ahunter 108 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) My Snapdragon camera has more issues than the early settlers of Australia. I got 3 great photo's out of the camera now it just shows black with icons. Also shuts down with errors, not responding. I have cleared the cache but not data. I cannot find Snapdragon Camera on google play. If I delete it I am not sure where to re-install it from. Other camera app 'A Better Camera' is not giving good photo's Edited February 9, 2020 by ahunter SOLUTION FOUND Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MickH 211 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I'd have a go at clearing the storage in App info -> Storage. Have a look around in the settings too, just to make sure nothing is amiss in there. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
netman 1,424 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 This happened to me too, clearing it's data and cache seems to have permanently fixed it. I think it broke because of OTA coming in and not liking settings from a previous version of the app, or something like that. 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ahunter 108 Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Thanks. >Settings >Storage >Other Apps >SELECT Snapdragon Camera >SELECT Clear Storage and >SELECT Clear Cache No re-installation of app required. Confirmed Solution. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ahunter 108 Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 NOTE: Camera app is working again but is exhibiting strange behaviour. 1. Open with hardware camera button. Picture preview does not show. Need to open a gallery app separately to see picture. 2. Open with software button. Picture preview shows and opens gallery app. 3. Rotation Control app I use seems to fight the app. Squeezing the view finder but not the app. Adjusting settings seems to fix this. 4. Did get an error and had to clear cache and data again Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a known bug that happens for everyone I believe, the intention is probably to have this happen only when opening the camera from the lock screen so that people cannot spy on your pictures without unlocking. Most phones / camera apps I've used even allow gallery access from locked phone but only to new pictures. Edited February 9, 2020 by netman 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
