Phone crashes when I try to video and pictures completely grey? - Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers

When ever I switch to take a video it says my camera app has stopped working and when I try to take a pic, it clicks shows the pic in the top right but when I click on it, its just a completely grey block.
I've only had the phone a few weeks and this is first time I decided to test the camera as I don't really take a lot of pics.
I really don't wanna do another factory reset as I've only just installed and set up everything.
Anyone know what it is?

Your not by chance having problems with your video playback too, are you?
After the Official update, my Photos and Videos page will lock up if you stop on it or look at a pic or vid too. I am now adding each cab one by one to find the culprit. Anyone else having this issue?
i did a hard reset on my phone, bringing it back to stock, and the first thing i checked after the hard reset was the albumn, know it says thier are no photos in the albumn even tho their are

[Q] Gallery acting up???

Sometimes when i take pictures and check them out later they are fine until i tap on them from the gallery then they get all messed up and seem to get saved that way. Here is my hurried explanation of what that looks like...On the phone they are half cut out and a rainbow of color goes where the picture crops out so the top half is fine the bottom is filled in with the cascade of color. From inside the gallery the picture loooooks fine until i tap on it then its all messed up again, if i put these messed up pictures online or save them to my computer they are still ruined. This is becoming a problem because i usually have no time to write down my schedule at work and i like to snap a picture of it which takes seconds also it happens occasionally i can take several pictures at a time and they all come out fine. I'am rooted using photon torpedo i have edited my build prop in the past for higher quality still shots but i restored the default build along time ago. Iam not able to update at the moment unless i go back to stock if that would help i would return to stock,update and root later. Anyone have this happen?
Nope.I've has my pictures cut in half tough with the rainbow bit before.greet changing the store location and see if that helps. G.l.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
if storage location does not fix it, try a hard reset. I was having some issues and had to hard reset, open camera, take pic, check it gallery otherwise i would get a force close in the gallery when trying to "album" the photos. Hope this helps

Recording video requires Save button, any way to change this?

I lost multiple small videos of my daughter yesterday learning to ride without training wheels for the first time yesterday because it was the first time I'd used the video/camcorder and it was in bright light and I didn't see a Save button. My old phone, my wifes SGS2, etc, you just start video, and when you stop, it's done. No "saving" required.
I was basically helping her off, pulling out the Note, unlock, camera->video, record until she stopped, then I'd stop recording and hit back to go back to the home screen so the camera wasn't "running" in my pocket. Each time i did this, I threw away the recording.
Anyone know a setting or something, or maybe an alternative app that doesn't do this? I know now, but it's still really aggravating.
I just tried it and it works for me. When recording...i click the back button and it auto saved. Try resetting your cam settings.

wtf? This is the stock ROM, I haven't fiddled with anything, and it's the first time I used the video camera at all.. Meeehhh...
No problem here either - stock rom, I've made multiple recordings.

Damnit, I figured it out. I use Camera Zoom, which launches the built-in Camcorder app. Or at least it looks the same, not 100% sure. If I do it that way, I have to hit save or it tosses it.
If I launch the stock Camera app and switch to video, and do the same thing with record, stop, I see NO save button, and just hitting back I found the video in the gallery.

Camera closes after taking pic...

Hello everyone. I just got this phone the other day after returning the galaxy s5. I am loving it but I have one issue and maybe I'm just doing something wrong.
Everytime I take a picture in the camera app after tapping the check button, the camera closes and I return to the home screen. Does anyone else have this problem or is there something obvious I'm doing wrong?
Not normal. If the phone is stock (unrooted, etc.) I would try a factory reset (backup any personal data first) and see if the problem persists.
Only time I see a check in camera app is when sending picture via mms and it asks where I want to send [email protected],camera etc... if this is case of attaching picture directly from camera to an mms then this is a normal function, if taking a picture and it just closes then this is not normal reaction
Well it seems that the problem has resolved itself. I was just about to post a screen shot of the check mark so you guys could see it and then it just starting working as normal. Thanks for the responses and I'll post here if it comes up again.
Ok the problem returned... I showed the issue to a buddy who has the same phone and it also turned out that I was missing several options on the camera. I did a factory reset and the problem persisted.
I think I found the issue... I was using Google Now Launcher. Apparently that launcher doesn't play well with the camera. I uninstalled the launcher and voila, all the features (video, zoe, dual camera,etc) are back and the camera no longer closes after taking a pic.
Anyone else want to test this theory and see if happens?
confirmed issue and workaround
Hi there,
I can confirm that the Now launcher uses the native Google camera instead of the Zoe camera. I have also found that from the lock screen with the now launcher installed, unlocking by pulling the camera icon opens the full HTC zoe-enabled camera again. I find this super annoying as I'd like to have Google launcher and have the camera work properly. Anyone know a fix for this other than my workaround?
Ditto for T-Mobile HTC One (M7)
There's a lot I really like about the Google Launcher, but this just drives me nuts. I didn't really understand the workaround suggested here ( though I have no doubt it works). But the suggestion sounded on target. So, I went into my app list and shared it from there. It didn't do the funky stuff any more. I wonder if there's a setting to change that behavior: like someone thought, Hey, take a picture and go back to our regular programming? It's a shame because I really feel that the Google camera takes better picture.
In any case, just to let folks know that this is a real problem. The OP was on target.
To anyone else having this problem that does not use Google Now Launcher, another app that causes this is Omni Swipe. The default camera button in the tools section isn't the right camera (not sure what it's trying to access but still). If you add the correct camera app to the app section, it'll be fine.
Yes, this solved my problem as well. I went back to the default launcher and now the camera is working fine

Gallery closing after taking a picture and trying to review it

Hi there,
this issue quickly came into place after I got my phone for a couple of days. Maybe it's because I have a lot of pictures on my device but it's very annoying.
So what happens?
I take a picture with the stock camera and immediately after taking it, I see it on the bottom right where I can click it to open the gallery. If I do that the picture opens for a split second and I'm back in the camera view again. I can try that as often I want and it happens again and again. But after about 5 seconds or so it works. Then the gallery (or the taken picture to be more precise) stays open and can be reviewed or shared etc.
Also when I wait those 5 seconds after taking it. So it seems something is processed there but on one of the "fastest phones" this is kind of strange.
Anyone with the same problem?
Thanks

I have the same issue. Maybe the reason is because I have too many pictures.
