Where are you storing them and do you have a legitmate SD card?

I had that problem storing them on the SD card, would delete them randomly (even on a legit Sandisk card). So now I just use the internal storage, no problem with saving them but it shouldn't have to be this way.

Sounds to me like you need to read up on radios.

your right! supposed to fix my camera problem too! thanks!
EDIT: so i upgraded the rom but it didnt fix the camera or sound problem.
my camera problem is that i have 4.1gb left and it says i can only take a little under 200 pics. the estimate of remaining memory is way off. however in the settings under memory the remaming storage is correct.
Yes, I noticed.

did u make sure that the camera is supposed to save pics to storage card by default and not in main memory....u can change this through settings in camera options or kaiser tweak as well.

yes, it does say its saving to the storage card. this is really weird, cuz it seems like when my internal memory lowers, the storage card estimate goes down as well.

yea there's a topic in the upgrade section that takes about if u have camera or sound problems (which i have) it should fix it. it lists different radio upgrades. didnt seem to help tho..
The speaker issue may be due to the hd wow effects or whatever that ****s called. I dont remember which dutty rom had that prog in there but it reduced the volume quite a bit on my phone. I just had to disable it.

Camera issue

Camera on the Tilt records for only 9 seconds. Picture mode is fine, only video is experiencing the problem. I tried setting duration to no limit, but it automatically stops after 9 seconds still. I tried various radios (i'm using dutty's 6.1 hybrid v2) but nothing, with one the camera just stopped working (1.64.8.xx)

You have how much free space left on your internal or storage memory wehen this happens? How much space do you have before attempting to record the video and where are you attempting to save the video? What happens if you attempt to save it to the other memory location (eg going from internal to storage card or vice versa). Perhaps its stopping because it's running out of storage space?
i have 90mb left of internal, and around 330mb on the card, i tried saving to both and its the same thing
u mgiht need to either hard reset or uopdate camera
how do i update the camera?

im stumped

Xperia Z1 general concerns.

Hi I've been using my z1 (latest firmware .257) for a week now and got a couple of questions I hope somebody can answer..
1. My battery is draining 1 percent every hour on standby mode. wifi on, everything else is off including sync, nfc, bluetooth etc. is this normal or bad?
2. I understand that there are apps that trigger wakelocks and keep your phone awake even on standby which in turn eats up battery. does that mean that I will be able to avoid this if I dont install apps with permission of "prevents phone from sleeping"?
3. I got a problem with my walkman because the sound files in my games installed is showing up in my music. It will take me forever to sort my music files one by one and add them in a playlist because i have too many songs. is this a bug? I also experience this with my XS..
4. I have this habit of charging my phone before going to bed and plugging off in the morning when i wake up. will this have a negative impact on my battery? cause i notice a slightly lower screen on time whenever I do this.
5. Camera - whenever I take photos, they appear to have this whitening thing going on. I dont know how to describe it but think of it as a normal pic and then add a flash to it so it becomes whiter.. sort of like a foggy white or the white you usually see on animes when someone is dreaming lol is this normal? it happens in any setting. even on normal mode with equalizer on 0. not that it degrades photo quality but on bright conditions it does make the photo look over exposed.. is this a software bug of a faulty device? if it is a bug, is sony working on this?
I hope some pro can answer these questions cause I cant sleep at night just thinking of it.. thank you for taking time to read.

Sorry but this is not latest firmware. Latest firmware is .290 Android 4.3.
To all you questions 1.2.3.4, except 5, the answar is to update to Android 4.3 FTF .290 and all will be solved.
For the answar 5, sorry but many users had reported same problem, you can try to clean the lens or to switch the flash to fill flash and try to understand how set up the camera for better pictures, but like I said is a problem because, my personal opinion, the flash is to close to the lens and is not a coincidence if many reported that too. 1000% sure if the flash will be more distanced this will never happen, so you have to keep it in that way and understand how to use it.

defenetly not the flash fault, mybe some fauly devices... probebly a lens problem. when i take pictures with my flash theres no white hue anywhere on the picture, works as it should and as it works with any other phone... i can upload some example shots if you want...
those small but high mp cameras have a complicated setup of lenses, nokia once had an interview on thier pureview camera and said every single unit is being personally adjusted before leaving the factory. mybe sony doesn't do it and counts on thier manufacturing proccess which is far from perfect as we can all testefy.
so i guess some units comes with bad lens arrangement...

Yes you can, but then I have to ask why did you buy a smart phone if you turn off all the smart bits?

just create a file called .nomedia and place it in all the folders that you do not want to show in your album/Walkman/movie playlist

This is a good way to do it. Modern batteries like being charged a lot, they do not like being empty or fully discharged.

thanks for the answer. about the .nomedia do you mean put any music file and rename it to .nomedia? my phone is not rooted. can I still do that?
as for camera, im not talking about flash. flash works perfectly. I mean pictures with no flash. I will try to provide a screen shot later. The pics are not that bad. just looks overexposed. as if they edited the file and added the brightness. exactly like that.. try to edit any photo and add up the brightness. thats exactly how my pictures look like.. again, its not that bad but sometimes annoying when lighting conditions are good cause the color looks exagerated and too white..
no just create a file with a name of .nomedia

just create a blank text file or something, and rename it to .nomedia
you don't have to be rooted because you shouldn't need to access the system partition. You can use any file explorer app to do this, or copy it straight from your PC
Just long press in any folder you want to create it and choose create file, call it .nomedia

wow i didnt know about the nomedia it worked liked magic lol are there anymore codes like that maybe to hide a video file or picture file from showing in album? i could use more tricks

In my case is not lens for sure, I still make some good pictures in good light, but in low light always my flash is ruining my pictures. What I said was reported by many users and not everybody who have a Z1. We are to many for a faulty lens, don't you think.

Same thing. Put a .nomedia in those folders too. Then reboot so that the media is scanned again and your images /videos in that folder will be hidden.

Disable Stamina Mode - it happens only when in Stamina. Or press Power Button before pressing Camera Button. That way it will wake phone from Stamina Mode and then it shouldn't freeze on taking pictures.

Rubbish. I don't use Stamina mode and mine still does it almost every time I try and use the camera.
Same here, started happening recently with no identifiable cause. I don't use Stamina mode either.
I'm using a custom rom freeze after 10 minutes of filming
yesterday my AR effect didnt want to capture picture, after reboot it was working fine.
I think there is something messed up in memory "cache" when you use a phone lot of time without shutdown or restart.

Hi i have the same problem with my z1's camera. Whenever i reboot my phone most of the apps crash, the camera will freeze and i cant open my album, im also having issues transfering files to sd card from internal memory. I really love this phone so i really need help about this, dunno what happend because it used to run perfectly.
Same problem here, Occurred today.
After restarting phone, camera works perfectly again
I have no idea what to do.
Best to provide a logcat or something that can help fix your issues. Use 'adb logcat > filename.txt' or google if you don't know how to logcat
☺
Hi, i Google logcat and i cant understand what it's for.. Im confused.. ? can you explain a bit about logcat.. If it's okay with you..
camera totally freeze...
Im using c6903 14.4.a.0.157 rooted... Before i root my phone, my stock camera was working fine. But after i root it, it just freeze every time i take picture. But when im using 3rd prty apps it works although it'll take me 5-10 secs before it take picture... I've been searching all over the web for a fix but cant find any.... Hope someone can help,me out here... TIA...
this problem appeared first on android kitkat, so if you want perfect camera, you have to go back to .290 jelly bean.
in kitkat it appears often on .757 but it got a lot better on .108 and later.
this freeze is caused by a wrong memory managment. if you choose the internal memory instead of external sd card, you camera wont freeze
P.S with .157 this problem should be fixed

Well thats a very common problem with 108.. The same was happening with me when i had 108.. All you need to do is update to 157. Even if you see the changelog for 157 it clearly states improvements in the camera.. Believe me this is what you need to do. Hope this helps
if i am not wrong , this problem has been fixed in .157. When i was on .108 stock , i had issues when i opened the camera from lock screen or using the camera button.
But after .157, i no longer face any issues when i open the camera from lock screen. sadly, the camera button still sometimes causes the problem u described above......

STEPS:
After unlocking bootloader and rooting your device. Just relock your bootloader.... And done....

Images blurry or don't show up in Album

This morning I went to look at some pics I took at the beach the other day...I have already viewed them in my Z3C several times...in the default Album viewer...no problem. This morning when I go to have a look again all the little thumbnails look blurry and several images are replaced by black with a white kind of triangle symbol...seemingly undisplayable. When I tap an image icon to show it...it either displays blurry or it doesn't display at all.
I've not done anything to any settings...I restart the phone and miraculously all images are now displaying correctly.
What's up with that?
thanks
Where did you store your pictures?
Internal memory or SD card?
Did you have the Stamina mode enabled?
I'm not sure where I store them...I think SD card...how can I determine where they are being stored?
No Stamina Mode isn't and hadn't been enabled...but Low battery mode was enabled.
Well, maybe the SD card was unmounted, to save some battery, or it did not wake from deepsleep.
Not sure if that's really the case, but it seems logical, as after reboot the card was mounted again and was working fine.
Nope they were not saving to the SD card. They were and are saving internally...and this blurry issue has happened again. This is outrageous for a default app...of all things...a stupid simple photo viewing app...to not be able to show me normal clear photos on the phone I took the photos with...
Constantly requiring a complete restart of the phone. This is a joke, really.
Are there any other photo viewing apps anyone would recommend?
That won't satisfy this annoying 'Album' thing that's gnawing away at the back of my brain.
Why are these images going blurry?
