Images blurry or don't show up in Album - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

Stripes taking photos on htc kaiser

I have a htc Kaiser and there is a problem with the external 3Mp camera. When you start the application to take photos, then appears two parallel stripes, one half yellow hald red, and other below half green half blue. This happens only in the external ( 3 Mp ) camera, not in the 3g one. How I can fix it ????

Clean the lense
I have the same problem.
Tried cleaning the lens, didn't work.
Hard reset didn't work either.
Seems like a hardware fault with the camera.
Wait, are you saying they appear in the "viewfinder" of the app, or the actual photos?
Post an example shot please?
Mostly, It's cameras bug.

Was that supposed to be an answer to my question or a response to someone else?
Really, it's not possible to say whether this is an unusual "feature" or a bug without more info. The way the original poster describes it, it sounds like it might be some unusual framing assist feature in the live preview. No one seems to be willing to say whether it is in the previews or if it is in the actual pictures taken. (I know I have seen the Kaiser pictures thread, and they look pretty good other than some obvious deficiencies in the debayering algorithm that cause "maze" patterns to appear in certain situations, which is a common problem with some of the older/simpler debayering algorithms.)

yes, good question. does it look like this when you view it on your computer, or is it only when it's sized down on your device?
I can see the stripes while taking the picture and they are also part of the saved image. Viewed on the TyTN II and on a PC.
The camera was working fine then all of a sudden just started showing stripes.
Attached are some photos.
Looks like i might have to send the TyTN II for repair.
I also noticed that when you take the battery cover off, it seems like the camare can be taken out, so it may have moved and not making a good contact.

lol my first glance and it looked like you were targeting things with a crosshair. yea thats different than the lines i hought you were talking about, you need to send that back for repair.
Yeah, definately something wrong there, likely broken hardware.
Also I have the same problemna!
This happened to mine too, after working fine for about a month. Seems like a common problem, interesting it shows up after time too. I sent mine in for repair/replacement but it may happen again....
Even my own, for a month everything was ok, then is the line appeared
Same Problem
My camera also did this. I changed the flicker adjustment in the camera settings to 60 hz from auto and it went away, only to reappear again. Again, I changed the flicker adjustment, this time to aut, and it went away again. Very strange. It appears I can paly with the flicker adjustment in the camera settings and make it go away, at least for a while. It appears to be a common problem, likely software related.
i too
hi i too experiance the same problem.......
is there any one to help us... please post a geniune reply to our problem

Camera Frozen??

So this is a weird issue..I wasn't able to find it anywhere. Hopefully I can explain it correctly. Anywho..when entering the camera app (or using the camera in general whether it be through snapchat or Instagram), the image appears frozen on the screen. Like it already took a picture and it just sticks...no movement. Interestingly enough if I move the phone around and take a picture of a different area, the picture shows up in the gallery correctly. It doesn't seem like a hardware issue. The camera still works, but I can't tell what I'm taking a picture of. I've tried restarting my phone, but I'm not sure what else to try. I have the AT&T version btw.
The camera works properly when taking a video btw.
EDIT: solved. I cleared the data and cache for the gallery. I have no idea why that worked, but it did.

[Q] Camera Force closing

Seems there is an app that may be causing it. Not entirely sure, but when I first boot the rom clean, the camera works somewhat fine, I can take pictures. However, once I sign in and update/install my apps, something makes the camera force close. I can get it open sometimes for a few seconds, but then it dies, sometimes randomly, sometimes when I push the shutter key. Now, what I have found so far, is that if I lay the phone down so the screen starts out black, allowing light sometimes crashes it, and sometimes makes it more stable, it can take pictures if I do it this way. But it seems to do with the lighting, if it's real bright, it will close instantly. If it's dark, I have more time. I can use other camera apps just fine. It started when Sense 6 came out, tried InsertCoin and RevHD, both wiping system/cache/data and starting fresh. Looking on the forums, but not seeing many other people having issues...anything I can do to see what's exactly going on with my camera app? I like the HTC sense app unfortunately, it's pretty decent. Haven't seen any others that really do the same, does anyone have any recommendations? I've deleted all the pictures as well, still no luck.
Rage, found some files on the SD card (didnt wipe internalSD), it seemed to help, but whenever I hit the shutter button, it dies now. Bah. Although I notice the sound of the shutter getting stuck and going "tick tick tick" like it's about to take the photo. Maybe related to sound.

Huawei camera app corrupting photos

Hi all,
Been very happy with my p20 pro in the 6 months I've had it. The last few days I have noticed that all of the photos I have taken in the default camera app are corrupted. Any photo I take corrupts and won't open. When I try to open them in gallery it just says loading forever and if I try to send them in WhatsApp you get the gray box with an icon inside.
If I take a photo with a different camera app or by WhatsApps camera then the photos are fine.
I installed the 9.0 update recently but think it worked fine for a few days before this issue came up.
Anyone else experienced this?
Yep this thing appeared to me today, and its starting to get annoying as ****, not only that, the HDR mode sometimes save a picture with green stripes, for some reason also the camera crash every then, ill be doing a factory reset today, something may be wrong after updating to pie, since i didnt have any of those problems before.
I've another problem in which the pictures taken in portrait has green lines in the bokeh area after which the camera app crashes... After a restart it didn't appear yet.

Phone freezes after I take a photo

I have a weird issue with the phone camera.
Sometimes, if i take a photo outside and it's sunny the phone freezes and i have to manually restart it. Sometimes it even restarts on its own, instead of freezing. If i take the photo inside, or it's not sunny outside it works great.
The issue started to appear very seldom, but now it's almost all the time, but it's still not 100% of the time. If it froze/restarted once, then it will again. The most i tried consecutively is 6 times i believe. But if i change location, or wait a while it might work. Also if i change a setting (like 9MP quality, instead of 13MP) it might work a while, but then it starts to freeze/restart again. Also i noticed a few times, that the photo has a narrow vertical line of variable width of randomly colored pixels.
All of this points to some issue/fault with the color camera/light sensor, especially since if i use the BW mode then i have no issues at all.
BUT, if i use the panoramic mode, the phone does not freeze/restart, so now it looks like a software issue
Next thing i want to try is a factory reset, but this is kind of a last resort since i was never lucky with backups, and always somethings got lost.
Does any of you know what the issue might be and what i could try before the factory reset?
