Not sure if this is just my phone but after I take a picture or video I can't view it in the camera app. Everything is just blank/black. Is anyone else having their problem and is there a fix for it besides doing a factory reset? I've cleared the cameras data and set it up again but it's still doing it. Thanks for the help in advance everyone.

It's not just processing the pic or video and loading a few seconds later?

Do you have Google Photos app disabled by any chance?
Nope it's on, but I don't have backup on because I don't like using the photos app. Weird I know but I prefer to have my photos on my device only
I agree. I don't use the backup either but I disabled Photo app and after a while went by I notice no reviews in camera app. I enable Photos and my reviews came back. It was mentioned on a site I can't remember but it worked for me.

Is it like your own cloud storage with an automatic backup or you gotta do it manually and can only access at home? I've seen something years ago that gives you your own cloud storage with whatever hard drive you want but Google Photos and Google Drive is just so convenient and good, especially their searching.

Like I said though, even though I have photos enabled but backup off the reviews on the camera don't work.

Hi helpful people of XDA.
I've received my One and I'd very much like to keep it in my possession. Just wondering if there's a find my iPhone style app available for it? Or if its in settings somewhere?
Edit - Also while I'm here, the phone doesn't seem to distinguish between H and H+ it's annoying, is there any chance of being able to see the difference?
Thanks.

Plan B is awesome. You can install that one after you lost it via play.google.com
Otherwise you can use prey or any other app .. there are tons
Theres also Wheres my Droid
But as said, most of these "finding" apps you can install online through your google account and then track down your phone
So many apps I wasn't aware of!
Thanks chaps.

I am coming from a One X (att) and I dropped all of my photos from my One X into the 100 Media folder of my One.
When I go into my gallery, I can only see like 2 of these pics along with the photos that I have taken on my One.
Any way to be able to see all my photos in the gallery?

I was playing with the NFC on the One and I transferred a few items between my my phone and my daughter's Note II. I noticed that when I send her a picture the Note II will download it to her gallery and she just can click the notification and open the picture. But when she tries to send me a picture the One just opens the play store and I get item not found error, like it seems the one requires an app to download the picture but when the play store tries to take me to it the One is not compatible with that particular app?
Let me know if you guys are having the same problem or a work around.

I saw this too. I saw it happen both ways (to or from the ONE) if the destination device was doing something. See if it still happens when you aren't actively down/uploading something and aren't running any other apps and are on a basic home screen (no blink feed).
That's where I was when I successfully received and sent via NFC with the ONE.
Sounds like the Note is sending the app information instead of the file itself. Your phone is attempting to locate this mysterious different app in the store, but can't find it because it doesn't exist up there. Seems like this is an issue of Samsung not coding in a way that makes their device play nicely with others.

Well, I should add I beamed between a GS3 and Moto RAZR M with success (all phones stock & unrooted).
Perhaps it could be limited to the Note II if you still have trouble after trying the above.
I just tried with my Nexus 7 and it works fine both ways sending picture, I will try later today with the Note II. Sounds like it's the Note,'s fault after trying your advice. Now if I could make Google wallet to work without rooting my phone.....

Just put the phones back to back (might have to move it around a little to find the NFC locations) and once it vibrates click on what you want to share

... And make sure you have it enabled on both phones obviously.
Usually settings, near the top by wireless... for the HTC One press "More..." then enable NFC in there.
Reporting back, The issue is with the Galaxy Note II. I was able to send both ways pictures from the nexus 7 and the one, but when I try to sent from the note II to the other 2 devices I just get the broken market link. I check the Note's forum later.
The Samsung phone uses their own NFC app. So when you try and transfer it to any other phone other then a Samsung phone it is looking for the NFC app on the playstore. This happens with the S3 as well.
I think if you download the Samsung NFC Tectile app it might work. Not sure 100% on that.

File Expert is a good NFC app replacement. You can send a lot of stuff through it too. Like full games (apk's), songs, pictures etc.
I never use NFC so I'm not too worried about it.

Probably sbeam messing with stuff. Had this problem with the Note II trying to beam to an Optimus G
I did get a clean transfer though with a GS3 that was stock, so not sure about all of that, though I bet it has something to do with it.

The problem is not sending pictures to the Note II. the problem is sending pictures from the Note II to the one. I tried turning off s-beam and the Note recognized the NFC on the HTC one but it didn't even tried to send the picture.
I've been meaning to root my gs5 but I'm wondering if there's any camera mods. Aside from debloating, increased camera performance is really all I need (it usually takes me about 3-5 tries to get a non blurry picture) but I'm worried that once I'm rooted, I can't complain to att and get a new s5 since it might be a hardware problem
Tl;dr anyone found a good camera mod or know someone who is working on one?

i opened a thread about this and have still yet to find a solution... i might have to go back to using a 3rd party app.. CameraZoom+ worked pretty decent for me on my previous s4 and note3.
i have noticed that turning on "Tap to take pic." and tapping the screen to capture the photo has been working decent.

possibly.. i noticed that when the camera snaps the pic and it flashes the white boarders.. that particular moment doesnt seem to be the actual moment that the photo is taken.. so maybe when the screen flashes, we think the photo is taken and move our hands out of instinct ?

Though the nexus camera works great on the nexus line I've noticed on my so when I use it to capture something that is moving like my child there is a delay in capture...the screen will flash with what I thought I got but when I look at the picture it will be a delayed shot often missing what I wanted. The Samsung camera is not alol that bad.

Yeh I don't get it either, I never take blurry photos. See so many complaints on here and other forums and no clue why, my friends S5 doesn't take blurry pics either. I only turned off pic stabilization. I just make sure the the image is in focus before shooting.
Has everyone removed the factory plastic off the lens?

Hello everyone,
I have been having this problem for a few weeks now, and it has gotten to the point where I think something is SERIOUSLY wrong with my phone.
I have a 512gb UNLOCKED N960U1. Never rooted. I'm a little OCD with my app arrangement so i have every app on my phone in folders so i dont have to get a finger hernia scrolling through everything.
My problem is that I use low-power mode often. I also like to turn in on while driving, and charge my phone in the car that way. Lately when coming OUT of low-power mode, I've found that my apps have DUPLICATED. Every. Single. One. Doesn't matter if the phone is charging, or not. They duplicate, BOTH APPS OPEN, and I have to uninstall the second ones with no data loss to the original(?) one.
I also like to change my themes weekly. Thats what originally started the problems. Recently, after switching a theme out again, I found that the phone had emptied out my folders into a giant CF in my app drawer. Thinking "at least its not old school Samsung LAG", I just put them BACK. No biggie.
NO GO. I did that THREE SEPARATE TIMES. I have 425+ apps on my phone. Sometimes SOME of the apps will be removed from the folders, sometimes ALL of the apps.
The breaking point for me was when I took it off of low-power mode as I was leaving the car, and the apps spread back out, and SOME WEREN'T EVEN SHOWING. Furious, I knew I was going to use my tapatalk app to get onto XDA to ask for help or guidance. Tapatalk Pro is on my phone, but WAS NOT SHOWING IN THE APP DRAWER. So i searched for it instead. It came up in the SEARCH, but not alphabetically where it SHOULD be. Now when you find an app by searching, if the app comes up, you can long press it and it will give you the option to "locate" where the app is store on your phone (folder, which screen, etc.) When that was done, the phone froze briefly, and then did nothing.
Im at my wit's end on this issue. The most horrible part is that I can't find ANYONE who is having this issue other than me. Phone has not been dropped, no cracks, nothing.
What the hell is wrong with my phone??
This is the most horrific problem I've ever read on XDA is all my time here. Sorry that I don't have a solution to your problem, but just reading through your post is terrifying.

No third party launcher. I use the standard, built in theme options when I switch themes, and the themes are downloaded from the Samsung theme app/store/part.

Unfortunately thats exactly what I did. I started putting my apps in folders as everything was downloading. I also began to get rid of apps because I figured that definitely didn't help.
By the time the phone finished downloading all my backup'd apps, the two apps I deleted were BACK, and the apps came out of the folders I had just put in. Back to the same situation. :silly::crying:

Since what you're experiencing is most likely a software issue, you may want to factory reset and try not restoring any of your backed up apps, just manually install the basic ones and see how it behaves for a few hours.
