I have a Fairphone 4 5G running Android 13 (FP4.TP29.C.0101.20240121). The default camera app, ‘Camera’, is v7.00.04.0007.4.0. Any picture I take with the default camera app won’t display in Google Photos until I restart my phone. After I restart my phone all my pictures appear, but I’ll still have…

Here’s an example of my messaging app not being able to see pictures taken by the ‘Camera’ app, but perfectly happy to take and send pictures of its own. [Screenshot_20240320-182251]

Weird mine doesn’t do this at all - it can take a few seconds to appear anywhere as it processes but never that long. Have you tried Reset Settings in the camera app settings, and trying saving Internal not SD card / that it’s an accessible folder? Looks like it might be on external meaning SD card…

Mine is pretty quick to store them, and I notice your address is going to ‘external’. I’ve checked and mine are being saved internally, so maybe - as dwinter also noted - you have an external SD card? If you can swap to internal memory, then try see if this is quicker?

I haven’t had an SD card in my phone before, but I did just put one in to see. In the ‘Camera’ app I switched to “External” storage. Same result. But, when I went and browsed the SD card I could see that the following directory structure had been made: boot/ (Name of my SD card) boot/DCIM/IMG_202…

Go into the camera settings app and check where the storage is going. Mine is internal and I can’t change this as I’ve no SD card in it. Maybe yours is set to SD card? You can also reset all settings there, though you’ve maybe tried this before.

Yeah, I’ve done this. I’ve been switching between “Internal” and “External” storage as I’ve been playing with the SD card. I’ve also deleted all the user data for the Camera app. Because of the strange zero byte files being made I’ve also tried disabling Syncthing (which shouldn’t be touching any p…

I am experiencing the same problems (brandnew Fairphone 4 5G, Android 13) and cannot solve them. Did you find a solution?

No, but as far as I know I still have a ticket open with Fairphone regarding this. My workaround has been: Open the “Files” app In the side menu, go to “Fairphone 4 5G” Go to “DCIM” Delete any “0 B” (zero bytes) image files Go into the “Camera” folder Tap the three dots in the top right, go “Sort…

Not sure its the same issue however maybe it can fix your issue as well? [image] Fairphone 5 : Camera app creating 0 bytes photos Fairphone 5 For those of you (still) facing this issue, I solved it by reinstalling the default camera app using adb. Have a working ADB Fin…

Will let you know if sth turms out to be a solution withe the default camera so you can stop the workarou…
