How To Fix Snapchat Camera Quality On Android

How to fix Snapchat Photographic camera Errors!

Does your photographic camera frequently stop working in Snapchat? I FINALLY plant a consistent solution!

Update: My solution isn't peculiarly infallible (manifestly I didn't test enough before declaring that it worked). I'yard working on it.

Update two: I've disabled the Filters and Forepart-Facing Flash and and so far, no camera bug! I'thou willing to bet that the filters are causing problems for you as well - and I take a theory as to why, too. Meet beneath for instructions and a possible explanation

Practice you become the 'Could non connect to photographic camera' mistake in Snapchat on Android? Here is my list of things you tin endeavour, followed by the solution that finally solved this problem for me.
~~My solution requires Tasker and Greenify apps though!~~

Note that not all of these solutions volition exist applicative.
Also annotation that these solutions vary in ease of execution, and how harmful they might be to your phone...

Restart Snapchat (unlikely to work just worth a attempt)
Restart the photographic camera app
Restart your phone (This should usually piece of work only it is a hurting to practice this every time the camera breaks!)
If that doesn't piece of work, attempt restarting Snapchat, turning off your phone for a few minutes, then turning it on again
Uninstall Snapchat, restart your phone and reinstall Snapchat
Disable Geotagging of photos (Open up camera, go to settings and switch it off in that location)
Endeavour using the Snapchat Beta aqueduct
Boot your telephone into recovery mode, wipe Dalvik enshroud and cache division
Update Snapchat (if there is an update available)
Restore your phone to manufactory settings (you have to be pretty drastic to do this one)
Wink the Omni Rom Modernistic
Use the Restart Camera APK by temasek (this just restarts the photographic camera, merely is quicker than rebooting your phone)
Rename the DCIM folder. The side by side time yous run the camera app, it will recreate this folder. Yous volition need to restore your photos from the renamed binder.
Install and utilize Google Camera instead
Alternatively if you take Google Camera installed already, try uninstalling it and using the stock photographic camera instead
Flash the latest version of GApps for your ROM
(if you take an LG G2 or something similar) - Go to Settings > Display > Aspect Ratio Correction and switch it off
(if you accept a Samsung Galaxy) - Go to Settings > Brandish > Adapt Display and switch it off

And finally - the solution that fixes the Snapchat camera problem for me:

(Actually to be honest it's more like a workaround.
And requires Tasker and Greenify!
If you lot don't take Tasker and Greenify, go them both at present.)

But follow these instructions:

Create a new task chosen 'Greenify Snapchat' or any you prefer

Add together the following actions to the Greenify Snapchat task:

Kill App - Snapchat (App > Kill App > Snapchat)

Hibernate Now - Snapchat (Plugin > Greenify > Hibernate Now > Snapchat)

Create a new profile chosen 'Snapchat Greenifier' or whatsoever you lot prefer

Use the following settings:

Context: Application - Snapchat

Exit Task: Greenify Snapchat

~~That should do information technology! Since creating this profile in Tasker, my camera hasn't failed once, even with thorough testing!~~

The real solution:

Disable filters.

Seriously, that'due south information technology. If y'all don't know how to do that, here are the steps to fix your snapchat camera, in more particular:

Open Snapchat. If y'all go a blank screen with a popup saying 'Snapchat cannot connect to the camera', go along pressing Cancel until it goes away.
Click on the ghost at the top of the screen:
Then click on the cog at the top right of the screen:
Scroll downward to Manage, under the heading Additional Services, and click on information technology:
Untick the Filters box:
If your camera is not currently working, restart your telephone.

You should at present be able to run Snapchat without the camera failing any more! You won't exist able to send snaps with filters, merely who uses them anyway?

My theory as to why the filters crusade problems is considering Snapchat wants to utilize location services for at to the lowest degree ane of the filters (presumably the 1 that shows your speed), and this somehow messes with the camera and causes it to pause. I e'er have location services turned off unless I'm using Google Maps, so it doesn't seem to matter whether you lot accept information technology on or off - the photographic camera tends to break either way.

If your camera breaks once again later on the most recent Snapchat update:

Yous should exist able to gear up it by immigration your enshroud and rebooting your phone. You lot might exist able to get away with but immigration the Snapchat cache; I cleared the unabridged cache partition from recovery and this solved it for me.

This works for me and hopefully solves your Snapchat photographic camera problems as well! If none of the higher up solutions work for you, please bulletin me below and permit me know!

Past the fashion, I am currently using the Resurrection Remix ROM, but had the aforementioned issues with Cyanogenmod eleven. I didn't have whatever Snapchat photographic camera problems with stock ROM.
