Have you tried clearing the camera's cache?

Have you tried clearing the camera's cache?

[androidlover9]

i have tried all that to no avail

Even clearing the memory of the camera?

How about clearing the phone's cache partition via the recovery menu?

 

[ninefingers]

i cleared the data and memory in the app settings, and then cleared the one in recovery mode as well. still nothing

Try reflashing the stock rom, don't worry about the version number as long as if it's the latest one.

Then why'd you try flashing different firmwares?...

Then why'd you try flashing different firmwares?...

oh i see now... since my current firmware is lolipop 5.0, reflashing it would be flashing with the same 5.0?
oh and which country should i go for on sammobile since im in the u.s and im using the international vers.
btw sammobile has only 5.0.1 and iv already tried those

Let's take this one step at a time...

First, go to your settings-more-about device

Here you will find your model number under "Model number"

Tell me what it says so you can find the firmware you need.

EDIT: also tell me what version of Android you are on (5.0 or 5.0.x something?)

 

[ninefingers]

model number is gt-i9505g, android version is 5.0

 

[androidlover9]

Are you sure that there's a G at the end? With it I couldn't find any results.
