903961 - Camera Driver Problem

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Camera, defect)

Description

[Cosmin Popescu]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/21.0.1180.89 Safari/537.1

Steps to reproduce:

On a Peak device, I've changed the camera.js code trying to get a photo at 3MP (jpeg format). 


Actual results:

When taking the photo, the camera application hangs on the preview, and the photo is not taken. The camera application is still responsive, but the picture is not taken. I have to restart the phone to have the camera working again. 

Apparently when taking the picture, the execution reaches the takePictureJpeg function(https://www.codeaurora.org/cgit/quic/la/platform/hardware/qcom/camera/tree/QCameraHWI_Still.cpp?h=aosp-new/ics#n1206) but never gets out of the cam_ops_action function (which I was not able to find in the b2g source tree). For reference, please see this link: http://forum.geeksphone.com/index.php?topic=5176.msg60407#msg60407


Expected results:

A 3MP picture should've been save on the device. 

NOTE: If I change the file format to raw instead of jpeg, then a 10M file is created and everything works as expected, but I cannot open the file (I've tried with GIMP with dcraw plugin and gwenview). As a workaround, is there any possibility to open these files?

Just a nit-pick ... it might help to somebody who actually understands to what you are talking about (which is not me) if you attach a patch with your changes.

New camera has landed. This bug is out of date.

New camera has landed in 1.4 or also in 1.3? Anyway, even with the Firefox 1.3 the problem is solved (from my point of view) since the resolution has been increased to 5MP by default. 

Thank you,
