I have an iPhone 4 16G and I updated to iOS5 the day after it was availible. I have been using since then and everything has been working great. I have taken about 20 or so pics and nothing has been wrong. Now suddenly when I take a picture it is either 1) blurry and will not focus unless I hit edit, or 2) a white screen with a box in the middle. If I try to edit picture by using auto enhance feature it will show saving picture and once it is saved it will be black. I can email fuzzy picture to wife who has exact same specs as me and hers is fine. She can email me pictures that are fine on her phone and when I save them it reverts back to top. I can put them on computer and they show up just fine. There are also some pictures that were clear 2 days ago that are no longer clear now. Anyone else having this problem? Anyone know how I can fix it? Thank you.
Got a tip for us?

Pics in camera roll not working
- Thread starter gocards

I have tried Lock/home reset. I turned off photo stream. Only way I have found to keep it from being blurry is to take a picture and view it through the camera app. If I try to make as wallpaper or send it though it shows Saving Picture and stalls.
I have the same exact problem as you gocards. I thought I was the only one. Ive had ios5 since release and just noticed this problem today after using the quick camera function from the lock screen. I also used the + volume button to take the picture.
The camera was 100% working a day ago and the only 2 new changes I made to the phone before this happened was download zombieville usa 2 and also shut off Setting Time Zone under Location Services > System Services > Setting time zone...
Idk if any of these are causing the problem but I figure I'd give as much info as possible so we can narrow down this issue
Another thing I noticed before but I cant reproduce it now. I went to tap the trash can to delete a photo and it said saving photo

I found our solution!! Found this in another thread.
http://www.iphoneincanada.ca/how-to...l-crash-and-photos-turned-to-other-in-itunes/
I did as it said and the first time it did not work because I did a home/lock reset. Brought files back in. Deleted files again and did a soft reset and when phone came back up opened camera roll and it took about 3 seconds for my photos to come up. Only had about 300 due to me deleting off many to try and fix prior. All on pc so none lost. Very grateful I saw this and did not have to restore phone.

Thank you !
You sir are the man!!! Ive been searching for the past day and its been hard to try and find this exact problem.
I followed what a few commenters said and only deleted the Photos.sqlite in PhotoData folder. Then rebooted the phone and went to camera roll. It said I didnt have any pictures but after 20 seconds it started restoring the photos one by one. I recommend backing up all pictures but since I only had 20 that weren't important I didn't bother. Also I lost photos that were synced from my computer but i'm sure once I resync they will all be restored.
I cant thank you enough for finding the solution ! ! ! Now to go and return the favor I'm gonna try and find other people with the same problem and pass on your solution ( With credit to you of course )
