IPhone 5s lockscreen / photo app bug

I have noticed a reproducible bug that occurs on the lockscreen of my iphone 5s running ios 7.0.2. Here is a picture of the bug occuring on my lockscreen. It occurs as follows:
I wake the phone up to the lockscreen,
Next, I slide the camera icon up and press the camera roll square in the bottom left corner of the camera app,
Then, while still in the camera roll section of the camera app, I put the phone back to sleep,
The next time i wake my phone up from sleep I see this lockscreen.
Has anyone else experienced this as well? I want to make sure apple is aware so they can fix it in a software update.

I found a way to reverse to the keyboard with the normal size thanks to the post of Skemez1 above.
The bug is produced when you activate the camera from the lock screen and that you take a picture in landscape mode. Therefore when the keyboard appears zoomed in the lock screen, do this in order to get back to  the normal size:
- activate again the camera from the lock screen,
- put the phone in portrait mode. You might have to first swerve to landscape, but do end with portrait.
- press the sleep button
It worked for me. The bug is still there, but at least I know how to get back to the normal keyboard.
This means that actually you should routinely avoid to press the sleep button when your camera is in landscape.
Hope it works for you.

  • How do i transfer a video back onto my iPhone in the Photo app where it originally was and can be shared from (NOT the video app)

    I have a video that i originally took using my iphone but then transfered to my PC.  I want to put it back onto my iPhone in the photo app (NOT video app) so i can share it straight from my phone. 
    Since one of the iphone updates enabled the volume button as a camera shutter button and i was shooting the video one handed, i held the camera with the volume buttons on top.  Unfortunatly, the phone still saves it in such a way that only the iphone and itunes recognize the proper orientation intended and when it's opened with any other device or program, it automatically makes the part of the video that's against the smooth side of the phone always the top side (regardless of if that makes the video sideways or upside down).  I was able to get the video back onto my phone as a "video" where it shows up in the video app as a "movie" and there are no options to share via text, email, youtube (which were options when the video was still in the photo app).  I need to be able to share the video with family

    Have you transferred photos from your computer to your iPhone which is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
    If so, you can place this video in the folder of photos on your computer that is selected to be transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process. Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select Include Videos.

  • Photos app bug resurrects long-removed photos (related to PNG alpha)

    Wanted to report/discuss a possible privacy concern and image glitch, and understand it better for submission to Apple's feedback page: the iPad (and maybe iPhone) Photos app will consitently resurrect long-deleted photos in your Camera Roll, under certain circumstances. These are long-removed photos (as in removed many months ago, prior to the iOS 5 update), and possibly only the reduced-size thumbnail versions.
    Note: as near as I can tell, the deleted photos were NOT originally from the camera roll! That's where they resurface, but I believe they are photos from other albums, maybe once which used to by synched to iPad but which I no longer synch. So "removed" might mean deleted or it might mean "no longer synched to iPad"... the images are so old I can't recall.
    So the bug, I'm guessing, it two-fold:
    1) The Photos app (and/or iPhoto during wired synch?) is not fully removing photos (or at least, their thumbs). They're no longer visible in Photos app, but are being retained somewhere on the device.
    2) A glitch in the Photos camera roll PNG handling (which I think may be new with iOS 5) causes those old images ro re-surface when you add a PNG to the camera roll. (The old photos were JPEG, but the image that triggers the bug must be a PNG with alpha channel)
    I have seen this on both an iPad 1 and iPad 2, running iOS 5.
    Here's how to reproduce it:
    1) Synch some photos to your iPad, then deselect them for synching and re-synch (so they're not there any more). Also, add some photos or screenshots to the camera roll and then delete them. I say to do both because I'm not 100% where the old photos come from, and I'm hoping this covers all bases! Actually, most people have already done these things in the past, and can probably skip this step.
    2)  Generate a transparent PNG using the art app Procreate (and probably any app that saves PNGs to the camera roll with alpha channel). All you have to do is scribble somethign into a blank Procreate canvas, then export it to your photo album. There is no need to do anything special to get an alpha channel or PNG format: you always get that. (Unless you used the Fill command to completely cover the canvas.) Now in the camera roll there should be your scribble on a transparent background. You can email it to yourself and see that clearly in Photoshop or Preview.
    3) Here's the glitch: look at your camera roll (thumbnails view) and you'll see that the alpha-transparent background of the image has become one of your old removed photos! Tap it to enlarge and the alpha becomes black (which is fine, although it may seem odd if you intended to paint onto the default white canvas). But for just a moment, before you see the black, you will get a full-size glimpse of the old photo. (Or, maybe, an enlargement of the thumbnail?)
    4) If you keep saving more alpha PNGs, you'll keep seeing more and different old photos coming back to life in the alpha regions of the thumbnails (and, briefly, at full size).
    5) If you delete all those PNGs and then save some new ones, you'll see the same sequence of old photos reappear again.
    Needed fix: removed phtos/thumbnails should be properly purged, and alpha PNGs should show simply black (or some default background) at all times.

    Ok, I replicated it and I don't like it! I didn't use the one you marked cause I couldn't call it up properly but I did Bing
    transparent gifs and loaded up 3, one was totally invisible in the thumbnail and I could clearly see one of my pics perfectly in the thumbnail but when I brought it to page the gif filled the frame.
    I have no idea where the pic came from, I mean I recognize it but from where in the album I have no idea.
    Oh yeah, I was wrong about the first pic coming to page, it wasn't the same image but a different one...and I have no idea how the one that came up, (what i thought was the underlying pic) did, or how it got there or even from where.
    This is some weird stuff though not as weird as that silly *** movie, what a load of tripe; I should have just spent my
    time on this, it's infinitely more enjoyable!
    Ok, here's the consensus from my layman iPad view:
    What happened now and most probably before was a 'transparent gif' or a partially transparent gif like the one I spoke of first that I could see the edge of or the outer perimeter of, the underlining image with the gif taking up say 3/4 of the thumbnail; this it what it was.
    This is totally apparent to me now because of your having me import a totally transparent gif which was invisible over my pic, thus the freaky part I didn't like...keying the thumbnail with one thing and ending up with something totally different when brought to page.
    Still doesn't explain where this silly iPad is grabbing these pics from?
      But here's something funny; my camera roll shows say 9,200 pics but my, 'iMy System' app say I have like 11,300 which I always thought was a fluke, that it was just reading wrong but maybe it's seeing something we're not.           What if all those pics we're deleting to save space or just generally culling have never left the system?                     Maybe that goofy app is really reading the true count!
       Those others up above us here who mentioned privacy concerns.. this could be whats going on, there's a ghost
    in the machine and it be our old pics and god knows what else floating around in that iPads memory.
    Ok, I'm crazy tired and I have to wrap this up. Least now we know how to replicate this but on the other hand I think we opened up an even bigger can of worms... the mystery of where all those images are hiding in our iPads?
    I haven't hardwired to a computer since I upgraded to ios5 so whatever's going on here, leastwise for me is iPad
    based and can't be blamed for synching issues like you discuss up above unless what I'm grabbing here is old stuff
    reimported back into my pad from the mainframe when I was backed up for the ios5 upgrade?
    Oh well, let me know what you think. Please do forgive my not getting back to you sooner on account of the movie
    but you already know I regret choosing that over this! Hope you had a good night and thanks...

  • IOS5 Photos app bug

    So I was browsing the web and decided to download a pic (Save to camera roll), when I opened the Photos app to check the pic, the app went crazy, buttons in the app changed places and some even disappeared, new pics save as a white pic and older photos became incredibly foggy/pixelled. I have tried rebooting and hasnt worked, something just went wrong and this huge bug was created. Ideas?
    The device is an iPod Touch 4G, although that doesnt seem to matter since the problem clearly is on the software side. iOS 5 sounded cool but really, is the most buggy update ever :/

    Mine was fixed following the direction on this thread.

  • IOS Photos app bug

    I didn't know where to submit this to apple, so hopefully someone reads it.
    Since about 2 iOS updates ago, I've noticed a bug in the regular Photos app. When switching back to Albums view after looking at Places, the list of albums will start at the very top of the screen (behind the clock, and app controls) making it impossible to click on the Camera Roll.
    You have to go to the App Switched and kill the photos app to get it to work properly again.

    Ah, now I see it's a well known problem...
    It's been happening since 4.3, have they missed it in the last couple releases?

  • Rev 3 photo app bugs/issues

    Rev 3 photo app has unwanted changes/bugs:
    Photos won't orient with earphone jack in up position as they did before, sometimes this orientation is best for viewing the LCD screen in certain situations.
    When shuffle-displaying photos from a folder, if it happens to hit the last photo in the folder it stops and goes back to folder view instead of randomly selecting another photo. This would be a new bug since it seemingly used to end only after going through all photos in a folder.
    When in shuffle, if you tap a photo to stop the shuffle you no longer get the play button, just forward and back buttons. You have to go back to the folder view to regain the play button.
    These changes are not epic fails, but they are annoying. Why was it necessary to change this app at all? There should be settings options to use the previous features.

    sometimes apple do change things inexplicably, not always for the better.
    you should report bugs here
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html
    BUT i'm not sure these things are bugs, furthermore i suspect it is your ipod rather than a general problem.
    i am assuming you mean the 3rd Generation when you refer to 'rev 3'
    1) if i've understood you correctly, then my photos orient fine.
    2) granted i don't use it very often, but i haven't noticed the problem with the shuffle function either - have done a quick test and it seems to work fine
    3) however, the play button isn't there when i tap the screen. this is probably one of those inexplicable changes.
    i suggest you work through the troubleshooting steps to see if you can get your photos to work properly. a restore may be required. http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/ipodtouch/index.html

  • HT203511 Is there a way for me to get all 2,000 photos from my iphone onto the photos app on my macbook without having to delete anything? Currently it is only uploading the last 30 days.

    I have had my macbook for a few months, but have not really taken full advantage of it. I am trying to get my phone to communicate with my computer so my photos will be in two locations. I just set up the photos app on my computer, but it will only upload the last 30 days.

    Have you considered using iCloud Photo Library instead of Photo Stream? See iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support
    The following quote from that link has instructions on how to turn it on:
    If you want to turn on iCloud Photo Library on all of your devices, follow these steps:
    In iOS 8.3 or later, go to Settings > iCloud > Photos, then turn on iCloud Photo Library.
    In OS X 10.10.3 or later, go to System Preferences > iCloud > Options next to Photos, then select iCloud Photo Library.

  • IOS 5 Photos.app bug?

    I've been actively using the share button in photos.app to post pictures to Twitter for months now. I occasionally crop my pictures before tweeting them, and today I finally realized what's happening after (rather embarrassingly) tweeting a photo that included a combination for my locker at my school. Everytime I tweet a photo from the share button, any editing is removed and the original, unaltered photo is tweeted. I've searched a lot of forums and can't find anyone else that's experiencing this. I am running iOS 5.0.1 on an iPad 2, and am just looking to see if this is a problem for anyone else or if there's a way to avoid this, outside of taking a screenshot of the edited photo and tweeting that.

    I'm running iOS 6 on my ipad and when I upload cropped photos to EBay they revert back to the original. Any idea why?

  • IPhone -- launch the Photos app

    Is anyone familiar with how to launch the Photos app (or a more generalized app launching that I could use to do that)? I'm aware of the URL method to launch certain apps, but I don't know of a way to use this for Photos.
    I'm not trying to open a picker -- just close my app and open the photo library, like the bottm-left button does when you're in the Camera app.
    Thanks!

    I'm not sure that there is a legit way -- maybe it's a private API?
    I mean, it has to be possible -- Camera does it...
    Anyone?

  • IOS 8 - Photos app bug - "stuttering" effect on Year view

    Hi Folks,
    On the iPhone6 Plus 128GB with iOS8.1.3 (with 15000 photos inside several years go), I notice that when using the Photos native app in the “Year view” (yearly mosaic view), if I scroll up or down slightly fast, the scrolling that you get has a little “stuttering” or “jerking” effect, so the UI is not perfectly smooth in this view inside Photos native app.
    Have you noticed it in your own iPhone's with iOS8.1.3. and also having a huge size photo callery as I have (>10000 photos spread in several years)? (I think that is it very important, because if you have not a huge photo gallery, probably you will not see the “stuttering” or “jerking” effect that I am describing).
    I think this is a bug which impacts iOS User eXperience, which needs to be fixed.
    Thanks by your feedback!

    Hi Guys!
    Any experience to share with us, please?
    Thanks!

  • Aperture app for photos on iPhone instead of iPhoto app

    I recently got Aperture and have been converting iPhoto pictures over to Aperture.
    I have the iPhoto app (standard with the iPhone) with a few 100 pictures.
    I thought that I could add an App for Aperture to the iPhone for the pictures but cannot find it in the app store in iTunes.
    I have no problem continuing iPhoto as an app for the phone, but think it would be easier.
    So the question is : is there an iPhone app for Aperture that allows the viewing of the photos thru the iPhone as can be done by the iPhoto app ?
    I have the iPhone 3, ISO 4
    I am planning on getting the next generation iPhone (5 ?) if that is the issue then obviously I will wait and continue with iPhone.
    Greg

    The Photos app on the iPhone is not specific to iPhoto. It will also show photos from Aperture.
    Connect your iPhone to your computer and open iTunes and select it from the Devices list. Then click the Photos tab at the top. There's a popup menu "Sync photos from". This is where you decide whether you want photos from iPhoto or Aperture on your iPhone. Don't forget to sync if you change the setting.
    Using this automatic syncing you can only have it sync to one application at a time. However, if you want photos from both, you can instead choose to sync from a folder using the same popup menu. Just export the photos you want on your phone from both iPhoto and Aperture into this folder. The upside is you have complete control over what gets synced. The downside is it is a totally manual process.

  • Photos App Showing Duplicates

    I’m seeing duplicate photos in IOS 8 on my iPhone 5S.  I’ve run Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto on my Mac and made sure no dups are present.  I sync from iTunes on my Mac running Mavericks for the last year of events from iPhoto.  I’m seeing duplicates on my iPhone in the Photos app under Collections for only the photos that are present in the Recently Added album.  Is this normal or is there a way to not show the duplicates?

    anyone?
    by the way, after some restoring, the duplicates are at least gone. Now the problem is simply that recent photos are showing up in months past, and in several past events on my iphone. This is in the photos app as well as iphoto. In iPhoto, I can check the info of one of those photos and it shows a....June date for example... but it shows up in the photo order back in february or march.
    If anyone has any thoughts on this it all it would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • Cannot sync photos / Folders disappeared from Photos app after 3.1 update

    Ever since I installed 3.1 on my iPhone, in my photos app, the Wallpaper folder and another folder I put on the iPhone via sync have disappeared. The wallpapers are still all there as I can choose one as a wallpaper from the Settings, but I cannot access them anymore via Photos. My other folder has simply disappeared.
    Now I was trying to put the folder and another one back on the iPhone, and the iPhone keeps giving me the error that there isn't enough space on the iPhone. I have 223MB available according to iTunes and the folders together are under 3MB. How is this possible? Has anyone experienced the same problem / does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks.

    myy folders has been deleted too . i have no idea how to fix this problem buht its very annoyinq . i need to fix this asap because syncinq was never a problem and now iht is =(

  • IPhone 5 two bugs in photo app.

    Sorry, don't know where to submit bug reports... hope this place is okay.
    Bug #1 - photos are not properly fit to screen.  To see this, take a screenshot of the home screen, or, say, of your favorite video game on the iPhone 5.  Now, look at that photo in the photo app, and double-tap it as needed to "fit" that photo to the screen.  You'll notice black space at the bottom of the photo, and the top part of the photo is off-screen.  So, if you took a screenshot of the home screen, the "menu bar" (or whatever it's called) will be off-screen.
    Bug #2 - the "cancel" button that comes up in the delete menu doesn't work.  Try to delete a photo, then hit the cancel button.  You'll see the button is only barely functional - only the top sliver of the cancel button seems to accept input.

    #1 was in reference to screenshots, not camera photos.  Screenshots should obviously be the same aspect ratio as the screen.  In any event, fitting a photo to screen (even if it has a different aspect ratio) should not cause part of the photo to go off-screen.  I'm not talking about "letterboxing" here... the black space in question is ONLY on the bottom of the photo, not the top - the top part instead goes off-screen.  That is definitely a bug, and I have verfied that I don't get that bug in on my old iPhone4 (updated to iOS6.)  I don't have a 4S so I can't test it on that.
    I have also verfied that bug #2 does not happen on my iPhone4.
