Apernicious bughas strike some Pixel 3 equipment , allow smartphone lensman missing many of the picture they take . PerAndroid Police , a fix for Google ’s in style smartphone is on the way .
While we found photos take away with the Pixel 3 to be mighty likable , we have also been rosy enough to not run into a bug that hasleft many rumble on societal media . Periodically , picture submit with the phone simply wo n’t deliver for some users .
The result appear to occur when the Pixel 3 ’s camera app shut down straightaway after a photo is taken — not having time to save the picture before close . This could be due to a shortage of RAM . The Pixel 3 has just 4 GB of RAM , while many other flagship ( re : $ 800 ) Android phones have 6 GB or more .

In Android , software shutting down suddenly is a common meter reading of a RAM shortage or a failure of the phone ’s OS to superintend retention appropriately , which is why many other Android phone have run into the issue , including all the early Pixels , the Nexus 5x , and a broad variety of budget devices .
accord to Android Police , Google says a fix will be vagabond out to the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL , as well as earlier Pixel devices , which also appear to have been affected ( though without a similar online furor ) . It is not readable if this jam will dissemble all Android equipment , or just the Pixel line — we’ve reached out to Google for clarification .
“ We will be rolling out a software update in the coming weeks to address the uncommon case of a photo not the right way saving , ” Google reportedly said .
In the meanwhile , if you find yourself with a camera app that unexpectedly quits after a photo is taken , it might be a good idea to manually close up other applications programme open on the machine . Android is usually good about doing that itself , but clearly this is n’t always the case . Most phones should have a late software button ( check the manufacturer website for your specific machine ) that show all software currently open . From there , you could promptly shut any apps you do n’t contrive on using , forcibly making more memory usable to the camera app .
It ’s not ideal , but it ’s a reasonable solution until Google fixes things .
