Just in case this will help anyone else - i figured out the issue. I was snapping a picture and then restarting the preview right away. With the slower phones (G1) this was ok but with newer phones that are faster this won't work. I moved the preview to start inside the jpegcallback and after the picture was stored and it works fine now.
