I have had my Inspire since the end of Feb and haven't had any real issues with it. Camera has been working great and I love snapping photos that I can share on FB so easily...I went to that the other day and found my camera is stuck on the Posterize mode eventhough my settings are at "normal".
I tried installing a different camera app (using default app) and got the same result
Any suggestions? I have tried a soft-reboot to no avial. Do I need to wipe the whole phone and do a reset to factory settings?
Have you dropped your phone recently, or at all? If so, all you have to do is press the camera lens back into place. Mine was similar to this, and after pressing the lens back in, the picture quality was back to normal.
If pressing the lens DOESN'T work, go to:
settings > applications > Camera > force stop & clear data
That should also help. Hope this works for you
Hey everyone.
I just bought my desire S and i am having an issue with the camera.
every time i open up the camera app, the screen focuses with a square in the middle and makes that focus sound then beeps like it does when it is ready to take a photo, then the screen goes black and repeats the focus part...
I dont have to even touch anything for this to happen.
I have tried powering the phone off and back on, and also clear data from applications menu but it still has this problem.
Anyone else have these issues? or similar

This has happened to me but just once, The phone seemed to be auto taking pictures without me pressing anything, making the noises etc.. although when I later looked on the SD card none appeared to have been taken and when I pressed the button it did take the picture that I wanted.
I'm afraid that I can't quite remember what I did to stop it, I believe that I toggled the auto focus settings.
all fixed now!
I had to toggle the auto focus setting.
Thanks for the tip!
Hey, does anyone else find that the camera on the P9 takes a good 5 or so seconds from clicking the app to it actually displaying the image(this happens randomly but not always)? I find it stays black for a few seconds before it finally displays what the camera sees. Every other app is quick to open though ?

I get this. I wondered if it started when I set the default storage location to SD card.
But, as you say, sometimes it is very quick.

Don't use Snapchat I'm afraid.
I have tested swapping the "priority to SD" flag but it is still inconsistent.
it seems that the problem fixed after disabled (priority to SD) and then take any picture. (so when open camera will load latest photo from internal storage not SD) .
I have this issue too. If the camera is still in the recent app cache it will open instantly. If I close it out and leave it about 5 minutes it can take at least 5 seconds before I can see the on screen image and take a photo...
I don't have the priority SD card switched on. I'm on the UK Vodafone SKU
Any ideas?
the problem is still exist after disabled the priority to sd . (it was ok for one day after disabled priority to sd but the problem back again yesterday) so it's not related to sd card . and it's really annoying when you want to take a picture you will miss it because of slow opening that happens randomly .
I tried the camera in safe mode and it seemed to work fine. Could be a third party app that is trying to launch at the same time.
I'll try investigate further.

ok . please keep us updated
So. Definitely looks to be a software issue. Either at the system level or third party apps. Most likely the latter.
I downloaded Open Camera and had the same inconsistent opening times. After I removed it from recents and opened a few other apps, Open Camera took around 3-5 seconds to be ready to take a shot.
Not sure which app is influencing it so much. So time to start disabling things and testing further. Joy.....
Hey hamud. What software version and SKU are you using?

it seems that not everyone has this problem ? what do you think?
How fast does camera open from locked phone if you use the power button and volume down button with to take a photo as soon as it opens?
It tells you speed on screen, maybe we can compare this too? I am getting 1.1 to 1.5 seconds.

you mean double tap the volume down while phone is locked ?
Sorry yes double tap, I always forget how to it and takes me longer than the actual camera to open and shoot.
I just came from Windows phones and am used to having dedicated camera button so am still adjusting.
The ultra snapshot took 1.7 seconds. But immediately after that the camera app was frozen for about 5 seconds before the screen showed live what the lens was seeing and let me take another shot. Really frustrating.
for me it took 1.0 , 1.7 and 2.4. I think the problem with huawei firmware. can you share your software version ?
EVAL09
C02B133
I tired removing well known resource heavy apps. Facebook, Twitter etc but no change. I removed AL3 as my launcher and went back to stock. Seemed to improve slightly but still get the 5-7 second freeze every now and again.
so it's not related to my model eval19 . so Huawei must know about this problem to solve it in new update . but I don't know how ?
Hi all,
I recently got a new phone for my wife which seems to have an issue indexing photos either edited or just taken in the gallery. Sometimes when taking a photo, the image can be seen in the gallery preview of the camera app, but when you click on it, an older photo is shown. Going to the gallery directly, the image just taken can't be seen and may not be for several hours. Other times the images appear in the gallery immediately.
My assumption is the media scanner process is getting killed by the O/S often and isn't picking up new media immediately. I have tried media scanner apps in the Play store, but these don't resolve the situation. I also have set "Media Storage" and "Gallery" apps to ignore battery optimisations to see if that helps, but that hasn't had any affect. The phone has Nougat (not sure which version right now) and an SD card which has been formatted as internal memory.
Is there a way to either get the media scanner to run more frequently or stop the service being killed (if that is indeed the problem)?
Thanks all.
I have a few applications, one of them i usually use CamScanner. Of course, there is Office Lens, Google drive Scan, but something happened recently: i can no longer scan documents. The app openes with the camera, but when i press the photo button to take a picture, the app freezes for a few seconds then allows me to press again. (this happenes in CamScanner)
Office lens allows me to push but there is no picture taken to be scanned.
Google drive freezes as well for 1-2 seconds.
At first i thought: ok, i might have installed something, since the phone was rooted, TWRP installed (camera working!! i can take normal pictures), and messed up with the camera. Took the fastboot route and cleaned the rom again with a script, reinstalled the OS, all partitions (no exceptions), Data partition formated (backed up!): same thing. Installed both apps, none take pictures. This worked a few days ago, nothing much changed in between ( i might be subjective ). But on a clear phone?
I need to know what's going on...
Oh, something to add: for about 1-2 weeks, i have been having some strange movement on the screen with the gboard, appearing and re-appearing when i was trying to type, like some pixel was pressing on the screen on the right side, down. Some pixel on the touch screen pressing continuously? I dunno, nothing else is affected, i can write, take pictures and so on...
Right now it's not manifesting on the clean install...
That sounds strange. I am using mobile doc scanner from STOIK Soft without any problems (rooted, magisk, xposed). It also gives you the option to load existing images on your phone to load and edit.
Maybe try this and see if it works.
Tried the app, only works with the system camera, and not the camera from the app. I don't understand what's going on....
CamScanner works as well with system camera, but not the embedded one.
Grrr.r...
Are the problem solve? .. I have same problem here after upgrade to pie.. If I downgrade to oreo no problem to use scanner application.. I'm using avenger edition anyway..
