After about 5-7 seconds of recording in 720p I was getting recording failed problems every time. It wasn't doing that before or at least not very often until recently. So I decided to update the camera firmware. I go to the camera firmware update screen by dialing *#*#34971539#*#* I selected phone to CAM FW Write and I go to update the firmware to version 2.0.3 it downloads up to 225/253 pieces then stops and says the update is a success, then it tells me to reboot. I reboot the phone with the volume down and power button, and I find out the camera firmware isn't installed properly. Now under camera info it is displaying.

I don't remember exactly what it said before but I know it said something different. The rear facing camera is now messed up and displaying green. This is happening with all the different camera apps that I tried on the market. I also did a factory reset, cleared the cache and wiped the data. Still I'm getting the same problem. The camera info is displaying the same thing to so I know for a fact that the factory reset didn't reset everything. Maybe someone here who has the same phone can help me out by dialing *#*#34971539#*#* and going to "Phone/CAM FW Ver Check." Tell me what it says if you don't know how to directly fix the problem. If someone here does know how to fix the problem it would be helpful though. I'm rooted and I'm currently running stock Froyo 2.2.1 if that helps.
Once I figured out how to root and flash with the Infuse, I didn't waste much time at all staying on Froyo. However, I've had video recording issues that ended up being caused by the kernel. I suppose it's possible that it could be an issue with the Froyo Community Kernel (I'm guessing/assuming that's how you rooted). Any particular reason you'd not want to just back up your apps and upgrade to Gingerbread?

I'm rooted and on gingerbread 2.3.6 now actually. It didn't fix the camera, but I'm able to go into the camera firmware settings and it's now showing

Every time I try to flash the firmware now it says "firmware update failed try again." I read somewhere that you have to remove the camera before doing a camera firmware update. I opened the phone up and it doesn't look like the camera can easily be removed and put back in.

I hate to keep harping on the same thing, but I'm not so sure it's a camera firmware issue, and you may be making a mountain out of a mole hill. If you happened to upgrade with Heimdall, and you're not already running one of them, it may be worth trying one of the kernels in this post, for ****s and giggles:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23118144&postcount=2
I've never had any issue with the camera, aside from what was caused by a kernel, so aside from that advice, I've nothing else to offer. Good luck.
Running the latest build (21.12.13) for Xperia Z and update every day.
For the past 2 days now, the stock camera app crashes when I try to switch to video. Just goes black before the viewfinder changes.
Have been updating over open delta, but tried full wipe and fresh flash. Still not functional.
Would be interesting to know of anyone else has experienced this
Update
Did new download of official Dec 22nd Rom (not using Open Delta to rule that out), and fresh download of PA Gapps.
Did full wipe and installed cleanly.
Still the same problem...
Am I really the only one getting this?

Video switch just worked fine on a Note 2 (toltetmo) but I did have the camera freeze up last night, just taking a picture. It got to where is said it couldnt connect to the camera, in stock and another app. Had to reboot to get it back.
Same

Same problem here. N7100 ROM OMNIROM Android 4.4.2 KitKat
At this point, I've just started using Camera MX.
Reasonably familiar interface, and it works quite well with the Xperia Z's camera.
For anyone having these issues, I'd recommend this as it's free, and fully featured (without being too cluttered).
My problem is after installation of 4.2 rom i lost my radio, but only in kitkat.The original kitkat tmobile rom seems to fix that, but then again any other rom is with broken radio. CM11 is ok, but if im not wrong the cm radio is being written on different partition, than the kitkats one.Tried KK_baseband_801.zip and LG801_20A_RADIO.zip.Neither of them fixes the issue.A can live with CM11 but i am really sorry i cant have access to the UHD camera.So i guess you guys are going to tell me to downgrade .Probably that will fix it but i`ve to install Windows 7 again so im not in a hurry.I can try it in virtual box but didn't had success before that and had to temporarily install windows.Ultimately id like to interchange betwen cm11 and lightning v2 rom with the slow motion camera and the other extras.Its just too much bloatware with the tmobile version plus its checking to see if you have tethering plan, which is incompatible with unlimited data.
Thanks
Installed stock after all, since the baseband issue still exist if put something else, but i used smileys ROM then installed "autorec xda" which is capable off flashing twrp in case you need CM.The UHD cam is cool to play with , although i wish to be possible to manual focusing during video recording instead this useless thing to take a picture.What do you think.

I agree on your comment. This should have been considered before the device got manufactured..
I am not able to understand these white/blue spots across the images. Please see the attached images and zoom in to look in the highlighted areas. It's not dust for sure as I have cleaned the lens and the photos were shot in auto mode (no change in ISO etc). IS there an issue with Nougat beta camera or is my sensor damaged?:crying:
What variant you have (L09 or L04) and which firmware you're running (B1..)?!
I am sorry for hijacking this forum, but I have an Honor V8 variant (the big sized version) with EMUI 5.0. beta. There is no xda forum on this model, hence I posted here. I am not sure if the s/w is the issue as I tried it with other camera apps as well producing the same issue
try a 3rd party camera to see if it is still there, if so try reflash stock rom.
If 3rd party apps don't work, then look if there's an update for your phone
I am on latest nougat beta (b355) for V8. I dont think its a camera issue as other camera apps give the same result. Before I reflash the stock rom, I need to know if this could be a hardware/sensor issue?

yes it is probably a hardware issue, but you will have to flash stock to completely rule out a software issue. back up data using twrp

Its a 50 50 situation, some early buyers of honor 8 had the same issue, but after an OTA it's gone.
If it's a hardware issue, return it back if you have warranty.
A friend of mine had the same issue but it was fixed after the update.

Do you mean those spots on zooming in? I have been through 2 beta-Nougat updates, but its not yet resolved. I will factory reset over this weekend and check.

Did you experience this problem when you were using the original version of android that came preinstalled on your device? If you did then it's probably a hardware problem. Which can only be fixed by the manufacturer.
Ok, before I factory reset, I just realized that RAW format is completely fine. However the same jpegs are showing these dead pixels (or bright spots). Is this something s/w related or hardware? Are the raw images processed by s/w or sensor & s/w?

It's a software issue, don't worry.
If RAW images are fines, then it's just a problem of processing when taking a JPEG photo
An update should fix this

Some images rendered perfect while images taken in bright light show these spots/pixels. I did check my initial pics and most of them turn out to be fine. Also, as I mentioned in my later post, the Raw formats are good, but their jpegs are with these spots.
@CronaMell, thanks. I will still reset and update here. It will be an expensive affair to send this device back to China from India. It's better I sell it off here.

It's better for you, and when you buy a device make sure it's officially supported in your country (like honor 8) .
All the best

I'd contact Honor directly and ask them about the problem. Maybe they will release a software patch for it. But I have never heard the Honor 8 had this problem.
I just did a factory reset. The issue persists. Is there a way I could downgrade to EMUI 4.1 rom? I am on Nougat beta and that could be still an issue which I need to exclude. Factory reset keeps the same version of the ROM, I need to downgrade to EMUI 4.1 (Marshmallow) and check.
Also, I suspect the raw images are not processed correctly. Is there a way to change any library associated with image processing? I am able to process raw files on my computer without any issues. I am not rooted, but willing to take that step if it solves this issue.

Unfortunately, we don't know the exact files (libs that are responsible for image processing)

You would have to contact Honor directly for instructions on how to restore Marshmallow back onto your device. They will also be able to provide you with a link to the Marshmallow firmware for your device.
After OnePlus 7 Pro release, I had installed the stock camera from APK Mirror. Later upon experimenting with it found that under pro mode even with 5 seconds shutter speed I was unable to capture Long exposure photos like I used to. Reverted to Stock 3.0.16 it works, on v3.2.99 its just saves the first frame. Is anyone else having the same issue. I had cleared cache and storage post installation of the new camera and still get the same results.
Try the new 3.3.8, and if it doesn't work then go back to 3.0.16, cuz i think those apk arent really made for the op6 or maybe it'a a firmware problem that needs to be updated( each apk comes with a specific firmware in the update i guess and sometimes there is no need for a new firmware update )

Thanks, I had checked the new version as suggested, guess it doesnt work. May be will wait for OP to roll out new updates, hopefully with Q
