If I have my phone unlocked in portrait mode and try to open the camera app, it immediately force closes. Turn the phone to landscape and it opens right up. If I open the camera in landscape mode, then turn the phone to portrait mode, if force closes.
Persistent across reboots.
Forced stop and cleared data, still the same issue.
Any one else have this?
EDIT:
Here is the solution in case anyone comes across this thread:
Having the same damn issue! Can't exactly take pics if the camera force closes... I have tried just about everything and it still force closes JUST in portrait mode which leads me to believe it may have something to do with the motion gestures?
EDIT: I am pretty sure that you have the LastPass app installed?? This is what is causing the problem... Follow this for a fix:
Thanks to @mentallo in this post, it's now fixed for me.
The problem was the new lastpass app integration. To fix it: -
Log into the Lastpass app
Open Preferences
Edit App Associations
Select Camera
Change it to 'Do not show fill window'

Perfect! Fixed for me as well. Last pass causing it explains why there aren't more people with the same issue.
Pretty sure HTC needs to do something about their camera app. Similar password apps Password Box and Dashlane also crash the camera app constantly when launching in portrait mode, usually from the icon. Works fine if landscape mode, launching from volume button shortcut.
For Password Box and Dashlane, the issue occurs because of their one-tap login method. It uses Accessibility Services under Android Settings. If you turn it off in Accessibility Services for the app (no more 1-tap login), issue goes away. I have contacted Password Box about the issue, they responded. HTC just told me to log the issue on their site, with no response.
To me this is bad for HTC as I was about to exchange my phone because I shouldn't have to deal with this type of issue. Stumbled across what was causing it by complete accident. Less tech savvy users may just return the phone and get something else, which isn't good for HTC at all.

I have searched here and the web for a method to change the lock screen camera app that 4.4 uses.
I initially selected the default 4.4 camera as the lock screen camera to use, and am now regretting that decision...
Has anyone figured out a non-rooted way to change which camera app the lock screen uses?
Can you go into settings, applications, find the camera app and select the remove defaults option? In theory that should allow it to prompt you next time.
If it doesn't work, then the camera app probably has deep integration with the lock screen (usually for security).

Already checked there. "No defaults set." is displayed in the 'LAUNCH BY DEFAULT' section.

I use Widgetlocker, not stock, but had the same issue. What I had to do was go Settings>Apps>Camera and clear defaults. Next time you swipe from the side it will ask which camera app you want to use.

The method described above works. I've tried this too. Unfortunately after clearing the defaults and trying again I could only choose between the stock app and Focal. I have about 5 more camera apps (was trying out which one I liked most) but none of them showed up as an option. It seems the maker of the camera app you want must use a specific api to make the camera available for the lock screen.
Happened after the gallery updated awhile back. Scrolling through the gallery it just freaks out, doesn't go smoothly at all. Bounce around and shakes. Made a video about it. Anyone else have the issue?http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/59722a6a49ae4/2017_07_21_12_00_31.mp4

this is software issue, test it with another gallery app
or if you use sdcard test it on another device (maybe it slow down the loading process)

Just got the July Security Update, T-Mobile Variant, and the updated gallery and it's as smooth as butter.

Are you using any bixby remapping app that uses gesture accessibility? If yes. Then that's it.
Gesture accessibility makes scrolling not smooth.
Try disable all your accessibility.

That is exactly what I'm using. So it's either remap bixby or have weird scrolling?
I think I'll kill the remap app
Very weird though, only happens in the gallery app. No other app.
Find bixby remap app that doesn't use perform gesture accessibility
Example "bixby remapper" the stable mode doesn't use it.
But will have delay/ bixby screen splashing for a second.

You can test by turn off all accessibilty first,
Then try scrolling again.. to confirm if it is the cause.
Just tested it. Definitely bxActions

in my case ,
i'm using bxActions , to remap Bixby and after reading above post ,i checked my
Gallery app ( scrolling etc ) and its smooth .No weird issues .
(I normally use the 3rd party Piktures app .)
Previously ,when i had scrolling issues etc .
i found that ( in my case) the culprit was Lux ( auto brightness app )
I uninstalled and all is well .

Tried performance mode. It still makes me enable an accessbility option. Still freaks out in the gallery
The culprit ( this is on comfort mode)
Never use any app that ask this accessibility permission..
You'll have stutter scrolling in some apps.
Nope I figured it out. Doesn't matter which mode I use. The second I turn on compatibility mode that says it works for the new update... That's when it bugs out.
Problem is, without compatibility mode bxActions doesn't work

So i guess you on T mobile or Sprint ?
I have a branded Vodafone.
Damn.. the stutter now isn't gone even after i uninstall bxaction ..

Whatever you do, don't enable it man.

Hi all,
Has anyone else noticed that their force touch on icons is not working? I cannot get the menu that asks if I want to delete or uninstall etc anymore. When I long press it does allow me to move the icons and if I force touch on a blank part of the screen it does go to display settings.
Thanks, Dhatw.
Same issue
It happened with my phone last night as well, it is very annoying and I cannot find the solution, please, any suggestions would be great. I guess we are not the only ones, suppose something has updated.
Same thing
It is after touchwiz home updae, perhaps for Snapdragon versions only.
---------- Post added at 09:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 AM ----------
Just found the solution, change all animations in developer options (all if them) to NOT TO BE OFF.
Temporary solution
So, I found a temporary solution to this issue with a little research. In my case, I had all animations turned off in developer mode, if you turn them back on, the menu appears. I have no idea what the issue is, probably touchwiz's latest update. Changing animation to 0.5x in developer options solved the issue for me.
Hi,
Push Notifications work if I'm actively using the phone, but if I turn the screen off for more than 5 or 10 minutes notifications for all apps permanently stop. If I turn WiFi off and on again, the notifications come. I haven't popped a Sim card in their yet so maybe that would help?
Anyone have thoughts on why notifications eventually stop? I'm nearly 100% certain I have every battery and app setting to notify setup properly. I'm almost ready to give up.
Thank you in advance for your help.
As a side note, I have Google play services installed.
I don't have notication issue but I saw someone does. Maybe reset the phone ?

If I reset I'll lose Google play services and have to figure out how to put it back on.
Right now I get all notifications the issue is not getting them if I turn the screen off regardless if always on display is on. I'll try to send what happens if I just use cell service not both, but that's not really a solution. Also, notifications work with the screen off for about 10 minutes. Any longer and notifications stop. I guess it goes to sleep and is being super restrictive.
If you reset your phone, you can put GM's back on. Just download the package and instructions.
I think your notification problems may be in your permission app settings may be. I had outlook notification problems and fixed it by checking app permission. Android 10 has very strict notification settings.

If I go to app permissions I see view all permissions. Then I see a long list of some permissions you can click on and it explains what it is, but there's no toggle on or off. I get notifications just not with the screen turned off for more than 10 minutes.
I think I may be getting closer to narrowing down the issue. It doesn't appear to be happening if WiFi is turned off. I believe I read someone else on the this board was having the same issue with WiFi turned on or it could have been another Huawei phone.

Go to settings, click on search and type in battery optimization, then click all apps, then click don't allow for each app you want notifications from. This solved my problem. I hope it solves yours.

Isn't that a bug in the platform? They can't seriously expect users to do this for all apps that they want notifications from? It's ridiculous.
