This phone is brand new and the camera app is blacked out. When I select the camera app the screen is black out but you still see all the buttons on screen. The just don't do anything. Has anybody experienced this or know of a way to fix it?
Clear data of the camera through settings, apps, camera.

My nieces camera did this the other night! Man I am so fed up from getting the crap phones from CBW!
I had the same issue,also with to stock app. I installed instagram and it told me the camera couldn't be detected. I contacted my seller in Germany and they gave me a free hardware replacement(motherboard+battery)

i tried to flash a few different roms to see if it was hardware related but no dce. i called tmobile and they are sending me a new one. im selling it as soon as i get the new one back. i keep hearing about all these problems with the one s. going back to the galaxies. plus my hands are too big for this lil thing.
I would really like to know if this is a common issue and if it is if it is fixed with a replacement. Can anyone who has had this issue verify this please?

Did this fix your issue?
Its a "common" HTC problem. 2 of my friends also experienced this with a 2011 and 2010 smartphone. After some time it worked by itself. I also had this for 1-2 weeks and it worked after i cleared camera cache or rebooted (it still occured but after some weeks it was gone completly). If you want clear your system cache in CWM or install a new ROM.
So usually on a work day, my phone will sit in my car for 13 hours without being touched. By the end of the day when I go to bed, I'll be around 80% to 83% battery.
Today I noticed a couple hours after I got hoe that I was at 31%. For the record, this is a Maxx. I have two different wakelock detectors installed on my phone but I can't find anything that indicates what went haywire today. The Battery section in Settings just says it was "Android OS".
Here are some screenshots of the screens. Do any of you see anything I'm not? I have no idea what the culprit was.
Could point to poor cell service reception but it sounds like the phone was in the same place as other days.

Maybe you could try airplane mode if you notice it happening again ?

I know there are other threads but you have to read 40 Verizon bashing posts to actually find a post that's relevant to actual issues. I'm completely stock and not a fan of the update. Here are my issues :
Lag, lag, lag.... Huge Ram hog. It uses almost all the ram with only my texts open.
Random flashes from the camera's flash. No rhyme or reason.
Phone doesn't make call when picking up in a text.
Widgets on lock screen (texts) locks up when you click on them.
Anyone else having issues? Anything I need to look out for? Any fixes?

You can have posted this question in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2575661
And someone would answer you.
As for the camera flash, look in your settings. I remember seeing it in the phone settings somewhere that that you can turn camera flash on for notifications.

One more thing that sucks... Battery. Less than an hour screen time and no videos, music, or games.

Ok so I was trying to play a game that requires me touch the screen in two different areas at the same time but when I hit the second touch the first touch kind of de-registers. It's happening on the left side of my display.
I used an app from the play store also. Multi Touch Test.
Any body else noticed any issues?

I used antutu and was able to get it to show all 10 fingers at the same time for me. Try giving your screen a good wipe down and clean.
Yeah I've wiped down already. It does register all touches but as soon as I move my fingers around the touches go all crazy.
I've tried multi touch tester app on play store and mine registers all my fingers from 1 to 10 and no issues including moving around. Sounds like you might have a bad phone.

I have the same issue how to fix it please ?
This thread is not to be in anyways to flame or downgrade the Essential's dual camera/portrait mode! I am simply just posting so others can have something to tinker with in low lighting! Essential's portrait mode is amazing in great outdoor lighting, but indoor lighting it suffers bad due to compression issue and color algorithm. If you pay attention, indoor pictures including portraits taken when lighting is at soft white, ~2700K to 3200K or so, the pictures turn out very washed out. There are no saturation to the picture at all, or sharpness of details and it just looks bad.
Arnova8G2 has been porting the BSG version of the google cam and it is AMAZING for non-google devices, including ours, however his version somehow does gives a greenish tint to our devices since he original was working on the port only for the OP3/3T. Now, he has combined Charle Chow's Camera NX portrait mode to his app here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75047190&postcount=2270 .
Please report all bugs or any errors, and color issues related to our devices here and tag him so he will know. Thanks again @Arnova8G2
Edit: NEEDS TO BE ON OREO BETA 1 OR 2!!
New version uploaded by Arnova8G2: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1hvonKrb7hUqhqll4Qbglc9epdvanzFKW . Front camera works flawlessly, however we lose all sounds when taking pictures regardless front or back camera. Can anyone upload a logcat here? I can't get matlab to send my logs, kept crashing no matter what I do.
FIX FOR SOUND LOSS! Thank you to radaloel: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75062638&postcount=31
What hdr settings are you using?
On 7.1.1, most of the settings are crashing the app.

Messing with the settings and it seems that "Config camera HDR+" has to be set to "No HDR+" or the video recorder does not work.

Can you see if you can replicate this bug? Take a picture in hdr+ on, using the 6P setting, normal or portrait mode. You should lose sound immediately. If you still have sounds, use fb messenger, trigger the voice message function and send your friend a voice message. Now you should lose all sounds and requires a restart. I don't know if this is a bug caused by the ported app or in oreo beta.

And I just rebooted and got sound back then tried using voice command in regular messaging app so it looks like it might be something to do with voice recording or the messenger app itself. Not a deal breaker for me cause I don't ever use messenger voice messaging.

Fb messenger has no issue if you do not activate gcam. It works fine by itself. At first I thought it would be my pixel 2 launcher I installed that is crashing all sounds but it's not because it works fine in Nougat.
I have the freezing issue too when I restart. It just goes to a black screen. Did you take a logcat of all that scenario?

I would like to help, but I am not your device and your rom.
So even if you tell me the sound does not go or I have a black screen, it's impossible for me to correct if I do not know where the error is

This has been a known issue on PH-1 for any GCam port I've tried. I had been using a BSG port from back in November, dealing with loss of sound intermittently after using the app. Fear not!
As far as I can tell, the mic does not stop working. You need to turn off all notifications for the Gcam app. Just turn 'em all off. The whole app. Reboot to be safe once you have. Fixed my issues right up. No guarantee using camcorder will not cause sounds to stop though, I haven't tested it. I don't take many videos.
Also, I'm using @Arnova8G2 Front HDR+ version posted here. I'm using these settings with great results (actually the same as I what I posted in the other thread forever ago! Glad it still works.)

I can confirm this DOES NOT work in oreo beta 2. When I was on Nougat in Essential, all the BSG version I used worked when trigger the microphone, ie.. facebook messenger or recording video. It did not work at all in oreo since beta 1. Arnova8g2 version never worked at all either! I used the same configs I used in Nougat as well. Turning off notifications allows sounds but stopped as soon as you trigger microphone. Then when you hit restart, the phone freeze and you have to do a hard restart by holding the power button down.
Even on that version when I use HDR+ and switch to video it causes the problem. I turned off HDR+ and tried again and the video still causes the sound issues so this is not a stable app just yet for our device imho hopefully the dev can iron the problems out for us to enjoy this great mod. I really like the selfie portrait was pretty sweet
