Hi
Anyone having an issue with the stock flashlight app on the new Lollipop 5.0 not turning on
As a person working in IT and with crappy eye sight, this app really is a must for me.
A reboot of the phone will fix it, but by then the need for the light will normally have passed as I'll just ask someone around me for help
Found this was happening on the preview l as well, thought it they have sorted it in the finished release.
Cheers
Paul
What's wrong with the flashlight?
You don't really say the issue you have. but the flashlight works fine for me

Im asking to see if the light does in fact work. If the light doesn't work with the camera either, then your light may be broken
The issue is intermittent and a quick reboot always fixes the issue. I must check the next time it goes, if the camera is broke as well

I have no idea what could cause that. My flashlight comes on every time I toggle it. Tesla LED (I think that's the name of it) is a good flashlight app in the Play Store if you want to try a third party app and see if it works better for you
Yup. I posted about this. When it refuses to work try open the camera app. It'll say cannot connect to camera

Most likely its a camera issue then. The flash LED and the camera software are connected.
Only rebooting fixes it that I've found so far. Seems to happen after using the flashlight for a long time

From what Ben36 is saying, it seems to be caused my leaving the flashlight on for a long period of time. So I would say it's a bug in the system that Google needs to fix. Try other apps like the one I mentioned and see if you get the same issue.

Cool, thanks will do
Had a similar issue today, flashlight turned off for no reason, then refused to turn back on until i restarted the phone.
never happened to me before until today and the only difference was that the phone was charging now.
I can say I am also having this issue and hopefully a fix is on the way unless cm does it first...

Anyone getting strange vertical blurred lines when recording snapchat video? It only occurs in low light settings. When I record video from my camera app these lines do not appear. It is pretty annoying.
Did you figure out a fix by any chance? Mine does the same thing on the same phone.
Also having the same issue.
Big blur line from top to bottom, in the middle of the screen.
Also visible in the recorded video :/
** just installed the latest snapchat there, 4.1.05 and no longer have this issue
** spoke too soon, still having this issue !
Same here :/ any fix?

Oh wait you are Correct about the light thing.
If i point the camera to a bright light the bars go away, then if i move it then come back.
interesting....

i just flashd the Stock Google Play Edition ROM that was posted in the Development forum to my Moto G.
And i no longer get vertical lines while recoding
So i'm guessing its maybe an issue with the Motorola Camera and Snapchat,
seeing as the GPE Moto G uses the google/android Camera.
FIX!!!!
For anyone still having this problem, opt for beta testing in the settings. One of the fixes in the beta version is for the Moto G's video. Working perfect for me now! :good:

Haha found it!
I had the same problem, then downloaded snapchat beta to see what it was like and its in the patch notes, its fine now for me
I suppose this has already been discussed but I still need an answer.
When I receive a notification, like SMS, sometimes the LED lights up and behaves as it should, and other times it simply doesn't blink. This seems to be random... Is there any way to fix this?
Also, is this a software issue, or hardware issue that needs RMA?
Thanks.

I've had a similar issue with using the custom stock notification, but I switched over to Light Flow and you you can choose your color led notification and it works fine you try it out.

Generally I've found it to be software related. Which custom ROM are you on? Could you possible test on another to see if the problem persists?

My Nexus is completely stock, and unrooted... The problem hasn't happened in the last couple of days but I'm concerned it will return...
The LED itself functions well, but sometimes it just isn't triggered by notifications as it should.

Every once in awhile something similar happens to mine. If I power the screen on and off without actually unlocking the phone, the LED begins flashing normally as it should. Not sure if sometimes it just doesn't get triggered.

I thought mine had a similar problem initially on stock, but I think it was just me being picky ..... I'm running the CM11 nightlies now and it's working fine... Generally though the light will only turn on for notifications when the screen is off... Perhaps that's what you're noticing...

Not just for SMS. You see, right now I received an email through the Gmail app and the LED blinked once and stopped. And I turned the screen on and off and then it blinked once again and stopped. Really weird!
But now I got a text message and it's working fine. It's really random!

That sounds pretty similar to what mine was doing. I don't think lightflow even helped too much... I would recommend CM11.... It has customization for the notification light built in and it all seems to work very well.

Actually, that wasn't very helpful. I found it on my own nonetheless.
I wonder how this kind of bug has gone unnoticed or unfixed for so long.
I will try to use another ROM and then report back. I suppose this is a KitKat bug.

Hi all
Just got my 2nd nexus 5, first one went back for touch screen issues. Got 2nd one and this has problem too.
If someone sends me a text the pulse notification light pulses once and that's it. No repeat. However after that if someone sends me a text it works as it should, ie repeats every 10 seconds.
Seems very random as to when it works properly. Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks all
Chris

Yes, people have this problem on stock rom.. It appears randomly though and not as often as you're getting. A restart fixes it... Are you using Light Flow or any app to control the LED??
No will light flow solve this?

May be, May be not. Even light flow has some random problems with LED notifications... For some people it works flawlessly, for some it doesn't... Only way is to try it out...

Trying it now seems to work ok. Strange that my last nexus didn't suffer this problem. Wounder if Google are aware of this issue?
Also on a side note not sure if it's related but I'm sure my first nexus 5 did a software update when I first took it out of the box, my new one did not do that.

Yes, I think they are aware of it... I remember reading it somewhere around XDA about it.. Can't find a link to it though.. I guess we will just have to wait for the update and see... FYI, a reboot fixes the issue temporarily..
It didn't update because the ones which were manufactured in January came with 4.4.2 Out of the box which is the latest update!

Thanks for your reply mate, for me when I reboot the first message does not work, then they seem ok after that, that's just for sms, I get no notifications at all with whatsapp etc, however light flow seems to work ok at moment but would be nice if Google did a fix.
Hi to everyone. I have a issue: when I switch to wide angle or front camera it takes 3 secons before switching, and in video mode when I switch to wide angle it freeze the app, and when I click the super stabilization icon it freeze also. After a reboot I don't have these issues, but after a while it come back.
Someone with the same bugs? I hope that can be all fix with a software update.
Cheers
Everything fine here. It takes about <1sec to change cameras. If I keep changing them very quickly after 5/6 times it freezes for a little bit
Could you try gcam: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1343/ and see if you have the same problem?

Hello. I have problems with the camera with both stability and autofocus. I reset the system 2 times and finally understood the problem. If 1080 60p video is selected, the camera works poorly in af and stability. The problem also does it with Gcam. 60p must be disabled. In both video and pro mode 60p must be disabled. restart the app.
I'm "glad" that I'm not the only one with this issues.
Hopefully it will be fixed soon, because it affects face unlock also :/

I have the exactly same problems that you have.
For 24hrs camera worked fine. Then suddenly all the bugs mentioned above returns. Now I tried to disable face unlock, maybe somehow it affects camera app. I'll update you.
Hi to all! I have an important update for the camera bug.
I tried to deactivate the face unlock and reboot, and now almost 1 week with no problems mentioned on my thread! So it's seems that face unlock is the problem. Try for yourself

Hello guys, I recently got my new Oneplus 8T, and, whilst the device is amazing from what I could use it, it has an annoying flaw that I couldn´t find any information of.
When I press a whatsapp, telegram, etc notification, there´s a bit of delay inbetween the press and the start of the app opening. The phone does it the majority of times, as you can see in the video below (at the 10 second mark it opens it right):
Do you have an idea on what could be causing this? Does any of you have the same issue I do? I tried turning off everything related to battery saving, even factory reseting. Any help is much appreciated, thank you in advance!

I've come across some people with this specific flaw, I contacted Oneplus and they told me to factory reset the phone and if that didn't help (which did not, since I've gone wayy further with it, installing HydrogenOS and older versions of OxygenOS and didn't solve the issue), it "might" be a software issue and it "might" be solved in the next software update.
For how much have you been with the phone?
What is bugging me is that this problem is too specific for it to be a hardware issue.

Yes, I still have my Oneplus 7 Pro and it works flawlessly. I think I found something crucial.
The problem lays whitin the "Notifications" apartment. I'll explain myself.
As you can see in this new video I recorded
that weird delay shows when I open a notification coming from the tab "Notifications". BUT, when I open the SAME APP (Play Store) from a notification coming from "Other notifications" there's no delay at all, the phone works flawlessly, see how I press to see how my download is going, there's no lag. It would be wonderful if you could try it yourself, and see if that's the case on you unit too.
Taking this into account, I'm almost 100% sure this is a software related problem, and has nothing to do with hardware, probably a bug.
I'll report it to the bug reporting section of Oneplus and see if they can work on it.

The latest OTA kinda did something for me. I get the delay 5 out of 10 times I press a notification. Used to be 9 out of 10 times lol. It's not completely fixed but it's an improvement. What I did was send a bug report to the Oneplus bug reporting site and they said that they will be working on it.
