5.0 Camera FC - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
The camera for me keeps force closing when I try to open it :crying:. A reboot fixes it temporarily, but it reverts back after a while. It also prevents me using any app where the camera is used.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any way to fix it?
Thanks

You don't happen to be under volted

Nope! I havent changed any settings on the phone. Its getting quite irritating

Having the same problems with my nexus 5 on lollipop. " Can't Connect to Camera" keeps popping up. I've tried rebooting, clearing cache and data, but to no avail.. Any fix?

Do you use the torch?

I have sued it once as far as I remember. Have many others been having this problem?

[Q] Dailer Force closing

So, 60% of the time when I type a phone number into my dailer, by the third or fourth number my dailer will disappear and I'll be staring at my home screen. I didn't start experiencing this till I flashed Vahalla on my phone and I've experienced through ICBINB GB, Stock Froyo (for testing purposes), and now on airflips official AOSP GB rom.
Could it be my VCF card is corrupt? Has anyone experienced this problem and fixed it?
Clear the cache on the Dialer, make sure you back up your contacts first. if that doesn't work you might have to do a factory reset on the phone. I have had similar issues before.
I get it occasionally, I have to lock and unlock my phone to get it to stop. I'm assuming its a error in the apk itself.
Are you Using a custom dialer in all cases? Or just in the custom roms?

I was having this issue for the last few days (probably) and didn't notice until yesterday. Fixing permissions fixed the issue.
Does the issue come back for y'all, because I've done that and it will come back at some point in the near future after the wipe and perm fix. If it keeps happening, after the third consecutive time I just let it sit for 10 seconds and type out the number and it will work. That's why I think it has something to do with loading my contacts up from the file.
Are there alternative dialer applications to use that would fix this problem that anyone has used and recommends? I'm at my wits end with this problem.
It may be an issue with the build.prop. Try backing it up and pushing the stock build.prop. I had a similar issue with the phone hanging, and it was my build.prop

i would wipe the dialer data in the settings-application-manage menu. then fix permissions.

"Camera error: camera cannot initialize"

Hey guys
I'm having a problem with the camera of my moto g. Everytime I open the camera and shut it down, but then open it again, it isnt working anymore. There's a black screen with a popup saying 'Camera error: camera cannot initialize'
I can hear the camera 'cracking' when its launching our shutting down. When I wait 4 seconds till it is shut down it works again but otherwise not. When I install stock rom from scratch problem is gone, but now I rooted (stock kitkat) with faux kernel OC and the problem came back!
Are there other people experiencing the same problem? Is there a fix possible?
Thanks in advance

I had the same issue. Did all suggested in various forums on cache and all.
What worked for me is that I installed a 3rd party app, Camera Zoom Fx. This works fine but additionally the in-built camera app also started working fine. Its been a couple of days now.
Hi Guys,
It seems that Skype is locking the camera. Remove app cache and data, remove app and reboot the phone.
Cheers

I also experienced the same problem. via instagram, I also can't connect to camera. I dont know if it had been due to Skype, but I downloaded it a couple of days ago, but I also switched to ART so I really don't know what caused it. now I'm back to dalvik and what I did was I removed app cache and data and then rebooted the phone. PROBLEM SOLVED, with Skype still installed..
I got my moto g 4 days back and the camera was working fine, all of a sudden it stopped working and i getting the same error camera cannot camera cannot initialize.
I have tried everything soft reset, hard reset, rebot, cache partitioning format, clear data, still the problem persist.
Please Advice.
Thanks in advance

Anyone else having trouble with the camera app on lollipop?

My wife and I both have the Nexus 5. I'm still on KitKat while she is on lollipop. She is completely stock and upgraded to lollipop via ota. I tried to take pictures in low light so I set the flash to always on. I noticed sometimes it would not flash, sometimes it would flash, and sometimes the flash would come on and stay on leaving the app in a hung state. Anyone else? Or should I just consider a different app from the Play Store?
Not an issue for me stock 5.0. I flashed factory image didn't wait for OTA. Try clearing cache and data on camera app?

I thought of clearing the cache after I posted this, so I did. Now it seems the flash doesn't work at all even when set to be on all the time. I guess I will just stick to HDR on her phone
I've got problems too, and I looked for it in the web. Seems to be a known bug, when you use the torch then the camera has problems and crashes sometimes too.
Anyway rebooting fixes everything. Apparently here in xda nobody has started investigating this

I'm wondering if using a third party led flashlight app (tiny LED is good) would resolve if it's just a Google issue? I cant we why it's a camera issue, I'm putting my money on the Google flashlight code.

Galaxy S7 Nougat Clock problem

Hello all,
I just wanted to share my experience with Android 7. It was available for me to download a few days ago, so I took the plunge. The UX looks changed, apps are responsive and the blue light filter works well. But there is just one problem: the clock. The app keeps crashing when I open it so I can't use any alarms or timer.
Is anyone experiencing this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions?
Thanks, Fritz_F
Exact same problem. I use different clock now anyway... But as the app is completely frozen.... I can't turn off the alarm that I've made.... so it's every day 7:55,yeay ! Help pls
I have the same issue too. Any solutions yet?
What's the Version of the Build? And did you try Force Stopping the Clock app then Activating it again?
Try clearing app cache and force stop. Restart.

Just an FYI... i got this working.
Clearing cache and force stopping wasn't enough, I also had to clear data as well. Now it all works again.
Thanks for the ideas above which lead me to this solution.

Audio stops playing after locking the screen

Hi, I didn't find anyone with similar problems I have with Honor 8 after EMUI 5 update so I think I am rather lonely with this problem.
When I am listening to audio in apps like Deezer, PocketCasts,... there are 3 events that occur randomly after I press power button to lock the screen:
- There is no problem. Audio keeps playing.
- Audio stops playing. When I unlock the phone app is still running. It's like someone would press pause button.
- Audio stops playing. When I unlock the phone I see home screen. App closes itself.
In battery settings these apps have "Close apps after screen lock" option unchecked.
I've already done factory reset but problem persists.
Does anyone also have this issue? How to fix it?
I would be thankful for your help.
Just chiming in to say I have the same issue but unfortunately do not have a solution. I did a factory reset also hoping to fix this but it has not (EMUI 5). I only use Pocketcasts but when it happens (maybe 1 in 5), the app has always closed even though I also have specified the app not to close on screen lock.
Hopefully someone else has come across this and might have an answer.

Wiping cache partition from recovery seems to solve the issue.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try and see if it helps.

I don't have this problem any longer. See my reply in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/music-apps-close-phone-locked-t3671198
Basically, disable Chrome browser from closing when the screen is locked.
Hope it works for you too.
