mm-qcamera-daemon

I am running a stock Nexus 5 with 4.4.2. and mm-qcamera-daemon has been significantly lowering my battery life and I do not know which app is causing it. Does anyone know where this originated from or what it is?

it comes from the camera, when you take hdr+ photos.

Are you using any battery saving apps? If so, get rid of them.

Always swipe the camera away from recents when you finished

WOuld Killall -HUP /system/bin/mm-qcamera-deamon by shell script fix the camera crash without reboot?

I had the same thing I deleted most things that I recently downloaded that used the camera and I rebooted the phone and it worked

I'm having this problem too. I don't have snapchat or any of the other applications that have been claimed to cause it.
I haven't installed any new camera using apps so it's probably due to some update. Stock rom, was happening on stock kernel, is still happening on linaro.

I'm not sure if this helps or relates to your situation but I had that problem about a month after installing jishnu's camera...kinda came out of nowhere one day. I deleted the app/ mod, rebooted and reinstalled it and haven't had the problem since.

this is a nightmare, as it is unpredictable, with no solution, and not addressed by google.. Even after a factory reset, it ends up coming back.

I got this 2 days ago, first time ever. And I have been using my camera consistently.
First when I start my camera, I get Unable to connect to camera, so I rebooted, and camera works again, but at the end of the day, I saw the high memory usage. I rebooted the phone again yesterday and it seems fine again. Buggy...
And this process have no "Report" button like Google Search or Google Maps have, so I have no way of reporting this issue to Google.

One of the culprit is Yahoo! Messenger's voice/video plugin... Or any other apps that will use the camera..
If you were trying to upload a picture but failed in the mid way... this might occured as the app will always trying to upload the pic eventhough it got failed..

Per my similar topic here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2564457 the culprit for me seems to be an update to Skype pushed out a few days ago.

hmm, now you mentioned it, I did install skype on my phone a while ago.
Let me uninstall it!

Since I removed Skype I've had zero more black screens; I'm pretty confident that this is the cause for me.

Negative Guys....
I'm sure that is not third party apps that is causing that drainage,
Why in the world suddenly all people are experiencing this batt drainage with many different apps and blaming them?
I have the problem with weather channel and the mm-qcamera-daemon, others with skype, others with yahoo messenger and so on, this problem suddenly?
I believe that google is working on that problem but not saying anything about it.
Please read all these reports in these 2 links and after that tell me that I'm wrong.

I know that some people just uninstall an application and then it works again as before, but later on the problem shall arise in a few days or something, I've read this. Let me uninstall it and let you know, maybe it was an update that caused the problem but I got The Weather Channel that said it was something similar to mm-qcamera.daemon and I uninstalled it and the same problem, I deleted the cache and davlik cache as well and it did not work, I have rebooted several times and it seems that I have to do a nandroid restore and see what happens after that.

I am not actually blaming them, just want to find out HOW to make sure this doesn't happen to me. If it involves uninstalling Skype, then let it be.
This is definitely a OS process, its whether there's a bug in the OS, that was triggered by Skype, OR its that Skype is not using the API correctly, either way, the "solution" for now is just to uninstall Skype.

I would agree with this. I've frozen Skype with TiBackup to see what happens.

reboot with clearing cache did the job for me

Issues after 4.4.3 update

Hello guys
I just finished updating my rooted Nexus 5 to 4.4.3 and it went fine but I immidiately noticed some "problems" when I turned it on. The thing is that my touch screen is not as responsive as before 4.4.3 update. On 4.4.2 scrolling was flowy and smooth like on ice, but on 4.4.3 I got big delay (half cm of emptiness) on scrolling through gesture (apps, home or anything..) and, even worse, when I'm scrolling down my Contacts list it dials randomly due to a lagging. Is there any calibration to be done or that's it?

It doesn't sound normal. Mine is working just as smooth as it was on 4.4.2. Have you tried wiping the phone? Do a factory reset and see.

issues here
my battery went from 19% to 0 over night.... in airplane mode. previously, it would only use 3-4% overnight, esp with everything turned off. almost woke up late
also, im having a hard time answering phone calls. i slide to answer, it doesnt answer but its still ringing

I noticed that there is a bunch of different problems reported last two days and I have decided to wait for Google's response on all of this mess. But I must say that my phone is working better now and somehow it heals itself )) Maybe this update is about implementing some organic components

I'm having a lot of issues with my phone.. Seems like an sd card issue. Ant app that uses memory does not work properly... Even the camera does not load...
I'm going to do a factory reset... Any way to save all settings on stock?

I also got a big issue on 4.4.3. since the update i get sponataeuos signal dropouts especially when i travel by bus or train.
It seams the radio has problems by logging out at one cell and switch to an other cell. Also the reception/signal is very weak.
Someone noticed the same? or does anybody has a tip?
thanks in advance :good:

Go to settings > apps > locate google dialer and clear cache
For battery drain, install an app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats (it's free demo version is available on XDA) or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm
Observe your device for one day after complete charge (90+) and use it.
Using that app, you'll observe the apps/wakelocks which are causing unnecessary battery drain. Eliminate them or post screenshots here so that we can help you to solve battery drain issue.

I'm guessing OP's problem is related to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2643097 but this is the first time I have heard the same for Nexus 5.

First thing to do if something is broken after an OTA is factory reset to see if it is an OS bug or whether you have incompatible data and settings.
It sounds like it would be a pain to do, but you can easily backup with helium nowadays so it needn't be

+1 - Clean wipe and see, it might fix all of your issues. Hopefully it does

Did you flash the userdata.img? If not, your data is still there and still possibly causing the issue.

GPS not Working
Has anyone else noticed if their GPS is working or not? I was trying to use mine last night and I can see that GPS connects and it brings up the map but then never navigates or even moves from the starting point on the map. Can someone let me know if this is a new problem??? I flashed the N5_4.4.3.zip file that someone pointed me to, as I had asked for a flashable zip file to update to 4.4.3 as I still have not gotten an ota notification from T-Mobile:confused

i have a question also,
what if i like the current mono toned google dialer?
when i get this update & it updates the dialer, is it possible to un-install the dialer update to revert back to the older dialer?

[INFO] Touchscreen Lag

So I recently started having touch screen lag and was searching around on how to fix it. Unfortunately none of the solutions really worked, but changing theme from stock did help a bit. I have not yet found a solution which is why I need your help. Please contribute anything, anything at all.
So when I restarted my phone into safemode all the lag was gone, I will start to isolate a service or an app that is causing this. Anyone else feel free to help out please !
EDIT: Uninstalled xposed but no changes. I'll try root next.

My OPO is lagging, too. The update to 05Q didn't fix it. It seems to get worse when the phone gets hot, which is what a lot of other people are reporting.
It's getting really annoying. I'm going to try a full factory reset, but I'm not hopeful since the temperature thing leads me to believe that it's hardware related. I'll probably end up getting a new phone.
Keep us updated on what you find. I love this phone so I really don't want to get rid of it.

Well well, I deleted it and I noticed a improvement in the lag, but there are still random lag spikes which just MAKE ME WANT TO SMASH THE DAMN THING!!! Even my moto G can handle touchscreen latency better than this. I'm debating on weather to do a factory reset or not... and yesterday all my contacts disappeared for no reason... For some strange reason the lag is extremely less in safe mode which leads me to believe that it must be some other app as well. I have tried uninstalling xposed but it was not the source of the problem, neither are my root apps. Ill try uninstalling avast next (I mainly use it for a firewall with root). This is definitely a software problem because when I use twrp the touchscreen works perfectly fine. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Disabling swype to type helped a lot but that is not a viable solution and CM or OPO should fix this.

To be honest my lag problem wasn't that savere it was intermittent. But at times it would flare up and I noticed it not only on my opo but my sisters glx s3 after adblock plus was installed.
Opo is good hardware but the software side is very much to be desired.
On a sidenote.... Update to 05Q yesterday has left me with a very bad network reception :weep: it will just no longer work indoors!!!!!! So will have to downgrade to 44S withba complete wipe.

Yes my touch used to be good before 44s and after it just got terrible. I'm hoping cm12 will fix it.

After that update, I also had reception issues. I had to go back to settings and under mobile networks > APNs, select a different APN and then switch back to the original one.

Guys and girls,
This has been occuring on and off on my OPO.
Safe mode partly cures but not fully
Uninstalling all 3rd party apps, does not solve
Installing Swiftkey does not solve
Problem deteriorates gradually over a few days
Tweaking system/theme settings makes no difference
Running command line into terminal - no solution
The only way I solve this problem is by factory resetting and trying to standardise/keep simple/keep minimal my system settings. I don't install apps that I don't absolutely need. I back up all my data on a HDD so the only thing I lose is my time to reinstall and tweak settings. About an hour.
Infuriating, but feeling of heavy relief sets in once solved!

[Completed] Samsung told me a launcher was why my Note 4 was crashing and restarting. True?

Hi, not sure where to post this; either under Apps, Launchers or Note 4...
I have a Note 4 which I was running Nova Launcher prime on since May 2015. Last week it developed lag and would randomly restart, either while doing tasks or sitting idle. Under warranty Samsung told me the crashes were software related (after running a diagnostic) and that launchers are bad and change the device state over time, causing my problems.
Attached a picture of what the phone would sometimes restart to, other times it would reboot with a simple restart.
I've read no where that this is true. Can anyone verify this as I think it's some BS and scapegoating.
Samsung did replace my Note 4 but I'd like to know whether there's substance to what they said and whether I should continue using Nova. It could also be a single App I had that caused the problem but didn't have the chance to identify which one of these it could've been.
Thanks in advance!

Greetings and welcome to assist. Any app can cause lag or slow down overtime but unless it has root access which nova doesnt it cant cause any damage to the phone. The screen you linked isn't caused by nova or if it is then its the first time I've heard of it. If an app is causing issues then clearing cache and data from it normally fixes it

Thanks Sawdoctor. I cleared the cache several times but the problem persisted so I gave up and used my warranty for a replacement. I've since sold the replacement and am now onto a S7 Edge. I'm comfortable to restart using Nova now. Thanks!
Must've been another rogue app which caused the Note 4 to keep crashing.

Force Touch Problem

Hi everybody.
I noticed a problem on my S8+, with the Home Button Force Touch feature not working when the phone is hot, or even randomly.
Does anyone have a problem like that ?
I think this happens since the last update, but I can't be sure because I had the update 3 days after I got the phone.
Thanks.

I had the same issue about a month ago. I asked about it in every forums but no one answered.
Problem happened when I was playing game. I was trying to get to the home screen by hard pressing home button but my phone didn't respond. I tried to fix it in every way. I contacted Samsung via mySamsung app but the advice they gave me didn't work at all. Fortunately after a day, it started working again and the problem has never happened since then.
I recommend you to clear cache partition in recovery mode and then wait for a day.

Thanks I'm gonna try your advice. But I didn't install TWRP yet and didn't root either, so I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to do it.

Ok so I wiped the cache partition (with the stock recovery), let's see if it worked.
