Try switching to a lower resolution. There are problem with the 5MP, whilst 4MP works.

Turn off face and smile detection and try again, it should work. I had the same problem and it solved, I didn't have to do anything with the resolution.

Fallout 5.0
Hey guys,
I have similar problem with Fallout 5.0.0 on HTC Desire S.
1. Did a full wipe.
2. Installed the ROM Fallout 5.0.0
3. I was able to take pictures with the camera but as soon as I switch to recording. The camera won't respond to anything flash menu, camera menu, won't even let me switch back to picture taking, the view is proper I see everything what camera sees but it won't respond. In order to be able to take pictures I have to restart my phone. But if I press on recording again the camera will switch to recording and won't respond. Won't be able to turn it off, only press home and task kill the camera.

Have you tried a lower resolution for recording? Does it work?

slow camera opening

Hey, does anyone else find that the camera on the P9 takes a good 5 or so seconds from clicking the app to it actually displaying the image(this happens randomly but not always)? I find it stays black for a few seconds before it finally displays what the camera sees. Every other app is quick to open though ?

I get this. I wondered if it started when I set the default storage location to SD card.
But, as you say, sometimes it is very quick.

Don't use Snapchat I'm afraid.
I have tested swapping the "priority to SD" flag but it is still inconsistent.

it seems that the problem fixed after disabled (priority to SD) and then take any picture. (so when open camera will load latest photo from internal storage not SD) .

I have this issue too. If the camera is still in the recent app cache it will open instantly. If I close it out and leave it about 5 minutes it can take at least 5 seconds before I can see the on screen image and take a photo...
I don't have the priority SD card switched on. I'm on the UK Vodafone SKU
Any ideas?

the problem is still exist after disabled the priority to sd . (it was ok for one day after disabled priority to sd but the problem back again yesterday) so it's not related to sd card . and it's really annoying when you want to take a picture you will miss it because of slow opening that happens randomly .

I tried the camera in safe mode and it seemed to work fine. Could be a third party app that is trying to launch at the same time.
I'll try investigate further.

ok . please keep us updated

So. Definitely looks to be a software issue. Either at the system level or third party apps. Most likely the latter.
I downloaded Open Camera and had the same inconsistent opening times. After I removed it from recents and opened a few other apps, Open Camera took around 3-5 seconds to be ready to take a shot.
Not sure which app is influencing it so much. So time to start disabling things and testing further. Joy.....

Hey hamud. What software version and SKU are you using?

it seems that not everyone has this problem ? what do you think?

How fast does camera open from locked phone if you use the power button and volume down button with to take a photo as soon as it opens?
It tells you speed on screen, maybe we can compare this too? I am getting 1.1 to 1.5 seconds.

you mean double tap the volume down while phone is locked ?

Sorry yes double tap, I always forget how to it and takes me longer than the actual camera to open and shoot.
I just came from Windows phones and am used to having dedicated camera button so am still adjusting.

The ultra snapshot took 1.7 seconds. But immediately after that the camera app was frozen for about 5 seconds before the screen showed live what the lens was seeing and let me take another shot. Really frustrating.

for me it took 1.0 , 1.7 and 2.4. I think the problem with huawei firmware. can you share your software version ?

EVAL09
C02B133
I tired removing well known resource heavy apps. Facebook, Twitter etc but no change. I removed AL3 as my launcher and went back to stock. Seemed to improve slightly but still get the 5-7 second freeze every now and again.

so it's not related to my model eval19 . so Huawei must know about this problem to solve it in new update . but I don't know how ?

Blank XZP 4k video app

hey guys, I encountered some strange problem tonight..
but I want to record 4k video and I swipe then open the app but voila..!! it just showing a black blank screen with no button or any interface.. just like freeze app..
other app like panorama, audio photo, picture effect is normal, video recording using normal camera and slowmo is normal too..
I dont know when it started to happen but first time I receive this phone, 4k run without problem..
any idea how to fix this? please help..
Its the same in safe mode

Have you restarted your device and cleared data from the problem apps? That may help.

I did both clear data on camera and restart and still not work..
ps: finally I did factory reset, and it works.. TT_TT

I was happy to buy xz premium . I recorded about 4 min of 4k video and I can not see it. The phone says "can not play video" I tried video, album or google drive and nothing. Now, I am so disappointed with this phone.

Rear camera stopped working randomly

Yesterday, I could use my rear camera normally without problems. Now every app that uses the rear camera (Camera, Snapchat, etc.) crashes instatnly without giving chance to switch to front facing camera. Tried factory reset like a million times without any luck. What could be the possible reason and how can i get it back to work ?
HTC U11 Life Android One 8.1.0 (EU/PL) 32 GB

Same problem here...any fix for this?

same problem here, any solutions?

add another person. My wife's u11 just stopped working no matter the resets, forced RUU updates (stock) and everything.
Spoke to HTC they said they'd fix it but said they have no timetable on when they'd return it! They're falling apart.

This is U11 life thread and not u11, and its related to a not working camera module and not the whole device. For HTC repair i can tell you it takes something between 3 and 12 months to get the device back. No joke you can read about these long repair times a lot online.

same issue here. No fix but to confirm it's a hardware issue, I use Google voice commands to say "Take a selfie" - which launches the camera app with the front facing camera selected.
If that works fine, then it is likely a hardware issue with the rear camera, you can contact HTC, though your mileage may vary.
If front-facing camera is also not working, that could indicate a software issue you could try resetting the camera settings back to default. Other possible causes might be the disk / sd card where photos are being stored when camera is launched....

Back camera stopped working completely here, no picture, just black and the camera app closes after 5 sec. Resetting camera app did not help. Other camera app (open camera) has the same problem.
Front camera works from “long tap / selfie cam”

google camera 32 bit for samsung galaxy a10e

I tried searching for the phone on hear but it brought nothing up. I'm attempting to download google camera. At best I have gotten an apk that only video recording works and taking pictures shows a black screen and crashes. Another one opens up momentarily and I can see my camera fine but then crashes quickly. Is this something I will be out of luck on until this phone gets root capabilities? Thanks for reading
V2f_moonlightdrive is the apk that video works and settings but camera is black and crashes if I stay on it for too long.
