[Q] Camera cant connect on 5.1 - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I'm having same issue on 5.0.1 and on 5.1 as well.
I figured the update on 5.1 will fix this issue but it persists. I will restart and its ok for some time. After few hours when I try to take photos, it says "cant connect to camera". I did the cache clear trick doesnt help. I dont think its a hardware problem cause it works for some time rhen it shws the error. Is it possible to be a conflict with Viber app or something like this??? I'm just guessing but I really need your help as it very annoying. ALso the Music app sometimes doesnt play thefiles.
Tbh, I'm getting more and more dissapointed with every update.
Note that I'm on stock rom never rooted....
Thanks!

Try turning off the face unlock option

I believe its turned off. I've tried everything but doesnt solve the issue. Its very annoying, I can't use the camera most of the time

This haunted me also. No one helped. I needed the camera as my wife is 8000 miles away . A hard reset works. I switched to Lite ROM and it's never happened again. It's stock and small

Virtuous Inquisition Problems

I have two problems with this and was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it.
The first is with the stock browser. It just wont work. When I launch it, it crashes immediately.
The second one is with the lock screen camera. It says it was fixed in a previous version on the main page, but I'm still having the problem. Basically, when I slide it over to the camera, it works like the normal lock, no camera function at all.
Running Sensation 4g

Ok, that seemed to get the browser to work! Thank you.
The camera works as well, but only if I don't use face lock. Pattern lock and slide lock work fine with it, face lock don't.
hmm it could be a known ics bug which would be in ics fixes or you could try reporting it to the developer on the rom thread i personaly dont use the face unlock so i havnt encountered that problem
Sadly, I'm a noob here and I can't post to the ROM thread. I don't use the camera all that much, so it's no biggie. Hopefully someone else mentions it or maybe it's a known bug.
The browser thing was bothering me though. Thanks for the help with that.
I was having the browser problem too, but resetting permissions and clearing the cache in the apps menu seemed to fix it.
All of my problems are with mobile internet (Wi-Fi is fine). I don't seem to get as good a connection as on my stock rom, and YouTube refuses to play over 3g (connection to server lost); does anyone know how I could improve this?
Speaking of problems with VI, I flashed it a couple days ago and I've ran into two problems:
1. I can't connect to the wifi hotspot anymore. My computer can connect to the network, but it wouldn't be assigned an IP address so I can't browse the net.
2. Juicedefender crashes the phone whenever it boots.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I'd be eternally grateful!
one suggestion is to uninstall jd

MOKEE 4.4.2 Network Issue - GT-P3100

Okay so i have 4.4.2 in my gt-p3100 and am facing continuous network loss.
One second its there and the other second it says no service.
Then it identifies my cell network but shows this -
No Service- TATA DOCOMO
(Tata docomo is my network provider)
This happens usually when i am about to make a call or message or about to recieve a call or message.
The incoming call gets displayed for a split second and then bam..!
The network goes away.
And then again it shows no service and the cycle continues.
Toggling the airplane mode on and off sometimes helps, but mostly i cant get it even after several reboots or sim changes and everything.
I am really annoyed now.
This started only 5-6 days ago.
I completely reformatted this tab and had a fresh install but still it continues.
I have a custom messaging app called 8sms and xposed framework installed although i use just X-Privacy.
Besides i read that moto G users in my region are facing the same issue in their current KitKat version.
Just for reference : https://forums.motorola.com/posts/027c60e48f
Any help is urgently needed, thanks.
Bump...???
I hope this helps.
Clean install ROM. do not restore backup apps first. first log-in through your google account and restore all..
I experience same problem with other roms also slimkat, sensonic, dhollmen. what i did is restore my contacts and apn setting from my google account not from a backup. i hope this helps.
Well i had just cleaned and installed but what i did was let google restore the contacts and apn.
Then i manually restored some apks via app backup and restore.
And then i used Titanium Backup to restore the data in all of them.
Is this the wrong way.?
Thanks btw.
@gangpe well i changed the APN as u said.
But i was playing GTA San Andreas.
And a call came and it rang for a split second and then same..the network goes away.
But it came back automatically.
Still the issue is not solved coz it happens randomly .
Is the apn still there, or did it disappear? I ran into an issue once where the apn did not save for some reason...

Well its still there...
I chose the same name for it too, would that conflict.?
Also randomly it happens when sending/recieving a message too.
I click on send and suddenly it says no service and then the message cannot be sent even after 2-3 reboots. :-/
Bump..
Any one know any solution..?
Its starting to get on my nerves.
Random no service msgs.
And wont get stable unless 2-3 reboots..:-/ :-/
Not sure what to tell you. A few days ago, I had a few weird issues (could not install xposed framework, quick settings panel would not work), so I ended up wiping cache, data, system, and dalvik. After wiping, I re-installed the ROM, and I have been good since.
In my case, there was probably an old setting I had that was causing issues. If you haven't tried wiping those four options, then I would suggest you try wiping/reinstalling.
If you have tried that, not really sure what to say. Sounds like you might need to head back to stock for a while until a later release resolves the issue.
Mmmm...the thing u are telling is a case of wrong dirty flash of a rom, i mean u must have flashed a previous version rom without wiping over other rom version.
I have faced this too..but the thing i was facing seems to have gone now on current latest release.
Dont know but i did not fixed permissions from TWRP this time after OTA and now the issue hasnt surfaced since 24 hours.
Maybe i'l wait some more and check and report back here.
Thanks anyways.
Now i m gonna pull my hairs out..!!!!
Wtf is this sorcery.. I was watching a vid on MX player and again the no network issue started happening as soon as a call came....!
This MX player is the culprit i think..usually while watching vids this happens...
Same issue for me on p5100, it happens both on Dhollmen and Mokee.
I don't have MX player installed.
Often happens when watching videos, but I'm not sure if it happens ONLY WHEN watching videos.
However, no further way out than rebooting.
Sent from my GT-P5100 using xda app-developers app
Well i am facing this randomly..but usually while mx player is on.
I cant seem to find any solution to this.
In rare cases i need 2-3 reboots to fix this.
M soo very disappointed guys.
Have not a single site as great as xda and not many people are even looking at our problem.
I generalized the problem to most full screen apps.
And it happens usually while pausing the app and flicking down the status bar and doing some multitasking from there or pressing the home button.
Anyone....???
Or should i just try Omni Rom.?
Maybe Mokee has this bug..?
If you try Omni Rom, I really appreciate if you let me known the results in any case, since I have no free time and currently I cannot flash this rom
Okay mate, i'l flash that in about a week as my exams are going on.
Omni has just this battery drain issue.
It seems no one knows about the problem we are facing on mokee.
@loboz well i flashed omni and its feature packed..
No issues till now, a little different from mokee and you'l be glad you did as mokee's OTA are dead too..
Satisfied with omni..

Strange Bluetooth issue

Since I got my phone on release day and I haven't been able to use it to make calls in my 2012 mazdaspeed3. My other phones have worked fine so I thought I needed a software update on my radio. Well everything is up to date and that didn't fix it.
The problem is when I make or receive a phone call the Bluetooth will connect and disconnect every 5-10 seconds. This makes it impossible to talk on the phone.
So I have tried stock roms, sense based roms, and all the CM based roms and they all did the same thing. Yesterday I was trying to figure it out so I sat in my car in the garage and the phone was in a constant connect disconnect loop. During this time I was disabling apps and services hoping to stop it when all of a sudden I turned off WiFi and it stopped. I then called my wife and had a 10 min conversation with no problems. So I now run a tasker profile that when Bluetooth connects it turns off WiFi so I can make calls. The problem is I have a nexus 7 dash mounted and I use the WiFi hotspot to run apps.
So after all that, does this sound like a hardware issue or a software issue? Should I return my phone for an exchange? Thanks for the help

My M8 should be here today and I have a 2010 Mazdaspeed3. I hope this isn't an issue with all of them. Although, my MS3 has a long history of it's bluetooth not getting along with HTC phones.

So far, no. It took me like 20 minutes to get the phone to pair but once that was done it hasn't disconnected at all. I have music constantly streaming through Bluetooth to the car and I've taken a couple calls with no issue.
having the same issue here. My vehicle is a 2013 Ford F150 with Sync.
Worked up until about a day ago .. Now i can't get stock or aosp roms to lock in bluetooth

Have you tried clearing data and cache in settings?
the Red Viper ROM
I am having the same issue.
It is connecting and disconnecting repeatedly, and it is SUPER annoying because it essentially renders my pebble watch useless.
For a while i was using the Automatic Link (car link) and was getting 'bluetooth share has stopped' errors, but found that when I stopped using the Automatic app it helped a little bit (stopped giving me the 'share has stopped' error), but it still connects and disconnects repeatedly.
The weirdest thing about this is that when I first got this phone I wasn't having this problem, everything was working fine for the first month or so, but it seems to keep getting worse.
I have tried wiping cache, dalvik, fixing permissions, etc. and have not had any luck, but I don't want to do a complete wipe of all my data and lose my text messages, etc. unless ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, since there are images and things in there that I continually refer to for work, and I have not found that titanium backup restores them very reliably.
Has anybody had any luck with this issue? Could it be a defective device? It seems to me like it should be a software problem because it is not something I was having problems with from the start...
I am very frustrated with this, even more so because I love this phone so much. I have never had a phone that I liked as much as this one, usually the first thing I do is install an AOSP rom, but I even like Sense 6 in some ways. With Nova Launcher's 'OK Google' hotword support this phone is a dream come true... if only the bluetooth worked.

Sounds like the common theme may be root for whatever reason. I assume when you first had the phone and it worked that you were not rooted? Possible issue?

you need to let HTC backup app take care of backing up your texts etc...what if you dropped the phone in the toilet tonight or got pushed into a pool?
this app is free...will backup your stuff daily or on demand and will restore email accounts/texts/desktop/apps/blinkfeed settings etc.

install that, backup to the cloud (uses Google drive) and then continue troubleshooting without fear of losing stuff.

Honor 8 gyro or accelerometer bug?

Hi,
i've noticed a very boring bug, sometimes the screen rotation won't work untill i reboot the phone; after reboot it's all fine untill the bug appear again.
Had it in B360 and also now in B131 (i've done a rollback).
Hard reset/cache clean already done and nothing changed, any advice? It's a known bug?
I did not have this bug on Android 6 but since update to Android 7 I too have this. Like yourself a reboot corrects this bug for a time.
I have reported this to Huawei Honor via feedback and email.
Their reply was this is a feature of the OS..
Yeah for real my reply was not nice let's just say until I emailed a reply with the problems once again.. Just goes to show they don't read the full details laid out when reporting issues..
You should just send them an email with your problem via email from within the HiCare app (Service > Feedback>email)
Same issue here. I bought my Honor 8 last week, and now my accelerator is only working for few minutes after reboot. Firmware is B131. Is this an software or hardware issue?
I have the same problem (smartphone is 2 weeks old, FRD-L19, B360).
Sometimes it occurs daily. Sometimes not for some days.
This is really strange. I did a hard reset and for now it is working again.
But you can try this:
Delete cache of compass app (in system settings) and start app again. I assume that you have to re-calibrate the compass now. Do so and make sure that calibration is successful (i.e. turning the phone in every direction)
Does this fix your issue? I assume that somehow the accelerometer/gyro is also dependent from a correctly working magnetometer.
Edit: After some days I figured out that also a hard reset is not the solution. I updated on B380 now and have no issues so far. Let's see...
Edit nr. 2: issue also occured with B380. Seems to be a software issue deep in the system. Hopefully Honor will fix this issue in the future
Probably isn't just a software bug, Honor service replied me that it could be an hardware problem came out with Nougat Update, they told me that i could have sent them the device to let investigate the problem, but i made a refund and bought another phone.
Which phone did you buy?
I don't think that this is a hardware issue as I have had this problem with Android 6 as well. Nothing is working for me yet. Will wait for my 3rd device and this will definitively be my last one...

Same here. It's definitely some software-related issue. Factory-resetting the phone solves that issue until the next system update is installed. A reboot only helps for some hours (not even days for me). I guess there's something wrong with the calibration data and that exact part is restored to it's initial state when you do a factory reset.
Found out that I have the same issue
I just found out that my gyroscope isn't working properly, for instance while using Google Cardboard app or if I'm trying to watch YouTube in cardboard mode. The strange thing with this issue is that it works perfectly fine if I'm enjoying a 360° vr photo in chrome/opera
I don't really want to downgrade my phone to previous Android version since I don't want to lose all my data...
I have realized that if I have installed "Huawei Health" app, accelerometer seems to work without freezing.
Can someone try and confirm this?

WLAN instable and slow since B389 Update

Yesterday I updated my Honor 8 via the Systemupdate Menu. Since the Update I am struggling with WLAN Problems.
I never disconnect from the network but every minute or so the connection gets super slow. Like 100Bits/Second slow.
This does not only happen at my home network but also at work. I tried resetting the network settings but nothing changed... I am clueless at this point on what to do.
Any help is appreciated a lot!
Thanks, Jonny
Other devices work fine. Gonna do a factory reset now.
The factory reset might have fixed it. Works fine at the moment Thanks
Nevermind the probem is still there. I reinstalled my apps and now have the same problem. Also i noticed that the Wlan Symbol goes from full connectivity to 0 and vice versa all the time..
How can I check which App causes the problem? When i reboot in save mode I can't find a way to test the connection. Could switching the main storage path to a SD be the cause in any way?
Because this time the problem started occuring again once I rebooted after switching this setting.
I resetted the phone and just installed Twitch to have a constant live stream running to be able to see when the problem occurs. The problem still happens every few minutes.
I now deinstalled Twitch and installed the Ookla Speedtest and the problem comes up from time to time again. I also deinstalled every preinstalled app after the reset. So i am pretty sure that apps are not the problem..

So and if u uninstall this "Twitch" problem still continuing? Constant live streaming must have too affect to other apps, streming take lot of signal...
