I have a european stock HTC One SV (no root), which received the OTA update to Android 4.2.2 and Sense 5 when it was released (that was last November or so). Since then, the option to use the front camera disappeared from the Camera app. I can't recall clearly but I'd say that the camera app showed a button with some kind of "rotation" icon, and also I was able to use it with Skype. Now there is no such option.
I've cleaned up the app data... is there anything else I could do? Is it a common problem after the update? (although I didn't find anything by searching the forum...)
@juannm Now you have to swype from left to right or right to left to swap cameras. See if that works for you. However the lack of camera in Skype is odd.. I have the newest Skype version and everything is working fine for me except the group video (even I have premium I can't use it...).
(HTC One SV LTE (k2_ul), debranded (T-MOB009 changed to HTC__032))
I've just received my new LG yesterday and I noticed the camera focus not working probably, i thought the 20f update would fix it, but it didn't, I've searched online for the most common ways to fix this issue and non worked, the focus issue is also in all the camera apps that i installed.
Sadly I don't live in the US , so does anyone know a fix that doesn't require hardware fixing?
Hi, am I the only one having constant issues with snapchat on my Idol 3? App crashes randomly, app crashes when I try to apply filters..it's very hard to use.
Does anybody please have a solution?
same issue here
Software issue
Yeah, I have the same problem, I created a thread previously here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/help/snapchat-twitch-app-issues-t3144511 Seems like a software/firmware issue that Alcatel needs to address, as the phone does have performance issues with lagging, slowness, etc. Other phones that are lower in specs. can handle snapchat without issues, so this phone's hardware can handle it, but the software updates is what's killing this phone. I hope the 5.1 update fixes it. Someone replied in my thread above, saying that the filters in snapchat work fine with video, and that's true when I tested it. I like this phone, but the only issue is its performance!!! Time to send Alcatel more e-mails!
Also problem with Vodafone Smart Ultra (ZTE). Crashes when choosing filters.
Snapchat issues solved!

How can I get that update?
Hello,
I have been using Xperia XZ since few months for now and I have several issues. Now I'm using stock oreo modded with Stock Light Patch v7.3, but my problem also exists on eXistenZ. The main issue is that my phone randomly drops wifi. I've tried many solutions from Internet including even apps like wifi fixer but nothing changes.
On AOSP that problem doesn't exist and wifi is as stable as should so I think that problem is only with stock. Has anyone experienced that issue?
On AOSP i have another problem. My problem isn't caused by camera app, because some work very well on AOSP. The issue is that if I take pictures with front camera almost all of them are blurry. It looks to be autofocus problem but I don't know what to do. I've tried pie, Q, O ROMs and issue always is the same.
Sometimes when I take few pictures on AOSP, suddenly I can't take more and nothing helps. Has anyone found a solution to my problem and could help me?
Thanks for any response
Hello all
I have the (e)xperience, that I always need to restard the phone, before the Netflix app starts without failure. Anyone else this behavior?

No problem with Netflix on my phone.
Delete data and cache and try again.
I'm facing the same issue. Haven't found what's causing it or any workaround to avoid restarting the phone. Deleting data & cache haven't helped. Even reinstalled the app.
I have the same issue not only with Netflix but also with Disney Plus. I think something is messed up with how the phone manages DRM.
I have the exact same issue, and it concerns Netflix, Disney+ and HBO.
same problem here also with p.v and d+, only restart fix the problem temporarily, i noticed also that the cromecast works , so its a minor problem for me because rarely i watch netflix on phone, i hope sony fix this with the next update, its absurde that the app come preinstalled in the phone and works bad ?
Just found the same issue on the first week I was using this phone on early October. I told with the Sony CS and reported this bug to them but they didn't think it's a bug as they told me not so many users reported to them. They won't try to fix this problem....
I had this with the old firmware, with the security patches of August. With the latest firmware, patches of November, I don't have it.
Same annoying problem here with Netflix and Prime Video, even after the firmware update including December patch.
Same problem here. I wasn't even aware of it until reading this thread as I always use a Chromecast.
Same problem here. First time Netflix after restart no problems. After having used the phone for a while and going back to Netflix, videos refuse to start. Red circle keeps spinning, eventually resulting in Netflix error 5.7.
Only a phone restart will fix this. Very annoying.
Any solutions?
I'm having this issue with Netflix as well. Just got the phone, it's on the latest software version. I haven't tried Prime video yet. Not a huge deal, since I only watch videos on my phone when I travel, and well...yeah, that won't be happening for a while. Agree it needs to be fixed.
Dear all - so I am not alone with this problem. (I didn't receive any updates on that threat). Especially, as it is a preinstalled app, Sony should get this work. How can we contact them?

It really is pretty poor having a pre instilled app not working properly.
It looks like I no longer have the issue with Prime, only with Netflix. So it could be an issue with the app itself. Has anyone tried to contact Netlfix support?
For me this is solved since my Xperia 5ii was updated to Android 11.
For me, too, with the update, it is gone!
