Camera UI disappears - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone
I'm very happy with my Z5, even on the camera's side.
Anyway I'm facing a strange problem: sometimes my camera UI completely disappears, I only have the sensor view but no icon, no menu, nothing. Even the scren is unresponsive.
I have to quick press the power bouton (but the screens goes off and I have to unlock it) to retrieve the interface.
Anyone's having the same issue?
Thanks in advance.
PS: FYI I have the touch capture ption ticked, don't know if it changes anything...

Maybe Enable animator scale in developer options will help.
There were a few folk in that thread having a similar issue so thought maybe you had changed this setting?

Camera not saving picture

Hey all,
I just got (and totally love) the Fuze. I've already flashed it to NATF's 2.2 and it's just amazing. The only problem is that somewhere between yesterday and today, the camera has totally flaked out on me :-(.
I'll take a picture (and regardless of if its set to store on the memory card or internal mem) and once I opt to save it, the Fuze just hangs with the "Windows thinking" ball spinning. After a while it goes back to "Albums" and the recently shot picture isn't there.
I implemented the GPS fix and have been toying in Advance Config -- but I don't think any of those changes should have affected the camera. Even weirder, the picture counter is incrementing and I do have open storage on both the card and internal.
Any ideas?
- Matt
same thing happened to me.
Turns out autoconfig has a bug for the fuze.
For the camera options in autocofig
there's something called portrait, and was initially disabled.
changing it to enable breaks the camera.
took me days to figure that out...l o l

Thanks! That was the problem and now the camera works fine! Is there a FAQ or something this should go into? Without your help I would never have found that.

haa..np at all..just sharing something that i've found out after hours of hard resetting, flashing, installing, etc... l ol
maybe tomorrow'll be you helping me...
cheers!

Thanks!
I had this problem too, on both my Sprint Touch Pro and AT&T Fuze. Wouldn't save in photo mode (though video, contacts photo, panorama etc. modes were okay). There was no error message on the Fuze so I didn't realize there was a problem until I went looking for some pictures and couldn't find them. After I figured out what has going on I checked the Sprint version to see if it had the same problem. The Sprint Pro at least gives an error message about not being able to save the file.
I had installed Advanced Config on both devices, so I thought it might be one of the settings in there that had killed the camera. However, telling AC to restore all settings didn't fix it so I've been tearing my hair out looking for other causes. Fortunately I found this thread before rendering myself completely bald.
Is this a bug in AC, or was I wrong in my assumption that "restore all settings" would restore everything to default?
I wonder how many people with Fuzes have this problem but don't know about it due to the lack of an error message.
Cheers,
Elizabeth
Thanks, saved me hours. My pictures would save sometimes, but only half of the picture. Works perfectly again now.
glad someone helped you out!

Thank you for sharing. Can't say how much time you saved me but you did!
Some searches I used to find this were:
raphael camera issue
raphael camera pause
raphael camera saving problem
touch camera issue
touch camera pause
touch camera saving problem
omg! this has bugged for the last month or so, and i've been too busy to do a good search on it! i thought i didn't try the right combination. i don't remember changing anything with AC, still thanks so much for the solution funnysam
Does new Autoconfig version fix the bug?
The latest version is 3.3.0.0.
Does anyone know if that bug was fixed?
I ask (instead of providing feedback from my own experience) because I had the older version installed first, and then installed the new version over it, so maybe the bug persisted.
AdvConfig 3.3 doesn't list the option for portrait now.

Hmm, interesting.
I performed a "Reset all settings" did a soft reset, and the option for the Portrait is now visible, with "Enabled (default)" selected.
Once I disabled that option, camera is working great.

Same problems, and this works for me
Thanks, Bros
I'm using AC3.3 and have some weird camera issues. The closest option I can see in AC3.3 is to "Encode photos in portrait mode" and have NO selected. Is this the option you guys are talking about?
Yes. That's the option.
For me, that fixed the issue of the camera taking *forever* to save the picture and then display the options buttons. Even if I left the camera to finish, the picture never saved.
And, it didn't matter whether the shot was landscape or portrait - with that option enabled, the problem persisted until that setting was disabled.
Too bad, because that would be a nice feature!
Thank you!!!
This problem has been plaguing me for the last 2 days. Seems that whenever I get my Fuze working just the way I like, something else happens to irritate the crap outta me. Thanks for posting this!
Hm.. I'm using Advanced Config 3.3 as well and it doesn't display the portrait option. Does anybody know the registry setting this is modifying?
I am glad I stumbled across this series of posts. My experience with the Autocofig Bug gave me several days worth of heartburn. Thank you for the help!! It was much appreciated!!!

Jittering In Call Options & No wallpaper motion effect after 5.1.1 update

Hi, I recently updated my S6 G920F to 5.1.1 Build Number XXU2POGJ
Ever since the update, the wallpaper motion effect is gone. The toggle button to turn it off on doesn't work. Furthermore, I wiped cache and now the toggle button is not even there anymore.
Has anyone else had these issues?
Also when I make a call I get the options 'Live Vid', 'Share', 'Bluetooth', 'Speaker', 'Keypad' , 'Mic'.
Before this, I used to get the option 'Add Call', 'Extra Volume', 'Bluetooth', 'Speaker', 'Keypad' , 'Mic'.
I can only see the options regarding 'Add call extra' after I press show keypad and then minimise keypad. Also when I make a call, it jitters between the two options as if the phone is confused as to which options to display.
Its really annoying :/
All of this are improvements of the last update. Enjoy!

But, I would expect Samsung to just put an option to disable it rather than remove it all together. (Regarding Wallpaper Motion Effect).
Also, regarding the In-Call options am I the only one?
Oh wow, just realized this should be posted in the Q&A section, mods can this be moved plz.
*bump* anyone else with these issues?
Wallpaper motion effect also not working in mine after update.

Cannot Enable SRGB Mode

Hi Everyone,
Under Developer Options, I've been unable to enable SRGB mode. When I select it and exit out of Developer Options, nothing changes whatsoever on the screen. When I go back into the Developer Options, the SRGB mode is back to being unchecked. No matter how many times I enable it, I get the same exact result. Doesn't seem to work. Is anyone else having the same experience? Thanks!

Yes, it's a bug, will be fixed in a future update. Currently, sRGB toggle is non-functional. In the future, sRGB / vivid color profile switcher will be part of display settings rather than developer options.
Hi Ryan,
Did u notice any slight red/pink tint on white backgrounds. I see it in my U11. I mean the red tint is not as bad as on HTC 10 but it is definitley there?
Thanks,
Rajesh

Help! Annoying BUG screen overlay.

I have a bug that I can't fix on my redmi note 6 pro.
Pixels remain dead for long periods of time. For example, if I am reading a pdf and return to the home screen, transparent parts of the pdf still appear on the screen, usually at the top. These overlays change frequently, and there may occasionally be none. The darker the screen that I have open the less I notice them.
-I detected the error right after changing some settings in nova launcher, so I tried changing settings, resetting the app, trying other launchers, but the problem persists.
-Of course I tried to restart the device several times.
-If I take screenshot the overlays do not appear.
I have the Havoc ROM. I don't know if it's a problem with the ROM, the launcher or something else. Can anybody help me?

What you are experiencing is normal for Redmi phones with Tianma displays (its called screen burn-in). Even I have that problem. Well there is a fix. If your kernel supports configuring RGB like mine or say your ROM has option for RGB controls. What you can do is set RGB to 95, 95, 95 from live display option in settings.

Help with my oneplus 6t

So I can't explain what I did to cause this problem as it occurred while I was sleeping and apparently on top of my phone and the screen was not locked, so I hope someone will have some idea of what I did so I can undo it.
So when I woke up and looked at my screen the layout bounds were showing and anytime I touched on anything it was as if my phone screen were moving in slow motion. So I made my way to my developer options and turned off show layout bounds hoping it would fix everything, but all it did was fix that it still continued to move slow and still is a week later and it's driving me crazy. Like when I swipe to open my notification bar or my app drawer it very slowly slides out. It doesn't affect games or when I'm on an app only my phone settings and menus and screens. Anyone know what I may have done to cause this or know how to fix it?
