[Q] Nexus 5 camera does not record video

My wife has Nexus 5 (it is completely stock and unrooted with unlocked bootloader) running running Android 4.4.2. Recently, the stock camera app stopped recording videos. Tapping the record button does not do anything while camera works perfectly in photo mode. I factory reset the phone but the problem persists. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

lock the bootloader and send it back

Try to clear data and cache from camera in settings.
If that doesnt work either and you really have done the factory reset, you have to send it to repair bc of an hardware deffect. :crying:

I will try that but I think factory resetting clears cache, anyway. The phone camera worked fine previously but now suddenly it stopped.
Thanks anyway.

I have the same problem, when I change the camera app to record nothing happens when I press the red record button. I think the problem started when I upgraded to 4.4.2

And you flashed the right one? Hammerhead-4.4.2
Like i said before, if that doesnt help, you have to send it back to get a replacement.
You need to uncompress each download before use, which creates a new directory for that exact download. That directory contains a ./flash-all.sh script, which handles the various operations, installs the necessary bootloader, baseband firmware(s), and operating system. Note that this operation deletes all user data by default

I did not flash anything. The phone was OTA updated. Please note that the phone received OTA update and when I applied it, it completed its process but did not update (it was still on older android version) and this happened several times (I mentioned this on a separate thread here on XDA old post).

I downgraded Nexus 5 from Android 4.4.2 to 4.4 and now the camera is working fine. But I am afraid of updating it back to 4.4.2.

Yes, I did it. Flashed the stock 4.4.2 and everything seems to work fine. However, when I tried updating using OTA after downgrading the update failed and stopped with "Error" message. After flashing 4.4.2 from scratch will hopefully allow smooth future OTA updates. Thanks everyone.

Glad you worked it out!
Good thing is - you got a Nexus, so its easy to flash all the stuff and go back to stock/factory image/recovery/...
:highfive:

Any update on this? I have this exact problem. No unlock, not root just pure OTA stock.
1. Video does not record. You press the red button and no timer comes up.
2. A VID_20140126_224910.mp4.tmp file is created 395.54 KB.
3. Time lapse works as do all the other camera functions.
4. The basic Google FAQ has generic instructions if an app does not work so I followed these.
5. in safe mode the camera works fine.
6. Power off and on again. The Video Camera then works fine and creates normal .mp4 files.
Things I have done that may affected the Camera in the first place;
1. Clear cache.
2. Put a .thumbnails file in DCIM to stop the gigantic .thumbnail folder being created.
3. Running nova launcher.
Unlikely these are a factor as I isolated them as an issue and rebooted but worth a mention just in case.
Camera works but have found the it subsequently stopped working again and had to repeat the Google FAQ steps to fix an app.

To answer my own question I found the uninstalling Said It_1.3.37.apk fixed the problem and just to prove it reinstalling brought the problem back.

[Q] Front camera is not working

When I was using stock rom 4.2.2 .17 I tried to open my camera. then suddenly I got Error! Camera not Available. I tried Third Party Applications but that did not help, but it turned out that the front camera, the back camera and the flash light not working at all. I did a factory reset and reflashed the stock rom and I formatted my SD card but still the issues not solved. So I flashed CM11 then the back camera and the flash light work again :good: .. but the front camera still not working at all. any ideas gays?

Maybe try flashing older rom, and then via USB just update software.?
I've got cm11 and it's not same camera .apk as Sony.
If that does not help, try to extract that camer .apk from cm11 and just put it in your phone (remove stock camera apk).

I will try this, but I'm thinking of changing the KERNEL to see if that's could make it work

I have the same exact problem, but no solution yet.

I got the same problem too after manually updating to lollipop .. Consulted with the honor online support.. He suggested for a factory reset ....
And it worked.. All the motion sensors are working again.. double tap to wake and gestures working too..
Take a backup before u factory reset .. And delete all internal storage data wen asked during factory reset..
After reset restore all ur files from the backup .

Same problem, plus battery drain faster than kitkat. Also heat problem up to 47 degree celcius for waze GPS.
Huawei suck for developing ROM, better get Meizu or Xiaomi.

thanks Nemankunal,
your advice worked, i too had problems with motion controls (like no double-tapping, flip over to mute,etc.)..but after doing factory data reset and then again re-enabling motion controls it works perfectlly..

factory reset give more problem

Camera doesn't load

Hi everybody,
I'm back with a new problem in my Honor 8 (FRD-L04)... I was one of the user who installed the faulty version 15.0 of the Magisk update, so as you can imagine my phone went into bootloop and had to go all over from a backup I did the past September. I was running the firmware version B385, and because I lost many important things for no backing up lately, I decided I would just update to the firmware version B389. My phone was rooted, so I had to flash a stock recovery and do a full package download for the update. Everything went smooth and the update worked well. I had to do a full wipe because after the update the bootloader locked and I unlocked it to root the phone once again. This happened 2 days ago, and today I tried to use the camera and this is were everything started going down. The camera simply doesn't load, if I clear the data and cache of the app and reopen the app, it shows the initial screen where you need to swipe it to start using the camera but after that it goes in some kind of opening closing loop, until finally it closes. When I try to open it again, it stays in a black screen until it closes. I have restarted the phone and cleared the dalvik/cache in TWRP but the problem persists. I don't know if this is important, but after starting the camera app and failing launching it, the flashlight stops working too. If i restart the phone, and start the flashlight it works well. I have been thinking in reinstalling the camera app, but I can't find the apk for it.
Hope somebody can help me with this small issue, so thanks in advanced

Thanks for replying Rommco05... You mean to downgrade to the B385 update? or rollback to B381?
I have found the update.zip file for the B389 upgrade here http://gsmtube.com/android-tips-tri...89-android-7-0-nougat-update-europe-9747.html but the links appear to be broken..
Rommco05, can you help me how to downgrade? I'm a noob at this and your help would be greatly appreciated! thanks
