Running stock Moto G 4.4.2 ATM, and updated to 174.44.1 yesterday, unlocked and rooted using TWRP v2.6.3.0. Very occasionally, when I want to use the camera I get the message "Unfortunately Camera has stopped" and I get a blank screen. I can exit the camera app and occasionally it will work if I force stop the camera app and try it again. I have also tried other camera apps, but get the same results. I suspect that they all using the same Android api or something. The surefire way to get it working is to reboot the phone.
I have tried fixing permissions, wiping cache, dalvic, wiping camera app cache etc. Perhaps I have a physical camera problem? As I see zero reports of Moto G camera problems in this forum.
Any suggestions?

Hi there, I'm having the same problem! From what country is yours?
@GregoryDelaey Hi, Mine is a standard US model purchased from Amazon USA. In desperation I have just done a factory reset and re-installing everything again!

Hhhhmmm, bought mine in Belgium so it's a EU model. I did happen to install the stock camera app (from a nexus) a while ago, but deletet it a few days after that. Maybe it's because of that?
Well so far after doing the factory reset and re installing my apps the camera seems to be behaving. I too use a KK camera from the play store, only because it keeps things the same as on my other devices. Yesterday I found another thread reporting the same camera issues. We should join that thread. PS. We have a home in Holland although live 6 mnths in Mexico, so we are almost neighbors...

Just to let you know. Two days on and I have been working the camera app, quite a bit. It seems fine now. As mentioned I did a full factory reset and then installed everything back one by one. I didn't use Titanium or anything. So it was a bit of a pain, But the result seems to be a complete cure. :fingers-crossed:

The fact that you have a house in the Netherlands is quite cool!
And any idea why it behaves like that if you don't reset? Is it still working?
Yes four days now and the camera is stable. I try it regularly just to be sure. By factory reset, I mean factory fresh. Where the phone asks language, gmail account etc. Then I installed all my apps fresh from the play store. It took a while, but the result seems like it is worth it. Finally used TWRP to create a backup.

Ok, I will try this tomorrow and I'll report here wether it works or not.
GB version, same problem.
Rebotting saved my day.
Same problem here on the Indian version. Reboot makes it alright. anyone who knows why this is happening? Hope to get a fix soon.
Have 2 Moto G's and this problem occurs on both.
Camera fix
Ok so I've been testing the camera for 3 days now and it works just perfect. The only fix (for now) seems to be resetting the phone. You can find this under settings - Back-up and reset (don't know how this menu is called in English, as my phone is in Dutch).
Be aware, it WILL erase everything so make sure to back things up.
@GregoryDelaey Hi, I am pleased to hear that the effort resulted in a good outcome for you. I was convinced that my phone had a hardware camera problem. But its now 10 days and the camera so far is faultless. Yesterday I tried some other camera apps to see if I could improve the camera. One called Snap Camera did seem to give marginally better results. But in the end I decided to stay with the Kitkat version. It doesn't have HDR but I decided that I could achieve the same thing by photo editing on my PC.

Camera Update
Ok, so the last few days I got the error again. It appears when I start the camera app, then it crashes and after that I can start the app again and start taking pictures.
But today, an update for the camera was released on the play story, it says it has several bug fixes + support for android 4.4.2. I think this might be the update we were waiting for. I'll test it this weekend to see if it is.

I have camera issues as well, running CM11 on my European Moto G. I only noticed it when I actually tried to take a picture, the camera app would crash then. My wife has a stock Moto G and told me about a camera update yesterday, but she wasn't sure where it came from, only that she did not have to reboot. I was wondering whether I would have to flash a new radio to get this fix, but now that I know that it apparently came from the Play Store I'm not sure what to do atm .
Rebooting does help by the way.

Yes the new update comes from the play store and it's from Motorola themselves. They updated the camera app to be compatible with Android 4.4.2. so that means it won't crash anymore (at least for me it doesn't). Can't help you with your camera issue though, seeing that you're on a custom rom.
Does anyone else know how to solve this ?
Have you got any more info? When did it start? App you installed recently that might be responsible? Tried the usual restart/clear cache/factory reset?

I tried to do a factory reset but the lag still occured. When is Google going to release the next update ? The 1st of next month ?
Since the first week of owning (got in on the Verizon pre-orders), my pixel 2 will occasionally stall. It pauses for a few seconds and then resumes. Once or twice I get a system ui has stopped message, but typically not. It is most noticeable when scrolling, either in the news feed or Google Now or my texting app. But I've seen it while toggling a setting in the notification shade.
Updating to the Dec and then January update didn't help it. Unlocking 3 wks ago and installing a new kernel didn't help.
Is this similar to what you've experienced?

Yes and I also find the camera to be very unstable. For example, when I take a picture and tried to zoom in, it doesn't do anything. I have to double tap and then I am able to pinch the screen
All this sounds extremely uncharacteristic if this is a stock / unrooted Pixel 2.
I've noticed that facebook and facebook messenger not only consume tons of battery, but they are usually the culprits of hard stalls.
if it persists after the factory reset, I'd try to reflash a stock image if you know how to do this. Factory reset wipes everything and starts from scratch from the stock firmware, either that or just hang tight as the next update is coming soon for Feb. I'd reflash the new Feb image. Probably just a bug. Mine lately has also been tripping out, not lagging, but just acting random like brightness toggling, etc......... they appear to be bugs.

Not sure generally it's within the first 5 days of the month. Personally I'd like to see it this Fri the 2nd but it could not be released until next Monday the 5th which seems more probable.

If it were a bug it would be happening to everyone. Very very doubtful that Feb update would do anything for you since it's not a common issue. Id do what has been suggested and reflash the stock image.
Step one apply factory image, step 2 factory reset. Don't install any apps and check for issues, if it still has issues exchange for a different device. If it has no issues, it is an app or mod.

so, I have my phone on Sprint
checked in the settings, no update available
popped out Sprint SIM, inserted AT&T rebooted twice, checked update, voila PIE update OTA offered
after little bit of waiting and few clicks - all done, my Sprint PH1 Essential is now on Android 9 PIE
all seems to be running
recap:
*Sprint PH1, previously unlocked by method described here:
(https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3724135)
* inserted AT&T SIM
* reboot 2x (I just wanted to), got it provisioned and working
* checked, downloaded and installed OTA update A9/Pie
* phone upgraded without erasing anything, rebooted once
* while still on AT&T checked LTE and TXT, all works
* power off, swap SIM to Sprint
* power on, no problem, phone recognized Sprint and provisioned right away
* WiFi OFF, Sprint voice, data TXT all works
*WiFi back ON
awesome! got maybe one of first Sprint Android PIE!
side effect - screen gained deeper clarity and contrast, whoa! nice.
thank you Essential Team!
Android Pie on Sprint Essential phone
So I have an unlocked (bought on Amazon) Essential phone but because I am on Sprint it will not upgrade to Pie. I do not have access to another sim card from an alternate carrier so not sure how else I can upgrade.
Any ideas are much appreciated. Thanks

Well I received my Essential a few days ago from Amazon. I never have yet inserted my sim card because I am not using it until my protectors (screen etc.) come. I updated to 8.1 over wifi and got a notice to upgrade to pie. I was downloading Pie and this is without any carrier sim attached. I am wondering if you try to do a factory default without sim inserted would that give you the ability to check for updates and install 9 pie without sim. Then once updated and a reset insert sim . Like you said you did buy it unlocked from amazon and not sprint.
have you gotten Wifi calling to work with Sprint on a device with Pie installed? I'm upgraded but am missing the "Update Emergency Address" option.
Sprint version of Essential phone using the same method but Verizon SIM and only rebooted once. Android 9 OTA showed up after checking update. Thanks OP.

I am not using WiFi calling. No idea if this works
I reverted back to 8.1 July and have it back. I'm guessin that's why no Sprint update to Pie.
I'm on spring and running pie...everything works straight out of the box for me...no issues setting up wifi calling, rcs works...I didn't get the ota but I always use fastboot anyway...just turn off wifi calling and try to reactivate it
Flashing via the computer works too if you don't have extra sims from different companies.

Sideload the OTA file through recovery. No need to unlock bootloader.

you don't want to upgrade to 9.0 yet...wait for an update. 8.1 is better!!

Personal opinion. I feel that 9.0 is solid and is equal to 8.1. Not better or worse.

I upgraded to pie yesterday on my Essential phone and now my touchscreen doesn't work. My lock screen will show up and tell me to put my code in, but I can't do anything that actually requires me to use my finger on the screen.

To get to the menu press and hold power then press volume up. Almost positive that gets you into the menu. Then make your selection from there by volume up/down and power to select
I just got the OTA from Sprint last night. I have been checking at least once a day since release. So far so good. Haven't had any issues that I can see. I'll have to check wifi calling and other things people have mentioned.
Edit:. Seems my wifi calling was on by default...just haven't used the phone as you know...a phone lol.

Cons- No notch support, Pandora app control on Bluetooth devices currently does not work, and the UI is complete iPhone esk...do not care for the recents to app drawer layout either.
Pros- device runs a tad smoother and touch sensitivity is better.
All-in-all, I would agree but I am back on 8.1 and hopefully the next update will add notch support and Pandora BT app control will be fixed.
For those of you that have been patiently waiting on T-Mobile to update to pie it has finally happened.

Sorry here is different pic did not see the volume lo the original
So far the only issues I've had since the update is the Gestures not working, for some reason I had Google Messages replacing the stock app but texts would show up for a couple days in the stock pop up but reverted back to Google eventually, and I might be having an alarm issue but I'm still trying to figure it out. Oh, and some apps don't scale correctly when using the App Scaling settings, it worked properly on 8.0.
About 5 years later. I'm updating now

I'm running an unlocked LG G7 on T-Mobile and every time I check the update center it continues to say I have the latest version... even though I'm only on 8 and G710ULM10j. Any idea on how I can force the update somehow?
Le2125 on Nameless, however previous le2127 (converted to global) also had this while on OTA update....
Verizon network.
Every other day I'll suddenly get immediate dropped call when trying to dial out, anyone calling goes straight to VM.
Phone restart fixes it for a day or so and then it happens again.
Any ideas on where to start?

Custom roms are just that. Imperfect. I love using Lineage 20 I'm also on op9 global Na unlocked. It's almost perfect really though. Rcs working flawless and network. I find some small issue and msm back. Anything that is still receiving builds by the manufacturer is usually better than custom. Now after we stop getting sec patches and updates . I will indeed go to Lineage if device is still working. We still get A14 though. And A13 isn't bad at all rooted and pixel dialer features !!
This was the case with the OTA update as well.
I actually switched to the custom ROM hoping maybe there was something different.
