Hi
I tried installing a port of the pixel 4s camera app onto my pixel 2, and have been having problems with my camera ever since.
The stock camera app does not work at all, it just closes if i try to open it, but i can get the front camera to work in snapchat.
Occasionally the rear camera will pop up in snapchat, but it wont focus.
When i restart my phone and try to open snapchat i get a message saying it cannot connect to the camera, but eventually it will open and my front camera will work again.
I've tried factory reseting, unrooting and flashing the stock images, but its still not working.
I was able to capture some error messages on ADB which ive attatched.

I was planning on replacing the battery and screen (the screen cracked way before any of this happened) but i dont want to spend the $100 if the camera isnt going to work.
I've also thought about trying to replace the camera, but again dont want to spend the extra money if its not going to do anything.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks
Wife's phone having same issue. Factory resets haven't fixed. Phone isn't rooted. What's easiest way to downgrade camera? Current build is 7.2.018.

1. Backup your old Camera.apk or rename to Camera.apk.bak
2. Flash via ClockworkMod Recovery.
To get back to Stock Camera --> Flash this : http://www.multiupload.com/JDGVXRRQ00
Enjoy !
So has anyone taken good shots yet !
This does NOT belong in Development, it belongs in Themes and Apps, where it has been moved. Now I'm cleaning up the thread. Continue on with the pertinent discussion.
flash via recovery?
Does it have panorama mode?
How is the pic quality here? I was with my SGSII till I sold it to pic a note...and I know that there were always issues with alternative camera apps, strangely enough the samsung camera was always the number one when it came to pic quality.
Can anyone confirm that antishake works for video too?
I find it incredible hard to get video of my 2-yo daughter in decent quiality running with SGN after her. Overall quality is ok actually, but i cant watch the result as i get sick after ca. 30 sec because of shaking image
I have a Verizon GS3 using CyanogenMod 10.1.3. When I take a picture using the flash, it looks like this.

When I don't use the flash, it looks normal:
I enabled the LED flashlight using CyanogenMod's Torch app, and then took a picture with the camera, and it looked normal. The problem only happens when the flash is triggered by the Camera app.
Does anyone know what would cause it or how to fix it?

Same thing happens occasionally on my Sprint S3 with stock Android. Not every picture taken with flash but here and there. Very annoying. Still looking for a fix. If you found one let me know. Cheers!
Hi there!
I found something quite strange when I use any 3rd Party Camera App (A Better Camera, Google Camera...) with flash turned on:
When I take a picture it is divided into a brighter and a darker half like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Only the stock camera doesn't show this strange behaviour:
First I thought that maybe it had to do with bad timing between flash and shutter so I tried exactly the same with an image situation where the flash is turned on but doesn't illuminate anything:
The same result. When the flash is turned on something happens during the processing of the image.
Can you reproduce this behaviour?
I almost never take pictures with the flash turned on so this is no big deal for me.
Still I am curious.
Device is a rooted OPO 64GB with Stockrom Build KTU84P

I found this problem too on my 16gb opo. Problem only exist with Google Camera and the one with Whatsapp. Haven't try other camera app yet.
With stock camera it's just fine.
Do you guys have any updates on this? I just noticed the same issue :\

There's no fix for this, other than ensuring that you use the stock camera when you need to take a photo with the flash enabled.

I've had broken touchscreen to change. I've bought touchscreen with LCD and frame and then I did moved everything else from old frame the the new one. When I finally had a possibility to test if other things were fine, one of them was not working properly - front camera.
Problem:
Rear camera works great, but when i switch to the front one there is no image, just blurred picture of rear cam preview. No errors, I could still switch from front to rear by tapping camera button and then switch camera button.
What I've already tried:
-Clearing apps data and cache.
-Wiping cache.
-Upgrading/Downgrading to Oreo/Nougat and then doing everything above.
-I've bought another front camera and swapped it, but the results where the same.
Motherboard (or whatever it is called in smartphone that has cpu/gpu/ram on it) had no visible damage at all.
I most likely could miss out on something and I'm running out of ideas
Some screenshots (clean install):

There is no point in repairing that phone.
No one of user's did that beacause it's trash. You can bought it heap as hell~
Don't think that someone will help you~
Hi there,
I'm a new owner and the OOS11 upgrade was available for me out-of-the-box so I've been using that since day one. After first setting up the phone and loading my apps full screen worked as expected and respected the camera notch setting (show/hide). I have it set to show the camera hole so apps should all work full screen.
Everything was working as expected until I picked the phone up the other morning and full screen is broken. It's now some hybrid combination of show/hide. It works perfectly if I hide the camera but now, with the camera showing my apps don't go full screen, see the screen shots below.
With the camera hidden WhatsApp displays correctly:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
With the camera not hidden WhatsApp doesn't render properly full screen:
With the camera hidden Asphalt 8 displays correctly:
With the camera shown Asphalt 8 renders incorrectly:
This occurs for all apps and prior to this all apps were working as expected full screen. I've toggled just about every setting I can find and even removed some software/apps to see what might be the problem but I have run out of ideas.
Short of a factory reset, does anybody have any insight or suggestions?
TIA
Bump.
Surely I'm not the only one?
