Question Is anyone else having this issue with the camera? - Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

So I finally got an s22 ultra after the whole fiesta was Samsung locking my previous phone because the person I bought it off of scammed me. Only to find out I can't take a video of anything at all unless I restart my phone.
If I open my camera on my phone and I hit the record button it'll act like it's recording but if you look up at the top the timer has not started and then if you click stop to go and verify if it threw something in the gallery as if you actually recorded something nothing is there. So I know it's not actually recording.
Here's a link to a YouTube video that kind of shows exactly what I'm talking about pay attention to the top where the timer is when you click the record button the timer doesn't start and it's not recording.

May be dumb to ask, but are you on the latest firmware? which version/firmware are you on?

Yep this was an issue last update as well as this one. Current version: S908U1UEU2AVDC. I guess I worded my question wrong I know I'm not the only one with this issue I just more or less want to know if anybody has insight on if they fixed it or not. Because if you do a quick Google search of s22 ultra camera issues there's a whole slew of articles and post on samsung.com forums of people griping about this very issue except none of the articles seem to give a resolution that works and samsung.com forum mods are completely unhelpful

Can't replicate that issue. If you clear app cache and or system cache does the issue return?

Just tried mine. Counter is working.

Just an FYI so Samsung did confirm it was an issue select individuals are facing. They will be addressing it in the next update according to several Samsung news websites including this one pictured below

New firmware today. Thought I heard it had something with the camera. AVE4 for T-Mo

[Q] A cpl WP7 questions

I browsed and couldn't find if these were already answered, but here I go. Using DVP.
1) Contacts pictures when they call, even when they are pinned to tile on home screen are blurry. Is this a WP7 issue? The pictures are not the issue, they were taken with Sony NEX5, and are good quality. I emailed an original pic for one, and then did a Zune sync with the other.
2) My browser bounces around. If I am reading an article, the browser pops down about 1/3 of a page, like it's scrolling, and then pops back into place. Any site, no rhyme or reason.
I think the blurry pictures thing is a known bug. Check the bugs thread.
As the browser thing, I've never heard of that one before. But you never know, sometimes my phone's camera button won't wake it up, and I've never seen that bug noted anywhere else either.

The picture issue is not a bug of the phone but a limitation of google (or windows live)
The pictures are scaled down considerably by google when the contacts are synced and these synced pictures hence look distorted..

That's because you're covering the proximity sensor with your other hand. That's a feature to sto pthe camera button activating the phone when it's in your pocket. Try using the camera button while keeping your mitts away from the sensor and it'll work every time.

I was thinking that might be the issue. Is there anything I can do to fix that issue? Or it just is what it is when you sync the accounts? Obviously not a big deal, but a little annoying.
As for the browser jumping around, I'll get some video of it in action in the next cpl days.

Recorded video and YouTube playback errors

Noticed today that when I record a video on my Honor 8 I can not play it back. It's just a black screen with audio. Also, the YouTube app just "loads" - good 4G LTE signal or over WiFi. Might be separate issues. Cleared the cache and uninstalled the YouTube updates.
Anyone else seeing this or know of a fix?

if you have installed magisk uninstall and it should work i had the same issue and it went away as soon as i uninstalled magisk with the provided zip on the thread after 21 day and couple of hours of troubleshooting
I don't have that installed.

But you might have another app that messes with the video driver.
Unless anyone pinpoints the exact cause I suggest you backup with Huawei Backup to SD or PC, factory reset, setup Google account and nothing more. THEN test to see if it behaves the same.
If it does, then you might have a malfunctioning unit.
If it doesn´t then it´s either an app or a file messing with your ROM. Try to restore your backup one-by-one app until you see the problem appearing so that you can identify the app.

How about xposed?
Hi There, we recommend you back up the device and perform a "master reset" to see if that fixes the issue. To perform a master reset, you will go into your menu and click settings, then go to Back Up & Reset. Follow the prompts on the screen to back up and factory reset, then continue by following the steps to restart and activate the device (note: you will need to have your Google email/password present at startup).
If you still can't get playback on your videos to work properly, you should call in to our knowledgeable Honor customer service center at +1-844-524-6667 and they can further diagnose the situation you are having with video recording and playback. Thanks for your question! (NS)
Video playback seems to be a general weakness on the phone. I have experienced occasional glitches as well as battery drainage. It could be that the hardware (imaging processor) is weak.
Do a factory reset and see if it works
I'd actually like to raise awareness about this issue, my device works great other than this video issue arising and is progressively getting more annoying every time it happens.
There was this previous thread where, someone else had this problem and someone said that it was a "Known Bug", but I'm not sure where the source for that information is. Thread HERE.
I've done two factory resets since I got the phone in hopes that the problem clears up but it still happens from time to time, and the only way to fix it is to reboot the phone.
A summary of the issue is this:
- Youtube videos only load, but don't play. If you have youtube red, the video plays once you leave the app and audio only plays in the background, and when you return to the youtube app the video continues to play, audio only, with a black screen.
- Playing recorded videos from the video app, or any video app for that matter (Built in Video app, MX Player), videos only show a black screen, and plays audio only.
- Playing videos in Chrome, or anything that uses the android WebView (Such as Reddit while looking at GfyCat''s), doesn't load or shows a black screen
- The only way to get it all working again is to Reboot the device. However, in some rare cases, it magically starts working again.
I did speak to a live support agent on the honor website (David B) about the problem about a week ago in order to try to raise awareness of this issue, in hopes that someone takes notice and finds a workaround or fix for the problem.
I know for a fact that this issue isn't caused by Root, Xposed or anything related to unlocking the bootloader as the issue happened with a fresh restore, and an unmodified device a few days into owning my honor 8.
In conclusion, we need to see and know how many total are having this problem, and how many people haven't had this issue at all, just to ensure that those having the problem (Like me) don't have a defective unit. If only a small percentage of us are experiencing this issue then there is a possibility that those who have this issue like me have a defective device and would need to take action quickly to somehow obtain a new device.
P.S: I've been trying to figure out what triggers this issue to happen and what 'Magically' fixes it while the device is on, without rebooting, ever since I got my device. I'll report back if I ever come across something significant
Update Sept22: I can confirm that there is some issue happening with the hardware decoder as in MX Player video doesn't play when HW Decode is selected but works when SW Decode is selected. Still trying to figure out how to get it working again from its broken state without having to reboot the phone
It seems that there is a software issue which makes the phone unable to use HW decoders correctly
its a reported problem with honor 8, many users are facing the same issue, hope honor fixes it soon with a software patch.
It released an update for both US and EU model, now it's time to wait and see

When streaming a video my fault is. It plays a bit the video pauses but audio continues as normal. This can be fixed by rewinding or fastforwarding a little but same happens again ever so often 3 times per half hour playback

Pester Honor team for a fix to this software issue through their FB and their official forums. A bugfix update will do the need.
I know updates etc talking to Honor n that .If enough of us complain on here it could be considered to link them to here to see for them self errors in software... infanct I know a couple of official Honor mods are actually on this forum. We want them to go nag the heads of swu
I just talked to Miles of the hihonor website live chat, and he told me the following:

YouTube / Video playback Issues for anyone?

Anyone having Video Playback issues like on youtube or Videos from whatsapp.. Few seconds into playing the videos the video gets stuck and quickly the audio and video goes out of sync. Am i the only one with this issue or there are other people too ? if i see more people having this issue i will reach out to HTC.. else will do a warranty replacement for mine.
Note- Phone is not rooted, so no magisk module is present to cause this problem
Update- Sorry forgot to update this info, I had reached out to HTC and as per them one should try clearing app cache and restart. I did clear the cache using various methods including by booting into recovery, that seemed to fix the problem for sometime, though this kept coming back.
I've watched a bunch of YouTube videos since my U11 arrived 1.5 weeks ago and never had this problem at all. Never watched WhatsApp videos yet, as I don't get those very often.

Thanks for your reply, seem like an issue just for me(Unless other people also report the same), will probably need replacement.
The Facebook app has crashed for me several times when trying to play video, not every time though. Haven't had any problems with Youtube or VLC.
All of this sounds like software issues in my opinion, personally I would try first to clear data/cache of all apps affected, uninstalling app updates and reinstalling them and also a factory reset before going for a replacement.

According to HTC the solution is to go to Recovery mode and wipe cache partition, it worked for me.
Here is what i did and the below excerpt is taken from HTC's link which they sent me
With the phone powered off, follow these steps:
Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button while powering the phone on.
Continue to hold the VOLUME DOWN button until the Bootloader screen is displayed.
Press the VOLUME DOWN button until Recovery is selected. Press the POWER button to select.
The phone will appear to reboot and the screen will appear black for 15-30 seconds. When the recovery screen is displayed, follow these steps:
Hold VOLUME UP button and then press and release POWER.
Press the VOLUME DOWN button repeatedly until wipe cache partition is highlighted on the screen.
Press the POWER button to select.
Press the VOLUME UP button repeatedly after the process completes
Press the POWER button to select reboot system. The phone will reboot normally.

Just to chime in, mine lagged and skipped frames and was it was obvious when it happened. I just forward and rewind the video and everything went back normal. Will apply the fix if it becomes persistent.
Thanks for the cache wipe solution, do let us know if your video playback has anymore problem after a while after applying this fix.

Turns out the sound mod I had installed may had been the cause of my lip sync issue. It was the Viper4Android magisk module.

I have EXACTLY this issue, has been like it since I received the phone and before installing any of my own apps. It seems a little intermittent as doesn't happen on ALL videos or streams but does on most, including videos take by the phone itself - really irritating - it's not the app I'm playing back on either as it happens on all three apps installed.
Did you resolve this with the cache clearing method? I would be interested to know if it worked before obliterating my app data.
Clearing the cache partition solved the lip sync issue for me. I didn't notice it before on YouTube. Maybe it was after today's maintenance update, but I can't be sure. Anyway, it's ok now.
I also have this problem.
U11 with 6gb/128gb. I have the problem when I use Google photos to play a video shot with the camera.
If I use VLC to play the video, no problem.
It's quite annoying.
Same issue here. I play videos from websites such as news websites and the sync is terrible. I will try clearing the cache partition and see if there is any difference. It already been factory reset!
I just wanted to chime in that I'm getting the same issue. I'm going to try the cache clearing and I'll let you know if it works. All video tends to be behind by 2-5 seconds, which makes anything beyond music playback impossible.
I think the VLC app may be the culprit here.... I deleted it after I noticed a post here that mentioned it and so far it seems to be working.

I was having this issue too and it drove me nuts. It only started happening recently so I traced my steps and figured out what i did that caused it.
It was the Magisk Module that fixes 60fps video recording and slow motion video for the GCam. Removed that module and instantly YouTube was back to normal.
Hope this helps a few people.

Nope.

Those of you on pie with camera issues, let's make some noise

Those of you who think you solved the problem by "doing a clean flash" feel free to show yourself out, you're not helping us we've already done that. Some of us several times.
OnePlus forums are broken for me, I can't register, it keeps just sending me back to the OP home page. Several people have the same problem there. So this is the last hope for those of us with pie camera issues, I don't know that OP has acknowledged camera issues so if we want any help, the best thing we can do is work together, make some noise, so OP can actually see the problem. Personally, no amount of reflashing, downloading, etc will fix the issue on pie for me. I'm rooted with Magisk and unlocked bootloader obviously, that's it. No kernels or custom "ROM" or anything.
Again, if you've solved it, good for you, get out. You have nothing to contribute to this thread and I know this forum is absolutely loaded with trolls who just blame everyone else for every ROM problem.

Yep, my friend also works in testing firmware and hardware compatibility on android phones and as soon as I told him more than just a few people (I've seen at least 15 different people report this issue, and let's be honest a lot of people won't bother to report it and even more people don't have accounts here to post it if they do have the issue) had it he said sounds like firmware issue, possibly related to hardware revisions.
Boring explanation warning: For example there may be very slight differences in say CPU or camera hardware, enough that it passed bench testing or was supposed to not even require bench testing because it was guaranteed 100% compatible, but as time goes on, maybe just one line of code somewhere does something that causes the very slight difference to manifest itself in a way that becomes apparent to everyday users.
That's just one possibility out of dozens though.
I agree in 100%, it's something broken with camera on Oxygen based on Pie.
I use the stock ROM, i did full wipe etc without positive effects.
We wan't fix or update to use the phone normally...
What is the Camera issue ?
Maybe if you are specific and tell us what is wrong with the Camera ?
How can anybody help if you can not be bothered to say what the problem is ?
.... Do not have kittens, I done a Google search and all I found was several months ago some talk about focusing.
I took some pictures ... not many but so far so good.
I would be more than happy to complain .... what do I look for ?

For example: Snapchat app. After 5s app frozen, black screen. On other phones everything ok...
Oneplus 6 & Tapatalk
For me, when I open snapchat, the camera will usually work for 5 to 20 seconds, no more, then the image freezes for a second before it goes black, and then every app that uses the camera for a little while will freeze/crash. Including the stock camera app if you try to access camera features in those apps.
Say I just turned on my phone, I go to open snapchat and the screen works as a viewfinder like normal for maybe 5-20 seconds, then the image freezes for a second before it goes black. The snapchat app no longer responds. If I try to open the camera in another app (say discord, stock camera app, instagram, etc) that app then freezes too. Half the time the only way to fix it is to force close all involved apps.
It goes back to working again within 5-10 minutes but you only have generally 5-10 seconds to take a picture before it freezes and does the same thing.
Occasionally when I open the stock camera app after snapchat freezes, it closes itself and a little toast notification on the bottom of the screen says "Unknown error". Usually camera app opens fine after that.
I think this tread explains very well and in detail, the REAL problems with OP6...
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/oneplus-6-camera-takes-blurry-and-noisy-pictures.864226/
Painted faces, lack of detail, wrong temperature colour....etc,etc....
I am also experiencing these issues since i upadated to official Pie, didn't have any problem with DP1 & DP3 thought. Also i only have this on Snapchat, didn't experience any problems with the official camera.
Let's hope it's a known issue and that it will be solved in the next update.
Where exactly do we complain?
I have the same issue as well. My fiance does too. I'm on xXx module with EX kernel and my fiance is 100% stock with a locked bootloader.
I've done a clean flash before as well.
Sounds like it's either a snapchat issue or OP issue. I think there was some notes from other users having issues taking pictures with WhatsApp since pie. Could be related

Try emailing both snapchat support and posting on the OnePlus 6 official forum (on the oneplus website). I feel like it's not snapchat because it's happened on other apps for me.
I am on OB4 and have some other camera issues. When U open the camera app and select Timelapse all I get is the video capture screen and no option to set the time lapse setting. I alse get the standard 1x , 2x zoom option and it all it does is zoomes.
focus sucks
I'm on stock Pie, no root - some examples here how the focus socks: auto mode, (1) normal photo (2)about 3.5 zoom (3)~x5 (4) x8 I have gopro modified handlebar attachment on my bike, so consider it as if those pics were taken still and steady from a tripod.
focus sucks cont.
My phone/camera field stand - 2 pics, the 3rd pick shows zoomed detail of one of the islands there taken with my cheap, pocket Casio EX-ZR800 which has unbelievable zoom: x18 optical + x36 so called 'SR Zoom, does 1000fps as well, 224x64only let's hope they bring some of that technology to phones soon.

I also experience trouble with the camera. Zoomed in using snap. When I take pictures with stock camera app the shutter seems rly slow. Bad focus etc. Everything worked fine before Android pie. Good thread!
I was waiting to see if it would immediately **** up after I posted this, but it's been a few days since the last snapchat update and I no longer have the problem at all, at least that I ever noticed.

Same here. At first I thought it's cause I don't let it focus anymore since that causes the issue but it seems to be resolved for now. Now time for the rest of the pie issues to be fixed.
Agree. Happening with all the apps which use the system's camera. However, If we use the Camera app then it will work. but any 3rd party app that uses system camera it got stuck and crash.

Question Instagram video story weird tapping sound issue, does this happen to anyone else ? Is my device faulty ? - Snapdragon version

Hi y'all, hope you're having a great day.
On S22 Ultra when I record a video inside Instagram stories or Snapchat, the recorded video starts with a loud tapping sound. It doesn't happen on the camera app. Why is this happening ? Is it a software or hardware problem ? Can someone please check if it's only happening on me by shooting a video on Instagram stories ? — I'm using the Snapdragon version.
I really don't want this to be a hardware issue I bought the phone yesterday and I don't know what to do if it's a hardware issue, I don't want to send it for a repair since it's a brand new phone and this phone costed even more in my country. Can someone try please ?

Maybe someone who has Instagram or Snapchat (unfortunately I don't) will chime in. Does the audio record normally after the initial pop with no other distortions? Have you tried other social media sites/ apps to try to replicate this? If you have and haven't heard it then it might be just the apps themselves and hopefully updates might address this bug in the future.

It records normally after that first second pop, and it only happens on Instagram and Snapchat from what I see. It happens on both front and back camera. It doesn't happen on the camera app. I really hope someone tries it, and it's not a hardware issue.

Not hardware issue, more of a IG issue. I guess that's IG turning on the microphone. Just tested with the same result, and noticeable louder if you have headphones on prior recording.

By same result do you mean it did the same noise as mine ?
Yes, there was a tap at the beginning
have you tried to uninstall and reinstall instagram?
it sounds like IG is turning on the Mic when you attempt to record a video

Yeah, nothing changed. Did it happen to you too like on my video ? This shouldn't happen normally. I don't think the problem is on Instagram since Snapchat does the same.
still not a hardware issue per se, more of a program issue, other programs do not have this issue so it might be apps that will need to develop a fix or samsung needing to software fix this. and since the camera app is fine, it points to apps needind to make adjustments
Does anyone know where I can report this to Samsung ?

Samsung Members app.
but then again this happens only on 3rd party apps so not sure what Samsung can do there as it would be the app developers who need to fix this.

samsung members app > get help > error report. Reproduce the issue first and don't group with any other issues when submitting a ticket.
