Just a securiy patch getting ready for 7.0.1
Only seeing BPI3 with the Verizon Upgrade Assistant Software on my Note 5 on the TotalWireless network. Updating now, maybe BPJ3 will show up once I finish this update.
EDIT:Wow, something is up, I just realized that I participated in the BPI3 update thread, now I'm wondering why it said I needed that update again, could have sworn I was already on it...Will check it out once the "upgrade" it is doing finishes. :?
EDIT2: It actually was BPJ3 that it upgraded to, I have the November 1 security patch now. Seems like the Upgrade Assistant Software is downloading something else now as well. It's about 30% done.
EDIT3: Guess it was a glitch of some sort, it downloaded the BPJ3 software twice, and now says I'm up to date. That was odd. Oh well, bring on 7.x.x!
Anyone has camera problems after the update? My pictures taken after the update in landscape mode are showing in protraits. On google photos they are also displayed in the wrong rotation. So the problem should be the camera not gallery. Really annoying...

Same on my phone, they do not automatically rotate. I took a video in landscape mode and copied it to a PC but it played back in VLC as portrait. The update also changed my brightness settings. I don't check auto anymore because it is always too dark.
I've just noticed that I no longer have control of the flash in auto mode after the update. The flash icon is grayed out. I can't be sure it's related to the Nougat update but it the most recent significant change to my phone.
Has anyone else experienced this?
EDIT: never mind, I figured it out. I was in HDR mode, not HDR auto. I didn't realize this disabled flash control.

I didn't realise the HDR was on too until I saw your edit :laugh:
Thanks! I thought I was going crazy.
I'm currently on February patch update and my Pixel 3 native camera app keeps crashing, it crashes if I use the camera with other apps, it also crashes when I click on my photo gallery, sometimes it even crashes when switching camera modes, anyone else having this issue? I have to force app close, clear cache and even restart my phone, also deleted app updates and reinstalled them.
Hi try maybe you have new updates in GooglePlay, WebView for Android

Hi! Thanks for the advice, I checked for updates but there are none, I even factory reseted the phone and wiped cache, installed March update and I'm still facing the same problem
Did you update to March 5 patch? There were some cameras fixes in that update.
I'm facing the same issue. Pixle 3 updated with the March update yesterday. Now, the camera will work once after restarting, then it will force close. If I try to change modes, it force closes. If I try to re-enter the app, it force closes. I deleted data/cache, uninstalled updates, rebooted into safe mode, and none of those things changed the problem. Frustrating.
I just downloaded March 2019 OTA security patch (PQ2A.190305.002) . Camera issues persist. It would open for the first a few tries. Then after a while it would take forever to find the view finder and would crash when I switch from camera to video. Not sure if this is related to camera but I cannot turn on the flash light by pulling down the quick access menu.

Yes, I did but the issue remains. It's frustrating
It seems like there's no support at all for this issue.

I know the feeling, I also tried all that you mentioned but none of them resolved this camera issue, I've sent many reports but there's no answer from Google support team. Even with third party camera apps the issue persists.

I also noticed an issue with the flash, if phone is charging it gives a overheat warning when trying to turn the flash on and doesn't allow it to be turned on. I think it was in video mode.
So I have a dilemma: I can RMA my current 3 months old Pixel 3 with buggy camera and risk of getting a refurbished one with the same buggy camera. Or I can wait for yet another OTA to fix my camera (the latest March OTA didnt fix my camera). What should I do? Should I wait for a few days to watch camera performance on the March OTA?

I've read in other forums that some people struggled with RMA cause it's a "software problem" and not a hardware problem according to Google technicians. And if the March OTA didn't fix the issue the same day, I don't think it will do it tomorrow or next week

Hi i came thru the RMA with faulty camera in Europe and i get a brand new Google pixel 3.
It's also started happening to me with my phone (bought in the original launch batch). I'm still on the Jan update (with Magisk, and haven't done the March one yet), but it just started happening the past couple of weeks making me think it's an update to the camera app/Play/something-else causing it.

I have contacted Google support team...they asked me if they can connect to my phone so they can see everything I'm doing on it...and after 30 min of troubleshooting they said I need replacement because nothing helped...so they sent me a new phone and after I have received it sent them my old one and even without cable, headphones,charger...now I have new phone and double of accessoriesDDD
Further update - booting into Safe Mode fixes the problem, so it's almost certainly related to another app which integrated with the Camera causing the crashes/freezes. I've uninstalled Twitter (which is camera integrated), but that didn't fix it.
Has anybody found the offending app?
Pixel 3
Same issue with rear camera unable to focus (tried factory reset, emptying cache, etc.). 1 out of every 10 photos comes out OK.
Glad I finally found other people with the same issue as me. My phone has the current software update as well as the camera app update. App opens up to the view finder totally black, same with other camera apps (snapchat, instagram). Tried booting into safe mode and the problem persists. Only thing that seems to fix it for me is restarting the phone whenever I want to use the camera, which is annoying. Haven't tried Factory reset. Sent an email to the camera app developer some time ago with no response. Might just try getting a new replacement with my Best Buy warranty.

I have the same problem with my Pixel 3, bigger problem is that I live in Brazil, and officially it is not commercialized and has no warranty here, technically is a software problem, but Google does not respond to feedback...
I happened to come here for an unrelated matter but seen this at the top of Q&A.
I also had the same problem. I performed multiple factory resets, made sure my software updates were the most recent, I also ran the phone for a week with NO THIRD PARTY APPS. The problem continued. I finally said "the hell with it" and RMA'd my phone. Seeing how they were aware of the problem, the RMA did not count against my Preferred Care warranty.
Since my replacement (roughly 3 months ago), I've had ZERO issues.
Hello there,
I am using stock EMUI 9 for few weeks. I just recently noticed there is missing option for image stabilization for video. On EMUI 8 it was available for 720p and for [email protected] as well. Now it's gone.
Could someone confirm it is enabled by default now? Did someone make a comparison?
I think you are right and the stabilisation is enabled by default. I tried a quick comparison and you can clearly see it on display how it struggles in low light conditions.
Hey everyone! Hope you're all well, and safe.
I am trying to make a time-lapse using the default Sony/Sukros app, but when i start the timelapse, the lens loses focus straight away, especially if i'm trying to capture the horizon/skyline.
I've tried all the different focus settings like manual, macro, auto, continious ( i don't even know what they do or efere to)
Does anyone else have this issue? Is there a fix?
Hi,
I recognized similar issues with focus and ISO in the 960fps feature. Guess the reason therefore are deleted DRM-keys during bootloader unlock.
Is yours also unlocked?
Use manual mode, and set the focus distance with the slider. There is an update coming out very soon with lots of bug fixes. If you need it sooner PM me.

No, my device is unrooted/stock and has never been unlocked.
I also installed the app today - following link just to ensure it is the same
(play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sukros.timelapse)
played around a little (manual focus included). Maybe the distance you chose is out of the technical or software supported range...
I will try tomorrow again with different optical lenses
