[Q] Camera crash ARHD - HTC One X

I flashed the new arhd rom 31 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562603 , everything went by the book and smooth. Now i have problems with my camera, after few hours after the phone was on, the camera crashed when launched. I click the camera icon, camera starts and you can see the video for 2 seconds, than it freezes and goes back do home screen... ? No errors, no nothin... It launches after phone restart and works ok for few hours and then it crashes again. I experienced the same problem today also with google chrome, I could not launch it, it keeps closing without any error. I wanted to post this Q in the arhd thread, but it seems they dont allow new user to post in development.
So any help with this prob?
Tnx in advance

Getting a cat log of the crash would be every helpful

Major lag issues after system crash, barely usable

I have major lag issues when pressing the phone screen (the screen turns on sometimes 5 to 10 seconds after pressing the lock or home button), and the UI is very laggy at all times, apps like the keyboard sometimes take about 5-8 to load, and the gallery app takes sometimes as long as a minute to load.
The reason for the problem:
The problem started when I was trying to up a pic on instagram and then I opened the gallery to choose a picture, the phone lagged, thought this was something usual, waited for 1-2 mins, but the gallery app didn't load at all, the screen was black so I said what the heck, maybe a random hang, just tried to restard - phone did not respond so I removed the battery and after that the phone had major lag issues, before that I did not have any problem at all. This happened on stock android 4.2.2...
Here is what I did
I flashed stock 4.2.2, did everything as usual. wiped data after flashing and the phone was still laggy as f, I reverted to 4.1.2 which was smooth as butter and it lagged also... Now I flashed 4.2.2 a couple of times and the problem still persists. Thinking of getting it checked at the customer care centre, but before this happens I'd like to try to fix it on my own.
Any ideas, anyone ?

Tried it, lag still persists, this could be a hardware problem, as I mentiooned above the big lag issues started after the crash / black screen lag happened, so I am assuming something could have went wrong in the hardware part of the phone,softwarewise there should not be any lag, because Ive triet 4.1.2 and its completely lagless, now it lags like a mofo.
Thinking of brnging it to the customer care service, good thing the phone is still in warranty.
Dunno about the blackscreen but try using LagFix (it's on GPlay).
That app helped to me solve hanging issue I had.

[Q] Htc Camera app Black screen, but camera is fine!

Hi,
I come to you for a strange problem...
From one week, I can't use the HTC camera app. When i launch it, I have a black screen. I thought the camera was broken but snapchat was working :/
So, I donwloaded an other camera app (google), and front and rear camera work well. But, if I start Htc camera app, and other camera, it will bug, I just have to close the HTC app and others apps work again... I tried to clear data app.
I Run ARHD 11.1, root, s-off...
Does anyone seen it before?
Thanks,
Allan
Edit : When I am on the HTC cameara app, I can activate the flash, take a picture (because I know where the buttons are)..But the screen is still black!
Same issue mate
I've cleared the data and still no joy other apps work just not the htc camera as its just black but I know it still works as I can hear it, what modules do you have running mate? I'm in viper one 2.5 and s-off
I also have a black screen on my Camera app htc one m8
Try to re-flash the ROM, with full wipe (data, cache and Dalvik).
Also, make sure your firmware is up to date.
I don't want to reflash tho as just got the phone how I like it minus the camera tho lol Google camera works I've uninstall htc m8 camera and reinstalled it fresh still no joy just a black screen maybe I'll wait for a update on the viper one rom, oh also the mini camera works of the viper side bar
I'm having this same issue in the same rom but when I use Google camera it says can't connect to camera
Do you have any screen rotation locks on?
I had this exact same problem and I looked all over for a solution with no luck. Other than a hard reset I had run out of options. I was deleting other apps that use the camera and checking back every time, and one time I opened the app and it worked for a few seconds before turning the screen landscape (I was still holding it portrait), then turning to black screen again. I checked my rotation lock, and it was locked to portrait. I tried unlocking the rotation and what do you know, it worked perfectly after that. I tried relocking the screen rotation to portrait, and the problem came back. I turned it off again, and it works perfectly.

[D855] "Cannot connect to Camera"

I don't know what's happened, seemingly over night my camera no longer works. I was running Cloudy 2.5 and I wiped it and installed CM12, still no luck. Now I've got it running PA and STILL the camera refuses to work in any apps. I installed FV-5 camera and it just crashes when I launches it. Snapchat tells me to restart the phone but after a few attemps, I can get the front camera to work. I'm starting to think this is a hardware problem as I've flashed new ROMS etc. Has anyone else had a problem like this?
edit: I just installed and launched Snapchat again and when I switched from the front camera to the back, it worked for half a second and then froze. Restarted the app and now it seems to be working.

I had this issue on my g2 all roms nogo so i flashed back stock kdz and it worked then flashed all same romsa again and it actually work so im asuming it was some stupid issue from the factory. But mine done it from the start on stock rom i thought it was a hardware issue it was a warantie replacement i didnt know i had the pbone for about a week and went to take a pic and bam so like i said i tried many roms nogo a fresh new tot
I'll give it a go because it still seems broken. It's working sometimes, but in snap chat the image is flipped upside down and there's a purple tint. Exiting the app and opening it again fixes it, but most of the time it's not working.
This happened to me, but on a different device - it's a CM bug. You could download an app called "restart camera" by temasek from playstore to see if it helps.

Mine was on a ls980 sprint g2 and a stock. And stock based roms never tried cm really
I have LG G3 *D855*... My phone worked fine and fast 2 and half years, no problem, warranty after 2 years was over, but I even didnt think about other phone, because I realy like LG G3 and there is nothing very better created yet + I used mobile case and phone is in perfect condition. Ok, after 2,5 years, phone never was swiped, it was overloaded with files, photos, apps... One day, camera start crashing and sometimes I got some lagz. I decided to root the phone, installed Cloudy 3G, camera worked only first 10mins, then crashed like in stock version. I found one flashable file, called camera fix lgg3... It fixed camera, no lagz on camera, no problem with crashing, flashlight worked, everything was fine. But damn, that Cloudy3G was so unstabble, sometimes phone freezed for a while, sometimes it restarted itself, sometimes apps crashed, like facebook, whatsup and other... But... The biggest deal was with battery... Battery drain was awfully high... If phone was in standby mode, battery taked only one day, but... If I used any app or just watched videos on youtube, I was able to see how % was dropping in minutes. It was like 1 min = 1-2% gone. So, I flashed CM14... Nice mod, I liked, takked few hours to know the mode and customize it for my needs. Camera worked first day, then crashed again... Actualy... It worked sometimes, like 1 time from 10 attempts with phone restart. But, for short time, sometimes 1min, sometimes 30mins. I didnt find any fix, cause that first fix was only for stock camera version... Decided to flash other rom... Fulmics was next, worked fine, mode is cool, stable, battery life is very good, almost like stock version. Camera worked for 2 days, then the same problem... Cannot connect to camera or camera is busy...
From starting, I was able to get into camera by restarting phone, but after few days, no restarts helped.
What I can do now? Any suggestions? Ohh, and sometimes camera is purple and shows upsidedown, before crashing.
All, what I can imagine to do, is try another ROM or try to swipe everything and get back to original stock version. But its not so difficult like installing custom roms. So, it will help or somebody has other solution?

camera became super slow

Hello guys,
I'm writing here because I've been running some frustrating problems with the htc camera application on my M8.
I run stock firmware, stock rom. never did any kind of flashing-modding or whatsoever, although I am not completely sure since it is a second hand phone. When i got it, it came on kitkat. I then upgraded directly to marshmallow.
Here are my actual software information: Android 6.0 / Software number: 6.16.708.1 / Kernel Version: 3.4.0 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT. Build number: 6.16.708.1 CL683910 release-keys.
I used the phone for one month without a problem. Then, for roughly two weeks my phone run minor random crashes with a very weird soft reset of certain application setting after the reboot. I.E: I had to log back again on all my app which required log in: spotify, wechat, even whastapp once, etc. Every time the home screen would show me the "how-to-use" tips as if it was the very first time I run the phone.
The camera became unusable: once opened, every button on screen was unusable. It didn't take photo, it didn't go to settings. nothing of nothing. It couldn't even show the bottom buttons for returning back to the home screen or managing the multi task. The whole interface seemed to be completely unresponsive.
Two days ago, I decided to factory reset through the recovery and reinstall everything.
Everything seemed fine.... but the camera.
It takes litteraly ages (7s more) to save photos. The interface is super laggy, I have to wait sensible seconds to go to settings or switch the camera mode. It is not as bad as it was before the reset, but it still unusable.
I have to mention that I have an sd card formatted as internal storage. However, since the problem persists, I formatted as portable and eventually I removed it completely. Despite this, the camera still does not work properly.
I tried to wipe the cache of the phone from the recovery. Nothing changed.
I also tried to run the phone in safe mode to see whether it was due to some application conflict. Problem still persists.
I am so frustrated, I really want my camera to work back again. I mean, I need it because I love taking picture with this phone ( I often go for photo shooting at night) and the htc camera application gives you a great Manual Mode which I cannot find in other 3d party applications.
Do you have any idea of what it might be?
Many thanks for having spent time reading this post.
I hope you can give some good feedback on this.
Cheers!
I have ran into the same problem. I even did a fresh install of viper rom. And still very slow.
This started happening less than a week ago.
Good afternoon,
The same problem occured to me last week.
This problem started after I restored apps from titanium backup.
I can point our how.
But.. After fresh wipe, all caches cleared. Camera seems to work fast again, no lag.
So check your phone space.. Free ram available.. And your use of titanium backup.
That helped me.
Let me know if this does something.
Regards,
WyCkson
I have the same problem it just started yesterday.
at the moment im using a another application to use the camera.
i want the stock camera working.
i have enough space and enough Ram.
why is it that the camera is so laggy.

OK a fresh install of viper and camera works fine, after updating from the play store the camera is slow. I don't think this is a titanium backup issue, I think it's a new update for something on the device that's interfering with the camera
Fresh install again, removed Titanium Backup. Downloaded selected system Google apps and all HTC apps except for sense home. Camera worked fine. Restarted for the lock screen update and now the camera lags. Trying to figure out which app is doing it.

After some 'auto updates', my camera started lagging huge ammount ~ 6 secs. plus other stuff. . .
Sounds like the same problem. Please post if you find out what's causing it.
same here
I just noticed crazy camera lag this morning (seemed to be working fine just yesterday). The Camera app was updated 6/23, so I assume its that. Can't find any other HTC apps that have recently updated; and no recent changes to the phone (Titanium restores or anything like that). Been on the same build of S.ROM for over a month, with no previous issues.
same here! ...
Hey guys I found your page during my research, since last night I cannot use my camera properly as you said huge lags occur and until that moment I cannot find a proper solution. But at least I found! The source of our problem is HTC SPEAK app. When I uninstall the app's updates camera became more stabyl and my phone's getting warm issues solved!
Good luck.
Found Solution(s)
For me, its HTC Speak app. If I uninstall updates for this App, Camera is back to normal.
But there is workaround even when recent update for this App is installed.
Turn On Camera App, go to Settings-Camera Options-Voice Capture. Turn it ON, download language pack when asked and than use Speak App for Camera or turn it off (as I did). Camera is working like it should either way

Thanks, this solved my problem with the camera lag.
The same thing effects the 'Motion Launch Gestures' in Settings (Display & gestures). For some reason, it also uses language pack, same as camera app.

Are you trying to uninstall the Speak updates, or the Camera app workaround in Post #12?
If you are trying to uninstall updates, you can find the app in phone settings under Settings>Apps>Speak. But for me, the option to uninstall updates is grayed out, and cannot be selected.
For the workaround: when you select "Voice Capture" in Camera app Settings, it will ask you to update the language pack. Select to update it. Then, once that is updated, the camera will work fine. You can leave "Voice Capture" on, or turn it off in Camera app settings; either way, the camera should work fine now.
The option to uninstall updates was also greyed out for me, but you can select the menu icon in the top right corner of the Speak app settings to make that option available. I did this and yes it did fix the laggy camera issue but did not fix the non-functioning gesture control. The workaround that 3alfa3 provided fixes both issues.
Thank you to everyone who has helped resolve this issue as HTC support were as much use as (insert your own witty line...)

I can confirm it worked for me too.
Enabled voice capture after couple of lags, and just hit the download button. Couple of seconds later baaam! Solved.
But Its really strange reason to lag. Curious about how you figured it out tough..
Many thanks.
Just uninstall HTC Speak ... i test this on 3 devices ...
Same problem here.
Turn On Camera App, go to Settings-Camera Options-Voice Capture. Turn it ON, download language pack when asked <--- did the trick for me as well.
When will HTC wake up and fix this?

Camera cannot be started

After about 1,5 weeks of usage, the camera cannot be started anymore since a few hours.
Rebooted a few times already. There is a popup stating that the "camera could not be started, either reboot or restart the camera".
It worked a few hours ago and since then nothing happened with the phone.
I cleared the cache of the "camera" app and made a fresh start. Other camera apps also do not work.
What happened? :/
EDIT: I did a factory reset and the camera is working again...
Just out of curiosity what build were you on when this happened. I only noticed the problem after I updated to the latest update version ending in .225.
The only way I was able to fix it was by powering off the phone and then powering it back on because clearing the cache/restarting it didn't work. It worked fine for a while after the first power off but then it started giving me the same error after a few hours. So now I powered off a second time and it's been about 12 hours since and so far no issues....
Next time, take a bug report from developer settings, and post it in their official forum.
Had the same problem twice in the first week of the phone, looks like hang after U use the super slowmo and dont close the app. at least was both times after using the slowmo and just locking the phone
Just started getting this error in the last few days. Most of the time a reboot fixes the issue. Sometimes it takes several reboots. BTW, I did the most recent software update a couple weeks ago.
Had the same issue, it also causes a battery drain.
The app BetterBatteryStats showed a 100% kernel wakelocks of the process "Sony,camera_modules".
My battery drained from 100 to 40% in 4 hours with just 10 minute screentime.
I've expierenced camera cannot be started error now 8 times, rebooting temporary solves the problem...
Hopefully a OTA update will solve this problem.
Hi, i have the same problem with latest .225 built
Camera works but black screen, and after 3 or 4 times crashed.
The only fix is wait an update by sony??
Me too. Same problem. I had to Factory reset. It pissed me off....
Now sometimes it appears but i reboot and then goes back .
I confirm i have the same problem with the latest firmware but i have it one time with an old one to. For me it's happens when i close the camera app while i have the phone on horizontal. Some time to recover i just open the camera with the phone horizontally but sometimes i need to clear data and restart the phone to make it work again XD
Maybe the wrong thread, but is there a way to take motion photos (like in gcam) on the XZ2 Compact?
