Try another video player.

Re. camera restarting phone - it's been reported that when on autobrightness, the camera will reboot the phone sometimes. Using an alternative camera app (like Camera 360 for instance), or not using autobrightness for the display, will help.
I also had this problem, and since switching camera apps it hasn't happened.
Changing that and now work fine. Thx @rafithegreat .
And Video Recoring in 720p now is very bad. Even if I play in MoboPlayer it's not so smooth.
Now recordingin norma.
One more question: how to turn on Time Stamp when I'm taking photo?

dawpuc, I've your same problem.
I've tried to change some radios and rils, but the problem remains.
I don't want to use an alternative camera app, because I like the default app.
I also would like to continue to use the autobrightness utility, because I need it.
Can anyone help me?
P.S.: do you know how can I add the timestamp to my photos directly on the photo in one of the corners?
Why would anyone want time stamps?
On a digital camera, it is the very first thing I turn off.

Hi, I have the same problem using Insertcoin CM7 V1.1.2 . The problem has gotten worse since Insertcoin 1.1.1. Back then only the camera would crash.
Since updating to Insertcoin 1.1.2 the camera freezes the whole phone. I have to take the battery out to reboot manually.
I've used a card gparted with ext3 and ext4 both.
At one point the camera kept working but images were not saved properly. Windows then detected problems with the card and some images were placed in the found folder during the check.
The crashes also happen with the separate Sense 3 camera zip linked on Insertcoin's blog. To be honest that one does not look different from the bundled camera and I have the idea that the problems started with the Sense 3 camera.
Hope this makes more people aware of the issue and perhaps attracts the attention of a dev.
Hi there,
I'm having some issues with my front facing camera and recording. I am running CM10.1 (RC5) on my SGH-T999 and for some reason, every THIRD recording from my front facing camera freezes my phone and forces a reboot.
This is very irritating when using apps like Snapchat or the new Instagram video feature. The Instagram feature especially, because it is a "tap and hold to record," and on the third tap/release it forces a reboot on my phone.
My friend seems to have this issue as well on his Verizon S3 (running CM10). However, I've tried to Google a solution for months now but have yet to find a working one. I just recently decided I wanted to fix this problem because the new Instagram feature isn't quite as fun with this issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! This is also my first thread on the subject so if I am missing any vital information that could be helpful, please inform me!
EDIT: I should add that the camera works fine when on stock ROM. However, I've really grown attached to CM10.1 and am hoping I can fix it without reverting.

The problem isnt the camera or the ROM, its the app. The new update for Instagram freeze everyone cameras. But strangely you added Snapchat, this app running fine on CM10.1 4.2.2 for me. Have you tried to uninstall the camera and flash an other one ? Go see this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1966426

I will try update now!
It is any app involving the camera, even the camera app itself. I can record perfectly fine for the first two recordings, but when I try to save the third recording via any app (Snapchat, Instagram, basic camera app) it forces a reboot.
For example, on first recording I can record a 30 second clip; on the second, I can record a 3 minute clip. However, for the third, no matter how long the duration of the previous recordings, it will always crash.
This is only on the front-facing camera, though.
Again, I'll go ahead and try the link you sent me and come back with updates; thanks!
It's been happening forever. Just like when you go into the language & input area, and do something, press back, force close. Every time.
Honestly, the CM camera is pretty lacking (all of the CM apps are). If it's an issue for you, there are other ones on the market. Oh wait... no there isn't. Plenty of camera apps, no video apps.

Aw man, so there's no fix to this? Would you be able to recommend any other custom ROMs similar to CM that have a working front-facing camera? I know it is a rather juvenile reason to switch ROMs, but all my friends are doing front-faced recordings via Instagram and Snapchat and I'd love to join the fun.

I don't think it's a juvenile reason at all. Actually, I think it's pretty incredible that it hasn't been fixed yet. The camera is arguably the second most important part of the phone. I'm sure it will be fixed in time, but it's just a reminder that we are nowhere near 10.1 stable yet. They may think so, but I beg to differ. I'm reminded of when 10.1 was brand new. Phone calls wouldn't work half of the time. Some people are still having occasional issues (me included).
Unfortunately for you, most AOSP ROMs are based on the CM code. Looks like it's either live with it, or use a TW ROM.

That's a shame... I am surprised I was unable to find any information about this before posting my own thread if it's such a widespread issue!
Do you have any suggestions on TW ROMs? I realize I should probably look myself but you seem to be quite knowledgeable. :good:

Had just commented on this in the cm thread... Damn that sucks. Having the same issues. My main camera can capture pictures in a third party app but as soon as I switch to ffc I crash into a hard reboot. Don't know if that transfers over to skype but man that's a bummer. I know that Google hangouts uses the native cm camera so that works but instagram, fb, and even snapchat sometimes (at least for me) will frag some times.
I missed you aero! Haven't seen you over in cm land but then, as you posted earlier, you got off the nightly train for a while. Miss your knowledge and expertise

The problem occurs on all Rom except those based on TouchWiz.
Every third recording with front facing camera on any apps freezes the phone and forces a reboot.
It is strange that almost nobody talks about this problem.

Oh Shoot. My bad. I keep forgetting it all the time.
Are you using the Social Media apps to do the video Recording ? If yes, can you follow the bellow steps ?
1. Wipe Data for all the social apps you can possibly use to do Video Record.
2. Go to Recovery, wipe Dalvik + Cache Reboot.
3. Do not open any of the social Media app.Use the regular Camera app. Do the 3 video recordings and report back.

Seeing as this thread came back alive, does this also matter with audio recording? Using viber and what's app you can make wifi calls and leave voice sms respectively, but every time I try to do so the audio sounds like I'm 10 underwater with Optimus prime talking

I too am having this problem on CM-based ROMs. Every third recording with the ffc my phone crashes and reboots itself. Bummer it has to do with CM based ROMs.

Hi all,
I have a problem I hope the great minds here can help me with.
I'm using Slimbean 6.2. I have taken two pictures recently with ordinary camera.
Trouble is, the pics appear grey in the Gallery.
Interestingly, the thumbnails show the image clearly as expected.
I think it may be because the camera wasn't focused, the first pic was of my daughter on a fairground ride and the second was of a train (don't ask).
Is there anything I can do to make them appear correctly?
Examples attached.
You can see the thumbnails clearly, when I tap into the second photo down on the left, I get a grey pic.

I'll try that, but in Dropbox on my laptop they are appearing as grey as well..
I've just flashed build 6 and then 6.9 weekly and camera is working in both. I took a number of shots on both builds and purposefully made sure some were out of focus, no problems at all. Best option is probably just to flash the rom again, try the weekly it seems really stable and the camera is definitely working(as it appears to be in build 6).or You could try to push the camera apk first
Bam Bam Bam
It's odd, it's only happened on a couple of pics, others have come out fine.
Looking at the details, width height and orientation are the same as for other pics (which did work).
Exposure time is 1/2000 and ISO = 100
Size is 43.33kb vs others which are approx 1.5mb
I'll probably never know...
it happened to 2 or 3 month ago but I can't for the life of me remember which rom it was or how i resolved it, hopefully it will be ok now
No fixes available for that ATM!
Change to 6 MP and the camera won't take gray photos... That's the only temp. fix AFAIK!

Happened to me a while ago on viperx rom completely out of the blue. I thought it might be camera settings (even though I changed nothing at the time) but i reset them and it continued intermittently. Only for one evening, and it's never happened again. I hadn't changed anything else either, it just started with the grey pic rubbish, and then for no apparent reason it stopped! And never did it again.. I know what I've said doesn't exactly help a lot , just wanted to say that the 6mp fix might not be necessary.. Must be something else that caused it

Hi!
I'm having a great problem with my D855 (16 Gb). When I bought the phone, I had some camera problems, like a lot of colored pixels all over the picture (only rear facing camera). It disappeared suddenly, but now it has returned. I don't know how to solve it. It's a pity, because I can't take any decent picture. How can i solve it?
P.D: I'm running AndroidNow 7.2, but I'm having this problem with any kind of ROM (Stock or AOSP)
Might be noise, caused by high iso settings. That is perfectly normal. Are you shooting in low light or high iso?
It could also be that the camera sensor is suffering from hot pixels, but those don't usually appear in high amounts.
If you'd upload a sample picture it would be easier for us to judge.

It's more clear in low light situations, but it's too obvious in low light situations. I've tried even factory reset and ROM change, but it doesn't work

As you can see, it appears in "stripes", so I think it might be a problem with the camera controller (you're saying it's not depending on the rom). I'd contact LG to get the device replaced.
I tried but it's only happening with the ROM I'm using (AndroidNow)
Would you please help me? I need the camera for work T.T

Earlier you said it was happening even with stock. It's def a camera driver/hardware issue. You'll need to have it looked at
Anyone else noticed how Whatsapp video calls (using the selfie-cam of course) is really zoomed in? Found myself having to hold the phone quite far from my face to achieve the normal framing, as otherwise my usual distance means my entire face is the persons screen that I'm calling!
It'd be great to change the zoom and maybe even utilise the stock cam for the wide angle option, but realise this is likely not possible?
Does using the volume keys change that while in the call?

Hi, I have the same issue with my Pixel 6 and it is still not resolved for me. Could you confirm if the new Pixel update resolved it for you? All the video calling apps including WhatsApp and Duo still have zoomed-in blurry videos with washed-up colors for me. Thanks.

Hey.
I actually noticed this was fixed before the Dec update. So I'm unsure whether this was fixed in the mid-Nov update or though thinking about it, perhaps it's a Whatsapp app fix rather than Pixel fix.
I had logged the error with Whatsapp and note you have the Pixel 6 and not 6 Pro, so I'd advise raising it with them.
It's great though just to say, feels good to not have to hold the phone so far away from my facew just so the other person doesn't get my ugly mug filling up their entire screen lol
It's definitely not fixed, I have the latest Dec update on my pixel 6 and what's app video call is still zoomed into my face n blurry.

Grrr weirdly after the Dec it's back to being zoomed!!!
I swear guys it was fine and now it's not, so I'm clueless as to what origin of this problem is.....
Update: reported it via the built-in method within the app (last time I just emailed them) which sent logs and device info however because I'm rooted they said it's unsupported.
Perhaps someone unrooted with this issue could report...

Same here. I'm on
SQ1D.211205.016.A4
This also happened with the November build.
Probably the fractional zoom levels offered by the P6 cameras. A *lot* of software can't zoom out less than 1.0 and needed updates.
I'm not rooted and I'm in the Dec update on my pixel 6. I've sent the logs through to what's app so hopefully they reply back
Hi has anyone found a fix for this yet? I'm on the newest 220205.004 build and this problem still persists.
**Update: Joined the Whatsapp beta test program and can confirm the zooming issue has been fixed! So it appears it's been a Whatsapp issue all along and not a Pixel issue. If you're not part of the beta test and don't want to be, then I guess waiting until the new update comes out will be your best solution.
I can confirm the issue is fixed for me running WhatsApp Beta.

Not exactly. Its actually silly for the "back at you" camera to have a fractional zoom level. It doesn't actually zoom out, 1:1 ratio is zoomed *in* a bit.
It does make some sense on the "away from you" camera, since there are 3 separate sensors and the MAIN sensor is defined as 1:1.
