camera recording - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone check if your camera recording got darker after 2.22 firmware update or arhd 10.2 in low light situations..... Picture quality is still great but when I try to record in low light it sucks so bad..... It doesn't adjust to it.....

Anyone

Same problem. Annoying!

You have the same issue as someone who posted over a year ago, on software/firmware (2.22) that is two generations old at this point?

I can't say for sure if the problem started during the some update, but for a while now, I've been experiencing the same issues as the OP. Seemed to start roughly around the same time as the OP, too.

The camera app has been updated several times since the time of the OP. Don't know if it will help your issue or not, but at least a start to see if your camera app is up to date. Current version is 7.30.581119

That's the exact version that I have.
The newest problem, just started maybe a couple of months ago, is that I'll open up the camera app, the shot looks beautiful on the screen, I hit the "video record" button to start, and the camera "stops down" to an unrecognizable dark image before recording. Annoying!

Camera Issue

I don't use my camera much but when I turned it on this morning I noticed it looks fine for a few seconds and then a bunch of lines come on the screen. What is causing this?

What ROM are you using? Some roms have buggy cameras. Please provide more info on your current set up so we can help you troubleshoot.

[Q] Server error occurred. Restart Camera.

The video camera function on my camera is no longer working and I’m not sure why. This phone is less than 5 weeks old and I have already taken videos with it. This upsets me because I have a 4 month old that I love to record especially when it comes to his firsts. The led flash light comes on when I push the video button, the screen switches and freezes. The message saying error prompts and when I close the camera, the led light will remain on until I reopen the camera. Hopefully you can help me figure this out, many thanks!

I install S5 Video App but it does not work properly in my note3. Can I use it in my device?

Which indicates you have been making changes to your phone related to video. Did you remove that or are you still using it.
Without knowing what your phone condition is in, it is very possible that other changes you have made is causing the problem as well...

Most don't need to update their modem and if you installed software that modifies how your phone works, you might try turning them off or uninstalling them to see if they are the cause of your problems.

u could try booting in safe mode and test if theres any app or tweak that is causing it. or u could enter Service / Test / Hidden functions by dialing *#0*# on your phone dialer and u gonna get to the service mode and check camera itself. also theres another one of those USSD codes that brings u to check the phone gadgets hardware /firmware version to see if it same as the camera app... u could also do a full factory restore from recovery screen if nothing else works remember to do a backup first @ titanium backup.. or if you have fair tech skills u could remove the back cover and remove the battery plate and check if tje battery connectors are in place im sure u could find a note 3 tear down video around.. i had the same problem but with the frontal camera and ended up been the camera was defective and replaced it and worked like charm
I know this thread is kinda old, but since it is on the first page on google's query, I'll post a solution here (found on another site).
The solution is to turn off the phone and remove battery for 10-20 seconds. This should resolve the issue.
Some users report that the issue occurs when you charge your phone via PC or laptop USB port. So, to avoid this, prefer original charger.
thanks
thank you for replying even if the post is old! it simply worked while i was about to sell my phone ! good thing i saw your reply first!
Did you ever find a fix?

Snapchat video stuck zoomed in

For a while now I have been having this issue with videos in Snapchat. I can take pictures fine with front and back camera, but as soon as I click and hold to take a video the camera (front or back) zooms way in. I have tried clearing cache for the app, reinstalling, and clearing cache in recovery and nothing has fixed it. It used to work fine so I am not sure what changes.
I searched around and found some other people with the issue but never saw a resolution. Dpea anyone else here have the problem or have any ideas to try to resolve it?
HTC One M8 Zoom Bug
Yes! I have this problem too, you aren't alone! Not only that, but if you visit the review section of the snapchat app page, many other HTC One M8 users are having this issue. I've been searching for a solution for at least two months and I've tried everything I've found except for a full on system restore and nothing has worked. I've issued a bug report but have yet to receive a response. It's starting to get kind of ridiculous.
Update: Fixed!

Alright, apparently the latest android update fixes this! I checked for a system update today and when I tried taking a video on snapchat, it only zommed in a very small amount, small enough to where it was not noticeable. So a system update fixes the problem!

What update did it for you? Was it just the OTA one? I don't want to upgrade to Lollipop, so I may just live with it. It is really annoying though, there has to be another way to fix it.
found a fix
Downgrade to ver. 5.0.38.2 beta that ver. Worked for me on my Htc one m8 android 4.4.2 try it.

LG G4 Touch Screen issues. Ghost Touches?

I've been able to replicate this issue on my G4 (815T Australian model) on a daily basis, just on the instagram app though.
I recorded a video of it. Slowmo part shows the issue
https://goo.gl/photos/F823e125PQckCPLp6
The screen seems confused and it just scrolls the other way even if my thumb wasn't touching the screen.
Factory data reset did not fix anything.
Are you able to replicate this LG G4 owners?
I don't use Instagram, so can't help with that app, sorry.
But if you go into Developer Options, and turn on "Show touch data", it might help add some more info to the discussion. It will show a trace on the screen of what the phone's touchscreen interpreted from your last tap/swipe.
It would presumably show a swipe up, and then back down, when you're getting these ghost touches that change the scroll direction. But perhaps it could also help show if swipes are interpreted the same way in other apps. It might help you learn a little more about what the phone is seeing, at least.
Thanks for the video and everything but why a new thread? Plenty of videos on the main thread.
Is another thread really necessary?

Might be, because this only happens with IG. I've got the exact same problem, only with IG and its very annoying.

Apologies, first time I posted it I was thinking it was just Instagram-specific.

You can try to change the touch feedback time from short to medium under settings/accessibility/motor & cogination. This will reduce the touch feedback time. Give it a try, and see if it gets better.

Question, do you have Google keyboard installed? Because I just removed Google keyboard and installed SwiftKey and it looks like the problem is gone....

Nope, I use Swiftkey from the beginning. Only LG stock keyboard is installed.
Mm, I've got LG keyboard freezed with TB and after changing from Google keyboard to SK, the problem is gone

Interesting. Not keen on rooting though. =\
So you reckon it's just a software issue?

Well this problem is only related to the LG G4 and IG for me...I don't have any other touchscreen problems with this phone. So for me I guess this is not hardware related. During the day I just had 2 small "ghost touches", way better than before. Will see how it goes the next few days...
Edit :
after a view days, it looks like it didn't solve this issue. Today I notice the ghost touches were there again in IG
Force GPU rendening under Developer options somewhat helped.
The new v10f on my Australian G4 didn't fix the issue as well.
Any updates on this? I had same issue. N this is a replacement unit after 2.5 weeks of waiting
Just day one and this ghost touch come up.
I also have this problem
Did you solve the problem?
I am facing similar issue.between...i am not using ig.
I've had this issue as well (not just IG) and sent the phone back for servicing. It was sent back to me with a report showing that they'd done a few things but the problem is still there. I'd been thinking I'd send it back in once more and ask them to have another look. I'm getting ghost touches everywhere and quite a bit, it's very annoying.
Someone mentioned there was another, large thread about this issue but I can't seem to find it, can anyone point me to it?
Hi, I posted this in a new thread yesterday as I couldn't find anything. Never thought to search for 'ghost taps' duh.
Every now and then when just doing normal things on the my phone it totally freaks out and all by it self it suddenly starts to tap random parts of the desktop, slides the pages, opens apps, closes apps, goes into calculator and a bunch of buttons are pressed randomly. It's almost like someone has hacked my phone and is trolling me by just tapping randomly on the phone.
Just today when looking at Facebook it closed the app, scrolled down notifications, data was turned off and wifi turned on.
I thought it might have been my screeen protector, bit of moisture in it or something. Took that off and still does it. Took out the battery for a minute and still does it.
It happened a few months ago then nothing for ages and now it's started again this weekend.
Thought it might have been only when connected to data but has now done it when offline.
Any one got a solution? Does a custom rom fix?

Video and audio sync problem using Super Steady

Hi,
I've searched the forum and Google and did not find any information about this issue...
I have an A70 with Android 10 as you can see on the screenshot.
The issue i have is, when i make a video with the stock camera and super steady activated, the sync is messed up, the videio and audios are out of sync...
I've tryed and clear cache and data of the camera app and did not solve the issue. The only way to have a synced video/audio is to deactivate the super steady option...
Do anyone have this issue too?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
No one has this issue on A70?
I just noticed it too. The video is about 1 second late.

Received today an OTA that has the solution for this issue.

Yeah, me too ? Have you found any other bugs so far?
Turning off super steady doesnt help.
I have the feeling, today's software is written by idiots who don't test their own work. It's simply an unacceptable bug.
