[Q] Recording Failed or Camera Failed

I get this message, depending on the ROM, when I try to take pictures sometimes. Usually it seems to happen after I've rotated the phone once the camera app is opened up.
I haven't really been able to find a solution to this. Any suggestions?

Front camera stopped working

Hello,
I have a strange problem with my phone. When I try to use the front camera (using any application that makes use of the camera) I get the following error: "Unknown error by ErrorCallbBack".
Even though I am not using the camera often, I know I have used it before to take photos. I haven't upgraded the ROM or made any changes recentrly, so this is very strange.
Sometimes, after a few restarts, the camera works again for a couple of times and then fails again.
I googled the problem and pretty much everyone says it's a hardware problem. I was just hoping if someone can tell me something different cause I don't have a spare phone and can't afford to be without my smartphone for days.
Thanks,
Aris

Camera Recording Vidoes Upside Down / Inverted.

When shooting using rear facing camera with the camera button on the right side, the video gets recorded upside down. (it displays/orients correctly on screen while recording)
When the video is played back on the phone, it orients correctly.
However, when you copy it to a computer OR play it via DLNA client (eg: TV), it appears upside-down/inverted.
The photo appear to be oriented just fine on both the phone and when viewed on a computer.
Also, while using barcode scanner app, the camera image appears inverted.
Bank of America - Check Deposit feature shows image correctly oriently.
Is this a software BUG that would be fixed? Or is my hardware faulty ?
It looks as if the sensors are stuck or broken........at times! -- I am hoping thats not the case.

Im having the same problem with barcode scanners. I need this for work it making my life very complicated right now

The chase bank mobile app for check deposit shows upside down image.
This is so frustrating....
Any inputs on how to fix this?

It's something each app dev will have to fix in their respective app, as Google has indicated it's not a problem with their APIs, but how the devs aren't checking for proper sensor orientation. LG in their infinite wisdom (or likely due to limited space in the case), decided to mount the sensor in a reverse-landscape orientation, which is contrary to every other device on the market.

Thanks for that input.
Looks like a total cluster fk. Hope the native camera app is fixed by Google soon. Right now the videos recorded are rotated 180° (upside down)

Camera Problem in Lenovo Vibe Shot (Z90A40)

I have Lenovo Z90A40 Stock Android ROM 6.0.1 Build Number Z90A40_S363_160625_ROW
I have a big issue related to camera, it works fine in indoor or at distance of around 4/5 Normal Rooms
But when I go out door where there is more distance such as in mountains or a big park, then camera stucks at
autofocus and a few 2nds later phone restarts, after searching I tried to reflash ROM / reset device
but all goes in vain, it has a good 16 MP camera but I effectively cannot use it where it is most needed
No error message is ever shown during this problem or even after restart
In outdoor, if I hold phone very still in my hands, then the problem does not arrise, it only arrises when
I normally shake the phone, just like a normal person would do to take a nice picture
I am a rooted user with Xposed framework installed
I tried other Camera apps from Play Store assuming the issue is with Stock camera app, but I think
the issue is related to camera hardware with autofocus in vast areas
So I was looking for a solution, Can I handle this restart as in: Can I skip this restart, is there any normal
or Xposed application that can help me in this regard or any other trick
Plz help

Corrupted video and permissions

Hello, plese help.
I have [ROM][8.0.0][UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 15.0
I can't download files from my phone, also camera don't save recorded video. the app says "error, video file may be corrupted" after recording. Photos are saved succesfully. I think both problems could relate to file permississions? but i'm lost, how do I even check these permissions? Ḯm using gmtp and upload works fine.
Edit:tried another camera app. this time the message is:
java.lang.illegal argument exception
surface was abandoned
Edit: no luck downloading with another cable, also mtp-getfile gave same error "Error getting file from MTP device"

Did you enable Camera2 API? I'm on stock 8.1 (Root + camera2 API enabled) and I can't record videos with 3rd party apps. I always get "error, video file may be corrupted" too.

Camera api2 disabled or enabled from opencamera app, makes no difference just slightly different error message. Default/original camera gives no errors but video file size is 0kb. I'm pretty sure the video did work when I first installed the rom, so it should be just some settings that I have changed.

I can only record videos with the stock camera without any problems. Others apps just give a "can't record video" warning.
Let us know if you find a solution. Good luck ?

Video seems to be working again. Settings/Sound/Other sounds and vibrations, I disabled everything and now it works!?

Oh, really, thanks a lot. Now, I can record with Cinema-FV5 and Open Camera
EDIT: It worked after applying the settings and restarting. After several minutes, the message reappears (and the phone has to restarted again to be able to record videos again). So, this is a temporary solution

Yes, it seems to be only temporary fix, very frustrating. Default lineageos camera isn't working either just freezes the screen.
