My HTC One m8 camera takes several seconds to respond to touch-commands. I've read many fora and this one appears to be the most helpful. I tried deleting cache and data, rebooting, deleting cache partitions, disabling/enabling and Ive gotten the camera to go from largely unresponsive to "responds after 5 seconds". The problems started after I had cut a bunch of pictures from my phone - I simply did this in windows explorer (worked fine for my HTC One Mini) and didn't "remove safely". I have a feeling the connection between gallery and camera is somehow obstructed but also other commands such as flash/camera-mode respond very slowly.
Does anyone have experience with this problem?
Thank you in advance for any help/advice!

Hey all, long time reader, first time poster. I have been having an issue with my Evo and I thought someone in here may have a suggestion for me. I searched around the web and on this forum and couldn't find anything related to my issue.
I am currently rooted running Fresh 3.5 ROM. The issue I'm having has happened pre and post root. Often when I open applications, and especially when I open something under the notification window, my phone automatically switches to landscape view, even though I am holding it in portrait mode. This keeps happening over and over and I'm not sure what to do. I tried re-calibrating the G-Sensor several times, but it is still doing it. Any suggestions? THanks in advance!

That's weird. Remember that some apps open default to landscape (though not very many)
Step one: Reboot. That should fix it.
Step two: Menu>settings>display>Auto-rotate screen << uncheck that
Step thee: Install a switch app like switchpro from the marketplace that allows a toggle orientation switch.
Thanks for the suggestions, I will give them a try!
Hi Guys!
I started to experiencing strange behaviours and freezes on my galaxy nexus in the last two months but its just worse and worse. This is why I'd like to ask, maybe someone already having same problems... The first strange thing happened during I used a web browser (boat browser) some part of the web content was blurry or vertically / horizontally stretched. The degree of stretching was depending on the scrolling or/and zooming. So its something if we divide the screen to (approx) 5x10 square - like mosaic- and the content of some squares was stretched but there is also the content of the webpage just not on the right place/size.. So i can't use the browser like this, after a minute or two its typically closed without any error message, I just got back the launcher... I did not care with this problem because it was only with heavy websites.. -Was look like the phone has not enough memory- But Unfortunately later my phone started to crash very randomly, mostly durring browse.. but somtimes just when i turn on the screen to watch the time, or started my mailbox. The freezes always the same: For approx 10 sec the phone stops not react to anything on the touchscreen and not the hw buttons. after this 10 sec the screen becomes lighter (ithink like maximum brightness) and few horizontal line appearing on the screen. If i wait more 30 sec the brightness level starts to fade except the horisontal line on the screen... As the screen fedes into dark (like brightnes slevel is 1-2%) always became blurry and hardly lost the saturation. I always have to take down the battery.. Wait with it few sec, put back, and reboot the phone... If I dont wait, typically the boot sequence also freezes on the same way (during the logo animation)... When the phone boots up usually works one day long... but maybe just few hour until the next freeze... awkward thing, my phone is already rooted so i dont think i have any guarantee...
Important parameters:
The problem started with android version: 4.2 but 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 the same.
I have: GSM MODEL (YAKJU-MAGURO)
The phone one year old, I never tried to overclock!!!
After I update to 4.2 I needed to use SuperSu because the old superuser no longer worked.
I was thinking on its some problem with supersu? but actually apps freezes on the phone that never needed any root access..
I already tried:
Format the cache
wipe dalvik cache/battery stats
Fix permissions
uninstall and reinstall SuperSu
Now I ran out from ideas. I affraid its a hw problem maybe with the RAM.. I open to try any idea
Thank you in advance

*Originally I posted this in the Help section of the G3 forums but got no help, so I am posting this here*
Hey all,
So I'm posting this thread regarding a couple pretty weird glitches and bugs occurring on my G3, 3 specific ones.
The first: (Probably the least serious but still REALLY annoying) At EXACTLY 12:00AM every night no matter what timezone I set the phone to (I'm in AU on the AEST GMT+10 timezone but it does this at the same time on any timezone) the phone will switch it's WiFi off automatically without warning, reason or explanation. It just goes off and then I have to manually turn it back on. Sure I could use an app such as Tasker or AutomateIt to turn it back on but I don't see why this is occurring in the first place?
The second issue (Most recent): Lately after updating to the V20E firmware for my D855 I've noticed that a graphical glitch (Specifically related to the colour Blue) occurs when there are fast moving elements on my phone's screen (Such as when I move a chat head around on my phone from Messenger, or when I'm scrolling Facebook or my App Drawer fast, there's just a blue box around whatever object/s appear to be moving on my phone's screen. I've not dropped the phone at all, and it has only been present since updating from the V20D ROM. Not sure what could be causing it.
The third and by far the MOST ANNOYING of the issues I'm having, is that for no apparent reason, whenever I am listening to Music with the stock Music player, and I lock the screen (The screen goes off) about 5 seconds later weird stuff starts to happen..
The song will pause, play or even stop completely, seemingly on its own. The "phone" will change songs, artists and sometimes complete albums and playlists completely by itself, with me doing nothing but staring at the lock screen (It keeps doing it until I re-enter the Music app, then when I lock the phone the whole cycle just repeats itself.)
I've done some looking around and careful observations on the phone itself, and it seems that before the weird stuff starts happening to my music, the phone opens Voice Mate by itself, and then if I'm not present, it apparently closes it and then that's when the stuff happens. I've tried everything I can on a non-rooted phone to stop this. I've tried re-installing the Music app, Uninstalling all updates to the Voice Mate and it's packages to the factory version, force-stopping Voice Mate, everything and no matter what I do the phone still opens Voice Mate and the weird stuff starts happening (It's like it's taking commands from Voice Mate to do something but I'm not even doing anything ) It's been doing this since I got my phone when it came with Android KitKat 4.4 (I was on the D10M ROM until I moved to the D20D Android L ROM) and I moved ROMs doing a completely fresh start ( I factory wiped the phone and then upgraded via a CSE flash and put all my stuff back on it manually) and I would've thought a completely fresh start would have fixed it but apparently not... Either it's a bug that's been present for a while, or it's something deeper than the ROM.
So yeah some pretty weird issues, if someone knows what could be causing them, please let me know, especially if you know a way to solve them.
Cheers guys.
I'd do a factory reset for bugs 1 and 2. If that doesn't fix it, then do a clean flash from LG's Flash Tool. Regarding the first one, I think that it may be due to Quiet Mode on your phone? Or possibly even Battery Saver automagically kicking in at 12.
But yeah, backup your data and do a reset. It fixes around 80% of bugs after an update (As a rule of thumb I reset just before and right after an update to avoid any issues.

As I said before I've done a factory reset and complete re-flash via CSE, and nothing has fixed it it's been the same since I updated :/

the WiFi issue seems like its something to do with battery saver/quiet mode (to me anyway). Unless your router is kicking the phone off at that time?
EDIT:
oh and regarding the Voice Mate issue it could be either the jack or your headphones?

So, this one I put in General section on purpose, rather than the Troubleshooting and Q&A section, cause main purpose is to disguise about the bugs and things that are simply wrong.... Mainly probably Android issues rather than HTC, but their team has big impact on those...
I'm gonna start by the fact that I got the M8 just a couple days ago, and it's an upgrade from my previous M7 (Stock 4.3, TWRP Unlocked & rooted).
The first thing that I did after turning it on was, Wifi -> Software updates -> and got 3 OTAs in a row, to get me to 5.0.1... After that, I started to "migrate" the phone; Loging in G-acc, downloading apps from PlayStore.. and bump, here's the issue number 1:
- PlayStore keeps saying "Connection lost. Retry" or giving an error 923 on downloading apps, like every few minutes or so. This only happens when using 3G or 4G connection. Writing reviews is impossible, cause at the time I actually write something, and press Apply, the message is lost, and "Try again" notification appears instead... Never happened before on M7, so I checked with my carrier and we've done all the testing - It's for sure something with the phone, not the signal. carrier or tower-switching....
Next thing was, youtube has the same issues: Every few minutes (even less), a "Retry" button appears, and has to be pressed 2 or 3 times to load search results, videos, etc... Never breaks the connection during video play though. But, still, playing playlist is impossible, due to error being in between every video change...
Issue number 3: Gallery keeps getting everything that's on the phone. This includes Messenger (Facebook) app's emoticons, which are shown one-by-one in it's own albums, resulting in having over hundred albums in a gallery, - I know this can be hidden, but hiding over 100 folders is not that easy either...). I checked data on my M7 - same folders, same files of messenger, but Gallery never showed them at all.
It also shows all of the pictures I've ever shared with a particular person, since Messenger downloads those pictures in a folder... What have they done with the Gallery app?!? Is there anyway to downgrade to some older version...?
Issue number 4: Cloud gallery notification pops-up every single time the Gallery is opened. Even though I hit "No thanks" button, the next time the app is opened, notification saying "Gallery just got better with cloud service" pops-up. Any way of disabling this notification?!??? I guess that mentioning the uselessness of Zoe app due to not having Save button is irrelevant, right...? This Cloud things seems to mess up the heads of the HTC Dev team, ha?
Issue number 5: Power saver notification can't be hidden from the Lock screen; My life with M7 was 90% of the time with "Power saver" option turned on (All except for the data cut-off option selected). I always had the notification in the upper bar of the screen, but never on the Lock screen itself, in the middle of the screen. Now, on M8 this is visible. Along with the big "X" symbol that turns it off. I swear I've gone through all of the settings, but nowhere found any option to hide it.
Issue number 6: Google drive downloads low-res videos instead of originals! So, I keep a lot of my FullHD ([email protected]) of the GoPro on my Drive. Now, when I wanted to see those videos on my phone, I hit the Download button, and look what I got: 720p (1280x720) videos @ 25fps. Converted MP4 files. Without any notification, any option set, nothing... And I've downloaded the same files on M7 non-converted, so that I could edit them and upload them on social networks etc... Why is this the case, and why is this behaviour nowhere even documented? At least I haven't found it...?
Resolved issues:
- SD Card write error; It's a pain in the ass what they did. More than that, its the pain in the ass that in 5.0.1. where this was repaired (via Documents app approval), the app crashed when selecting SD card -> due to the card not having any name set (after format). It would be nice if this was documented somewhere too...
- Whole device freezes for around 10 secs whenever message is sent in Facebook Messenger app: This is resolved by turning off "In-App sounds" option in the app's settings. Still have no idea why this would happen, and why only on M8, (Nexus 5 and 6 don't have these issues running same system and app version...), so can't say who to blame, but at least it can be bypassed...
Facts (rather than issues): About M8 itself... Well, the camera is far from what they promised, and the battery is nowhere near the capacity they claim it to be. While the screen is pretty much the same as it was on the M7, I'm really starting to wonder what is the big change in the model at all (apart from louder speakers, very dumb headphones jack reposition, and gladly SD card support back in game...).
Now for the worst of it all: The playstore review content; HTC Development team seems to simply delete all reviews that are not saying what they'd like to hear. Either 1 star, 2 star, and comments that points to some issues - the review gets deleted within couple hours. I've been mentioning bugs on 3 apps, like 4 times so far, and all my reviews were gone... While they are kept on many other apps. I mean, is this the way to treat customers?!?
What are your thoughts? What are the bugs you found and I haven't yet...? I really want to know as much as I can, because I'm starting to regret for my choice....
So about 2 weeks ago I got a galaxy z fold 3 device which I really like and it hasn't really given me any problems, with one exception - I assume it's because of the newer models interference with the app itself, because kindle may not have been entirely configured for the fold's versatility. Anyways, sometimes there's this glitch that appears when I open a book on my kindle app and zoom into the fonts to increase its size, and when I do that the page splits into one full page and one half cut-off page on the open screen, making reading uncomfortable. The same happens when the fold is closed and I just use the front screen. The glitch goes away when I restart the app, however it's really frustrating having to live with the uncertainty of when that problem appears in seemingly random time periods. I understand the extra steps for it to work regularly don't seem very important to begin with, but if you had to bash your front door twice or three times into its hinge for it to close properly, you would probably consider moving out or at least getting a new, working door. I can't find any relevant information online - is there someone with a similar problem who knows what's up with this? Thanks
I am not sure I am following you on the issue. I, literally, read books on my Kindle App on my Fold 3 every night before bed. I have opened a book and tried the whole Zooming thing you described, but I am just getting text zoomed in and out with no split pages or any blank sections anywhere.
A couple things you can try is to go into the App Settings and then Storage and Clear CACHE (not data) and see if it helps.
You can also uninstall the app and re-install to see if that helps.
Other than that, can you provide screenshots and/or a video?
Try clearing the cache of the app, update it, and uninstall it and re install it again, then reboot your phone
