camera help! - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

OK the skinny Google version pixel xl bootloader unlocked n rooted. Problem when I open my camera all I get is black screen. Nothing else. I can dl 3rd party camera apps and they work but stock nothing. So what am I missing? Thanks

Try going to the camera app settings (Android app settings, not the camera prefs) and click Storage then clear the cache. If that doesn't fix it, you can clear data. It won't erase your photos but it will rest your options/preferences inside the camera.

EVO some camera apps broken, others work, suddenly

I've had this same HTC EVO 4G since the week it came out, rooted on Cyanogenmod (7.1 stable, currently), and I've never had a problem with the camera before.
Suddenly, the stock camera app and one other camera app (ProCapture) are broken. They show the live preview through the camera lense, but the little gallery box on the right is black (where you can see the most recent pic and tap it to open the full gallery).
BUT here's the weird part - some other camera apps work fine, Camera360 for example... so I don't think it's hardware.
I've already tried
- Clearing data
- Uninstalling "Camera.apk" stock app
- Uninstalling via Titanium
- Rebooting (duh)
- Fixing Permissions (through ROM Manager)
I'm at a loss. I can't use the video camera either, so can't record video right now (since that's part of the stock camera). It just FC after a few seconds.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Have you changed kernels?

Front camera - mirrored photos.

Hello!
When I take photos with front camera, the preview is in correct orientation, but after shot, photos are mirrored.
Do you have similar problem with your 5x?
TIA.
Greetings.
Normal photos for me, what's ur rom ? Have u tried to wipe the camera cache and a wipe cache/ART ?

I'm on stock 6.0.1 (April update).
Here is an example of my problem: When I see preview of photo in stock camera app, the callendar on the wall is on my right side, but on the photo is in on the left side...
Or maybe this is working as intended? How it looks like on your phones?

It's how it works. Also take picture with rear camera and you will understand what i mean. If you like that that and want mirrored photos, some apps got that option.

"Cannot display panorama" error on one+ 3T

hello,
i'm having issues with stock camera app.
when ever i take panorama photos and try to view them in gallery (regardless of app used), i get this error message:
"cannot display panorama / the image file does not contain the required panorama metadata".
so far i tried with default gallery app and quickpick. neither of them are able to open the panorama file.
i also tried with google camera app. this seems to take panoramas without issue.
the only time / place i am able to view the panorama files is right after i take them and use the "recent pic" option from within the camera app.
right now i`m on android 7.1.1 with OS 4.1.6. unlock bootloader, TWRP, rooted device, stock OS / kernel.
already tried to clear camera app and gallery app data/cache. also did a wipe of cache / dalvik for entire phone. all in vain.
so .. if anyone has other suggestions ...
thanks.
In QuickPic, don't press on the displayed panorama icon but pinch-to-zoom instead.
Also keep in mind that QuickPic is noticeably slower on Nougat and might take some time to render the photo in full resolution.
The fastest gallery for Nougat at the moment is Simple Gallery, which also shows panoramas without issues for me.

The stock gallery doesn't give me any issues with panoramas, but it's a crappy slow app and I don't use it.
Nothing you can do about this. Something is fundamentally wrong with the way panorama-metadata is stored with their stock camera app.
Also taking panoramas in general is a PITA. I tried numerous shots at the beach last week. All were unusable because of countless stitching errors.
Clearing app data did not help unfortunately and It's not the only thing weird, also taking panoramas with google camera doesn't refocus for each shot.
Even some few OP5 camera reviews mentioned the same behavior. I really hope OnePlus fixes their app eventually.

Instagram camera issues

When using my MZP with the Instagram app, the camera within Instagram is zoomed in, which obviously makes framing difficult. I also cannot zoom, either in Story mode or regular photo/video mode. I have no problems when using the regular camera app. I have tried installing alternative camera apps, uninstalling and reinstalling Instagram, wiping the app cache and data, and wiping the system cache, none of which has helped. Any ideas or anyone else with this situation?

Face unlock failed / Camera is in use

Hello there,
Recently after updating my OnePlus 7t to open beta 3 I've noticed a strange issue with the cameras. About 2 hours after every reboot camera related features start malfunctioning. I can't use face unlock, because "camera is being used by other apps", I can neither use the stock camera app because I get a toast notification saying "the camera is in use". The main back and front camera seems to be working in every other app like snapchat, gcam (although telephoto and ultrawide don't work on gcam). After reboot everything goes back to normal for some time.
I tried:
- cleaning data of all camera services and the camera app itself and face unlock app
- re-adding my face model
- uninstalling AUX camera magisk fix (which enables telephoto and ultrawide to work in gcam)
Is anyone else having this issue? Iwould love to solve this problem without reverting back to open beta 2, as it lacks some features I like in OB3. Thanks in advance for help!

I am facing the same issue with the latest beta update? Got any fix for this?
Are you sure you dont have some app spying on you. Probably using the camera thats why its being reported in use
It's caused by GCam. Not sure about stock OOS cam.

I doubt it, as the issue is only in stock Oxygen OS apps (camera, face unlock). My theory is that they use some camera service made by Oneplus which has broke in my phone. Other apps, such as Snapchat or Gcam do not utilise such service, and the main cameras work just fine in those apps (telephoto and ultrawide don't work, because they propably must be accesed via this service). But it's just my theory
