camera crashing and not taking pictures

Completely stock. Out of nowhere today, the camera app has started crashing. Pressing the shutter or vol buttons does nothing, and no pictures are taken. I rebooted the phone and took two pictures and camera force closed immediately. If things were working properly there would still be at least two seconds before pressing shutter and a picture being taken. This phone SUCKS, it's the most disappointing Android experience I've had.

This started happening to my phone as well. I force stopped it, then rebooted and it works for days again. I notice it usually happens if I go from Camera on taking photos to screen off. A closer look shows that if the app is doing something such as changing rotation from landscape to portrait when you screen off, it goes completely bonkers. It's as if the sensors are locked in an orphaned process and can't be accessed. This is proven by launching another app that uses the camera and it'll do the same thing. Black screen loading the app.

this is happening all the time now, especially when i take many pictures in a short duration. the camera will go all black and then a random app will open, seriously. the stock camera app does this.

Do you guys have any Layers themes on?

i do not

Welcome to the club. This phone is a total lemon. Just waiting for the latest udpate to check if it fixes this issue. Its close to 5+ months now and google hasn't still fixed the issue so far.
I think i am done with the nexus line with this phone........
i have had nexus 4, 5 and now 5x.., and 5X is the most horrible in terms of lag/slowness. My N5, which is still own and use is much faster with the same set of apps.. when using / launching apps side-by-side.

why are so few people acknowledging this? moreover, why are so few people livid about it? i am! i can't open the ****ing share menu from any app without 3 seconds of lag. it's bull****. the android experience i want is simple: 1) nexus line so i don't have to wait for updates and deal with bloat, 2) no lag because it's 2016 and 3) a phone that's not sized like a ****ing tablet. i don't understand why i have to use a surfboard to get the higher end hardware. it's bull****.

Problems with Gallery, GPS, slow SD card reading, Video recording, home not loading

after using this phone for 3 months, here are the problems I have found.
After every reboot, sorting of images in my gallery change. Most recent pictures and on top. they just get mixed and match. I use a SanDisk SD card. nothing is in order, I mean nothing. This is the thing I hate the most.
Gallery app updates itself pretty slowly, after taking a photo, it takes about 4 minutes to find that pic. in twitter app.

GPS is not a mess, it is mostly a punishment by a higher being. cursor flips other sides, it requires calibration all the time, when I turn right, it turns to left or doesn't even move. Sometimes it works, sometimes it works backward. This GPS losing me time every single day. Shame on you Xiaomi
-
it takes I'm not kidding, 10 minutes for my phone to load 200GB SanDisk card with 60gb data in it.
To boot the phone back from a reboot, I need to take the sim tray off, otherwise, the home-screen doesn't show up, I just see my wallpaper for 5 minutes. Even though the app I'm going to lunch is stored internally (let's say twitter) I cannot launch it before the sd card loads completely.
-
video recording option on the main camera app makes the phone freeze and brick. Yeah, just wanting to record a video bricked my one once. it was awesome. Had to format everything and start over.
-
Backspace key lags, sometimes doesn't recognize when typing fast. Not sure why, it is very odd.
Rooted with magist, TWRP using the stock ROM.

No way to have camera reopen with last used setting?

This was a setting within other Samsung phone camera apps, but it appears to have been removed from all S20 phones?
Now, for example, if I setup the camera to take a video at 0.5 and take my vid. Next time I come back it's sets to photo & I have to do it again. It's a real pita if I'm doing something active like skiing.
I'm I missing it or was it removed?

Anybody else annoyed by this? I use my camera constantly & I constantly have to open & set the method I want to use.

On my phone it remembers the last setting of the camera...but only the basics...if I take slow motion and I go home and open phone again it's still on the option for slow motion...Did pick up that if I close all, it reverts back to normal camera mode...One way around is to keep the camera in memory all the time

On mine I can use the camera to take a video, come back one minute later it's back on photo. Sometimes I'm even in photo and come back and it's on video it's so bizarre and not logical

Question Camera - black screen for 1-2 seconds at camera launch

Hi, yesterday I factory reset the phone (in on Android 11).
I have no problems with the phone, overall it's good, but the camera takes about 2 seconds to start until I can see a picture at the "viewfinder".
What's even weirder is that I just played around with my friend's OnePlus 9 pro, same version , and his camera starts up 1 second faster.
As I said I just factory reset yesterday, so I can't think of a reason my camera is so slow.
Same goes for gcam.
Any ideas?

Question HDR photos issue

Hello everybody. Im using this phone for about 2 weeks now and I have notice there are problems taking HDR photos. Almost every time taking photos while driving it looks like this:

Sometimes there are also same issues in portrait mode (look at water on right).
When HDR is turned off everything is ok.

Delete the data from the camera app in the app settings from the system.
If that doesn't help reset the phone to factory settings.
Is it still the phone exchange. Then it is a hardware defect that may come from the ISP that calculates the images.

It is possible that something has been damaged after puting phone into water for few seconds? (10 cm for 10-15 seconds). It is ip68 certified.

it has an IP certification that says it can be submerged in water up to 1m for 30 minutes.
If something broke, this is a warranty case.

Deleting app data doesnt help. Still same issue. Sometimes also sky is burned (all photos taken in same time and same direction).

So this is not only my unit fault. Another user send me photos he take while driving and he have same issue. Can you check yours phones?

You guy should understand how HDR works in real life. It takes multiple photos at the same scene and stacks them up together to get a better result compared to a single shot. Therefore, while you are driving at hight speed, the phone cannot take multiple photos at the same scene anymore, and the result when stacking up those photos is what you got with your pics above.

I know how HDR works. I have been using many phones and this one is my first that make crap with HDR on while driving. I have take plenty photos when driving with other phones and never have almost every photo with that issues. Maybe 1/50 was with bugs but not every one.
This is the worst i can find fron OP 7T

Portrait mode
(Yes i know first is not focus correctly)
These were not dynamic (fast moving) shots but still.

Another one with HDR problem. Static photo, not in move. I takie photos. One on normal mode and secondein night mode. Night mode is ok but normal have bugs.
