Upside down videos in whatsapp when in landscape mode - Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone.
I am experiencing this really strange issue lately. Eveytime I record a video in whatsapp using landascape mode and frontal camera, it is turned updside down for no reason. I can see it correctly during recording but when ended the whole video is upside down. After a few test I've found that this issue is related to the auto-rotate option.
If auto-rotation is locked, the issue appears; if not, the video is recorded and stored correctly.
Here my specs:
Xiaomi mi6 128/6 running MIUI 9 Global Stable 9.0.2.0 (NCAMIEI) Android 7.1.1 NMF26X
WhatsApp version 2.17.427
UPDATE 01.18
I have found that the same happens also in the new whatsapp version (2.18.9) and also in Telegram. Is clearly something related to the accelormeter and auto rotate option.

I think you would get the same behavior with the standard camera app as well, if it was related to auto-rotate, but....
I don't use those apps so I'm not sure, if this is a generic issue, but, you can try to calibrate your gyroscope:
Go to settings -> About phone -> click multiple times on kernel version until you enter CIT, inside CIT go to additional -> tools -> and run "calibrate gyroscope"
Let me know if this works for you.

Hi Zteam. Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately also the gyroscope calibration doesn't fix the issue. I already tried it before posting here.
What's even stranger is that videos are perfectly working with the standard camera app . Front-camera in landscape mode captures videos with the right orientation; the issue seems related just to whatsapp. Meanwhile I tested also twitter, facebook messenger and telegram and evertyhing works fine with front-camera in landscape position....
Any other suggestion?

[Q] Camera closes when trying to record at 720p

Hi guys,
Any idea why the camera closes when recording at 720p? I can record fine with the next resolution (widescreen 800x480). If I set the resolution at 720p and press the record button, the menu freezes for a few seconds and the camera closes, showing me my homescreen. I've never been able to record 720p before so I don't know if it had worked when it was still new. I have this phone for a month now. Restarted the phone and everything, even installed task killer and killed everything before recording but still no luck. I tried searching on the net but I think nobody has ever encountered the problem before. I don't have any other video recording app. What I do have are camera/editing apps: fxcamera and picsay.
Anybody knows what I should do? I don't want to wipe my phone because I already have a month's work of modifying, downloading, etc put into my phone.
Also, my phone IS NOT rooted.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I just found out that it has the same problem with the online HD mode. So basically when I try to shoot at HD, it crashes.
EDIT 2: I noticed that when I'm in HD recording mode (720p and online HD), the digital zoom bar on the left disappears. It appears with all the other recording qualities. I guess this is part of the problem.
Yesterday I had exactly the same problem .
Thats what i have tried , and finally fixed the problem :
1. Go to application manager ( the built-in one ) -> all apps -> Camera app
pressed "Force stop" . DIDN'T WORK
2. Restart the phone ( fastboot ) -> DIDN'T WORK
3. Shut down the phone , Started it ( Slow booting up , not fastboot )
FINALLY WORKED , camera started to work once again
-> Just need to shut down the phone , and boot it up without fastbooting ..
Now the camera works , but haven't understood what I had done that the phone camera stuck .. :/

[Q] Juggernaut v4.1 [Vultures Edition][Team Kang] - Camera Issues

Hi! First things first, I've looked at most of the other threads regarding common camera issues (blurry pic, mms pics being blurry, etc.) and none of them cover or regard the issues I'm having.
Onto my issue: I'm running Jugg. 4.1 (and am absolutely loving it) but, just yesterday, my camera stopped working. It works when I switch it to video mode and worked a couple times when I would zoom the camera in or out. Now, however the screen is staying black. I can see all the camera controls/shortcuts but nothing comes up on the screen. When I switch the camera to video mode the camera works fine. When I swap the camera to self-shoot it works fine. I've also downloaded a couple different 3rd party camera apps to see if that would fix it and I have the same issue: I can use the shortcuts provided but nothing shows up, just a blank screen in the camera window. I would post a screenshot, but the screen shot's are also coming up as just a black window and aren't showing the camera shortcut menus, camera switch button, etc.
Anyone know of what would cause this or how to fix it?
backup and reinstall ROM.
I am having something similar to what you are faced with.
The difference with mine is that, it says camera failed then closed after pressing ok.
Does anyone know how to correct this problem?
Also I'm having issues with charging my phone.
yeah I'm finally able to get around re-installing tonight, I'll let you know if it fixes it. As for your issues, I'd guess that you have to re-install as well
Yeaaaaaaaaaaah just re-installed, still having the issue. Now I can't record video, either.
mmk... so I've installed teshxx's stock rooted rom, still the same issue. Anyone have any ideas what would cause the camera to work for video recording (that's actually working now, just takes a minute for the camera to start working) but not for taking pictures?
annnnd just restored back to the stock rom, before I installed anything other than root access.
Can anyone please help?

camera became super slow

Hello guys,
I'm writing here because I've been running some frustrating problems with the htc camera application on my M8.
I run stock firmware, stock rom. never did any kind of flashing-modding or whatsoever, although I am not completely sure since it is a second hand phone. When i got it, it came on kitkat. I then upgraded directly to marshmallow.
Here are my actual software information: Android 6.0 / Software number: 6.16.708.1 / Kernel Version: 3.4.0 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT. Build number: 6.16.708.1 CL683910 release-keys.
I used the phone for one month without a problem. Then, for roughly two weeks my phone run minor random crashes with a very weird soft reset of certain application setting after the reboot. I.E: I had to log back again on all my app which required log in: spotify, wechat, even whastapp once, etc. Every time the home screen would show me the "how-to-use" tips as if it was the very first time I run the phone.
The camera became unusable: once opened, every button on screen was unusable. It didn't take photo, it didn't go to settings. nothing of nothing. It couldn't even show the bottom buttons for returning back to the home screen or managing the multi task. The whole interface seemed to be completely unresponsive.
Two days ago, I decided to factory reset through the recovery and reinstall everything.
Everything seemed fine.... but the camera.
It takes litteraly ages (7s more) to save photos. The interface is super laggy, I have to wait sensible seconds to go to settings or switch the camera mode. It is not as bad as it was before the reset, but it still unusable.
I have to mention that I have an sd card formatted as internal storage. However, since the problem persists, I formatted as portable and eventually I removed it completely. Despite this, the camera still does not work properly.
I tried to wipe the cache of the phone from the recovery. Nothing changed.
I also tried to run the phone in safe mode to see whether it was due to some application conflict. Problem still persists.
I am so frustrated, I really want my camera to work back again. I mean, I need it because I love taking picture with this phone ( I often go for photo shooting at night) and the htc camera application gives you a great Manual Mode which I cannot find in other 3d party applications.
Do you have any idea of what it might be?
Many thanks for having spent time reading this post.
I hope you can give some good feedback on this.
Cheers!
I have ran into the same problem. I even did a fresh install of viper rom. And still very slow.
This started happening less than a week ago.
Good afternoon,
The same problem occured to me last week.
This problem started after I restored apps from titanium backup.
I can point our how.
But.. After fresh wipe, all caches cleared. Camera seems to work fast again, no lag.
So check your phone space.. Free ram available.. And your use of titanium backup.
That helped me.
Let me know if this does something.
Regards,
WyCkson
I have the same problem it just started yesterday.
at the moment im using a another application to use the camera.
i want the stock camera working.
i have enough space and enough Ram.
why is it that the camera is so laggy.

OK a fresh install of viper and camera works fine, after updating from the play store the camera is slow. I don't think this is a titanium backup issue, I think it's a new update for something on the device that's interfering with the camera
Fresh install again, removed Titanium Backup. Downloaded selected system Google apps and all HTC apps except for sense home. Camera worked fine. Restarted for the lock screen update and now the camera lags. Trying to figure out which app is doing it.

After some 'auto updates', my camera started lagging huge ammount ~ 6 secs. plus other stuff. . .
Sounds like the same problem. Please post if you find out what's causing it.
same here
I just noticed crazy camera lag this morning (seemed to be working fine just yesterday). The Camera app was updated 6/23, so I assume its that. Can't find any other HTC apps that have recently updated; and no recent changes to the phone (Titanium restores or anything like that). Been on the same build of S.ROM for over a month, with no previous issues.
same here! ...
Hey guys I found your page during my research, since last night I cannot use my camera properly as you said huge lags occur and until that moment I cannot find a proper solution. But at least I found! The source of our problem is HTC SPEAK app. When I uninstall the app's updates camera became more stabyl and my phone's getting warm issues solved!
Good luck.
Found Solution(s)
For me, its HTC Speak app. If I uninstall updates for this App, Camera is back to normal.
But there is workaround even when recent update for this App is installed.
Turn On Camera App, go to Settings-Camera Options-Voice Capture. Turn it ON, download language pack when asked and than use Speak App for Camera or turn it off (as I did). Camera is working like it should either way

Thanks, this solved my problem with the camera lag.
The same thing effects the 'Motion Launch Gestures' in Settings (Display & gestures). For some reason, it also uses language pack, same as camera app.

Are you trying to uninstall the Speak updates, or the Camera app workaround in Post #12?
If you are trying to uninstall updates, you can find the app in phone settings under Settings>Apps>Speak. But for me, the option to uninstall updates is grayed out, and cannot be selected.
For the workaround: when you select "Voice Capture" in Camera app Settings, it will ask you to update the language pack. Select to update it. Then, once that is updated, the camera will work fine. You can leave "Voice Capture" on, or turn it off in Camera app settings; either way, the camera should work fine now.
The option to uninstall updates was also greyed out for me, but you can select the menu icon in the top right corner of the Speak app settings to make that option available. I did this and yes it did fix the laggy camera issue but did not fix the non-functioning gesture control. The workaround that 3alfa3 provided fixes both issues.
Thank you to everyone who has helped resolve this issue as HTC support were as much use as (insert your own witty line...)

I can confirm it worked for me too.
Enabled voice capture after couple of lags, and just hit the download button. Couple of seconds later baaam! Solved.
But Its really strange reason to lag. Curious about how you figured it out tough..
Many thanks.
Just uninstall HTC Speak ... i test this on 3 devices ...
Same problem here.
Turn On Camera App, go to Settings-Camera Options-Voice Capture. Turn it ON, download language pack when asked <--- did the trick for me as well.
When will HTC wake up and fix this?

Screen Flickering

Hi,
So I offer this phone to my wife this xmas and everything was going smooth until we found this issue:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYFdyDwuS_w
The bottom screen does this flickering when typing with Swiftkey keyboard on some apps. This one is Doggcatcher but it happens on other apps too.
If I swap to GBoard it does not happen. We're on Android Pie 9.0.
Has anyone found this issue?
Seems like a graphic bug in that specific keyboard.
Please, i need help.
Evaluate for yourself whether it is related to this topic.
Occasionally, graphical glitches appear on my Mi A2 lite, (4/64, Android Pie, December update, locked bootloader, no root, intact system).
In most cases, they flickering all over the screen, and in some other cases they are frozen, as is shown in attachment.
They are completely random and they appear through many applications that i use.
I can not determine the cause.
Does anyone else have a similar problem?
me... on chrome and all app that use webview... during call status bar is flickering... when switch to the camera in whatsapp with swipe to set status... and other
Something similar here, if Facebook Messenger chat head is overlaying YouTube it flickers a lot (only the actual video but the description and recommend are always working without flicker also no problems in fullscreen), less often it happens with Chrome and sometimes YouTube does it without Facebook Messenger even being open (Android Pie Dec. 5) [also it didn't happen for the first few weeks with 8.1 then Pie got released and worked well for some days then this started to happen]
I have that problem , the notification bar flickers a lot and when on video calls, it shows a black flickering rectangle at the bottom of the screen
Hi, I've got the same problem here. For me, the flickering appears when the keyboard is open, and get faster while typing, please does someone know how to fix that?

It is true that it is the keyboard, my keyboard developer is fixing the bug making it do that as we speak but in my case the whole screen flashes black instead of the little box you have
The problem with the flickering screen in some apps like Youtube, Chrome or Instagram can be fixed as follows:
Go to Developer Options and activate "disable hw overlays"
However, the setting must be set again after every Phone restart.

Isn't that bad long term?
"Without a hardware overlay every application that is displaying things on the screen will share video memory and will have to constantly check for collision and clipping to render a proper image, this can cost a lot of processing power. With a hardware overlay each application gets its own portion of video memory, getting rid of the need to check for collision and clipping."

Question OnePlus 11 China version flash from ColorOS to OxygenOS issue

Hi everyone, I bought a OP11 Jupiter version from China and flash it from ColorOS to OxygenOS CPH2447_11_A.09. I've use it for a while and found some critical bugs like:
1. Auto brightness not working all time
2. Wake up screen but super laggy refresh rate (Randomly)
3. No response after screen off and need to long press power button to restart (Randomly)
4. Fingerprint sensor not working in always-on-display (Randomly)
4. Camera lagging when using social media apps (Randomly)
Waiting a stable OxygenOS ROM update for China version.
A10 is out today, just upgraded on mine through oxygen updater.

Can I get official update after flashing this?
Also, I found that there is a bug after A09 to A10.
For example, when I tap something in the telegram, the tapped item should be greyed shortly. But I cannot see this....

Based on what author said, you should be able to directly install official updates.
Did you factory reset your smartphone?
Let me know if it still randomly shuts off.
I have PB110 512GB, and the seller did flash the oxygen os (CPH2447_11_A.06) for me. My oneplus 11 is NOT ROOTED, and bootloader is NOT UNLOCKED, I cannot afford to lose security over unlocked bootloader
I cannot get any incremental updates so far and is stucked on A.06 for some time now. HOWEVER, I managed to find some workarounds some of the bugs, and my oneplus 11 is serving me as my daily driver, without TOO MUCH issue, it is now "quite stable".
From the said issue :
1. Auto brightness not working all time
2. Wake up screen but super laggy refresh rate (Randomly)
TURN OFF auto brightness and uses MANUAL brightness.
ALSO, DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT use QHD, STICK IT TO FHD mode, NOT STANDARD, but FHD MODE for displays, RESTART your phone if you get resolution after switching to FHD. FHD will eventually FIX some of the issues like FLASHY LOCK SCREEN, and other issues.
YOUTUBE LAG/OTHER FPS ISSUES : Use SETEDIT and adjust Peak Refresh from 120.001 fps to 59.99 fps, this will fix most of the stutering issue
3. No response after screen off and need to long press power button to restart (Randomly)
This bugs is seems to be NOTIFICATIONS. You have to CLEAR NOTIFICATIONS from time to time, DO NOT let notifications hanging and keep pushing too much into your notification bar, once a treshold is hit, the lock screen will crash and causes you need to REBOOT by pressing power button to restart
4. Fingerprint sensor not working in always-on-display (Randomly)
This got no fix, HOWEVER,off and on the screen will fix the issue, NOT a big deal.
4. Camera lagging when using social media apps (Randomly)
I dont use the social media camera that much often but I didnt see issue in using camera in whatsapp.
