I've not been able to record video as of recently. I'm not exactly sure when it started, but I've tried out several froyo sense ROMs but recording didn't work on any of them.
When I open the camera app I am able to take photos but as soon as I choose video mode, the camera app becomes unresponsive and I'm only able to close (or hide) it by hitting the home button. The phone becomes very hot because the camera is still running in the background and I have to restart my phone.
I've updated to the latest radio (32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20). Also tried downgrading the radio (to 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08) but that didn't help either.
When you're changing ROMs, are you doing a full wipe/factory reset and wiping the cache?

Yepp, always wipe everything.
Okay.
Download the Pinky Desire v0.4 ROM (if it is still up) I know this ROM works find on video and 720p (As I am using it at the moment) also do a full reset of the phone and make sure you have a partition set on the SD card.
If it doesn't work then, try un-rooting the phone and put stock Froyo 2.2 on the phone.
If it is still broken after that - I would think hardware problem with the phone. Return it under warranty if that is the case? (Obviously leave a un-rooted, stock ROM on the phone when you take it back)
Good luck!
Hi all,
I've been having quite a few problems with my month-old HTC 10, specifically with the camera (and the WLAN coverage, but at least that's working somewhat!) I finally unpacked it last week and have spent the whole week since attempting to fix the "Camera has stopped/Unable to connect to camera" problem. The selfie camera, however, is perfect and can be used in other apps, but attempting to switch to the camera on the back results in a freeze/force close. Considering I decided on the HTC 10 because of the camera quality, I'm a bit disappointed so far. A google search reveal a number of people having the same problem, but no real solution. Here's what I've done so far:
- Set up phone, comes with Nougat 7.0. Camera works at first, though seems to have problems with the auto focus. Camera app then updates overnight and stops working. Clear data/cache, remove updates, hard reset - no good. Flashlight does not work either, simply says "loading..." and stays like this indefinitely until closed.
- Factory reset, no change. Switch to safe mode, no change. Decided to unlock bootloader and install custom ROM after hearing that would fix it (I know, I know...I should have just sent it back at this point). Install Viper 5.10 + root with magisk, camera and flashlight still not working. Safe mode, not working. Full wipe in TWRP, RUU back to stock firmware (CID: HTC_034, flashed 2.41.401.3 signed firmware). Set up phone again on stock firmware, still no change in camera or flashlight.
- Install LeeDroid 10 3.7.0 custom ROM, root with magisk. I get a breakthrough here; turning off "OK Google" in settings gets the camera and flashlight working again! Still have the "laser autofocus blocked" issue, but I figure I'll deal with that later. Backed up with TiBu.
- Next day, decide to use a ROM that includes the latest security patches (got a bit annoyed waiting for HTC to push out the European updates, still on 1st January patch) so went for Resurrection Remix. Wipe, clean install etc. Camera stops working again, no change in safe mode. Wipe, clean flash back to LeeDroid, camera is no longer working, in normal mode or safe mode.
- Went through a bunch of custom ROMs at this point; ICE, Dirty Unicorns, LineageOS, then decided to try RR, LeeDroid and Viper again - camera still not working in normal mode or safe mode. With the ROMs that required GApps, used every package in both Open GApps and Dynamic GApps to install. No change to camera, Google Camera was unable to start as well.
- Flashed upgraded RUU (2.41.401.4 signed firmware) and went through the process of wipe/clean install custom ROM/test camera with all the above custom ROMs in normal mode and safe mode. No change in camera, though the ROMs were all excellently made
At this point I'm pretty stumped If it was a hardware problem, why did it work when I first installed LeeDroid, but not after? It's not been mishandled, it's just been sitting on my desk since I got it. The fact that it doesn't work in safe mode would suggest to me that ,maybe, a camera driver has been deleted somewhere along the way? I also tried a load of other methods I found on various message boards; flash it with no SD card inserted, flash without SIM card installed, etc. but absolutely nothing works.
Third party camera apps also don't work; most simply crash on starting. Open Camera says "Unable to access camera. Maybe being used by another app?", so I tried removing the permissions of all apps that had access to the camera except the camera itself - no change. Deleted cache/data/preferences of all apps - no change.
Finally, I had a look at the HTC diagnostics test using *#*# 3424 #*#* on the dialler - the camera test doesn't even show up! :crying:
I've run out of things to try at this point, so I'm posting this here to see if anyone can possibly shed some light on this very strange situation. Is there something I can do to fix it? Or should I start begging Amazon to give me a refund? Unfortunately I'm a week outside their 30 day return window...lesson learned for next time; if in doubt, send it back!
Oops, meant to post this in the Q and A forum. Don't want to spam a duplicate, is it possible to move it over?
Hardware issue. Contact HTC for a replacement. sounds like it may just not be connected. I had one with no working vibration notification, the motor would turn on, you could hear it, but the phone wouldn't vibrate. Got it replaced ASAP! I recommend you do the same!

Same issue here. The only thing that works for me (so far) is flashing back to a Marshmallow rom. HTC has been completely silent on this issue in terms of actually fixing the problem. They know the problem is there for only a small number of us and so aren't going to do anything about it. Fine. This was my first and will be my LAST htc phone. Buh bye htc, you'll never get another dime from me.
Did you fix the issue, coz i have the same in my HTC 10
Hi
follow my post in anildsouza73 blog..I will show how to fix it if someone really spoiled it...have a good day..
from yesterday morning the problem appeared to me. Initially, the difficulty in focusing, then rebooting the impossibility of opening the camera app and the flashlight. I found on Youtube the videos that showed the same problem. Is there a solution today?
Hi all
I found if I cleared my flashlight cache and then the camera cache, soft reset phone I could get the camera working again. Only problem now is the autofocus is not working properly. Any ideas for that?
Same problem. Focus stopped working, then I cannot launch camera app. Anyone found a solution?
I got my 2nd note 5 global last week. The first one is perfectly fine on the same firmware. With the new one I had two issues from the get go.
The screen started flickering when turned to full brightness (this issue was gone after the third factory reset) and the device is heating up which still persists.
I already reached out to the shop I bought from. I heard that with this miui version, there are some issues on other Xiaomi devices but that the 5 pro is fine.
Any chance, that by flashing to an older version of miui this issue could be solved?
For anyone interested I include two videos. One of the phone while charging and one while idle. In both situations the phone was factory reset and no mobile data or wifi on.
Videos were mirrored after the upload and I don't have the original files anymore but you get the idea.

If you unlocked bootloader in your new global version Flash MIUI 10 through TWRP. Hopes it will solve the heating issue.
Thanks for the advice flashed Miui 10, Resurrection Remix and Lineage os all with the same issue. Will try to lock the bootloader again and still waiting for an answer from the shop.
try going developer options,
under background process limit, no processes
under background check, tick only necessary apps, untick those that you do not want to run in background like facebook
So i just updated my moto z play to OREO via the official OTA last month. Since then i've been experiencing bad battery life. I already did a factory reset and monitored the battery with just the stock apps installed and the battery bug "system ui' is always the culprit. Booted to safe mode and that bug is gone.
So here is my scenario
Safe Mode: SYSTEM UI bug NOT PRESENT
Normal Mode with NO third party apps: SYSTEM UI BUG STILL PRESENT
I can maybe conclude that it was the OREO update that was causing this. Maybe a corrupt download or something.
Issues i'm facing
1.Battery bug "system ui' always on top of my battery charts
2.Navigation bar changing positions each unlock, some say its an oreo feature to prevent burn in but when i booted to safe mode the nav bars are not changing positions. So which is which?
3. Wifi sometimes doesn't wanna turn on, if i hit turn on it just resets back to off regardless. Needs a phone restart to work again.
4. Interface sometimes freezes and lags while scrolling.
My question is that is it possible to re install the stock oreo update AGAIN even if i'm already on official 8.0? I'm not rooted and never did rooted my z play. Already did multiple factory resets but the same scenario above happens. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
I knew the soak test were out but did not know that Oreo release was available ota. It will change your booltloaders. Every time I google for oreo I get a bunch of problems listed but you may find more help there than here since this tends more toward custom ROMs. Make sure none of the apps you have added are loading things...
Whenever I try to switch to front camera on my redmi note 5 pro(whyred) it switch to secondary rear camera.Don't know what's going on.need help!I tried different apps, different roms, clean stock firmware.*Video calling apps are also not working. This happened few days ago maybe because I was trying to enable camera 2 API without root from an app from playstore which is highly unlikely. I can't see front camera details in any hardware spec app so I'm assuming hardware issue but then why it's switching to second rear camera I'm confused. Anyone .?
You can't enable cameraapi2 without root, flash a miui with mitools, clear data as well. See if cameras with then.
