[Q] HTC One M8 Camera/Video Recording Bug

I currently have the HTC One (M8) for Att and have the strangest bug in the HTC stock camera app.
When I go into video mode and hit the "record button", the button will only work EXACTLY every other time.
Now this is what I currently done to try to find a solution to No Avail.
Force Closed the app
Cleared the Cache
Reset the phone many times
Factory restored the phone twice.
Now the Google camera works fine, so this seems to be a software issue. I have got the HTC Camera app to work only once
by resetting the phone, and not installing any updates from the play store for the htc apps, and att bloatware.
btw the htc m8 is not rooted, as stock as they come.
If you have any thoughts on how to fix this bug I would GREATLY appreciate it

I have noticed exactly the same thing. On completely stock phone on 1.54.401.10.
I am learning to double stab the shutter button! Almost certainly a bug HTC need to squash, unless it's in the manual somewhere. Do you also have terrible strobing when you use live HDR mode?

Try disabling the Google Now/Ok Google available in all screens. I think it interferes with microphone on the video camera. The first press seems to disable the Ok Google listening, then the second press allows recording. It worked for me.. It seems to cause crashing of the camera app in some instances as well, according to the thread here....http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/ota-2-22-1540-3-4-4-3-camera-app-t2831209

Good to know my solution is helping people figure it out. I went through 3-4 wipes/restores/flash to custom roms, thinking it was either Xposed or root causing it to figure it out, lol, so I'm glad that you guys didn't have to go through that.

Just for info.. I am on ARHD 7.0, and used velvet.zip to enable Ok Google in all screens. Guess camera 6.0.772726 did not like that.. Any updated camera.apk I tried was not successful either..

UPDATE Android 4.4.3 Update Fixes the bug, (Currently I have the Att model) no more issues with google now and video recording, the camera infacts shows the mic from google now stopping with a message

thanks for this I thought is was exposed as well but turning of ok google from any screen did the trick

This thread just saved my Saturday! On VIPER 3.1 and I don't use the video feature much but had to send a short instructional video via text on how to remove a laptop hard drive and the darn camera kept crashing...disabling Google now on all screens did the trick and saved me hours of frustration! Thank you!

I hate reviving old threads but I am encountering this now on my Verizon lollipop M8. I turned off the Google voice detection on all screens to no avail. Then I find a nearly identical setting in Nova Launcher settings. Sadly that made no difference either , but good to know if that is the cause for others.
I narrowed the problem down to AudioManager Pro. The moment I uninstall it the camera works great. I hope they update AM Pro soon but I doubt it. It hasn't had an update since 2013.

Android 11 is here!

Happy holidays everyone,
Hope you've seen the great news! Android 11 started it's rollout on the Taiwan firmware, build 58.1.A.0.921. looks like it's right under 1GB for the download.
Check the link below for the article:
Android 11 begins rolling out for Sony Xperia 1 II
After confirming last week, Sony has now set the ball rolling with the Android 11 upgrade now heading out for Xperia 1 II devices.

Flashed the Customized RU version (non-wipe) this morning. Works great, only thing i noticed is that the animation is heavier.

Any changes to volte? How's the 120 frames for cinema pro?

Waiting for US or HK (current firmware)

Still waiting in Europe

Might be a stupid question, but can you share what you used to flash it? I have an AT52, and no OTA, Xperia companion also says no update, and I never seem to have much luck with the various flash tools floating around the forums lol.

[GUIDE] Flashing a different customization on the XQ-AT51 with FlashTool | XDA Developers Forums (xda-developers.com)
This guide works like a charm, just read the full topic and you are fine.

Thanks! It worked. I do notice that all app icons on the home screens are square now. Interesting. Time to play around with it.

No 120FPS option in 4k in Cinema Pro unfortunately? I thought they stated this was added for our 1ii. Bummer.
Edit: Just found it. Turns out I am dumb lol. It is there!

One more thing I just realized: Even after several restarts, the recent app button (on the 3 button navigation bar on the bottom), does not seem to work at all.

Did it bring any screen refresh rates above 60hz? There was speculation it would although at a lower screen resolution.

Update just arrived for me
I'm unlocked UK version

That's too bad. Sony's communication about this type of thing is pretty poor

So far so good, nice update

i got it today!
but im depressed...
I like the 4k @120FPs... but i would like to see a Focusbracketing function in the PhotoProApp, and a software button for the shutter.

I got the update today (located in Germany and all stock). So far, I haven't noticed any changes. Do we have a comprehensive change log somewhere?

I got the update today in The Netherlands

Hi, me too. But I have an issue with my WiFi connection. I use a FritzBox 7590 with WPA2 + 3. With Android 10 it worked flawlessly with the new security setting but with today's update I can't use WPA3 anymore.
Does anyone have the same issue?
Cheers

Question S21 FE 5G - problem with gesture typing

Hi. Yesterday I got new S21 FE 5G and I have problem with gesture typing. As you can see in the video below, when I try to type longer words with fast finger slide, the keyboard often "loses" my move and starts a second one, resulting in typing two different words, instead of one. Tested on a Samsung and Gboard keyboard. I have found many threads across the internet about this problem on S22, but they say it was fixed in June by software update. Now we have October and this issue exist on my S21 Fe. Any ideas on how this can be fixed?

Same here. I tried both keyboards too. It is the worst phone I have ever owned. I can't believe a high-end phone has such problems and such a bad camera.

Some people on Reddit say that this problem appeared since September update, but I can't confirm this as I bought phone this week. That's why I am wondering if it is damaged touchscreen and I should return phone or just wait for update.

I have the same. And it started 2 updates ago.

I noticed there is a new update CVI5 (snapdragon). I installed it and I can swipe type with no error. However I am not used to doing this and I am a bit slow at it so I cannot recreate this issue. Maybe you can test after this update and let us know if it's fine now.

I have this update since wednesday, it didn't change anything for me.

I have this problem sometimes after the update
I was thinking it due to my new screen protector
I hope someone can port a pixel rom to this device

Hey
I also have the same problem!!!
And yes, I confirm that I've only had the problem for a few months (after a system update....)
it's very annoying, I slide very fast on the keys and, it takes a lot of time to check and correct the texts entered......
And i confirm that I already installed the latest firmware (CIV5....)

Hello. I have the same problem. I bought the phone 2 weeks ago and was immediately offered an update. After that I have the same problem with every keyboard. Has anyone contacted support yet?

@coolawy may I copy your picture and post it in the German Samsung forum? I'm making a post about the problem.

Sure, go ahead

@GymPanse , any news from the German Samsung forum?
This problem is really starting to annoy me
Thank you !
Edit:
I also opened a post on the French Samsung forum.... @coolawy , I also copied your screenshot, thx

So far I only got the tip to reset the settings of the Samsung keyboard to the default setting. Of course it didn't help.
Then I should send a bug report through the Members App. I did, but haven't gotten a response yet.

Same here! They set the post as solved and asked me to contact the support by email
I replied that they can't set the thread as solved and they have to remove this tag.

Edit:
I also sent an email to the support.... I'll let you know as soon as I receive an answer!
Edit 2022/11/13 :
Samsung still didn't reply to my email....
I really don't know why I bought a so expensive phone............

I wrote to polish Samsung support about a month ago. They were replying fast, but they weren't helpful at all, so maybe you aren't missing anything.
I am wondering if this issue is fixed in November update? Has anyone already received it?

Today the support answered my email.... they just asked me to install Gboard while i said it doesn't work with gboard too......
No comments......

Hello there, how are you??
Did you test with refresh rate set at 60 instead of 120 ???
I just tried and it seems that I don't have the issue
Could someone have a try? Thx
Edit:
I talked to fast.... the issue is the same, even with the refresh rate set at 60...
Maybe a little better.... but still have the issue

I thought it was a unique problem, but then it's typical. I have the same problem. I hope that switching to Android 13 will solve the problem.

I'm having the same problem on gboard. I thought it was my screen protector cause I've installed a new one recently.

General Android 13 with OneUI 5.0 out in the EU

France, Italy and UK confirmed so far, no update for me though.

installing right now - T-Mobile, Czech republic

Just installed in sPain. Feels way snappier

Update done, Portuguese TPH version. Since its new ONE UI and new Android, its important to do a factory reset?

You need to wipe cache and repair apps by plugging in the phone into PC, then turn off phone and hold launch button + volume up, fixed issues for me!

for me it is very annoying - previously I used to enter my password once a week and now it happens to me several times a day because the failure to recognize my fingerprint several times forces me to use a password (and I have a long one)

I have no problems with fingerprint recognition. But since I updated 4 days ago, the fingerprint reader didn't "light up" on turned off screen several times already.
I also experienced very heavy battery drain the day after I installed the update - 35% over night, then ~15%/hour during short geocaching hike. But rebooting the phone fixed that.
Other than that, I don't really see any difference in speed/performance - I feel it's identically great as it was before.
Oh and the new "pocket detection" screen with swipe up is really annoying and difficult to unlock.

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone else lost the ability to use the cellular band selection hidden network setting - under the Call Settings menu? I'm not able to access it in Android 13. It says the app is no longer installed.
This is the menu: com.samsung.android.app.telephonyui.hiddennetworksetting.MainActivity

Update went smoothly for me, no hiccups or crashing problems after it.
Biggest problem I've had so far, like jenda.69 mentioned, is the new accidental touch protection screen, not sure why Samsung felt the need to change something when it was already working well. I could not for the life of me unlock the screen.
Other than that, I'd say everything else is pretty good. Mini stutters from OneUI 4 are fixed, like the ones that happened often in the quick settings menu. Personally I prefer the animations from OneUI 4 but I don't have a problem with the new ones either. The new clock font options are pretty slick as well.
Lastly some nitpicks; The default animated call screen is gone which is a very minor thing but I did like that gradient animation a lot and how it changed according to contact pictures. New one is pretty dull. Samsung didn't make use of the new Android 13 media player either which is kinda disappointing but I don't have too big a problem with that.
Overall a decent update. 9/10 has a little something for everyone

General New update firmware

Update v3.18 just dropped via ota, up from v3.12. Happy updating!

Mind sharing the changelog? Thanks!

To me
Afterparty launchers didn’t carry some gestures from the original launcher (swipe apps and accidental touch)
Some mistakes in some translations and some margins in some buttons
Kill all apps button in the show all apps screen didn’t work properly
Audio problems with some dongle dacs (though don’t think it will be addressed)
Security patch from November (i mean… not a biggie but still its nice to be updated)
Notifications not showing up from time to time
Don’t know if anyone else experienced this but sometimes the brightness “flickers” or dims up and down in low light condition, don’t know if anyone else addressed that
That’s all i remember as of now

Security Patch is January 1, 2023
Performance seems fine so far. Didn't have any issues before.

The brightness flicker is really annoying in the morning/evening when it's really noticeable... hopefully that's been fixed

I think they will fix something with the update since they pulled it out yesterday and hasn't been available as of yet

with this google security update can you still disable all googles services?
as far as i know this maybe the only phone you can degoogle without rooting
