The case is strange, because if i open camera only using 5Mpx i haven't this problem. If i switch to front, apparently it can run without problems (i tried to open/close many times and all was ok and also to switch record/photo mode). But when i try to access after done other work (ex. using browser etcc..) usually i encounter this FC + Freeze.
Can anyone investigate what can produce this random crash/freeze using front camera? i saw that when i've FC i can't close app and the conclusion is freezing tablet. I suspect that some memory portion can't be unbuffered. When i restart the device, i find that in the program specification, Camera App have written 6Kb of data. If i delete those datas, i can re-enter in camera mode, if i leave them, camera won't reset and then i still fall in this FC.

I have tried using the camera a few times and I have found the following problems:
- If I leave the app running I find it can drain the battery (not using power save)
- Once the Camera app caused the Phone app to crash so I had to reset to get the phone functions to work again
As these normal? Do I have a faulty unit?
Hi Jah,
I use the camera very often. Yes, leaving it on does drain battery just as most heavy applications would.
I have never had a crash caused by the camera. In your case, only if this happens repeatedly, it is significant, otherwise i am quite sure it was just a momentary thing. I dont suppose you have a faulty unit, it has more or less to do with the software rather than the hardware.
I did read about your problem earlier where you mentioned that your device heated up as you accidentally left the camera app on. That does seem weird, but i never came across such a situation so i cannot comment whether that is normal or abnormal.
If it really begins to bug you, just get it replaced from O2. Since you are on contract, i am sure they will be more than happy to replace it for you
Hi, I own a Vibrant for some months now and I'm using its 5MP camera quite a lot. In fact I find it quite decent for a phone cam in well-lit environments...
Lately I've opened the phone to apply the Hardware GPS fix. It worked (now it locks almost instantly), however the whole trial bequeathed me with a less than working camera (I swear I touch nothing close to there). Now all my images are blurry, case in point: http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/7028/picua.jpg (the original is in full 5MP glory supposededly "adjusted" for the given lighting and taken with a very steady hand).
Do you know what may caused this? Also did anyone else face the same problem (after operning the phone or not)? If so is it a problem that it can be solved?
I grew quite accustomed to my vibrant's camera, and I'll hate if I'm to lose its function now.
Thanks for your attention...
Erm, go to settings> applications> camera > erase everything cache, data etc.
That should make settings default.
Then try it, if it still does it.. erm find a camera app from market, and use that, then you know if its camera, or software.
thats not blurry, more like foggy. I had this same problem when i installed my ffc. I had put the phone back together before I let it fully dry. It might just be the inside of the glass that needs to be wiped off or something. good luck
Hi guys,
Has anyone noticed heavy lag and freezing when using the phone. I don't have a lot of apps installed and i have disabled most apps that i don't use and the phone is still giving me issues.
Any advice is appreciated. [emoji4]
I switched from RAZR MAXX HD and this phone is a space rocket in comparison to my old Droid. Have you tried factory restore? Then if it lags - I would try to return it to Moto.
Check CPU utilization. Maybe some app hangs on. I've noticed that noozy (music player) lags like hell when album is over and player remains in notification bar.

I have the same problem, I tried to removing as much as possible automatic start calling but often when I uncheck the receiver this puts me "failed" in Rom Toolbox, I have tried Xposed Auto Boot module, but I do not feel that it works.
But for me, I have a lot of app instaled and my UI is very modified (Nova Launcher, Gravity Box, various Widget), so I know why he lag, but I still find it overheating lot and that's what most do slow.
Hi, I am having same issue. My configs was same as you, @Trinytix, but I had uninstalled all of them because lag issues. And now I continue to have same lag issues. When I use the standard cam for five minutes it become freezy and lag and sometimes I lose some photos. All the time it is burning. Just stops to burn when I leave it without work about 30 minutes. I think the problem is the snapdragon 810 but in other foruns some say that the problems with this processor was fixed.
I've been having similar issues, I got really into theming (using nova prime) the last couple of months and at the end of January the phone started to really lag hard. A couple weeks ago I stopped being able to open any apps other than the phone and google's messenger. I tried to factory reset from settings and could not (device gets stuck un the power down sequence), so I went the recovery mode route. reinstalled a fraction of my apps, put back a much stripped down version of my theme, and things were mostly ok, if a little laggy. However, the phone insisted that there was no SD card (internal or external) despite there being a 64GB card, which would sometimes show up when viewed in settings, some apps (podcast addict) were able to access the internal memory, but others couldn't (cameras, sms, photos, music). Yesterday the keyboard ceased to launch for more than a split second at a time, and would not take any input (you would not believe how infuriating this is unless you've experienced it first hand). In an attempt to regain some functionality I started uninstalling everything that I don't consider vitally important (bus app, podcasts, messenger) couldn't get through more than 1 or 2 at a time because multiple windows would stack telling me processes like "motorola" "android" and "media" had stopped. I did succeed in stripping away all the automation apps and theming apps (tasker, nova, icon packs, etc). I can't even place a phone call on the first try.
Oh and to add insult to injury I have to darned green lines about 0.5cm wide now.
Looks like hw problem or system got corrupted. Try to re-flash whole system but if is hw...
Happened 3 times for me when I run camera from locked phone. It makes a sound of taking photo but won't take any photo. When unblocked after then doesn't work ether. Just restart is fixing.
Have you noticed any similar?

Try going into settings>applications and finding the camera app. Clear cache and data for the app and restart device. It's probably just due to buggy software and not a hardware issue if you're not getting any black screena or errors since the camera module itself is still functioning. Also see if changing the saving location to SD or Internal storage makes a difference.
Just got this phone 2 days ago after years of nexus /pixel usage. Great phone but the camera freezes my phone about half the time. After launching the camera my phone will become nonresponsive and I'll will have to power cycle it to regain access. Stock rom, stock camera app. This also happens with ported Google pixel cam app.
I've tried factory resetting, clearing cache, and clearing program data several times. Is this an intermittent hardware issue? Should I just return or try exchanging it?
Exactly the same here. On two occasions the phone became responsive again after a few minutes but now is the second time it hangs and I'll have to wait for the battery to drain down.
Did you flash anything? I thought it might be because I flashed a custom kernel, rooted it with Magisk. But I guess not.
Happens on stock Camera app + Google pixel app.
rooted with magisk. everything else stock, stock kernel as well. I was able to force reboot it (vol up + power). but it happens pretty consistently with any carmera app
Same problem here after rooting with Magisk. I don't seem to have the problem with the open camera app.
My front camera is not even functional for me. I can even use face unlock as it says that another system app is using it. Also I can not even swap camera to the front facing camera. I called support and hope to hear something from them on it
I unrooted (flashed stock boot image in fastboot) and the camera freeze issue seems to go away... Pretty strange bug tho
Never realized how many ads there were until you stop using adaway
Try out Blokada! It's an open source ad blocker that uses a VPN to filter out ads instead of he hosts method that AdAway does. It doesn't require root.
I used AdAway for years, but finally switched to Blokada because it's a lot more convenient. You can enable and disable it on the fly and add things to the whitelist when you find pages you actually want to view are being blocked. As you may have noticed in your usage, when that would happen with AdAway, you'd have to figure it out and then reboot because Android doesn't reload the hosts until rebooted.
Please see my thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/help/camera-settings-crashes-t3865560
cool ill check it out... right now using vanced youtube and ms edge browser which has built in adblock. seems faster than chrome
you notice any battery drain from blokada?
I don't. Technically, running a VPN should cause _some_ amount of battery drain, but it seems negligible. My battery usage didn't noticeably change when I started using it.
