My nexus 4 has started to develop some issues. The most annoying one is the frequent failure of the camera to record video. I press red record button which registers the touch but no recording starts. It will work for a while after a reboot but always happens again.
When i try to use an alternative camera app to record video i get a message saying "oops video recording is not currently working on your device" so its not just the camera app playing up.
Does anyone know what could be causing this or how to fix it. Running stock and unrooted.
Edit: so playing about with this a bit more and ive discovered it only happens after i try to watch a video from the gallery. So i boot up my phone, record a video and its works ok. I can record videos fine. However if i go into the gallery and try to watch one of the videos playback fails. If i then go back to the camera and try and record a new video i get the issue as described above. BUT if i do the same thing but view the video outside of gallery (i used mx player) the video plays fine and the camera recording continues to work.
So it seems its an issue with gallery playback of the video. I have forced stopped the gallery, cleared data and cache but that didn't help.
Didnt notice that every video I record after my last update , can only record audio and video the first minute or less and then for some reason playback stops but you can still listen to audio. This has happened to all my recorded videos.
Read somewhere on the internet that you have to delete DATA and clear CACHE on the Camera app, same results. ANyone else has run in the same problem??Any fix?
Yesterday I upgraded to 5.0, I had some trouble in the beginning i.e phone wouldn't boot and recovery mode didn't work. Flashing the bootloader again fixed this though.
For the last 24 hours I've noticed that my sound doesn't work. Music from Spotify? Nope, doesn't work. Music from local files? Nope, no sound.
When I try to watch a Youtube video I get "There was a problem while playing. Touch to retry". I.e it doesn't work.
Trying to record OR view videos on snapchat is a no-go. I get "Video recording failed" when I try to record and when I try to view someone's video the display turns black and I have to lock/unlock it again for it to work.

No matter what app I use, I cannot get videos to play properly that I've recorded with the Camera. I can hear audio, but video remains black/blank. I've tried Photos (the stock choice), VLC, Focus, and MiXplorer. None of them can do it. Focus at least shows the first frame of the video but nothing else except audio.
Has anyone else run into this?
When I record video on my LeEco pro3, it usually can record for as much as I want. I went to two concerts recently and everytime I tried recording a song, it stops recording at varying short intervals with a timeout error message. Has anyone had this issue? I will try to see if I can replicate the issue and send screenshots.
Use my camera daily for short videos at my work. We shoot 5-10 videos a day at about 9 minutes each. Never had an issue. X727
That's the strange thing. I have been able to record long videos at home but the concerts ones never last more than a few minutes. Maybe the constant refusing due to lighting changes causes the camera phone to crash?

I can confirm what you are saying. I have used the phone on a tripod to capture hour long videos, several of them. But when I use the camera on hand and try to capture videos while moving around, it just stops recording at random moments.
In my case the app didn't crash, it just stops recording, Pressing the record button starts recording again.

This is exactly what the problem is. If you see the error message again, can you take a screenshot for me? I don't get the option to continue to record. It just closes the camera application when i press okay.
