I'm having a problem where the camera works for a couple of hours then just turns completely black and doesn't start working again until i reboot the phone.
When i say works for a couple of hours i don't mean a couple of hours of continuous use but a couple of hours general use of the phone.
I first notice it when I'm unlocking my phone as i have Face Unlock enabled,
The front camera won't start so i have to unlock using the backup unlock method (pattern in my case).
As soon as that happens the camera stops working all together, even in the camera app, like i said, until i restart the phone.
Any ideas ?
try this
1. Go to Settings, then scroll to and tap Apps.
2. Find the Gallery app and tap on it.
3. Tap Force Stop.
4. Tap Clear Cache.
5. Tap Clear Data.
6. Launch Gallery again.
You can now try to use your camera again to
see if lags were gone. If they persist, try
rebooting your phone.

I tested this on 3 vibrants, so far, so good. Its as simple as clearing the "Maps" cache. Before clearing, it took forever or not at all to get a lock. Now, it locks in ten seconds or less.
Will only work if you already flashed the new GPS files!
Instructions
1. From your home screen, hit the menu key.
2. Tap "Applications"
3. "Manage Applications"
4. Press Menu key
5. "Filter"
6. "All"
7. Tap "Maps"
8. Hit clear cache
9. Try it out!
Thanks bro. Will test it out today

It has been a couple days, is it still working? I ask because getting GPS to work for up to a day has never been a problem, but (nearly) inevitability it will fail after that at some point.
If the GPS is better, versus seems better, but degrades over time, I'd like to know to what degree so if you can stand it to monitor these 3 over at least a week, listing what changes every couple of days or so, that'd be helpful.
Well, I started to notice that getting a lock inside was getting considerably slower or not at all (which is not what gps is intended for, but hey) Outside, it is perfect. There was one phone that completely stopped getting a lock even after a reboot and a clearing of the cache. But a few hours later, it was working perfect...will continue to update...

1. I've notice that sometimes when I put off the charger from device and 'playing' with it the screen time not counting! only after I turn off and on screen its start counting the screen time.... also if I reboot/turn off-on device, if I won't turn off and then on the screen it won't count the time the screen is on.
Its not happens all the time, but most of the time it is... Why is it happens?
2. Today I had it for the first time (hope the last time also) - I downloaded a game via Play and at home screen I tried to pull down the notification bar/status bar and it wasn't respond.
I tried to change to horizontal mode and it didn't work also, I've checked that touching responds in these areas and seems works properly.
I tried force close launcher still didn't work - the area on this status is changed - the time is update well, also the notifications seems not stucking, only can't swipe it down (one nor two fingers).
The only way I've found to fix it is reboot the device, then it back work fine.
Anyone have any idea why is it happens?
3. On camera (stock app), taking few pictures in sequence with flash on (notice that when I took pictures on low light/dark place while photo taken with flash) rebooting the device. Seems like there is a bug with the flash module. maybe with stock camera app - but when you take few pictures (lets say 10 pictures sometime more, nothing costant) with flash the device freeze and reboot itself.... Why is that?
I'm using stock 4.2.2, no root or bl opened..
Anyone notice one (or some) of these issues? And/Or anyone have any idea why these (or some of these) happens?
Thanks.

Looks like a hardware issue. My friend's Xperia neo used to reboot on using flash. they replaced the phone then.

Maybe, but Im not the only who facing this issue... (about the flash)
I guess you don't have nexus 4 so you can't check it...
Anyone else notice any of the issues that I've mention and/or have any idea why is that happens?
Some people have the flash issue with 4.4 too.. seems like google didn't fix it.
Anyone else face one/some of these issues and has opinions on possible solutions?
Hello, I have p8lite few months and I see very often, almost always, when I run camera app, it looks that is is working, but..
when I left the application by HOME or BACK and return back to camera, here are various behaviors:
1) black screen and after some time camera app restart itself, and again and again
2) camera shows the screen but unable to get focus to object
3) camera works normally - this occurs only some times, 1) or 2) wins
Sometime helps end of app from tasks or clear data of camera.
I also made the factory reset and I camera is doing it again - the same on the clean system after some time.
When looking on LOGs, here is strange error about some buffer which launch app again and again.
I have original Android6, EMUI4.0 - C432B574
Any idea? Anybody see this problem?
thank you!

Try downgrading to B560 or lower.
OK this is weird.
I have my Note 3 running on Norma ROM v17 without problems and a ton of apps installed.
Few days ago I tried to use smart select (with the pen) when a toast message prompted "Unable to capture screenshot. Prevented by security policy." . Well I just ignored for the moment thinking that something went wrong with facebook app which I was trying to capture.
However this seems to be permanent behavior. I can't take screenshots neither by Power + Home combination neither by SmartCapture not even if I try to use a third party application!
Did anyone had faced the same problem again?
Can somebody point me to the direction to solve this?
One last addition.
I don't know if it is related to this problem but I have to report it. The device boot animation is getting resized to top left of the screen every time the device boots. What on earth can cause this?
I"m back wirh a solution.
I was for more days trying to discover how to solve this problem.
Finally I decided to backup my data and wipe the system.
And then I noticed a command lying in the menu called "Reset settings" which I had to try instead of resetting to factory default the phone.
So this command cleared the settings (I really dont know which particular settings were cleared though ) without losing my apps, data, phone setup etc.
The problem fixed.
:good:
Hello all, it's been 5 days since I owned Max Pro M2.
And all of sudden I am getting this weird issue where I am not able to see the minimized apps when pressing the overview button. It always shows No Recent items and it's really quite annoying when trying to move between apps.
I have tried the following options to resolve it but nothing worked so far.
1. Restarting the phone
2. Phone Off and turning On back.
3. Uninstalling the greenify app.
4. Resetting the app settings
Any suggestions or solution will be really helpful.

That's the same problem I am facing after FOTA update for the month of November
Solve for the issue- No Recent Apps
Thanks for the question. I bought Max Pro M2 and recently got stuck at no recent apps screen.
So as remedy I tried out something and it worked.
1) Press the power button.
2) Hold on Power Off option for few seconds. Just keep holding onto the option.
3) The device will boot and take you to the safe boot mode.
4) Now check if you have any recent apps on or not.
There will be apps unless you have deleted all.
5)Now reboot your device.
6) Check recent apps and you will get minimized apps there.
7) If nothing works, then try checking any there is any issues with screen pinning. But I am sure doing upto step 6 will be able to bring back your recent apps.
Thank you.
Thanks for the response. I am facing this issue very rarely and I will try the above solution when it happens again.
