[Q] Camera not working, possibly disabled?

My Nexus 10's camera is not working - t goes into the app and all I see is a gray screen. For a while I had an exchange server configured that disabled my camera, so I'm wondering if this could be a residual setting due to that. I performed a factory reset, but to no avail.
Is there a way to perform a harder reset, so that all system files and setting are wiped out?
(I once heard that the build.prop is not overwritten on a factory reset).
Thanks.

Have you tried a different version of Gapps? I had something similar, where the camera would take a minute to startup completely.
Do other camera apps work? Try a free one from the Play Store.

Nope, I don't think it's a delay. It just doesn't work, even with a 3rd party app I used to use on my phone.

Very strange indeed. Maybe you could reflash the stock ROM. I think the factory reset might not clear the system data for apps. Just a guess though. Beyond that I'm at a loss. Sorry.

Correct. If the problem is in the /system partition, a factory reset will never touch it.

camera hang
I got a refurbished N10 a few days ago, I did a stock 4.4. flash and the camera initially was black, then after a few goes it would work for a few seconds then become non-responsive, had to a hard reboot once.
Is this a dud unit I got or a problem others have? Remember - stock 4.4 no special kernel etc. I did have a special kernel but I flashed back to stock in trying to fix the problem but nada.

Similar issue. Completely stock N10 on 4.4. Camera works fine after boot but a day or two later it is exhibiting this issue of only showing a completely black screen on the default camera app. Same thing with any other app that uses the camera: blackness. And again a reboot rectifies it for a while. Anyone know what is going on with the camera on 4.4?

I happened to have the same issue (but my camera crashed and notified me), and when I searched for it I got this massive thread on Google's product forum. Guess any Nexus device has a chance of having cam boot issues: https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/nexus/z47YrU5rxrc

[Q] Switching to front facing camera produces error. 'Camera not connected'.

Helllllo everyone!
So I apologize for being one of those people who just come here to ask questions. Unfortunately life doesn't have room for me spending time playing with my Android devices anymore, so having it 'work' is more important to me.
I am on 4.3, ParanoidAndroid 3.96. I am not on the latest because it took some time to have the app TouchControl work (with my Franco kernel), and Secure Settings etc. that I chose to just stick with it because it worked really well for me.
The problem!
I recently noticed that if I tried to switch to the front facing camera, it'd hang. After that, I would not be able to use my torch/led, and going into the camera would tell me that "The camera is not connected" or something like that. I could only fix this by clearing all the data on my Gallery, and shutting down, and then turning on again. Reboot would not work.
If I did that, I could go into my camera and use the rear camera fine. Take pictures, record video, etc. Torch works as normal. It's just that once I attempt to go into the front camera, this problem happens.
It's weird because I didn't flash anything or change any settings when this happened. I DID install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.mrogalski.saidit which wouldn't let me record a video while being used, but I since disabled/uninstalled it which solved that problem.
I have done a lot of googling on this problem, and noticed that I am not the only one who has this problem. For some people it seems like their phone is new, and some it just happens out of nowhere. For that reason I suspect it might be a hardware problem that can occur randomly, but it's weird that after triggering the problem, that my torch won't work anymore as well. Unless the torch is somehow tied to the camera/flash, and by triggering the problem when I try to access the front camera, it isn't able to 'call' the camera/flash anymore as a result?
I bought my Nexus 4 from Google in May 2013, so I believe I still have until May 2014 to RMA it, correct? Would I get another Nexus 4 at this point, or maybe I'd get a Nexus 5 instead?
Thanks in advance for any insight into my problem!

I know you would like to keep the rom you are on but to be on that rom you must have a custom recovery installed. So if I was you I would back you're rom up then flash something different to see if its hardware related or not . If so then return the phone.

Thanks for the reply.
I tried installing the latest PA rom, but came up with an error. I had the rom I was on originally still, so I tried wiping and flashing it again. Finished flashing, went and opened the camera and it still happened. Looks like it's a hardware problem then!
I guess I'll go look up a guide to flashing back to stock now.

Camera cannot connect...getting mad

Curious if anyone has a fix or reason why this is happening. I'm rooted and have run a few ROMs and the google camera almost constantly fc. I've run chroma, pure nexus, du, ect and sometimes I get it to work but it seems lately it will not connect. Not sure why or what's making it happen. Wondering if anyone has some ideas or whatever on what's going on ...thanks

What ROM are you currently running? I'm on Chroma and whilst I haven't directly experienced that issue yet (fingers crossed I don't), i did see in the thread at some point, someone did experience the same 'camera cannot connect' issue. The solution was to:
1. Uninstall the camera app, and then
2. In recovery, Flash the new Google Camera zip (pulled from Stock N6P factory image) - available on the first post of the Chroma ROM page (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...-chroma-11-08-2015-lockscreen-navbar-t3244444).
If you're not sure on how to uninstall system apps (your current offending camera app):
1. Get Titanium Backup (if you don't have it already) and
2. Go to Batch Actions and then "uninstall system apps" within Titanium Backup.
3. Deselect all (just to be safe).
4. Find the camera app, and run uninstall action.
Now you can Reboot into recovery and then flash that zip mentioned above.
If all else fails, you might need to restore factory image and start again... which blows if you have a tonne of apps.
Good luck!

^^^ I was running chroma a few hrs ago. Then tried candysix and du. All of which the camera app closes. Now I'm on aosip lololol. Ridiculous. I have camera fv5. For some reason that works but google camera doesn't. I have tried the chroma camera zip as well. No go. I'm at a loss. I've tried everything minus reflashing stock and starting over again. I had it working days ago although I would get a fc and found if I switched to front facing cam to rear cam it stopped the fc, but now I can't even do that

Audio/Sound does not work, youtube doesn't play

I had the A.R.I.S.E sound mod installed and last night the audio on my nexus 6p stopped working completely, youtube won't load videos, pandora/spotify/gonemad music player all just skip songs endlessly and I was on mtc19x for the longest time, rooted and with that one mod and everything worked fine.
I also had gravitybox installed. I flashed to MTC20F and took the nougat update, I still saved all my userdata but sound doesn't work. I even updated to the newest ARISE sound mod and still nothing. Dolby atmos just crashes and no sound works at all.
I really need some help with this cause I'm at a total loss right now, I didn't do anything different yesterday and everything just broke. I also cleared the cache and turned off bluetooth and everything.
I also just went back to stock everything, still no luck after wiping it all.

Flash stock and see if your sound works.

If you've also recently flashed a custom kernel, check sound settings via a kernel manager app (ex. Ex Kernel app). It's possibñe speaker setting has been set o a negative value, causing sound not to play.

RMA

I had this same thing happen with my Nexus 5 after a year and a half, the battery started depleting in 30 minutes, I think it was the dsp in the SD800 chipset but I don't know how to test it to check if the dsp is in tact, any suggestions?

For me, the battery behaves as properly as possible. Screenshot below

I've already flash the rom..yes it's stable version MIUI 11 Global..there's no dark mode, android version still 7.1.1 from MIUI 9 until now android version still same..so bored..so i decided to use any custom rom has using android 9.0..and waiting custom rom android 10 for Mi Max 2..

My max 2 became really slow after miui 11. The shortcuts page on the left freezes halfway and then comes up 20-30 seconds later, when i press the home button it takes 5 to 10 secs to go to the home screen. All buttons and respective actions take slower than it used to. It is so annoying!

After installation on my phone, everything works as it should. I did full wipe during installation. I have no problems with the speed of the phone. Earlier, Android 9. Recovery was installed in the treble version.
In general, I recommend this rom because everything should work as it should

works perfectly fine for me, although this is not my daily driver device.

i have also updated to MIUI 11, its working perfectly, no battery issue, no hang n all. everything is perfect.

Good afternoon everyone,
do you know how you can put the navigation bar in miui 11 ???
