While using the stock camera or Google camera, anytime I use the flash, my camera locks up (black screen) ... I have to hit the power button just to close the screen.
It doesn't do this with ProShot, but I haven't tried any others?
Stock, non rooted, Oxygen 2.1.1.
Any fix?

I have the stock AT&T Pure.
For some reason I can't figure out, the camera isn't working properly anymore. It starts up fine, the autofocus works, I can enter the Settings and the Advanced Settings menus and change settings without problem.
However, when I touch the shutter button to actually take the photo, the camera responds like it should, makes the shutter sound, and even displays the photo I just took on the screen. But that's where it freezes. The photo "review" never goes away. I've even tried changing the review duration to zero, but when I take a picture the screen just becomes white and freezes there. The "back" arrow button below the screen does not respond when this happens, nor does the Home button. But the "end call" button does take me to the home today screen. From there, if I go back to the camera tab and touch the icon to start the camera, nothing happens. The button responds visually when I touch it, but the camera does not start. Only a soft reset (or sometimes running CleanRAM at Level 3) will make the camera app start again, but still not completely take a photo. No photo is actually stored/saved when this happens.
I thought it might be due to lack of free memory, but even after a soft reset or running CleanRAM this still happens. I even tried reducing the resolution to see if that did anything, but it didn't.
I think it has to be one of the other apps I installed that's interfering with the camera. After a hard reset, the camera worked fine. Then after I installed my apps this started happening again. Nothing I can see in the registry settings for the camera look incorrect or out of the ordinary. Only one or two of my apps have functions that access the camera, and the same thing happens when I enter the picture mode in them. I removed both of them but still have the same experience.
Any ideas?
I'm afraid there is no other way:
- hard reset
- install your apps one by one, softresetting each time
- check the camera
- install another app
...
In the end you will know what's wrong.
Hi All,
Is there a way to enable geotagging if I activate the camera app by using the "hold vol-down button to turn on phone" method? This is only a problem when I use the pattern lock. ie, if I use swipe to unlock, the geotagging option won't be disabled. I have the Korean F320k version of the LG G2 btw.
Thanks!

Hi. Any luck tracking this down? I would like to have geotagging on all the time, yet it seems over time the geotagging setting gets turned off. It's frustrating. I also use a pattern lock and occasionally use the "hold vol-down" method to take a picture. Maybe that's whats causing it. From now on, I'll turn geotagging back on and will try to avoid using the back button to take a picture while locked and only take pictures after unlocking and opening the camera app manually via launcher icon. will report back in few days if every picture I take will have location stored. PS: I have the Verizon LG G2.

It seems to disable geotagging when you launch the camera app and bypass the lock screen, either by sliding it in from the side while locked, or by holding the volume button. The only reason that I can think of is that somehow the camera app isn't allowed to access the GPS when the phone is locked, or there is some security issue that LG sees for blocking it.

This happens to me constantly and it's infuriating. It's been a month since it turned itself off and I had no idea. I use the lock screen camera all the time, so that seems like a plausible cause, though on all my other devices it doesn't have that problem.

It's definitely exclusive to this device. I used plenty of Android devices that do not exhibit the same issue. It's related to something LG has done.
As the title says, I can't get flash to work in Snapchat. It works in every single other camera app, but not in snapchat. I've tried reinstalling but it does the same thing. If i turn flash on and hold down the shutter button the flash will blink on for a second but then snapchat starts recording a video. On other devices as soon as I turn flash on, the light stays on until I turn it off or I take a picture. Anyone else having this issue?
Hi there,
I dont really know when it started, but when I am trying to quick access the camera via tapping the powerbutton twice while the phone is locked, the camera app pops up but the screen stays black. Hitting the HomeButton and the powerbutton twice again lets the camera app pop up again, this time showing a picture.
Sometimes it even works like it should on the first time, but most of the time it doesnt. Anyone else having this behavior?
Any recommendations? Running entirely on current stock firmware.
Thank you and best regards,
joha

I've had this happen once maybe twice, the camera doesn't seem to wake just the app so you have the app showing but no image from the camera. Screen lock is set tell use pin on my phone. I'd guess it's a bug.
Could try turning the lock screen off see if it still happens.
I can confirm this behavior. But I cannot reproduce it systematically. Sometimes it works sometime not.
Hi, does anyone face issue of black screen after using camera for some time and closing and re opening the camera app? This issue started to appear right from realme UI update. But in recent f10 update, they has mentioned that fixed black screen while using camera. But I still face that issue. To open camera again, I need to restart the phone. Along with the issue of camera, There is also a similar issue that the mobile will not respond for some time after pressing power button. It will show blank screen and will not show lock screen and fingerprint sensor will not work. To make it work, I need to press power button thrice to make emergency call then mobile will respond. Anyone facing these issues?
