Stock Camera Frequently Crashes - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

I just noticed today that my stock camera app will not even launch. It just says not responding. Does anyone else have this issue? If so, were you able to resolve this? I tried doing a factory reset and it did not work. Please help me!!!

I had no idea. Do you have that issue too or is it just a random group of people that are experiencing this?

I had that issue but no longer after B20 update and factory reset....
I always do factory reset after updates

I've figured out what the problem was. It all started when I made a change to the build.prop enabling the hidden multi-window setting. Even when I tried removing the change, saving it and rebooting my device, the camera still crashed. Factory reset does nothing either. I've tested this a couple times to confirm that this was the issue. The only "fix" was to restore my device from a prior backup that did not involve a modified build.prop.

I have a different phone. The axon mini. My camera once was crashing when switching to manual mode. Nothing could help other than a nandroid restore.
Time when by and accidentally I found the fix.
Thanks great the build pro file from a stock rom. Go to system folder delete ir rename the old one and paste the new one there.
Reboot and ......boom....cameta sorted. No factory reset or restore needed.

Camera Not Focusing/Working

I have a Canadian S4 and my camera is not working. It is similar to the link below but the camera does not focus for far away and it simply does not take a picture after the first one unless I clear app or restart the phone. This issue is apparent on multiple roms (i337m & i9505) but I recently restored the phone to a stock rom with the same issue. Clearing the cache/data does not work. Any of you guys have this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Screen not rotating?

Just noticed the screen on my phone won't rotate, no matter what I do. Anyone else with same problem? . Is this a bug or software problem.

You have Rotation ON and, say, Google maps won't rotate?

How did you fix it? I'm also experiencing no rotation.
Edit: Cleared the cache, all seems fine now...
I'm also experiencing no rotation with some camera apps. It always records video as if I'm holding the phone sideways. I unticked all the xposed modules I have and wipe cached with twrp and the app's cache but the problem still persists.

The previous posts reminded me that Google maps had given me the option to stop the screen from rotating. I tried to find where to turn rotation back on but couldn't find it. So, I went i to app manager in my phone and cleared the cache and data for the maps app.
when that alone didn't work, I restarted my phone. Now rotation is working again. Good luck, hope this helped.

Maybe is illegal to record vertical videos in your country. Just a joke.
Some apps, like Horizon have that feature to record videos always horizontally no matter how you hold the phone.

Updated from 4.4 to 6.0.1, rooted, installed Xposed and a few modules, uninstalled and freezed some apps via titanium backup and got that problem, too.
Does anybody have a new idea how to solve that?

Have you read this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/question-mm-users-uninstalling-facebook-t3363211
I read so many threads but none could help me solve the issue.
So I guess the only way is to re-flash the stock firmware and then use another App to delete these facebook apps.
Really annoying as I just finished setting up anything as I wanted it to be.

I think you only need the libgnustl_shared.so file, no need to flash ROM again.
Poorly only libgnustl_shared.so didn't work out for me.
Luckily reflashing the ROM did work out.
I've done some testing removing bloatware and noticed it's Titanium Backup's fault... If I use any other tool to remove bloatware I don't face this problem with the rotation... I had to reflash the custom rom I'm using several times to reach this conclusion...

I had the same problem, & for whatever reason that version of the file failed to work for me. I had success with this one, following the same steps. https://www.4shared.com/file/ivpHIjB...tl_shared.html

Quick Settings Disappeared

I have only seen this posted on one other site and it wasn't correctly answered. Would anyone be able to tell me how I can fix this? I have tried the whole edit tab and scrolled through the settings to see if anything useful was there to no avail. Any ideas?

Uhh I'd reinstall the system, but I can see why you wouldn't want to
Maybe you could backup /data, then install the same version that you have now, then restore data
I have the same issue. It happened out of the blue and not immediately after a system update or anything like that. I am just concerned it will happen again after a factory reset.
Did u find a solution to this? I just got the same problem today. Seems like ZTE is messing up with their latest updates.
Same issue here?

I did a Factory Data Reset two days ago and my quick settings came back. I still don't know what caused the issue, and I am still wary that they might disappear again without warning in the future.
BUMP on this thread.....
This just happened to my phone yesterday. Any solution? Guess I'll factory reset the damn thing....

Stock camera freezes

My stock camera freezes whenever i open it for the first time,i have to switch modes to get it working.
as long as the camera is in memory it works fine but the moment you clear it and open the app it happens again.
I am gcam installed and is having no such issue but i prefer the stock camera.
did factory reset issue persists.
I have unlocked bootloader so i was thinking of uninstalling the camera app from adbfast tool.
should i do that?
can i install the stock camera app using the apk?
and can anyone provide the stock camera apk to try the same.
will unistalling the camera cause any issue?
any help will be appreciated
i am having the indian k20 running miui global 10.3.6
this is a software issue in global rom you have to wait for update to fix it or go for xiaomi.eu rom if you unlocked the bootloader.

Had same issue. Enabling location permission seems to solve it. Thanks a lot.
After en.miui.com forums shutdown it has been tough to get help.

This is what actually worked! I had no update available (miui 11.0.3), didn't want to factory reset my phone and the photo app reset didn't solve anything, but activating the location permission did! Thank you.

Stuck on 'Phone is starting' after updating to Android 12

Hello!
I tried to update my phone (SM-G975U) via Odin from Android 9 to Android 12, got the firmware from SamFw.com. Everything went fine until the phone rebooted, after unlocking the phone gets stuck on 'phone is starting'. I CAN access the Set Up Menu, Uninstall apps, move some settings here and there, connect to Wifi/Bluetooth, receive calls, install apps using ADB. Also, theres a notification all the time that reads 'Phone restarted Unlock your phone to get app notifications', I'm assuming that the phone thinks it is not unlocked and that's why it doesn't fully boot up.
Some things that I've already tried:
Intalling another Launcher (Pixel Launcher)
Reinstalling the firmware (ver G975USQU6IVC7) / Trying with different CSC with no results
Wiping Cache in Recovery Mode
Deleting/Adding Fingerprints
Changing from Lock Pattern to NIP to Password
I don't really want to do the full wipe, I would like to keep my data or be able to export the photos (Device not Recognized by Smart Switch also)
Is there anything else I can do?, has anyone been through the same issue?

Hi !
@DannOsnaya have you found a solution to the phone problem other than restoring to factory settings?
I have the same problem at the moment, almost identical to what you experienced.
If anyone has some advice on how to fix this problem, please share your advice.

Any way to factory reset. I tried every possible way following YouTube but nothing works. It's just stuck. I've a backup of my data so not worried.
No, I still have the same issue.

Nothing works. Now decided to show it to anyone. I guess the mobile shops have an option to erase everything. I don't understand how did it happen because it's usually with my toddler, he might have done something.

I followed a video and wiped out. Finally successful. I wasn't worried about data as Google has a backup.
I followed this method and finally it's factory reset.
