Hi,
Upgraded to Nougat via OTA Sideload.
Works really well, except that all my pictures taken with my main camera are much too dark.
I also tried the Open Camera App, with the same results. Even if I turn the intensity up, it looks good in the screen, but as soon as the picture is taken, it is too dark again.
Anyone experienced similar things after upgrading to Nougat?

Got the Droid X on 7/15, everything was great, got the system update, now the camera won't work. Black screen only, even though both the Camera and Camcorder apps behave like they're working (with a black screen). Cannot take pictures at all, can take video, although no image is shown and playback of videos is a completely black screen.
I look in the camera and it looks like the shutter is open, although I'm not 100% certain what a closed shutter would look like. I think I can see the lens.
I did a full System Restore, the problem did not go away.
I've tried the camera app from the marketplace, facebook, etc., all treat the camera in the same way: just a black screen.
Trying to take a picture, the focus noise doesn't even sound.
This was working prior to the update, albeit in a laggy manner. Should I return my Droid X, or is there some other software / use fix I have not tried?
Thank you in advance!
No one else is having this issue?
This is the first i personally have heard of this issue.
I would take it back and see if they can exchange it.

After the update I would try to go into the camera but it would say that it couldn't open it. A couple hours later it worked no problem. I recommend a factory reset to se if that helps and then try to exchange.
Edit: sort I didn't se that you already tried to reset it. Yeah it is time to take it back.

I've tried a soft and hard reset and no luck. But a quick search on the Motorola forums brings me to conclude that this could be a major problem that if it doesn't happen to you now, it might just happen later.

I have two droid X phones. My Camera quit the first time I tried to use it after the update. My daughters died 2 days after she updated. Verizon fix is to send me a refurbished phone. My fix is to get rid of motorola and verizon as soon as possible. Any help would be appreciated

Mine did same thing... i pulled the battery while phone was on per the tech on the phone and it has worked fine since.
I have noticed this on rooted droid x's. Factory wipe didn't really resolve any of the camera issues. Re-loading with SBF resolved the issue sometimes, while other times, a simple cache wipe resolves the issue.
I dont know if this will work, but its just a suggestion that fixed my camera. My camera/camcorder app wouldn't open, so then I went into the gallery and deleted a corrupted image (It was all strange looking, a black square with lines on it, and also wouldn't open in any programs). Once I removed this image from my SD card the camera worked. Worth a try I guess...
Also try using another app to open the camera, like Vignette, in order to see if it is a hardware issue or a blur camera app issue.
Rather the lack of camera or video after the update. Just opens then closes really fast. I suppose a reset of some kind is next. Anyone else have / had this issue?
Cheers
can someone tell me why when you take self photos the screen looks smaller than before

this is because your not taking a picture that supports high resolution. it is only a vga camera that is 1.3 megapixel
when you look at the screen before you snap a self picture its smaller looking than the 2.1 rom
I ran into this issue after updating my phone to the HTC FroYo beta. I rebooted my phone and it began working again. I've have not had an issue since then.
My GF's phone was updated to final HTC FroYo 2.2 and ran into the same problem as well. A Reboot also fixed it.
I ran into this issue right after updating to the 2.2 beta. I found that it was the LED Light app that was "breaking" the camera. Uninstalled the app, soft reset, good to go.
Camera Resolution
My Camera dropped to 3m anyone have that problem?
I did a soft reset and voila everything is fine now. I also unistalled the LED app I was using then reinstalled it. No issues so far.
Cheers
what LED app are you using, I am also having this issue. It was working fine, then i rebooted, and now it just closes right away when opened, will be deleting all my LED apps for now.
Yep the LED Light widget (the one that looks like the sense widget) killed that and its working again. hopefully the author of the app can fix this. as thats a useful little widget.
yep, its the LED Light, the one that looks like a sense widget on/off switch.. uninstalled it and camera works fine, i didnt even have to reboot
I got an att lg g2 a few days ago with stocked firmware 80010d. Everything worked very well. I then flashed my cell to att 4.4.2 kitkat (80020c) with lg flash tool. The updating process should be successful because I strictly followed a video tutorial and everything is expected.
After flashing I realized that the picture quality of both front and back camera are very poor in some video chatting software (I used Wechat and Hangout). How poor it is? Most of the time my picture is totally black unless you put a light source in front of the camera (both front and back camera are experiencing the same thing). It seems the brightness level of the camera is set to its lowest value so everything is dark, and there is no way to adjust it in the video chatting software. (I do try to set the ISO and brightness to maximum level in camera app, but nothing is changed). Attachments show screen captures in Hangout with or without a light source in it.
Occasionally (it happened once when I had the phone fully charged), the brightness level is good, but the picture quality is extremely low. It seems the camera resolution is only 0.1MP instead of 2MP.
The camera itself works very well taking pictures or videos. It is only bad in video chatting. I searched hard on google but it seems my case is very rare. Is there some settings or adjustments I can do to fix this problem? I know my question is too long, Thank you for any advice.
Guess this is really rare. I will roll back to 10d and see what happens.
My wife's new LG G2 is doing the same thing and she is on stock kit Kat uprooted, came f e on AT&T on 10C, I'm using ClodyPro II on mine and mine works fine. Her problem is exactly like yours

So found a fix, just did it for my wife's G2 which as I said has the same issue, or had. I used the Flashtool to taker her back to 10d then I rooted, installed recovery, updated recovery, and flashed the 10d to 10c keep root and recovery in the AT&T G2 Dev Section, after I backed up first and preformed the install I immediately did a factory reset to wipe data, cache, and dalvik before I rebooted from recovery. Once it was set up, I tried hangouts and the camera looked just like mine, great!! Thought I'd share

lg g2 issue in wechat after kitkat update
Even i'm experiencing the same **** in with my g2 after kikat ota update..... pls anyone have a solution
I am also having the same issue. I use wechat and stock kitkat not rooted. I think it's happening to a lot of us, so it isn't rare. Is there a solution yet? If not, can we get together and maybe report it.
Thanks.

Did one of you already found a solution?
I just got a brand new G2 and the front camera is really bad when using video chat.
Using stock 4.4.2
My old htc phone was much better.
Same problem... sh*t AT&T......
I'm currently on stock zvc rooted with twrp from autorec. I have been using Jishnu's 4k cam mod for a while now and its worked perfectly fine but all of a sudden my camera lost the ability to focus. It did this a couple days ago and I tried restoring camera from Jishnu's camupdate apk and then reinstalling and also installed xdabbeb's 4k cam and it wasn't working but after 15 mins or so I went back to the camera and it was working again. This time though I tried to do what I did before but it doesnt have any effect on it. I no longer have the stock camera files does anyone have them so I can try that out? A flashable zip would be even better if possible. Other then that does anyone have any idea what I could do besides tot'ing back which I'd rather avoid if possible?
Did you try another camera app to make sure it's not a hardware issue?
If I helped you, please thank me
got a stock non rooted d803 and camera just wont focus as well
takes nice close up pics but anything further than 2 inches and its out (even manual focusing doesnt work)
tried other camera apps and no joy, went as far as factory reset and nothing
LG and phone company tech advised bringing it in for replacement

Sorry for the late reply didn't notice I got two replies but I had tried google camera and another random camera before
and they both wouldn't focus at all. However my camera is working now I went and tot'd to stock 4.4.2 but the camera
wasn't working immediately after doing that it still wasn't working so I was afraid maybe the hardware was broken. But
after installing the 4k camera mod and doing some messing around with the camera and then leaving the phone alone
for a while with the camera app running in the background it works again. Its very weird I don't really understand it what
threw me off as well was after running titanium backup to restore apps/data the camera was still working so I started
setting stuff up. I noticed the xposed installer was not up to date so I went and updated it and then rebooted the phone.
After that I checked the camera and it wasn't focusing again at all. I figured xposed might be the culprit so I went and
uninstalled it then rebooted but it didn't have any effect the cam still wouldn't focus. So I reinstalled and enabled it and
did the installing 4k mod messing with camera and leaving it alone routine and after a while the camera is working
again. Very suspicious I'm at a loss but I went and did a nandroid backup while the camera was working so if anything
I can restore that and hopefully fix it.

Sorry for the late reply but my camera still isn't working properly. Whenever I open a camera app its all blurry and it won't
focus what I have to do everytime I need to take a picture of something is shake the phone around in different angles and
sometimes hit it near the camera region lol. I find that after giving it a good shake/hit it'll start focusing again. I don't know if
that means theres a problem with the OIS interfering in some way since the lens can move around and stuff so maybe shaking
it makes it focus correctly but its annoying.
I would go bring the phone in for repair/replacement if you're covered. I would do it myself but I plan on getting the G3 soon
anyway so don't really need to fix this one. Hope it works out for you though.
Took the update to 4.4.4 (VZW NHA OTA) and re-rooted the device. I noticed my camera still appears to focus properly but I don't see the green circle indicating it's 'locked'. As trivial as it may seem, it prevents me from using some of the features of the stock camera like selective focus and HDR - I receive a message saying that it can't apply effect because the cam isn't focused.
I've tried re-setting settings from within the camera as well as clearing app data. I'm not interested in fixing the problem by installing a different camera.
Anyone else seeing this or is it isolated to me?

Interesting. I hadn't noticed until I read your post, but I lost the green/red ring as well. I just tested selective focus and it didn't work on my first attempt, but did work on my second. I don't think HDR is working though, as I don't get the usual "processing" message when it's enabled. Weird.
Similar here.. My S5 similarly lost the 'lock' ring.. but seems to focus and work correctly through all modes. (not-rooted)
Not to hijack .. i hope.......the daughter's S5 (not-rooted) doesn't seem to focus at all after the 4.4.4 update. I pulled a crap-ton of her imaging apps off her phone but has not had any effect. She mentioned she had dropped the phone before the update...but the pictures she had taken before the update (after the drop) were all in focus. It's just been after the update it will not focus any more.
