Nexus 6P camera is very dark - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i just woke up, opened my Snapchat, to realize my camera is really dark, and i mean really dark. Unless i point the camera at a light source i can't see anything, just black. The weird this is that it's the same story inside the camera app, and even the front facing camera. Both of the cameras are really dark, i've tried delting the cache, rebooting, wiping my phone, and installing Cyanogenmod again, only to see the same **** over and over again. Any tips on how i can fix this?

Facing the same issue. When in capture mode it's dark and video mode it's completely bright. I am using the 11/18 NitrogenOS with CameraNX4.1 Fix.

Same. On npf10c, started immediately after flashing the pixel navbar fix through FlashFire. Wiping cache didn't do anything.

I have the exact same problem. I'm on 11/18 nitrogen OS as well. It was perfectly fine when I first flashed the ROM but after a day it went dark. If anyone has a fix please let us know

So recording video is broken, it gets super BRIGHT, but for some reason taking a picture with flash on fixes the problem temporarily. Otherwise though this is persistent.

Just got this Nexus and the camera was working fine. I'm on preview with French fk.. last night it just went dark after working fine. Funny it started at the same time

I flashed the NDB91K vendor and it fixed my black camera issue. You get the security message on boot, but the camera is working fine for me

Having the same problem here. Already tried wiping cache, reflashing vendor and dirty flashing Nitrogen. I am on 11.18 Nitrogen release. So far nothing seems to fix it.

Identical problem. I JUST flashed the stock boot.img and it fixed the problem. Going to re-root and flash elementalx and will report back.

yeah flashing the previous vendor fixes the issue. Not sure why that caused the problem

God ****ing dammit I just realized why this may have been happening to me. Franco is not currently supported for 7.1.1. And a user on reddit I spoke to said he was using flash while on 7.1.1.
That's probably what's causing this issue.
Kill me.

Even with fk installed I was able to use the camera just fine.... I ran on it for a couple of weeks even on dp

Running the 11/18 build of Nitrogen OS with banks GApps and having the same issue. Clean flashed. Flashing the latest image fixed it.

The problem still persists , i got the same issue and that too after opening snapchat , i really don't know what to do, any help , how can i get back to old kernel again?

Do you try flash other rom?

Does anyone have a link for the vendor image?

2.9 liquid smooth rom hdr problem

So I flashed 2.9 liquid smooth with gapps to my sgh-i337 all is working just fine except when i try to use hdr in the camera app it takes the pic an freezes the screen with pic. When I try to back out it freezes an then close's when i re open the gallery the picture is there but not realy a picture its a grey square. is anyone else encountering this problem? do you think re flashing gapps would fix ?
did you come from a different rom or did you just dirty flash a liquid update? either way, how did you wipe before flashing?
I came from twiz used the casual method to root+twrp. Bottled to recovery wiped cache an dalvik+data 2 times flashed the ROM zip for jfltatt then gapps. Rebooted system an set up with Google.

Glad to hear it's not just me. I have lots of random camera issues with Slim & Liquid. I have not used any other AOSP ROM's lately so I don't know if it's an upstream issue or not.
I always clean wipe & flash, so that's not it.
Camera works great sometimes. Othertimes it starts to work and then either freezes up or lags really bad.
I just tried using HDR when I read your post. It worked fine the first few times, but I kept playing with it and after a minute it started to lag and then it froze.
Full wipe/clean install of tasks 4.2.2. No problem

Finally fixed shooting video, sound quality and reboot problem

I'd like to share my experience solving some basic problems with my nexus 4 running cm11, and 10.2
I had problems with the video freezing when shooting video
I wanted to improve the sound quality because I stream google premium and couldn't find a solution until recently
And had a rebooting problem in the end which I solved.
My nexus 4 worked perfectly running cm until I did the 4.3 update in november. After that the video would freeze when I was shooting. wouldn't happen all the time but would happen sometimes. I did everything, factory resets, reinstalling gapps, restoring the camera app, wiping data. Nothing worked. Even updating to cm 11 did nothing to change the situation. After having to go back to stock because of another problem I ran into -- installed Franco kenrnel on cm 11 and they aren't compatible -- I discovered that the video camera was still freezing. So I discovered it had nothing to do with cyanogenmod roms. Someone suggested flashing the separate photosphere gapp package along with the full gapps package and funny enough that solved the problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
I don't know if the recent updated photosphere gapp corrected a problem or what. But. Shooting Video now works.
I switched to omni rom because I wanted to use the franco kernel to adjust my sound settings, in my search for sound quality improvement but the omni rom was a real challenge and was plagued with bugs and wasn't for me. But stuck with it because of the franco kernel.
I then discovered that hells-core kernal did the same thing and works with cm11 so switched back to cm11 the stable snapshot version from last week and installed hells-core kernel. My phone started to reboot capriciously every 10 or 15 minutes and tried everything to correct that, eliminated data from apps, fixed permissions -- nothing worked, but finally decided to flash the latest cm nightly to see if the problem wasn't related to the version of the rom I was running .
When I flashed it, I wiped cache partition, delvik cache, and formated data , reflashed full gapp package plus the photosphere gapp. I didn't flash hells-core again. Maybe that was causing the reboots. I don't know. Everything now works perfectly. No more random reboots, the video camera seems to work fine, I discovered that the cm kernerl does have one volume gain adjustment and am now using viper4android effects equalizer that has gain control for both volume, bass and treble and everything is great. and my sound quality is probably as good as it will get on a nexus 4.
I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to resolve these problems so hope this is of some help to others.

Oneplus Two Camera issues ... Hell lot of Issues

M facing really weird issue with Oneplus Two Camera.
1) Sometimes not frequently when I open camera app the screen is black and it crashes with an error stating "Camera unknown error".
At tht time if I use other camera apps i.e. Snapchat, Google camera ,etc..they show black screen too.
Even Flash doesn't work at tht time.
So I hve to restart to solve the problem.
2) When in a dark room or so, when I take picture with flash mode on...the camera screen goes blank and I hve to lock and unlock it to solve the problem. But if happens again when I take another shot.
Is there any solution ? Do I hve to worry ? Is it hardware or software problem and if its a software prob...will it damage my camera hardware or any other ?
I really love this phone ...so even minute errors bugs me
Do I need to replace? ...I don't want to spend my time replacing it coz I hve already replaced it ...I mean ..I bought it from Amazon India and due to a small dent on my OPT on the right upper corner I replaced it and it took me 15 days with lot of calling at Amazon ...so I don't want to do all tht again
Please help
I am on Oxygen OS 2.1.0
Rooted
Titanium restored from a backup of my previous phone I.e. Nexus 4 <--- is this causing the prob in any case?
Have you tried doing a factory reset? Did this happen on OxygenOS 2.0.1? Have you tried other camera applications (google camera) to see if the issue is software related? Do you have a custom recovery?

I own that device too and I am not facing any such issues but here is a fix -
If you are rooted clean flashy the ROM
Non rooted -
Wipe cache partition from stock recivery
And most likely I think the problem is titanium backup of previous phone

i just flashed exodus, stock kernel, opengapps, reistalled my titanium backup, and everything works, no camera issue. so i doubt it's a titanium problem, either... but sorry, no idea how to help
Even after factory reset
Not rooted phone. Did factory reset in recovery mode and tried third party camera apps also, still problem persist
This happens for my OPT too. Whenever I try to take a shot in the dark, it just froze. Until I lock and unlock it again. Weird!
I have met the issue 2 as well. When I take picture under dark environment, the screen will be dark and I have to unlock it again. I am using oxygen 2.1 stock camera app. So I think it should be software bug.
One plus 2 camera issue
I was also facing the same issue but now it is resolved.
Steps. Before clicking a pic in dark just maximize your brightnessto 100% and off the optimization of screen in display.then click a pic..the screen wont get dark..and tje picture will be clicked.i hope it will be resolved in future updates with low and automatic brightness too

Proximity sensor stays in "close" position

Nexus 6p, unlocked bootloader and running 8.1DP.
Whenever I make a call and put the phone to my ear the screen turns off and never comes back on. I tested the sensor with the device info app and I the sensor stays in the "close" position when engaged untill the app is restarted.
I did some research and I found that some users had this issue with the Nougat update but no relevant solutions were found and the 7.1.1 update fixed the problem.
I would like to avoid factory reset or locking the bootloader if possible.
Can anyone think of a possible solution?
I tried the Proximity sensor reset app from the play store and that does absolutely nothing.
EDIT: Stable 8.1 doesn't fix the issue, even after clean install and manual flash and wipe.
I'm on SuperXe 8.0 Oreo built and it works flawlessly. I remember having that issue on nougat ROMs use to drive me nuts. Every time I needed the keypad I had to fight to get the screen back on. ?
Not a factory reset. Manually wipe the phone and apply the latest 8.0 image.
So after manually flashing the 8.0 image everything worked. I thought id give 8.1 DP2 a shot and I wiped and flashed this manually. It worked during the restore but stopped working after all my apps were back, so I thought it may be an app that's causing the problem. Strated in safe mode, issue is still there. I guess Ill just have to wait for the stable 8.1 release. If anyone else is facing the issue please post here.

[Stock][H870] Camera, Flashlight and YouTube won't work after flashing stock ROM

I used to have Havoc OS and everything was working fine but the location. it never worked for some reason and i needed it on my everyday life.
So used UPPERCUT to install stock ROM, ONLY to quickly realise that CAMERA, FLASHLIGHT and YouTube didn't work.
(when opening camera there was only a black screen, flashlight said i was using a camera app and YouTube was endlessly loading without showing my feed)
I wiped everything and flashed stock ROM from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg...-h870-eu-30b-rom-t4007979/page10#post83380121
STILL having the same problem.....
when using havoc OS i didnt have this problem...
any ideas?
Did you flashed Nougat first? If not flash Nougat
to further explain my problem,
even though Camera used to work fine on HAVOC OS,
now even when using a Hardware Tester from Play Store, the app can't find a the camera...
can flashing stuff on your phone kill hardware?
I had a similar issue with a H872. Camera & proximity wouldn't work after flashing back to stock Oreo from Havoc. Someone here suggested flashing back to Nougat. Lo and behold...it fixed all my issues. I then performed software updates to get to the latest stock version.
Good luck!
