Camera issue. - LG V20 Questions & Answers

So my phone was starting to lag, and had some bad battery drain issues so I did a factory reset to try and help it out. Now when I try to switch lenses in the camera app to the wider one, it freezes the app, and won't even open up. I have to go in and clear the app data to be able to use it again. Anyone have this issue?

I should mention that I am stock, and unrooted. I could do another wipe.

do a root with kingroot
and unlock bootloader with adb

Kind of sucks this appears to be the only way to fix the camera.

So now I can switch between the lenses, but for some reason the frontfacing camera doesn't work. Also I didn't do anything.

Did you flash the new radio? Also, are you turning the Focus mode to Infinity or on Auto? And, download Barcode Scanner and try to scan something, to assure that your hardware is not faulty, this APP autofocus's pretty efficiently. And then you will know if you have a software bug or a hardware fault. If it's software, backup your files, and try to reflash firmware

Video Recording Issue

Hi guys, I've tried searching but it seems I'm alone in this. I've been having issues with my camera in the past few days, especially with video recording. Specifically, it won't record videos. I keep pressing the red button but nothing happens. At first I thought it was my custom ROM, so I went back to stock deodex with custom kernel. At first, video recording is working fine (as is usually the case) after a fresh flash, but then the problem returned. so I went back to stock kernel as well. Everything is working again after flashing, but now the problems reared its head again. This is a big deal for me as I use my phone to document my baby daughter's milestones and this problem is driving me nuts. Please, has anyone encountered this before? What could I be doing wrong? Right now I'm considering flashing completely stock after deleting everything in my internal storage just to see if this will fix the problem. Any suggestions or opinion will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
So no one's having this issue but me? Now I'm really starting to panic...

Nope. I'm using the stock camera/gallery app. I supposed i have no choice but to go start from stock again, even wipe the internal storage if i have to..

I would go to stock unrooted and try. If there is still an issue clean the SD. If there is still an issue might be some weird hardware issue. Can you RMA?

I haven't had an issue with this myself just to clarify and I'm not sure if you tried already or not but just thought I'd throw this out there because it's the first thing I'd try, have you tried going into Settings - Apps and clearing out the data and cache on the camera app and then rebooting first before checking to see if it fixed the problem? If you have already but it didn't fix it unfortunately I wouldn't know what else to tell ya unless you're rooted, and to be honest I can't remember if the Sprint V20 has been rooted or not. Anyway hope it helps.

Camera's Flash Won't Turn On While on Narrow Lens

Hey XDA's folks!
I have a non rooted ATT H910. The stock camera app can't turn the flash on when i take photo with the narrow lens. I tried the manual mode but it still doesn't work. The flash works fine while on video though, the flashlight also has no problem.
Tried any other camera apps and it works, only the stock apps that wont turn the flash on while im taking picture. This bother me when i use instagram and whatsapp because i cant use the flash too.
Already tried restart, clear data and cache of the stock camera, factory reset and still no solution. Could you help me?
Ok this sucks
I've had this before on my rooted H990. I wish I could remember what I did to fix it, but there was something. I can tell you with confidence, that it isn't a hardware problem. I'll think about it today and get back to you if / when I remember. It wasn't complicated...

After the New Update Exynos Model (BUGS)

Hello Guys,
I am from India, I got the latest update attached screenshot.
I am facing few issues:-
The phone has become laggy in some departments such as:
1. The fingerprint mark stays on the screen after the screen unlocks.
2. Even after pressing the power button screen doesn't lock. The screen does black out but when I double tab on the screen it directly takes me to the home screen without showing the lockscree first. I am not using Google trusted location or devices to unlock without taking my fingerprint or face recognition.
3. When I try to dial a number it doesn't call at a single go, after pressing multiple times it calls the person whom I am trying to call. It looks very choppy as if the system responding to my commands little later.
4. Whenever I am trying to take the screenshot it doesn't take at a single go, after pressing multiple times the system recognises I am trying to take the screenshot and respond little later.
All the apps are working fine without any lags but the above said things are bothering me a lot.
I hope someone from XDA can assist me with this.
P.S.: I have tried to clear the cache from the boot screen. Also did a test on graphics from the same menu.

Thanks for your reply! I hope somebody facing similar problems has overcome and provide suggestions.
But Sammobile blog has also confirmed these issues.
II havent faced any of these issues post update.
Did you try doing a factory reset? If not, try the same if its not too much of an issue for you.
I have the same but I updated today over mobile data.
Came home and it started to behave like described above.
So I figured it is something with the updated WiFi drivers.
Switched off Wi-Fi and all seems fine now.

No I didn't do factory reset as I have checked from other forums that factory reset is not helping, the new update is broken.

Also one more question I don't know if it's my phone or everyone is facing this issue. Whenever I switch on VoLTE calls (Screenshot Attached) my phone temperature increases and battery drains.

Both, but i flashed the rom with Odin. I don`t realy like OTA`s tbh.

So, you're saying only the ppl that took the OTA are facing the issues? In that case i will probably try that then if the bug returns for me.
For now after switching WiFi On/Off for me it is gone.
Seen reports that plugging in the charger does the same.
Weird stuff indeed.
Also now i see a fellow Dutch, you by any change using Rabobank stuff (Wallet/App) with tripped KNOX and have no problems with it?

No, its possible that some users who do flash a rom with Odin could face some issues too but i personally don`t. I`am using the ABN bank app and i haven`t rooted for a long time now. I used to do it because of theming and getting updates/upgrades but nowadays i personaly don`t see a reason anymore to root anymore. So i can`t help you with your question.
I happened to flash "ASE5" build two ways :
1. First using ODIN 2 days back . Did a factory reset ,erased cache in recovery, reinstalled all apps & after setting them up:-
issues faced -> None.
2. Went back to previous "ASD5" build, downloaded the "ASE5 OTA" update and installed. Did a factory reset, erased cache in recovery, reinstalled all apps & after setting them up:-
issues faced so far -> None.
*One glitch I'm noticing from the beginning with "ASE5" :
When I click on my apps & games(playstore app>drop down menu on the left), it freezes for a split second while it takes into the main page. With all my effort, I could not fix it. (App cache cleaning only temporarily fixes this).

A split second delay bothers you? What apps are running in the background? Do you have the FaceBook app installed? How did you set your animations?

No it does not "bother"but is a step back in smoothness if that counts. It's a "difference" that I noticed since I was testing both builds back and forth for a comparison. Rest be assured that it's not related to apps installed and animations set.

I have my animations set to 1,0 and i don`t have a delay, on 0,5 however there is a slight delay.

Erase playstore cache and you won't even notice it for a while only to re-appear after sometime.
"Less noticiable" and "very much noticiable" in my usage in 1x & .5x respectively. In ASD5 build, this transition slips like a soap.
