Problem with 360 camera? - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

Hey guys.
So I just got a new PH1 and a 360 camera.
When I hook the camera up, I get a blue light, and it goes to a black 360 screen, but only twice has it actually shown any video. The 2nd time It successfully connected, it started loading again after just a few seconds.
Anyone know what's up with that?

Does the blue light turn to green? It's supposed to... Do you have a skin on the phone? That extra thickness can keep it from working.

It is almost always blue
No

I had the same problem before. It's the phone hardware issues. Send back for warranty or return it for replacement.

Hi, viper98!
Just got my PH-1 and 360 camera today, have all system (Android 8.1 with April security patch) and camera app updates (4 MAY) and Firmware update for 360 camera. Same problem here. The LED indicator on the back of the camera almost always blue, works intermittently.
Did your problem get solved?

Any updates on this? Happening to me too.

I've had my PH-1 for a better part of 4 months and have the latest security patch. I would perform an update to the latest and see where it goes. I've not had any issues with mine.

Already updated to all the latest versions.

Yeah same here. I have emailed Essential support. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Anyone have any success fixing this?
Has essential support been any help?

Remember to remove the back skin cover

Essential sent me a replacement, but the camera came on the first time, but after an update, it stopped working.

Almost exactly what happened to me. Update seems to disable camera from working.

Sent another email to Essential. We will see what happens.

FYI Updated to android 9.0 pie and symptoms are the same.

Just tested mine on Pie 9.0. Works fine, same as 8.0.

I had/have the same issue. Just a bit of persistence and a reboot(s) and it functions properly.

They are going to send a replacement phone.

Okay. Essential replaced my camera and everything is working now. One thing they suggested was the first time I connect the 360 camera be in safe mode to prevent anything interfering with the software update to the camera. I did that and it updated without any issues and works great now. I'm on the release version of Android pie.

[Q] [HELP] LG G2 (Not Rooted) Screen Jitters after updating KitKat

Hello,
It seems i have a problem with my G2 after updating Kitkat. First i want to clarify by updating Kitkat means that after i updated my Kitkat from official updates from LG Update Apps. I worried people misunderstood it for im upgrading from Jelly Bean to Kitkat. Not that, im already using Kitkat from maybe around Feb and have no problem at all. And 2 days ago [17 May 2014, in South East Asia] there is some update for the Kitkat, and I installed it, the description for the update is just "Optimization for Apps")
My problem is exactly the same with this Youtube video down here, this video describe "screen flickering" but actually its not flickering (because there is no problem with the brightness), but the screen randomly move vertically, like there is an earthquake inside of that phone
Oops because im a new member (yes, I jin this forum because of this problem of mine :'( ) it seems I cant post url from outside.
Please search the video on youtube titled "Lg g2 screen flicker" by Chris Eastoe
So, its happen yesterday for the first time, and i realize if its start to happen what i have to do is turn of the screen for a while (either turn of the phone or ether lock it) and then after i turn the screen on again the jitters stop... for a while... eventually the jitter will start to happen again and i just have to turn off the screen, wait, and turn it on again.
Do anybody have any Idea what happen to my phone? my LG G2 is not rooted, and i use stock launcher. i probably install LINE DECO for the icon customization (even though I already install it like 1 month ago and have no problem until recently), but i already uninstalled that this morning, and its still happening
Thank you
cheers :fingers-crossed:
Still no response yet? Up up
I live in SEA also but can't help you with your problem because my phone has had issues with the touchscreen starting a couple of months after I purchased it. I also received the update a couple of days ago and I was hoping that it would finally resolve my touchscreen issues but no such luck. Mine also jitters, freezes, and experiences ghost touches on a random basis although they all stop when I turn off the screen and turn it back on. Touchscreen issues are common with the G2, I don't know what to tell you. I've sent mine back twice but it still does the same thing.

It seems my problem is not as bad as yours... My touchscreen still works properly, and even the screen is jittering like crazy mt LG G2 still works smoothly. The Only problem is the display on screen.
I try to take a snapshot of my homescreen when my screen jittering like crazy and send it to my friend. But on my friend phone the homescreen snapshot i took is normal.
Can somebody help, please
Root it with ioroot, recovery with autorec, and install furnace (jdi version if white lines) - or exchange it ?

Been on 4.4.2 for a few days, today my stock Bell (D803) started jittering and garbled up so bad it looked like the screen was damaged. It was a bit warm from being plugged in so i shut it down. Now it's cooled off and video jitters only slightly. I also tried re-calibrating motion sensor but seems to still have a slight jitter. (note: it's not the brightness flicker problem, the segments of the video on the screen literally shakes!)
Was thinking phone was damaged some how but now i see it's not the only one with the problem since last update.
Gee, good thing we own $700 smartphones!
I don't usually root my phones until the warranty is up on them so it's still Bell stock.

Well, thanks for the heads up edgarpoe, Factory Wipe Reset also one of my option, but considering the effort it takes to recovery all the data, the backup, and etc. and find the problem is still there would have waste a lot of time...
I tried to install different launchers (Go Launcher, Nova Launcher) and none of them solve my problem... Heeeelelllpp!
Maybe it's a driver problem with latest update... hmmm

Nope not any better, infact it's worse. When it sits screen is ok when you wake it, but after about 5 min it starts jittering randomly. The longer screen is on the worse it gets until it shows sections of video that looks like old analog tv static. Turn screen off for a while and it's cleared up again for a few minutes.
Maybe something is overheating? Do you have a case on your phone? Mine has OtterBox case.
I even tried "playing" with thermal setting in 3845#*803# but did't solve anything :silly:
Don't know, maybe it's time to bring it in...
Ok I think it got scared that I was sending back for warranty because now it's running fine.

I've factory wiped phone 3 times, still had problem. Was almost wondering if after the update, the battery stats were out, if low voltage would cause it. But then phone would have died out of nowhere so don't think that's it. Last night I also recalibrated motion sensor but still had jitters.
Must have been just a glitch in the update.
Bell tech told me 4.4.3 is on its way anyways.
It was acting up this morning at 10, then it sat sleeping unplugged for a few hours (screen off) now it seems problem disappeared.

Yep, i know the 4.4.3 its on the way, did the Bell Thec tell you when? it'll be frustating to wait around 3 weeks or a month with the phone condition like this...
BTW, Is your phone still OK? Ive been running mine this morning and got 2-3 hour up until now, jitter free... i will update if the jitters come back...
added :
Or maybe on of the apps is not compatible with the 4.4.2 Update. This morning this are my apps that have an update and maybe it solved the problem
- Chrome
- Air Asia
- Cleanmaster
- FanChants
- Flipboard
- Gmail
- Google+
- IGN
- Intsagram
Maybe some apps matchs with your apps?
My phone been steady now for around 6hrs I think. Not sure why yet. Wasn't app related that I know of because one off the reset trials I opted to not install any apps at all and still had jitters.
I've been working the modes, touch screen, and playback pretty good tonight and no more glitches. Was last plugged in 7 hrs ago to 100% and it's now at about 50%
Just noticed power save was off so now it's active.
With system, lg bloatware, and downloaded apps they total 197apps.

No sound while recording video

Hi there, I'm having trouble with my Nexus 6P. When I record a video using the Google camera, Snapchat or Instagram there is no sound in the video. Well, there is but it's like a Shhh sound, like a damaged mic. The thing is, that this only happens while recording video, the mic works fine during phonecalls, recording WhatsApp voice notes or using voice command in the Google App. I don't know if this is a hardware or software issue. I think the mic that is right below the camera may be damaged (recently my phone got dirty with Engine Oil, I cleaned it right away but I don't know), but since I recently also updated to the latest beta 7.1.2 it may be a software problem too. I hope you can help me out here, not being able to record videos properly is killing me. Thanks in advance.
I think it is a software issue. I have the same problem and I just updated to 7.1.2 as well.
OMG I'm not the only one! I hope it's software then... Have you tried to fix it or you're planning on just waiting for an update?

Well! It looks like I'm waiting. I just tried to flash back to the official update and the recovery mode said "Cannot flash back to older build." Looks like we are pretty much stuck with a phone that cannot make phone calls unless we completely wipe all data.

Oh really? Mine is jacked up across the board. I don't have audio in videos or calls. I should've noticed you only mentioned videos. That's interesting.
Same issue
Hey I'm actually in the same boat as the original poster. Ever since the 7.1.2 beta I have no sound to my videos. If I hold the speaker to my ear I can hear the "ssshhhh" noises though. Everything else seems to work fine. Ex. Calls. Google. Voice recording. From reading online I was really scared my mic below my camera blew or was damaged but I'm really hoping it's just a software issue. If anyone has found a workaround or solution to this problem I would love to hear it.

Have you ever opened up the back cover? I have the same issue and the problem in my case is that I never tried to record video on the phone until after I've replaced the back cover so I don't know if it had something to do with my repairs. I plan on opening up the back soon to replace the battery and will wiggle the wires around when it is open. I think this is a hardware issue as I've tried every software fix. Might be just a bad batch of phones because we've come to realize the QC might not have been the best as seen with the early shutdown and bootloop issues.

That's for suggesting Cinema FV, I changed the audio source to external and was able to record video with sound. But agreed that it sucks to have to purchase an app to make it work.

Did starting fresh fix it for you? I switched out my battery and inspected everything while I had the case opened and also couldn't find any sign of issues with the mics. So as you suggested, it is most likely software related.

Repair shop
This happened to my 6p about 6 months after I bought it. I took it to the Huawei official repair shop in Singapore and they said it was water damage (I have had no incidents with water). Even better, they said it was not under warranty because of the water damage and that it would cost US$700 (more than the phone brand new ) to replace the screen and motherboard. I am suspicious that they had no idea what the issue was and were going to try and replace everything in hopes that it would fix it. I mean why else replace the screen when the audio isn't being recorded in the camera app only?
Hardware issue
If there is no audio in video, its probably because the audio mic for video recording just below the camera bump is damaged. The device has seperate mic for video. And a mic integrated with the lower speaker is for phone calls and ok google hotword.

AT&T S7 Edge - Phone thinks it has 2 rear cameras - no front-facing anymore!

I rarely take selfies, but I noticed yesterday that when I tried to, I couldn't switch over to the front facing camera using the gesture in the camera app or by way of the icon in the camera app.
It acts like it's going to - shows the "flipping" animation, but then just shows the rear camera again.
I've gone as far as doing a factory reset on the phone and going back to all stock settings - same is still happening.
Any suggestions?
Was it after the latest Android update? I had a camera issue after the Android update was installed this morning. The camera gave me a "camera failed" every time I tried to launch it.

No it was before the one I got just 2 days ago as well. I installed. 3rd party selfie app just now and it just shows a blank screen for the front camera. Betting the camera is hosed...
A little more info - seems the phone thinks that the rear camera is both the front and rear camera....
I installed AIDA64 and the REAR camera is listed twice under devices - and no front-facing camera. Guess that would explain why when I flip from front to rear it always displays the rear camera....
Now the big question - how to fix?

I've googled the hell out of it and haven't found one single peep about it - if it weren't for AIDA64 showing the same camera twice I'd be clueless as to what the problem was!

PUBG Mobile on essential

Has anyone else here played this game on the essential phone? I have a couple of strange glitches. I initially thought they were associated to my original faulty device, but after receiving my warranty replacement that is not faulty the same issues still persist on PUBG Mobile. So I am assuming it's something with this phone in general.
First glitch is some artifacting during the loading screen on the notch end of the phone. I am assuming this is because of the screen resizing to accommodate for the notch. It seems like it starts to attempt to resize the screen a few times in a row every once in a while resulting in what looks like some screen glitching. I've noticed this in other apps while using them too like chrome and OfferUp. Looks like every once in a while the app suddenly attempts to resize back to full screen mode for a split second, then immediately shrinks back down again to cut out the notch area.
Other issue is while using both fingers on the screen at the same time. Moving while aiming for instance it will spin my character around a little bit.
Doesn't display any of this behavior on any other phones I've ever had. I already contacted the publisher of the game but Wondering if anyone else has these issues and knows a workaround.

So you still have the graphical glitches?
How do I get P?
Also is it possible to force games and other apps to utilize the full screen pace around the notch? As much as I don't like apple I do notice in YouTube videos that it does fully utilize the notch area on the iPhone X.
Alright nevermind found the settings in developer options from YouTube video to force all apps to use the notch area.

I flashed the ota through adb, did not factory reset though. I think the issue is involving the multi touch that was broken in and 8.1, and I don't think Google has fixed the issue

Like I said before, I flashed the full fastboot file, not just the ota. It is fixed completely. You could try that.
Yes! God, I thought I was the only one with the multi touch issue..but I'm too lazy and stupid to get P so I suppose I'm out of luck.
There's a fix for the multi touch glitch bug. It's a magisk module called "Pixel 8.1 multi-touch fix".
Let me warn you, DO NOT install it if you are on the stock essential ROM, because it will fail to boot. It is only safe on AOSP based ROMs. I can only vouch for myself that it works flawlessly with lineage. If you are on stock ROM you'll have to wait until essential releases a fix.
I just read up on it a little. Apparently it's an issue with all phones running 8.1.0 Oreo witch I did not know. My original essential PH1 was faulty, kept crashing and rebooting so I thought this was part of the faulty device.
Looks like they plan to release a fix in June security update.

So then are you on Android 9 aka P or not?
No. Just going to wait until they release the fix for 8.1.0

The difference is insane right? Night and day. Even if there were any bugs, which I haven't noticed any, I still wouldn't be able to go back I don't think.
Way smoother, all touch bugs fixed, better battery life... What's not to like?

Yep, everything is great for a dev preview. I fixed my PUBG, by just uninstalling, then reinstalling the game. Runs flawlessly

at this point its safe to assume there will be anything new apart from security updates xD
I gave up a while ago from getting any fix. This phone is abandoned by Xiaomi
Audio channel swap in usb
Anyone with audio channel swapped over USB? I was using wireless headphone for 1 and a half months before and then switched to usb type c adapter. I noticed the left right channel swap first when playing COD mobile. Only over USB not on wireless. Anyone has this bug? I think it came on August security patch. Before that audio over USB worked fine. I have tried different adapters, problem still persists. l think it is similar to the bug that happened on OnePlus phones. I haven't gotten the sept update.
I have passed to Pixel Extended, much better than stock, all works very well.
You should think to change...
Any bugs that I need to know in pixel extended? Also how are the security updates, is it regularly updated?

So far i don't find any bugs, except there's a glitch on the QS bar clock, that make it double whenever you swipe up/close the QS, it doesn't happen if you have a notification, but its never bother me bcs it hardly noticeable. And PEx also has a good battery backup, better than stock i think, the security update also updated regularly every month, and jasmine will get android 11 builds soon! I highly recommend you to flash this rom, it's so stable. (Sorry for my bad grammars).
Yes I noticed too

You mean only left audio channel in right headphone side?
Well guys.... GREAT NEWS!!!
There is ONE huge thing that got fixed with this update, 5ghz wifi!
Finally I get my 250+ Mbps over 5ghz, just like on Pie. Since android 10, I would get at most 150Mbps and the phone would lag a ton while doing the speedtest.net (app). Now it's fine.
Check yours to confirm :laugh:
NEVERMIND: this behavior only lasted for a couple of minutes... Back to 130ish Mbps and lagging lol ?
Is it just me or we're getting better battery life with September update? I usually was plugin the phone between 20-40% in the evening, feels like since the last update it's more 50-70%... but as always with battery life, hard to tell, could just be some of my usage, or some apps that got updated and more efficient...

Just you, I think! I haven't noticed any improvement.
Not sure if it's a new issue which got introduced by the latest update. But sometimes i have the problem that I cannot turn on bluetooth, it i click on the button it shows "turn on bluetooth.." but it doesn't.
Now i experienced it the other way around, i can't turn off bluetooth, it's not even possible to unpair my headphones.

i have the same problem with my mi a2 too... i didnt realize about the usb problem at first because i rarely use it for files transfer and the last time i plug it into my pc was before the september update.
i'm skeptical about custom rom base on my previous experience. can PE run banking and e-wallet app?
