result_error_configuring_camera - Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers

We have three G5-pluses in our home.
My wife's and mine are both on the OEM version of Oreo (downloaded here and installed through system update on non-rooted, still-bootloader-locked phones).
One will run my banking app fine -- and we can do check deposits which use the camera.
One will not -- it generates this message "RESULT_ERROR_CONFIGURING_CAMERA".
Camera versions the same.
OS Versions the same.
App versions the same.
Phone that "doesn't work" is only on that app -- any other camera app works fine so it isn't a camera problem.
About ready to pull my hair out on this one -- suggestions on how to troubleshoot?
Really, really do not want to factory reset -- it took me a day of manually installing stuff that google didn't to get it back the way I like it.
Thanks

After normal reboot I found myself back to factory settings

When I rebooted my phone this morning, it was essentially back to factory settings. The start-up wizard came up. All my shortcuts and widgets were back to the default and none of my apps were working.
Signing in to my google account seemed to restore most stuff. And the market still had a list of all the apps I'd installed, even if they were no longer installed. I had to uninstall and reinstall everything. Had to reset up the email app, twitter, facebook etc. SD card contents were still there.
Just to be clear, the apps weren't actually installed, they just appeared to be in the market.
This was just turning my phone on in the morning - I see no point in having it switched on all night!
Any idea what happened or why or whether it's likely to happen again??
I am sure some would like to help, however, your post is lacking many critical details:
1. Are you rooted?
2. What ROM are you on?
3. Did you install anything new or update anything yesterday?
Details, we're not magicians (ok, maybe some of the Dev's here are)...
sorry, bit of a noob!
i am not rooted, i have a stock nexus one running 2.1.1
last new thing i installed was a few days ago - a geocaching app. had normal behaviour with that installed for those few days. also have installed other updates for various apps.

No biggie, Look around at people's sigs and see how they are set up, gives much information without having to post it all the time.
As for the issue, not sure, never had this issue nor have I heard of it.

New Android Market Website

So it's finally out. What do you guys think? Is this the end of Appbrain? I loved appbrain cause I can browse the apps on the website and then just click install from there and it will automatically install on the phone. Now this can do it too!
The biggest upside to this? You can install (after you pay) "in-app" purchase app from the website. e.g. you can install the NBA League Pass from the website directly. Any other features I missed?
This is from Google themselves, not me.
https://market.android.com/
Cool. I like it.
I never really got into appbrain, because it still involved that extra step of opening the application itself.. and blah.. I think, I can't even remember. It just seemed tedious at the time to go onto the computer when it was quicker on my phone.
Then when Google does it, I'm all over it. I have been installing random applications just to install them. Why is this so awesome?!
I played with it for a while now and everything seems to be working well. I guess I can save some space by uninstalling appbrain and use this instead.
sweet jesus!
I'm like'n it...good stuff!
The automatic OTA install is working to my N1 and my Galaxy Tab now, it wasn't earlier this morning.
Works well!
With this new website comes another big change that will happen in the 3rd quarter of this year: NO MORE "LITE" version apps.

That's actually a good thing. You download the "free" application, and then if you decide to unlock it you buy the key from within the app rather than a separate unlocker application, or having the market cluttered with 2 separate versions.
Sounds like a plan!
The in-app purchasing as a general concept I'm not a massive fan off as it has the potential to lead to nickle & diming, primarily for games, but if used responsibly it should be good.
Wow, about time. Glad to see it's finally here.
now all they need to do is let you backup your app data. I dont want to lose my angry birds scores everytime i switch roms and forget to back it up with titamium backup
Well, I don't suppose there's a way for Market Enabler to work on the website?
It lists paid apps from all over the world, but it knows your phone's carrier and will prevent installs if your country does not support it..
I guess it's back to Market Enabler on the phone.
Anyone else having trouble actually buying apps from the website? Installing free apps works like a charm, but trying to purchase and install paid apps doesn't work. I press continue and _nothing_ happens.
running CM7 nightlies and the OTA installs are not working...
According to the website, you need to be logged into GTalk, only my GTalk won't log in. GTalk also appears to be missing from the market, so the problem may be on their end...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Doesn't work for me, it's been years and Android Market still doesn't support Google Apps accounts for Checkout. Although I can login, no devices are listed under "my devices" on market.android.com
I'm running CM7 Nightlies as well, I'm a few behind though, and I'm always logged into GTalk and the OTA's are not working for me either.
It's not working here on MM v.20. I've tried installing several apps but nothing happens on the phone end, the GTalk solution they give also doesn't help. Weird thing is they all show up on my app list as completed when none of them have actually installed.

I'm having the same issue. I'm running CM6.1 kangorama's version and the install says it has worked on the website, but nothing changes on the phone itself.
I'm wondering if it has to do with it being a rooted device without a stock rom?

I'm betting that someone is going to have to create a Web App Store Enabler or something along those lines for this to work on rooted phones or phones without stock ROM's.

[HELP] Camera not installed on KitKat!!!

Hello,
I'm having a major problem when loading the camera on the main user. It simply crashes...
Let me just explain better the problem and the background situation.
My wife has a N7 2013 that I offered her on her birthday. She is the main user. I also use her nexus so I'm the secondary user.
When I try to launch camera on her user, it simply crashes... Needless to say that I already clean app's data and so on...
When kitkat was released, I grab some of the the apk of several applications that were leaked, hangouts, keyboard, camera/gallery, etc... and upgrade those apps over my user account... I tried them all and all run fine on my user... as I knew that if I installed an app over my user account, that app instantanely is updated (if installed) on the main user account. So I never tested all those apps upgrades...
After that, Kitkat came to N7 and I sideloaded it. A few days ago it updated to the last version via OTA.
Yesterday I was testing something over my wife's user and by accidentally I found out the Camera just wont work!!! It crashes immediately when launched. Going to the Application Manager, on the all app tab, I discovered that the camera app was there but was marked as "Not Installed" down the bottom list.
I tried several things, cleared app settings, installed again from taking the apk from /system/app, nothing...
Also gallery was crashing but I think after I installed the apk from /system/app and worked again.
The other apps (that came with kitkat) work fine and are installed
Is there a way, without factory reset Nexus, to get back Camera on my wife user ?? Any adb command??

Software Update version 51.1.4.0_user_514006420

Amazon just posted the source code to software version 51.1.4.0_user_514006420 on the US Source Code Notice page. So far this update has been limited to UK Fire TVs, but based on the timeline of the German updates, we should all start to see this update roll out soon. The last two updates both began arriving on US Fire TVs 3 days after the source code was posted.
Be warned that there is an older update prior to this one, numbered 51.1.40_user_514005520, that is reportedly causes XBMC/Kodi to instantly crash on launch. I'm guessing most, if not all, will skip it and update directly to the newer version.
Reason number 1 to root and block updates.
Download URL for software version 51.1.4.0_user_514006420 is http://amzdigitaldownloads.edgesuit...ueller-ota-51.1.4.0_user_514006420-signed.bin
Interestingly, the file path is slightly different from previous updates.
amzdigitaldownloads.edgesuite.net/obfuscated-otav3/... (this update)
amzdigitaldownloads.edgesuite.net/obfuscated/... (all previous updates)
Thankfully the domain has stayed the same.
Like the previous update, the Fire TV I don't want to lose root on is the one that received the update. So I'll post my overview of the changes this update brings when either my "sacrificial" Fire TV gets the update or rbox gets time to pre-root this one.
Psst, @rbox
My FireTV updated last night to this firmware (I am in the Netherlands). XBMC/Kodi still works.

So I just updated my Fire TV and uploaded it to my prerooted thread. It looks pretty much the same although my Menu Items xposed module stopped working. It looks like they added the English (UK) language to the selection list. FreeTime still shows up even when switching the language, so not sure how the German/UK boxes know to hide it. Netflix told me I had to update. I hadn't seen anyone mention a new Netflix version and I don't know if people on the old firmware can update to it. The old one is here and the new one is here. It looks like it's a completely different package name, but somehow the Fire TV knows to remove the old one in the process. Some Amazon magic probably, because stock Android doesn't do that. I think this is the "new" layout people have been waiting for. It also seems like it's possibly a native android app vs the old one which seemed to be an html5 app. I am having issues with actually using the Netflix app though. At first it wouldn't log in, then it finally did and it doesn't seem to want to play anything. It might have to do with the fact that the tz partition was updated and it requires that update. I hope not because updating tz can cause an instabrick. I may have to look into this later if Netflix doesnt start working tomorrow.
same issue here. I hope, there is a solution for this as i want the new netflix ui
I tried too. I was forced to upgrade the Netflix app which then prompted me to re-enter my login credentials. I had no problem with that, but nothing will play. I restarted the app multiple times. It always connects to the service, but cant play anything. The circular indicator comes up and spins a bit, gets to 3% and then fails with a message saying that the video cannot be played right now.
Unless Voice search is part of this NetFlix update or not sure if it was already functioning ?? Isn't it better to just sideload NetFlix from the PlayStore since it's the one that gets the most/quickest updates anyway ?? And get rid of this one ?

Well, you need root (and custom recovery) to update the pre-rooted image. So, no, you won't...

I just had a look over on the amazon forums and found this below. Is someone able to try this to see if it fixes Netflix please? If I upgrade & break Netflix I'll be in a lot of trouble with the family
From Amazon customer discussions...
"I found this tip somewhere, and it finally worked. Apparently the Amazon Video app has problems clearing cache or some such.
Go into your settings--> Apps---> Amazon Video. Click the clear cache, and then the delete data. Let it sit for about 30 seconds. Back out and view it to make sure they both show 0.0 MB. Then just turn off (unplug) the FireTV for about 30 seconds. When you come back in, Netflix, Hulu and anything else that has been having trouble connecting will work again. IIts clearly a bug in the Prime Video software "

How about clearing the cache of the NetFlix app too... Or uninstalling Netflix & trying to get it from the Amazon Store again.

I tried that earlier. I cleared data and cache from the Netflix app but it didn't help. (Though I still had no problem connecting again after entering my credentials for the second time.)
I have a possible fix for Netflix. I'm not very confident about it and there is a very good chance it could brick the Fire TV. If anyone wants to try it, knowing that it could very well brick it, PM me.

i cant get the new netflix to install on the older firmware, not backwards compatible for me at least.. which is weird since US users aren't forced to update yet afaik so it should work, amazon store says it sent it to my fire tv but it was still the old app. so i added it to the amazon cloud, which got it showing up on the TV, when i goto download it i get "install failed". Are any US users using the new netflix app with an older firmware and updates blocked?
can we swap boot and recovery and still get to fire OS via reboot recovery? might make it safer to test.

The new netflix app seems to require a newer version of the Amazon SDK. After playing around with some things I noticed it's expecting a new type of drm library that if it doesn't exist it will fail to run. And that library didn't exist before 51.1.4.0.
As for testing my fix, it's something that would prevent the main bootloader from working if it were to brick it. If only someone was able to figure out how to write the mmc, it'd be very risk free to test...

System dump?

Hi so been on 7.0 for at least a month and just last two days phone was being really buggy so I turned the phone off and back on phone didn't prompt for password to boot.
Is there a way I can save the whole phone on to drive to send to someone to take a closer look to see what virus is on here Im guessing it's a rootkit some how also what way would you run packet capture to see things that way?

a virus would be software related...if you did a full wipe and installed fresh software and it continues it might be an app you keep installing...do you get your apps from the playstore or side load as well

playstore only before my phone was locked boot loader and encrypted to have to use pin to boot device.
AS SOON as i get the buggy phone and reboot when it boots up it no longer request pin to boot. on stock rom i was rebooting phone every week to see how long it would take and usually nothing odd until phone got buggy for reason of the reboot.
the buggy issue is shortly opening an app the app will freeze so i hit home nothing happends try to turn the screen off nothing happends until a minute later sometimes phone will reboot its self or i hold power to make it reboot but both take about same amount of time when phone goes into full freeze.
so it being a playstore app and the virus not getting detected google needs to look into how they can patch this...
so im putting this out there so this person or group doesnt forever have a backdoor into peoples phones.
this issue i have had since november last year but havent been so aware about the issue till august. since august ive been dealing with know some how they are getting in and must be an app but i got rid of all games and weird apps that are not nessisary

these are all the apps ive had since ive had this issue.
i was hopping that esfiles exploreres new feature of being notified of new files would help solve this but some folders it doesnt detect like youtube or google music even though in es files explorer i unlocked ability to view the .nomedia
Drop ES File Explorer, to start. Read this article, or do some googling about it on your own;
https://www.androidpit.com/this-is-why-you-should-not-use-es-file-explorer
I have to agree with the article when it says Solid Explorer is a great replacement. I've used it for years now and it's never let me down.
The fact of the matter is, if you manually wiped all of your phone and formatted your internal storage, nothing remains from pre-wipe. If your issue is coming back it can only be a hardware issue (if applicable) or some app you are using, as previously mentioned.
Furthermore, after googling your exact issue I came to find that certain apps that require 'Accessibility Services' can and will disable your pin/password/pattern on boot. Check if any of your apps fit the bill in 'Settings > Accessibility > Services'
Disable any apps which are enabled and reboot. You may have to set up pin, etc., again, but leave the services disabled and see if the issue returns. Let us know!
Edit: Upon more googling, I've found reports of people who had the issue return after disabling & uninstalling the apps in question as well. You may need to flash stock images again and do not install any apps that require accessibility services, or don't grant any of them permission even once.
Edit2: Just another link to check out;
https://blog.g3rt.nl/android-lollipop-encryption-user-interface-flaw.html
Edit3: Issue tracker link; https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=219498
Edit4: If you logged into your bank app and factory reset or flashed factory images, logging in again after the wipe/flash will show as a new device. Same goes for having login alerts set for Google / Facebook, etc. Your same phone shows as a new device after the flash or wipe. Guaranteed not a virus.

Thank you! I tried googling but guess I wasn't doing it properly.
I turned off keeper nothing.
I un installed it nothing.
I dont know how to re enable boot encryption pin.
the phone says it is so I'll try clean install again and just not allow keeper anymore I think the issue has come up just after turning keeper on to allow the accessibility features.
Thank you I will keep you informed give it till February if nothing odd happened.

Also thanks I know about the added devices I cleaned the one to my bank account and I look at my other accounts every once in awial and make sure nothing odd wish my bank account showed what devices instead of only having clean on Facebook I've had things look suspicious ips from another states but the device listed was same as mine so don't know if they are able to spoof that.
I always assumed that some how the cell tower was saying it is relayd to Cali or something.

Well turns out it was keeper I switched to last pass uninstalled keeper before uninstall It was telling me 8 hrs of battery life. Now 21 more hrs with already being on for 5 hrs at 78%.
Phone hasn't had any weird issues. Except I had lost the encryption anyways and only after having the new image for one week now been going for three weeks.
