i noticed a problem with the camera app
whenever i open the X1's camera..the first time..there is no view..its all blank screen...then i close it and restart..and then only i have the view.
what is this bug?
bump.............
I think it's just some bug, never thought of making a thread myself though.
This happens to me to. every time I start the camera, the viewfinder is black. I have to close the app and restart it. This happens in both the old and new UK ROM
This has started happening to me since i updated to the newest version of angeluz x1 widescreen mode for touchflo 3d :\.
I had this problem once in a while, with R1A GENERIC UK ROM.
But not every time. Maybe 1 of 5 camera starts.
I've had R2A for a week now and so far so good - no blank starts.
I had the same problem with the R1 ROM, and still have it with official R2 ROM :/.
No biggie though.. I just exit and start it again.
I have this problem, dunno if this helps find the cause, but try to turn on led does nt work.
one time i tried over 5 times until view come on.
Updating the firmware fixed the problem for me.
never had the problem, but it's probably going to happen sooner or later =[
maybe you have heavy program running background?
I had once because of this
Hi guys i got some freezing issues, anyone got an idea what could it be? i'm totally new to Android/tablets, so other then this info, i don't know what else to say, or explain the issue better, it just freezing for like 5 sec, and after it works normal, its random freezing. I hope anyone can help me, thanks.
Is it when you update or install apps?
This is normal, the OS can freeze for a few seconds during write operations.

What ROM and kernel are you using? Are you over clocked?

No overclock at all, Kernel - 3.4.0-g9e52a21
Build number JSS15R all stock here. No custom ROM's..
I experience the same BS on an all stock WIFI model (2013.06 date code). Thought it was JB 4.3 teething pain but my Note 3 running 4.3 doesn't do it. Have mainly noticed it playing Great Big War Game where it'll randomly freeze the whole tablet once per launch for about 10 secs where nothing responds (show touch, home, switch task, etc.) then it'll either return to normal or prompt with dialog to wait or close. Have also had it happen in Modern Combat 3 along with the random app close that, again, doesn't affect Note 3. Haven't seen newer apps affected so perhaps it's a software issue and is fixable but it's irritating nevertheless considering it's a Nexus device and after correcting the touch issues with ts10 firmware update. Going to try reflashing the stock image to see if it fixes it otherwise looking forward to dumping this Asus for a Note 10.1 2014 LTE. My Note 10.1 2013 and Note 2 have been 100% solid with never a crash, hang or touch issues.
I had freezing problems when i was trying out the TS20 fix. TS10 seems to yield erratic behaviour randomly after each reboot.
Ever snce i've been testing the ones between TS10 and TS20. TS16 works better for me than TS18 - just being more responsive but both has no reboot issues. Am testing TS14 now and it seems better than TS16 but i needed more time to run it. None of the 14,16 and 18 has given me any kind of freeze after 24hrs of testing on multi-touch intensive apps.
You might wanna give 16 a try... i will be posting a more detailed update in sfhub's thread when i'm done with TS14 and TS12 testing.
Cheers
Thanks for the answers guys, but this is really new to me, i got no idea what is TS 14, TS 18 or TS16, can you guys explain me a bit? thanks.
I had the same issue. Please see my observations at post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46082214#post46082214
However, I have recently tried to uninstall all apps (backing up with titanium backup) and installing back in bunches. With only the apps/games I use daily, the issue appears to have subsided, and I am trying to slowly bring apps back to see what the issue is.
Original post for consolidation purposes:
When it happens: Touch intensive Games (drastic, MMOJ, Dumb Ways) appears to be when the 3D GPU is NOT in use, netflix, when paused for a short while.
What happens:
1. Screen does not update display appears frozen
2. No response from nav bar icons
3. Power, volume buttons give no response.
4. If audio was playing right before it froze, it will keep playing as if nothing wrong.
5. If I hit the power button or the nav button then let it sit for a few minutes, suddenly it will react to every press I did in quick motion and go back to normal.
5a. I had show touches enabled, which showed a random number of the frozen touches working in quick succession when it "unfroze"
6. Sometimes requires a hard restart with no response.
When it started: Right before the Q update starting rolling out, did not have issues out of the box.
Purchase date and location: Right around the time of launch from best buy, 32 GB 2013 version
Troubleshooting steps: Safe mode (doesn't appear as often), full factory restore to the Q image when the R image started rolling out. Issues were gone for a short timeframe, then returned
Config information: Stock, latest firmware version, rooted via TWRP (latest version installed), and SU.
Observation: Appears to occur in select situations, and I believe I always have a GMAIL notification right when it un-freezes.
Let me know what you think and if it should be merged with a different topic, didn't see anything about it un-freezing when it was frozen or audio still playing.

Please refer to this thread for a fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428133
The fix from the thread above helps with many touchscreen issues including freezes.
At least it helped with mine. I was experiencing freezes and so called "sticky touches" (like when you short tap on something and the device interprets it as a tap and hold).
My device came with pre-Q and went through three OTA updates. After reflashing with factory R image minus wiping data (remove -w from flash-all.bat file) and with ts10 all appear to be better so far. Modern Combat 3 still randomly closes but it could be Gameloft's crappy coding. Need to run it for a few more days to confirm but reflashing factory R image with ts10 offer the best experience so far.
Mine does too now in addition to the already random reboot. The freezing happens when I try to input text on the keyboard.

Hey guys,
I've upgraded from S4 to S5 and the most noticeable (negative) change is that the camera takes significantly longer to start (from 1-2 seconds on S4 to 4-5 seconds on S5).
A couple of seconds might not sound a lot, but it is very frustrating when you want to capture the moment, and because your camera is taking forever to start, you miss it.
I know 2 other friends who has this complaint as well. Are there are any solutions to make the startup faster?
Thanks in advance
the lastest update firmware fix this issue, it improves camera speed, mine takes only 2-3 seconds to start up (with external sd card), its faster without sd card.
I do have the latest update I believe (when I check for updates, it says it's up to date).
i would recommend you to flash firmware, not ota update. or you could back up your apps and do factory reset to see if there is any improvement

My stock OS opens the camera fast, after the update it became3x slower. I should have not updated. I'm thinking the culprit is the first update because the phone prompted the first update the instant it first time it connects to the internet. I only did the updates after a month since I have no issues. But then the second update was already available and I thought to myself that I should not miss more than 1 update. As the saying goes, if it ain't broke, don;t fix it.
that's why i would recommend to reflash latest stock firmware, i personally don't trust ota update

Hello after the update to Android N, i have noticed that many apps stop responding after some minutea using them (most of them are streaming apps, like popcorntime, kodi, etc..)
Does anyone got the same problem?
Is there any solution to that?
Thanks in advanced
Anyone?
I got this problem since i updated to Android N..
Example:
When im watching a movie in popcorn time app for Android TV everything its ok, but afer like 30 mins, the subtitles stop and the if i try to pause the app, it stop responding and i have to close it, that didnt happen before with android M
Maybe many apps aren't compatible with Android N yet? Because this happens with some other apps as well..
Anyone got the same problem? Any solution? I already factory reset the mexus player but still the same
This has been ongoing for me too and like you I've already done the factory reset. I think the problem is many of the television apps were written in 2013 and more or less abandoned since then. Even then I've seen it in some of the supposedly updated apps so I'm just not sure...
I'm having kind of the same issue with Kodi after the Android 7 upgrade.
After watching something for 20-30 minutes it starts "buffering", but nothing happens. I have to force shutdown the app and reload it to make use of it again.
Weird part though is that it happens at random. Normally it happens after 20-30 minutes, but sometimes after 10 minutes or a couple of hours..
I'm seriously considering rooting my Nexus Player, just to go back to Marshmallow.
Hi folks
I received my OP2 in July 2016, and this issue has been a mild periodic annoyance. As I approach the end of my warranty, I want to be 100% confident that this issue is software rather than hardware... (so rather than a fix, my highest priority is confirming that I do not have a hardware defect)
The issue is that the screen rotation will stop working for most, but not all apps (OnePlus Camera is the sole exception, it seems). It will rotate normally for a couple weeks and then I'll notice in some app, usually YouTube or Facebook first, that the screen orientation won't rotate anymore. Once I notice it in any app, no other app rotates either except the stock camera. I have been experiencing this symptom on-and-off for most of the time I've had the device, spanning multiple OOS releases (currently 3.5.8 and still happening).
A reboot fixes the condition, then it works fine for a week or two and comes back. OnePlus support suggested a factory reset, which I've done pursuing this issue before, and it didn't help (it immediately helped, obviously, but the issue did return on the same schedule as before).
I had my OP2 rooted, but still using the stock ROM otherwise, for several months (to be able to use Adblock). I reverted to 100% stock configuration pursuing this issue, it happened the same before/during/after the time it was rooted.
I have checked out the accelerometer with the app "Test Your Android" and watched the graph in the "gravity sensor" test. When the phone is in its non-rotating state and I rotate the phone, the graph lines cross but the app stays in portrait. This makes me think the phone knows it has rotated. I reboot the phone, redo the same test, and the graph looks similar except the app now rotates as well (ironic, really).
Is there a background service for "screen orientation" similar to how Play Services provides GPS information to other apps? If so, am I right in suspecting that the service responsible for answering the question, "what way is the device oriented currently?" is either not answering, or answering incorrectly?
I would prefer not to go to a third party ROM just to test this as I'm very happy with the current config of my device, other than this issue popping up from time to time. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks!
OOS has a tonne of services running under android system continuously. Screen orientation feedback might be one of them. I haven't used OOS in months. It doesn't seem like a hardware issue since a reboot solves it. If it is too frustrating then try testing it on a custom rom. You can switch back to stock once you are sure it was a problem in OOS or not.

The more I think about it, the more stupid it seems to have a device that is rather well-supported by custom ROM devs and to not try some out.
I'll shop around for a ROM and give it a shot. I'm thinking and hoping this is strictly a software issue.

In case you want suggestions, try these:
Bliss
Halogen
Validus
Lineage 13
Well, I have the same issue on my OP2 intermittently and it does not matter which rom I am using. In addition to OOS, I have had this issue on Marshmallow Cyanogenmod / Nougat Lineage based roms. Sooner or later it always returns. It seems to happen after longer uptime periods. E.g. with OOS3 I had an uptime stretch of 40+ days (without a reboot), so during this time I experienced the autorotation issue multiple times. It seems to get fixed by itself, but then comes back again. A reboot fixes it usually for longer period of time. As I am now on a custom rom, which is updated quite often, at least once of twice a week, the uptime stretches are not that long and I do not experience this issue often. I have noticed that the step counting sensors also stop working intermittently.
On rooted lineage based rom you can manually restart the sensors with following terminal commands:
su
stop sensors
start sensors
Don't know if this works on OOS. I made a tasker task shortcut for this on my homescreen.
Interesting...I have had the problem on-and-off I'd say, sometimes it follows this ~2 week pattern, sometimes it'll go longer than a month with no issues that I've noticed. Of course, it's also fairly rare that I watch videos on my phone and this is the main time that I realize it won't rotate.
Of course, with the current trend being to make all videos square with unnecessary obnoxious text in the letterbox black space, I suppose I'll never need to rotate my phone again </sarcasm>.
Prior to utkarsh102's suggestions I had already flashed AOSPExtended so I'm going to try rolling with this for a short time, if any issues surface (unrelated to my rotation issue) I'll try another ROM. Given that I'm trying to diagnose this issue before my warranty runs out (yeah, shoulda done it sooner, I know) I'll need to have a usable solution that can run stable for weeks uninterrupted to catch this again, if it's going to happen again.
FYI OnePlus support was entirely unhelpful about this issue. They completely disregarded the fact that it is intermittent and was not currently happening when I reported it to them. They were not able to suggest any diagnostic effort I could take to narrow down the issue further. Viewing the accelerometer readings was my own idea, not theirs. That suggestion absolutely should have come from them.
I do know I'm/we're not isolated in having this issue as there are other forum posts on various sites complaining of it.
I'll keep this thread updated with my findings, in the meantime anyone who has experienced this issue please chime in. It would be helpful to present to OnePlus, though I get the impression they won't care as they seem to have classified the 2 as a legacy product at this point. It's not like we're trying to get parts for a dot-matrix printer here.
Edit, October 2017, to provide an update without bumping the thread:
I've been using AOSPExtended on a constant basis since my last update to this thread and while I have experienced a variety of other issues, this particular one with the screen rotation has not affected me. My uptime has never been super long, but long enough at times that I should have seen this issue if it were going to happen following the same pattern as before.
