I had a similar sounding issue a few months ago that turned out to be a hardware fault. Can you provide more details of the actual problem? Does the camera freeze for around 5 seconds at a time when used in well lit areas?

I had a similar problem. After I updated via OTA did not last a week and already had problems with the camera. My problem was that the camera did not start tried other camera apps and nothing worked. The phone was for assistance,.

"Camera Failed" after upgrading to KitKat...??

Got a strange issue here. My camera was working fine on JB (stock rom & also on KnoxRaid 2.6). After the kitkat v2 release of Knoxraid I decided to give it a try. Everything is perfect except whenever I open the camera I get "Warning - Camera Failed". I restored back to mj5 thinking it was maybe a hardware thing but no, the camera works perfectly on stock mj5. So I decided to test Knoxraid 2.6 (non kitkat version) and again, camera work fine. I have asked Drakeymcmb what he thinks about the issue, but I think it has even him stumped. He suggested I try the other kitkat rom leaked by designgears. So again I restored back to mj5 and then tried the designgears leak. No luck, camera failed. I have wiped my internal memory and tried everything I can think of. I am hoping maybe someone has run into this issue and knows a fix?? Please help!! Thanks!
Not having any camera failing, but I'm experiencing a pretty substantial lag after taking a photo.
When i hit the shutter button, my screen will say "Processing". If the camera moves AT ALL before the "processing" is done, the picture will be blurry -it almost looks like I've moved the camera during exposure.
Anyone else having this problem?

I notice that as well. I just turn the smart stabilization off and problem solved. Turn it back on when you wanna take pic in the dim light situation and be prepare to hold the phone still.

Were really talking about 2 completely different issues here. I wish my problem was that the camera was too slow, but mine will not load at all...

[Q] Camer preview flickers

Good day all,
I got my Z1 and updated to 4.4.2. Its a non rooted one. I have issues in camera. The camera preview itself flickers all time, even though pictures taken were clear. I tried clearing cache and data files, factory reseted too; didn't help !!! I Is there any way to overcome this bug?
Thanks!!
Reg,
Raj.
Not sure if this is what you mean, but I also have a lot of noise in the viewfinder/camera etc. (hard to describe exactly but sort of like watching analogue television not quite on the station correctly).. have never seen this on any other smartphone..
My phone is brand new.. seems to really only be a problem indoors/low light etc..
Does everyone have this? coming from an S3 its a bit off putting.

There is no difference in Rooted or Not, this is related to the Update, one of many issues. I think there is no fix, just try different Rom, even stock.
Camera Preview not working

Camera stottering - New rom / kernel a solution?

Hello,
because i bought a new phone i gave my "old" Nexus 6 to my wife. Since a updated to Marshmallow i had problems with the camera. It stuttered while making a video. But i dont often used the camera, so i ignored it. My wife is Snapchat addicted and she can't make good videos with the front camera of the N6....it's like a slide show....the record is not smooth. I searched at the internet and a lot of people have the same problem since Adnroid Marchmallow ....
I flashed her CM 14, because i thought it might be a problem with the stock rom , but the problem remained. So my question is. Because i know i had not the problem at Android Lollipop. Is there anybody who had the same problem and solved it with flashing another rom? Or is it worth to try another kernel? I looked at the "rom forum" and found the "sky dragon 5.0 with a "new" kernel and probably i will try this. So my question is....is it a problem with the rom? is it a problem with the kernel? is it a problem with the hardware? What you expert think its the best way to fix the problem (i tried tips in the internet like diasble geodata at the photos or disable the battery safer for the camera app).
I hope you are able to understand my english. Otherwise i will explain it in other words.
Thank you very much!
Flash a factory image (will wipe the phone 100% but take it back to bone stock). If the camera issue is present on stock rom, stock kernel, with no modifications, then it's a hardware issue.
i have had problems with stuttering camera app before but it was fixed by resetting the phone. not really sure why after installing a new ROM you still facing this issue.
have you tried other camera apps? download a free one from the store and see its the same deal.
My first Nexus 6 had no issues whatsoever. When I had to RMA that one for the massive battery bulge issue, my second Nexus 6 had the camera stuttering issue. It would happen whether I was taking still shots or video. Obviously it was more noticeable on video, but it still made taking stills difficult. I took a video at the time to post on here to see if other people where having the same problem, but actually never got around to posting it...

Anyway, I RMAed that phone for the camera issue but then the third N6 had the same issue. I decided to live with it though since (a) Motorola has a really frustrating return policy/procedure, and (b) since two different devices had it I didn't think there was any guarantee that an RMA would fix the problem.
Fortunately, I've noticed that lately (running Nougat now), the stutter has mostly gone away. I'd say that for still pictures it has gone away entirely. For videos, I think it is gone as long as you use the stock camera app. I've noticed that if you use other apps, like Instagram for example, my video still has issues. In that case though, it's more of a constant refocusing issue than a stutter issue.
So moral of the story is... for me at least, it seems to be ok on Nougat as long as you stick to the stock camera app.

Screen flickering and artifacts.

Hi All,
After updating to Oreo got this weird issue, screen flickers every, roughly 2 seconds. Wit the times it also starts showing some color artifacts, freezing some parts of the screen and eventually going to complete gray-to-black flickering only. Anyone experienced something similar?
I'm thinking it may not be Oreo upgrade related just (unfortunately) some hardware issue.
Cheers

I've had similar issue after updating to oreo.
Half screen displayed artifacts.
Nokia replied to me saying that there is a bug in display drivers. Probably gong to update it soon.
Had to send it back.
Replacement works fine.

The left half of my screen is covered with black/white/grey artifacts. Sometimes after resetting or going back to factory defaults the screen goes back to normal again.
Running Oreo on a 128gb Nokia 8. REally hope it is software related (driver?). So far installing the latest updates doen't fix the problem.
Switched back to my old Samsung Galaxy S6 but man I miss my 8 already.
I changed the motherboard and I got ghost touch problem then I change the lcd and everything seems fine to me
I don't think is sw problem
I have the same problem today. As i received a call, display start to flicker. As i have all imp docs in my phone as i relies on NOKIA , I am as nothing. Somehow I am able to reset to factory reset. phone start works, but I lost all my valuable datas. How can one relies on NOKIa, who was one of BEST
Bro I have a issue of red strip visible on egdes when we turn on night mode for long time with a grey background

Camera quality since last update

Hi everyone, I couldn't find anything related to my problem at all, so I hope I don't have a hardware defect..
I have my device since end of June and have taken a lot of awesome pictures with it. I returned from vacation 2 weeks ago and since then I think there have been 2 system updates on the phone.
I can't recall on which but I started noticing last week how awful my pictures have become.. Also the focus starts moving by itself sometimes and the flash is being used when it shouldn't be used.
I honestly don't want to do a system reset, because I don't want to take the time and copy all my pictures back and forth.
I already tried wiping the camera cache and delete the camera app data with no positive results.
I attached a few examples of how bad and noisy the pictures have become..
If someone has any ideas please let me know..
Only based upon this single blurry photo you attatched i cannot really provide any useful comments and suggestions. You need to put a little bit more effort into proving AF issues in daylight situations or good indoors lighting. Any camera, even DSLR's would miss focus in such dark situations such as your example photo shows.
/ Magnus
Problem is I have taken the very same photo on a lot of Days at the dark hours and they were never like this.
I have attached another picture which I have shot at dawn (zoomed in a little bit and Screenshotted because uploading here sizes the pictures down too much)
Edit: and another one few days ago in daylight, its very blurry and the colors are noisy..
Which firmware version you are on??

the same thing happened to me. I solved it by installing the camera application. the link.

I'm on latest firmware (156 c432 + mini patch). @trasto2es thank you for the information but I didn't really want to open bootloader and flash a custom recovery. Is there no other way?
Same config and same issue on my side.
I've contacted the Huawei support about this topic. No solution at the moment, but the problem is already known.
Hi @littlemincer thanks for your answer. Could you please keep us up to date about huaweis answer?
Did you try a factory reset?
edit: i did a factory resest with full firmware reflash now. it didn´t solve the problem
I also noticed a drop in quality after the last update CLT-L29 (432) 8.1.0.156. In my specific case the problem is in the Huawei image gallery software that appears to be applying a filter on the photos. I downloaded the simple gallery application and my problem has been resolved. Try it out!
someone with the very last update about camera quality......?
