[Q] Camera problems (MiniCM7-2.1.8)

Hi,
I have a persistent problem with my camera with the MiniCM7-2.1.8: it simply doesn't work.
When I start the camera, the interface comes in, but where you are supposed to the picture, everything is just black. Then the the camera app force closes. The camera worked a while with MiniCM7-2.1.6, then the problem appeared suddenly and nothing seems to solve it (full wipe with MiniCM7-2.1.6, MiniCM7-2.1.7 and MiniCM7-2.1.8., several times)
The camera doesn't work with third party camera apps either
I don't want to change this rom, for this is by far the most outstanding in my opinion, but it would be great to have a camera.
Any suggestions are welcome, thanks!

Hi, I'm from Venezuela and I have a problem, the rom works perfectly but does not work the camera button to take the picture and must be from the screen ...
also has some problems in the status bar but they are minimal, really good is my first report I want to thank you for making my phone I marvel more and more by large developers like you ...
Hi saintckk,
Now I am using nAa 10, but I had the same problem with 8b an 9 as well. I am kind of out of ideas what might have caused this - as I said, I tried several fresh installs and full wipes.

Auto Rotation is not working properly...Plss help me :-(

Hi guys
Auto rotation is not working properly on my galaxy s...some times it doesn't even work...I tested it on both ICS and Gingerbread...Really it is hurting me...plss help me to solve this problem...
Thanks in advanced
plsss guys help me...im waiting for your replyyy
If its any help, my auto rotation was pretty buggered as well. It would work on gingerbread but only if you help the phone more vertical than you really needed to. ICS wouldnt work at all.
Mine also wouldn't work properly in google sky maps and similar apps, if you panned left and right, it would also twist the view a bit, difficult to explain but see if sky maps works as expected. Also compass wouldnt work properlly, only worked with phone flat, soon as you tilt it would start to change direction when should be pointing same way.
I went back to various stock roms, different modems, loads of stuff, reflashing boot loaders, unrooting everything and couldnt fix it.
was a hardware fault, no other reason i could see why it wouldnt work, and just got phone replaced under warranty. all good now.
what ROM you use or you are in stock ROM? go to settings/about telephone and write what you see in there

there is no calibration in settings.....what to do now?
I have a similar problem.
Autorotation of apps works ok on Ginger (2.3.5, 2.3.6), but on any ICS that I have tested doesn't work.
ICS has no horizontal calibration, so do not know what else to do.
Any hint?
i have the same problem on I9000 4.1.2 cyanogen mod,any solution?

[Q] Problem with camera

Hi.
Everything was fine, but i started to have issues with my camera in the last week. The camera app closed every time i tried to open it.
At this time, my phone was in the last version of the stock rom. I tried to install the CM 11 (FXP rom... i was already wanting to test this rom, so i tried it to see if the bug disappears) but it doesn't work, except for the first time that i used the camera in the new rom. The apps that use the camera (whatsapp, snapchat, etc...) are also having this issue. The front camera is fine (despite that i can't select it before the camera app closes).
I tried some things, such as clear the data/cache, restart the phone, force the camera to stop working, use the apps "restart camera" and Camera (CM fix) and nothing works.
I would really appreciate if someone could help me.
Thanks!
ps: sorry for possible errors in my post. My english isn't very good.

Seems like a hardware issue, try giving the phone a light knock at the back also see what Xperia Diagnostics says for the camera test. If it still persists you may be better off contacting Sony support/forums.
Btw do you have an unlocked bootloader?

P20 pro issues since pie update

Hi I am in Hungary I just got the update a couple of days ago. It was 8 before and now it is 9 and EMUI 9.
Since the update I had 1 random restart and for me it is less smooth. My main issue is I use the double tap on the recent apps button to go back to the previous app a lot and it is not really working always or I have to do it quite slow and not the same as I did and it stuck and have to do again and very annoying. It is also ignoring some apps to go back to like it was not used at all. And there are other minor bugs like in a game I double tap and it makes a screenshot. I know the double knock thing I use it a lot but before it was not this sensitive and it was doing only for knocks and not taps. I was hoping so much the new EMUI 9 would support 3rd party apps notifications on the AOD but no. I am disappointed. My last phone was a S galaxy s7 and they made this integration so quickly. I have a feeling we are abandoned. Anybody have some news about this? I miss it so much. The phone is faster a bit anyway and the battery time is great. I deleted the cache partition. So what is your opinion about these things? Thanks guys.
9.0.0.163
emui 9.0.0.
Try format factory reset, im in the same release and its working great everything

Try to reinstall with the OTG method, should work, in my case was same, the first installation felt laggy, but after i repeat the process, works smoothy
one annoyance i found in emui 9 is that now the default sim for sms will follow default internet sim, not the call one like how it was in emui 8,
this cause issue for banking app that using background sms for verification,
the app will say am using incorrect sim card if i use it with an internet connection from second sim.
this wasnt an issue in emui 8.
i hope this is just a coding bugs instead of purposely made by huawei

For me the battery life is awful... Last night i have lost 30% in 8h hours!!!
I have wiped cache partition.
I don't have any issue after update... Phone works perfect, camera perfect, battery perfect... after update I did FR

We are on the same release, and i dont have any issue with banking app. Everything also running perfect. The only issue i found after 168 update is night mode camera. It become noisy and blurry especially under shadow and dark area. Very disappointed. It wasnt happen in emui 8

banking app itself is fine as long as i use internet from the sim that i used for banking verification as well,
it become an issue when i use internet from another sim. the app will unable to send verification sms from the correct registered sim, since in emui 9, default sms sim is following the one used as default for data in dual sim setting, while in emui 8, it follow the one used for call.
kinda hard to explain it in a word, lol. But this is common problem with dual phone sim, and thats why i expect all oem to actually give us setting to set default sim for sending sms, now we can only set default for data and call.
I am with locked bootloader.
I have updated my p20 pro to pie via SD card.
Now, is it possible to return to official oreo without unlocking bootloader..
Thanks
It's same the problem with my P20 Pro After I had updated to EMUI9 the Chrome app didn't sync well everything.. My old bookmarks are empty also! It also flashed off in the Google app before, I reset to factory for twice. And then is turn to Google Play store's apps update to update repeated.. It's like you never did it :silly::silly: I'm thinking about take it back to 8 through the Huawei Hisuite.. I think the Android 9 Pie comes with EMUI 9 is not ready for now... By the way, I'm from Vietnam, a Chinese.
(2) I've just tried to up to EMUI9 one more time.. But this time my phone didn't get matters at all, it's running well!
- Above all issues didn't see any more :laugh:
Things I did just simply returned to the 8 ver through HiSuite, then I used it for the ordinary days, logged in Google accounts also..
At before I was using Chinese language for the Huawei Vietnam device.. So I think it was wrong during updating something just like that, in this time I changed device back to Vietnamese language(root) & update to EMUI9 with Hicare app in the phone........... I saw something after it had updated was the update's log is writing Vietnamese while my phone was changing into Chinese language.. So funny about it! But the most important thing was everything well! No battery draining quickly too, thank gods!
- The present patch:
9.0.0.168(C636E2R1P12patch01)
- The present version:
9.0.0.168(C636E2R1P12)
*My suggestion you do not put it in Factory Reset, do not change to other locations through changing language in the phone, update it to 9EMUI based on the lastest ver of EMUI8(local) with the patches if it has. Good luck to you..

Could you explain how to do this please?
I did factory reset my p20 pro and it seems it is the same. I have the same problems just like after the update. 1. Double tap on recent apps squere button (go to previous app instantly) is laggy often stuck on the card view instead of reloading the previous app immediately. 2. Touch screen less responsive, many times I can see a blueish 'sparking' mark or line where I touch or swipe the screen means the system detected my touch but it is not linked to the OS properly. Anyway the battery and everything else seems good. So what is otg method I tried to search but it seems not so common or they call different, and anyway how can a factory reset different than the other FR? thank you guys and happy new year!
Hi All
I wonder if I could ask a favour? The stock camera app I have on EMUI 8 (5th November update) has no method of saving the photos other than internal storage. Does the camera app on Pie have an option to save to an external location eg OTG SD card?
Thanks in anticipation...
Steve
