whenever i enable RAW format in the camera app, the screen goes black. then after force closing the app, it shows the error as camera being used by another process. is there a way to troubleshoot it or any other good alternatives that is as good as the stock camera.
my device - EVA-L09
Build number - L09C675B320 [this (B320) is the latest firmware that i have on my device even on firmware finder]
thanks
Did you tried wiping camera app data? (full wipe, not just cache).
If its not visible in app list , just hit those 3 dots and select "show system processes".
As for alternatives for default camera app, there is none. Huawei camera is only app that properly support all features.
And its weird that you are still with B320. If your phone is not branded, you can try small trick that I found out work with P9 lite(dont know if it work on normal P9 because I always get latest update).
Turn off and on your device, then change language to eg, Spanish or France, or any other from Europe. Then restart phone again. I have no idea how its possible but my brother P9Lite just like that got notification about update after changing language from Polish to Spanish
There is a change that its just coincidence, good luck, but it will not hurt trying...

Thanks for responding @Akinaro, I tried data wipe of camera and did not change anything. Also I tried the language change thing but did not receive any update notifications.
My question now is if I manually flash an updated firmware (that is not available in my country), does it void my warranty?

Hello all
Recently picked up a LG Optimus 2X - everything seems to be ok with it, however the 'rear camera / flash' doesn't work ?
Choose the camera settings from the menu, the camera app opens up, but the screen is black, won't pick any image up whats so ever ?
Choose the 'front facing' camera and that works ok as it should
I installed a flashlight app, to check the flash led and again the led won't light up ?
Anyone come across this before and what other checks / remedies can I carry out to possibly get it working?
Moreso whats the possible cause of it not working in the 1st place ?
There is the orginal latest stock rom on it V20L - GB 2.3.4 - unrooted
Carried out a few data / wipe settings to see if that cured,but didn't.
Thanks for reading.

try a factory reset....it should work.
or try to update with a LG update tool
Did that twice - recovery mode - reset / wipe data / clear caches / dalvik
Rebooted - same issue - rear camera blacked screen - no picture / front camera works !
Both camera lenses are free from dirt and blockage etc !
Sometimes the camera app freezes and force closes - suggesting it could be a software prob ?
Other Google Play camera apps have been tried with the same results.
The phone isn't rooted by the way now.
I did root and install two different versions of 'cm 7 and 9' roms with the updated 'camera' patch stock files that had been created for better results.
Same issues again, if there was a camera app or patch that I found that was for the rom I was using I used it.
However unrooted, fresh install of the original factory rom.
Used the LG updater windows program to see if there was an update, the program said the phone had the latest version - V20L - GB 2.3.4
Since you RECENTLY picked it up, I assume you have warranty.
If yea, just return it to the dealers.
If you want, you can try using custom ROM, but REMEMBER YOU MESS UP YOUR WARRANTY ONCE YOU ROOT THE PHONE so until you can be sure you can reverse it, just take the easy path and return it.
As I already mentioned in my last response yesterday, I have already tried 2 custom rom installations.
The CM 7 and the CM9 custom roms !!
The outcome when turning on the camera was exactly the same - black screen !!
Thus / thereafter reverting BACK to the original stock rom installation with NO root - for it to do exactly the same !!
i have the same problem, i even changed the back camera module with a new one from alibaba and it didnt help.i wonder could it be the main PCB card.
any ideas?
I think that the PCB is damaged if you even tryed different Roms I don't think that it is an software issue then. I will search a bit
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app
I just notice my from camera is not working properly, the image looks almost cartoonish colors are weird and I notice this after I flashed another rom in my phone. My front camera works great by the way. I had a branded (Telcel) rom and now I got the Spain V20S Is there a way to fix this? Has anyone encounter this problem as well?
Maybe you accidently chose the option to use cartoon mode? If not, go to setting --> apps --> look for camera app (it's under all applications), hit it, delete cache and data and it should work fine again.
I tried what you said but nothing. I also went back to my stock roms v10a and v20a but nothing. I guess its broken or something like that.
Tried a factory reset already? System --> Privacy --> Factory data reset
If this also doesnt work... You definitly got a problem...
Hello everyone,
As the title says I have a problem on my S3 (i9305).
First of all I want to know that it has been dropped or anything,
I put the official version 4.1.2 (the DBT for Germany was the latest then) instead of 4.0.4, rooted + busybox + modem network Vodafone Romania (XXBLL5) and it worked just fine until yesterday.
I arrived at work I checked my mail via wifi network, I disconnected I put on charger and after an hour I removed to make some mail and then give it to initialize wifi stupor show he wants to start and stop and did not want in any way to start a (looks like starts and stops).
Good now seeing that I got it and I somewhat empirically and did the following things:
-clear cache, wipe Dalvik, reset permisions - still did not work
-restore the Nandroid for wifi - did not work
I managed to got mad and threw factory reset - still not working height
-continuing with nervousness I flashed phone about 4 times with different versions 4.1.2 and version 4.3 but bootloader of 4.1.2-
Normally he did not want none and some gave the "camera failed" error.
All versions have been flashed after wipe cache, dalvik and factory reset so I say something to remain excluded from one another.
Now I'm on a Vodafone version 4.1.2 on sammobile after I haunted a bit on the internet I saw that its more people with this problem and someone had an alternative after you rename the file "wpa_suplicant.conf" in root / data / misc / wifi.
I did this and go but it is something temporary peak for once stop or restart your wifi is not working and another thing
mobile internet does not work without you come in APN and reset its there.
Sorry I did read both but I do not understand the phenomenon and to solve it because there can not be a hardware problem but rather a problem or write permission on the root folder.
And now comes the question: is there a solution to my problem or a way to see if some parts are protected to rewrite or corrupt?
Sorry for my english i use google translate.
Root, TWRP 3.0.2-3
Problem appeared on: SLICK-S427-ROW_by_SHENGE 6.0 rom
Problem:
notification icons on home screen top bar are gone
quick settings/notification pull down menu (the one with wifi, flashlight, airplane, etc.) on home screen cannot be accessed (neither by swiping down nor by using a Nova Launcher widget)
On the lock screen they both work. On a 5.0.2 rom (miui7_v6.5.26) they both work as well.
I have tried options, different launchers, TWRP factory reset, TWRP full wipe, TWRP format data and flashed several other top 6.0 roms - nothing helped. Even a full format and installing a 6.0 rom that I know worked before!
Cheers.
Same problem
I have exactly the same problem. Even the alarm wont go off because for some reason the notifications dont work. The problem happened when I tried to put in a second SIM and since then I can't get to fix it.
my solution
I probably should have posted this long ago, but forgot. Anyway, here's my issue:
it's the additional security PIN.
I have tried multiple unofficial ROMs for my phone. Some of them had the option of setting an additional security PIN (10+ characters) for situations like SIM card change (anti-theft measures built into the ROM). The problem is, when you later change the ROM to one without such an option, it will somehow "remember" (I guess the info is stored on a different partition or something) that it should ask for the security PIN upon changing SIM cards, but the current ROM lacks this functionality. This is why the phone acts so weird.
The solution for me was: flash a ROM that had this security PIN anti-theft option, enter it and disable it completely. Then you should be able to flash and enjoy whatever ROM you want.
Hope it helps.
EDIT: this could possibly also be achieved by installing an anti-theft apk that has this functionality, but I have not tried that.
Which ROM
Do you remember which ROM has the feature? Cause I cant seem to find one.
I don't quite remember, but most likely it was one of the AOSP LEMONADE family, a Lollipop.
Thank you very much sir, my problem finally got solved. For future reference, the ROM I used is this one: http://www.needrom.com/download/aosp-lemonade-v3/ although I' m sure many more will have the same anti-theft option.
