Hi, my P8 Lite 2017 have two problems. I dont know if they are related but i think not.
First the screen does not rotate ever. I have the option on, obviously, but when im in camera or on the galery or any app if i turn the phone, the screen doesn't rotate. I dont know if this is related but it stopped also to count the steps that i do during the day, it says allways 0 steps.
The second problem is with the camera, i cant open it on messenger, the screen stays black and then says theres an error with the camera. After this happend i cant open it with any app because it says that the camera is in use by another app. And if im using the camera app ant change to the front camera, i cant go back to the back camera because it happends the same thing. Just after reboot i can use the camera.
Any suggestions?
Sorry if i make errors writing, im portuguese.
Thanks
Firstly try doing a factory reset, if that doesnt help Boot into eRecovery and restore latest firmware
Thanks, i already have done a factory reset but not a hard reset and the problem didn't go away, now i try one hard reset and the problem is solved.

tried n failed lol last resort is to hard reset which i really dont wish to, lazy to re install
I have the same problem yesterday after tweaking the hide sim contact and activate the burst & sport mode for camera. However, not too sure if the above tweaks was the caused.
Did a hard reset and its back to normal.
I have the same problem since yesterday night onwards. Didn't do any tweak or change of setting. This just happened out of nothing. Anyone can solve the problem? (other than doing a hard reset).

did you happen to install CE Star on the phone?
I did but it was about 3 weeks ago and the phone was ok.
I believe the issue lies with it. If you have not register your copy of CE Star, this might happen. To verify this, uninstall CE Star and see if the problem goes away.
its is CEStar issue. pls register your CEstar.
Registered and solved. Thank you!
Thanks......I have solved mine too......Well done !!
I just started up my phone for the first time and tried to get used to andro since i was using only winmo phonse before. So after a while i remembered that i havent checked up the camera yet... and all i can see is just black screen after starting it up - i get the message Cannot connect to camera. I soft reset it but it still doesnt work. Anyone any idea ? Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: Right - i havent flashed any roms and i havent installed anything on the phone before trying the camera - i found out the camera wasnt working after first charging.
Try a factory wipe. If you still have issues after that, get ahold of HTC/Google and get it replaced.
yeah - seems like its a hardware fault. Wiped everything off, and set to factory settings, camera still not working even after fiddling with sd card.
I suppose i got a new phone with a faulty cam then.
Hello all,
My incredible s freezes, I would then need to press the power button (to put screen into sleep) and then wake it up then it's good again (not restarting).
Any idea whats this all about?
Did someone else have the same problem? what should i do next, how can i find out if its software problem or hw?
thank you all for the help
PS: i tried soft reset and hard reset, nothing helped, could it be that i need to change the touch screen DIGITIZER?
PS2: i was searching how to do a factory reset....
From the main home screen, tap menu
Tap Settings, then Privacy
Tap Factory data reset
Tap Reset phone
Enter your password if required, then tap Erase everything to confirm
in my Privacy menu i dont have Factory data reset, whats wrong with this phone? i just did upgrade, using Adroid 2.3.3, Sense 2.1, SW no 2.30.405.1
found out that the factory reset thing is in SD & phone storage menu
i did a factory reset but its still happening
help please
maybe a new display would fix this?
what else could i try before i spend money on this issue?
HBOOT: 1.13
RADIO-3805.06.03.03
Android 2.3.3 official ROM
should i try to S-off it and install a custom ROM?
im afraid that it might freeze and break

Is it under warranty?
If so I'd bring it back, if not i'd go the custom ROM route.
The fact that you can turn it off/on again and the issue is fixed makes me think it is software related.
I agree with scoobysnacks, i would do the same
most probably software related. i normally use "keyboard from android 2.3" app from the market, back in those sense 3.0 days it worked brilliantly but when i flashed any sense 3.5 roms, the a and k keys become not very responsive. the result?
my texts turn into something li(k)e this. no (a)'s and no (k)'s.
in the end i changed to go keyboard and everything works well again
thank you guys for the advice
as i sad before i hard-reset the device, and the problem is still there, even more i noticed that in some cases the upper part of the display gets numb, doesn't respond to the touch/finger ... again after i turn off the display and back on it works... also when i write texts (horizontal aligned) the left part of the keys aren't working or it just pushes the wrong ones.... i tried to do the calibration thing, but no change
i installed go keyboard and no change,
i just cant write 'w', when i touch the W in the go-keyboard it will write E or Q
whats wrong whit it?
i did S-OFF, and rooted the IS, now ill have to find a quick/light ROM to run on it
any suggestions? for a stable/ light and quick ROM?
ill do this test and if still nothing works ill changed the display, right? any other suggestions?
i did it, i flashed a custom ROM, Android Revolution HD
problem still exists
some more details:
when i keep it in landscape position, and try to write a message
the keys: w d x , are not responding, so every time i try to touch them, a neighbor key activated
any other solutions? before i go and order a new touch screen digitizer?
please, any other solutions? before i go and order a new touch screen digitizer?

Wondering what will you get if you use swype keyboard..
perhaps touch screen digitizer really need a change then if all not working.
I've got the same issue. The freeezing happens in all screens, and requires the power button to be returned to operational state. This is on a stock IS 2.3.3 ROM.
next i will try S-off, rooting and custom ROM, and see what happens. I can't see how this would be a hardware (digitizer) issue as it comes and goes. Is a little frustrating, and since I bought it used, I have no warranty.
Same issue here too i thought i was alone with that issue, posted in trinity forum.
I'm getting some random lock-ups even sensitive buttons and touchscreen don't respond, It goes away going to sleep and going back, it's so frustrating while web browsing for example
Am I Alone with that issue, or this is sign my CPU is dying?

Let's fight together with that problem
Well, completely wiped and installed a new ROM, still the same freezing issue. I've oredered a new digitizer, so we'll see if that works.
New digitizer didn't work either. Gonna try a new kernal, after that, I give up!!
Hi amigo, I face the same problem, maybe this rom is not very stable.
Tried a different Kernel, and still the same issue. I've tried everything I can think of and this phone still seems to randomly lock-up.
Hello to you all,
I've looked and couldn't find a similar thing happen to anyone else!
So, I have a X8 with locked bootloader and stock Ginger DX 29, and although it used to work fine, I now am experiencing this problem with my camera.
Basically, the camera button isn't recognized to launch the app from the homescreen for a start, and then if I do open it from the app drawer, I can see the image fine, but nothing works (accessing the settings, changing from camera to video, taking a picture, etc) and after a few second I get a Close app/Wait kind of dialogue and I'm back to square one.
this is annoying because I tried pushing older camera.apks that I knew worked with no problem, no change. I tried doing a factory reset, no luck, flashing gdx again from scratch (didn't try the SEUS reset because it's a pain to root again and all that, and gdx used to work fine) I've also checked that it wasn't a hardware problem by mapping the camera button to an action in snesoid and it worked fine.
I don't really know what to do from that point! I was thinking maybe it's got to do with my image folder on the sd card, or something like that since it's the only thing that stays there throughout the wipes? Anyone knows what could be at fault? It's annoying not able to use the camera!
Thank you in advance.
Re: [Q] Weird camera problem, any ideas?
Settings ,applications,manage applications,find camera.apk and wipe cache and data.
If it doesnt help,try to download a camera app from play store and see if it works.
so, wiping the data didn't work, however I did two things : download a third party app and renamed my DCIM folder to another name, and one of them worked!
I'm suspecting the second one because as I tried my original app again, everything worked as well...
It must have been write protected for some reason, and that's why my camera app would be stuck at the begining I guess...
I'll try to copy my files back in the new folder that was created and see if it happens again.
Thank you!
Re: [Q] Weird camera problem, any ideas?

All done!
I'm still not able to use the camera button when on my home screen but I'm guessing it's a rom issue, as I don't remember how it behaved before...

i'vw never really experienced that before... so i can't help. just a suggestion though, have you tried using a different sdcard? if it still persists, maybe you're right and it's a rom issue.
