Stock camera problems - Nokia 8 Questions & Answers

Hello guys
I have a Nokia 8(TA-1004) phone with some problems. I'm running Android 9 security patch 1 may 2019. I've disable since 5 months ago stock camera because i used multiple version of Google camera. When i enable now the stock camera it does not work.
I have to mention that with Google camera i have somethimes a huge lag before starting the app. I made 2 time hard reset but the problems are still there.
Another problem it's with bluetooth, when i activate the bluetooth the phone it's closing the display
Do you have any solution for my problems?
Regards
Alin

[Q] Can't connect to camera

Hi, I couldn't find anything about this problem in google, I think it's most likely a hardware failure, but I'd love some suggestions.
A couple of weeks ago the camera app started hanging randomly. I downloaded the Google camera and when it happens it says it cannot connect to the camera, it doesn't happen all the time, just when I really want to take a picture (curse you Murphy!)
I'm on 4.4.3, and the phone is from October or so, so I can't rma it.

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.

camera freeze after Oreo 8.1 update

Since the last update my Nokia 8 camera freeze and sometimes I error , any one have an idea to go back to 8.0 or resolve this problem
Try resetting the camera app and clearing the cache. Helps sometimes.
I felt my camera improved with the 8.1 update
I experienced the same, but installed cstark27's gcam, which has proven more stable and even taken better pictures.
Having the same problem with the camera. Freezes sometimes...
I think that now the Nokia 8 Sirocco has been launched we will see an updated camera app on Google Play for the Nokia 8 pretty soon.

Portrait mode can only focus on the middle of the frame

Hi guys, according to my old thread; https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/help/lots-issues-updated-to-android-9-pie-mi-t3881173
Since I updated my A2 to Android 9.0 Pie, I found that its portrait mode seems close to be useless.
It only focuses on the subject which is located on the middle of the frame, I cannot tap anywhere else in the frame to focus. In addition, locking focus doesn't help at all.
This issue has been appearing since the first Pie update, and is not fixed til now. I send my feedback to Mi every single update patch, but seems all my feedbacks are completely useless.
Any other modes work fine, both camera performs perfectly. There's only the mentioned issue in portrait mode.
Please note that I already tried factory reset, but it doesn't help fix the issue. Moreover, I found that many users also face this issue, so I am extremely sure that there's not only me.
Since the issue has never been fixed, so I wonder if you guys have any good suggestions to fix the issue, or any ideas how to force Mi to fix this big bug for us?

main camera blurr

Hi,
After the first 2020 ota update the camera started to get blurred and now is completely useless.
So i looked at the changelog and the update "fixed" something related to QRcode reading. So they must have messed something up.
Anyone knows anything about it?
Model: ZE620KL 128gb rom, updated to latest firmware, rooted with magisk and with twrp.
Thanks.
Additionally, wide camera works fine so far. But still it is strange that sometimes the main camera works and right after few minutes it gets all blurr again.
Hello, I have the same problem. It looks like the update killed a part of the camera. Your OIS is broken now. You can either replace your camera (around $10) or, as I did it, you can try to tap on the camera module. It may fix it temporary. A little bump could also work.
I am having a similar issue. Autofocus works fine for images close to the camera. Seems to be related to the QR code update mentioned by @Gyplay.
My phone has been serviced 3 times during warranty (free). It just died 20 days after receiving it. Then, around its 4th month of life it stopped holding charge. Around it's 10th month it just died again. No falls, not a single scratch and no liquid spills...
Now I have been living with this issue with the camera for almost a year...
Never had issues with any of my previous phones...
Perhaps I was unlucky, but will never buy an asus phone again.
