Hi,
I'm hoping someone out there can maybe help me with this please?
I have an Honor 9 Lite (LLD-L31C432) & recently the camera & flashlight stopped working. I've tried a number of other camera apps (the P20 ported camera, various google cams etc) but none work - all either open to a black screen & shut down immediately or else just say the app has crashed, etc.
The phone is bootloader unlocked and was on stock rom (LLD-GRP2-OVS-9.1.0.121). A few months ago I switched to Openkirin's Resurrection Remix OS 7.0.1 Beta 1 ROM & all worked ok (I had the stock camera, a Google Cam version and the P20 camera all working), but due to bluetooth problems I tried the Openkirin AOSP 10 Preview 1 ROM. Had a few problems with this one so tried to return to the stock ROM and had a lot of trouble getting it working again (bootloops, etc).
Eventually got the stock firmware back on but then noticed that the camera & flash no longer worked. Since then I've returned to both the Resurrection Remix ROM and the AOSP 10 Preview 1 (& Preview 2) ROMs but the problem still remains. Is it possible that I've broken the camera when fastboot flashing or using TWRP? I 'went around in circles' so much whilst trying to get back to stock that I can't remember ever step I tried, but it would seem a bit of a coincidence if the hardware failed just around the time of me having issues returning to stock ROM.
Also, If I was to relock the bootloader is it possible to tell that it has been unlocked in the past? It was purchased May 2018 so would still be in the 2yr warranty period but I wondered if Huawei could tell it had been unlocked in the past (I also read somewhere that the warranty is invalidated just by registering to get an unlock code, even if you never actually used it? - not sure how true this is!)
Cheers!

Wassup, I have a small problem, rather a big one.
I'm still stuck at NEM-L21C43B131 update, Emui 4.2.1, which is from 1 december 2016 I've read that I should have gotten nougat but I cannot recieve any updates, I've tried using HiSuite, Firmware finder on both PC and on the Phone, Proxy, DNS, and regular dload method. NONE HAVE WORKED.
I even contacted the huawei support and they said there are tons of firmware updates and I should have gotten them and they will maybe send out an firmware to me. (Not gotten it so dead end there)
I tried unlocking the bootloader, installed twrp to get a custom ROM, LineageOS 14.1 doesn't want to install due to Error 7, I tried to install Elite TWRP but the phone don't want to boot into it, so I tried using regular TWRP to install Elite ROM, it does install but doesn't exist which makes no sense whatsoever.
TWRP 3.1.1.0 is the only one that works, the rest just doesn't work.
I have even tried using Meticulus LineageOS for EMUI 4.X, but either I get encrypted password on it or error 7.
So I don't know what to do at this point, I heard android 7 fixes alot of bugs like RAM usage for honor 5C, and thats all I care about since the phone keeps crashing due to an app or freezing all togheter for 15-20 minutes and then reboots. (OR REALLY SUPER SLOW)
Factory resetted the phone about 30 times at this point.
If anyone got an idea I'm open to ears and eyes :good:
Thanks!
I'll try to keep this as brief as possible. Yesterday I flashed LineageOS 16 + GAPPS on my MI 8 which at that time was running MIUI 10 Global without any issues. However, after flashing Lineage my camera started acting up even though everything else worked like a charm. Everytime I tried to open my camera app, I would get a message saying "The camera device encountered a fatal error" which I could report or dismiss. Both resulted in the app crashing to my home screen after which I repeated this process 3 times, but the problem remained. Someone mentioned that the GCAM app that I was running was designed for Pixel phones and wouldn't work. I used TWRP to delete CameraGoogleLegacy which worked. I then installed a camera app but again the camera would give a black image (front and back). I then repeated this process, but I tried installing the Pixel Experience ROM this time instead of Lineage. Again everything worked flawlessly, except the camera.
Then someone asked if I flashed the correct global firmware & vendor before flashing Lineage. I wasn't too sure, so I decided to flash MIUI 10 global 10.2.3.0 again. Much to my surprise, the stock Xiaomi camera app now doesn't work anymore either, nor does the Gcam port I was just using yesterday on the same ROM.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
so i have att unlocked razer phone 2 and have camera issue ( when you start camera app screen is black for about 40seconds and then camera starts but autofocus is not working, back camera functions normal) and most annoying sometimes while in call people cant hear me well. on roms site theres only 2 roms for att. 8.1 and 9. tried 8.1 and stuck on powered by android screen. then installed 9 and it worked but my issues still there...

Never needed to downgrade honestly.
Hi all,
Xiaomi Mi11 running the latest software and having accelerometer issues.
The phone thinks it's upright when my phone is on its side (landscape) so when the phone is upright my apps want to rotate.
I've tried CIT and calibration but it's not helped. is this a known issue?
I had no issues until I tried out pixel experience ROM, didn't like it so flashed the original ROM back on. I've tried several different versions of the stock ROM and still had issues.
Additional note. I got the correct stock ROM from the Xiaomi website and flashed it using their tool using full clean and flash m
After updating to MIUI 13, I randomly have freezing issue (when scrolling tiktok, playing game, watching youtube, etc.) which sometimes fixes if I wait and the system shows notification of "The *app* stopped working" or something, and many other times I can only force reboot the phone (by holding the power botton until it reboots).
The issue never occured on MIUI 12, only on MIUI 13 from the first version untill now. So overtime I downgrade the ROM or change it to other variants such as global version (the issue also occurs in other country's variants of MIUI 13), hoping that the bug is fixed everytime there is a newer version of MIUI 13 of Indonesia but it's never been fixed.
I report many times through the feedback and service but they only suggest to keep the RAM and memory managed, and to charge the phone in time, which don't solve the issue since I have plenty of internal memory space available and use the phone the same when I'm on MIUI 12 (also how the hell do I charge it in time?!).
Does anyone have this issue as well? And how do you fix it other than to downgrade or to change to custom ROMs? Is it better to wait till MIUI 14 comes out than to downgrade it again? Sorry for my bad English.
i have the same issue though, I'm still hoping an update for this kinda issue because it's really annoying. I'm not sure for install custom rom will fix it, or it does.
I ever thought that downgrade is the only way to do, because when I use miui 12 I didn't get any of bugs and issues.

MIUI 13.0.8 just came out a few days ago for my region, but I won't upgrade it at least until MIUI 14 comes out.
Installing custom rom does fix it. I tried Pixel Experience once and never got the bug, but I didn't quite like the overall appereance so I decided to just downgrade it again to MIUI 12.5.5.
Yes. I have had this EXACT same issue, too. factory reset did not resolve. Redmi Note 9 Phone is all but useless now. Can use for a few minutes at a time, before it freezes. Miui 14 should be around the corner now, but I'm not hopeful.

MIUI 14 also does not resolve the issue for me, so downgrading is the only solution (not even MIUI 13 and 14 based custom rom fix it). But some people from RN10pro forum got it fixed after a few updates. Here are some suggestion I got from there:
1. Check if your SD card is dead, simply replace it or take it out.
2. Change your system to light mode.
3. Disable the memory extension.
Some people got it fixed after doing one of the above suggestions but not for me.
