I've had fairly mediocre success with the camera/camcorder app so far. they're terribly slow to open, the camera app sometimes has a hard time focusing and the camcorder app is continuously refocusing while recording to the point that it looks like the focus drops and then it needs to start over. i've confirmed these issues on my wife's phone, so i know they're not related to just my device.
yesterday, while trying to use the camera app, a black screen appeared with text (almost like a command screen) with "BP Core Dump" or something similar.
the only related thread i've seen where this has occurred was directly related to cyanogen's ROMs, to which i've never used.

I've also seen a BP Core Dump, I was using a charger for another phone and it didn't fit snugly. It also said "Trying to activate USB" and eventually rebooted. All this happened on the lockscreen after waking it up.
here's holding out hope for an update soon. love this phone, the hardware is solid. i think moto rushed 2.3.4, though.

So after the core dump, I decided to reset my phone and last night, the camera app locked up and rebooted the phone. Today I called tech support and they're sending me a new one. I've read the backorder threads, so it'll be interesting to see when it arrives.
I've looked into this bug a bit more and narrowed it down to /system/bin/mdm_panicd which runs as root. Most likely a bootloader crash.
This is some of the output found in 'strings' for the file , it is what I saw in the "terminal" before it reset.
Code:
BP paniced
Into BP core dump mode
Trying to open USB ...
Also a line "/dev/graphics/fb0" which is what likely created the terminal.
It writes a log to /sdcard/coredump… this may have been on my device which was deleted if I remember correctly.
There was also another thread at droidforums about this. androidforums.com/motorola-droid-3/387878-my-d3-crashed-bp-paniced-error.html
Looking around it looks like there are two bugs for cyanogenmod4milestone opened last year related to this. It was eventually fixed. So this probably can happen on similar Moto devices.
code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/issues/detail?id=22
code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/issues/detail?id=27
The process has something to do with the modem. Through there's not much info beyond the source code and these trackers. There is a prop in build.prop just after the ril related entries.
persist.mot.mdm_panicd.nopanic=no to allow the dump
I have since had a replacement unrelated to this issue. I've tried a few things mentioned in the above trackers, but cannot reproduce it.
I've attached the strings output for reference, don't know where to go with this but thought I should throw it there.
wow, nice find. all i found was the cyanogenmod stuff

Xperia X Performance (F8132) Accelerometer failure & Screen Auto-rotate irresponsive
Hi All,
I got an issue bothering me since I bought Xperia X Perfomance (F8132) Mid June.
The auto rotate function failed after a while but everything goes fine after reboot.
When it fails, I use "Xperia Service Menu" -> "Service Tests" -> "Accelerometer",
then all X,Y,Z are zero and the ball just sticks and freezes at mid.
I bought from Taiwan and I can find 15 more people having the same symptom with me on 2 forums
( http://mobile01.com and http://gamer.com.tw ).
Hence I don't think it's only me and it's a common issue or common yield problem for Xperia X Perfomance.
I post here because I'd like to find more people with the same issue and raise the attention of SONY in order to find the root cause (i guess it's either over-heat causes this or accelerometer yield issue) and give a patch.
Now I'm using a APP "Rotation Control" to workaround this, but all photos cannot records correct orientation data and no auto-rotate is kinda inconvenient.
For a flag-ship and high-priced cellphone for SONY this year, it is very disappointing to me. :crying:
Version: 35.0.A.1.227 and 35.0.A.1.238 both occur

I also have that problem. No more auto-rotation after a while (1-2 days) . Only a reboot fixes that

Thank you for letting us know.
It shows it's not a regional FW issue but a global HW or FW one.
I wonder if SONY knowing this. If not, we need to address this and push SONY to work it around.
And if it is not workaroundable, SONY will have a big problem.
I have the same issue on my Xperia X (F5121) bought in Sweden. Haven't checked the accelerometer but the behaviour is the same and reboot is only fix.
I have not had any problems with auto rotation, my accelerometer works fine but my touch screen is messed up

Can you specify "messed up"? I've had issues with the touch screen also, mostly that it registers a tap while I'm scrolling resulting in involuntary tapping on links. Also it often takes a while to start scrolling, as if the screen has a hard time recognising the swipe.
I have the same problem. The accelerometer stop working 15 minutes after reboot.
Help me verify if is caused by a third party app or not.
Use your phone in safe mode for a while.
I'm from Hong Kong, the accelerometer and its auto-rotation of my x performance has the same problem that it won't work until i reboot my phone.
I dont think that is caused by a app crashing when the problems occuring in all around the world.
The issue didnt come to me when I was not yet update to 35.0.A.1.282. Please notice this problem SONY. It seriously affected the satisfaction from user of the phone from your brand.
There is a topic on the Sony support forum - see here: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-X-Performance/Accelerometer-stops-working/m-p/1158490#U1158490
At least they are aware of the problem. As soon as it happens again on my phone, I will send them my logs. I will report any development...
It seems that I uninstall the AR effects in my phone and reboot, it works again
Rotation fails
Hello guys,
I have the same problem. Yesterday it worked fine, but today, the auto rotate don't work. Very disappointing. Only a reboot can help but not every time.
Sony has to do something with it.
Gyroscope/Auto-Rotation Issue
Hey everyone,
I'm also having this same issue, but only since the most recent update from late September. When trying to make a pic display as fullscreen by rotating the phone, nothing happens, unless I reboot the phone. Then within day or two, it starts happening again. When I go to camera it loads up and STAYS in landscape mode, no matter what I do, even closing it out and clearing out the cache & force stopping it then reactivating it. It seems like a software issue that Sony needs to address PRONTO!
It appears another thread here on XDA is dealing with the same issue. I tried shenlong85's idea and it seems to have fixed the issue, but I need another day or so to make sure. If you don't hear from me by Sunday (10/23), assume it's been fixed. Hopefully the Nougat update we're all about to get any day now will permanently fix it!
The memory uninstall updates only prolong the issues. Seems like the firmware issue earlier on.
Nougat... When are u coming?

Well, we'll see. I am giving my XP 'til Sunday........if no more auto-rotate issues by then, then I will consider your idea to be gold. lol Of course, once we get Nougat, I'm hoping it will ensure that the issue never comes back period. As of this time, the issue has NOT returned.
I bought my Xperia X Performance from Kogan who sells imports in Australia from Asia and I have the exact same issues with my orientation and touchscreen. However my jumpy touchscreen only seems to occur while charging.

I tried shenlong85's idea, but less than 24 hours after trying it, I switched my phone from Portrait to Landscape to view a 16:9 widescreen pic I had in my Album, and it WOULD not auto-rotate the pic. So unfortunately this "trick" doesn't work either.
Just have to hope Sony includes a fix with the Nougat update we're about to get any day now from them.
I'm noticing now too that once the Auto-Rotate function stops working, so does Smart Call Handling. Have to swipe screen once again to take calls. Hurry up Nougat!! lol
I'm having the same issue and the only help I'm getting from Sony support is to factory reset my device :\ I'm hoping Nougat makes it's way to our devices soon. I really like this phone and this is a pretty big issue to have.

I agree Spencer. And yes Sony Mobile told me the same thing. I'll do a repair (which yes, includes a factory reset) only IF Nougat doesn't fix it. They say we're getting it "in or close to October", so I'm guessing it's gotta be coming any day now. Hopefully they include a fix with Nougat though and I don't have to do that. Getting tired of this BS with Sony. My Z3 had an issue where if I turned on Stamina Mode, it would 1) mess with my MMS (group/pic/video) text messages.........you don't know how many times I had to ask ppl to resend those to me and how much that sucked lol 2) Cause a "random" battery drain. Only fix was a factory reset. I FINALLY got wise and realized it was SM and kept it off. Found a great app called 360 Hibernation Master that did what SM was supposed to do but better, MINUS the buggy BS. But OF COURSE it doesn't work on any X series phone (at least not my XP), so I'm stuck with SM now. At least Sony Mobile FINALLY fixed that bug with SM so that's not an issue anymore. lol
It is a big issue, and it makes me not want to keep buying their phones.
So this randomly started happening the other day, whenever I try and open my camera through any method, double tap power, use the app, from the lockscreen etc... it loads than says "Warning: Camera Failed" and there' an OK button that exit's the app. I've tried everything I've found online, factory reset twice, wiped cache partition, and safe mode. It also doesn't work with other camera apps. Another thing I've noticed is that the flashlight is highlighted with a light blue in quick settings but you can't turn it off or on, same with NFC. I didn't drop it or anything, I also bought it used and when I got on Samsung support the person said that they couldn't find the IMEI in their system so it's probably not available for service. Any suggestions? The only idea that I have left is that one of the third party camera apps that I downloaded said something about the camera being in use by another application, any possibility this is actually correct and I can find out what's using it? Other than that I really have no ideas
Did you dropped your phone? There's a possibility that the camera cable got disconnected form the mainboard
try the camera without your sd card. I had same issue on s7, caused by faulty sd card

I didn't drop it but I'm thinking this might be the case somehow as much as I don't want to admit it. Samsung support (however useless they were) were pretty adamant that it was a software issue.
This is becoming a widespread issue:
https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...lfie-camera-on-Note-8-not-working/td-p/208206
This may have been caused by the CRHA update that added AR Emoji and Super Slow-mo:

1.*#34971539# Do you get a menu? and is the phone to cam FW Write greyed out?
2.*#0*# Mega cam test works fine?
This issue is so strange, I have note 8 with same problem when phone is on full Stock Rom even *#0*# cam test fails reads 0 cam. However when I installed Combination Rom (Factory Binary) The camera/flash works fine in the *#0*# and even in more extensive testing menus(Its stock in combination ROM or you can use Info phone Sam app), But I don't know how to flash FW for cameras , since the options are greyed out , I believe I have to place camera FW files (get them from system image?) in a certain folder in root directory(using root explorer) then initiating *#34971539# to enable Phone ---> Cam write, anyone who had this done successfully or experimenting too, your input is appreciated.
Note: When I flash stock rom back, the same problem occurs.
I don't know what kind of developers HMD hires but, the software is half baked and not optimized properly.
Am I too late in saying that they should atleast provide bootloader unlock, so that we can have a better and more optimized software.
Blast Sarvikas, HMD and Nokia Mobiles on twitter and ask them either to optimize the software or provide bootloader unlock.
Problems right now:
1. Try locking phone using hardware button on an app with white screen, you will see a reddush hue when the screen turns off.
2. Very bad animation and laggy animations. App switching by double tapping recents used to be a breeze but now it's laggy af and sometimes doesn't even works.
3. Incompatibility with a lot of apps even after those apps are optimized for Android 9; Sound indictor sticks on the screen for more than one minute, phone heats a lot, battery draining, etc. One such app, that cause these problem is Lastpass.
4. Fingerprint problem; sometimes it doesn't works or is too late.
I agree with 1,2 and 4.
I have no such problems.

No issues like that on mine either.
I did not have such problems with my Nokia 7 plus. Everything is snappy and works very fast.
The only thing I noticed was crazy switching of the adaptive brightness and notifications that do not fit well the text.
Some of them are addressed in the November patch.
Coming from a phone that would never get a security update, I think this phone is heaven.
After just having received the Android Pie 9.0 update yesterday, I still have the same issues as since I bought this phone:
Being that after a restart the phone is unusable, as it starts doing whatever it wants, as if there were shadow presses and swipes on the display.
These totally random, involuntary movements, as if I were touching the screen, even though I don't. Those occur so fast that I can only stop it (for a limited time) by pressing the power button (turning off the display and all actions), are totally not something I have ever experienced on another phone before, not even with OnePlus.
I took my case off just in case this would cause pressure on the phone, but it still happens without the case. I propped the phone up so that I definitely don't touch or cover any sensors, but it still happens.
It seems some internal sensor is broken, as this issue still persists after updating to Android 9.0. Unless this might be related to the Nova launcher?
Unfortunately I don't see a way of recording this issue without compromising my personal information, so I can only describe it.
I hope I can resolve this through a device swap through my carrier, but I doubt it. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Is there a third-party one-button lock screen app installed on your phone? There may be conflicts.

No, there is no necessity for this.
In the fact issue occurs also in Safe Mode as well as after cleaning the system cache (wiped through the menu which is available for soft reset / wiping all data).
The issue got only more and more severe this week and sometimes temporarily froze the screen / inputs and did lead to error messages on the camera app, making it impossible to take photos temporarily.
Huawei referred me to a local repair shop and I will hand in the phone for repair by early next week, once I have organised a replacement phone.
