Hi there,
I started experiencing a weird issue with my camera after installing March 2020 update yesterday. When I try opening the camera app (including the google cam as well) it just "keeps stopping". Also the flashlight is no longer available - it is greyed out and cannot be clicked. My phone is stock, not rooted, not modified.
Has anyone experienced the same issue?
Any ideas on how to resolve it are appreciated!
If you have updated from 9 to 10 without factory reset, I'm afraid you'll experience more glitches.

Hello, I do have a problem with my front camera. When trying to switch to the front camera within any camera app, the app freezes. I do not know when the problem started, but I noticed first on OOS 4.1.3. At first I thought it had to do with the custom kernel or some Magix mods. Because of that, I clean installed OOS 4.1.6 and only installed Magix (no mods, no kernel). The problem is still there. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Or is it a hardware issue and I should send the phone to repair?
My specs in short:
OnePlus 3t (64gb Rom)
OOS 4.1.6
Magix v12
Stock kernel
Thank you in advance
At first, try just to clear app data for camera app/gallery app and see if that helps. Else you should do a factory restore of phone to see if problem still persist, in that case it's probably hardware fault.

Thank you for the answer, I tried to use different camera apps (stock app, opencamera, snapdragon camera), they all crashed when trying to use the front camera.
I already did a factory reset when clean installing the newest OOS.
I really hope, this isn't a hardware fault. The "Phone tester" app shows the camera features as it should.
Could there be a problem with TWRP flashing the roms making a mistake? TWRP didn't show an error through. I am on TWRP 3.1.0-1
There could be something wrong in the persistent partition causing this, reflashing factory persist.img to partition might fix it (easy way is to use qualcomm restore method which restores everything).
Thank you, I will try it next weekend, when I am back home ?
I've recently upgraded to pie and my face unlock nolnger recognise my face tried deleting and re adding whipping system cache all of which don't seem to have resolved the issue. Anyone else having this issue? Or know how to resolve?

It's that the only way to resolve? Be a right pain installing all my apps etc.
I got my K20 pro on 15th running on MIUI v10.3.5.0(PFKCNXM). Installed google stuff & all & it was running fine but after 2 days,from 17th it started random freezing & rebooting. It's really frustrating. Is it just software problem or hardware?
Same here, so i'm guessing it's software issues
Factory reset
Try factory reset, if the problem, continues then maybe it's time to claim warranty.

Is this the China version (PFKCNXM)?
The one sold in India is PFKINXM
Firmware 10.3.16 fixed everything (no NFC)
All my problem with the phone got fixed with chinless Firmware 10.3.16 well everything but NFC(i think they sent me a version without nfc capabilities)

Could you explain in detail how you fixed your phone? My phone still freezes a lot after installing FDE.AI module and i can't seem to get it to work properly without freezing
Did you guys get a factory sealed CN rom version? Mine is 10.3.15 and is running fine (updated OTA last week, its a CN stable version)

How do we get that?
Do you mean how can you get a factory sealed version, or the OTA update?
I wrote about my buying experience here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79918346&postcount=68
About the OTA update, it was automatic on my official stable CN rom (i didnt choose the "fake" Global Rom beta from the Chinese stores)

2.boot into recovery immediately
3. wipe cache + dalvik art
3. then format
4.reboot to recovery (if you get the chinese recovery just re-Install TWRP Recovery For Redmi K20 Pro}
5. mount the phone and connect to PC
6.Transfer the rom 10.3.16 eu
7.install 10.3.16 eu (https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/redmi-k20-pro-firmware-10-3-8-0-9-6-13-t3939647)

1) Go to settings --> apps --> Manage apps --> click on Action ( three dots right side) and then reset app preferences.
2) Search for recently installed apps from the same menu (manage apps) and then clear the cache.
3) Reboot the once above steps have completed, It will resolve the issue.

I downloaded the latest Urnyx Gcam build. I am currently on LineageOS 17.1
I went to take a selfie video. The app froze and the front pop-up camera refuses to close itself.
- I used the stock camera app to bring down the front camera, it doesn't work.
- Restarted the phone couple of times
- Factory reset
- Change ROMs
- Used the motor.apk to manually bring down the camera, doesn't work too. It says "camera alread retracted" Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4930537&d=1579448949
I already tried flashing an AOSP based ROM, still didnt work.
- Dropping down the phone to my bed, doesn't work
Please I am in need of help. I can't put my phone on the pocket.
Not sure if it helps, I had the same issue on lineage yesterday and for some reason this app was able to retract it.

Thanks for the reply. I am on Lineage when this happened too.
That app you sent me didn't work tho.
Fixed the issue by formatting data and flashed back to EU ROM MIUI 12.0.3.0
Hi, I'm on latest Android 11 beta, my Google camera app sudden stop working and won't open again since then, my flash light grey out as well and i tried every method (clean cache, factory reset, safe mode) but nothing fix it.

Could be a hardware issue. I know you said you tried everything but did you try another camera app? Fastboot flash back to 10? Don't dirty flash, let it wipe data. If it persists afterwards and the other camera app did the same thing, you may want to explore any warranty you may have.

I try others camera apps and all just allow me to use front camera instead of rear camera, might try to flash back to 10, will see how it goes... I don't think its a hardware issue cause all of sudden i saw lot people comment on playstore review regarding this issue
