I had this issue with my Nexus 5, and after restart my camera works fine, but after some time I have popup Can't connect to camera again. After some searching for solution, I found (In AppOps) that Viber is using camera in the background and not allowing Google Camera app to connect to camera. I disabled (In AppOps) Viber permission to use camera, and my problem is gone! Sorry for my english
Thx, I'll give it a try
Hey all,
Since I've installed the latest version of XtreStroLite, I don't know if it is linked or not but now when I start the Camera I have some issue sometimes with the focus and the camera keeps trying to focus continiusly so it makes a lot of noise and the camera is unusable! I have to kill the task and start it again and sometimes after 3-4 tries it works.
Since then I've installed Axis 2 and installed Adam kernel. This issue seems to be fixed but sometimes here and there I still got this issue. (Maybe once every day)
Any idea? Is it linked to the custom firmware or hardware issues?
Hello
When I star the camera it makes some noise. Like moving parts on a normal camera . A rather worring noise.
If I have the camera app open and if I tap near the camera lens the noise reproduces .
I have all normal no root nothing . Done several resets.
If u have anu news please tell me
Sorry for English.

Everything is working fine now but I used to have some issues for sure, the noise was lasting forever until I close the camera
This problem occured to me about a week ago when i upgraded my phone to android 6.0.1 . At first the camera was working fine but the about 3-4 days ago the rear camera stoped to function. The front camera is working perfect but rear one won't start at all. The interface of the camera is working and i can choose the resolution of camera and such options but the screen is black and when i want to see the photo it shows it as a broken format. If anyone has had similar problem please help.
it happened me, too. a restart solved the problem

I have already restarted it, I even did factory reset but it had no effect at all.
Hi all,
I got my XZ today, F8332 type, I dont seem to have the option to record in 4k?
Only Full HD 30fps and Full HD 60fps...
Is there something I have to do to enable it ?
i have tried with the stock camera app and Google Camera app.
Thanks..
In the camera, swipe right until you find the camera apps, 4k recording should be there. If not just click on the '+' and add it.

When recording in 4K try to turn off everything (GPS, Wifi, data connection, etc).. put a bag with ice on the side and it will work.
Or close first all the recent apps, turn off mobile data, bluetooth, GPS, sync, put it in airplane mode before recording a video. Remember that environment temperature or climate can be a contributing factor too especially if it's sunny and you're recording under the sun.
Those of you who think you solved the problem by "doing a clean flash" feel free to show yourself out, you're not helping us we've already done that. Some of us several times.
OnePlus forums are broken for me, I can't register, it keeps just sending me back to the OP home page. Several people have the same problem there. So this is the last hope for those of us with pie camera issues, I don't know that OP has acknowledged camera issues so if we want any help, the best thing we can do is work together, make some noise, so OP can actually see the problem. Personally, no amount of reflashing, downloading, etc will fix the issue on pie for me. I'm rooted with Magisk and unlocked bootloader obviously, that's it. No kernels or custom "ROM" or anything.
Again, if you've solved it, good for you, get out. You have nothing to contribute to this thread and I know this forum is absolutely loaded with trolls who just blame everyone else for every ROM problem.

Yep, my friend also works in testing firmware and hardware compatibility on android phones and as soon as I told him more than just a few people (I've seen at least 15 different people report this issue, and let's be honest a lot of people won't bother to report it and even more people don't have accounts here to post it if they do have the issue) had it he said sounds like firmware issue, possibly related to hardware revisions.
Boring explanation warning: For example there may be very slight differences in say CPU or camera hardware, enough that it passed bench testing or was supposed to not even require bench testing because it was guaranteed 100% compatible, but as time goes on, maybe just one line of code somewhere does something that causes the very slight difference to manifest itself in a way that becomes apparent to everyday users.
That's just one possibility out of dozens though.
I agree in 100%, it's something broken with camera on Oxygen based on Pie.
I use the stock ROM, i did full wipe etc without positive effects.
We wan't fix or update to use the phone normally...
What is the Camera issue ?
Maybe if you are specific and tell us what is wrong with the Camera ?
How can anybody help if you can not be bothered to say what the problem is ?
.... Do not have kittens, I done a Google search and all I found was several months ago some talk about focusing.
I took some pictures ... not many but so far so good.
I would be more than happy to complain .... what do I look for ?

For example: Snapchat app. After 5s app frozen, black screen. On other phones everything ok...
Oneplus 6 & Tapatalk
For me, when I open snapchat, the camera will usually work for 5 to 20 seconds, no more, then the image freezes for a second before it goes black, and then every app that uses the camera for a little while will freeze/crash. Including the stock camera app if you try to access camera features in those apps.
Say I just turned on my phone, I go to open snapchat and the screen works as a viewfinder like normal for maybe 5-20 seconds, then the image freezes for a second before it goes black. The snapchat app no longer responds. If I try to open the camera in another app (say discord, stock camera app, instagram, etc) that app then freezes too. Half the time the only way to fix it is to force close all involved apps.
It goes back to working again within 5-10 minutes but you only have generally 5-10 seconds to take a picture before it freezes and does the same thing.
Occasionally when I open the stock camera app after snapchat freezes, it closes itself and a little toast notification on the bottom of the screen says "Unknown error". Usually camera app opens fine after that.
I think this tread explains very well and in detail, the REAL problems with OP6...
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/oneplus-6-camera-takes-blurry-and-noisy-pictures.864226/
Painted faces, lack of detail, wrong temperature colour....etc,etc....
I am also experiencing these issues since i upadated to official Pie, didn't have any problem with DP1 & DP3 thought. Also i only have this on Snapchat, didn't experience any problems with the official camera.
Let's hope it's a known issue and that it will be solved in the next update.
Where exactly do we complain?
I have the same issue as well. My fiance does too. I'm on xXx module with EX kernel and my fiance is 100% stock with a locked bootloader.
I've done a clean flash before as well.
Sounds like it's either a snapchat issue or OP issue. I think there was some notes from other users having issues taking pictures with WhatsApp since pie. Could be related

Try emailing both snapchat support and posting on the OnePlus 6 official forum (on the oneplus website). I feel like it's not snapchat because it's happened on other apps for me.
I am on OB4 and have some other camera issues. When U open the camera app and select Timelapse all I get is the video capture screen and no option to set the time lapse setting. I alse get the standard 1x , 2x zoom option and it all it does is zoomes.
focus sucks
I'm on stock Pie, no root - some examples here how the focus socks: auto mode, (1) normal photo (2)about 3.5 zoom (3)~x5 (4) x8 I have gopro modified handlebar attachment on my bike, so consider it as if those pics were taken still and steady from a tripod.
focus sucks cont.
My phone/camera field stand - 2 pics, the 3rd pick shows zoomed detail of one of the islands there taken with my cheap, pocket Casio EX-ZR800 which has unbelievable zoom: x18 optical + x36 so called 'SR Zoom, does 1000fps as well, 224x64only let's hope they bring some of that technology to phones soon.

After today update i dont have issues with Snapchat.
Wysłane z mojego ONEPLUS A6003 przy użyciu Tapatalka
I also experience trouble with the camera. Zoomed in using snap. When I take pictures with stock camera app the shutter seems rly slow. Bad focus etc. Everything worked fine before Android pie. Good thread!
I was waiting to see if it would immediately **** up after I posted this, but it's been a few days since the last snapchat update and I no longer have the problem at all, at least that I ever noticed.

Same here. At first I thought it's cause I don't let it focus anymore since that causes the issue but it seems to be resolved for now. Now time for the rest of the pie issues to be fixed.
Agree. Happening with all the apps which use the system's camera. However, If we use the Camera app then it will work. but any 3rd party app that uses system camera it got stuck and crash.
