Camera issue

Hello guys,
i've bought the p8lite from a few days and it was working great.
Suddendly the camera has stopped working. I keep getting the message "Impossibile avviare la fotocamera, verificare che non siano in esecuzione applicazioni esterne in background (come torcia elettrica). Chiudere le applicazioni in questione e riprovare.".
Translated is like "Unable to start camera, check that there aren't any external app in background (such as torch). Close those apps and try again"
I've not installed any app yet, nor I have rooted or flashed the phone so I really don't know what to do with it.
Help me please!
Thanks in advance to everyone.

Hi, same problem here. I have ALE-04 version (android 5.1)
i tried:
*clean app data/cache: didnt work
*wipe cache/date partition from recovery: didnt work
*factory reset: didnt work
*downgrade to android 4: didnt work
*upgrade again to android 5: didnt work
*close apps like flashligth: didnt work
i am thinking about root and uninstall some apps or re install camera app. Maybe flash stock rom using twrp.
i just dont know if is a hardware issue. I never hit my phone or anything like that

Hi,
I had to send the phone back and get it replaced cause it was a hardware problem.
Hope it helps

thanks! but send my phone to USA service is very expensive to me. I had bad luck because my phone has no more than a year.
i will keep trying to repair it.

Maybe flashing twrp and flashing B598/599 stock will help.
Also, when you open the camera app you hear a sound from the actual camera (the lens) ?

I had a similar issue. When I installed a new update etc. the phone was fine. However after switching Google Now Voice (I mean saying ,,Ok Google" from ANY screen) it didn't go well with other apps - in my case it was Camera. So switching Google Ok Voice off helped me. But I'm not really sure, whether it's a same case. Maybe some third party app is blocking something? Good Luck!

im embarrased because camera app works sometimes, i mean, usually works 1 day or less and then shows error msg.
Yesterday i restarted my phone (normal restart) and then started to work. So i do not lose hope

Probably is a hardware malfunction but i want to figth a little more :laugh:

Xposed install guide

Hi all,
First off, backup everything and you do this at your own risk!
Okay, so you'll need a unlocked bootloader, twrp recovery and a rooted system with supersu installed.
Download the following
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3383776&d=1435601440
http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk23/arm64/xposed-v83-sdk23-arm64.zip
Install XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk
Open SuperSU and leave it running in the background. Open Xposed app, click on framework and select soft reboot. You should now get a popup from SuperSU requesting access from the xposed app.
After reboot, browse to the following location. / system / EMUI / base / prop , open the local.prop file and locate the line "ro.config.hwtheme = 1". Once you have located the line, change from 1 to 0. Save the file and reboot to twrp recovery.
Install the xposed-v83-sdk23-arm64.zip, once installed click on wipe Dalvik cache.
Reboot and test.
The first reboot after the install can take up to 10 mins, don't panic its normal!
You can update to the latest version of xposed-v85-sdk23-arm64.zip after this, but for whatever reason v85 doesn't work when installing first.
Cheers,
Paul

Hi,
Thx for this!
I've a question: is it possible to use Xposed but to have possibility to change theme?
Because with "ro.config.hwtheme = 0" the theme app is down (normal i think) but the theme is ..... not very pretty :/
Thanks, sorry for my english!

Do v83 have some serious bugs or its ok to use?!

Not sure to be honest, just use v83 to install with and upgrade after

Ok :laugh:

The setting does not work intermittently, won't load, tried on two Honor 5c so far, latest version as well as xposed-v85.1-sdk23-arm64-custom-build-by-wanam-20160530.zip - a reboot fixes but may be other issues as only had the phone for a week or so. Any solution?

There is no need to disable Huawei Theme Engine. Just flash Xposed v86 (or any version later than 86) and you're good to go. No build.prop and local.prop edits needed.

I had exactly the same problem, and to make it even worst I was having crashes when trying to call someone and also unable to receive calls. Sometimes a reboot would fix the situation but then it was back again. Are you facing the same problems with newer versions of xposed?
@Liffeyman Could you update the thread to the most recent xposed and installer? And also the change of the value inside the file is not needed anymore. Check this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-workaround-running-xposed-t3338765/

Mike_Wasawsky, didn't notice any other issues but settings won't launch - it was also the case with p9 lite. However, I am currently using Xposed framework 86.1 (custom build by wanam / 20160904) on build NEM-L51C432B120 and settings works most of the time if not all the time (I think I had to reboot once, not sure whether it was p9 Lite or 5c). Same version is also on a p9 lite and working OK. I would advise you to use latest Wanam build.

Thank you very much. I tried it anyway and I'm having the same issues.
I've been exploring this situation and realised that the problem wasn't specifically Xposed, but some of the modules.
I always use Youtube background, Youtube adAway and xInternalSD. Only installing youtube background it goes fine, but when I activate one of the others or both of them the problem starts again, randomly crashes settings and I can not make or receive calls, because the call app crashes too. :/

Why dint u tried from official site of rovo

My bad,i didnt explain it very well.
I did that,i have seperate section called Developer Options,but when i press it settings app crashes.Bluetooth isnt working,half the stuff doesnt work,and i cant access usb debugging-

My guess is that when you did a factory reset, the additional package with the others app has been deleted.. try to flash it again.

I have got the same issue. What do you mean with "additional package"?

Did you, by any chance, flashed a custom kernel to get root?

Same thing here except after a factory reset my display settings were fine but after the set up in the settings it just crashes the app.

Settings crashes / Uninstalling App runs reboot

Hi! I hope that someone could help me.
First some informations:
I have a Huawei P9 Lite, running B370 (VNS-L31C432) + patched SuperSU root + unlocked bootloader.
My Problems:
-If I try to open developer settings, security settings, ... I always get message that settings will be closed. I don't know how long this problem exist, because last time I tried to open was 2 weeks ago.
-If I try to uninstall apps, my phone starts a reboot. But not a normal reboot. It shows me boot animation and after it I am on desktop again, without beeing asked for sim pin again. I think it will be called "Fast reboot", right? But problem is, that App is still installed.
Would be nice if someone could help me, to fix these problems.
Greetings and sorry for bad English!

Rollback to marshmallow

Help Rollback Oreo

Hi guys is there anyway to rollback Oreo as it keeps crashing my gmail and outlook, other than that its seems to run great.

did you try a factory reset first. The only way back is to flash stock software in odin.

Use the desktop client from Samsung to roll back.

Thanks guys, I didn't factory reset but I think I found a way to stop the crashing.
I installed android system webview and that has stopped all the apps that were crashing at launch to start working again.
So just a heads up if you cant launch any apps, try the android webview install.

With smartswitch

Plug in the usb on your smartphone and start smart switch. After the launch of the program it will ask you to update your phone. It will download latest android 7.0 firmware and revert back to stock

A couple days ago i updated smartswith pc , and it says smartswitch will not support "device initialization mode" anymore. When i search from settings and boom no more this mode. It says make it from your phone.

I did it yesterday
1. Install that smart switch app on PC/ MAC.
2. when you hook your cell via usb, it's say software update msg on smart switch(i.e. to stable version 7.0)
3. once rollback is done, you'd need to un-enroll to beta update via samsung + app.. otherwise that oreo beta updated notification will hang there.

If you get an error when trying to install Smart Switch PC about a "side-by-side" error of some sort (forgot exactly what it said), install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) first.
How do you un-enroll from the beta update from the samsung + app?

I used Odin to flash a factory image of 7.0 from Updato.

how do i opt out of beta? I used smart switch to roll back, but now it already redownloaded the new firmware.
Android auto didn't work even after usb debugging enabled as some suggested. Anyone have an idea how to unenroll in the beta? I checked samsung + but cant find as solution.

I used odin to reflash but update keeps trying to install. No option to withdraw from beta in the samsung+ app...

on your phone, open Samsung Members app - go to settings and then at the bottom click on Galaxy Beta Programme...at the bottom of the following screen click DEREGISTER at the bottom.

Did it come disabled when u got it ? cause it was for mine

I did the oreo install with Telus and everything was buttery smooth. There was second update about a week later and it's not buttery smooth and cords and it's taken longer to charge. Not functioning like it should be. How do I roll back this install?
