"Camera can't connect" error message after OTA update to Lollipop - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys,
I received and installed OTA update for my LG G3 D855 (2/16gb) to V20E-eur-XX couple of days ago.
Phone is NOT rooted.
I'm not happy with update. Everything seems to be lagging more and more and on top of that, I can't start camera at all. When I tap onto Camera icon, I get "Camera can't connect" error.
Please, help me, I'm very mad on LG right now.
Thank you in advance.

Just wipe data/factory reset it. Hope it helps you. If not root and install a custom rom like S3V3N !

Thx, scamex. Both proposed solutions are valid, but I would like to hear some other, bc factory reset is a pain and I don't know if that'll work.
On the other side, I don't want to root.

same issue here. after taking few pictures and video. it suddenly says cant connect to camera even i switched to google camera.
i just restarted the phone and the camera now works.

Music Stops with Screen Off (F460K)

Hey guys I've had this issue where regardless of what music app I use, a few seconds after I turn my screen off (i.e. lock the device) the music will stop playing until I turn it back on.
Anyone have any idea why? I'm on version 10e (latest according to PC Suite and OTA Checker), and I'm stock unrooted.
Other than that the phone's been amazing and blazing fast, even outspeeding my M8 GPE sometimes

Also, when charging, this problem doesn't occur. This further adds to the mystery...
Also, it happens if I have music local or streaming, so that rules out network issues.

UPDATE: OK so after messing with about every single setting on the phone, I tried switching it back to Dalvik. Fixed everything 100%. Whole phone is faster, from opening apps to web pages.
Very strange... Not sure why there would be so much ART incompatibility, but I guess it's 4.4.2 and not .3 or .4. If anyone else has has this problem (including an inability to wake the phone up without a few tries), check your RunTime. I'm hoping it'll be better next update, but for now this'll have to do.

Hi there!
I have exactly the same problem since I updated the phone to Lollipop (D85520A) but before that I didn't have that problem. Firstly I found this when I updated to D85519H and then I performed another update to the current version (D85520A) and it didn't help. The smartphone is way better, but this problem is really ennoying me.
ART is not available on Lollipop and my phone went only for one day to ART mode and it was a pain in the ass (when I still had 4.4.2) and then I switched back to normal.
I am thinking about to a factory reset and reinstall Android 5.0 on CSE mode AGAIN and see what happens, but I think it won't help at all.
Do you have any idea of what could I do in order to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance.
Fixed
Hi there!
Just a short update.
Like I mentioned before, I got this problem when I updated my phone with the new Lollipop FW (D85519H) and then I tried to perform another update using the D85520A but the problem was still there. So I believe that the update didn't fix the issue from the previous update so I performed another clean update using the same last one and the problem disappeared.
Thank you anyway.

LG G4 818p Dualsim Frontcamera problem after Update

Hey there,
yeah, after updating to firmware V10f-AME-XX the frontcamera of my G4 has stopped working. Notification is: Unfortunately, the camera has stopped. The camera opens, but then, after two seconds, the screen freezes and the notification appears.
Any suggestions? I was thinking of flashing back to another firmware, but to be honest, i have no idea how to do this and above all, find the correct firmware for the LG-818p
Thanks for helping me...

camera app crash and reboot phone

Hello all,
I rooted my G4 ( h815, rooted v10b ) with this tricks : http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/root-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765
All was perfect, until one day, my camera sometimes didn't launch and make reboot my phone.
So I decided to update my phone to MM. ( so I unrooted the phone and update it with lg bridge )
But the probelm is still here under MM !
There is 3 sort of possibilities when I launch the camera :
- the camera work
- the camera app crash
- the phone reboot
After a reboot of the phone, the camera always work. But after sometimes it crash again and I need to reboot.
What do you think of that ?
Thanks.
Same here
I am having exactly the same problem.
I had not rooted my phone, it started happening after the MM upgrade.
Another upgrade came out recently and it seems to happen far less so I am convinced it is software related.
Did you have any luck with finding a solution.
Thanks
Hello,
I didn't have another upgrade, I'm on v20d.
The problem is still here and now it happens really often.
I'm sending it now for reparation, but I hope they will fix it and not just hard reset the phone....

OTA Update failure

Hello everyone
I have a lenovo vibe p1a42
When i bought this phone i was initially able to update without any problem til build no. S147_151288_ROW. But after that when i received notification of new update available, i downloaded it bt I cannot update it. I tried it several time. Every time it jist takes me to recovery mode, starts updating then at 24% it fails. I tried updating manually. I also tried using Lenovo Smart Assistant. But all of them give same result.
I am unable to uodate any furture. Can u tell me what should i do? I hear that this phone has now MM update too, bt i'm stuck.
Also, my phone has stopped vibrating. No vibration on anything. The vibration does works sometimes, bt again stops working in few min. I dont know whether this is software related or h/w prob. I will take it to service center if the problem doesnt solve on updating the os.

Good luck

I wanted to try tht but i cannot find a link for s152 version file. I tried contacting lenovo through their official forum, they said bring it to service center. I think i ll just do that only. Since i anyway had to go there for my vibration problem.
BTW Thank you for reply.

I understand your pain.... lenovo OTA updates are very finicky. If you want marshmallow you can straightaway flash that ROM (the latest one is S285).
But please make sure to backup your data since this will definitely wipe all your data (same as factory reset). There is thread in on this forum which gives a fairly easy steps on flashing ROMs folr Vibe P1.
If you want to root your android 6.0 though, thats a different story.
Still have a look here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/vibe-p1/development/qpst-flashing-vibeui-3-1-s272-rom-t3386650
You can flash ROM fairly easily from flashing steps mentioned in above thread. If you feel rooting steps are complex, you can still stay on unrooted rom, at least it will be the latest one.

Camera won't focus after downgrade to LP

Hey guys,
I got my G4 H815 delivered with MM pre-installed a few months ago. I decided to downgrade to LP to root the phone without unlocking the bootloader. Everything worked like a charm, except the Camera won't focus anymore at all (no matter what app), the manual focus does not work either. I already did multiple factory resets (removed root, tried a different LP version) and cleared the cache for the camera app.
So after nothing worked and I worried my camera got a hardware defect, I returned to Marshmallow, and yes, the focus works perfectly fine once again. So the hardware does work. After that I tried an older LP Update, but same result. So I flashed MM for the second time tonight, and ofc it works on MM...
However, I would prefer to have a rooted (but locked) phone. Is there anything you guys could think of that causes that behavior? As I said, I got my H815 with MM pre installed!
Thanks for your help!
Any ideas?
DO factory reset ! hard reset !

hi !
-the firmware update is to fix errors and improve the phone a bit. there are several videos on youtube that show the focus problem of g4. focus is slow. mine was with MM too so i don't have any personal experience on that problem.
-yes you can root without unlocking. unlocking the bootloader is something you are gonna do to install a custom bootloader or custom recovery.
Also search better this forum. there are custom roms you can install and keep your bootloader untouched
Sorry for bringing up such an old thread, but have you found any fixes? Im having the exact same problem right now.
Same here, I was forced to go back to MM as a result, but i miss having root so much
