after i update phone to 5.0.1 sometimes i have a problem with keyboard ,randomly they stopped work ,
when i tapping the place and keyboard should appear nothing happens.
after one or two minut going back :/
any experience with this,,
thank guys
i noticed the same thing...i had to reboot the phone few times...
Same issue here!
You can wait till christmas, but nothing works to get your keyboard back..except booting..
Yes same issue here. I've mentioned it not long after the Developer Edition received the OTA.
It's not even something that we can recreate, it's just completely random. It stays that way until a reboot and then it's fine again. Very irritating.

Hello, the same problem with the keyboard .On any firmware, I have 6 different firmware problem persists.
p . s . TEL Verizon
Still having this damn problem.. Anyone know if it's isolated to Verizon phones? I'm on Verizon 5.0.1 stock, both the HTC and Google keyboard do it. Completely random, about once every day to 2-3 days. So annoying.
I'm having trouble with my HTC one M8

I had a problem with the keyboard lagging which got worse after the lollipop update, I was considering a warranty claim or rooting the phone and then the microphone packed in and the decision was made, I called the network who advised me to send it to HTC for repair which I did, it also had a few sync problems too, I asked the technical support guy about this problem and he said it would have to be reflashed, I sent it to them and they did the work, replacement microphones, replacement receiver, replacement lower board, replacement rubber something or other which I was told is something under the screen, replacement camera and a few others and of course it was flashed, I got it back after 8 days expecting my otherwise brilliant phone to be as it should be as I have come to expect from HTC, I switched it on and did the initial stages of making it work, I let it restore the last backup I made (off the phone with faults) which reported had failed but it started to restore the backed up apps, settings and my contacts, everything restored to how I had it before minus a couple of apps and a few notification settings, I have been using it for 2 days now however the keyboard has not been fixed by flashing it, unless the errors could have been brought in by the restoration? I have experienced the screen freeze and start jumping, jumping to the all open apps page, keyboard lag, keyboard is inaccurate, I went into the EE shop and they said that it should go back to HTC again, I haven't tried to hard reset it and go back to the factory settings and not restore the backup image this time, I've never had any problems with the 3 HTC phones I've owned, it is a good phone otherwise
Damn, I just went back to Dev Edition and sure enough it happened to me. Has this ever been fixed? This is way too annoying for me.
Possible Fix
For what it's worth, I went into App Manager to clear the Sense Input data as suggested by a previous poster (thank you) but did not have a 'Clear Data' button. There was a 'Settings' button though where I was able to turn off HTC Sense Input, after which my Swype keyboard immediately started working again. First time I've been able to resolve this SUPER annoying issue without rebooting the phone. Time will tell if it's a real fix; I'll update this post if not.
Phone is a brand new M8, still on stock 5.0.1

What's up guys, i'm new here . Three days ago, HTC sent back my phone after a checkup for a vibration problem. They said that they did a software update (false, it was already 1.29.401.11) and sensors calibration. Yesterday, the phone stopped vibrating again. What should i do now? I think that is a software problem (stock rom, never rooted). I'm sorry for bad english . Thanks

Don't think you can do anything much other than give it back and ask for a replacement as it's the second time this has happened... Also, try doing a factory restore and see if it works.

I dit it, but this should be the third time that i send it to assistance. The first one was for a g sensor problem, resolved with a replacement of motherboard, but when i sent it the vibration worked perfectly, i suspect that they broken my phone.

not a incoming email vibration notification , not a wi-fi drop out vibration notification.

They actually scammed you by saying they updated it(when it was updated already like you say) You should go back, yell at them and take out some frustration if you wish =P
Don't root your phone to install another rom, try fixing it as is on stock rom.
I would try these:
1)Factory Reset
2)Update to latest FW
3)HTC Diagnostics Test (Has a vibration test)
4)Haptic Feedback On(To see if it vibrates on typing and tapping and such)
5)Phone Ringing with vibration
If any of the above work, then its definitely a software problem.
If they don't, either way you have to go back to HTC. Try getting a replacement. Say you're tired of coming back again and again to get your phone fixed, "Give me a replacement or My Money back"
I read another post a few weeks back where the user was experiencing these mechanical sounds on haptic feedback(I also have that problem) but his vibration stopped altogether. He got his HOX replaced.
Anyways Good Luck.

I don't recommend hijacking the thread, create your own thread
Sorry I'm probably stepping on his thread too, but please point in any directtion before I have an inoperable phone and a hard time getting HTC to cover.
However, I an issue that will f-up this phone I'm afraid. I have on a daily basis what I would describe as an alarm of some sorts (can't duplicate) that runs about 15 seconds once to twice daily at full vibration. Not rooted and have reset 3 times.
If you've ever run a battery drain program with full vibration on. Not good for the phone. I'm at a loss in this one, really dreading tech support or my local store. Will run the HTC diags but any other ideas greatly appreciated
No receipt, no box and I traded for it on Craig'slist 2weeks ago..

My friend had the same problem with a HOX - it wouldn't vibrate at all. He tried doing a factory reset and playing with settings, but nothing worked, so he sent it back and got a replacement. I'm not sure you can do anything about it since it's likely a hardware problem.
After upgrading from 4.0 to 4.1 I found that my phone won't switch on until I press the power button three times although sometimes it does switch on first go. Then, I installed the latest OTA patch to 4.1.1, software number 3.14.401.31 (international version) and found that accessing the camera from the lock screen, with security pattern enabled, is very slow. That is when you drag the camera to the unlock ring and release, the lock ring pauses for about 5 seconds before the camera starts up. This didn't happen before the last update.
So far I have taken the camera out of the unlock bar and rebooted the phone and turned off geo-tagging photos. None of these options helped.
If I turn off the pattern unlock then accessing the camera from the lock screen is normal so this appears to be something to do with accessing the camera with the pattern unlock enabled.
Hi,
I have encountered the same thing - seems like you're the only one who has reported it on these forums so far. I hadn't tried disabling the pattern unlock, thanks for the tip. I'll try this. But I'm quite unhappy about this new bug that just came out of nowhere with the 4.1 update, especially knowing that the camera quick start was one of the features HTC boasted about so much!
Yeah, not much on it at the moment but the upgrade is quite recent. Hopefully more people will find this thread and we can get some traction.
Same problem here, me and my wife. Wery annoing!

I emailed HTC and they replied the next day which was good. They asked me to reset the camera app, reboot the phone and then factory reset the phone if the other things didn't work. It didn't fix it yet so I'll see what they come up with next.

No factory resetting my phone didn't work. HTC rang me back and said that I need to return it to who I bought it from. In other words no fix and returning certainly won't prove anything. I think I'll just have to wait it out until it is fixed with another update ... hopefully.
Or maybe we should looking at getting an app that provides the same functionality?
Have te same bug guys :/

I tried the factory reset too, to no avail. Seems like disabling the phone lock is the only solution, but that's not really what I would call a satisfactory solution, since I'm using a VPN on my phone and that requires a lock + I just don't want to go lock-free.
We need this issue to be known to HTC and hopefully a fix will come.
Ps I don't think this problem was present in the JB update, but only came in the small FW update that followed.

Yeah it only came in the small update after the JB update. But another problem that I'm having is that to turn my phone on via the power button, sometimes I have to press the power button three times. It doesn't always happen, but sometimes after the phone has been off for a while, I hit it once and nothing, hit it again, nothing and then on the third press it comes on. I'm not sure if they are related to the "quick" camera launch problem.
One work around for this bug, if you use your camera a lot, is to leave your camera in standby mode. That is turn your phone off while the camera is active and then when you hit the power button it will go straight to camera. I don't use this myself as I have the lock pattern on to prevent my phone from turning on in my pocket which is common on HTC phones
HTC support are a waste of space
I have this issue too. HTC told me to factory reset it, then when that didn't work they told me to return it to the store to be sent away for repair. They really don't have a clue at HTC support.
The phone was returned to Vodafone yesterday and the repair centre said "no fault found" What are they on!!! The Vodafone store confirmed the issue was still there.
I now have the phone back with no resolution.
Going to call Consumer and get some advice.
I have this problem too, quite annoying.

Hello guyz.. My htc 816 touch screen not working properly, have to press several times each button.. This suddenly happened.. I turn on in settings "show touches" and began to see in the left down corner on the back button that the touch is moving there and pressing back very fast.. Now this issue often appear .. But now the soft keys are not pressing from the first time I touch them.. The notification bar is to hard to open either.. And tapping a message is a massacre hehe..
P.s : I'm rooted.. And I try to install cm12 but nothing happened.
Plz friends help.. And thanks
Flash a RUU, or restore a stock backup and see if the problem persists.
I have the same issue. 816x single SIM. Any Rom I flash I get this same issue after a few minutes into the Rom. Only on stock it works normally. I have used most recent released of twrp and cwm. I have also tried garak kernal and stock trying to narrow it down. Any ideas on this?

Sounds the same to me. Have to hit home keys few times to get it to work, trying to text is hectic. During swiping it'll select things instead of swipe. Put on pointer location youll see it on and off while moving around the screen (even though you're doing a circle with your finger). Something around those lines?
Did anyone find a fix on this at all? Seen a few posts on this but no answers yet.

I also have this problem. Just started two days ago. The most problematic is the going back button and the home button. Text is a nightmare as swipe works intermittently and it's all so slow. I've had to turn it off and on to get out of the camera or off another page due to the back button not working. It has also started bringing up random pages that I haven't touched, as someone else said somewhere.
I've taken the sim card out but that doesn't seem to be the problem.
So, if I restore to factory settings as has been suggested, what happens to my apps? I'm only concerned about my one paid app as it was $28! Can I just download via pc as I did initially?
What if this doesn't work? This is a new phone from January ... I love it :crying:

Your device software is not up to date speaking bootloader wise. This happens and causes your device touch functions to act up. This was an early issue when device was just released.

So issue started as follows:
a. For a few days, I've noticed that camera will give very blurry photos and videos. I tried a few things (including cleaning laser/camera lens with a cloth), but it wouldn't work.
b. Decided to restart phone today and see if that helps (turn off and on right?)
c. I now get error "Unable to start the camera" when I tap on the camera app.
I have tried the following:
a. install 3rd party app - won't work
b. restart phone (multiple times) - won't work
c. clear data/clear cache, disable, enable, remove permissions and allow permissions for Camera app - won't work
d. reboot phone in safe mode - won't work
e. Go into diagnostic mode using #*#*3434*#*# to test camera. Guess what, there are no options to test camera!
f. Go into diagnostic mode and test flashlight. Flashlight won't turn on anymore. Also, I found that the system's flashlight app is gone.
All this leads me to believe that for some reason the phone is not detecting the camera hardware anymore. I'm out of ideas. I bought the phone overseas, and local HTC told me to return it overseas or pay a handling fee of $100 and they'll look at it, but will probably not be able to do anything anyway.
Phone is just a bit over 1 month old.
Any ideas?
I'm having the same problem. I'm rooted on unlocked HTC 10 on stock 2.41.617.3. I'm S-On. I've tried force stop and delete cache and data. Tried safe mode and tried a 3rd party camera app. I just got by phone back from HTC to repair the camera and it worked before flashing the January security update and rooting it. Afterwards, I now get "unable to start the camera"

So, I completely wiped data and reset factory settings, but camera still wouldn't start.
Flashed phone back to Taiwanese version, and it's now working, but original issues are back, i.e. blurry camera that can't focus on anything. I restarted phone a few times to see if it would go back to "unable to start the camera", but it's still working, just blurry and unable to focus. I'm still going through the various updates now. Have notification for Nougat. will try that and test camera again.
[UPDATE]
Interesting update: So, I upgraded to Nougat just now, and after restarting, I tested camera, it's not working anymore. Here's my speculation: 1) camera module (hardware) is broken/fkd up/stuffed, but only partly? Whereas Android 6 will let it work, but blurry and no focus, Android 7 just won't let it work at all. That's just my theory that makes a little sense atm. Anyone else?
I think you are correct, i would send it for warranty (if you still have that)
Good luck !
I did a hard reset and the camera started working again.

It was blurry when I purchased it used. That's why I sent it back to HTC since it was under warranty. It looked like it was a bad auto focus module, although HTC never said so. Fixed and was working well, then today (after the reset I posted about), then today it stopped working. I'm going to RUU tonightor tomorrowand install apps one by one. It seems to be softwa rerelated.

I'm sure it will work if you go to android 6, but it will be blurry. It won't work after you restart in android 7. That's my experience
My wife's 10 was having this issue. Neither a factory reset nor an RUU helped. But randomly it just started working for her. There were app updates from Google for photos and chrome but I have no idea if they're related but nothing else changed. Really strange!
Edit: a day later the camera is not working again.

I've been experiencing the very same problem and the only thing that helps is hard reset or RUU. It doesn't always work on the first try, but after 3-4 attempts the camera starts working perfectly for a period of time -- sometimes a week, sometimes a month and a half (my personal record, which was set a few days ago, when camera died again). Then I always have one day of the focus getting disabled followed by a complete shutdown with all the symptoms described by OP (no flashlight icon, 'unable to start' message). Has anyone found a permanent solution to this problem?
I have the same problem with my htc
I have the same problem on a non-rooted Verizon HTC 10... the camera app won't open, the flashlight won't work, the camera shortcuts disappeared from the top Nougat menu, and any other app I try says it can't find the camera.
I'm unable to find any troubleshooting or debugging methods yet... any suggestions? I have Android Studio but I haven't learned much of it, I'm wondering if Developer mode or the Studio USB debugging can help...

A few things that seem to have helped some people are:
removing SD card and restarting the phone without it;
clearing camera app's cache;
uninstalling all 3rd party apps that might be interfering with the camera;
RUU-ing the phone with an official firmware (you don't need root or S-OFF for that, as long as you don't try to downgrade from Nougat to Marshmallow).
Nothing but the last method worked for me. Though it doesn't do the trick every time and even when it does, it is only a temporary solution, as the problem keeps popping up again after a while. Last time the camera in my HTC 10 started working without any software interference from my side: I went on a hike in cold weather and, as I hypothesise, something about it (temperature differential? pressure change?) restored camera functionality for a couple of weeks, after which it died again. This incident led me to believe that this is a hardware problem and the camera module simply isn't securely connected to the motherboard in our phones or something. My wild guess is that RUUing might sometimes help simply because of the heat rewriting firmware produces.

Oh *smack* sorry I forgot to mention that I already tried clearing the camera app's cache, wiping cache from recovery menu, and factory resetting the phone.
I think it's a hardware issue since I think it got a little wet from sprinklers and I read the phone isn't water resistant, and also that the camera module is flaky anyways... Verizon accidentally cancelled my insurance without telling me and I haven't seen yet that HTC covers it on warranty.
I'll try these other things you suggest, but do you think it would be worth trying to have HTC repair it? It'll be worth it for $350 or less, or I could try a local shop, though I think they'd just do the same thing I would (research it on Google, buy the necessary repair parts, then painstakingly fix it), but I've seen in repair videos that this phone is very fragile and difficult to work with, so I'm not sure all that time and effort would even be worth just buying a new version outright, and I'd like the phone to work for the eclipse!.

I actually went to a repair shop about a month ago and was told that they were certain part replacement would leave significant marks on the metal body =/ If you carry the phone in a full case, I guess this should not be a big problem. AFAIK, an official HTC repair shop would just replace the phone under warranty in cases like this due to how low simplicity of disassembly was on designers' priority list when 10 was being sketched out, but you're saying Verizon canceled your warranty?
I also face this unable to start camera.
My software no is 2.51.617.11
I live in Myanmar (Burma). No one know this problem including HTC Myanmar.
Apparently there are a handful of us who have faulty cameras. Haven't heard anything from HTC. I have tried everything listed here and more. No luck. The only way my camera works is on older firmware (1.9.xxx.xx) and running Marshmallow.
well my htc 10 started playing up today, camera wont start when you touch the camera app on the screen..ive had this phone for 9 months , my warranty expires in march 2019, ive tried all the above methods none worked, phoned HTC uk up and they said to send it in..i hope they replace it with another unit ?..if they do replace it with another unit will the wrranty be transferred over to that, ie expire in march 2019? i also noticed that the flashlight app doesnt work it just says on screen "loading"..
I have the exact same problem, tried all the suggestions, but still it says 'Unable to start camera'. I even opened up the phone, and replaced the camera with another HTC 10 which had water damage. Problem still exists, which leads me to believe that the camera isn't the issue, it might be the mainboard it's connected to in combination with Nougat? The other case can be that the broken phone I got the camera from might have the same problem.... allthough I think that's unlikely. I'd like to order another camera to make sure its not that, but can't really find one. Anyone got any further with this issue?
Hi, so i've been using the Oneplus 5T for a year and just recently it started having issues with lag, making the phone unusable. I tried installing different roms without success(Oxygen OS Open Beta 23, Lineage OS 16, and Oxygen OS 5.1.4) and i have no idea what is causing it. This issue began while i was on the OOS beta 23 and it wasn't rooted, it just started behaving that way suddenly i didn't drop it or anything, also the screen blinks and start doing weird things sometimes. Did anyone had this issue? And what can be causing it? Thanks
Link to a video of my problem: https://youtu.be/17LOiftTf8w
Found the issue. Apparently it's caused by google play services, if i clear the data of the app the phone works fine and as soon as i install something from the store it starts lagging again
I always have this issue after finishing a clean setup on oxygen os beta. One restart for me solves and never returns.
same here

If you find a solution please let me know i ran out of ideas my fix with the play services stopped working, thanks
What the hell is that lag issue seriously ??
I was thinking to flash a custom kernel and ROM but would it solve the issue ?
And the issue is completely random as well.
I have the exact same issue. Starts when i download something from playstore, open camera after a while or transfer big files e.g transferring data through oneplus switch. I have tried everything i could and didnt help. Upgrades, downgrades, root, trimming storage, clearing cache etc. Nothing is helping. If anyone finds a solution please tell me too. Really frustrated ?
The problem occured on official ROM but it comes back even on Lineage OS 16 (official too).
Do you think it could be a hardware issue ? If not, how come this problem happens even when flashing an other ROM ?

For me it lags all the time, the phone is unusuable. I can reboot, flash a new ROM ... nothing will solve it.
I had this problem for almost 3 weeks and no fix from Oneplus, so I will buy a new phone.

I had the same issue 2 months ago, I tried everything to fix the problem even did hard reset using oneplus' official program and it didn't work.
I came to a conclusion that it's a hardware issue so I sent my phone to repair and one week later I got my phone back fixed.
I recommend you to do the same if you still have warranty, the whole process took only one week. The customer service is really good.
Same problem here, my phone lags like a hell. Running omnirom pie

Maybe try to reset your phone by using MsmDownloadTool, if that doesn't fix your problem then it must be a hardware issue.

The problem is that (not only i lost the warranty) but i'm not from the USA and sending them the phone is kind of hard and expensive, to the point that i think buying a new phone is cheaper. I reached to support anyways but i'm still waiting for a response after 3 days. What did they change on your phone?

I don't know what did they replace I didn't get any information about that. The screen is the same though they didn't change it, my guesses are either it's the motherboard or the motherboard to screen connector (it's called main flex I think, you can get on for about 3$)
