Camera App Freezing - HTC Desire Eye

Hi all,
My camera app freezes each time I open it, i tried safe reboot, restart, reboot and factory reset.
The only solution was after the factory reset the app worked again for 1 day.
Any ideas?

Mine has the same problem, but factory reset didn't help it. I'm on stock marshmallow

Solution to camera lag:
After multiple factory resets and reinstalls I found out the solution.
The camera lag is caused by HTC Speak app update.
I don't know what link this has with the camera but number of people have reported it
So in order to fix this perform the following steps:
1-uninstall HTC Speak Update
2-force close camera app
3-restart the device
These steps worked for me.
Camera is working fine now and maybe a even snappier.

Yep camera is working like a charm the problem is with the HTC Speak app. Thx

After many factory resets and tests, I have concluded too that the HTC Speak app is the problem. Last night I gave the phone the final reset, and set it up with my normal accounts and apps, with the goal to cancel HTC Speak at the end. The problem is that now, the camera is lagging and I cannot find the HTC Speak app to uninstall it (not even in system apps). I cannot find it even in the playstore to uninstall it. Any ideas?

Factory reset or use ESFile manager to manually remove HTC Speak

A new update was released today for HTC Speak, seems to work ok now

[Q] Stock camera application problem

Hello everybody,
I have problem with stock Camera application on HTC One X. Everytime when I start Camera app, app just exit and stay in recent apps. I read a lot of different topics about HTC One X camera problems over this forum but nothing helped.
One thing worked but I made mistake. When I turned on my phone today, after 3 months, there was HTC available updates. Actually three updates. One of them was stock Camera app. I have installed that applications and tried again stock Camera and it worked.
My mistake was that I wanted to delete all trash from phone and do hard reset, after that, stock Camera application don't work again and HTC don't send application update again.
I tried to overheat G-sensor (not working)
I tried different camera apps form Google Play (all working) just stock Camera app don't work.
My phone isn't rooted.
Does anybody know, how to force (or something like that) HTC to send stock Camera application update again?
I tried standard ways, Settings > About > Software update (there is no any update), *#*#checkin#*#*, clear google firmware data... nothing helped.
Solution
After hours of playing with phone -> solution:
1) Go to Apps manager > All > Search for updater > Clear data
2) Go to Settings > About > Software update
If problem still persist, wait few hours/days and try again, update should come.
After updating stock camera application, everything work as usual.
No so lucky for mine .both camera,s are dead .

[Q] !!! Bunch of google play errors on every restart !!!

I have been seeing these bunch of errors (screenshots) at every re-start for the past couple of days. I am running Viper Rom version 2.5.
I tried to run the GPE rom as well but i get the same errors on that rom as well. Not sure what the issue is but nothing is broken apart from the weather app/widget not able to find the current location. It just shows 'current location' instead of the actual location. But this does not affect the Maps at all, it pin points my exact location on the Map.
Can anybody help with this?
Sounds like a dirty flash, did you do a factory reset? A factory reset should fix that.

Yes i did a reset and clean flash. Still has the same issues.
I'm having the same issue on viper 2.5. Never had problems before. I even followed steps to convert play store from user to system app and downgraded play services to the latest 5 version, in which everything works well, cleared data/cache/defaults, uninstalled and reinstalled market. But every time I reboot it updates to version 6 and the problems begin. I even used disable services app to prevent it from updating, but still happens. Any help would be appreciated. (Forgot to mention that all apps work well but with constant error pop-ups)
Glad you wrote this. Been having same problem a UK rom debranded m8. I get the same errors restart but google play is popping up saying there's been a problem followed by a goggle services popup. I narrowed it down to either news and weather app or me just getting a new car and syncing with it. Filling in a zip code made the errors less. Still annoying as hell. Either latest google play update borked things or news and weather is causing a big fluke like it has several times in the past.

Camera stopped working after latest update

Hello everyone!
Last week I updated my Desire 816 to software version 1.60.401.1, and suddently camera (both cameras, the front facing one and rear facing one) stopped working.
The system camera app simply goes black just as opened, third part apps stuck as soon as got to the camera function (e.g. Instagram).
I tried clearing the system camera app cache and data, but this does not solve anything. What should I do now?
If that's an hardware issue, it is so strange it came just after the update!
Ok, problem solved. I performed a software reset as described in the user manual (long press on power button, choose reset, click on yes).
I asked the phone owner if she had done it, she said yes, but actually she hadn't: she had just switched it off and on again.
Sorry

[Issue] Auto resetting Marshmallow permissions

I've noticed this many times when I restart my phone and when it comes back online it's like I've removed a bunch of permissions from all the apps and I have to give the apps permission again.
This was really annoying and I've tried after resetting but still this isn't sorted.
Is this a marshmallow bug? I haven't had this problem before updating to it.
Are you guys having the same thing happening?

Strange Google services behavior after latest AT&T update

I received the latest AT&T update a week or so ago containing the 2.5 One UI update. After the update, I am experiencing some really strange issues with a variety of Google services.
1) Google Play Store updates are stalling. Most apps will download to a high percentage of completion (98% for example) and then just stall. If I leave the phone sit for a long time, eventually the updates will finish. This happens with every single app update or new download. I have 100GB free on the phone and it occurs on multiple networks (WIFI and AT&T).
2) GMail attachments won't download. They also stall at 0%.
3) I don't receive any incoming text messages when Google Messages Chat is enabled. Turning off chat and switching to SMS works though several texts say they failed to send and I have to retry (and they always end up going through). WIFI Calling is enabled.
4) Notifications from multiple apps are returning after I swipe them away. (Notification reminders is turned off in accessibility settings).
I did the usual - cleared cache in Google Play Store, Google Play Services, Google Services Framework, Download Manager. I cleared the cache after booting to recovery. When none of that fixed it, I completely reset my phone to factory conditions. Everything worked fine for 2 days and then today, all of the problems came back.
Everything else about the phone is normal as usual. I can't figure this one out and don't know what else to troubleshoot.
Try clearing the system cache on the boot menu.

Is that the same thing as clearing the cache after booting to recovery? (Volume up and power button)

That's it. Can work like voodoo on lots of gremlins.
If that doesn't get it try clearing data on the Google apps. Might have to take it back to the stone age but probably not.
Reboot afterwards if you do. Playstore is a pain.
If the OS hasn't been reloaded since Q was flashed consider reloading to get a snappy clean load.
My 3rd OS load is the best.
Although I'm still running Pie, it's fast and very stable... lol, I like dinosaurs. I don't update a lot as it usually causes more problems than it solves.
I had cleared the cache from recovery before I factory reset and it didn't fix it. However, I just tried it again on the new rebuild and this time I cleared the cache 5 times in a row and then rebooted. It appears to have fixed all of the problems. I wonder if it was a bad app update to Google Play Services after the restoration to factory conditions?

Sometimes you're better off staying on the factory load versions. I never let auto updates run.
I keep Playstore disabled unless I want to use it or check for updates because of this and it also is a resource pig.
Manually doing it makes spotting the trouble maker easier.
I also keep backup copies of known good updates for system apks so that the factory load isn't my only recourse if a apk been updated more than once. APK Export is a great freeware app for doing this. Backup all your Playstore apps too for faster and easier reloads. Plus if Playstore discontinues the app, you still have it. Been boned by Playstore* once too often.
*sometimes the software goes greedy, gets sold or there's a licensing issue. Either way once it's gone having a known good copy makes life so much easier.
Hello,
The same thing is happening to me but for several months now. I am in Spain with Movistar. The only way I could get them to update the Google Play APPs was to switch my mobile to "safe mode" and from there it really works.
I'm going to try a factory reset, to see how it went.

A reload probably won't help. It will very likely reoccur.
It sounds like a 3rd* party apk is the culprit.
Find the root cause and correct it.
It may be just a setting issue in a 3rd party apk.
*they include carrier, Samsung and misc others you installed.
