[SOLVED]Several Camera-Related Apps Freeze in Preview Mode - Sony Xperia XZ1 Questions & Answers

Hello all,
Is there anyone else having issues where Snapchat camera preview freezes after moving around for a few seconds??
Then when you reopen it just happens again.
FIX: plug in your XZ1 into your PC and run software repair using Xperia Companion (WARNING: This will delete everything in internal storage so back up your important data on to your SD card first). This will also update your phone to the latest build if you haven't been able to get OTA updates.

UPDATE: I contacted Sony Mobile support and I was told to verify that each of the apps were properly updated. After I did, the contact support representative simply informed me that these apps might just not be compatible with the XZ1 camera. Please take note of this before purchasing. The apps that crash for me (sometimes it works correctly but after opening and reopening these apps a few times, they start to get sluggish then crash) are Snapchat, Bitstream, Streamlabs, etc. I would assume then any 3rd party camera app would encounter the same issue.
EDIT: Finally a more informed answer was given after I stated I would let people know about this issue on a forum.
"We are sorry to know about the multiple camera apps inconvenient you are experiencing with your Xperia™ XZ1 and we want you to know that we care about our customers' satisfaction, for that reason the best resolution to your issue will be provided.
As per your concern, It is due to the fact that the code snippet (API) that was used by apps such as Snapchat, to take pictures, is obsolete. The new API will be communicated to partners and will require implementation on the partner side (third party applications developers). While Sony Xperia™ always moves away from obsolete code when programming their own software we want to provide our customers a resolution to any inquiry.
Thus with the information supplied, we can advise that the camera performance is based on the default third party application, you would be required to download an alternative application and try to take pictures from other apps.
We suggest having a look on the Play store, try looking up Facebook, Instagram on periscope or zoom fx, from what I am aware they allow camera usage on apps.
Please take into account that the main solution to these kind of inconvinients are related to regular applications updates since Sony Xperia does not pick up adjustments that are done by using obsolete code. Which means that looking for a Snapchat, bitstream, streamlabs update on your Play Store should permanently solve the issue.
In addition it is important to remember that a software update brings the latest functionality and enhancements in order to ensure optimal performance on your device, since your Xperia's factory release android operative system version is 8.0 and is the lastest may be the apps are not updated to be used with this Android version."
- Sony Customer Support

This is all well and good but what if - as in my case - the app that is continually crashing and causes auto restart, is sony's own software? The software shipped with the device is the problem with my device.

I'm going to try doing a refresh of my XZ1; it's a hassle but I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing my issue also. You should try as well. Perhaps it will fix your issue. I'll update this weekend

i am having same issue and I keep checking manually to see if there is any update to fix it and to make sure my apps are uptodate... I just don't know why did I get this phone over my beloved Xiaomi Mi5 which was much much better than this uncooked oreo device

[Q] Xperia P - random scrolling, opening of apps etc

Hey everyone,
I have a problem with my Xperia P. Sometimes, it randomly starts to do things when the phone is unlocked, even if I am not touching the screen. It seems to register a touch, when there actually isn't any. Because of this, it randomly starts opening apps, scrolling and sometimes even moving widgets (it somehow registers a long touch followed by random scrolling).
I figured it was some sort of software error, so I used the PC companion program to repair my phone (wiping all settings but not the SD card) and for good measure, I reset the phone from the Android menu, also wiping the SD card. Then I reinstalled my apps etc and everything seemed fine, but after about two days the problem was back.
Is this a software bug that more people have, or is it a hardware defect? Also, I read using a third party charge could cause this. I use the official Sony charger of my old Ray, but it is rated to have the same voltage and less mAh, so that can't be it, right?
Technical details:
Android version: 4.1.2 (6.2.A.1.100)
Carrier: T-mobile NL
Which apps you installed, can you remember if it was after you installed a new app?

I can't say whether it was after installing a new app. I had the same problem earlier once, but I fixed it by repairing the phone using PC companion. Then there was an OTA (don't remember which, but must have been the last one in NL) and the problem came back. Or at least, that's how it seems, might still be hardware combined with weird timing.
Well none seems to be like one that can cause such a problem, but it's weird that a jardware problem will disapeare or surface with software updates.
I searched around on Google a bit and found a youtube video of someone with a similair problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMlfIq8fe0I
I also found this thread for the Xperia S, which seems to describe a similair issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895423
From what I read, most people either disabled some app which caused the problem or it was a hw issue.

[Q] Capacity for NFC services full

Ever since the lollipop update, my phone has been getting this Capacity for NFC services full: Not enough capacity to enable to service. Try disabling one or more services. I do not have NFC on, and when i do turn it on the same thing happens. It gives the option to cancel or change service. When i click on change service it goes to setting and says, Unfortunately, Settings has stopped. How do i stop this error?
Same issue here
Hi there.
Unfortunately I don't have a solution but just wanted to let you know that I have exactly the same problem. My Sony Xperia Z2 updated to Lollipop last friday and since then I get this annoying "capaciteit voor NFC-services is vol" message (it's in Dutch ) When I click on 'change settings' a new window is opened where it is not possible to change any setting. Switched NFC on and off but doesn't seem to do anything. The message keeps popping up irregularly...
Very annoying issue. Hope someone finds a solution.
Exaclty the same issue here

Try Factory Reset
There must be a better way than just a factory reset, and not sure if that would actually solve the issue.
Just chiming in that I updated to Lollipop on my Z3 last night and am encountering the same issue.

Thanks.
Same Problem
I did a factory restore and I am still getting the same issue.
Same here
I'm experiencing the same thing. Upgraded to Lollipop last month, but this only started a couple days ago. Not after installing a new app. Got low on disk space, which triggered a back up alert. Cleaned out my pics, but then started getting this error.

I think I figured it out. Suggested a bunch of apps that had bee recently updated on reddit, and the common denominator was the Scotiabank app, updated a few days ago.
Uninstalled, no NFC errors. I have written the dev, and hope for a response soon. That seems to be the cause, so check it out and post if it works for you.
Solution: Clear Google Play Services and NFC Service Data in Safe Mode
Don't know if this is a solution but it worked for me.
1) Boot into Safe Mode.
2) With NFC off, clear all data from NFC Service and Google Play service via Settings>Apps>All.
2.a) Clear data from any Mobile Payment/Banking App and any NFC enabled app.
2.b) Under the running apps, select via the top right dots to view cached apps.
2.c) Delete (Stop) them all. It can be tedious as some won't stop before others but persist and it can be done.
3) Restart phone and error is gone.
thanx, worked for me as well. remainings of android pay caused the problem on my mobile.
Hi Guy !
Same problem here.
Unfortunately no Scotia Bank, noting...
And when i get this message, it says that is current capacity used is.... 0%!!!
I begin to hate this phone :s
Thanks if you have any tip.

I've got a Z3 compact that I recently downgraded from LP to KK (no root). Upon booting into KK for the first time, a toast notification appeared stating that the NFC firmware was being updated. After that, the google play services updated and then this stupid "Capacity for NFC Services Full" message kept popping up. It only seems to pop up randomly and only goes away when I disable NFC, but I can't seem to get rid of it using any of the methods mentioned in this thread. Has anyone else ran into this? I've completely wiped my phone twice and continue to have the same issue.
All google searches result in useless forum threads about the Scotia Bank app causing this issue. I don't have that app, so it's gotta be something else.

It's caused by latest versions of google play services app. Older versions doesn't have this bug. Uninstall google play services update and "Capacity for NFC Services Full" message is gone forever. But I know It isn't a solution Only google can fix it...

Yeah, I figured Google Play Services was the issue, but if I uninstall and roll back to the original version the phone ships with, it isn't compatible with Google apps (music, youtube, etc). I was just hoping there was a better fix. For now, I've simply disabled NFC and turn it on before I use Android Pay. The extra clicks aren't really a big deal since I don't have a fingerprint scanner and need to touch the screen to unlock anyway. Plus, I don't use AP often enough to bother me. Thanks for the confirmation though!
Edit - after further thought, if Google Play Services is the cause, then why aren't more people affected by this and why wasn't my device affected all along. I only recently rolled back to KK and this issue started. The Google Play Services version is still the same, right?
As an Android developer who is working on NFC payment in a mobile wallet, I can tell that our team identified the source of the problem to reside in Sony's Android modifications. No other platform produces these errors. I can't yet link the forum thread, but google for "sony xperia off host apdu service capacity full", the result from talk.sonymobile.com will show further details.
So you can probably stop looking for the cause in Google products, or 3rd party wallet/banking apps. They (we) also suffer from this issue.
Sony isn't responding in the referenced thread, so this may not be fixed soon.
Sorry to tell bad news.
my phone has this issue today, it began right AFTER i did a factory reset... just wanted to clear it off and start again... now this??

The scary thing is this post was made 30-JAN-2016 and it's still being experienced.
Bought a Chinese Refurb Xperia Z3 Compact.
Android 4.4.4
Build 23.0.A.2.98
I'd only installed FTP Server Pro (to test 802.11ac bandwidth) by The Olive tree on an otherwise stock Z3C and after enabling NFC, the "NFC full" error message started popping up.
I followed the instructions above and managed to clear the cache/data on everything except one Twitter service which I couldn't stop.
After a reboot from safe mode, the phone is not showing the NFC error message.
I have enabled NFC and used it with a couple of NFC Bluetooth speakers and NFC tags around the house and it's working without errors.
Fingers cross, I won't see this message again.
Thnx
My Z3 Compact was running Android 5.0.2 since 2.5 years and I never encountered this pop-up. I never used NFC.
I changed to another mobile operator, and as soon as I replaced the SIM in my phone, I started getting this pop-up, saying that the space is 174% used.
I suspect the SIM being pre-configured for Orange Cash, although the application is not installed on my phone.
I tried the various workarounds mentioned in this thread and on Sony's forum, but none worked.
This phone is rooted, and I often get this pop-up when some "sudo" tasks are launched (kill process, freeze application, ...).
I have run out of ideas...
For those who still strugle with this shi* and clearing cache is not working:
1. Download and install any payment app, doesn't matter, won't use. I have Tap & go
2. Enable NFC
3. Go to Touch & pay in device section
4. Change from google play to installed app.
You can now disable NFC, no popup should occure

SuperSU working but not how it normally does?!?

SuperSU doesn't seem to be working the way it always has on my other devices in the past. After successfully flashing TWRP 2.8.7.0 [6.0] EN (by Sminki *xda* repack) on my Honor 7 with multi-tool and then installing SuperSU via TWRP and gaining root access, I rebooted my phone and immediately Google Play wanted me to update the SuperSU app. I updated the SuperSU app and also installed SuperSU Pro that I had purchased previously on another device. I then installed terminal emulator so I could confirm that I had root access by running the su command. However after running the terminal emulator and attempting to use the su command nothing happened. I didn't get an error that I would expect if root wasn't present such as su not found, it just seems to sit there waiting. It then occurred to me that I hadn't received the usual popup from SuperSU asking me whether I wanted to grant root permission.
From what I have been able to work out I do have root access but for whatever reason SuperSU is not displaying its message asking me to grant or deny access. I have managed to establish that I do have root by going into the SuperSU settings and setting the default access as grant rather than prompt after which terminal emulator is able to use the su command.
Does anyone know how I can get the prompt to work? I would rather have SuperSU prompt me when an app requests root access for security reasons since giving any app that requests root unfettered access probably isn't the best idea.
If your problem has anything to do with SSU Pro then I dont say nothing cause dont use it.
Anyway going the same procedure as you I had, after GPlay update, the problem when trying to open SSU with message "SSU binary cant be found" or sth like this. However my SSU has been working (at least it did look alike) giving prompts.
The solution was SSU cleanup, copying and installing SSU once again. If you check some threads here you will find some kinds of initial problems with SSU are quite common.
It looks like it is H7 speciality ;p. You need to flash B330 twice for 100% and you need to install SSU twice ;p
ps. Also "Draw over other apps" on but it was automatic - at least for me

Thanks. Seems to be working now. Also disabling doze altogether on marshmallow seems to have solved a lot of other issues I was having since the marshmallow update and subsequent custom recovery and root install.

No I mean Marshmallows built in doze feature. I have the switches you're talking about set to let the app keep running for important apps like SuperSU anyway but they only affect EMUIs own power manager. Doze and EMUIs power manager seem to fight each other anyway and I don't like how doze stops my notifications coming through with some apps and interferes with other apps that I like to leave running all the time like AcDisplay.
I completely disabled doze altogether using "dumpsys deviceidle disable" in terminal emulator or using adb shell. The only problem is that it will be re-enabled after a reboot so I used the universal init.d app to run an init.d script on every boot to disable it again since the honor 7 kernel doesn't natively support init.d. I have all the apps that I had on lollipop (plus some more that I didn't have on lollipop, since I didn't have root when I used lollipop) set up exactly the way they were then and let EMUI handle the power management. I get about the same battery life that I had in lollipop which is fine for me since I charge it fully every night anyway.
I am just in process of developing opinion on that. For sure made one mistake prefering Google Clock over Huawei (and uninstalling the latter) but now even with adequate settings (for example it should have auto-start set by PM Plus add-on for Phone Manager) I am not so sure of my alarms ; ) I have been accustomed to Vanilla Android till now.
Ok. I had to do my lecture on MM Doze & App Standby functions. Also I am newbie on EMUI.
It looks like that many important things (background GPS runnings apps, notifications, alarms) can be double complicated on MM Huawei :/ (not to mention other EMUI problems e.g. with lock screen)
We have clean MM Android with its problems even for Nexus owners, then we have EMUI with its own background / notifications problems.
So 'Ignore optimisations' switch is by Google. You do not use it but maybe know which Google / Huawei apps should have optimizations off? (I have there Android System WebView - why? Google product should have it invisible, Fused Locations - the same, HiSuite ?, HwAps ?)
Anyway people report that it does not help for GPS tracking apps shutdown problems, but it is rather related to EMUI I think.
PS. 1. I do not think Huawei / Google power managers fight in any way. Huawei power manager stricly speaking these are drivers for hardware needed + basic user power handling setup.
What they did on higher level is this "keeps running after screen off" switch but I would not be so sure if this, set one or the other way (and Huawei soft in general), works properly with GCM messages and other wakeups. One should keep in mind that Huawei sells a lot without Google apps at all.
PS.1.b. Some apps need some changes to work properly with Doze. They are not allowed now to do what they like and when they like. And if they have to say sth they must use GCM message , if they have sth important to say they must use GCM high priority message. Android 5.1 API level 22 alarms do not fire now, there are 2 new methods from what I read. And Google could block spamming "high priority messages". So idea & direction is good I think. For not MM updated apps put them in Ignored.
PS2. In my opinion also you should not confuse B330 power handling issues with Doze.
It could be just Huawei optimizing things: taking away fast charging switch because it is on default now, making changes to power handling etc. or not making changes needed so now it could be the problem with Android. People claiming worse battery life for B330 claim mostly best on B320.

What's wrong with the Google clock? And what problems did you have after uninstalling the Huawei clock? I use the Google clock as my main clock app and have had no issues with it on either lollipop or marshmallow even after uninstalling the Huawei clock.

Agreed. While EMUI does have some of its own features that can be useful a lot of things are twice as complicated as they need to be. I have generally found that just allowing all apps that have notifications you want to receive e.g. twitter set to be allowed to autostart and run in the background as much as they like seems to reduce issues with notifications (still not worked out if it completely stopped any issues), and even then if I want notifications to display correctly on the lockscreen, not only do I need to allow them for each particular app on the lockscreen through the notification manager I still have to use a lockscreen replacement which in my case is AcDisplay. To be honest I have every app set to run on autostart and in the background and I still haven't found that it has much impact on battery life and this seems to solves a lot of these kinds of issues for me. My previous phone (Samsung Galaxy A3) used touchwiz and never had any of these options so I've always assumed that touchwiz/android allowed apps to run when they wanted and access what they wanted within the scope of their permissions and everything always worked fine, admittedly battery life was an issue on that phone but it had a much smaller battery capacity than the Honor 7 and it still lasted me most of a day.

I tried messing with the Ignore optimisations switch when I first upgraded to Marshmallow and it didn't seem to make any difference apps were still being afflicted with issues. I asked honor uk exactly what it did and whether it was for doze or not and they didn't know. I'm sure if I spoke Chinese and asked the Chinese customer service they would be able to tell me straight away but I never managed to find out. Even with doze disabled completely on my device I still have it set to ignore optimisations for all apps in case its something to do with EMUI.

What I meant by fight is that the 2 have their own settings rather than these being integrated with each other. So for example when specify that I want an app to be able to run in the background while the screen is off in an ideal world this would also tell Google's doze that I do not want it to doze that app. otherwise I have to effectively set the same thing twice even though it may be called different things.

I like the idea of doze in general and I'm generally a fan of most things that google do with android. If i was running a nexus or an AOSP rom I would definitely leave doze activated and only disable its optimization for apps that either coded with doze in mind or apps which I personally consider to be high priority regardless of whether google agrees such as twitter. I lie to get twitter notification that I have enabled as soon as the tweet they link to is tweeted not at the intervals that doze allows apps to update at. But that's a personal thing rather than an issue with the idea. So for YouTube notifications for example I would be quite happy for doze to run the show.

My intention has never been to confuse EMUI's power handling with Doze. I have just been trying to simplify the issue for me. as I have already said I generally allow any apps to do what they want both in EMUI's settings and by disabling doze as its simpler that way for me. Battery has never been an issue for me with either lollipop (B180) or marshmallow (B330) for me personally but i'm sure for some people it can be.

nothing wrong, in fact I've chosen it deliberately.
Basically prefer Google apps cause they can be updated and whats more new features are added from time to time, with let's say B330 stock you are left with B330 stock unless and if Huawei pushes sth new.
Just for some producers ROM's there are sometimes apps good enough and also interconnected on some levels with launcher / lock screen / power management that it is better to leave them & even make use of them.

It cant be integrated, it is Google licensed system. Doze & App standby these are powerfull, long-term features.
This EMUI function is just easy switch to kill sth after screen off. Not sure of it
Also not sure of this auto-start PM Plus utility It is not only auto-start on system start but also start on events. Powerfull mess with many apps without granular controls.
However I use both ;p
edit. ok, it looks you're right about Doze. I.e. Huawei Doze problem. Here for Mate 8:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64827731&postcount=15
Not solved as I see (but no time to read everything)
So Paul @paulobrien solution is with his ROM, your solution is to shut down Doze, I would prefer Doze properly working on (rooted) stock solution

I have the same problem on my tablet Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 Pro.
Please explain exactly what supposed to mean is "SSU cleanup, copying and installing SSU once again".
If one makes SSU cleanup then root access will flee for good and installing SSU again encounter the stark barrier, right?
If of course by "cleanup" you mean SuperSU's SETTINGS -> CLEANUP -> Reinstall (?)
@ioy
Do you have EMUI 4.0 on your tablet?
Some tips & tricks work between some Huawei models but for sure not each on everyone...
Anyway I made (in SSU) cleanup for full unroot (if I remember correctly :/) and by "copying & installing" I mean H7 procedure to copy and install via TWRP.
So full unroot and full root once again and in my case it solved my problem.
@adxuser, and what is EMUI 4.0 and how to check if it is on the tablet?
Where to learn about these tip & tricks?
I do not have TWRP because I wanted to have warranty still intact so not unlocked bootloader, and that's why I have unrooted with KingRooot and afterwards switched to SuperSU with SuperSume.
Please, respond...
How to use cleanup options in SuperSu, there're several ones intended for switching to another su application - all of them work the way they need TWRP or maybe it is possible to switchin the system (booted)?

Emotion^^ User Interfece - Huawei visual & control overlay over Android.
For your http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_mediapad_t1_8_0-6705.php 4.3 not upgradeble Android it is probably 2.0? (settings > about).
Tips & tricks those are some common to EMUI solutions - working on many Huawei models. They are nowhere together to be found, you have to search in all Huawei models if you are looking for sth. special. Anyway as you probably understand from JellyBean EMUI no.x to MM EMUI no.4.0 (or 4.1) that is a long way (some common things could even work however).
And also I am not a root specialist but if you have a locked bootloader SSU will never work so make a full cleanup and do not try again
Maybe this KingRoot will work but search for info on that.
ps. in most "normal" countries unlocked bootloader hasn't got anything to warranty.
Yes, KingRoot worked normally, prompt popup windows worked neatly.
However, Huawei itself warns if you unlock the bootloader then they will not help you anymore in case of trouble. And as you maybe know already, Huawei official assistance is needed in doing unlocking bootloader, it is done through their site and first this terrible warning is displayed... (presumably they register phone's IMEI, serial number and these data is then spread to warranty service outposts worldwide)
Yes, they can track and they probably track a lot more easily
Regarding warranty it may and it vary from continent/country to continent/country but local (e.g. european) regulations take effect on that matter.
So Huawei China can even track what I did with the phone yesterday at 6pm but when I am able to relock the phone (even with status relocked) and it could be seen that it is malfunctioning because of hardware failure then I am talking to Huawei in Europe and I am totally not interested what Huawei China has to say.
So sometimes there are some commom myths and you should check (in a proper way ) what are the possibilities.
And you have cited wrong model, this one is Huawei MediaPad T1 PRO LTE:
http://www.gsmchoice.com/en/catalogue/huawei/mediapadt18.0lte/Huawei-MediaPad-T1-8.0-LTE.html
It has 4.4.4 Android version, and Emotion UI version 2.3, so what are these tips & tricks for this?
Please try to provide any clue, about those tips& tricks in respect of popup windows, as as I can see usual popups for any application are not present in this Huawei model... Apparently something must block them in a regular manner...

Quite possibly. Just a quick look.

Allright, how is it possible to switch off / disable this EMUI? What to freeze without bricking the phone? Presumably indeed this blocks popup windows itself and at all it seems providing no gain, plain Android is better and there are many apps on PlayStore with genius functions and full user's control, so please which system or internal memory apks are responsible for this EMUI and one normally can freeze them thus freeing the 'core' Android system from this dubious attraction?

Camera app issues

Hello all, for quite some time now I had some issues with the camera that I didn't care about but it's getting more and more frustrating. Maybe some of you had this issues and found a fix that can help me also...
Around the time that I got the android 10 update in January, each time I try to take a photo, the first photo since I open the camera app, the app freezes for some seconds and it disconnects my watch from the phone... I thought it might be a Samsung issue since I use the Galaxy watch plugin to connect the watch to the phone. Later on I discovered that the camera app actually disconnects all bluetooth devices when it takes the first picture, I had my wf-1000xm3 connected to my phone and listening to some music and tried to take a photo... It disconnected my watch, my headphones, everything. There are times when it fails to focus, the app freezes and it crashes afterwards...
The second issue is with the video recording. I don't usually do a lot of video recordings with the camera app(did some with the cinealta app with no issues) so I didn't notice this until yesterday. When I try to record a video 9 times out of 10 the app freezes and crashes.
I reseted the app, erased the data, don't know what to do more.
Any thoughts?

personally with each update I make a new reinstallation which allows like on any devices to limit a lot of problems and the update in January allowed me to solve the camera problems. I can only advise you to reinstall the software with Xperia companion or new Flasher but not from the settings of the smartphone which is a completely different method

Thanks for the reply, I will try to reinstall the software via the Xperia Companion, will have to get home for that... I use linux for most of the time.
If for every update I have to manually do this via some software on a computer I feel like I traveled back in time 15 years, I will gladly dispose of this phone...

it is not necessary to do it all the time for example in the case of small security updates. But when migrating to a major version or large patches it is preferable. For example for my pc for big updates I always do it from an iso it prevents a problem from growing in case there are corrupt system files

Ok, I've installed Xperia Companion on macOS, I have the option to software repair but it says that it completely resets my device. The backup option is disabled since 2019 and the only backup that I can do is to manually copy all the files from the phone to the computer....
If I get this right is that there is no way of completely back-up the phone? Settings, alarms, apps etc.? Is there a way to do this?
I don't want to start putting everything back manually.

I have never encountered problems with everything given parameters (wifi Key, screen, alarms ...) are saved, SMS, contact, calls, same for applications but it supports Google backup all applications do are not compatible. Same for the passwords and identifiers of the applications but you must have accepted the popup google lock when it appeared for the first time. To see if there is a backup look in settings> system> backup. after the restoring of the data obviously depends on the speed of your internet connection. By cons, all that is banking applications do not have backup (a security issue)
Google synchronisation can save a lot of your parameters, message, app and some app settings. I did a manual synchro on the google account just to be sure before doing a factory reset, also be sure to save your launcher settings if you have a custom one (forgot about this one and got a back up from july -_-). Check if your messaging apps need a manual backup or if it can be done via Clouds. Of course, you can't be sure everything will be the same.
You need to manually save your media of course, photo, video and documents, if they are not uploaded on some clouds.
My Camera app is laggy and its getting more annoying by the day :|. I have tried to clear cache of app and also cleared storage with no luck. My next course of action is to do a factory reset but I don't want to do that if this will not solve the issue. Anyone with a factory reset and solved camera issues? Running Customized NOBA and 55.1.A.3.149-R5B.
Is NOBA a custom rom? Maybe that's what mess up with your stock app?
NOBA is stock Norway firmware
Ho, ok. So maybe a factory reset can be the solution. Otherwise, try to reach the support. But they will probably ask to try a factory reset first.

removing system apps

Has anyone here uses package disabler pro or adb to remove bloatware and/or system apps? If so which apps did you disable/remove? Did it affect performance and/or battery life at all?
I used the ADB method. That said, some of the software (mostly pre-installed games) can be uninstalled normally, which is nice.
For the rest, I used ADB commands in Fastboot to remove them.
I was working mostly blind, since I hadn't seen anyone with a list, but I think I wound up nuking somewhere between two and three dozen system apps.
Sadly, I didn't write out a list. I tried to err on the side of caution and not nuke anything that sounded important.
Crap like the Game of Thrones game, CNN app and other news apps, radio apps, LG versions of stuff I was using Google apps of (most LG software, actually).
I left things like LG Home and LG Dual Screen installed. Obviously didn't touch System UI or anything that seemed critical.
I also removed some AT&T garbage I don't want or need.
I just Googled up generic instructions and winged it after that.
I did all this on my first day with the phone (early April) so I really don't have any way to compare performance or battery life before and after.
But I haven't had a single performance issue with this phone in over a month of use, and battery has been absolutely beastly.
(I think you've seen a comprehensive post I made in another thread of yours that shows my software environment and how I replaced pretty much everything (launcher, navigation gesture, live wallpaper, etc.) with third-party software that I prefer).

What's the benefits to disabling all of this stuff? I've spent years debloating my devices and never actually noticed any benefit to it. It's a genuine question, as I'm deciding whether or not to do it myself as well

For one, it just gets rid of apps and icons for crap I never wanted to begin with. I know that most third-party launchers have options to hide apps, but I wanted a solution that was a tad more permanent (though without root, this isn't a 100% wiping of these apps. It's just the best we can manage without root). Since I tend to use Google's main suite of apps for most things, and replace things like my launcher, navigation gestures, and other critical parts of the software environment with third-party solutions, I don't really want a lot of overlapping apps that I'm never going to use. So nuking things like OEM or Carrier versions of Google apps is usually one of my first priorities. Also bull**** like Device Wellness apps, Carrier promotional apps and games, duplicate contacts, gallery, keyboard, dialer, email, contacts, calendar, messaging and browser apps. All that stuff goes. I have no use for two or three different versions of all these apps on my device. I love Chrome, Google Photos, the Google Dialer, Google Contacts, Google Calendar, Google's RCS-enabled Messaging app, etc.
So for me, it's to de-clutter and to make sure I don't have duplicate functionality potentially running in the background eating up system resources, RAM, or mobile data. As long as you don't accidentally nuke something critical to the system, there's no real harm in de-bloating, even if on modern flaghsips with beastly hardware and tons of RAM, there's little performance or battery life to be gained by doing so. If nothing else, I try to keep the number of installed apps in the low 100s, and this helps on that count.

I used the following guide:

I believe I had the LG Mobile Drivers and Minimalist ADB & Fastboot already installed from my V30 days, so I skipped the first few steps, IIRC.
Or maybe I downloaded new versions and installed those. I don't remember anymore.

LG Package Disabler, or some such? I think it's still around.
I've heard of it, though I've never actually used it.
Nor do I know if it's been updated to support the V60.
Edit - I think this is it. And there's one review that suggests that it works on the V60.

I think some of those, like the Android Device Wizard and LG Device Wizard are basically one-time apps that run whenever a phone is factory reset.
Basically, the new phone set-up screens and activations you went through when you first powered your device on after purchasing and receiving it.
They may be automatically flagged to disable themselves after that first-time run so that they don't continue to run anytime you reboot the device.
Honestly, that's just a guess, because I don't know.
I don't know about the rest of them, but you can probably Google them.

I did some quick research:
com.lge.gdec.client seems to be related to the LG G-DEC portal.
https://gdec.lge.com/memLogin.do?req_lang=en
I don't have a log-in, nor do I know how to procure one, but I highly suspect that this is NOT a consumer-level feature or portal.
Perhaps it's for LG developers or existing LG employees. But if it's not consumer-level, then it's not surprising that the service is disabled by default.
LG GCUV (com.lge.gcuv) seems to be related to yet another LG sign-in portal called, appropriately enough, GCUV.
http://india.gcuv.lge.com/
This one seems to be specific to LG users (or developers or sales reps) in India, and it makes sense that it would be disabled on devices not intended for Indian markets.
Like G-DEC, I don't have a log-in for this, nor the means to procure one. I suspect this is another service that is not intended for everyday consumers.
I cannot find any information on Enabler Customizer (com.lge.smartenabler). Just questions about what it is here on XDA and on Reddit, with no one apparently knowing the answer.
So you might be asking yourself why system apps for services and log-ins not intended for consumers (or intended only for specific regions/markets) are doing on our phones?
The simple answer, most likely, is that they probably want to maintain and update as few system images as possible and thus, try to make them as homogenous as possible, disabling things not intended for this market or that market, as needed. Considering how slow LG typically are in releasing new updates for even their newest phones (let alone their older ones that have not yet technically seen support hit end-of-life), I'm OK with them trying to keep down the number of system images they need to work on. Especially if they pre-disable stuff not relevant to us without us needing to do it ourselves.

That app basically does the same as disabling the apps. It won't stop Chrome from re-enabling every day. I'll try your adb commands next. So tired of that crap app doing this

I imagine the ADB commands will work. I don't plan on disabling Chrome, because I use it every day.
But when you zap a package using Fastboot, the app will still actually show up in your Apps listing under Settings, but it'll have a "not installed" next to it.
If you do a factory reset, they'll all revert and you'd need to use the Fastboot ADB commands to nuke them again.
So they're kind of half-gone.
It's not quite as comprehensive as using root to completely delete them from the system partition.
But it's the best we've got outside of root.
I can confirm this package disabler works to disable any app on the V60 which is literally the only thing I typically do when rooting now that I have adguard and youtube vanced... so I dont need root access anymore thanks to that package disabler app. The phone is also fast enough for me to not need access to any type of speed tweaking of the cpu or anything. This is the first phone I can use without root thanks to that dev.
I have significantly improved my charging speed issues and battery drain issues seem to finally drain at a normal rate rather than unexplainably quick. Everything I use still works, im experienced at minimal services tho from every device ive ever owned, pc and phone. Yes it does make a significant difference to not be running so many unnecessary processes.

Do you have a list of what you disabled?
I have the tmobile varient... This is the xml contents of the things I disabled for a stock experience. Note: I dont use google voice assistant or any pen input, nfc, or always on display... I also use youtube vanced for youtube and poweramp for music. Those are notable things I disabled imo, everything else is just added bloat to stock Android 10. Dont disable any LG Home apps as they power the navigation and also dual screens, this is safe you wont get any device bricking errors, you can always go back and toggle things on and off to your liking but this is the xml export of apps I disabled. You could copy and paste this and save as xml to import into the service disabler.

Again, all core phone features definately work like internet, messaging, phone calls, fingerprint, location, cameras, all of it as normal. There are a couple debatable apps like
com.lge.ia.task.smartsetting where I debate their impact on LGs battery management because I do believe it is possible for them to have added a particular app that improved on android 10s battery but for me im good with running with just things I know come with stock + dont break the system ui or dual screen functionality.
I just feel like companies with 1000s of employees force develop apps just to say they did something each week (+brag about in ads), and to act as if Google hasnt done a good enough job... usually companys have a couple solid apps but mostly bulky junk they think just because a phones specs are able to run a lot of things at once, its okay to toss in all kinds of extra code for the phone to have to deal with.

I have the tmobile varient... This is the xml contents of the things I disabled for a stock experience. Note: I dont use google voice assistant or any pen input, nfc, or always on display... I also use youtube vanced for youtube and poweramp for music. Those are notable things I disabled imo, everything else is just added bloat to stock Android 10.

Awesome thanks man!
No problem, I will update this later on this week. Whats funny is that was my stable backup but not my very latest tweaking, when I went to export my very latest list, the app has a button to enable all disabled apps and I accidentally pressed it, so I lost those settings but am working on making sure the very best options are enabled and disabled. I will be testing and tweaking to update this base list this werk to find the cleanest, performance and battery life... (by trying out before and after of certain debatable services)
If you use this list and find a feature is disabled you use and you dont know which app it was let me know (ex google assistant) I will let you know which apps you need to reenable.
Off the top of my head, device health services and qualcomms devicestatisticservice (id suggest disabling this one) and lgs smartcare are some apps that are debatable on whether or not they are best to enable or disable..
I play a lot of fortnite (I know I know) but its literally the most battery draining thing you can do especially when combined with a bluetooth controller at full brightness, so battery performance is easy for me to monitor.. Also I was having an absolute misreable time with this device before I came here and saw that nonroot package disabler program was a thing.
