Camera won't start up - Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anybody experience this issue on your XTZ?
The camera app does not start the camera. It just goes to a dark grey screen with subtle background details (similar to some sort of menu UI).
I'm able to click the date menu, multi-windows menu ok. It just seems like the camera won't turn on.
I tried restarting the app and restarting the tablet but still the same thing; it gets stuck at the dark grey screen.
Any idea how to fix it?

Screen grey halo beaming from second screen

I might have an issue with my phone. I just wanted to check if anyone had the same problem.
When i have a white screen i get that grey beam coming from the second screen down on the white.
Is that normal or the screen is messed up ?
Also, on the second screen, when i get a notification that has a white background, it seems a little black.

I've noticed the same problem. I think it's due to the secondary screen led not being as brightly lit as the main one. It should look better when the second screen is active.

bright bar on top of my screen - android 5.1.1

Hello together
I have kind of a strange problem. Yesterday I got my new tablet (IRULU X1S) and it's a pretty neat thing, runs fast and everthing was working fine.
Then I have been using the chrome browser and let the tablet lie around. When the screen was darkening (because of idle) I turned the tablet and the screen tilted. Since then there is a bright bar on top of my screen (if I hold the phone upright).
When I tilt the Phone the bright bar stays at the same place, meaning the bar is now on the side.
Its almost as thick as the status bar and it's way brighter than the rest of the screen.
One could say the rest of the screen still seems "darkened".
What is really really weird is, the bright bar is even visible if I enter the phone "root" menu (pressing vol down und power). The top pixels seem brighter than the rest.
Is this a known Android poblem? It can't be a burn in, because it happened after tilting the screen and is there since then.
I tried to remove all apps that I installed and even factory reset the tablet. The bright bar is there in every screen, on the bootscreen and also in the "root" menu. Is there maybe a way to reset the phone to all defaults, e.g. putting a new OS on the phone? Because it has to be a software bug...
Thanks for reading and I hope you have some ideas how to fix this!

screen flickering problem

So recently the bottom portion of my phones screen, about the size and place of the nav bar, has started flickering. The nav bar is disabled, I'm using pie controls, though I did test turning it back on and it did nothing. It's running CM12.1.
Can anyone help? Any idea what's causing this?
So about a quarter of the screen up there is now a flickering line, everywhere below that line now produces afterimages as what's on the screen changes.
Pretty sure it's a hardware issue, I can even see the effect during the CM startup animation.

'Curved Panoramic Light' doesn't work properly

Hi everyone ,
I've got the chinese Find X 256Gb (PAHM00) and there are issues with the 'curved panoramic light'.
If somebody is calling me, the screen lights up, showing the number and the 'curved panoramic light' lights up too.
But the main problems are the messages and notifications. If my phone lays down for a while (standby) and i recieve a message, the screen lights up showing the message on a banner and turns off after a few seconds, no 'curved panoramic light'. I tried several different settings/options, but there are always only two results: 1. as mentioned above, 2. the screen stays black and the phone just rings, no 'curved panoramic light'.
One time, the phone was in my pocket and i recieved a message, I immediately pulled it out, the screen was black and the 'curved panoramic light' lit up, but only two times. I can't reproduce this.
What's wrong with my phone? I even did a factory-reset, but without positive results.
Does anybody have the same problems or a solution?
Thanks.

Settings --> Smart & Convenient --> Gesture & Motion --> Turn off "Screen-off Gestures"
This option is already turned off. The 'Raise to Turn On Screen' is off too.

Panoramic ligth does work here, but only 2 times. I believe that's normal. So don't expect it to keep flashing, it's just 2 times and that's it.. (Probably would kill the battery if it kept flashing.
No, Oppo says: 'When someone is calling or there are new notifications that just came in, the curved edges will light up, continuously.' ( I can't put in the Oppo link ) . On the website, they also say, that the curved light doesn't work if 'Turn On Screen Notifications' is enabled and I think that this is my problem, but I don't have this setting in my menu.
Same question i want to ask.
Any idea how to keep the light flashing until i read the message?
hope they fix Light Options...
I’ve only ever seen 2x for notifications and infinite for calls. I think you’re experiencing the feature exactly as designed
Same here. Could you fix it? I mean, if this is how it's supposed to work , it's pointless.

As for now, this feature is ridiculous. I couldn't find a solution. Hopping Oppo will fix it with an update.
By the way: can anyone tell, if it is the same for the 'global' version?
The Edge panoramic light is working like i had hoped it would. I receive the same problem as well. If anyone know which exact method to have the settings too, that would help greatly as I'm about to loose my mind with this phone and its mysterious operational system.

are you saying if you have lock screen magazine on it will work more effectively, please clarify thanks .
Mine works completely fine. Have global version CPH1871EX.
I have the screen clock on standby active and also the lockscreen magazine.
Also please check if the Turn on Screen for Notifications in set to OFF in the Notifications & Status Bar settings. Might be the reason why your display switches on instead of showcasing the panaromic notification light. BTW the notification light comes only twice over the edges and not more.
Here, I got it working after hours of try and error. Actually, it was a theme issue for me. First of all I turned off "Turn on screen for notifications" option in "Notification and statusbar" menu. This is what I did next:
0. Set lockscreen from the default theme
1. Turn on Lockscreen Magazine
2. Click on a like button, read a story
3. Turn off Lockscreen Magazine
4. Open Themes -> me -> my wallpapers
5. Set any wallpaper as lockscreen one

screen goes off completely in landscape games.

Whenever I open a game or app that defaults to landscape, the screen goes black. The only way to get out of it is by swiping from the side like the gesture to go home. If I turn my phone off while my screen is black, the only way to get the screen back is to restart the phone. Also, I can only see the game if I go home and go back into the game or app from the recents menu. I'm not sure if anyone else has this issue and any help would be appreciated.
Also, root isn't the issue as I unrooted my phone and the issue still occurred.
Edit: it started working again after msm reset.
Edit2: Cause was setting animation speeds to 0.25x
