Whatsapp camera issue

[auceto63]

Hi at all,
I've a problem with whatsapp's camera.
I state that the stock camera, gcam, opencamera is ok, but in whatsapp when I try to take a shot, the photo is all green with normal picture in a rectangle in the right up corner of the picture itself, all the rest of the photo is transparent green image.
the strange thing is that if I use a little bit of zoom the shot is ok.

I don't noticed when this issue appears, probabily in one of the last whatsapp update.

I cleaned whatsapp cache, but I do not uninstall/Install the app yet.

My android version is 8.1 with november update.

Some idea for solution.

Take a look on the attachment to undestand the issue.

thank a lot and merry Xmas at all

Augusto

PS: the front camera is OK in Whatsapp

I have the same problem since last update of whatsapp.
As a temporary fix i'm using an old version of WA (2.18.343), but it started asking to update the app.
I think the problem is due to the enabling of the camera2api, same problem with a Mi A2 lite

It's a problem using the newer 4.* Pie Kernel with the stock camera that is designed got 3.* Kernel

I have faced the same issue,
As a temporary fix, turn on the flash from WhatsApp camera whenever taking a photo.

Started happening to me after I enabled camera2api. Usually I just take a picture with the camera app and send that one.

i am also facing this issue in 8.0 stock rom.
it is almost surely a problem with whatsapp itself.

Hello I have the same problem after the last update. I believe the problem is from the last application version.

I have the same issue.

It really looks like an issue with Whatsapp itself or any whatsapp-internal camera library.
Normal Cam App works fine.

Solution: Use Flash for Picures. It does not mess up the Photo if enabled.

It does not only look 3/4 green but also there is a shadow of other parts of the image in the "normal" part of the picture.
Maybe an issue with the dual camera?

Temp solution: Active Flash in whatsapp camera

Waiting for total solution:fingers-crossed:

mine problem solve after remove the magisk module to enable camera2api

Got same problem. Disabling camera2api is the thing to do. Apparently there is a compatibility issue with integrated camera software on whatsapp and phone's drivers maybe.

Also been having this piece of sh*t issue on all roms.

I had this problem too for so long, but it didn't affect me until when I decided to sell my phone.
Solution is :

1)Boot to your TWRP as Read Only
2)Follow this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zgxh7HTtZYQ, but you need to use 2 commands not just one, you need this
setprop persist.camera.HAL3.enabled 0

and this

setprop persist.camera.eis.enable 0
