Anyone else still using their 5a?
The camera on mine has started acting up. Flash metering is off. About 75% of the time when taking a picture using flash, the camera messes up metering and it results in an image that is so underexposed it is close to all black.
It almost feels intentional. This doesn't come across as a hardware failure, but rather as something in software. And it started happening just as I started ignoring the repeated marketing emails from Google to upgrade my phone.
Anyone else having issues like these, or is it just me?
The plan was to just grab a third party ROM once official support ends, and keep using this thing as long as possible, since I don't like any new phones these days... Now I wonder if that is going to be viable...
