HI everybody,
please help me, I have a problem with my camera flashlight , when I turn it on, it just flash and get off again, I also tried flashlight program and the same problem it gets on then off , I can't take picture with it or keeps it on
I tried many windows ver. , but the same problem is still exist
Can anybody help please, am I the only one who face this problem?
Not sure whether that is a hardware or software issue - in theory it could be either.
One way to rule out a software issue would be to do a full backup and then a hard reset to get back to factory settings. Before restoring the backup try the camera / flashlight. If it works correctly then it was a software issue.
You can then restore the backup, but the problem MAY return.
If you do not have a full backup program then you would have to re-load any software and settings you have installed since getting the phone.

sounds not good my friend!
you allready tried to uninstall all led related software (until the out of the box ones)?
crash could be related through programs (wrong call/defective kernel module; both possible with nand corruption), so you can first try to hard-reset your phone. the last resort before i would think of an hardware error would be a reflash: flash the latest rom!
hardware:
does the flash work (even for an instant)?
perhaps there is a bad(short) circuit in one of the leds which causes a driver related kernel panic?
therefore we could further help you:
please search for logcat and provide a crash log!
hope a hard reset or rom-reflash will fix it for you!
best wishes,
markus
Hi, I never root my phone or flash a custom ROM.
The problems was started when I flashed a new ROM from sammobile of another country, my phone comes with 4.2 and I flashed a 4.3.
I flashed newer ROM from only Vodafone-Spain (only those really are my official supplier), and then I update ever with Samsung KIES, (no Knox counter)
So, with Andorid 4.3 I had more problems than now with 4.4, now the only problem is with WIFI
I can use normally, with screen ON, the problem is when sleep for a long time (more than 1 hour) when I touch a button I see the unlock screen, but does not seem to work the touch screen, and screen go off after a seconds, if I touch other button the screen don't go on. And then, after aprox 30s it reboot itself, and show a window telling that the Process System is not responding, do you want to close?, and two buttons, close or wait.
I tried to start my phone in Secure Mode and I have the same problem, so it is not an app, it is the ROM.
I do at least 2 Factory Reset, but the problem is still there.
I think it is a software problem and not a hardware problem, because the problem start when I update to Android 4.3
I tried the trick WIFI Power save Mode OFF (on dialer, *#0011# -> WIFI -> Power save mode OFF) and never reboot automatically, so the problem I think it is with this power save mode. But if I turn off, when WIFI is ON, the battery drain fast.
In the samsung shop they tell me that first will format my phone to see if the problem solve and try for a time, if not solve, then I have to send by mail... and I will not send it because I know the time it will take to repair it is about 1-2 months and I need the phone for my work.
So is there another solution or something to try?

Since the first ROM (4.2) I flashed 3 or 4 ROMs from SamMobile, so I am not very optimistic. But I don't lost nothing, I will try it
I flash again the ROM, and after 2 days testing, the problem is still there.
Any other thing to try before send to samsung?
Please, give me another idea to try. I really have a problem with WIFI
This is how Wifi (some times) drain my battery when are not connected to a network. But the problem is worst when is connected, because it freeze and reboot.
Hello! You could fix the problem? I took suffering the same problem as your months, and I have not been solved, I'm for kicking the **** mobile! As may give so many problems with the wifi?

Yes I solve. So.. I don't solve it, it solve it self. One day I saw that I don't had wifi connection, then I saw that I don't any WIFI names stored, all was erased automatically, I don't know how.
But the result it, I don't have anymore a freeze or a reboot because wifi. ALL, absolute ALL run fine now. I had a lot of WIFI names stored, about 30-50, maybe this was the problem, a conflict with some of these names, but I'm not sure
No one update, reflash, factory reset, or start in safe mode was solve any problem, the problem solve it self... very strange.
If you try a factory reset, then don't restore all your mobile config. Try to install all apps manually, one by one. I ever restored my backuped config, and I think this was the problem.
Hope you can solve it

Thank you very much for answering so quickly.
Happens to me exactly what you do, but seems to have no solution.
I have tried more than 8 roms, stock or mods, and always fails.
At first I thought it would issue the modem or kernel, but after many tests, I do not ****ing know what is causing the problem.
I'm running out of solutions, anyway thanks for telling your case...
I'm glad that in the end one way or another, you have it fixed.
:good:

What happens when you fully wipe, flash a 4.4.2 rom, don't restore anything, not even your google account and don't install any apps.

Thanks for your interest! The truth is that it is very strange ...
If I remember correctly, already try what you mention me, but I kept going ... It's like at some point something had happened which change roms not seem to solve..
I'm considering installing a rom with 4 files and pit file, but do not know if this will help in something
Let's see if I can come up with the bug because it is becoming a pain in the ass
:good:
I would try what say Lenny1988. So the only change before solution and after solution, was a big crash on WIFi drivers/app/modem (don't sure) it self, and was deleted all my stored wifi access points that I had. It was a problem related to Wifi power save, if I disabled it then I had no reboots/freezes.
So, I would try a factory wipe and DON'T restore anything, and try for a couple days. If work, then you know a way to solve it.
Tell us if it works.
Hello there! I will update with the latest news!
I tried the recommended advice, but no luck...Not seem to affect him leave without restoring.
The only thing that seems to work and keep it running, is to disable wifi power saving system
you know....
Code:
1. Go to your phone dialer
2. Dial *#0011#
3. When you see the "ServiceMode" screen, press the left menu button
4. Select "WiFi"
5. See that "Wifi Power Save Mode" button that is "ON" - well turn it "OFF"
But this way drain your battery much faster,so it does not seem a good solution to the problem.
Curiously, the same phone, some people suffer this problem and others do not....
It may be hardware? or software?
If I find something, I'll note here.
Regards
PLEASE READ!!
Hello everyone! I have been facing a serious problem for a while now. I get a warning when i try to take a picture using the stock camera app. I can actually take one or two photos but then the phone crushes,a warning pops up and then the phone restarts. I searched a lot on the web but i didn't actually find the exact same issue. Many people complained about this and had a black screen whenever they open the camera app. I don't get black screen but the camera app crushes whenever i try to shoot. I tried all the suggested solutions but they were all in vain. The same thing happens with the front and rear camera. I really don't think it is a hardware problem because this happens with the official firmware and the touchwiz based roms. I had the same issue with the resurrection remix camera(no warning,the phone just restarts) but i found solution with lineage os 14.1 camera!! The camera actually works with lineage os. I ve been using it for a while now but we all know that it is so basic and incomparable with the stock camera.
Anyone having the exact same issue?
If it's not a hardware problem, have you tried doing a hard reset?
This will restore your phone to its initial, factory settings. Thus, any third-party apps or issues your phones is having will be erased.
Factory reset steps: https://www.unlockunit.com/blog/how-to-make-a-hard-reset-for-samsung-phones/
I tried all the suggested solutions in the android forums: factory reset,wipe cache,settings reset... None of them worked.
Did you drop this device or sat on it?
Try to take it to a phone repair shop and see if they can fix it.
Install a third party camera app from the play store and try (install few apps cameras) , if it works it's not a hardware issue, if your camera fails again it is passible a hardware problem.
I m sure it is a software problem. How can i fix that? Don't tell me to do a factory reset. I rooted my device. Is there any solution to do through the app systems or something. Can rooting actually help me fix that? How can i access all the camera related system files?
I hope you understand what i m trying to say

Try a free camera app, a custom Rom or just reflash your software with Odin. If the crash still happens it's a hardware bug, sorry.
I tried to flash with odin and use a free camera app. I had the warning in both of them. I tried many costom roms but the only working one is LineageOS 14.1 but the camera is so basic...

I still think this is a weird hardware bug, but try to install zero camera mod, maybe this will fix it somehow, or try a new micro SD.
