Please help me or assist me with fixing my phone camera. I am a noob to Android phones but I'm technical (MCSE,CNE, A+,Security+)
Problem:
My SGH-I337 is about 2 months old. I applied the UCUAMF3 update OTA and afterwards everything worked fine but I found the camera program took a long time to load and would only display a black screen. I would have to restart the phone and launch the camera first to get it to work. Today I continued to have this problem but could never get the camera to work. It would only display a black screen and I can touch the screen and see the focus square and I can select settings and change mode but it takes a long time. There is about a 15-30 second delay after touching a menu option on the screen. At first I was able to switch to the rear (screen) camera and it would work but eventually that stopped. If I let it sit on the screen with the camera I will here a beep every so often but it may be because I've touched the buttons. Everything else works fine and I have no problem with anything except the camera app or any app that tries to use the camera like Amazon to scan a barcode or Facebook to take a picture. Usually these apps become unresponsive and then quit. A couple times I got a message that said Camera Failed.
Things I tried:
Rebooting and removing battery
booting in to safe mode and the problem is the exact same
Force stoping camera app and doing a clear data and clear cache
Wiping cache partition.
Phone:
AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337
Update applied OTA on approximately 7/10
JDQ39.I337UCUAMF3
also tried factory reset
I also did a factory reset and the camera will not work. Only a black screen.

I'm starting to think this may be a hardware problem..

fyi: I had exactly the same problem before the update.
After the update, the problem persisted. I did a hard reset after updating and the problem went away. The problem has not returned since.

when you say hard reset is that the same thing as restoring to factory defaults?

Yes. I went into Settings>Accounts>Backup and reset>Factory data reset
Hardware or Software
So far I've done the hard reset twice via the hardware buttons and once from the software. I'm still puzzled if this is hardware or software. I read that the july update had new camera firmware and that is when my problem started. But since everyone is not having this problem I would guess it isn't a widespread. Still not sure if it is hardware or software. Which I could re-apply that July ROM again to see if that fixes it.
Hi all,
Wondering if anyone else has seen anything like what I have seen with my new Edge.
I've had it for a week - I love the phone, the camera, the performance - there's a ton to love. This is the first phone I have not rooted and hacked on day one in at least 6 years.
OTOH, I have experienced 3 issues with the phone, after never experiencing a single issue in almost a year with an s6.
S7 Edge International, 64GB SanDisk Extreme Plus SD card.
1. Last night, my phone was in my pocket while I was doing some stuff, and when I pulled it out, it was completely unresponsive. Black screen, no cap buttons, nothing. I didn't even remember how to force a reboot - I haven't had an issue like this with a phone in a long time. I tried charging it (maybe the battery had dies?) - nope. I tried recovery-mode buttons, no good. I stumbled upon vol down and power, and it rebooted fine. No repeats as of yet, but is this anything anyone else has seen?
2. A couple of days ago, the camera wouldn't save pictures. I do not know why. It would open, focus, and the screen would do screen things, as if the photo was taken, but it wouldn't save it and it couldn't be consulted. Oddly, WhatsApp could still take pictures. A reboot fixed the issue, and I've yet to see this repeat, and I did try.
3. This one has repeated several times. I use Spotify for music and PocketCasts for podcasts. Sometimes, when I try to start the sound (with or without headphones), playback starts (the counter advances), but there is no sound. Changing apps doesn't change anything. I thought initially it might be that Game mode was locking out sound resources, so I turned it off - no difference. I tried killing any and all apps that might be stealing the sound - no difference. Once, after dancing around the interface for a bit, it started working, but other times, no. Rebooting obviously fixes the problem. This morning, on the way to work, I experienced the issue, so I placed a phone call - and after the call, the issue was gone. Has anyone else seen anything like this?
That's very strange, especially for the Exynos. I would try a factory reset, if that doesn't fix it, I would request an exchange.
Ugh, a factory reset does not sound like fun at all.

Yes i have had this issue 2wice so far - except that in my case the screen was on (once got stuck on weather page, and another time while i was in google play)
But as yourself - nothing worked anymore - no button no screen nothing at all - vol.down+power is the only trick that worsk
I am too puzzled as in what is causing this - i was looking to install some sort of even viewer app to see if there is a log - but couldnt find one
I cannot imagine what it can be - but whatever it is it completely freezes the phone - the screen wont go off - and it would literally stay like this forever....

A reboot fixed the issue, and I've yet to see this repeat, and I did try.
I have also had this issue - but this is due to SD card not being read properly by the phone - this seems to be an issue with many users and again no idea what is causing it but i heard is due to poor SD tray design

this problem i have not had but i never used the headsets so who know
Overall the phone works OK i dont want to return it just for this - but i do want to understand what can cause esp issue 1 and somehow happy to see its not just me having it - so maybe some sort of RAM/Core mismanagement > IDK
Also i have not had any single system updates since i purchased it on the 8th - so hoping one will hit soon and fix the issues :silly:
BTW fix for the Camera Failed issue is to turn OFF the Smart Stay option
I can add something simillar:
- sometimes the camera wouldn't open at all (error) and every time this is solved only by reboot; 2 times in 5 days already
- sometimes when scrolling in the settings menu, there appears some bluring frames (like an "indecision" between top-bottom...)
I encountered a similar problem with the camera.
While I was capturing a Slow-mo video the phone was getting really hot (Exynos international version, 32GB) but I was like, yea I knew that the phone would become hot because of the chipset so I continued.
At 4:58 the phone would freeze, non responsive to any buttons. After a few minutes the phone would reboot but the video got deleted.
I did this 3 times to check if it could be repeated and I succeeded. 3 times it would stop at 4:58 and crash and burn.
The fix for this problem is to switch from saving photos/videos to SD card to internal storage.
Kind of disappointed because the SD slot was one of the biggest pros to buy the phone..
guys - the camera failure issue can be fixed (until they release an update OTA next week) by disabling smart stay - not sure if this can also fix the slo-mo thing
Try turning off the App Power Saving mode!! This fixed my phone and now i dont have these weird freezes no more!!
Hi all,
I have a black S7 Edge International version (Dual Sim version). The phone as a whole has been working great. I have been having certain issues though, they don't happen very often. So I'm not sure if its related to certain apps I have or if it's an issue with the phone.
Each issue happened on a separate day.
First problem: The phone froze when I was editing a photo on Adobe Lightroom. This was the first time I was using the app, so I launched after installing it. I tweaked a photo and noticed the phone lagging. They it froze, and I couldn't do anything on the screen. Nothing worked until I did a hard reset. Afterwards, the problem didn't occur again, although I haven't tried Lightroom since, so maybe I should, to see if the problem is with the app. Does this happen often with lightroom? Or could this be a phone issue?
Second Problem: On another day I had my phone randomly start vibrating, like it was receiving a call. I had just made three calls to my wife, and thought she was calling back. However, there was no call notification, and nothing on the drop down menu. There was also no ringtone. The phone kept vibrating, and wouldn't stop. I pressed the power button and reset, then the problem stopped.
Final problem: Today, I've been using the phone fine. However I was playing angry birds and then pressed the home button, so the game was still on it's memory, and being multitasked. I used the phone again a few times, then I noticed on the bottom that the game launcher circle (was on the bottom of my homescreen), even though the game was not open (still in the multitask window - I assumed) I tried to click the multitask window, and the button lit up, but nothing happened. The multitask window had frozen. Again it required a restart, and now it's working.
Given that I'm having these three issues (none have repeated themselves though), is this just the phone needing an OTA update, early phone bugs, specific 3rd party app issues, or is it a more serious problem?
Should I take the phone to Samsung and ask for a replacement, or should I wait it out?
Would love some advice from people, and would also like to hear if you've had similar problems.
Current firmware I'm on: G935FXXU1APB6
Thanks!
Does anyone have any feedback on this? Thanks!
I have the first problem on my phone.
But I didn't use adobe lightroom
and I've seen many user reported this problem in many different threads. it seen a known issue.
Thanks for that stone... Hopefully it's a bug... Would love to hear if anyone thinks that it requires a replacement... Also, i just found a dead pixel on the top corner of my phone... it's completely black...
Is that grounds for replacing the phone, or is samsung wishy washy about the whole thing?
I have the second problem; sudden vibrations with no reason, no app pending or anything else; I start to think it is associated with the Smart Alarm being activated (in Advanced settings).....
Anyway, really a bug, in fact the Smart Alarm and Smart Stay are known for having made other problems previously, but seems they didn't correct all the bugs.....

If there's a dead pixel I would return it.... There has been alot of people talking about freezing and rebooting... I've experienced too.... Most likely a software issue.... When I got the S6 last year my phone would reboot 3-5 times a day until a software update came out.... The continuous vibration I haven't heard anyone talk about... But if your still in you grace period I would get another phone for the pixels alone... Too nice and new to have to deal with that
Galaxy S7 edge
Hey, I have the same phone with the same firmware. I experienced the freezing right after I opened the camera from the lock-screen, it lasted for a few minutes and then went away. I'm waiting till Sunday to get the OTA and if I don't, I'm just going to update using Odin, considering how the firmware for the SM-G935FD and SM-G935F is the same.
Sounds good, thanks for the advice guys... I went to Samsung, and they said they would replace the phone for the dead pixel... Will take a week to arrive, but I'm just glad it's getting replaced...
I would return it immediately while it is within your return period.

Thanks Yerevan... I wanted to wait to see if I'd get an OTA update... Do you have the changelog for this firmware? What are the updates/improvements. THanks!
i mostly had camera freezes from lock screen and random reboots.... hopefully a software update will fix it
Most of the time, my Note 7 is instantly responsive no matter how heavily loaded it is.
Every few hours, though, it gets into a mode with serious UI-feedback lag. In this mode, when I tap any key or icon, the corresponding click-and-vibration feedback is delayed by up to one or two seconds. Often I can type several characters with no feedback, followed a second later by a rapid-fire sequence of the delayed clicks and vibrations.
When the phone is in lag mode, the lag occurs in all apps and with both keyboards I've tried (Samsung and Google). And it's not just during typing; tapping on any icon produces the same lag. Lag mode is not fixed by closing all apps, turning on Airplane mode, clearing the clipboard, switching to a different keyboard app, or clearing the keyboard cache or data. (Clearing the clipboard did seem to fix the problem on one occasion, but not subsequently.)
Rebooting the phone does fix the problem--until it comes back again a few hours later. I've tried booting into recovery and clearing the system cache, but the problem still comes back in a few hours. I have not had time to try a factory reset. But the phone is completely stock (APH1), no power-saving turned on, no debloating or esoteric settings or apps.
As I said above, most of the time the phone doesn't have this problem, no matter how many apps are running. And when the lag occurs, the phone is not hot and is not draining the battery. So it's not a matter of the phone being overloaded; rather, it's a specific bug in the UI feedback.
The problem arises at seemingly random times. I have not noticed any pattern as to what triggers it.
Here's a video demonstrating the problem, both for typing and for icon-tapping:
https://vid.me/iYya
And just for contrast, here's a video of the phone when it's working properly, with no UI-feedback delay:
https://vid.me/GF82
Again, when the phone is in lag-mode, it lags in all apps, for typing and for all icon-taps, etc. The videos show only one particular app for illustration.

Yes this pretty much seems to be happening across Note7...hope Samsung fixes this

I exactly have the same issue u clearly described above. My phone lags intermittently and no matter what I do, it doesn't go away. After some time, magically it comes back to normal.
Not sure how to fix this.. very frustrating!

Same thing for me as well. I've heard whispers it's an AT&T thing. Been trying to fix by turning off Battery Optimizer for certain apps and using package disabled. I've noticed it's most consistently caused by locking and unlocking again within a specific time window. Like if you're using the phone, then you put it to sleep, and come back within about 10 min, it does it's lag mode.
If anyone who's having this specific UI-lag problem tries a factory reset, please report whether or not the problem comes back after that.
I did the factory reset multiple times but it didn't solve the lag issue..

After the factory reset, did you restore using backups (e.g., smart switch, directly transferring SD card) or did you set up as a new phone. I was having very bad lag. I used Smart Switch the first time. After a factory reset and rebuilding from scratch (without Smart Switch) my lag problem is gone. There is some discussion of this over at Android Central.

Thanks. That's disappointing but important to know, both diagnostically and also to save everyone else the effort of duplicating the attempt.
I'd be very curious to see if an unlocked (no AT&T bloat) N7 has the same issue on AT&T. If I get a N7, I'm hoping to wait until unlocked versions become available.
I have the same problem. It's the only thing I don't like about the phone. Hopefully they will update it soon.
All samsung phones has that. A new custom rom will fix it.
Same problem, sprint... Stock, TouchWiz. Switched to nova and it doesn't seem to have helped much.
I'm finding the problem may be gone. It hasn't shown up in the last 48 hours (compared to several times a day up until then).
There's nothing I'm aware of doing differently now, other than having turned off Report Diagnostic Info in Settings|General Management. I'm skeptical that that has anything to do with the reversal (but not quite skeptical enough to try turning it back on just yet).
Perhaps the improvement is due to an app update, or perhaps it's a delayed effect of clearing the system cache (though the problem did crop up once or twice after the cache-clearing, before it stopped occurring). Has anyone else seen the problem go away?
UPDATE: The feedback-lag returned after about 60 hours. Again, no obvious trigger. Very annoying.
Hi guys,
I am having similar issues. Most of the times the UI is pretty smooth, but intermittently it starts lagging, opening apps takes 1-2 secs and scrolling the pages isnt smooth, its very annoying esp considering the device is barely few days old. Need some fix to this, or its a dead investment!

Wait, are you talking about the same feedback problem that this thread is about? Taking a second to load an app isn't necessarily unreasonable. But a one-second lag for haptic feedback defeats the whole purpose of the feedback and is clearly a bug.

What i mean is that the lag isnt just restricted to feedback, the phone seems to stutter overall, scrolling on pages and apps is jittery. And this is noticeable since when it doesn't occur the phone is buttery smooth! I tried the google now launcher and it still persists. Turning the animations to 0.5x didnt help either.
Oh ok. Yeah, I'm using the Google Now launcher too. For me, the lag problem disappeared about 58 hours ago though. Just out of curiosity, do you have Report Diagnostic Info enabled in Settings|General Management?
UPDATE: The lag came back after about 60 hours.
Just for completeness, I should mention that after the phone went into lag mode, I also tried turning haptic/audio feedback off and then back on. But the lag did not stop.
Hi folks,
I let my phone (6T, international version, completely stock never rooted), update to Android 11 this morning.
One thing is bugging me so far: at random times, I'll get brief flashes of some other window popping up momentarily (too fast for me to see what it is), and then it goes away. But it throws games into pause mode and takes me out of the flow.
What's causing this and how do I turn it off?
Welll this is not a normal behavior, so noone know why and how. Seems android 11 is not yet stable for us. I rolled back to android 10 on my 6T mclaren
Progress update: this problem seems to have resolved itself. I think it may have had to do with each app gradually settling in. A few reboots and some hours later the phone seems stable, though I'm having a few smaller issues like my phone icon left my home screen, I've now got TWO "Contacts" apps, and other minor stuff.
More update... the popups are back. I think they happen frequently after a reboot then settle down over time. I will keep an eye on it and report back anything I find in case it helps others.
Partial solution: I filmed what was going on in slow motion and despite my hand being in the way I saw the popup said "Gallery kee" presumably "Gallery Keeps Closing" or something like that. I don't use the Gallery app so I disabled it in Settings\Apps. Let's see if the problem keeps up. Maybe other apps are also contributing, and I'll have to address them one by one.
After a full day and another reboot for unrelated reasons, I can confirm that disabling the Gallery app fixed the problem. Not a single popup since I disabled it. Since I never use Gallery, only Google Photos, for me it's no loss. Probably a cache wipe would have sufficed as well. I did a a full cache wipe today to address a Gmail issue, and at some point I'll re-enable Gallery and see if the problem recurs despite the cache wipe.
