[Q] QIK app reboots my phone... WTF?

I have an annoying problem with QIK - whenever I try to start a video chat or record a video, my phone reboots. Video camera and photo camera work fine outside of QIK. Has anyone else had this issue before? I searched the forums but no one has described this specific issue before.
Hardware v3
ROM: Fresh 3.4.0.1
Radio: 2.15.00.09.01
PRI: 1.77_003
Thanks.
Unfortunately it's starting to look more and more like there was a bug in the last Qik update. If you installed the upate and now have version 0.04.60.2 then maybe you need to uninstall it for now. It's working fine on my EVO, but when I look at the comments in the Market alot of folks are complaining about the reboot issue. In fact, Qik for HTC EVO 4G isn't even showing up in the Market anymore. So hopefully the company is aware of the issue and working on another update that will fix it.
Thanks. I thought that maybe with all this rooting/flashing I had done I damaged the system somehow. My GF has exactly the same setup, but her QIK works just fine... Oh well. I'll just have to wait for the new version.
It's a well known issue
glad i'm not the only one! haven't even gotten to try qik out yet.

[Q] Galaxy tab Camera help

I just got my tab and when ever i try to use the camera i cant see what i'm shooting.... it only displays the last picture i shot but when press the shutter button it shots fine and the display change to the thing i shot...
Video mode is the same.
I tried clear data for the Camera app and force close it but its the same...
can any one help?
btw i searched the forums but i didn't find anything sorry if there is a thread about this already
i also hv this problem also... please help us..
~i thought it is bcoz of the spare part apps. then i try to set it default. but it still same..
BUMP. Help us please
I have the same problem.
As a workaround, if you slide the camera/video slider, the Tab switches back to the camera setting, and the viewfinder is displayed.
I have had some other problems with my tab, like crashing apps all the time, I made a hardreset and now everything is fine. You may test it and report here.
i had the same problem with the camera app. sliding the camera/video slider doesn't help.
so i reboot the tab & its working fine now.
regards,
mike
Yup, i know, after reboot, the problem gone.So, if like that, everytime i face the problem, i hv to reboot. How can like that..
I am facing this issue too, any fix?
Damn now I'm in the boat, but I think I know why this happens, my camera doesnt show black screen or something, it shows the last viewed youtube video and if I switch to video cam, two youtube vids are shown.
So may its caused by the new youtube app?
So, all hv this problem by using the new youtube app?
How to revert back to previous version of youtube? Where can get the installer?
I also have the problem its not cuz of youtube app, it happens with videos that you watch any video from any app.

i have the exact same problem..viewfinder gets stuck on the last frame of the last viewed video, and only a restart can fix it. Any news on a proper solution for this? I hate restarting the phone...
cam problem
Hello devs plz helps all with tis fix of viewfinder we are waiting for it, every time we use video call, u tube, play game, this freezes the view finder, looking forward to fix from you ppl, no hopes from samsung as usual
thankx in advance
I had the problem on the camera of SGT as well 3 months back. However, I sent in my SGT for an upgrade of firmware due to other reasons (not because of the camera issue). And the problem has gone forever.
When I encountered this problem back then, I tried rebooting, clearing of memory (RAM), it goes off for a while, but it came right back, especially when you view YouTube. It is quite annoying.
So, my advice to you guys is to send it to Samsung for a firmware upgrade, it just takes less than an hour. By the way, my SGT is stock ROM.

S4 Video Calling Problem

Hi guys,
I seem to have a problem with video calling on my S4. I decided to try it out before, video calling my girlfriend (who has a Note 2) whilst I was out. I could see/hear her absolutely fine, but she couldn't hear me at all. She could see me fine, but couldn't hear me. I tried again when I got home, but again, same problem.
I'm running stock unrooted UK unbranded firmware. I'm wondering if this is a bug within this firmware. When I phone normally, there is no problems, just video calling.
Any help would be great!
Thanks everyone!
Anyone any idea what could be causing this

[Q] Switching to front facing camera produces error. 'Camera not connected'.

Helllllo everyone!
So I apologize for being one of those people who just come here to ask questions. Unfortunately life doesn't have room for me spending time playing with my Android devices anymore, so having it 'work' is more important to me.
I am on 4.3, ParanoidAndroid 3.96. I am not on the latest because it took some time to have the app TouchControl work (with my Franco kernel), and Secure Settings etc. that I chose to just stick with it because it worked really well for me.
The problem!
I recently noticed that if I tried to switch to the front facing camera, it'd hang. After that, I would not be able to use my torch/led, and going into the camera would tell me that "The camera is not connected" or something like that. I could only fix this by clearing all the data on my Gallery, and shutting down, and then turning on again. Reboot would not work.
If I did that, I could go into my camera and use the rear camera fine. Take pictures, record video, etc. Torch works as normal. It's just that once I attempt to go into the front camera, this problem happens.
It's weird because I didn't flash anything or change any settings when this happened. I DID install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.mrogalski.saidit which wouldn't let me record a video while being used, but I since disabled/uninstalled it which solved that problem.
I have done a lot of googling on this problem, and noticed that I am not the only one who has this problem. For some people it seems like their phone is new, and some it just happens out of nowhere. For that reason I suspect it might be a hardware problem that can occur randomly, but it's weird that after triggering the problem, that my torch won't work anymore as well. Unless the torch is somehow tied to the camera/flash, and by triggering the problem when I try to access the front camera, it isn't able to 'call' the camera/flash anymore as a result?
I bought my Nexus 4 from Google in May 2013, so I believe I still have until May 2014 to RMA it, correct? Would I get another Nexus 4 at this point, or maybe I'd get a Nexus 5 instead?
Thanks in advance for any insight into my problem!
I know you would like to keep the rom you are on but to be on that rom you must have a custom recovery installed. So if I was you I would back you're rom up then flash something different to see if its hardware related or not . If so then return the phone.

Thanks for the reply.
I tried installing the latest PA rom, but came up with an error. I had the rom I was on originally still, so I tried wiping and flashing it again. Finished flashing, went and opened the camera and it still happened. Looks like it's a hardware problem then!
I guess I'll go look up a guide to flashing back to stock now.

Display problem

Hello there.
I'm proud new user of Nexus 6p but I already have a problem. I updated it to 7.1.1 and rooted the device. Now chrome constantly crashes (Aw snap problem) and also facebook sometimes show strange image.
Screenshots attached.
Anybody else have this problem?
i love my 6p and am also a proud owner of this beast.
but i also have troubles with my display, it is abit similar to yours, i have occasional graphical glitches and it always freaks the hell outta me.
i hate those glitches , i had a split screen bug on my Moto Nexus 6 as well and using a specific custom kernel called Lean kernel always solved that problem for me.
but currently nothing fixes this on my nexus 6p , except the 6p of mine thankfully does not have that split screen bug but instead it has some other occasional hiccups with graphic glitches.
and i think it is because of the cold temperatures, but i am not so sure.
Cold temperatures can't be a problem with mine couse i work inside so there is no cold
I tried with elementalX kernel and the problem is still here.
chrome gives me the most graphical glitches , but it does not happen often.
it can still get annoying , and i also have a keyboard issue with chrome (been months now) the keyboard issue is, i cant delete characters i have enetered in the search fields of whatever website i am at.
like when i press backspace to wanting to delete words it just wont do it, annoying bug with chrome i am sure of it, as i have tried other browsers and they dont do that with the keyboard backspace not deleting characters.
maybe we should both switch browsers, but the thing is i always go back to chrome :l
hope your issue gets solved too, maybe try a custom based nougat rom and you wont see that issue with chrome anymore (as for the fb app, it is a battery killer i would advice to just use the chrome app to open up your fb account).
Tried with firefox but the problem is still there.
Will try and get myself different rom for weekend and test it.
So you say that facebook is battery killer. Thanks for the info.
Update:
Installed Pure nexus rom - problem still there
Installed CM 14.1 - problem still there
I have no idea what is cousing this problem. Is it possible that the problem is hardware related and not software?

Navigate to Settings/Developer Options/Webview Implementation then switch to "Chrome." See if you still notice these issues.

Nope I think your display driver is glitching
I'm taking it back to the store today and they will replace it with the new one they said. Hope i'll have more luck this time
