Help!!
I got the phone last sunday (15th May) from o2 and from day one I have had this problem
I updated the Samsung app then It said that there was an update available for the camera so I downloaded and started the install.
It said it would take 4 minutes but I got a error message after about 2/3 minutes and it stopped the install.
Trouble is now my camera doesn't work and I haven't got the option of trying a fresh install of the camera firmware.
Tried
soft/hard reset
flash ke2 firmware
but I cant get the camera functioning again
Any ideas apart from taking it back to the store which I dont want to do as they have no more in stock?

Have you tried flashing back to whatever firmware was on the phone when you bought it? I know you said you'd re-flashed KE2 but was that the stock FW? Try flashing stock KE1, see if that helps.
The firmware that was on it originally was the one before the ke1 but I cant find that one on o2.
I will have another look tomorrow after work.

Go to the dev forum. There's a thread with the original rom.

thanks for the link todo700
I flashed with the very first software but still no joy in getting the camera working.
I noticed that one of the options on the *#*#34971539#*#* menu is -CAM to phone FW Dump
If someone can dump their working FW with this option then I assume I can install it with the PHONE to Cam FW Write?

Hmmm, crap... I'm actually a bit scared to try this Got the phone yesterday and would like to know for sure exactly what the Cam to phone FW dump does (even though the name is pretty explanatory).

Yeah I wonder if any can confirm that is safe to dump the camera fw to phone?
I have seen on the galaxy s forum that they have successfully used the write camera fw from phone to flash new firmware.
It would be good if it is possible to do it this way then we will be able to back up our camera firmware incase any has problems like I am having at the minute with my camera.

Right sorted phone exchanged instore (gave me one that was reserved for someone else cos they had none left)
Phone is already on KE2 firmware but this one is locked to o2.
damn, I'm another victim of the failed update via samsung apps.
Unfortunately I can not return it (bought it in another country).
Can someone take a dump of the cam firmware and upload it so I can write it properly?
Partial solution -
So I reflashed various firmwares, dumped the camera FW to phone and tried to reload it (this failed as they were the same version.
If I disable auto flash the cam works fine, though the video sometimes works and sometimes does not.
Help me plz i also have this problem and don't know what to do !!!

Do you know any firmware newer than this? bcoz i cannot update again it says i already have the latest version, but actually i have failed the update.
I got the same problem. Any solutions?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Same here, anyone came up with workable solution to reverse the update or replace with a working firmware. If it was possible just to re-install the firmware using the update then things would be so much simpler !
long shot but have you tried the emergency firmware recovery option in kies?
this thread has convinced me*not* to update the cameras firmware!
is there a change log anywhere to show what the update gives?

Probably not. I just updated the camera with no problem at all. But can't say i noticed any difference, i still have the pink spot.
don't tell me about little faults i haven't noticed yet (or don't have)

Try reading a few threads and you will get worried, lol. Just a pink spot on camera, a yellow tint in the lower left of the screen when using lower brightness and a blue tint when rotating. Those are just the screen issues Ignore them if you wanna sleep comfortably at night
hmm, mine don't seem to have any of those
Hi I received my s4 today but as soon as the screen goes black from none use it just reboots, if I use it its fine but as soon as I put it down for 30 seconds and the screen goes black it reboots. Is it a setting I'm missing or a faulty phone, sorry for the noob question but I'm along time apple user thanks for any help.
At first glance, it sounds like a defective phone that should be returned promptly. However, we should make sure that you are sure you're doing things right. You're not holding the power button down at all, correct? (just pressing it?) And you're saying that after it sleeps, it simply reboots, or it reboots when you try to wake it up?
First try messing with the screen timeout/sleep settings.. I think the default is 2 minutes anyway, so I don't see why it would reset after 30sec.
Next, the battery is charged, right?
Next, try pulling the battery and putting it back in.
Next, try a data format / factory reset. If you return the phone, you'll be forced to do this anyway, so it's worth a shot.
After that, you've got me. Anyone else?

Thanks I have tried all the above but it's still the same, I've had to phone for a replacement but due to limited stock I've got to wait three weeks. Is there any way I can download the original firmware and reflash it.

Thanks for that the weird thing is I can use the phone for hours with no reboot problems, but as soon as I stop using it, it will turn itself off and reboot.

Yeah, that doesn't sound good and certainly isn't the user experience you are looking for in a brand new flagship phone you dropped a pretty penny on. You could try bringing it into the retail store purchased and see if they can do a swap there. If there are more in stock it shouldn't be an issue. I assume you had it pre-ordered online

Samsung has just released the German version of the Firmware (GT-I9505) for kies so hopefully the US AT&T (i337) will be released soon. Check SamMobile's site for firmware updates and to see if they available via kies yet.
Have you tried just doing a factory data reset? You can do it through settings or even stock Samsung recovery I think.
Hi. Since 27th i have the same problem. The phone reboots sporadic. After factoryreset everything ok but tonight the same problem occured again.

If you are not rooted then I would first look at what you may have installed since you got the phone. If you have not installed anything, have not rooted, have not frozen any apps, etc. then I would get in line for a replacement asap.

Do a factory reset. If that doesn't fix it, hope you have a warranty cause it sounds faulty.

I have a EUR model so I will have to wait. But is the bug that the LG G3 had since the update to Lollipop solved? The bug where the screen goes on every 10 seconds after the battery is fully loaded using a wireless pad? Since the update to lollipop I cant use wireless charging anymore since this is a very anoying bug.
Wouldn't know. This is my first time on Lollipop.

I just updated my D855 SEA model with the latest OTA, did a fully wipe and started fresh. Charged it last night on the wireless charge pad and no such issue.

My SEA/20b version has intermittent weirdness with wireless charging. It often wakes in the night to say its charging slowly. I'm using an LG WCP-700 charging pad.
Guys, for some reason I feel that 20b is better than 20e (had that before the official launch of lollipop for SEA).
after updating via pc suite and checking for another update, it shows two upgrades available with version that is still v20b.
can someone please let me know if they have successfully upgraded their phone with both upgrades?
thanks.

Same thing happened to me, except i think i only got the boot loop after the second update.
Did you happen to catch the firmware file name of the second update?

in the box on the screen on the second update it was already showing 10 k 4.4.2, i can only think that the first part of the update rolled it back to kit kat
Reporting after update
Update sucks, a bit laggy, and usage bumped up from 14% to 20% in smart cleaning. And there's really no need for T-action, though quick remote did get its very much needed upgrade.
I think this has some added bloatware to it, guest mode is gone (i mean half-a$$ed), quick memo+ does not activate when pressing its icon from the integrated home button, but I did discover a way to use it.
First, open the quick memo icon (green), close it, then press the shortcut on the home tray, now it works!
does anyone of you know what's the difference between the brightness slider on notification widget having C on it and without C? I cannot understand what's the difference, it seems the same for me.
Hi everyone.
I recently flashed the latest Indian ROM from sammobile. Everything worked fine until recently I started facing these random color and display problems. Please help me.
I have also attached pics.
Hi screenshot 1 and 3 are also in the list of problems I faced, also other then that I had a black triangle appearing on the right side of the screen which is a problem you haven't mentioned or faced maybe.
I have a new N900 Indian Version.
Since you are facing the same problems as well then it is safe to assume that this is a software bug and should be addresse by a software update, I was a little worried and thought that there might be problem in hardware.
If you also faced the issue where the screen turned black from a side of phone then please do mention.
These problems happenend twice and I had to restart everytime.

My screen flickering used to appear when i set the brightness level to the lowest and it used to appear only in places where the white color is dominant that's it mostly with pictures and when i open one of drawing apps because the canvas is white to make that stops i tried to set the brightness to a bit higher level and yeah the flickering stopped but i can't do that all the day because of the battery.
It doesn't appear in the download mode or anywhere else it's just mostly where all the screen is white funny thing is if you did a screenshot the flickering won't appear
So i downgraded to lollipop i can hardly see a flickering i bet even if it was there it's not noticeable
