Serious bug: auto reboot using camera

Hi guys!
I'm experiencing a serious problem with my X10: Using the stock camera app causes (50% and more of times) a reboot of the device
I'm still stuck with the R1FA016 firmware (Spanish, Movistar) and i thougt this could be the problem since nobody seems to have a so bad experience
Today i tried the Vignette app on the market and the bug is still there... what could be the problem?
Thank you.

I know it is painful, but have you tried formatting the device (restore factory settings)?

mmmm... i was thinking about it... do you think it could be a solution?

If you're using a task killer, check out you are not killing any camera app.

No i'm not killing camera app... (anyway, atk is set to kill apps every half hour)
I just formatted the phone and the bug seems to be still here... rebooting occours even if, in Mediascape i try to view taked photos!!!

Then, try one more thing: uninstall ATK, reboot the phone and let it handle the RAM as it is supposed to.
Perhaps ATK is the culprit! I know it caused me a great deal of problems in the past, until I finally realised that task managers do more harm than good on android operating systems.

@sleepyManX1
the update is out already try OTA update......

I also tried to insert photo app and some services (such as facerecognition) in atk ingore list... the bug is still here
So i'm trying this way: disable atk from autostart...

I've tried a lot of task killers/managers and at the end something started not to work properly. Since i don't use them everything is always ok! I recommend not to use them!!

Hi guys!
Any suggestion about this issue?
(I restored factory settings again and did not install any task manager/killer... still the bug is here )

Try to re-install firmaware using SEUS Wish you all the best

Yes... seems to be the only way... and i think i will flash the phone with a generic italian firmware... maybe the problem is in the movistar brand...
I just need a windows pc... (i've a ppc ibook... so no virtualization possible!)

I also have this problem with my desire, apparently after a search in XDA, problem exists in Nexus one (which is like HTC desire anyway) and HTC G1, G2.
seems no solution yet, I flashed my phone and installed the latest radio and a custom rom, still no solution.
hope someone can fix it

sleepyman x1 i too am on the same firmware as u and get the exact same problem im on three network uk, iv tried everything and nothing seems to solve it,,,, the only thing iv found that helps the camera bot up next time is when finished using the camera is to press the back button to exit camera mode and not to use the home button,
hope this is some help to you,
any updates of this would be great, the update doesnt seem to be there for my reigon yet, ( According to SE anyway ) they pretty much told me to sit tight and wait for he 2.1 in the last 4 mths of this yr

Thank you.

Let me kno how u get on bud. ?? Would like to see the out come

Be sure that i'll keep you informed

I also have "reboot" problem, but my phone reboots random - sometimes when I use Google Maps, sometimes when finish phone call, even sometimes when the phone is idle. I tried factory reset several times, updated to latest firmware (currently R2BA026) but no luck.
These days I will go to my local SE support center, I have no choice ...

Camera trap with 240fps!

Hi,
The problem here is related to camera, not with my phone, but my cousin's one, whenever he switches to 240 fps video recording, the phone crashes, forcing him to reboot.
As regarding my 6P, I'd never faced such issue. I looked online, and found few people complaining about it, many of them considered replacing the defective unit. *which is difficult in my country*
Does anyone here have any kind of solution for such problem? :crying:

Has he tried doing a factory reset and make sure he's on the latest version?

I'm sure it's the latest version.
But it's a used phone *almost new* and he did factory reset before doing anything.

Mine used to crash like that but now does not, always been totally stock, on Feb. update.

So, it had been resolved by Feb update?

Check Apps
I had same issue.
The reaqson was in LiveWallpaper which crashed device camera.
Another one had this issue because of one static wallpaper.
Check your apps & walppapers. You also may try to turn on Safe Mode to exclude 3rd party apps from loading.

Extremely disappointed with newer firmware .253

Hi,
I received the new firmware a few days ago, upgrading straight from .163.
I am very disappointed. Battery life is awful, and some applications just crash. Facebook for instance gets stuck quite often.
MF

I think you should do a factory reset. I've never noticed those issues. Battery life is same as before, no such crashing issues, bluetooth is fixed.

Do you think a Software Repair, using the Sony companion on PC, would do the trick?
I have never done a Software Repair before.

Apps force stop means u made a dirty install, wipe your data / cache and make a clean install

New firmware update 32.2.A.0.305 for Z4T

Hi,
New firmware 32.2.A.0.305-R4C is rolling out, see on Xpericheck.
probably the same update as the Z5:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2016/10/07/new-firmware-32-2-a-0-305-rolling-for-xperia-z5-family/

Since the last update, which should solve problems with bluetooth paired devices (that I haven't had), the BKB 50 doesn't conntect to the Tablet anymore. when I unpair an the pair the device it works for two minutes an then It doesen't work anymore.
Hardware reset of the keyboard didn,'t change anything. So, if you update have that in mind... and does anybody have an idea what I can do about it?

I just tested it with my HP Bluetooth keyboard - works with US keyboardlayout. I would have to change that with e.g. External Keyboard Helper.
You could try a factory reset of the tablet.
Or with root access and tools like Titanium Backup delete selectively the data of the bluetooth related apps or work on the command line via adb shell.
I had some issues with battery life in the previous build - some process drained the battery in idle mode in < 10 hours. I figured something with the Google system apps.
With the new build it seems to me the slope of the battery stats went from 30° to 10° and my usage pattern.
Best I had with my SGP712 so far.

HI,
Just tested with a generic bluetooth keyboard and no problem ( I never had a problem with the bluetooth with this tablet on many Devices)

I hope this update fixes my problem with videos / animated gifs being unable to play after x time. A reboot fixes that, but it's damn annoying on a media consumption device..

Going to update right now does someone know if theyve fixed the low microphone gain issue that the 771 is suffering since the last update?
Edit: Doesn't look so.... Come on sony guys with this matter the comm capabilities of the tablet go really down....

If it happens on original firmware it may help to post on Sony's official Z4 Tablet forum to better get their attention.
I should do the same once I know if the failing media playback issue also happens on stock.

After the New Update Exynos Model (BUGS)

Hello Guys,
I am from India, I got the latest update attached screenshot.
I am facing few issues:-
The phone has become laggy in some departments such as:
1. The fingerprint mark stays on the screen after the screen unlocks.
2. Even after pressing the power button screen doesn't lock. The screen does black out but when I double tab on the screen it directly takes me to the home screen without showing the lockscree first. I am not using Google trusted location or devices to unlock without taking my fingerprint or face recognition.
3. When I try to dial a number it doesn't call at a single go, after pressing multiple times it calls the person whom I am trying to call. It looks very choppy as if the system responding to my commands little later.
4. Whenever I am trying to take the screenshot it doesn't take at a single go, after pressing multiple times the system recognises I am trying to take the screenshot and respond little later.
All the apps are working fine without any lags but the above said things are bothering me a lot.
I hope someone from XDA can assist me with this.
P.S.: I have tried to clear the cache from the boot screen. Also did a test on graphics from the same menu.

Thanks for your reply! I hope somebody facing similar problems has overcome and provide suggestions.
But Sammobile blog has also confirmed these issues.

II havent faced any of these issues post update.
Did you try doing a factory reset? If not, try the same if its not too much of an issue for you.

I have the same but I updated today over mobile data.
Came home and it started to behave like described above.
So I figured it is something with the updated WiFi drivers.
Switched off Wi-Fi and all seems fine now.

So, you're saying only the ppl that took the OTA are facing the issues? In that case i will probably try that then if the bug returns for me.
For now after switching WiFi On/Off for me it is gone.
Seen reports that plugging in the charger does the same.
Weird stuff indeed.
Also now i see a fellow Dutch, you by any change using Rabobank stuff (Wallet/App) with tripped KNOX and have no problems with it?

No, its possible that some users who do flash a rom with Odin could face some issues too but i personally don`t. I`am using the ABN bank app and i haven`t rooted for a long time now. I used to do it because of theming and getting updates/upgrades but nowadays i personaly don`t see a reason anymore to root anymore. So i can`t help you with your question.

I happened to flash "ASE5" build two ways :
1. First using ODIN 2 days back . Did a factory reset ,erased cache in recovery, reinstalled all apps & after setting them up:-
issues faced -> None.
2. Went back to previous "ASD5" build, downloaded the "ASE5 OTA" update and installed. Did a factory reset, erased cache in recovery, reinstalled all apps & after setting them up:-
issues faced so far -> None.
*One glitch I'm noticing from the beginning with "ASE5" :
When I click on my apps & games(playstore app>drop down menu on the left), it freezes for a split second while it takes into the main page. With all my effort, I could not fix it. (App cache cleaning only temporarily fixes this).

A split second delay bothers you? What apps are running in the background? Do you have the FaceBook app installed? How did you set your animations?

No it does not "bother"but is a step back in smoothness if that counts. It's a "difference" that I noticed since I was testing both builds back and forth for a comparison. Rest be assured that it's not related to apps installed and animations set.

Erase playstore cache and you won't even notice it for a while only to re-appear after sometime.
"Less noticiable" and "very much noticiable" in my usage in 1x & .5x respectively. In ASD5 build, this transition slips like a soap.
