Good Mording,
i always have problems with the camera from my phone.
When i use the phone more than one day, the camera doesn't work (doesn't show a picture; app very slow and hangs).
If i clear app data, dalvik cache and cache the camera works again but after several hours (0.5 to 5) the camera doesn't work again.
Is this a hardware error from my phone and what can i do against this problem?
How can i provide a log file for the camera application??
Phone specs:
Bootloader: MGA without KNOX
PDA: XXUFNB9 (4.4.2) (Goldeneye V23)
Modem: XXUFNB8
Kernel: Talexop
Other Problems: none since android 4.3 (except with old MGA Firmware (4.2.2) the phone had lags because of the sd card)
I tried also CM11 last week and i had the same problem after several minutes.
Many thanks in advance.

I'm facing the same issue with the European N9005, with this stock firmware installed. Tried factory reset after first start. Already wiped all internal storage using twrp.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Cheers
shoot fails
Good afternoon, I'm even vit0r94 problem, I even can take pictures but when I shoot fails, someone help us?
Exactly the same crash when trying to record video. Already tried to go back to stock ROM with all the modems etc. Tried Note 4 port, S6 Darklord and so on. Every time I clear cache, data, etc.
Any clue would be appreciated

Same here on the SM-N9005 LTE. I've wiped the whole phone, took out the ext sd card, went back to several different stock firmwares and still crashes. Pictures work fine, as soon as press the video recording button it freezes and a few seconds later it reboots the phone.
I'm afraid this will be a hardware issue....

I was able to solve it by going back to the stock kitkat (4.4.2) rom through ODIN. There my camera was recording video perfectly fine. I then updated to Lollipop again and the camera (video recording) was still working fine. Very strange as I wiped/reflashed several times before downgrading to kitkat and that never worked.
recording failed on any lolipop rom
i have a same problem here. I dont think it was a hardware issue as when i was in KK the video recording works perfectly, but when i flash ANYKIND of lolipop rom, the video recording failed. but if i was to used AOSP lolipop, the video recording works fine.
anyone can help? i've tried searching and all, but doesnt seem to find the solution.
feels like i'm stuck at KK and cant move on. feels like u have a hi tech computer but u only can use windows xp, sad...
much appreciated guys!

Really Nothing
Is there a reason why no one has posted a fix or a how to for this I have seen the Update bootloader and CP but in my attempts to do this Odin has failed I have done everything under the sun to try and fix this and nothing I have looked up and down on Google, Androidpit, and obviouslt here on XDA and I have found nothing does any one want to lend a hand here or does no one really know how to fix it????
There's a solution in this thread
Well downgrading then upgrading seems like a bit of a hail Mary pass worth trying will update as to whether or not it actually worked thk8gh it sounds more like a one in a million fix.
So I solved it by:
Using Odin 3.11.1
I have already tried Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flashed the latest stock Lolipop or older lollipop with ODin and nothing solved the problem.
So I tried to flash the latest stock lolipop with Odin and marking checked (Auto Reboot , F. Reset Time , Phone EFS clear, Phone Bootloader update).
I suspect that the Phone EFS clear did the trick. It's function is related to the modem and radio of the phone. And clearly the modem has a problem here.
I hope this will help anybody out there having this issue.
This problem happened after trying to flash lollipop using FlashFire app to reserve the root that I had in my previos Android KK 4.4.2.

Hi all,
I have a GT-I9505, running stock ROM I9505XXUGNG8 (KitKat 4.4.2), and I can NOT get the GPS to work. I've used GPS tester programs "GPS Test" and "GPS Status" and what I see is that the phone sees anywhere from 12-20 satellites, but does not get a fix on any of them. Once in a blue moon I'll get 1 or two to lock. I am outside or in the car when I use the tester programs, so no interference from buildings.
It is rooted, has busybox and CWM recovery on it. It does not have Yahoo Weather (just the weather app that came with the phone). I don't know if it is hardware or software at this point. It does seem to have the lovely Knox bootloader. (SE for Android status - Enforcing)
*#1234# tells me:
AP: I9505XXUGNG8
CP: I9505XXUGNG8
CSC: I9505OXAGNG8 (but I use the phone in Israel).
I've been trying to find a case that is similar to mine, but I haven't found one yet. Can anyone help me out here? I was going to re-flash the modem part of GNG8 just to see if that would help, Maybe going to CyanogenMod or reflashing the stock would help? What about GNH8? The I9505 is not sold in Israel at this time, so I have not found any Israel-specific ROM/CSCs for it. I don't know if the CSC for the I9500 (which is sold here) would help or hurt.
There are a lot of things I can think of to waste my time with, but I'm hoping some of the smart people in this forum will be able to help make it a shorter process.
Mate I've had this problem since I flashed |ROM|★GE★|►VJUGNH2◄|►41◄|.
I've tried CM11, I've tried stock for my area (UK)
I9505XXUGNG8_I9505BTUGNG2_I9505XXUGNG8_HOME.tar (stock ROM)
BL_I9505XXUGNG8_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT (stock bootloader)
GSM_Modem_XXUGNG8_and_LTE_Modem_XXUGNG8.tar (stock LTE modem)
and to no avail. I keep having GPS lock issues. I did flash Adams Kernal when flashing the GE and CM11 ROMS. But surely flahsing stock everything should fix the bloody GPS

It looks like it may have been the GPS antenna not being connected properly when it was built. I tried SlimKat and CM11 M9 to no avail. I thought I would see if the GPS antenna was physically broken, and it looked fine. But I did hear a click when I was working with it that made me think that it wasn't attached properly. I unplugged both ends, plugged them back in, and now all 3 roms work with the GPS. So I restored my nandroid backup of the stock GNG8 and life is good. Yeah, there's Samsung bloatware, but there are enough other things in the stock rom that I think I'll just stick with it for now.
So long and thanks for all the fish,
Wayne
Well, maybe I spoke too soon? It's true that detaching and re-attaching the GPS antenna makes the GPS work again, but it only works for about a day and then goes dead again. It starts working again when I take off the back and detach/re-attach the antenna. I can't continue to constantly go through that cycle. Is it bad hardware? Do I need to find a Samsung repair shop somewhere? Or is there a software setting I'm missing somwhere?
Thanks!
Hey, just a finall wrap-up for the thread. Long story short, I eventually did a complete wipe of the phone - dalvik, cache, system, data - everything, and then did a clean installation of one of the ROMs here (Optimized CM 12.1). At that point everything snapped back to life, the GPS locks quickly, it's all the way it should be. So I guess there was something deep in the system partition that was messing it up, and it took a total wipe to clear it out properly. Happy phone user now.
Hello,
I have a very strange problem:
On my galaxy S4 I9505 android version 4.3 if there is a video player available then the app goes stuck, the apps:
- Youtube
- Facebook (app and browser)
- Browser
The videoscreen stays black and the app goes stuck for a while, the video will never play.
The other similair problem if someone call me or if I want to call someone the phone got stuck as well.
I already tried:
- wipe data and cache / factory settings
- wipe full data to install new rom in philz touch recovery
- Install new rom (4.4 and custom 5.0 lollipop)
The problem remains..
Everything else works perfect but this are 2 important thing what needs to work.
Someone have a Idea?
Important to report: I was on custom lollipop and I downgrade it with the downgrade files on this topic because 4.3 has mirrorlink support for my new car.

That problems appears when you try to downgrade your device. Reflash stock android 4.4.2 and your problems will be gone :highfive:
Thanks! Tried a few times to flash it back to this stock rom and 4 times failed! Used differtent versions of odin. 3.09, 3.07, 3.04 and some older one 1.85 or something.
I stopped for a half hour (Phone turned off half hour) tried it again and it worked. Very strange but it works.
Thanks very much!
Hi guys. Sometimes when i open my camera app it says Warning CAMERA FAILED and only thing i can do is to tap on accept. If i try to clear cache and data it's the same. I have to reboot the phone... sometimes after reboot all is good but sometimes don't. I have to reboot 2 or 3 times to get camera working again. If my phone doesn't power off the camera works as it should but if the phone is turned off rebooted etc, the camera sometimes work sometimes don't and i have to start again....
Anyone have this problem?
Model: SM-N900w8
Baseband: NH1
Bootloader: NH1
ROM: Omega Rom v23 based on NI4
Note: I can't go over NH1 on ODin because it's the latest version as far as i know for this model.

Hi
Same problem with my mobile
N-9005
Stock Rom KK 4.4.2, NG1
Rooted, with TWRP 2.8 on it
We need some to help ???
I have an extremely persistent set of problems:
1. Unable to record video
- stock camera freezes and the phone restarts (no matter the resolution or storage)
- other camera apps (mx, open, google..) either freezes or acts like its recording but it doesn't
2. While playing some videos, the phone freezes and restarts (in 90% its instagram videos, but sometimes it plays them fine)
What i tried:
- a bunch of roms. The problems probably started with some of them.
- returned to a stock lolipop
- several custom and stock kernels
- a bunch of camera apps
Currently i'm on Audax rom v26.1 with its audax kernel.
Does anyone have idea what could i try?
Could it be a hardware problem? (other than that, camera works fine)
Thanks in advance.
So I solved it by:
Using Odin 3.11.1
I have already tried Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flashed the latest stock Lolipop or older lollipop with ODin and nothing solved the problem.

I hope this will help anybody out there having this issue.

Hi there,
Sorry, but did not face any issue like that before.
If you have searched a lot for a solution and could not solve it, I suggest that you install this ROM:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/purify-cm-13-hlte-n9005-unofficial-cm13-t3337234
This happened to me once after a terrible mistake , which is not related to my above issue. Then I installed this ROM and never looked back. Much snappier phone, lower battery usage and less heated device. I just love it. The only thing that I missed, the better camera app in the stock ROM, and the TouchWiz ability to show multiple apps at the same time.
I strongly suggest that you do a Nandroid backup then give this ROM a try. If you did not like it, you can always return to the Nandroid backup again.
You are frustrated now, like I was. Take a deep breath, and remember that we all went through such bad times with our phone, not just you. This is part of the experience of using such complicated devices. You will solve it eventually, believe me!
