I think another person who had that issue ended up having to exchange theirs. The only thing I can think of to try before that is a factory reset.

Sigh. I'll flash a ROM and check out how it goes then.

I did root the device already. Didn't it void the warranty?

Before doing a factory reset, try to ask for help first. You can go back to the store or the carrier you bought the phone or call your technical support. Ask also if by rooting your device, did it void the warranty.

Meh. I was planning to flash a ROM which would result in a factory reset, if doing that would help I'll get the same results. Although, I'll try to contact the technical support to see if they have any idea of this problem

Fast update, I did a factory update and installed a new ROM, the issue is still there. I may have to flash back to the stock ROM and bring it back. I'm not sure what's the policy though

I called the store and my 15days have passed. Its either I can send it for repair or keel it like this. Seriously I don't use the fingerprint at all but its about when I'll be selling it. Would there be another way to fix this?

Why I'm selling my HTC One.

It has bricked on me a second time.
The first time, I was on ViperOne 3.1 with ElementalX and the phone shut off after a call. The phone was a sad cold aluminium shell. It was so bad I had to send it in to Rogers and have it repaired.
I got the same phone back but with stock 4.3 Sense 5 unrooted but suprisingly with an unlocked bootloader. The repair notes did not say they needed to open it up.
I then rooted and flashed stock GPE 4.4 odexed with Xposed + GravityBox KK and about a month later... same deal. But this time, the front capacitive buttons remain lit.
Im going to wait till it dies, attempt to boot it and then factory reset it ready to be sold, granted I don't have to send it to Rogers again.
I will not buy an HTC product again.
And before you guys quickly post, the phone is well beyond the light trick+power+volume down.

Just curious have you tried android revolution? I have been running his Roms for a long time and they are usually very good and very stable.

why nobody cares
its obviously a software problem, and upon flashing a ROM you take this risk.
But cool story doe.

Have your phone provider changed. If you're on a prepaid style provider, go see the seller. If it's new, contact LG

Thanks for fast reply.
So, my phone came with problem right? Doesn't have solution?
Yeah I've never seem that. I've seen phones being blocked because they have been blacklisted by the carrier but your case seems like something else
Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk
I would advise to take the phone to the person/shop whom you bought it from.
Thanks all.
Very weird i will contact the store to have another g2 without problems.
But if anyone know my problem and have solution please post here.
I don't think there is a home-made solution, but that the phone has to be either replaced or unblocked with a service box.

The error message can arise for various reasons. Backup your user files and do a factory reset to see if that resolves the issue. If not, try flashing the most current stock firmware available for your model.
There were some phones that were seeing failed cameras due to a firmware bug. If the issue persists, then your recourse would be pursuing a warranty claim.

My friend had this issue on her S3. Clearing the data and cache of camera apk and then going into recovery and clearing cache 2-3 times fixed it for her.

Probably somethings wrong with the camera apk
Try factory reset and wipe dem caches. Also, if this problem continues to persist. Consider reflashing a stock rom or try flashing another rom . One other problem could be from a faulty rom download? As the apk could be corrupted.
If the problem readily goes away, don't worry about it. If it recurrs with any notable frequency or persistence, push for a warranty claim. It is a known failure point for early production phones.

[Q] Dr.Ketan Kitkat Rom Display setting crash ?

Actually it's been a while im not on Kitkat but have you followed typical procedures? Unfreezing apps, restarting phone, checking your mods, etc. The answer is probably "what you did before you start to get the error". Can you give detailed information about these things? Then Doc may help you if it's a rom based fault.
New flashing rom everything from wipe cache and data other thing not work I used celesiko rom there was no problem
I googled your problem, do you have a chance to back up with titaniumbackup and make a factory reset?
Might be late to the party but I had crash issues after a fresh install.
Seemed to be an issue with how rom is flashed using twrp.
Did you use cwm or twrp?

Update released to cripple Note 7 in US

I'm sure most of us knew this was coming https://www.engadget.com/2016/11/04/software-update-will-annoy-galaxy-note-7-owners-into-a-return/
I have my updates on "manual" and I was able to deflect the attempt that still managed to almost start. I ended u hitting later. I was wondering if anyone knew how to disable these updates from popping up via Root explorer which I think I seen before.
Thanks
Disable pro 6.3 ....

They got me. I stopped the update but when I restarted my phone it was bootlooping. I cannot find the PHE (last "green battery" firmware) update anywhere. Looks like I'm returning my phone tomorrow. It has been a good fight.
That sucks. That same thing happened to me when I got my second Note 7 and the update installed on its own. I think we'll all have to give in at some point. This waterproof body and camera, better radio and a bunch of other crap has me refusing to give in. My rooted Note 3 is waiting..
After installing and running the disabler app I noticed a "Setup Wizard" app icon in my app drawer. Wth is it? Don't remember seeing this prior and uninstall is blocked.
Anybody know if rooting Note 7 will help get rid of the 60% limiter and also all the popup wanting you to return your Note 7 if so instructions please.
