Hi com,
When i open my camera and switch to the video function a warning appears that says "Warning, Record failed" (its translated from german) and the camera app closes. "Normal camera" works fine. I can take pictures without some warning.
I would send it back to Samsung but the problem is, i've rooted the phone already.
I noticed, when i plug in my Beats, the camera still works. The cable of my beats have an microphone so i think the microphone of my handy is broken.
Sorry for my bad englisch btw ...
Thanks for helping
sounds like a hardware issue....even though your warranty is gone you should try and contact them and explain the situation.
Is this on stock rom?

Where did you buy this phone?
If you bought it from a carrier they most likely won't have the expertise or the competency to check if your phone is rooted

SOLUTION
"SOLUTION"
For everone who has the same problem, i flashed a custom ROM (Omega ROM in my case) and now the video camera still works.
It was no hardware issue because if the camera works why the video camera shouldnt work? I thought that the microphone had an issue because when i pluged in earphones with an microphone it worked. But it wasnt the microphone because it still worked when i was on phone.
Every now and then the Camera Failed message pops up when I try to use. A restart usually fixes it but at times I need it quick and a restart just takes away from the whole moment.
I bought the insurance with the phone from AT&T. Do I call AT&T, the insurance company or Samsung itself for a replacement due to the camera issue? I have a feeling if I call AT&T, they'll direct me to insurance but I don't think this is a insurance issue. Thanks

I have a problem with the frontal camera of the tytn. suddenly it has stopped to work. I have tried hard reset without result. someone can help me to resolve the problem or must send the telephone in attendance? which can second be the causes you? there is a way in order to see if it is a problem software or hardware? thanks
If you've done a hard reset, it must be a hardware problem. I would send it back if it's still in warranty,

yes... is in warranty... but i hope to have another possibility

Sure.. Open it up, repair the camera yourself, close it. Fixed.
oh my God!
I have upgraded the bootloader of the tytn to the last version (2.10olipro) and the radio to the 1.41.xxx, if I send the telephone in attendance, is problems with the guarantee?
There should be no problems with the guarentee. They expect you to do update the phone.

Well updating using official updates is ok but with some providers they check for unofficial upgrades and may not be happy!

I have the same problem on SPV M3100!!!! no software solution found! I think is a hardware problem... But is a risk to open the pda by yourself!!!(even if could be a simple solution); let me know if you have good news...
what can happen if they notice that I have modernized the tytn with software off board?

Possibility of voiding the warranty, but search here to see if your supplier will check. Or wait til others reply here.

Well if you post here with your brand of Hermes eg TyTn or SPV etc and asking if anyone knows whether their warranty will be made void if non official ROMs have been flashed. I read somewhere but it could be wrong that Cingular in the US do not routinely check and warranty is not therefore affected.
Mike
I only have flashed spl and radio… tasks that are a problem? I have tytn Italy not brand

Well maybe it would be easiest to phone them up and ask if it's ok i.e pretend you have not done it yet and see what they say.

Hi, i got huge problem with my N1
Yesterday night I'v plugged my phone to charging by PC USB cable (PC switched off) and went sleep. When I wake up first I sow blue color of charging led (should be green or red), when I unplugging my phone led is still blue (this led is blue even in bootloader and recovery). After that I realize my power button doesn't work and later about I can't playing any music from speaker But I can hear all notifications. When i try call someone i can't hear anything but in speaker mode yes
Anyone know what is going on?!
What mean that blue color?
Help!!!!
P.S. I did full wipe (data+cache+ext) and flash ROM again, no different.
To be honest i dont know. But from the sounds of it, blue LED may mean "something is wrong". Maybe you have some corupt NAND? Or a Southbridge issue..... Not entirely sure. (I dont even know if ARM based devices have a SB/NB).
Sorry i couldn't help. But best of luck with finding out more about the problem.....
did you try wipe everything and reflash new/same rom ?
i suggest you do a nandroid bakcup and try it

I personally think that isn't going to help(although should be done anyway), as changing the charging LED is fairly low level stuff (IE, it works without Android), so i think its hardware related and not so much software related (although software could have attributed to the issue)
So then this should be a no brainer.... call HTC

You should still call them, see if they know what's the problem. You might have to end up paying for the fix tho.

Agreed. Please let us know what they say just incase that happens to one of us.
This morning I just got THE bad surprise. I could not hear anything from the HD2 earpiece (I mean the earphone in the front upper part of the HD2) If I enable speakerphone it works fine, if I attach an external earphone or even a bluetooth earphone it also work fine, microphone also works fine, the only problem is with the front earpiece that I can't hear anything.
I hope this is some kind of bug or anything I can deal with because sending for warranty is not a good option for me.
Anyone have any hint to give to me?
Thank you a lot in advance.
Just to add I already tried to flash a new Radio ROM and a cooked ROM, nothing solved my problem.
I am still hoping for some help here ;(
flashing a new rom shouldn't really be needed as a normal hard reset should have solved it, if that was a simply software glitch.
If the ear speaker is still dead... it's just dead.
Even if it comes to life again, I wouldn't be so okay with it because it may stop working again.
I understand how sending it back is troublesome, yet you cannot really do anything more, I had my old ipaq 214 which became mute twice on two different warranty exchanged devices, but at least it was not a phone.
I also tried the hard reset. Hooo this is a nightmare! I can't even use the warranty because sending to USA is not a good option at all.

Have you not got an old phone as a backup? i keep my old phones for a few months after getting a new one "just in case" but i do agree it's going to need to be repaired at least.

A backup phone is not the problem. You may not understand my problem because you live in a country that is very easy to have access to the latest technology, but unfortunatelly here in Brasil it is both dificult and expensive. When we buy something from oversea we hope/expect that we never need to use the warranty because if we do we don't have, only a few corporates does honor the warranty oversea in case their product has been bought oversea and HTC is not the case, so they ask me to send to USA to fix it, the first problem with that is the shipping price that is over U$150, the second problem is the import/export regulations on my country that will tax it 100% when it come back from US and the last problem is that HTC does not ship to Brasil and I have no one there to bring it to me here in Brasil, so warranty is out of question for me.
So basically I am over frustrated to had spent over U$800 to get this device and it is not working properly.
Understand now?
You can use a bluetooth dongle as a workaround.
My dear mates!

If you have tried various roms and a factory reset but to no avail it sounds like you have a hardware issue with the camera. A return for a replacement would therefore be your only option. It's easy to prove given the fact it's easily reproduced, take it back to the shop and open the camera, they should replace the handset no questions asked. They certainly would here in the UK anyway.

if you store your photos on sd card...may be your sd card is corrupted, that's why camera fails.
Try a different sd card

Hey, my LG g2 had water damage but happily worked after two weeks in the rice, now the only thing that's not working, (the rest works perfectly fine, even the battery) is the sim card reader, because the phone keeps telling me service disabled, I've tried several working simcards but it just doesn't work. Is this a broken simreader or a software error, and if its a broken simreader, would it be possible for my local phone repair shop to fix that?
Thanks in advance!
Bump
Most likely it's a hardware erro due to an electrical short caused by the water. If it worked fine before, then it is. You can always flash to stock to be sure. But my guess is harware damage.
BUMB Still have this error, people help please!

Hello everyone, my first post
My phone have similar malfunction but there was no water inside. The question is how your phone behaves? I mean that in my one every single function responsible for network is inactive (I cannot turn on data transmission whether chose preferred network mode). All those buttons are just inactive. I moved back to stock rom but same happens. How about yours?

I have the same intermittent problem. I took my G2 to the LG technical assistance and the diagnostic was a problem in the motherboard that would cost the price of a new smartphone.
In the youtube i found a solution, but I dont have the skill and the tools to do it.
In case you want to try: watch?v=AcdvkrtaLW0
Thanks but I have found that way of trying to repair it already... Now I have noticed that my G2 is loosing IMEI number... (ther is null). During another going back to stock rom I have found it out. For a while it was working but it stopped after a reset. Now I am struggling with solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701861
but stucked at step 5. I have MTP connection but QPST does not see my device. I tried all connections modes, some ports appears but QPST functions does not work (I suppose it needs to be MTP connection). I have also tried to solve my "sted 5 problem" as it is done here:
https://youtu.be/y2lHFy7AciE?t=413
But still QPST does not see phone on that port.
My question is that IMEI problem is caused by software or hardware? Is that possible that hardware issue can make it happens? I ask becasue I will try to correct soldering pads on that chip as newonmars says but this is the very last thing that I want to try.
EDIT:
After all software tries it does not bring any result. At the end I tried to work with hotair as it is in dinizariel link and it works perfectly. Thanks!
