After a long time since I write here I must ask for your help, Good Morning and sorry for my English!
For a year I suffer from a problem with my S4, GT-I9505 ITV Italy. Saving themselves fortunately ,in the water, only had problems with the camera . Everything goes to wonder just that when I try to switch between camera back to that to make " Selfie " is as if it were non-existent , at least if you use the ' application of samsung . The problem also with key camera settings . These two problems are solved with the ' camera use google or other applications ! Lollipop in S4 did not solve the problem , what can I do ? Thank!

First i want to apologize my bad english. I´ll try my best. You guy´s from xda are known worldwide and you are my last hope.
I switched from the S3 to Note 3. It was delivered yesterday.
I read here and there about the Problem some People do have with there YouTube app (Stuttering).
I`m using a fast wi-fi Connection (100mbit) and i have the old s3 and the new note 3 in front of me. on the S3 every single movie runs perfect!
On my Note 3 not a single online Videos runs smooth.
Youtube app: constant stutter every 5 seconds.
Browser embeded Videos (4player.de for example) 15-20fps.
"Game one app" from playstore (gaming Magazin) 5-10fps !!!! unwatchable.
I have so many questions and no answer.
Is it a hardwarefailure (because there are many Note 3 user without that Problem)?
Is it a Firmware bug (4.3)? Why doesn´t anyone have the same Problem.
Is it an application bug (maybe not compatible with 4.3) ? But why do browser movies run bad too (no app).
What did i try so far?
I turned off smartpause. I did a factory reset and i switched hardware videoaccelaration under developer Options on. I used Odin to Flash a unbranded original Samsung Firmware (no root). Nothing changed.
So my hope is that you guys from xda could use your international "credits" to ask samsung for an official answer.
It can´t be that the most expensive Samsung Smartphone has these massiv Problems!
I have the Feeling it´s only a Problem of the black Note 3. By the way...my black note 3 (Telekom Branding) has this Homebutton Problem too.
Maybe other users with the same problem could write down if there Phone is black or white, moveable homebutton and which branding.
Thanks for your help!!
Greetings Rik
it might be hardware failure, best thing to do is going to where you first bought your phone and ask for replacement.
hi , i have got i9505 and after oficial samsung 4.4.2 update , my camera is not working , so when i turn on app the front camera i OK but when i switch rear camera then the screen is black and if i take a photo also the photo is only black picture , something about hardwere problem is not , becouse ago 1 hour with android 4.3 everything was OK .... so how to fix that problem ???
Hi,
Try flashing a third party camera from Play Store, so we can check where the problem is.
~Lord
i install some other camera apps but there is also the problem ( i think it is something in OS not in stock app ) because camera also cant work with other apps and the screen is black again.....
Hi,
That indeed looks like an OS issue. I'd recommend you try flashing the stock ROM again, for more info regarding this visit the Galaxy S4 Help Thread.

Phone restarted , installed everything and it was running as always. But then i tried camera , because there was some new feature with photo preview or whatever and the thing is that camera wont focus at all. It doesnt matter if low light or good ligh , flash on , of. It just wont focus anymore.

Edit : I have just realised that camera can focus really close objects , like in 10 cm distance. But thats all.

Hi,
I'd suggest trying some different camera apps, just to see if the focus behaves differently in other apps. Then I'd try different settings in the stock camera app like auto focus, smart stabilization - just to see if the outcome is any different. If the camera indeed behaves differently on other apps or other settings in the stock app, than it might be a software issue (factory reset maybe?). I mean since you say it appears since updating, a factory reset might fix it...who knows.
Tried everything
Tried google camera app , tried reseting setting on samsung camera , still only macro is working.
By doing factory reset , all of my data and app will be deleted ? I dont really want to do that.
Yeah, that will wipe your data aswell. You could use full backups if you're rooted or if you have custom recovery flashed, but if you are using pure stock, then I can understand that you're not into wiping everything. Other than wiping, I can't give you more advice. Maybe someone else knows what to do.
Factory reset done , still not working

I just did factory reset and camera is still unable to focus I guess that i am sending this phone right away tomorrow and gonna change it for xperia z2 Note 3 is amazing but camera in low light is bad. And i need good camera in low light. Gonna miss S pen , bit amoled screen , usb 3.0 , 32 gig of internal storage and more. But low light camera performance is really poor.
I've had this problem on my note 2. It is a hardware problem. I had to replace the camera itself and it worked fine after. Something must've borked it during the update. Very uncommon, though.
OK , I try to make it more easier to understand the peoblem:
" when I Play YouTube , everything goes fine with it EXCEPT that kind of " broken sound " ( it sounds like your CD got starches on it or some kind of signal jammed ) "
I was thinking that my speaker might broken( dam , IT's NEW) , need a replacement or sth
" BUUUTTTT, I use another online video apps , it sounds great as hell, listening to music , great too "( I tried use headphone , it's good too,EXCEPT YouTube )
Hum, coz 4.4.4. ? bugs there ? youtube bugs ?
" I tried to use Chrome browser( for YouTube) , it happened again and again , "
OK, I assumed that the problem might comes with the 4.4.4 bugs there , IF NOT , what is that ???? please IF you faced the same problem as I am and finally fixed , do tell me pls .
I m looking for 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 comes out , if it could helps me a bit of that , or replace my speaker someday .

It's not a bug. It's actually a hardware limitation. The speaker cannot read and execute some sound frequencies hardcoded in Youtube videos. This is because Google renders and optimizes the video to play on wide range of devices sacrificing the sound quality on some devices.
Hardware limitation?OMG!
Anyway, is that happened to all kinds of note 4 user? I wanna know, coz it makes me feel better
Any software tools could help with this problem ?
Btw, THX mate

This should affect all Note 4 users regardless of which model that they have. I've been using Noozxoid EIZO Essentials to work around this problem. This app doesn't require root and is downloadable directly from the Play Store. It uses software rendering to convert the hardcoded frequencies to readable frequencies. This won't solve 100% of the sound quality you are experiencing, but it should definitely improve it.

Hi There!
I got my android nougat update recently , in India and there on I've been facing this no sound on notification issue .
It isn't something new for me as even on android 6 we had this issue , but earlier it could be fixed using the device help app , in which you'd test the speakers twice and it'll work fine..
However with the 7 we have the new device app which doesn't fix the problem .
And it isn't just me facing the no notification sound , but I'm sure many of the Moto G4 plus devices are facing .
I did post this on the motorola forum , however I know they'll be ass slow in releasing a software update fix for this .
If there's a tweak anybody can come up with , that'll really be grateful for a lot many users .
Thank you ^_^
Im not getting the problem which you are facing, notification sound is fine in my device.

Well , I have the xt 1643 and the issue is very common , I mean a lot and a lot of users are facing this , I don't know why you aren't facing the issue , it has been a software glitch since a long time . Which model do you have?
I Have 2 more friends facing the same issue , and I have read about it on the moto forums too , a lot have complained .
If you find a bit about it lemme know please , there must be a fix for this .
Do lemme know if you need some links , I have a few from the forums to show you what it actually is.

Doesn't work.
It's seriously a bugging issue .
At times you hear the notification sound , after some time they're completely mute.
Do you people have the ringer slider in your volumes?
Because it's supposed to be I guess , I just have 3 , the media , alarm and noti .
And Im pretty sure its cuz the ringer is messed up / missing .
Its a software thing , but maybe some tweak can fix this up .
I have tried the troubleshooting steps , doesn't work .
Also , I am sure it isn't any app causing it , have tried it in safe mode , and reset app preferences , nothing works.
And I'm not taking this to the service center , the first reason is - The media , music , works exceptionally well on nougat , the issue is with the notification , at times with skype and ringer . So its not a hardware issue , the second reason is - A lot of users , here in india atleast are facing the low sound bug.
I would really appreciate some tweaks man .
Thanks for your help though , I appreciate it
