Interesting behavior lately, on my sg5. There are times (more and more often, recently) when neither Google's camera app, nor camera zoom fx show anything on the screen, as if there was no visibility through the actual camera hardware. Rebooting the phone brings back functionality, but only for a while (a few hours), after which the strange no image comes back.
I have also experienced strange "disappearances" of pictures I just took, which show up in a gallery app (the default, or quick pick), but which are nowhere to be found after closing the camera app.
Has anybody seen anything similar? I would really hate to go back to resetting to defaults - had rooted and xposed customized this phone to my liking. And - no - this behavior is not associated with any recent xposed activity / configs...

Did that two ways: like you suggested, and - prior to that - via titanium...

I have similar on stock, without root.
When I open up default camera application, there is no picture, just blank screen and phone becomes very laggy. Screen looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But it happens just sometimes.
E.g. once per 3 days and soft reboot is the solution.
Don't know the root cause Mine is SM-G900FD with BOC1 firmware.
Tried a factory reset already, but didn't help. Didn't try safe mode yet, as it might be related to some application e.g. facebook, viber, etc. which has access to camera.
Happens to my also since Lollipop on SM-G900F, tried the new stock BOC7 and now is better but it still there, the error and the blank screen. I noticed it happens more often in the evening/night. I've tried everything, wipe cache, reset camera. Hope Samsung will release a fix, no problems whatsoever on KitKat,

I see, so that will be probably different issue. Mine started also with lollipop, there were no problems on kitkat.

Not sure what the cause is, just got my 7 yesterday.. stock rooted, aokp, doesn't make a difference- dropbox doesn't work and just gives the error "Storage full or unavailable"..
Doing a search, the only thread that mentioned it was "[ROM]| Glazed JellyBean|Version 1.1.2|Glazed Mods|Custom Animations|Speed|" and it had to do with an error in the rom, not my issue.
I've tried reinstalling the app, factory reset, flashing aokp(from stock rooted)- none have had a working dropbox, but I can't find any other posts that others have had the same issue.
I also have a few error 492 when downloading a few apps from market(like dead trigger), not sure if it is related..
Is dropbox looking for an external SD?
And "Protect usb storage" is NOT checked in developer options, just in case someone asks.
All I did was unlock bootloader, root.. nothing that should keep dropbox from working.
Although Im on stock but unlocked bootloader and rooted i have had the play store error and i just restarted and it worked fine since, dropbox i cant help mine logs in fine and i can use it perfect

My issue seems to be more than just drop box.. stock gallery app closes immediately after showing this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As I said, pretty sure I didn't do anything to cause this.. I'm assuming there's a way to flash the original software that will repartition the device(like flashing HTC phones with ruu, or Samsung with Odin)?
I haven't had a lot of time to look into these things since o got it yesterday, so if anyone has a quick possible solution is appreciate it!
Edit: I'd like to know if this process([Guide] Returning to Stock and/or Unbricking your device) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781250 actually repartitions everything.. but I decided to go trade this one out for another one rather than beat my head on a wall with an issue no one else appears to have. Still worth finding out.

My Samsung Keyboard has disappeared. Whatever application I'm in I cannot type any word. Not with letters and not with handwriting. There is an empty rectangle at the bottom where the keyboard should be (see picture). It does not show keys and also it does nothing when I tap onto the empty space. Google voice typing does work.

More information about my phone and what I have done, trying to be complete:
Device type: Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 (GT-S7710) (no separate subforum for this one yet). I had been flashing a custom system.img to it using linux heimdall. After flashing the system.img it did not boot, so I re-flashed images from the stock rom (GT-S7710/PHN/S7710XXAMB5.html). That made the device boot again. But as said: it did not have the samsung keyboard or it crashes every time. Not sure.
This is what I already tried to get it back, but to no avail:
clear cache and force stop for Samsung Keyboard, Google Services and Media Storage
restore to factory default from system menu
wipe cache and wipe data/restore to factory from recovery
reflash with S7710XXAMB6_OXEAMB3.zip (a full service ROM with images for more partitions)
see if samsung would update the system (samsung wouldn't: it was up-to-date)
download languages for input methods and selected English(UK) for all
disable bloatware
rebooted after all things I tried
Hoping for advise or pointers into a direction to search further. Anyway thanks for reading.
The keyboard re-appeared and I would like to understand why. This is what I had done in the meantime:
installed Swiftkey Trial
had an update for Samsung Push Service
did a restore in Helium backup app
rooted by flashing system image with su binary
Thanks for any thoughts about the crashing Samsung Keyboard (and the mysterious revival )

My opinion is that you shouldn't be wondering why is it working. I mean I always question everything but it is mostly pointless. Like why did the chicken cross the screen. It just did. Also, why are you even using Android keyboard? There are much better ones.

It is all because I like to understand how it works.

I'm completely missing my keyboard. I'm rooted and I may have uninstalled samsung keyboard to free some space. I made a factory reset and now everything is gone including swiftkey which Was my prefered keyboard.

Hello
It was suggested on another forum to alleviate audio video sync issues across multiple apps you should wipe your system cache. I am running lollipop 5.0.2 rooted.
Anyways I did the system cache clear through recovery and when I rebooted my phone the sprint screen hung for a minute then a black screen appeared followed by numerous prompts stating that various services were stopped.
I keep pressing okay to each prompt and another one follows. It seems like the service / app is trying to start but cannot. I am left with a black screen that continues to pop up these dead services.
Has anyone experienced this? I thought a system cache clear was harmless. What can I do so I do not lose my data.
Please help I need this stupid thing for work.
Thank you

Have you tried doing it again? Was it in stock recovery? What option did you press? Video lag fix is in my OD2 mods thread in Themes & Apps.

Hi, I ran into a strange problem while doing some modifications to my phone earlier today. While trying to address another minor problem that my phone was having, I decided to try to reinstall my xposed framework to see if I could fix the problem. However, after flashing the uninstall zip file using TWRP, when my phone booted back up, everything on my screen had become... smaller. Not just my icons, but the size of the the notification bar and things like the size of my system's text. I immediately went into and searched through all of the settings that I could find, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary (e.g. it said my font was already at 100% and condensed mode was off, and no luck either in my nova launcher settings). I re-flashed the xposed framework to see if it would fix the problem, but it remained even after reinstalling. It's honestly a minor issue, but I'm tearing my hair out because of it x(. I'm hoping that there's a solution that's right in front of me but I just can't seem to find ;A;
I'm using a Galaxy S7 Edge (international ver, so G935F) on Android 6.0.1 and the xposed framework that I'm running is v85.1 sdk23 arm64 by wanam.
Here's a comparison of how my screen looked before and after all this happened:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I think the problem is your DPI.
Navigate to settings>display>display scaling.
If your selected option is condensed, set it back to standard and reboot your phone.
I don't know how flashing the xposed framework changed it, but that's beyond me.
Good luck.

Thanks! It was not set to condensed, but after switching it to condensed and then back again it seems to have fixed the problem
