Go to settings / applications / all and clear data for camera.
If it doesn't fix the problem, do a Wipe data/factory reset + Wipe Cache

Reboot?
Or, consider if you have installed any other app that is hogging the camera.

I have the exact same problem!
First time I got this was after running com.magix.camera_mx from Google Play.
The app made a force close, and it kept doing that. Didn't think much about it.
But after a few minutes I tried using the stock app.
It opened, and I saw the camera for ~2 seconds, until the auto focus kicked in.
When the auto focus kicks in, the screen freezes, if you close/kill/whatever the app and reopens it. It just shows a black screen with that error OP wrote.
"fix":
Hold down power button, and hit the reboot.
You now have until next time it tries to auto focus.
Repeat until you got your picture
Another "fix":
Factory recovery
This gives you a few hours to play, where the auto focus and everything is working
Without installing/doing something, it suddenly "dies" again.
I'm ready to try any suggestions there is, since this can be temporary fixed with factory reset I assume its a software error.
But I won't root or flash anything, as I want to be able to sent it in for repair if needed.

Update: After more testing I found out the camera ONLY works when it's plugged into the 2A charger or battery is full. :s - I will send it in for repair tomorrow (7 may 2013)
Update 2: Got it back from repair, there was both software update for the phone. And after that it asked me to upgrade the camera firmware. Everything seems to work fine now.

My phone restarts itself at night, is yours also behave like this?

I have a weird problem with my note 4. It restarts itself 2-3 times but only at night. It starts at about 3, 4 am and then every hour or so until 7 am. I hear the buzz on every restart. Also my gear fit connects and disconnects every time with a vibration buzz. It drives me nuts!
Do you have the same problem?
I already tried a factory reset, also disabled the automatic sync to the servers. Also formatted the SD card inside the phone and tried to remove it completely but the phone still restarted at night.
I went to the Samsung center- they sent it to the lab and the lab said that the phone does not have any problem at all- but they did not check it at night.
I'm on the latest firmware N910FXXU1ANJ4
Can you help me? What could be the problem? what can I do???

If it happens again...get a video recorder..record the event...show it to samsung..demand a replacement. My device had no problems what so ever when it was completely stock, or after rooting or when using custom rom.

That is so odd...! What if you tried to video record the phone restarting and show it to the service centre? Maybe with a timestamp so you can stitch together the restarts and demonstrate what happens every night.

I will do what you suggest . I will record the phone on video and show them what it does. This is not normal if I'm the only one who have that problem.

Hope you can exchange a new one
I dont have that problem

I will sue them. This is the only way. Because they are like wall. not possible to prove that you are right

I did a factory reset. Also removed the SD card and checked. It does the same thing.

I don't think that there is a solution. There is something wrong with the phone because not all the units faulty. Tonight i will film the phone on video camera to prove it and sue the company. They refusing to refund my money because they claim that the phone does not have any problem.

I have got that issue, but it just turn off by itself while recharging at night

I'm having the same problem with my Moto X 2014. It reboots itself only at nights one or more times. I've trying everything without any success. Did you manage to fix yours?
Thanks!

Do you have any memory management software installed? Some of them kick in when phone is not used for longer time and maybe it deletes something what causes phone to reboot?

If it's only at night whilst charging, it could just be an overheat problem.

Nexus 4 screen freezes randomly, no reaction when touching.

Hi everyone!
So I just had this problem after I woke up yesterday. I googled a lot but only found similiar problems.
Let me tell you what happened chronologically:
After turning the phone on in the morning it started updating apps as if I was doing a firmware update: "updating apps 1 of 135" etc. Note that my nexus was already running on 5.1.1 and had the latest updates installed.
Now it randomly freezes the screen on whatever screen it was before it happens and it won't respond to any touch input. This can also happen when not using the phone, then it will freeze at the lockscreen (the time freezes with it so sometimes i can see at what time it froze). Also, it loses connection with Wi-Fi as i'm using Whatsapp Desktop when i'm on my laptop and it mentions me that my phone is not connected.
The only thing that "fixes" (temporarily) it is a reboot. Now sometimes, on the lockscreen, i can just hold the power button and the pop-up comes in to turn the phone of, which i can somehow just tap on an it responds by turning the phone off. But sometimes (less frequent than the latter mentioned) the pop-up doesn't come in and holding the power button for a few secs will do the trick.
I hope I informed you all enough and my end question is: does any of you know what this is? How i can fix it or what i can do to prevent it or anything as I am hopeless. (my G3 is up for reparation so this is my sisters old phone, i had a nexus 4 myself for 2 years before the G3).
Thanks in advance!!

The best way to test it is by reformat the OS.
I positively think that it will solve the problem.
Since the phone is no longer under warranty, I guess there is no harm to install custom rom on it. They are fast and stable too.
Hope this help. Good luck.

EXACT thing happened to me too. Backup your data and hard reset from recovery. This fixed it for me

Same problem here bro, but neither custom roms or factory reset helps.... Is there anyone who has successfully solved the problem ?

Then it's time to change the screen or phone. Looks like it is a hardware issue.

I agree, your screen needs to be replaced.

Anyone else suffering from "freezing" issues?

Hello guys
I have the LG G6 (UK-Unlocked-H870) with Android 7.0 July security patch. It froze on me about 3-5 times now. Once, it happened out of the blue and took me like 30 minutes until i could force it to restart. I had to press vol up/down and power button for a good 40 seconds-2 minutes.
Second time it was when i had the camera open and i tried capturing a team photo via my LG Watch Style. It took about 20 minutes until i could force restart it. (the screen was on and stuck on my homescreen)
The other time i couldn't restart the phone for about 1,5 hours and it looked like it was bricked. It seemed like it was turned off and it wasn't responsive to anything (the screen went pitch black/turned off). Tried putting in on a charger, tried different button combinations and everything, i could force it to boot up with no issues somehow (using similar button combinations as said above). Nothing could have cause it to freeze as nothing was open, nothing was running in the background except Nova Launcher and a few minor important services.
Yesterday, it froze again after taking a picture via my LG watch. It took another 15-20 minutes after i could finally force it to restart. Strange i have to say. Anyone else experienced this before? I only have some occasional slow downs from time-to-time when i have a lot of apps open in the background, but it's weird to see that a phone like this can free on such levels.
I'll try doing a hard reset in a couple days and see if it solves my problem, if it doesn't i'll probably try my best to return it and get a replacement. I just would like to find out if anyone else has had this issue, if so, how did you solve it?

I never had freezing issue on my H870, just some lag (3-5 sec) when i get much notification s. Try formatting your phone

I have H870DS and I am not facing such issue either.

Sounds like a rogue app, have my H870 for 3 months and hasn't frozen once.

It might be, since no one is having any issues. I'll try and do a hard reset this weekend and hope that it solves the issue.

If you do a hard reset use the button method its more comprehensive

Mine been regularly freezing on Android pie.

I had the same issue, phone freezes and then restarts. Once the phone restarts it overheats and it's stuck in a boot-loop. Looks like the phone goes crazy once it connects to a wifi... Hard reset my phone, I'll see if the issue persists.
UPDATE: Phone freezes immediately after connecting to wifi, any suggestions ? LG G6 H870 stock rooted.

HELP little red sensor(?) always on next to front camera idk why

Hello all!
Yesterday I was 9gagging in my bed, and I noticed that little led started constantly lighting. Tried 2-3x to reboot but nothing happened, after the startup it started to light again... https://imgur.com/a/m4FK9lC You can see it in the picture.
Other question:
My screen rotation is also bugged. Tried to fix that with those reboots, but again nothing happened. I can not rotate my phone. (Only youtube fullscreen rotates the image, anything else stays horizontal)
Maybe its time for a ROM? The system starting to fall apart, had numerous random reboots etc. But I am afraid that with the ROM, a I will have a lot of other problems, like bluetooth and wifi not working together, camera is gonna be ****ty without LG's app.
What should i do?

That is the proximity sensor, and it is a normal behavior, otherwise it couldn't do its job

Yeah i know, but it should not light 24/7 and it did not light 24/7 before. Its a weird bug. And its really annoying... Especially at night...

Have you tried factory reset? Ib know it's the easy answer but I think it's the best in your case.
Anyway, it seems like a hardware issue, so if it persists after factory reset, I would send the phone to repair (i hope is still under warranty)

Yes it does. It turns off AOD in your pocket, raise-to-pick-up, screen off when in call.
There are a lot of actions connected to this sensor.
Btw, mine is also on all the time.

Just tried factory reset now for the rotation bug, it looks like I somehow totally broke it. I used pixel live wallpapers, especially the Zion national park one which used the accelerometer constantly. Tried a numerous kind of calibration apps, and all of them failed.
Totally hopeless now, i have to use a ****ty app to rotate my screen every time :/
