yesterday and suddenly when I take some pictures, the camera resolution become very very poooor. although I am very careful about my mobile, and never fall or break forum my hand.
also device temperature rise when I used it or when I connect it to my laptop, specially in the area under camera and in the screen.

weird issue indeed... heat is normal is cpu gets really stressed.
I would recommend:
- Remove battery for a minute
- Then, delete cache partition and hard reset
- Install stock FW with odin
- Delete cache again
- Test

are you already rooted or are you on stock? If you are on stock, you should have no issues. Odin is good.
I'm in stock,
i well try to do your suggestion.
official stock is from sammobile?
Yes try those

I'm facing the same issue with the European N9005, with this stock firmware installed. Tried factory reset after first start. Already wiped all internal storage using twrp.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Cheers
shoot fails
Good afternoon, I'm even vit0r94 problem, I even can take pictures but when I shoot fails, someone help us?
Exactly the same crash when trying to record video. Already tried to go back to stock ROM with all the modems etc. Tried Note 4 port, S6 Darklord and so on. Every time I clear cache, data, etc.
Any clue would be appreciated

Same here on the SM-N9005 LTE. I've wiped the whole phone, took out the ext sd card, went back to several different stock firmwares and still crashes. Pictures work fine, as soon as press the video recording button it freezes and a few seconds later it reboots the phone.
I'm afraid this will be a hardware issue....

I was able to solve it by going back to the stock kitkat (4.4.2) rom through ODIN. There my camera was recording video perfectly fine. I then updated to Lollipop again and the camera (video recording) was still working fine. Very strange as I wiped/reflashed several times before downgrading to kitkat and that never worked.
recording failed on any lolipop rom
i have a same problem here. I dont think it was a hardware issue as when i was in KK the video recording works perfectly, but when i flash ANYKIND of lolipop rom, the video recording failed. but if i was to used AOSP lolipop, the video recording works fine.
anyone can help? i've tried searching and all, but doesnt seem to find the solution.
feels like i'm stuck at KK and cant move on. feels like u have a hi tech computer but u only can use windows xp, sad...
much appreciated guys!

Really Nothing
Is there a reason why no one has posted a fix or a how to for this I have seen the Update bootloader and CP but in my attempts to do this Odin has failed I have done everything under the sun to try and fix this and nothing I have looked up and down on Google, Androidpit, and obviouslt here on XDA and I have found nothing does any one want to lend a hand here or does no one really know how to fix it????
There's a solution in this thread
Well downgrading then upgrading seems like a bit of a hail Mary pass worth trying will update as to whether or not it actually worked thk8gh it sounds more like a one in a million fix.
So I solved it by:
Using Odin 3.11.1
I have already tried Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flashed the latest stock Lolipop or older lollipop with ODin and nothing solved the problem.
So I tried to flash the latest stock lolipop with Odin and marking checked (Auto Reboot , F. Reset Time , Phone EFS clear, Phone Bootloader update).
I suspect that the Phone EFS clear did the trick. It's function is related to the modem and radio of the phone. And clearly the modem has a problem here.
I hope this will help anybody out there having this issue.
This problem happened after trying to flash lollipop using FlashFire app to reserve the root that I had in my previos Android KK 4.4.2.

Hi! I recently updated my i9505 to the xugng8 firmware via kies. Ever since, my phone has been randomly rebooting itself. The reboots are quick enough, so it doesn't look like the phone is completely rebooting, more like a half reboot. I have tried formating, but that didn't help. I have the phone rooted but using stock firmware.
Any ideas what could be causing this? Thanks

You have to uninstall every Knox app, that will stop the reboots

Remove all Knox related apps via "Titanium Backup" and you are good to go. :good:
there is also an xposed module that deals with these random reboots, but personally i think the best way is to revert to an earlier firmware. fnb8 is rock solid.
I have just upgraded my firmware to NG8 (UK) and my phone reboots randomly, no matter what I am doing. After receiving a call, using gmaps, etc..
I will try the suggested solution with removing the knox sh*t and report back.
Yes

Yes, same problem here exactly. Any solution to fix this WITHOUT ROOT or reverting back to xxufnb9 ?
I found that uninstalling all knox apps and resetting a private app fixed my problem. I have been restart free for the last 2 days! I suggest using BBS to find out what app is causing wakes and reset them.

yup same here after reading this thread and removing all knox crap.... phone has not had a self reboot reboot for the day...
Revert
Had to reflash the old XXUFNB9, it was useless with all those restarts. Downgrade went okey, however need to delete the Media Storage `s cache because it will keep crashing. Testing now if it solved the problem.
Update 1: after 2 hours later no restart so far..
I recommend this solution who doesn`t want to loose everything and risking if a factory reset will solve this issue. There is a problem with the KNOX 2.0 update (XXUGNG8) ...
Update 2: Link for the firmware, for whoever choose to do this way: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=31852
Ok, just a quick update, I have used googlemaps for 2 hours, and tomtom navigator for 1 hour on my S4, made and received a few calls without issue. No REBOOTS.. I think it was definitely the knox crap...

Stabil for 3 hours or 2 days - well that's for sure great ....
You both must be joking - take older NB8 and you can have an uptime of > 1 month without any problem,
All newer version are worse -
As s.o. mentioned, there is an Xposed Modul made by Thomas Hofmann that tries to solve this. This is not a Knox problem but seems to be in AOSP itself - although might mainly be triggered by Knox 2.0 (NB8 is still Knox 1.0). In general situation goes worse the more processes are started, i.e. with heavy load. It is said to happen not only with S4 but e.g. also with N3.
As Thomas Hofmann stated: "I figured out that actually the system server process crashed due to an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException"
If you want to know details plz have a look at Thomas's blog. With his modul he mainly catches a faulty parameter value that would otherwise cause a certain method to crash. As a result he manages to avoid the reboot but of course the real problem goes deeper, so to fix this for real Google / Samsung are needed.
=> I want a 4.4.4 rom with towelroot fixed, without those ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsExceptions and as solid as NB8 - but I doubt Samsung is able or willing to do this.
I am using STOCK i9505 4.4.2 ROM which is rooted. I don't use towelroot because I don't have to. I also try to stay away from premade Roms and Kernels beause i don't have time to test and tinker with eveything.
After a few days of removing knoxcrap, I can conclude, that it is the issue with my phone. My i9505 is now working perfectly......
Have to agree with you. Since removing all the knox stuff, Haven't had a reboot since! Been over a week now at this stage!

Yes, many think this to be a nice 'feature' to get root, but that rediculous. Towelroot (plus the older Exynos bug - but that was Samsung specific) is the biggest bug in Android since many years. Using a kernel that is not hardened against this (this unfortunately includes the otherwise almost perfect NB8 rom) could mean you couldn't be save anymore from someone taking over your phone unnoticed using root authorization.

As said those reboots most certaintly are caused by a bug in AOSP code itself - but in fact they seem to be mainly triggered by Knox 2.0. Otherwise a lot more phones other than S4 or N3 should be involved.
As we will never know fpr sure if and when Google/Samsung will solve the real reason of this problem and "removing" Knox 2.0 seems to help, it would be very nice of you (juzzy16, nm8, sneazy) to perhaps add another comment in 2-3 weeks about reboot behaviour again including the rom version you are using and what exactly of Knox you had removed.:good:
Hello
I'm comming from jellybean and i just did an update with odin to lollipop. I've 2 problems.
1: the wifi is greyed out and i can't turn it on.
2: I can't open the playstore and i can't add my google account in the account setting. I'm getting this message : google play services has stopped.
I did a clean flash ( wiped all data and restored to factory setting. I flashed the original lollipop rom now for the second time and thats not helping.
Does any one now a solution for this?

flashed some custom kernel (AEL v2, CivZ explorer Rev3.1) but wifi remain grayed ...
Hello
Yes it's working fine now for me. The update bootloader solved the problem for me. Do you have exactly the same problems that i had?

Stuck like the others
Im having the same issue. Tried flashing the rom multiple times, also my gps no longer locks except when it feel the need. Had a shop look at the gps and they replaced the antenna for the GPS and said it was good to go and gave me an app (GPS Status & Fix) and said it was all free of charge. I feel as if the rom i got from Sam caused this. Any help would be great.
I'm having exact same issue. How did you guys solve it?
Thanks
Hello there! I have a two problems wifi and BT doesn't work or greyed. Any possible things to fix them? These were my issues before on my note 2. I flashed new firmware for note 2 then the issues fixed, so do you think flashing note 4 firmware would actually help or fix the issues for my note 4 now?
This is not Note 4 forum .
Ask in N4 forum .

I have an extremely persistent set of problems:
1. Unable to record video
- stock camera freezes and the phone restarts (no matter the resolution or storage)
- other camera apps (mx, open, google..) either freezes or acts like its recording but it doesn't
2. While playing some videos, the phone freezes and restarts (in 90% its instagram videos, but sometimes it plays them fine)
What i tried:
- a bunch of roms. The problems probably started with some of them.
- returned to a stock lolipop
- several custom and stock kernels
- a bunch of camera apps
Currently i'm on Audax rom v26.1 with its audax kernel.
Does anyone have idea what could i try?
Could it be a hardware problem? (other than that, camera works fine)
Thanks in advance.
So I solved it by:
Using Odin 3.11.1
I have already tried Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flashed the latest stock Lolipop or older lollipop with ODin and nothing solved the problem.
So I tried to flash the latest stock lolipop with Odin and marking checked (Auto Reboot , F. Reset Time , Phone EFS clear, Phone Bootloader update).
I suspect that the Phone EFS clear did the trick. It's function is related to the modem and radio of the phone. And clearly the modem has a problem here.
I hope this will help anybody out there having this issue.

Hi there,
Sorry, but did not face any issue like that before.
If you have searched a lot for a solution and could not solve it, I suggest that you install this ROM:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/purify-cm-13-hlte-n9005-unofficial-cm13-t3337234
This happened to me once after a terrible mistake , which is not related to my above issue. Then I installed this ROM and never looked back. Much snappier phone, lower battery usage and less heated device. I just love it. The only thing that I missed, the better camera app in the stock ROM, and the TouchWiz ability to show multiple apps at the same time.
I strongly suggest that you do a Nandroid backup then give this ROM a try. If you did not like it, you can always return to the Nandroid backup again.
You are frustrated now, like I was. Take a deep breath, and remember that we all went through such bad times with our phone, not just you. This is part of the experience of using such complicated devices. You will solve it eventually, believe me!
