[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lau4565:
Hey I just bought my S3 and I recognized that my camera has got a failure.?

When I want to capture a video there is One Pixel which flickers white :/ Am I the only person who has this problem ?

This problem occurs when I want to record a video but when I capture a photo there's no white flickering Pixel.

Is this a warranty problem ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
There's nothing wrong in that screenshot, it seems to me that your screen has that problem.

Actually when you zoom WAY in there is something.

Try take it back.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lau4565:
I'll try. The resolution is very small ( the xda app Dosen't Support bigger pictures )

Samsung Galaxy 9300 S III (S3) Camera Failure

I had the same problem. The only incident that I remember might cause this problem is that I rooted my mobile using the Samsung GS3 toolkit v1.0. I did that yesterday only. (See the firmware info attached). Since then, the camera app has same symptoms you mentioned and a dialog box: "Warning: Camera Failed" and a lovely "OK" button. (attached as well)

Any Hellllllllllllllllp???
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khatypically:
S3 camera failure resolution

Dears,

I was able to fix the camera problem. Thank God.

I installed the SGS3 International toolkit v 4.0, used the rooting options to re-root the phone (Flash insecure Boot Image and Root Phone), made sure that the Busybox is installed, then rebooted.

It went fine with me and the camera is working now. I am attaching the images of the Kernel version. May be the whole problem was with the ninphetamin3-1.1.0 that was used to set a higher clock speed? Not pretty sure.

Regards,

Khatypically.

Hey everyone, i'm a new coming from the OG razr and while i heard the radio on the s3 isn't as good as the razr i think my phone might have a problem. It seems to get stuck on 1x a lot and the only way to get back to 4g is to restart the phone. my phone is rooted but stock rom. Is this a common problem? Also under under APN LTE verizon internet is checked not EHRPD. Is this correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
Its not normal. Take it back before your 14 day period and they'll give you a brand new one for it. If you wait then you'll just get a refurb.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] topaz330:
is unrooting as easy as rooting? I'm hoping theres a script or program that can unroot as I'm not the most tech savvy. I'm guessing if i'm bringing it back i'll need to unroot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
You know how to use Odin? Look at section two, "how to get back to stock from any rom."

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1762709
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] topaz330:
dont know how to use odin but the instructions seems easy enough. Just got off the phone with CS and they tell me its most likely the sim card and not the phone and to go to a store to replace it. Is it true that the sim card actually controls the signal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
Yeah it's true, put simply. You can see if it's the sim. But like I said, if you try to get a replacement after your return period, then you'll just get a refurb. So be quick on the draw if the sim card doesn't fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bby144:
My s3 isn't having that bad of issues but still some bad data reception. Is Samsung going to do any updates or is it just going to be like this permanently
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
S3s are known to have a number of data issues. Call technical support and try their ideas. When you can rule everything else out, then you know it's your phone. Basically, if a new sim or a factory reset doesn't fix it, you need a new phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bby144:
Alright, I sent them an email and will probably call them if it starts to get worse.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Garrett67:
I took my phone in the store yesterday and they told me flat out that I sim card won't do anything for your signal. I'm not discounting what you're saying, just telling you guys what they told me.

My signal is garbage at home AND at work. I use wifi at home to play with the phone but actual 3G signal is bad. I am lucky to get 2 bars but its generally 1 with speed tests of about 80kbps.

I don't have WIFI at work, and get no signal at all.

I still have a week to return the phone but I'd like to keep it if I can get a better signal.

I am still within my 14 day, maybe 5 days left
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdk2:
Are you new to VZW or have all of your phones had the same problem?

With the thought of you possibly leaving VZW, you would think the store would have tried a new sim card, if only to pacify you. Or they might have offered to switch out the device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Garrett67:
I have been with Verizon for years. My Droid X didn't have the best signal but it was much better than this.

One problem is, the store is located in a 4G area, it works great there but it doesn't where I live, nor where I work (which is a decent sized city)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdk2:
It sounds like you have a bad phone. I'd be pushing for a new one before your worry-free period is up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Garrett67:
Okay, I reset my phone this morning and surprisingly, the signal is much better.

I went from 80-100kbps to about 500-600 kbps. Does that even make sense? The phone is only a week old

Now, perhaps I'm getting too hopeful here and the wind is blowing the right way today or something.

Yesterday I checked my signal with 'Open Signal' (I'd love to know of a good tower location app), and my signal was about 20-23%, right now its at 32-37%. I know that isn't a great jump but in the scheme of things, it is. I'm also at -97dBm, I think yesterday and the day before was over 100

I will note however that I'm still at 2 bars of 3G

I think its just chance , but I'll keep an eye on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Couple of weeks ago I also contacted VZW about bad signal/slow data speeds with my phone. They also told me a SIM would be the first fix to try. I had them send me one, for free 2nd day.

Before I swapped it out.. I rebooted my phone and put it in a certain spot and observed signal strength. In my house it ranges from -109 to -113. The data speeds, when the test would even finish, were abysmal. Ran 3 tests and in general they were about 500Kb/s down and anywhere from 0 to 300Kb/s Up. And that was on LTE!

Now without wiping my phone or anything I installed the new SIM and called VZW to activate as their website was bombing. Finally got the thing activated then put my phone back in the same exact spot to observe any changes. While signal strength did not get any better my data speeds increased a whole lot! In the same spot I was getting 5 Mb/s Down and 3 Mb/s Up on average.

Ive also noticed a decrease in LTE drops to 3G and 1X like I was getting before.

So while Ill say that it would seem to be impossible for a SIM to make your signal better, it just may help with your connection.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Garrett67:
Thanks for that, I'm going to go up there in awhile and at least swap the card
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] patt2k:
Well this is my side of the story I had the Galaxy Nexus before sometimes in New York I am in spots where I dont have 4G what is weaird when I go into someones house which i've been many times I only get 3G and then when I go outside I get LTE anyways at the same spot I get 1-2 3G bars and my friend gets 3 bars on iPhone 4S but when doing speed test on both it seems about the same.

Also I am running CM10 and when I was on stock I could tell the signal was a little bit better , you guys think it would be worth a try to swap out sim card as well? how do I make them give me a swap for free?

When you go to voicemail settings on an aosp rom, it asks you what you want to use for voicemail, which then let's you select Google voice. On stock Samsung, the voicemail settings panel goes straight into sprint visual voicemail. If you ever go aosp, set up Google voice and you'll notice the difference.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AliLaPointe:
Hey All,

Before going any further, I just wanted to acknowledge that there are other threads out there regarding this issue. However, none of them have indicated any contact with HTC. That said, I called HTC today because I noticed that I too have a slight bend to my phone. I have never dropped this thing and always keep it in my front pocket. I feel that our phones should hold up to everyday things..... like being in front pockets or in small backpack compartments. For the EVO LTE, this seems to not be the case.

When I called HTC, I spoke to a floor supervisor who told me this was the first he has ever heard of this issue. I think it behooves us to let HTC know that although not all are having issues with their phones bending, there are members of the community who, through very little fault of their own, have bent phones. In order to have HTC rectify this matter, it may be best for all of us to contact HTC and file reports/complaints. I had my issue escalated today, but the representative told me that not much may come out of it since this was the first he has heard of this.

Let me know what you guys think.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Good call on contacting them. I have no issue with this yet, but certainly would contact them if I did.

Maybe change the thread title to something that indicates you want people to contact HTC, or many will groan and not even open this thread.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
So you have no case on it? The phone does seem very fragile and bendable. I have had an Otterbox defender on mine since day 1 so I haven't experienced any bending myself.

SENT FROM MY EVO 4G LTE!!! (w/no LTE)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AliLaPointe:
I have a case on it. I understand why you would ask, but the product shouldn't bend just because it doesn't have a case. Scratches without a case, definitely. Bending? Definitely a design flaw.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mbaseball3:
I for one had it bend. But I know that if I were to call up HTC and say hey you guys shoulda known this issue and addressed it, they would either laugh at me and say have a nice day or, act like they've never ever had the issue nor heard of it and say its just your imagination or see to your doctor to change pills, or even say nothing we can do as its all how you as the customer treated your device. I would be shocked to ever hear anything come out of HTC as saying oops were sorry. Especially since the on going battle of source is still ensuing. Best case scenario, just buy a good case and move on with life.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 00dahc:
The wheels on one of my cars are more susceptible to bending than others. I can't imagine ever having the self-entitled thought of being owed compensation due to my negligence as the owner and operator.

But I haven't bent any wheels because I know they need a smidge more care than others just like you knew the Evo does.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thegregbradley:
That's a horrible analogy. He stated in the main post that he has never dropped the thing AND he has a case on it. He takes care of it just as you do your non-forged wheels, and yet it's still bent. This translates to manufacturers defect, and he is owed a replacement. Bending is not wear and tear, that's design flaw.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] falconey07:
Actually he doesn't mention having a case on it and he also insinuates that he put the phone in his back pocket. Regardless it doesn't hurt to contact HTC.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] metalfan78:
I think HTC needs to hear about this as much as possible, after reading all the threads about this, and noticing that mine is "warped" (twisted a little from corner to corner) it seems like a huge design flaw. Hopefully they take it into account when designing their next phone.

"We're coming from a pure power source"
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] forceOnature:
Mine is no longer straight when sighted lengthwise in the same axis as volume buttons. It has a bend right between the red stripe and the volume buttons. The bend is also present on the opposite side of the phone. I have a case on it and never put it in my back pocket.

I have applied a very small amount of force using my fingers after noticing this and can make the phone flex quite easily.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] miguelfp1:
mentions having a case on it in post #4, also mentions in the first post he keeps it in his front pocket, same as me and a bunch of other people in the forum

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] metalfan78:
Yea I love the phone, I've never owned one so fragile though. It's always in the otterbox commuter case and I use the seidio active holster, i'm afraid of putting it in my pocket.

"We're coming from a pure power source"
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AliLaPointe:
I totally understand that we are cynical. However, this doesn't make it right. The relationship between a consumer and a producer is based somewhat off of reputation. We bought these phones, and not a cheap iphone clone or a knockoff of some other brand because we expected these to be reliable. I don't expect HTC to bend to our will, but they should at the very least look into this.

Thanks to all of you who actually took the time to read the post and not just jump to conclusion. If this is actually something you care about, call HTC and let them know whats up. Have the issue escalated and get a case number. They will not do ANYTHING about this flaw for us, or for future phones if they are not aware it exists.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cyrene:
I'm wondering if some of these phones were built with a weak spot while others were not. I have never dropped my phone or put it in my back pocket, bit I do keep it cased (tpu) in a separate zippered compartment in my purse. I take it in and out of there all the time. I would think this is worse than a man's front shirt pocket, yet mine is not bent at all. I've had it since launch. I absolutely think HTC should be contacted and I would argue that it is a manufacturing defect.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Quis89:
How tight are you guy's pants? I have had this phone since it released. Very seldom use my case since I love the slim design and I haven't had this issue. I keep the phone in my front pocket. I honestly don't see how this is possible with no user influence.

Getting the phone or wearing tight skinny jeans?

Apparently so. Because there is no way this phone bends in a regular sized pocket. These guys must have their phones pushed up against their thighs or something.

Mine is bent a little too. I have noticed that if you CAREFULLY bend it back the opposite way, you can actually straighten it back. I guess the glass is a little flexible too.

Kinda scary how easy it is to "adjust" this phone. This is something that HTC needs to know and address with their engineers.

How did you convince them to replace it and who replaced it for you?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woody296:

Why do I wear skinny jeans then? I can't find anything else that will fit me properly. I am tall, thin and have an abnormally short torso with abnormally long legs. Pants in general don't fit me properly. Either the waist fits and the legs are too short or the waist is too big and the legs are just right. Skinny jeans, specifically skater jeans, fit me perfectly.

So ha.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] funcrusher:
How about: NO.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BamAlmighty:
Instead of whining to HTC, how about taking responsibility for your own actions and use some common sense? The EVO is obviously a very thin phone made out of aluminum. Common sense would dictate if you put something in a tight jeans pocket you're going to put some serious stress on it moving around or bending over.

Sure they could build the frame out of titanium which is is somewhat stronger than aluminum, but wouldn't have paid anywhere near what you paid for it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] `Ghost`:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mmcjam07:

Looks like mine's slightly bending, but not in half like everyone else. Mine's bending kinda diagonally, like one corner is higher than the opposite corner. Odd...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sslbaron:
Yes, that is how mine is too. If I put it face down on a flat surface, you can see it's a little warped. Be careful not to scratch the glass while doing this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] touch_rules:
Thanks for this thread, glad to know I'm not the only one with a bent/warped phone. Mine even has a small crack in the metal edge where it bent. I bent it back but this bothers me as I baby my phones.

I seriously think Sprint messed up when they changed the design of the orignal phone. Att's version with the solid back is way better in my opinion (minus the fact you can't add more storage). Do you guys remember the pre-release video where they show the phone tumbling around in a clothes dryer. I wouldn't dare try that with the version Sprint released.

I'm on my way to sprint now to see if they can replace any parts or replace my phone. I really don't want to replace my phone and get stuck with one of the newer hboots (no s off) but I'm going to see what my options are. Then I'm going to give sprint more money for an otterbox case. :(

Oh well, just my 2 cents.
