[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sddale2001:
Has anyone found a fix for this problem?

Several times this past week the camera would not take a pic. I would push the button and the circle would not turn to focus and sometimes the flash would just stay on (it was not on video mode). The camera would be unresponsive so I would have to either back out or hit the home button. Sometimes reopening it or hitting the task killer then reopening the camera would work but a couple of times I would turn the phone off then on to get it to work.

It's such a pain to miss shots but I think it sucks more to ask someone else to take the shot with their phone...especially when they're on a different OS. I like this phone much more than my S2 but that camera didn't let me down like this one has.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Mindroid-:
It seems like a problem with the focusing system. I've experienced it myself.

One solution is to tap on the screen to acquire focus (green circle) before snapping

a picture. The focusing on the Nexus4 camera is overall pretty bad. I am guessing that

Google will release a kernel update about this at some point.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogeshmha:
its really coz of the focus thing... there should have been a manual and auto focus in the camera.. to avoid it... possiblly the focus take too much of time detecting what to focus and what not to.

may be a mod with auto focus and manual focus with the camera app can solve the issue
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sddale2001:
I tried to do that and it would do the same thing with the flash staying on. I tried to touch different parts to move the circle but it still wouldn't give the green circle and allow the shot to be taken.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbkkt1:
I have 1 question for you guys, do you have s rear screen protector on, and does it cover the camera lens?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nellisere:
I don't have problems with taking pictures, but focusing, definatley, when I have flash turned on, and tryign to focus to something close (almost Macro close) it just won't focus, it will flash quickly, and have the green circle, but it just isn't focused! It's fine when the flash is turned off though, or if I let it focus after pressing the shutter button, just tap to focus with flash.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sddale2001:
No. I have not removed the original protector and it does not cover it.

I'm trying the lgcamera app to see if it works better.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbkkt1:
If I remember, the original protector covers the camera, but not the flash.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fr0zenblood75:
I have a pink spot in the middle of the camera. Does anyone else?:/
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhi2889:
I also faced the situation when I was with my friends and after taking two pictures, my nexus 4 stopped taking pictures and flash stayed on. Very embarrassing. Had to use s2 for all other pics. :(

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Martin27S:
Mine does this too. The picture wouldn't take after taking a few shots of my son.

I'm not sure HDR mode is the problem and tapping to focus certainly didn't fix it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lesbox:
I've experienced this problem myself since the 4.2.1 update - I don't remember experiencing it on 4.2... Always seems to happen after taking a couple pictures, just as you all have described. It's been reported as a bug to the android team here: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40996

Seems like the fix for now is to try and switch to another camera mode "camcorder/panorama" and then switch back to camera.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aceangel21:
Thanks for the bug link. I suggest anyone else hitting this issue to go to the link above and starring it (no need to comment, just star), hopefully we can get Google's attention on this ASAP.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fruits99:
yeah had this exact issue on my phone.

sometimes switching to front cam then back fixes it.

sometimes i need to kill camera app then restart it.

once i had to reboot to get it working again.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianleet:
I'm another person experiencing the bug with my phone where the camera focus options are stuck on the screen when I view my photos. Have to press home and then go back into the camera app to fix it.
[HTC One S] clubkevin11:
Okay guys, it seems like no matter what i do, I can't get the WiFi tethering to work. I tried all the apps from the play store, and the built in tethering in the settings. It would make the hotspot, but when I connect to it, it can't connect to the internet for some reason. Any ideas? I'm running AOKP.

Thanks :)
[HTC One S] beats4x:
Have you tried the new apn route?

What browser are you trying to use?
[HTC One S] clubkevin11:
Google chrome.

What's this new APN?
[HTC One S] beats4x:
Just create a new apn, cl it whatever you want, and where it says apn put epc.tmobile.com

Try firefox instead if you can, tethering seems to work better on firefox
[HTC One S] clubkevin11:
still doesn't work.

It can make the hotspot, its just that when i connect to it using my pc there's no internet access. :(
[HTC One S] beats4x:
What rom/kernel are you running? What error does it give you? Just the no connection one?
[HTC One S] maek_it_happen:
Same here . It creates the hotspot and comnectsbbut does not provide any signal . Only non sense roms is when this happens
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] depobot:
Hey everyone i have JB 4.1 on my gnexus and i can't update to 4,2 because my radio is north american and i flashed my phone a couple months ago to yakju but the problem is my down vol button is not working and was wondering if theres another way to flash the radio without the recovery method.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ad astra:
yes, you can. asuming that you allready unlocked your bootloader it's an easy journey.

get yourself to fastboot via adb (also asuming you understand what that is and that you got samsungs drivers installed) and then you should use this command in fastboot (asuming that the radio file is in the same location as the fastboot executable):

fastboot flash radio radio.img

if you don't understand how to make this work then i guess you should probably stay away from this method as you could potentially soft brick your phone.

also, i never used the gnexus toolkit but i guess you could give that a try (this link is for GSM gnexus).

hope this helps!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jamesp42:
Before anybody flames me, yes, I have searched every forum related to this issue. I am not a noob, just a lurker, so I don't have enough posts to post this in the development section. Here is my issue. I'm running Task650 and Ktoonsez 4.1.2 (build 11.18.2012) and I am trying to install a working version of google wallet. Before I go on, awesome ROM! I flash others and always come crawling back. Anyway, I've tried every variation on getting this to work out there, with no luck. This where I am at now. I can edit my build prop and get the market version of Wallet to work, but obviously it won't once I change my build prop back. If I try to flash the AT&T Modaco zip, I loose NFC in my setting menu. If I try to install the Modaco apk, it acts like its installing it, and at the end I get an "App didn't install" message at the end". My question is, how can I get this to work? If I can't, what exactly is the effect of leaving my build prop set on Nexus? Is it possible to flash the zip file, then extract something from an ota that I can flash to give me back NFC, but leave the rest of the changes the Mocado zip makes alone? If anyone can help me, I pretty much always donate to developers whose hard work I benefit from. Please help if you can. I am stubborn as gravity and will either get this to work or brick my phone trying.

Oh yeah, Its an AT&T phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Greycloak42:
I'm on the same ROM and have not encountered issues. Flash the modaco zip instead of installing, edit your build.prop, then reboot and add your card in the wallet app. After the card is added you can revert the build.prop.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jamesp42:
I must have had a corrupt version of the file. I tried again and instead of loosing nfc, or wallet not showing up, the installation aborted. I redownloaded and reflashed with no issues. Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Greycloak42:
Glad to hear it! Remember, if you ever switch ROMs always reset the Google wallet app before flashing the new ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jamesp42:
One more question. Have yuo had any issue with nfc toggling off randomly since flashing this? It seemed to be working fine but what I have noticed is that if I haven't used nfc for maybe twenty minutes, it toggles off. Its still checked, but I have to uncheck it and recheck it to get it to work. I usually set it to stay on even when my screen is off, and haven't had any issues with it before, even when the phone is asleep. I could write a tasker workaround, I suppose, but I would rather just fix it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Greycloak42:
I did notice that occasionally the NFC settings become unavailable. A reboot always fixes it for me.

For all those who are concerned about poor battery or those power users that need more battery this is my recomendation http://www.power-skin.com/battery-cases/htc/one-x.php
[HTC One X+] nugzo:
Why in the word didn't they use the pogo pins? thats what they are there for. That connector plugged in to the usb port is hideous.. Plenty (maybe all) of other powered cases that use pogo pins. My ATT One XL Mugen power case fits the ATT One X+ just fine, in case anyone was wondering about compatibility. And you can still access your USB port. :D
[HTC One X+] olorolo:
Yeah that is weird how the Iphone one does'nt use the usb port but the OneX+ one does. My battery is fine personally but a power case is the way to go if you have battery shortage issues do to heavy use. I have the solar charger so I never worry about battery when I'm out I just throw it on my dash ready to roll. The one you have sounds pretty slick tho Im gonna have to check that out.

I prefer stock and I know you can root/etc to get it, but I don't want to do that.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] NeoAndroid:
Stock, no. But if you flash other ROMs, then you can have Multi Window.

So I've decided on a 32gb, wifi only N7 and was wondering what my options were as far as retailers go.

I'm mostly concerned about damage/defects (saw the polled post about defect numbers)

and customer service as far as a simple, speedy 'return the old one, get a new one' programs go.

I've read mixed reviews on the playstore and gamestop. A buddy recommended

Staples (dropped his under 2 weeks after he got it, brought it in, and got a new one).

[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I have a guide here that will help you get S-OFF, which will make your flashing of ROM's and kernels a lot easier. When wifi and other radio based functions are broken, it's usually because of a bad boot partition (kernel) flash, something that is common with S-ON.

As the title says, I've started deleting bloatware from zipped roms by deleting all the .apks I don't want.

Haven't had any related issues yet, but I'm wondering if it is possible I could run into one ...

So is this a reasonably safe process or not?

What do you think?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shyam:
You mean, you deleted the apks aftr unzipping the rom & again zipped the rom file back & flashed? If yes, then I dont think you will run into problems..in one of the JB thread someone asked "how about making a light version of this rom with aroma installer?" & OP replied saying "unzip the rom, remove the apks which you dont want & zip it back, then flash"..I tried searching for that thread, but coudnt find it :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haints:
No, I didn't bother to unzip it, if by that you mean extracting it to my desktop. I just opened it up with winrar, took a look around, deleted what I didn't want, and closed it up again. No problems so far but it actually isn't any faster than uninstalling the apks once the rom is installed ...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laserfist3000:
Hi,

In my ignorance I loaded on the i9100 rom from Samfirmware XXLSJ, and it loaded ok. However the modem doesn't work. The symptoms are: connects ok to 3g network, however will not txt/make phone calls, the phone reports "not registered on network"

So, I tried flashing the XXLSJ JB again, this time with another modem, one that is supposed to be for the T variant, I'm in New Zealand by the way and use Telecom. Same deal.

No problem i thought, ill simply go back to an earlier official Telecom version on ICS. However, this now hangs on boot up on the S logo.I went back to an earlier one, that one also hangs. I went back to Gingerbread, that hangs on start up also on the S logo too.

So some questions:

Can i run jellybean and use some new modem?

If not, can i put it back to original 4.0.3 official firmware without it hanging?

I'm using Odin 3.07 to do the flashing.

Thanks in advance, i'll just be happy with a working phone at this stage :silly:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laserfist3000:
Sorted, ran the old firmware back on from Telecom, went into recovery mode and did a factory reset. all seems better.

Hey everyone, I am trying to find a definitive answer to this question. There are several threads that look related but nothing really uses the options I'm seeing in wireless tether.

In the wifi tether app in several mods, there are the following options: "Set binaries to native tether" and "set binaries to wifi tether." Can anyone explain the difference to me? Does either one have a functional difference (one shows your carrier you're tethering while one doesn't, one shows as ad hoc while the other doesn't... that sort of thing).

Hi all, so I was trying to test some under volting and my phone randomly shut off. When i turn it back on, the phone goes into a boot loop. Besides the boot loop I can still access recovery and Odin. What is the safest way to revert back to original settings? Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chaos5429:
Looks like I fixed it. Please close this thread. :o
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cobraboy85:
What did you do to fix it?

Also, remember, when playing with CPU parameters it is important to not have anything set at boot until you have tested it for a good while in order to make sure it is stable.

With under volting .... breast way to find good values is to keep dropping it down.... in 25mv intervals, until you have issues (such as reboots) then add 50mv to that setting.

Hey guys, I'm coming to this device from the n7 and overall very impressed. It's actually got pretty good ergonomics overall though I miss being able to fit my tablet in a pocket. One thing hard to get used to is typing. How do you all do it? Thankful for the slick swipe feature on 4.2 but I'm still not comfortable typing, and forget about pecking words out on it like you would on the phone, even in portrait mode.
