[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] worldextermination:
Ok, so I hard bricked my Captivate, used the Radioshack homemade jig to force it into download mode, and flashed Gingerbread 2.3.6 XXJVU. After further research, I realized I wanted to downgrade to 2.3 for a more effective custom ROM flash, so I flashed a stock Eclair 2.1 ROM using Odin one click (with bootloaders, I'm assuming). The flash was successful as far as Odin was concerned, but now the phone gets stuck in a boot loop for quite some time. If I let the loop run its course, it will eventually load the 2.1 ROM, but the phone will power off after about 5 seconds after I plug either a USB cable OR a charger (the charger is recognized as a USB cord by the phone). I cannot get the phone into recovery or download mode; the 10 plus button combinations do not work, and the jig sends it into the boot loop. I even tried holding the volume down key through the entire boot loop sequence, but it never stops (as opposed to not holding the volume down key, where it boots eventually). I tried reformatting the internal SD card, and I looked into putting it into download mode through ADB, but I do not have it installed and even if I did, I can't get the phone to stay on while connected via USB. The computer even recognizes it through USB until the phone shuts off. Through much research, I've come to the conclusion that I must re-brick my phone somehow from within the stock ROM I have installed. I have no idea if this is even possible or if it's the right solution, but I'm at the end of the line at this point. Any suggestions to help with this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Val D.:
No such thing as "more effective custom ROM flash". All you need is stock GB with GB bootloaders.

You need to get to Download mode and flash stock GB. Tons of information in this forum, please read it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] worldextermination:
I've been browsing these forums for days for information on this subject, and none of the solutions I've found fix my problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Val D.:
And where exactly did you read you need to downgrade 2.3.x to 2.1 in order to flash a custom ROM?

Calm down, turn the phone off and leave it on a charger for few hours in order to recharge the battery. Disconnect the charger, remove the battery, remove SIM and SD. Reinstall battery only, hold both volume keys and plug the phone to the PC. See Download mode now?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] worldextermination:
I didn't read that I needed to downgrade, but the guides I was reading were one click solutions for root and flash for 2.3, and I guess should've ignored them and done it manually. I did a one click on a #1110 phone, which is why it's now acting lame, I assume.

Ha, I am pretty calm. I have a Verizon Galaxy S that I've been using to charge the battery, since my AT&T Captivate won't even charge the battery via USB or straight charger when it's off, so it's pretty full. I've tried every method, including the one you just mentioned, and none of them work to bring me to download mode.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] worldextermination:
The jig I used to get it from fully bricked state into download mode would put it back into the boot loop. I solved my problem with the adb reboot download command. I managed to activate the command before the phone randomly shut off, as it does when I insert the USB cable. Thanks everyone!

May not be the swiftest, but it seems valid and sound. I recently had the mother board of my phone replaced, and used the nand I had on my SD card restored in minutes.

Thanks, rasel800. After I posted here last night, I too noticed the Yahoo Voice & Audio Plugin was running & even though I have had it forever I figured it shouldn't be running at the moment.

Mm-qcamera-deamon process...

This is what I think about (mm-qcamera-deamon), i have some 3 days with my note 3(Verizon wireless) the 2 first days everything works well but for any reason yesterday (mm-qcamera-deamon) drain my battery 60% maybe on 3 hours, i read some comments about the yahoo plug in, and

I uninstall it, but the (mm-....) follow drain my battery, the last app installed before this problem is "xda premium":crying:, i don't know why the app is not working for me on my nexus 10,and now note 3, the relation between (xda app and mm-qcamera-deamon) is because I try change the picture on my perfil from xda app, but picture never change....... Now... i don't want say the xda app is the problem, i think any app when used the camera or gallery can make mistakes and follow try make the task. And is why the device is hot and the battery is down........ Just i hope can you understand this message my English y pour but i try, :good:

I'm having the same issue. Mine started after I downloaded liteflow, of all things. Uninstalled, but noticed the daemon showed as running every time I start the camera, but stops when I turn it on.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Craniotomy:
I got the same problem too. I tried uninstalling yahoo voice and video plug and still the same. My phone was on my bed and under the pillow when I got it, it was hot and it was draining my battery, then i remembered I have air glance on, the pillow might have blocked the sensor continuously and activated the air glance and that might be the cause for the mm-qcamera-daemon draining the battery and making it hot. I put it on my side table and after 4 hours i only list 4-5% and cold. So it was going to deep sleep properly now. Don't know if this will help.

I could be mistaken, but as i recall, the daemon processes are the widget update processes.

Are any of you using a camera widget, flashlight widget or either of those on the lockscreen? (flashlight uses camera).

Add McAfee Innovations to the list

Add McAfee Innovations to the list of apps that cause this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mcafee.mmi

After removing it, within an hour the use of mm-qcamera-daemon had reduced by 5% (from 53% to 48%).

I'm just recharging my battery to full again now to test it properly. If this is the cause i'll be notifying McAfee ASAP (because I'm a paying premium user). A task manager is included in this app and it's the only one on my system - oh and I don't have any yahoo apps installed.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tq17:
I have this issue as well... and no idea what app causes it...

I'm having this same issue, but I have none of the apps installed that have been mentioned in this thread. Sometimes I'll get the mm-qcamera-daemon running amok & it will kill my battery - it drains about 35% per hour, meaning I get less than three hours. A reboot once does NOT always fix this. Sometimes I have to reboot the phone several times.

I'm at my wit's end with this phone... it's really annoying. I can't figure out why it happens, and it's not consistent. Sometimes I can go days without a problem and then it'll just start again. Really very annoying.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Learic:
Today, my battery drained to 10% within 6 hours. When I checked, it was also caused by "mm-qcamera-daemon". I am running my AT&T Note 3 with stock, un-rooted. I don't use Yahoo and have never configured it on this device. Since I'm not rooted, is there a way for me to trace what process is using this daemon that might cause this behavior? I see people in this thread are uninstalling apps so they have an idea of what is causing it, but for those of us who didn't make any changes that we are aware of that depend on the camera, and it appears suddenly and starts draining the battery, aside from "factory reset" and possibly losing settings and app data, is there some way to list processes that may be calling on it? Currently, I rebooted the device but that doesn't guarantee that the issue will not re-occur and I'd rather find out the culprit and remove it before it drains it when I need the phone in an emergency situation!

Alsaw got this problem after uppdating some apps in google play..

Now i have read in diffrent sites about this and this is what i think

Since monst users have diffrent thoghts on wich app dose drain and is the problem i think it might have to do with Google play as usual..

Any ways with a cashe wipeput and removal of the battery my problem where fixed. didnt uninstall any apps!

But im 100% sure that i got the problem after uppdating 5-6 apps wich none of them i did even start after the uppdate. so it should be google play or some cashe problem!!!

Most users got it fixed after cashe wipeout
