Hello!

I recently updated to 4.3 and rooted the device using Odin, however the default camera app is no longer responding - it gives me the following error message: "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped working".

Things I've done to try and fix it:

1- cleaned cache and data but that didn't solve the problem.

2- also reset the device to factory through settings but it didn't work either

3- re-install camera.apk (wouldn't install using Titanium)

4- install new stock camera from 4.3 rom (installed but got the same message)

5- manually replaced the files for the camera (system/app/SamsungCamera.apk and SamsungCamera.odex) AND Gallery (SecGallery2013.apk and SecGallery2013.apk) with new ones

Issue still persists... :(

Any ideas? Pls help.

Thanks!

if you're using xpose mod and wanam update to the latest wanam.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ragomes14:
Thanks but it didn't work.

I got it solved today thou in an unexpected way by actually using the Back up feature within ROM Manager - the phone went into back up mode (like recovery mode where you see the little android robot and command lines), waited until the back up process was finished then rebooted without choosing the option to "fix possible root loss" warning. After that camera was finally back again.

Then I recalled that the last time I've done this back up through Rom Manager there was some sort of problem during the process which interrupted it so I realize now that somehow it affected the camera (have no idea how they relate thou) - but the fact is that as soon as it successfully finished the back up the issue was automatically fixed. Weird, stupid and very rare, I know... At least is fixed!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Cankles:
Not to thread jack, but do you have the apk for the stock camera app from 4.3? Thanks in advance

I've had exactly this same problem. Do I have to run a backup to fix it?
[LG Optimus G Pro] markusrussell225:
Are there any known 4.3 or 4.4 ROMs with working phone mic?

I've used CM 10.2 Stable (4.3) and Carbon Rom (4.4.2). Both work great, the only issue is that the headset is not usable for calls (low mic output). My solution for now is using the earbud/mic, but I'm curious to know if anyone has made progress on this. Aside from this, the various ROMs are near perfect for my needs.

I'm not very knowledgeable on the details of writing ROMs, but would any type of source code release from LG help developers solve this? Curious to know what the main hurdles are for the devs and what tools they need.

Thanks.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
Wish I could tell ya but I don't have a headset with a mic. I'd say give AICP a try since it uses AOKP sources instead of CM. Might give ya a better outcome.

[LG Optimus G Pro] markusrussell225:
Thanks for the suggestion, downloading now.

Do phone calls work fine on yours?
[LG Optimus G Pro] markusrussell225:
Still no luck on a solid working phone microphone (low volume on other end). And the search continues.
[LG Optimus G Pro] markusrussell225:
Now that mid March has come around, has anyone had any good luck with a working in call microphone?

I was previously using several 4.4.2 Builds however, the need for a working phone mic was too critical for daily usage.

I'm using a 4.3 build (Slim Bean) which I believe is the only one with a working phone. The build is an unofficial beta and the only real issues are lack of microSD function, FC on Google Drive, and a few freezes here and there. Overall it's usable for my needs but would like to get back onto 4.4.2 granted the phone mic works.

Any suggestions/advice would be great. Thanks!
[LG Optimus G Pro] ja.andro:
I don't know much, plus i am still on stock but i will suggest you to ask your query and issues on particular custom ROM posts. i have seen people getting response faster and if in case there is a bug, high chances that developer of that particular ROM can fix it :thumbup::)
[LG Optimus G Pro] markusrussell225:
Thanks. I ask because this is a problem has existed on all known roms since 4.3.1 for the E980 on ATT. Never been able to get a straight answer anywhere so I figure I would generically post it. I have reached out to some devs but not luck.
[LG Optimus G Pro] thureos:
Any success on your searching?
[LG Optimus G Pro] markusrussell225:
---

Here is a manual fix for the in call mic from JustinNL on XDA:

Step 1:

download a "build.prop editor app", I used: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor

Step 2:

Modify these 2 specs in the build prop editor

persist.audio.handset.mic.type=digital --> replace digital with analog

persist.audio.dualmic.config=endfire -- replace endfire with false

Since i changed it i haven't had any complaints so far but flashing to new nightly makes it revert again, keep that in mind."

Been working great for myself and others.
[LG Optimus G Pro] thureos:
I saw that solution but I went back to rooted and debloated stock, I am very pleased with speed and stability.

Thanks
[LG Optimus G Pro] vinniemac84:
i've made the edits suggested on that post and still get the same issue...i dont remember having this issue before but i thnk youre right and the previous roms werent 4.4...oh well i live on the phone for work so back to stock for me. for now i guess...wanting a new phone anyways, hope we get the g pro 2 or g3 soon

ive been trying to get a custom recovery for my gs4 and everytime I download one, then go into recovery, it isn't what it should be! im trying to install a custom rom and but there is no "install zip file on the recovery im on... im running 4.3 so maybe that has something to do with it??
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolo9393:
Under stock firmware you must install the recovery with ODIN and then you after this you'll be able to get access to "install . zip file....)

I will no longer be deving for this phone. To be honest after the way some people treated jfbs and me rarely using my phone it's just not worth it. I have moved on to PC projects now that i got kk x86 and steamOS. Thanks to jfbs, cars, & everyone else that has be supportive of devs and wish you the best of luck. i will still be popping in and help trouble shoot and stuff like that but thats about how far as it goes. Also feel free to use any of my work with or without credit to me but however pls give credits to those source/apps you do use.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] atscntsc:
Thank you TripFX for the work you did to get ION running on the T679. That combined with KitKat from jfbs has pushed the life of my Exhibit II 4G out a bit longer. I am sitting on an Exhibit T599, but continue to use my T679 as I like the pure Android experience and not TouchWiz so much. Unfortunately, the T599 has yet to see a stable CM ROM, so I continue to use the T679, thanks to you, jfbs, cars, smartguy, and all of the other developers who unshackled the Exhibit from its Gingerbread beginnings.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Feng9:
Hello

My i9250 has a strange problem

If I use ODIN to flash anything on it nothing changes even though it says "PASS".

If I use fastboot to flash a new recovery onto it, it says "OKAY" but when loading recovery the same version as before (v5.x.x.x) is still there even after trying to flash a new one on (v6.0.4.7).

When in recovery and factory resetting it does not produce any errors, but when I try to load up the OS it does not seem to have anything wiped.

I have a problem with my OS where when it just starts and shows the lockscreen after a few seconds it restarts.

I've had experience with other phones like the Galaxy S2 and HTC One X and none of these have produced the same kind of problem, where no matter what I try nothing seems to change on the device itself.

Possibly related information: In cwmrecovery (v5.x.x.x), whenever I push files onto the /sdcard/ through adb they only stay on the /sdcard/ until I power off the phone (then it disappears). Installing update from zip using these files does not result in any change to the device. I tried installing a new cyanogenmod version but after saying "Installation success" or something like that it still proceeds to load up the old version of cyanogenmod, with the same customized background image and lockscreen (and then proceeds to crash in the same manner as before).

I'm extremely confused why nothing I do seems to produce any change, even using ODIN to try repartition the device and install the stock rom and everything. What's wrong with my phone and what can I do to make flashing actually do something?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nooners:
I recently rooted my Nexus 5 and flashed stock clockworkmod. Since doing that I have noticed my battery is dying incredibly fast. I could get through a whole day on a full charge and now it's down to about half that. According to the battery stats the screen and system is taking up the most time. The screen has been on 2 hours and only been off charger for 6 and the battery is currently at 20%. I have tried a few battery calibration apps and such but nothing seems to fix the problem. Had a similar problem with the Samsung GS3 after rooting...any tips to get better battery life after root and not worse? Thanks!

P.S. Also been running greenify root for apps that don't need constant internet access.

Which method did you use for root? I don't think rooting actually causes a drain in battery life but I could be wrong :confused:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Just rooting won't have any impact on battery. Could be apps that you installed.

Had the same issue as well with Franco kernel. Started from scratch, meaning unroot, lock. Then unlocked and rooted again. Performed factory reset and installed app by app. Took a few days but battery life is good now.

My haptic feedback, and vibrate in general appears to be broken.

I noticed the haptic was gone from the keyboard, and it was turned on in there 'Sounds' menu.

Running the Vibration test from a Diagnostics results in nothing, Failed.

I have rebooted and it's made no difference.

Anyone else noticed a lack of Haptic, or is it back to the shop with it?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HarpingOn:
Ah, if I shake the phone it starters working again.

This has happened once, hopefully I can make it happen again, so I can return the phone maybe?

I think perhaps the vibration motor gets stuck.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varunpilankar:
I think it's a hardware problem.. As you're saying it is working when you shake it.. So I would recommend you to take it to the service center.. You should get a replacement as it is a defected piece or some hardware malfunction..
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HarpingOn:
Not sure how I can take it to a service centre. There are none that I can find.

Back to the shop, I suppose, but I can't make the problem happen at will :(

Anyone got a cast iron method of making the haptic go off?

My z1 compacts vibration stopped working when I was texting and would start working again when shaken. I took it into phones4u (my retailer) and wrote a text in front of them until it stopped. They gave me a new handset which so far has had no problems after a week. Hope you can get yours replaced or repaired!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varunpilankar:
Try searching the service center on their official website or try contacting them using their helpline no.

If not flash your phone with a latest ftf which is available.. It might help you out..

Revert back for more info..

Hit Thanks if I helped you
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HarpingOn:
I can't make it happen again. Perhaps it won't. If I can't demo the problem I've got no chance.

On the other hand, if it never happens again, *shrug*

Worse, would be if it starts happening regularly a month or more down the line. That'd be more of a problem.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HarpingOn:
A-ha.

I can recreate it in a few seconds by texting in landscape mode.

Which I never do.

But... It serves to demonstrate the fault.

So, I'm going back to CPW tomorrow with it.

I really hope they let me refund and get a Z1 instead of a compact. The production faults with this handset seem to be growing, even though I actually do prefer the form factor.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HarpingOn:
You say that like it is easy, but as far as I know there are no Sony Mobile Xperia service centres in the UK, and even if there is one that I haven't been able to find online, it'll be hundreds of miles away.

'Take it to a service center' is just not an option.

It's going back to the shop tomorrow and I'm going to try and get them to refund and I'll get a Z1 instead. If they won't (they don't have to) then I'll check the replacement handset very closely in the shop for the same problems I have on mine (loose screen, stuck vibro motor, flash bleed).
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HarpingOn:
I demonstrated the fault to the salesman who'd never heard of the problem before.

They showed me another handset upon which I created the fault again. Even the diagnostics won't turn on the vibro. Weird.

They had no more Z1C to give me, so I got a Z1 instead.

So now, I have no Z1C any more, but a brand new and so far fully functional Z1

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmceorange:
I'm having the same issue with mine, consistently since buying it. Vibrate stops working after typing a few characters, and then the phone won't vibrate for notifications either. if I leave it alone for a while, it will work again, until I type and then it kind of "fades" away to not working again. Shaking it does seem to get it working again, if only for a second or two.

Problem is I bought the phone on Amazon, and there are no service places even remotely near me. I kept the phone hoping the update would fix.. and when it didn't, I was hoping a fix would be released.. but no. I guess I'll send them an email.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheetah2k:
My wife's Z1C had the same issue with haptic feedback, but also the sound would cut out at the same time. Indeed, giving the phone a wack would start both sound and vibrations working again. But finally it never turned back on, so had to RMA it....
