Strangest problem with camera

hi guys..thanks for replying..it was indeed a flex cable problem..i managed to replace the flex cable with a friend's help and by following youtube vids..now although my slider and screen are back to normal I've a strange and peculiar problem of which i never heard of and still couldnt find any solution to..my camera app is acting totally weird ..it can record a video and play it but it cant take a pic..i mean it appears to click a pic..but i can't review it and it doesn't even appear anywhere in the gallery( unlike the vid )..and whats more strange is the front cam takes pics and saves in the sd only the rear cam is having the problem and also the camera app becomes unresponsive afterwards...

:confused::confused:

list of stuff i check

1.checked with different sd cards

2. tried other camera apps..same result

3. changed roms/kernels

4.fully re-flashed stock re locked bootloader

i even checkd with the xperia diagnostic tool ..all the sensors..touches..touchpads ..evrythings working..but whenever i click on camera it fcs.

Please please help me out!!!:crying::crying:

I'd try to dissasemble the phone yet again and make sure that you haven't messed up any of the connections. Those cables are really tiny. Also check whether one of them is not broken. When I replaced my flex cable the digitizer cable got a small crack. Had to buy a new one. My friend actually messed up and I have no idea whether he broke it or it broke by itself, so check that.

Please remember to reply with quotes so I'd get a notification about it :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Olokos is right. You must have missplaced flex cable from rear camera while reassembling. Just open it again, but only lower part (where motherboard is, should be easy), and remove and instert camera flex cable again
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddynoob:
Hi,thanks for replying man.I checked the camera flex was already inserted properly ..still re-did it but didn't work.:(

I guess iwill have take it to Sony service center tmorow.Btw do i need to re lock the bootloader before i hand over the phone to the service center right?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
I guess it would be good idea to flash Stock firmware and relock bootloader if you know how (i don't).
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddynoob:
hehe u r kidding right?..:p...cuz i know you dev people are geniuses

anyway here's that thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1134334..

..so i just got back frm the service center..missing my xplay already.

The service guy was as confused as me when i showed him the problem and yes i relocked the bootloader before giving the phn to them..actually few months back a friend's phone was rejected a paid service cuz he had his bl unlocked :confused: ..i dont know why ..but they use seus or emma tool maybe to flash stock fw to solve the common users software problems ..i think thats their preliminary to troubleshoot a device,and also seus displays "the user has modified the device' or something similar kind of message so i did it just to be safe...hope they find out whats wrong with my phone and fix it...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olokos:
Please ask them what happened after they fix it. It's really interesting :P

[MENTION=4300205]olokos[/MENTION] haha ya sure..even m really curious to know....but theres a bit of info that i think could be imp and im sorry i missed out on that while i posted here at the first place...the thing is that since i didnt get the flex cable individually anywhere so i ordered the whole slider board from ebay

http://www.ebay.in/itm/New-Flat-Cab...ny-Ericsson-Play-R800-Phone-OEM-/281330850312.

my friend who helped me fix the slider flex cable replaced that whole part and took the front cam and its flex from the old one and attached to the new one cuz the new one was missing the front cam..and after putting up the phone together during the first time front cam was inverted and rear wasnt working,so he reopened and placed the front cam correctly to get it right..

and as I posted before the front cam is working fine since then...so could it be in any way the real problem behind my back camera not functioning.

:confused::confused:...

and i didnt mentioned all these to service guy :(

New problem

hi all..

bad news :(:(..i got it back frm service center today..they couldn't get it fixed..said there might be a problem with the eeprom ac or the circuits near to it (idk what it means)..then i thought to myself i can live without the cam and brought the phone home..now upon charging the screen is getting ghost touches i mean the touch screen has gone automatic since i switched it on..( though the ts was working fine when i tried it in service center)...

whats possibly wrong with it now.??..pls help guys..
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olokos:
whereas I know what are the circuits I've got no idea what do you mean by eeprom "AC".
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddynoob:
[MENTION=4300205]olokos[/MENTION] .. i have zero idea about circuits man..i just wrote what the service guy told me...:(..

can u pls tell me me about the touchscreen problem that m facing currently..the screen behaves like it being pressed all the time..this happens randomly though but more when charging
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olokos:
I also had this problem. I can't tell for sure where the problem is, but I'd suggest you to take a really close look at the digitizer flex cable.

Hey guys,

I've got a very simple question.

I have the lg g2 d802 and i updated it to the latest firmware. (screenshot)

what if im going to root my device with ioroot, will it brick, is it safe or is it even possible to root?

Im a little unsure about this.

Thanks
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxwellz:
You can root, it is safe, but know one thing, its not recommended to OTA update afterwards...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellgast100:
But when i installed the Kitkat update, i did do an another update. Thats the OTA update right?

Im kinda noob now xD

I bricked my galaxy s1 ones but you could unbrick it with a usb jig so i couldnt care bricking it xD. But not with this phone and i dont have twrp recovery.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greek_assassin:
OTA update is the one that you don't use pc to update just through WiFi

IF I HELPED YOU PRESS THE THANKS BYTTON

Ok thnx

Yes I updated on WIFI

So what shall i try to root it?

Thnx for your time

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braves1995:
Just recently had this issue pop up. Everything else seems to be running smooth aside from the virtual home button. When pressed, it makes a glow, but doesn't take me to the home screen. Setting a home button on LMT Launcher doesn't work either. Basically, I just have to keep hitting the back button to get Home. Not sure what info one would need about my device to tackle the issue. KFHD7 running the latest CM11 nightly(5/31), Nova launcher with Maromi's 5/19 kernel installed. The issue has come up with two recent nightlies as well as the May 5th Snapshot. I've done a fresh install twice since yesterday and the button will work for a bit, then will stop. I should also mention that I wiped everything possible aside from the bootloader two days ago, reinstalled and same thing, not working! Does downgrading from a newer Nightly to the Snapshot cause problems because I did just that. Anyone can help with this please?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
The 5/19 kernel does not have the committs from 5/31. You may want to reflash the ROM and wait for a kernel update to flash it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Suicide_Evo:
Hello All,

I recently flashed KitKat 4.4.2 successfully but now I need to re-root. I see dodgy posts about rooting certain ways. Can someone please point me to the right direction in the easiest and safest way to root on KitKat? Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ThatGuy94:
You can use CF Auto Root to re-root the phone. The only problem is this method will trip the Knox warranty void counter which can't be reset at this time. You flash it through odin and after it roots, you need to disable Knox. To do that, download (or update) SuperSU and when you run it for the first time, it will give you an option to disable Knox for the root to fully work. Finally, you can install the custom recovery. While this is optional, this is strongly recommended. You can use CWM or TWRP by downloading from either ROM Manager or Goo Manager depending on what recovery you want. After doing that, you should have a fully working root

Download CF Auto Root: http://download.chainfire.eu/233/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-d2spr-d2spr-sphl710.zip
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JoHnNYBlaZE716:
You can also flash the SuperSU zip after using Odin to flash a custom recovery (I recommend philz)

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r25txe:
Hi all, I'm new to Motorola and have come across something that I am unsure about and could use some reassurance on. Up to now all my devices had been Samsung.

On all my past devices I was able to use various tools (Titanium Pro, Nandroid Manager Pro, Device ID changer ROOT etc) to edit my "android_id" string so that my ID remained the same through ROM flashes. I have never done it manually, in fact, after a bit of digging, I only found out where it is located tonight.

Thus far on my Moto I have tried with Nandroid Manager Pro and a couple of Play Store free alternatives. None have met with any success, the ID is stubbornly staying as it was when I first activated it. This has caused the inevitable headache with a couple of applications whose data I am trying to transfer across from one of my Samsungs (it is on KitKat, too). For example, Viber, it seems to be one of the apps that identifies you via your ID so when it sees a new one it basically has a panic attack crashes and won't operate unless you wipe the data you tried to flash. (Viber offer no proper backup alternative either, unlike Whatsapp :rolleyes: )

Earlier I mentioned how I found out where the string with the ID is stored so I was wondering, is there any reason why I can't edit this string manually using a database editor?

Is there a Motorola reason why none of the previous working options work? Does Moto protect the string somehow, much like Win XP file protection? If Moto is protecting it, would a Nandroid save me from any bricks?? :fingers-crossed:

I am bootloader unlocked/rooted, with TWRP recovery, on stock ROM.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahxxm:
Before anything: CM11 20140531 nightly build, backed up as a 1970***.zip

Operations to the backup file: open with nandroid, clicked "decompress", restore app+data using nandroid in another rom(read only i thought?), fix md5 using nandroid(after md5 mismatch error while restroing)

Now that: It prompts "Error while restoring /" in cwm. I tried flash back to CM, tried format/wipe, but it all doesn't work.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
You never ever restore system files over anything, unless you're doing a complete "normal" nandroid restore.

And not with titanium backup either.

If nothing works now, you'll probably have to flash stock back on, after complete wipes and reroot after. Start fresh. ;)

Hi.

I'm using m8(rooted) with rom version 1.54.401.5. S-ON.

I wanted to do OTA update to get 1.54.401.10.

So, I flashed back the stock recovery with the same version of my build, rebooted and pressed the "check now" update. And then it's just keep checking and checking... And nothing happens...

Any ideas?

Is it possible to download just the update as zip and flash it via recovery?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saikat.mondol1:
Why don't you flash in fast boot mode? You must know that stock firmware or updates can't be flashed via recovery. I think, a clean fast boot stock Rom flash will fix Ota issue
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K-a-M-u-Z-u:
I have tried again with S-off, no change,

tried to install the zip via recovery (after s-off), both stock recovery and twrp. it failed.

i have tried "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip"

and what i get:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaHiLzZ:
Flash the Ota.zip manually in stock recovery, not fastboot
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
You CANNOT flash an OTA file in a custom recovery. If you're S-OFF you can just flash it from the stock recovery. Just remember the phone has to be 100% stock (system, kernel, everything) for the OTA to flash successfully

I'm currently using TWRP. Will I have to root my phone again if I return to stock recovery? Sorry if that's a daft question.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Like said in the other thread you posted. It won't unroot your device if you return to stock recovery. The device got unrooted after the OTA update, but it's easy enough to just root it again.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K-a-M-u-Z-u:
That was tricky in my situation, but finally i was able to do it.

I Had stock Rom, but elementalx kernel, so the stock recovery would not flash even when my device was s-off and stock recovery. so I have flashed back twrp, restored boot image from backup I made prior to flashing the Kernel .so now I had stock kernel +recovery .then I tried again and it did start the flash. process, but gave me error after few seconds into the process because it found custom modules in system directory.(made by elementalx kernel) so, went back to twrp, restored system image too, and back to stock recovery again. this time the update worked! ?

Had to root again and that it.

For now I will stay with stock kernel .

Hi,

I just updated my AT&T Samsung infuse to this rom (slimbean 3.0 JB 4.1.2) and it is wonderful! The only thing that I do not like is the stock contacts app with this rom. I am trying to flash the Samsung secphone apk from my S2 but after deleting the old one with root explorer and giving the new one permission all I get after reboot is "could not launch requested activity." Is there any way to go back to the contact app that all Samsung phones use? I like the Samsung contacts app because it shows if my contacts have whatsapp, skype and other messaging apps installed on their phones.

Thank you for any useful information.

Playing around with Antutu and Trepnprofiler PowerDrain

a Full Antutu Benchmark with OSD, 200 seconds, Score 30988 (FYI without Trepn running it's 33340 part2)

Average Frequency:

Core0 = 1825Mhz

Core1 = 751Mhz

Core2 = 1291Mhz

Core3 = 1803Mhz

Average GPU Load: 25%

Average CPU clock: 282Mhz

Average Current 1021mA

Graphic of CPU clocks & Power Drain. (yes, Scaling of powerdrain (right side scale) is on purpose up to 4A so it won't get into the way of CPU lines)

I'm not sure if the spike at second 32 really is because of throttling (as the core did reach 63°C then) or just because of the benchmark went from Integer to float-point tests

Graphic of the GPU clock & load:

Funny thing here, the 3D Benchmark started somewhere around 140 seconds, and the GPU only wen't over 380mhz after 160 seconds.

Guess Antutut 3d benchmark really is outdated ^^
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
Conclusion? I'm tired! i'm going to bed! :P

gonna do a full overview tomorrow.

Till then, here you have a Battery drain per governor List.

Nr 1-20:

and sorted by average powerdrain:

(total is based on time, mostly it's 310seconds, sometimes few more, sometimes few less!)
[Xperia Z2 General] se1000:
Wow, very interesting. Lagfree really is max performance! Smartass should be re-named "Singlecore"

Also, I can't help but notice Qualcomm hotplug likes to keep everything on cores 0/3 and pretty much idle 1/2. I'd like to see a baseline run of where mpdecision isn't used.

Awesome thread

Edit:

Another interesting topic this brings up is the "race to idle" argument. The tests you're doing are absolutely relevant for something like say, playing a game, or maybe even web browsing that is time limited, but some things are action dependent, and therefore a governor like Lagfree may not be so power hungry if it finishes a task very quickly, albeit using more power while it's running.

GPU tests

(Tests in this post made on Doomkernel v07!)

so from all these Governors we can choose on the GPU side there are only 2 working.

cpubw_hwmon crashes the phone instantly.

msm-adreno-tz is the standard gov.

Performance just clocks at 578mhz all the time

all others lock gpu on 200mhz!

to activate simple GPU gov. msm-adreno-tz needs to be selected.

Trepn Profiler Performance loss check: (Overlay deactivated) with GFXbenchmark

Trepn Shut down / Trepn running

Trepn log of the run

The Manhattan Test lost from 730 points (11.8fps) to 725 points (11.7fps) while logging

but well... even T-Rex benchmark only gave about 27 FPS... therefore using the GPU way to heavy, so different governos would not make any difference.

so i testet Antutu Benchmark: (GPU only, 2D and 3D)

Trepn profiler off / Trepn profiler on

there is some performance loss to see here.

but well... **** happens, nothing to do against that. i think it's caused by temperature throttling.

then i made a test with msm_cpu_freq just to test if it really stays at 200mhz all the time... yes it does!

btw.... 3D score on 200mhz isn't really worse than on 587mhz -.- WTF ?

[200mhz]

[578mhz]

damn is Antutu outdated....

here the Trepn log on Performance, always 578mhz

then i activated Simple Governor:

the score(link to picture) doesn't say anything, that we've proven by testing 200mhz -.-

but the Trepn log actually looks nice!

You can see it jumping between 433 and 578 ^^ which results in a lower score than the normal gov. ^^

the battery drain does seem a little lower tough. Also the GPU load is about 50% while on normal gov. its about 75%

So... what is the most powerdraining and best looking Game you know?

Benchmarks are nice... but we wan't some real world comparison, right ?

somewhen i'm gonna test these two governors and a limited (i.e 200mhz or lower frequency) in the "normal" benchmark for 10 minutes and take the average powerdrain.

I assume that in games the clock will be maximized the whole time, except throttling kicks in.
