[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] goofy gorilla:
well my htc 10 started playing up today, camera wont start when you touch the camera app on the screen..ive had this phone for 9 months , my warranty expires in march 2019, ive tried all the above methods none worked, phoned HTC uk up and they said to send it in..i hope they replace it with another unit ?..if they do replace it with another unit will the wrranty be transferred over to that, ie expire in march 2019? i also noticed that the flashlight app doesnt work it just says on screen "loading"..
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] BARMANIA:
I have the exact same problem, tried all the suggestions, but still it says 'Unable to start camera'. I even opened up the phone, and replaced the camera with another HTC 10 which had water damage. Problem still exists, which leads me to believe that the camera isn't the issue, it might be the mainboard it's connected to in combination with Nougat? The other case can be that the broken phone I got the camera from might have the same problem.... allthough I think that's unlikely. I'd like to order another camera to make sure its not that, but can't really find one. Anyone got any further with this issue?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] perejila:
I had the same problem with the camera until yesterday that the cellphone was updated

these are the steps I took to solve it

1 Download the update but do not install

2 Go to settings and deactivate the camera, forcing the closing and deleting data

3 Install the update and wait for the cellphone to start

4 Enable the camera and test. This was how it was solved without having to change the camera

Android stock no root

My phone is from T-mobile
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] GeorgeGayan:
Unable to start the Camera in HTC 10

From 23rd Sep i have to face this common problem

I noted that camera was out-of focus, even in manual mode. So i tried to fix it by restarting the phone , then the message poped out as Unable to start the Camera.

And also the flashlight app is missing in notification area and the app is just loading...

Is there a solution for this problem? I already tried these things mentioned below

Normal Restart

Restart in safe mode

Force stop

Disable app

Enable permissions

Factory Rest / Wipe data for 5 times

Clear Camera Chase & Data

Reboot

RUU update ROM (didn't work)

Did i miss anything? Is there a solution? Is it a Hardware or a Software problem?

Before this happened one week back my phone felt down. Hope its not because of that. Also my security patch is July.

Any idea?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] victor_cc:
I have the same issue since a few days ago. Hopefully someone finds an explanation and solution.

These days, a phone with no working camera is pretty useless. :(
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] dhinged:
I contacted Verizon about the problem and they said it was a factory warranty issue and they replaced it within a day. Everything works fine now, I have no idea if the problem was factory defect or sprinkler mist... https://www.androidheadlines.com/2016/04/htc-10-ip53-certified-not-water-proof-resistant.html

Now I have to consider IP water resistance certification for phones.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] gabri1998:
from yesterday morning the problem appeared to me. Initially, the difficulty in focusing, then rebooting the impossibility of opening the camera app and the flashlight. I found on Youtube the videos that showed the same problem. Is there a solution today?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jbendixsen:
Adding some logcat info

I've had this problem for some time. Mostly the camera doesn't work. Sometimes it will work once or twice after a restart I think I did a factory reset a while back and it work a few times after that. However, as stated earlier it most often doesn't work.

I collected some logcat info on the problem, though haven't looked any further it seems like it could be a software problem that HTC could fix?....

I though it has something to do with Lineage OS, but it looks it's phone's problem. Great, I will have to get back Stock ROM and then try a warranty solution.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] gabris:
I've experienced the same issue, when camera was not focusing anymore. Restarted the phone and I couldn't launch camera app or flashlight. It had all the symptoms you guys wrote here about. Tried clearing cache, factory resetting and nothing helped. I've thought that only solution is to disassemble the phone and replace the camera module myself (as I don't have the warranty). Then as a last resort I tried to remove the sd card and restart the device.

BOOM the camera started working normally. It seems, that SD card was 100% full and this was causing this weird behaviour. It works great now, focuses perfectly. Fingers crossed, that it is NOT a hardware problem and camera will remain working.

Hopefully this post will help someone, cheers!

I've had this phone for about a year now, and it suddenly froze while I was watching a video on youtube, nothing was responding, home button, volume rocker, power button, nothing. I thought nothing much of it, so I took out the battery and attempted to restart the phone, but it's just stuck at the bootup screen. It doesn't even allow me to enter Recovery mode.

Any help?

If anyone has any idea how to get to the point where you have to enter the msl # (which I already have) please post it here.

Thank you
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mbote:
wat r u trying to do?

You may try the following

##778 [SEND]

##778# [SEND]

On some network/device, this one might work

##DATA#

or if you're trying to program your phone ##MSL# should do it, replacing MSL with your actually MSL Code.

Some device/network might work with # at the end of the command, some might need an extra [SEND] to be press
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] avtaxi:
##778 does not work

Thank you for your help.I was not clear what I wanted to do

here I was not clear is a post from ppcgeeks19-FIX THE SLOW RINGER

To do this, you will need your MSL, which only Sprint (or your provider) can provide you. Open up the phone app and dial ##778# (PST). You will be asked to enter your MSL. Enter it, and you will be brought into the provisioning of your phone. From the top left, select Modem Settings. On this page, your Slot Cycle Index (SCI) is how often your phone polls the tower for incoming calls, etc. This value is 1.28 seconds multiplied by 2^value (i.e 0=1.28 secs, 1=2.56secs) with 0 fastest, 7 slowest. The default is 2, but lowering it to 1 hasn't noticeably affected my battery life, and roughly 2.5 second (SCI 1) response time is far more reasonable than roughly 5 seconds (SCI 2)

hope this helps Thank you

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] atoy74:
My Sprint Touch works with ##DATA# (no need to hit send)

So, ##3282# should work for you.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] e_town:
I must be missing something really stupid here. Press talk to open phone dialer, type in ##3282# and the menu should just come up? Ive done this on my last phone (a900) and it worked. As soon as i hit the last # the "service" menu just came up. But nothing on the Touch. WTF. Anyone else have this issue?

.eric
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] atoy74:
Thats it. You're doing it right. Only other suggestion is give the phone a soft reboot. Maybe there's something in memory causing problems.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] e_town:
Soft reboot and nothing. Sprint is about to get a call.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] e_town:
L A M E .

Called into sprint and had the glorious opportunity to talk to someone that just passed ESL. (english as a second language) Told them my problem, that i tried a client initiated IOTA update, soft resets ect. They instantly told me to reset the device. Got to an actual tech and they were stumped.

I pressed ##3282# and NOTHING happened. They were speechless leaving me no choice but to hard reset. ****. Gotta spend some time pulling off programs / files / reg settings and reset the beotch. I did get a nift number from them though, well, 2 actually. My MSL number (concidering having it engraved in my phone), and a higher tier direct tech support number.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] keshabaksht:
I was given an s6 edge as a gift while on vacation in the US. I put in my wind Canada sim and everything worked fine, I could call, text and my data was working. As soon as I landed back in Canada it stopped working, I can't call, text or use data. I checked for compatibility, and it said that the phone should work with wind. I also tried using the phone with Bell, Fido, Telus and Rogers. The phone would recognize the SIM and would even give me notifications about my voicemail, however when I tried to call someone it would just say emergency calls only. The phone should be unlocked since I have used it with my wind sim card while I was in the US. Anyone know if there's anything I can do to fix this problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] chris62594:
For anyone who might have bricked their device or just want to flash marshmallow on their s6 I have found the odin flashable file to do so. (Warning, make sure your bootloader is unlocked if you are upgrading or downgrading) I did a lot of research until I found this because I bricked my phone. Enjoy. http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-galaxy-s6-stock-firmware/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dandrumheller:
What process did you use to unlock your bootloader? I am under the impression no one has been able to do so on g920a.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] chris62594:
I was not able to unlock my bootloader. But I do know other people who can unlock bootloaders from other cell phone companies who want to switch to att firmeware so I included that phrase. I bricked my phone trying to downgrade when the bootloader was locked and had to find the original marshmallow firmware so I could fix my phone. I do believe though that once you own your phone you should be able to take a phone to att and have them unlock the bootloader from my understanding. That is what you have to do anyways if you want to change service to straight talk or other carriers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] whizpopthat:
AFAIK they will NETWORK unlock, which is what you're referring to, not bootloader unlock.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jesseb342:
I have an old Coolpad Quattro 2 (model 801 ES) that I was given to play around with. The phone hasn't had service in a couple years and I wanted to poke around in CDMA workshop or DFS to see what I could find. I have the MTP, ADB, and fastboot drivers all installed and working properly, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get this phone to connect as a modem / COM device so I can use it in the programs I want. I tried entering ##3424# (##diag#) from the dialer, which brings up the diagnostic menu, but also prompts me for my MSL code. I don't have it, but I did find a workaround by going into terminal emulator on the phone and running "su setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb" whici should put the phone into diagnostic mode. It does something. when I type it the phone disappears from device manager and shows back up as unknown device. I'm assuming this is because I don't have the correct diagnostic drivers installed, but as far as I can tell they don't exist. A weeks worth of Googling has led me to the conclusion that this is a ghost phone. the only info I can turn up is instructions on how to root (extremely outdated), an inbuilt security backdoor called "cool reaper", and multiple websites listing specs and reviews. No drivers, no firmware files, nothing. Not even on the manufacturers home page. I'm at a complete loss. Any ideas?

[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] Kwipper:
I have the Moto G4 Play (XT1607) (Harpia) and I have decided to flash LineageOS (lineage-14.1-20170131-nightly-harpia-signed.zip) on it using TWRP v3.0.2 r5. After getting it installed I noticed that it was not connecting to my 4g LTE Internet (I have Ting). So I figured I needed to make some changes to the APN settings. So I go to Settings>... More> Cellular Networks and the moment I click on "Cellular networks" I get an error message saying "com.android.phone has stopped". After reflashing and trying again a few times with the same result, I tried using a completely different ROM. AOKP. (aokp_harpia_nougat_nightly_2017-01-31.zip) and I ran into the same exact problem I was having with LineageOS.

I then tried to see if I could force my way into the APN configuration using an app called "Change APN". This worked, but now I see the message "Access Point Name settings are not available for this user". I decided to ignore this and click on the + to create a new APN. After filling the correct info out for Ting APN, I click on "Save"... and it doesn't save at all.

I decided to revert to the stock rom, and everything works perfectly fine with the stock rom. 4G LTE on Ting works fine. Whenever I try using a custom ROM of any kind, I run into the problem I described above. I don't know if I am forgetting to do something, or completely doing something wrong. I could use some help with this guys.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] mkollersms:

Yes. Ting is a Sprint service. Well either way LTE isn't working and the 3G keeps randomly turning on and off whenever I use a custom ROM. However, when I use Stock firmware, everything works perfectly fine. I am unsure what is causing the issue.

[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] n76:
With Ting you can choose to use Sprint or T-Mobile. I am using the T-Mobile side of Ting and you do need to add Ting's APN settings for it to work. I am still on factory ROM but watching closely to see what others are experiencing with custom ROMs.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] Choven1218:
I haven't noticed any issue with my GSM ting service on lineage. I get LTE and the WiFi/LTE handoff seems to work. I don't install many apps and don't let them run in the background, so perhaps there's a conflict between them that's shutting down LTE service. This is just a guess.
