TL;DR, one can opt out by emailing them at optout@sea.samsung.com with the info. they require (refer to 5th paragraph in Terms and Conditions) and/or one can opt out by calling Samsung. This section is the typical EULA bs ...

For those keeping their phone stock, which is the majority, this is more relevant to that group of folks. On the other hand, with Android getting more and more locked down, it limits the options for the enthusiasts as well.

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Bastien_:
Hello,

i have a factory unlocked U11, US model running 8.0.0 security patch Dec 1st 2017

this patch was pushed to my device last week and since it installed the camera app is unable to start, nothing happens, i just get a msg: unable to start camera

using a 3rd party camera app produces the same result.

Has anyone encountered the same issue?

is there a way to resolve it? i wiped the cache by entering recovery mode, i would like to avoid doing a factory reset since i have a lot of data on the phone.

Does anyone have the apk for the HTC camera app for U11?

thank you
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] shivadow:
Remove the external sdcard if you have one, see if that has anything to do with it. If not then the problem is going to be in internal memory, most likely the data partition. Specifically /data/data/ which you cannot touch without s-off and root. A factory reset or wipe /data from recovery will fix it but you lose your data.

Check that the camera app has the permissions granted that it needs granted.

Remove all third party camera apps. One might not be releasing the camera when it closes.

Remove all the junk apps that are not from a reputable developer.

A factory reset will most likely fix the problem so start moving everything to external sd so you don't lose your photos etc and manually sync and remove your Google profile before you reset. Manually removing the profile will prevent the FRP lockout bug.

If none of these work then it is very possible that hardware failure has occurred.

Are you shown a "Unable to start camera" toast when you try to access your camera? You are not alone!

I've been having this issue since mid January 2019. I have been using my front camera on Snapchat as a make do.

I'm really impressed with this phone. I still prefer my G3 that's rooted or even my old V10. But after this I'm going to go to a more Dev friendly phone.

LG has shown that just because they make the varient of OS that runs on their phones the end consumer has no rights to modify it, even though you pay upwards of $600-$800 a phone. Never in my life would I have thought I would so regularly pay so much for a phone that I'll just replace in a few years.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] hack.causality:
I recently bought a US998 from B&H and had to return it due to a severe yellow-green color distortion on the bottom third of the screen. My V30 was manufactured in February. Inspecting my nearby carrier stores, I found one V30 with a similar but milder version of the problem and one that didn't appear to have it at all. Is this a common problem? Is there any way to avoid it other than buying V30s and returning them if they exhibit it?

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] djmcnz:
Well, having come from a long line of Nexus phones I really like the 5T and OOS except...

I can't get many simple videos to play back - either getting a 'MIME/Not Supported' or 'EXCEPTION' in the logs.

An example is the video at the top of this article: https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/pr...n-my-quiet-cul-de-sac-say-Auckland-neighbours

Can others play that video?

Now, installing VLC or otherwise is NOT a solution because many videos I'm struggling with are embedded so use the built in Chromium player.

Everything works fine on my 6.0.1 Nexus 5x but many (most?) don't work on my 8.0.0 (OOS 5.0.4) OP 5T.

If I can't play most of the media I find on the web the phone is practically useless and will be going back. This is a 1990's problem, not one we should be facing in 2018.

Thoughts? Insights? Comments?

As it happens https://oneplus.net/support/ticket/submit is broken too at the moment, nice one OP.

Open beta 4. Play just fine. No problem here.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Animal2017:
I am interested in buying the 5T, among other phones... so I was intrigued by your post.

I tried this link on my home computer - and do you realize the video in question is a APPLE "mpeg.url" link? It could simply be the app your phone is dedicated to use is not equipped to understand URL's as links. Try installing a different browsers, and try to play it with each....and see what your results are.

I suspect the problem is the default app isn't equipped to understand those links. My Asus tablet TF700 had a similar issue until I realized it was the old version of "Chrome" that was installed on it that was having the problem... FireFox on the same Tablet didn't exhibit the same problem.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] djmcnz:
Thanks for the suggestions [MENTION=8814249]Animal2017[/MENTION], I have tried a few browsers with the same result I'm afraid.

Since [MENTION=6240491]tanpro260196[/MENTION] can play the videos with the stock (albeit beta) ROM and browser I think I'll flash back to fresh and new first and build from there. OnePlus tech support also advise they can play the video on a 5T (not sure of ROM version though) so there's hope.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Adnan008:
Tried with mozilla Firefox and Chrome, video plays just fine. OB4
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] djmcnz:
Okay, well I dirty-flashed OB4 and the problem is fixed.

I then decided to go back to 8.0 using a nandroid backup to see if I could diagnose further (an unnecessary step but for my interest). TWRP proceeded to bork my storage so I lost everything on /data and /sdcard including all my backups. Great.

Anyway, thanks for the help and replies.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Gulfstream 650:
Just unlocked, rooted (w/Magisk), and installed TWRP about a week ago. I'm on the stock ROM with the Feb security update. The March security update is pushing to my phone but fails install due to the previous mentioned items. I'm reading that a few problems are popping up that are contributed to the update so I'm holding off on installing it for now. How can I get it to quit trying to install it and showing the notification in the status bar? You can't dismiss the notification and if you reboot it tries to install the update again..
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] niko26:
How did you install TWRP and keep it across updates?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Gulfstream 650:
Thanks for the response! I'm not 100% sure what you're asking, but I installed TWRP and magisk while on 8.1.0 and the Feb 2018 security update. A week or two later the March security update was released and pushed to my phone as an OTA but it fails install due to (and I'm guessing) the unlocked bootloader and root. Now I constantly have a failed install message in my notification bar and it won't go away. How can I keep the phone from attempting to install the OTA Update knowing it will fail?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] altwu:
the ota update is failing to install because your phone is rooted. the bootloader can be unlocked, but otas will fail to install if the os is not completely stock.

if you manually flash the march update, whether it's the ota or the full factory image, the notifications about an update being available or the failed install will go away.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Gulfstream 650:
I understand the reason it's failing. I don't really want to install the the OTA as I'm reading it has created additional problems. Is there anyway to keep the phone from checking for an update and subsequently failing and showing the notification?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] AP2FTW:
When I got the notification to update, I just long pressed on it and hit the toggle to turn off notifications from whatever it was that it said it was coming from...Google play services I think?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] kboya:
I flashed the full March Factory Image using the bat.all script (-w removed to keep data), then fastbooted into twrp 3.2.0.0 and flashed magisk. No additional problems or any issues at all.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fiverings:
Did you try turning off automatic update in Developer mode.

No, to me that is a no no especially if you have Flashfire installed
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] altwu:
same here. no problems with the march update + magisk. i've never updated using an ota. i always flash the full factory image.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] niko26:
Let me elaborate:

Right now, if you install TWRP permanently, you don't get any OTAs. So you must install a full image. When you install the full image, TWRP get's wiped. So you always have to install TWRP using your computer. That's a real hassle for me.

Or is there any easy way how you can install a full image, while keeping TWRP or reinstalling TWRP on top without using a computer?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] kboya:
I'm not sure if this is a question to me or the OP!

Me? No, there's no need as once flashed any OTA notification is redundant and no longer displayed. Anyway, I usually dl and flash the new factory image when it's posted online. The whole process takes maybe 20 mins including the dl time. Also, if there are any "new issues" with a release, as the OP is suggesting, it's just as easy to go back a month with the previous factory image (easier as it's already dl'd)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Gulfstream 650:
Good point, it's fairly easy to revert to the previous version if problems crop up. I'm going to go ahead and make the plunge. **edit** installed the March image and reinstalled TWRP and Magisk, so far so good.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] kboya:
Cool. Hope it stays that way.
