Recently started getting this warning that prevents me from using my camera app.
I'm running the captivate's stock camera app on the leaked vibrant T959UVJI2 firmware. I wasn't having any issues until a few days ago, so I'm not exactly sure what caused the problem.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE:
I checked to see if another app was the culprit and ended active services one by one and found out that tasker was causing the problem.
Turns out it was one of my profiles. Deleted it, everything is fine now.
Thanks for the help
Did you try to flash the stock camera back?
I did flash it back but it didn't fix the problem.
did you tried to update the camera firmware from service menu ?
I just got my captivate yesterday and I've been having the same problem. Sometimes the camera works, sometimes it doesn't. It will occasionally just show a blank green screen. I checked my running services and all I have running while camera is up is omadrmconfig service,htc_ime mod snsservice, and backservice. If I can't find a solution I might just unroot and factory reset.

I'm certain its an application interfering with it.
I've read about other people having these issues with Fring and Goggles.
Try uninstalling applications that use the camera to start and reboot your phone.
If that doesn't work perhaps doing a factory reset isn't a bad idea.
The root shouldn't be an issue.
Good luck
Tried un-rooting and then factory resetting and even tried installing the camera people are using for the vibrant. Not really sure what to do It feels like I'm playing camera roulette with this phone because it works about 5% of the time. Luckily the guy I bought it from has the warranty papers...probably sold it to me knowing it was faulty
Solved?
I just recently started having problems with my camera. Same thing that is described here. You say it was one of your profiles. Profile for what exactly? I have reset it back to factory. Camera still didn't work. I have updated camera firmware. Still nothing.
solved!
I had this particular issue but finaly made it work and a different way , I clear the cache video application then reboot and thats it and done
My phone fails constantly as well, almost 100% of the time. However, there is a trick that gets the phone working again, albeit temporarily:
- Press hard on the lens of the camera with your thumb, in a smudging motion until the screen, in my case, turns from black to actual picture. Try to snap a pic. If this fails, keep pressing on the lens and try again. Eventually the camera fail message goes away. Most of the time this trick will work but sometimes it'll never work either.
Note that if your speaker fails, pressing it hard will make it work as well. Something is screwy with the casing or build of these phones, signs of a cheap product. This will be my last samsung product to say the least.

Ok, so my girlfriend dropped her phone and cracked the screen, I ordered a new LCD/Digitizer assembly and everything seemed fine. She then realized that it had a dead line while playing Draw Something. I sent back and just received a new assembly and installed it. Ever since I installed it the screen will occasionally black out and lock up. It takes forever for screen to come back up and seems very random in how long. I try powering off and on to no avail. Once it does come back I get an error log in the notification pull down saying it just rebooted form an unexpected reboot error and I have sent this notification 3 or 4 times.
Things I have tried.
Taking apart and checking all connections as well as cleaning screen on inside and out where proximity sensor goes. I am seriously at a loss, it seems to work for a while on a fresh(actual battery pull) and work fine until it just freezes no button push except power button which shuts off screen and then never comes back except for the captivate buttons on the bottom. I have searched for answers but haven't found anyhing like before.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Kevin
I know that feel bro.

I've actually had this exact same problem with my phone. I haven't replaced the screen but ever since the update my phone will do what hers does. It will freeze after a bit of use and I cannot do anything with it but do a simpull and then it will work again for a bit. I haven't been able to fix it. I have done factory resets, had the store reflash the software and yadda yadda yadda. I'm havinh my phone replaced now but it's frustrating not being able to figure out how to fix it when I feel like it should be fixable since it literally didn't even start until minutes after I installed the update.
It sucks.
Hey guys,
I got my Redmi note 2 yesterday and I'm having trouble with the touchscreen. sometimes it seems to be perfectly fine and sometimes it doesn't react properly. It seems to be worse in the right half of the screen. Sometimes I start scrolling and it works fine in the beginning, then the screen stops detecting my finger and when it detects it again, it opens the thing that my finger is on instead of scrolling.
I'm not sure if this is a hardware of a software bug.
Would calibrating the screen help? If so, whats the best way to do that?
I would usually try flashing a clean stock rom (the one it came with has some bloatware anyway) and test if that resolves the issue, but that's probably not the best idea if I decide to return it.
thanks for your help

Try entering in the MTK Eng. Mode, then go to Hardware Testing->TouchScreen->HandWriting and try drawing some lines crossing the point where the problem occurs.
A friend of mine had a Nexus 5 with a malfunctioning touchscreen, doing a similar test we noticed that there was a full horizontal line where the touch were not detected so every vertical line we were trying to draw were broken on the point where the bad line were crossed.
Obviously in that case it was an hw fault.
EDIT:
Reading your post again, it seems a behavior caused by lag, so maybe it's a sw problem and not an hw one, especially for the fact that "it opens things instead of scrolling".
Does it always happen in the same point/area? Or is it totally random?

I already did that and the results are very inconsitent. When I first tried it, it started drawing a line as it should, then it stopped and started again half a centimeter later, then it stopped again, and it pretty much went like that from top to bottom of the screen (at least on the right side of the screen, the left side worked better).
When I did the same test again, it didn't even draw lines, it just highlighted a few single pixels along the way that my finger was traveling.
And currently everything works perfect and smooth as it should.
It does kind of feel like a software-thing, but in my mind (correct me if I'm wrong) that should affect the complete screen equally and it just doesn't. I tried pulling down the notification bar earlier, from the top right of the screen and it just didn't work. I did a few tries and nothing happened. Then I tried pulling it down from the top left and it worked fine.
As I said it works fine at the moment, but I guess I'll make a few screenshots and a video of the problem, when it occurs again.
Ok, so the problem came back and I was able to do some more testing and make a video (sorry about the shabby quality, but it'll have to do ).
youtube . com / watch?v=rKsponNr9lA
As it turns out, the whole screen is affected equally, so I'm pretty confident that it's just the software but I'd still like to hear a second opinion.
The thing that kinda throws me off is that the reboot didn't help at all...
So what do you think? Is it just buggy software?
I'd try contacting the seller and explaining him the problem.
Maybe he will ask you to flash a new rom to be sure that it's a hardware problem and not something that could be solved without a replacement. That's what happened with my first phone from China.
If not, you could ask him and I think he will authorize you.

Hey xda-community,
i've registered, because i have a strange problem with my LG G5 (H850) European Edition. If this is of any use, it's the Vodafone-Edition. Sorry for my language, i'm not a native speaker .
I got my G5 yesterday and was really pleased with the build quality (i was afraid, i was about the get some of those flawed devices as seen on the internet) and the raw power of the whole package. At first i didn't notice but then i realized, that the automatic brightness didn't work. Then i noticed, while having a conversation, that the display was'nt turned down. Up to this point it sounds like the known bug.
What i think (and please, push me into the right direction if i'm wrong - i'd love to take the shame not beeing able to look properly) makes the difference is, that after installing several sensor test apps from playstore, i always got the information, that both sensors are missing.
I took a trip into service menu and tried to calibrate (or better so say, to see if there was any sign of them) those sensors, but nothing happened. No reaction while covering the area where they are supposed to be, nothing.
Firmware is v10c-262-02. Tried to reset the phone and check while having nothing installed - same problem. I tried safe mode - same problem. I can check autobrightness but it doesn't have any effect whatsoever.
What really makes me shake my head is, that when i'm called and i turn the the display downwards to stop the sound, it works after 2 up to 3 times trying to cover the display.
I'd hate to send it in - maybe i'm just too stupid to look for answers, i'd really appreciate any efforts to help.
Thanks in advance and have a nice day.

Hey there,
short follow up to the problem. Yesterday evening i got a notification about an firmware update and wanted to install it. After hitting the proceed button nothing happened. Nothing. No installation, nada. I shook my head, deceided to return the damn brick and forgot about it. After an hour i noticed that my soft keys had changed their appearance. They got smaller. I asumed a kind of silent update (? nothing is shocking me anymore concerning this phone), checked the brightness control - no change. An hour ago i wanted to unlock my phone and got no reaction. I was about to hard reset it when it unlocked. I scrolled down the notification bar to check something when i noticed that the brightness was different from my setting. I hit the auto brightness button and bazinga. It changed by itself and since then everything works like a charme. The firmware version hasn't changed. I don't have the knowledge to explain anything or to know if something like this is even possibe (something was definitly new because all those vodafone apps where there again - which i deinstalled yesterday). Okay, long story short - either i'm officially going insane or they fixed it. Don't know, don't care.
Have a nice weekend!
Update: And it's gone again. I have no idea what to do anymore. I don't know if anyone is interessted in this, but i share the info anyway...
With Sensors (Umgebungslichtstärkesensor = Ambient light sensor, Näherungssensor = Proximity Sensor)

It certainly sounds like it *might* be defective, as you say that you have tried a factory reset.
It is a strange problem you have as it only appears to happen occasionally. It also sounds quite annoying. I know it is a pain to have t return it, but it might be better to do that and have a fully functional device, than to keep on facing this problem.
Sorry not to be able to give you a more satisfactory solution.
Good luck.

Hello,
thank your very much for your reply. I agree, i think it'll be the only option i have. I'll try to do return it, it's quite easy in Germany but, nevertheless, connected to some time without a phone.
Have a nice sunday,
Nero
I have this same issue with the proximity sensor and in my case it is because of the Lifeproof case is causing this, many others with this case report the same thing. Try taking out of the case and test again - mine works fine with no case; If this still happens, with no case on, then maybe the phone

Thank you for trying to help Sensor was damaged, send it in for repair and got it back. One can be sure that it's not a matter of blocked access to the sensors when a sensor test shows, that there are no sensors.
Told about this in so many forums that i forgot to tighten the loose ends. Sorry.
Kind regards
Hi, my "great" z5 compact camera broke like 1 week ago without any actual problem, the app were crashing all the time, any other app said the camera is already used, the diagnostics said that camera is "not available", and even the flashlight button on quick settings menu didnt work, lovely. I waited for some time and woke up today to working camera and no longer shy flashlight button, but the camera doesnt switch to any mode else than 5 mp "superior" auto, just crashes. When it crashed the flashlight disappeared again, but still works in the auto mode and i cant even disable it. Funny part is when i moved when making a photo, the autofocus started buzzing like crazy, vibrating the whole phone with it. i would love some help with my "premium high quality" smartphone. Thanks
Now after my autofocus got heart attack it went to the starting point, when the camera will decide to work again(and after this incident im not sure if it will) im not going to use my camera and let it sit for some time

I'd try a software repair using Xperia companion. This should at least determine if it's software or hardware. If you do this, I'd recommend a complete wipe.

I forgot to mention that once i tried opening the app, it showed like a fountain of rainbow pixels sliding across my screen ( as the camera view, it didnt cover the buttons) i dont know i this makes it easier to distinguish if its software or hardware but just mentioning, also when i went to messenger app and tried to make a photo it was alright.
So I bought a battery for my Mido and followed videos on youtube on replacing it. It all seemed to go well until I started to use my phone. The middle part of my screen doesn't register touches. I was able to install a touch screen test app and you can see that nothing is registering in the middle. Any Ideas? I've attached the screen shot.

Maybe it's software problem.If you have twrp installed check if the problem appear there too.If not then maybe it's indeed a software glitch.Then maybe you can try a factory reset or clean installation of the rom.
If that doesn't work maybe you can try reconnect the cables you had to disconnect during the battery change process and putting back the previous battery.Not an expert just some logical thoughts.

I'll test twrp in the morning. Doubt it'll be that. The only connectors I detached were the finger print sensor and battery. I hate prying my phone open. Was such a pain the first time. I'll have to open it up to see if maybe I knocked some other connection loose at all.
I am facing this exact same problem. Pretty much a vertical strip of screen on the right hand side of the screen is unresponsive for me. Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/8Uqn2lp_d.jpg
I took the phone to the service center, while I had warranty. They pretty much said to my face that this kind of problem can pop up when you've dropped the screen too much and that I need to get the screen replaced to fix it.
