Sooo... will the warranty still cover this?
Just a couple of hours ago just when I received the dongle(took longer then a month, but I can't complain ) I randomly tried GPS Essentials Camera feature and whaddya know? It doesn't work anymore. I think the camera just pop'ed from the board or something, but how? this thing is way to expensive to throw it anywhere like some nokia device. I've been so careful with it, sure I have some scratches here and there but I had nothing like this before...

Common problem. Search. RMA only choice.
Well I didn't notice anything like this to roll around in the forums so I'll ask here: Can I fix it myself maybe? or can't I because of some warranty stickers in the way?

As I can guess, you can't fix it completely by yourself. My tablet has the same problem and it is now in service centre. Waiting for the results.(Best variant is receiving it on Wednesday).

In fact, if you have warranty card, you can try and send it to your service centre. If it won't help, try to get your money back.

Hi
I have a Galaxy S3 white 16gb.
One of the first first things a did when first turning on my new phone was to try the camera. I switched from the back to the front camera and then back again and now the camera app wont even open. After about 20 seconds after opening the camera app I get ' Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.'.
I thought if I turned the phone off and on again this may fix the problem but no. I then removed the battery for a few seconds but this again, this did not fix the problem.
The only way I could get the camera to work again was to do a factor reset. I just have to open up the camera app and switch from back to front and back again and the same problem occurs.
Is it only me?
Thanks
Me too
Hi,
No it's not just you I have this issue too! Not a happy bunny
I'm thinking it maybe a software release error. My device settings are
Android 4.0.4

I got it from Vodafone UK.

Hi,
No I'm not keeping mine. I also contacted samsung and they have said to return it to the supplier.
As for the firmware I connected mine to Kies and Kies informed me that my phone was not compatabile for a firmware upgrade via Kies. I can only guess that there is no firmware upgrade available.
Cas
I have been chatting in the Vodafone UK eforum.
I have spoken to Vodafone and they said it is not a known issue so seems like a hardware problem with my device. They are arranging for a new one to be sent to me Thursday so I can swap.
Other than that is seems like a great device.

I just tried what you said - took a pic with the front camera, switched to the back and took another, then closed and restarted the camera - and it worked fine for me.
Although I did spot that you're on a later revision than I am (my phone's SIM-free)

Yes I know that "well it works for me" isn't that helpful. That said, maybe you can use this as "evidence" that you've got a busted phone? HTH

Couldn't you have said the person on Craigslist must have done something to it since you bricked it so soon after receiving it? That's what I would have said.

2 days ago I traded my HTC Vivid for a Galaxy Note with a dude on Craigslist (dumb move on his part) & within less than 24 hours of having it, I managed to hard brick it by flashing an incompatible kernel. Completely my fault.
LUCKILY, I took the phone into an AT&T store and played the dumb card. After about 45 minutes of going back & forth with the store manager and a warranty agent on the phone, they decided to send me a brand new replacement at no charge. Should be here Monday.
I feel like I really lucked out seeing as to how I traded with someone on Craigslist.. I really thought I was screwed!

Don't understand. Are you bragging about making a totally avoidable mistake or how you lied to AT&T reps? Either way I don't see too much to shout about.

I couldn't agree more
If people are flashing things they should at least be responsible for messing up.
And this also could be a good reason why apple is closed source

Oh gee, I hope AT&T doesn't see that Cory Peterson from Texarkana, Arkansas has defrauded them.

Hi There,
My wife just got her S5 and right from the get go she started noticing issues. She then restarted it and it worked fine for a small length of time. From what I can gather it has a yellow screen and when you try and do anything it kicks it back to a black screen.So essentially you can't do anything with it. I've played around with lot's of phones but never had something quite like this on a brand new phone that just arrived.
Here are a couple pictures that she sent me. If any of you can give any insight it's greatly appreciated. I've been scowering the web as I'm a work right now and I can't turn up anything.

Maybe by entering the recovery and factory resetting it. That's the only thing I will try before I go to Tmobile and complain furiously!

I appreciate the suggestion. I'll give it a try, it can't really hurt anything. I worry it's something in the display/hardware itself of which it's my understanding Tmobile has them backordered at this point.
Thank you,

Definitely return/exchange that when you can. I'd even go by just to tell them so they don't pull any "hey why didn't you come in earlier?" stuff on ya. But that's definitely a hardware issue that shouldn't be happening.

No problem. Doesn't matter if it's back ordered or not, new shipments come every week. You payed for a new phone and that's what you should get. For future reference make sure you also get the handset protection if you don't have it.

My brother is an owner of a Stock Sony Xperia Ultra Z and since installing the 5.0.2 OTA update he can no longer make or recieve calls, and instead hears strange noises, like a needle scratching across a record, with beeps and pops like R2D2 speaking. Alarms and notification noises are similarly weird. Also massive battery drain.
Although it's intermittent, there's no pattern, and it has really scuppered his day as he relies on his phone for business and now can't make or take calls and is understandably annoyed considering this is a standard update.
Has anyone else experienced problems like this?

I guess that isn't as bad as it sounds. Just backup everything before doing it.
What is drastic for me is the event that you have to use Flash Tool.

Not as prevalent anymore, but still intermittent. Can't work it out.
starting to happen again. Going to root and do a custom ROM.
Any recommendations? CyanogenMod 12.1 Togari?
It's the second time they prevent me from unlocking my OWN damn device

It's your OWN device, but THEIR soft/firmware. It's as simple as that.
I just think it's stupid. NO ONE else does this but LG, not Samsung, not Motorola, only LG. Sucks that they were my only flagship option at the time of purchase

Told ya so.
I always check the XDA forums these days before buying a device. You can't just assume that you can unlock and root.
If you really want a G6 that's unlockable you should buy an international version somewhere instead.
Is sad, but, only OPEN EU can be unlocked. My G6 is Open from Chile and i cant unlock it too. If I'm not wrong, unlock the bootloader is guaranteed by law in Europe.
Next time you buy a phone research it first.

Actually if you get a pixel on EE/Verizon you can't unlock the bootloader either
