Camera failed after ICS update,
Both the cameras of the tablet failed to work after the latest ICS update which happend today morning. Does anybody have a solution for this ? I already logged a ticket with Asus but have very less hope they would ever care.
Thanks!

I just tried using my cameras tonight and it doesn't work either. Already rebooted 5 times with no luck. Stock .28, this is all I get:

Mine works fine, Try one of the following:
1) Cold Boot: turn off unit, hold power and volume down until it boots and you see text on top. It should go into something just let it restart and cold boot. If this doesn't work try two.
2) Factory Default Wipe: Might help but idk. If it doesn't try 3?
3) Manual update to .28: If this doesn't fix the issue I am out of ideas.

Cold boot didn't work for me, I'll try a factory reset later I guess. This is disappointing.
Edit: I just decided to try the camera again, "cannot connect to camera" flashed up a few times and now I'm in a bootloop? I hate this maybe I'm just having a hardware problem. I hate RMA. The funny thing is that this worked fine for months on .21
How can I stop a bootloop without a battery pull? Hold the volume down button and power button while it tries to do a boot?

I am not sure but you can try that. Either that or wait for the battery to die. If you've got a hardware problem, no software solution is going to help you here. sorry =\
The green camera is hardware. Try gently squeezing the areas around the camera, it may fix it for a min. I had the same problem. You will probably have to RMA.
Argh.. Mine just went the same way!

Hey guys, having same problem since last update. But I don't see how it could logically be hardware. I can still use video on the back camera and that works fine. If i load my camera app i get the fuzzy screen, but when i switch to video and then back to camera i get clear photo, just when i take the photo it turns green. If it was hardware i dont think video would work to begin with. Any way of removing new updates? I have no dea

Recently my cellphone started doing this, all of a sudden, the touch screen stops receiving any input, and my phone locks, I can still use the keyboard, so I know the device is still running, only the touch screen appears to have the problem.
I was running under CM6 when this started to happen, so I tried re-flashing my ROM and nothing changed, then I restored my phone via SEUS, and still the problem was there, so I think the problem might be hardware related.
I've tried to mess around with my phone, trying to reproduce what triggers this behavior, and I'm thinking it has something to do with the hardware keyboard, as my phone does't lock up as easily as if I used the keyboard.
So, I'm currently looking for any suggestions (besides buying another phone for the time being) to bring my phone back to its former glory!
I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks.

Its probably the ribbon in the back, its better known as a "flex cable" of tiny cables connecting the motherboard and battery to your screen, if you can find a disassembly guide on the internet this can probably be fixed by buying the flex cable from Ebay... I fixed my old Nokia N80 through this method, it only cost me about 5-6 bucks.
When you open your phone appart, the flex cable should look like this...

}
I can't guarantee it will work but its probably worth a try.
I think i've seen a disassembly guide somewhere on the themes and apps part of forum.

Well alright, if the flex cable method does not work, your last resort should be changing the digitizer ie. the screen which can also be bought online.
Thanks to you all, I will try both and see if those fix the problem!

Detesto, keep us updated on how you get on... I hope you make it first time round. I've managed to find the x10 mini disassembly guide but not for the mini pro, there should be one out there. I don't recommend opening your phone without this guide btw, you can easy damage your phone all together.
Good luck.
Ooops!
Sorry guys! I totally missed replying to the thread!
I have a friend whom also had the X10 mini pro, and I tried with his ribbon cable and digitizer, and found out the problem was the digitizer, so I just replaced that part. That was almost a year ago... yikes!
The phone is well and running still, but I replaced my phone with the Optimus 2X and gave my xperia to my sister in law.
Thank you all for your help and sorry for the late response!
I think I'm the first to really bricked my two days old SGS2, haha..!
My phone had the Download Mode bug, so while trying to fix that according to a guide, I probably did something really stupid, and now I'm stuck with the black screen of death. Reading about JIG, I really feel that that is way beyond my knowledge.
There's really nothing else to do but to return the phone, right?

So, I opened the Samsung Micro USB contact, and it turns out that there's 4 and not 5 pins! Does anyone know which ones to use then? There's a red, green, white and black one.

You shouldn't have to mess up with pins.
A jig is a small micro-USB device that you plug into your phone while off, and it sets the phone into download mode.
Have you purchased one? Have you plugged it in? From the download mode, you can then flash an official or custom firmware.

Tried another USB which looked correct, and it worked!!! Amazing!!! You should see the smile on my face, haha!
So the next question, now being in the very sought-after "Downloading...Do not turn off target!!"-mode, what would I do next, should I find the original ROM somewhere and shoot it over via Odin?

So i need to "hard boot it" in the volum up-power - menu area...
Anyone knows what to do and how to fix it?
But when the cable is in and gives power to the unit its starts normal and turns off normal.... and that rly starts to piss me off
So pls help a noob
that is the battery temperature warning.
For some reason the contacts on the battery may not be making clean contact.
Take the battery out and with a tooth brush clean the contacts on the phone and the battery.
reinsert and see if that solves the problem.
nope it didnt help anything

ay. called the place i bought the phone and they gonna send me a thingy to send it back with.. and they sayd they would fix it or give me a new phone. So cant rly complain then
update: Phone got not repaired or replaced.. The clame it was water damaged.. The usb/charging port that is so i got my phone back. they didnt wanna touch it couse they told me it would die sooner or later.. they could change the mainboard but they didnt wanna do it.. So i need to fix it my self. so i ordred a new usb/charging thingy and gonna replace it when i get it.. Ill update if it works or not (sry my sucky english)
Bro dunno but have I tried using a new battery? The symbol is a temperature/battery warning. Did I get it wet??
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
nope. has not got wet at all... Even tho the repair dudes says it "water" damaged.. .Anyhow.. i ordered a new battery too. so first gonna test that before i change the usb part.
Get the battery cover, hold each of the sides with you're fingers and bend so the middle of it is going in ward, bend fairly far, now try, fixed my battery problem which was similar to this, also it would alsol think it's charging when it's not and constantly vibrate, I had been bending the back before and just realised when the phone was screen down it was fine so realised was loose, hope you fix it

well, you are the first person who actually fixed the problem. No one in all the forums I've been reading was able to identify or fix it.
Could you please tell how you replace it? are there any instructions or ¨comprehensive guide¨to do it?' I'm having the same problem too.
Thank you
No one like my fix? Worked for me? Also adding a bit of tape to the back of the battery worked
well. wasnt hard tbh. Just take apart so u get inside the phone. take of all "screws?" so mainboard is loose. then take out the usb board and replace it.. .should be doable without taking out the entire mainboard. i just "tipped" it upwards so i got the cable thingy out... sry about my sucky english.. U need proper tools to do it. cheap tho but the "screws" is so damn small. And yes.. my phone still works perfect.
hmm thing i posten a guide to it somewhere.. give me a sec..

I just turned my phone on and now all it's showing is a gray screen (see image) below.
Even when I pull the battery, it "boots" into this. After some time I do hear the booting sound.
The phone is unlocked/rooted/s-off'ed.
When I boot with the volume button down it does show something, but it's unreadable (only showing the top 1/2 part of the 1st text line)
Anyone here who might have a clue what is wrong, and how to fix it?
Thank you.

Lol no you probably need a new digitizer/lcd panel. That's my guess

Try booting into the boot loader and see if it still does that if not your rom has gone corrupt. Superwipe and reinstall.

Looks like the LCD is damaged or the connection ribbon for the LCD is loose.
What everyone's said so far is right. Your LCD is either broken or has a loose cable.
Send it in for repairs.
I don't see why they wouldn't repair it even if you are rooted, as this is their flaw, not a result of your rooting.
But to be safe, try and flash an RUU on the phone, for now.
Thank you all for the input.
It's still withing waranty, and will be picked up tomorrow for replair!
It's still rooted.. Let's see what they are going to say.
Will keep you guys updated!
re: Will keep you guys updated!
Today I gmy evo back..
(I was away for a holiday , so could not get the phone fixed before)
They replaced the motherboard... It's great, exept that I now can not root the phone anymore
Why not?

Hello,
My phone is with the most updated patch (March 1 2022).
I experience numerous bugs.
For example:
I have 2 shutter buttons on the camera.
The phone gets stuck all of a sudden and takes several minutes to be usable again.
It won't charge anymore... gives "phone's temperature is too low" error. It's 25c outside...
This is my first and last Samsung phone for sure.
In the past I had a Nokia, HTC and OnePlus. All three worked great for about 4 years each.
Samsung lasted less than 6 months. What a f#$&ing joke.

No I have not.
Fortunately the phone is still under warranty so I put it in a repair shop.
But, in the past I had a Nokia, HTC and OnePlus. All three lasted about 4 years.
The Samsung failed after less than half a year.
I will never buy another Samsung phone.
ok
Got the phone back from the lab.
Seems like everything is ok now, including the bugs in the camera app.
I don't think they opened the device. They just did a system update. But "better" than the OTA one.

There is no camera bug. Its a deliberate feature in the camera app to be able to position a floating shutter button where it is easier for you to tap. Its especially useful for those with small fingers. If you go to the camera settings and tap on shooting methods, you will see a toggle for floating shutter button. If its visible already, you can remove it quickly by holding on the floating shutter button and then tapping on the minus ( - ) that pops up next to it.
As for the too cold error, I have never seen that before. The fact its unique to you tells me its not a software issue (or everyone would have it) and its likely a hardware issue with your device. They may have replaced the charging board or a sensor. Bare in mind they are an official repair centre so they will return your phone with no evidence of it being opened. Every repair in the repair centre also involves making sure the phone is updated to the latest update so thats not unusual to see either. I've had them update my phone for a simple screen repair which I was furious about.
sometime factory reset helps
