Video recording failed - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
This is the second time that I flash 4.1.2 XXLEKC official ROM on my phone and after rooting and installing Titanium, freezing game hub etc. my phone fails to record video. I tried starting fresh again and it worked fine. I defrosted all the frozen applications and it still didn't make a difference. It just wont record. Any idea why?
Thanks.

[Q] Optimus T stops functioning after rooting

I recently purchased an Optimus T and rooted it with z4root and then installed Titanium Backup to delete some of the preinstalled apps, like the Pacman Demo.
As I was removing each app, (~5 at this point) the Home button suddenly stopped working, followed by total phone death. Even after factory reset, when I was trying to access the phone, eventually I was shown a "... setup.exe stopped responding..." (or something like that) message and my phone just stayed stuck on the booting screen (android) every time I restart (w/o entering factory reset).
Does anyone have any ideas, or know which apps can prevent the phone from booting properly? A list of safe apps to delete would be helpful too. I thought I was pretty cautious with removing only non essential apps, but it seem bricked. Thanks again!

About list off apps, I have to agree. Even it there is litle problem with dependencies, some minimum describe of these issue will be great!!
So, about your problem - I think, that you will have to download original ROM and do flashing with KDZ_FW_UPdater. (search on xda for more information).
But definitely, if it's possible I would try to install custom recovery throw adb shell (android SDK tools) and do backup of system for possibility to recovery or saving at least few data, and after try wipe and install one of custom ROM.
This happened to me after I tried deleting preinstalled apps on my Optimus One... Sent it in for repairs since it just stopped working. The tech guy said he did a "software update" and everything is good as new (except for the LGMITS error once in a while)
They didn't even bother trying to fix mine. They just told me to send it in and gave me a replacement.
So I finally figured out what I did wrong - basically when I was doing the deleting, I accidentally deleted the LG Home app, which effectively deactivated my (duh) home button and effectively stopped everything from functioning properly. For some reason I thought it was just a simple link from my phone directly to the LG website, as would happen with new PCs very often. Well... won't be doing THAT again.
However, my web2go button isn't working. I have to force quit every time I try to click on it. Can I just get rid of it or will it just give me more trouble later on?
At least you knew what went wrong with yours... I was just erasing CarHome and Layar and the LG App Adviser among other things i wont be using like Twitter and Latitude.
And they even gave you a new one x__x I had to wait 5 days before everything was good as new. After the first fix, USB debugging and mass storage stopped working so I sent it in for another "software update"...

[Q] Stuck with my XPERIA (Please Read)

Hi!
I own a XPERIA L / C2105. I've upgraded to 4.2.2 OTA and rooted my phone. I immediately started to uninstall software that came pre-installed with the phone that I knew I never going to use it. I also uninstalled some system apps which I don't remember, but I was sure they were safe to uninstall (walkman, default album app, themes, live wallpapers, etc.)
The phone was performing fine, and all the functions were working properly. In recent time, I've noticed sluggish performance, hold ups and black screens. Restarts were not improving the performance, so I've decided it's time to do a factory reset. After the factory reset, the phone restarted, and all my apps backed with from my google account. But after using the phone that day, I found out that several things were not working.
- Notifications were not showing up in the notifications bar (although the button clear appeared).
- The camera was not working (initalization with the default app couldn't be made, but 3rd party camera apps worked, such as instagram or vsco).
- Incoming calls were not possible (they appeared in the call list as accepted (not missed) calls. When I try to call my phone it always rejects the call).
Maybe there's some other bugs, but for now these are the most important.
Since I've rooted and installed custom ROMS on my previous phones, I'm generally familiar with the process on how to restore the stock rom on my phone, but there's a problem. This phone doesn't allow to unlock the Bootloader! The bootloader is locked, so there's no way I can install a stock rom to fix the non-working issues.
Is there some other way to restore the functionality of the phone?
Thanks
caregan but
I've just found out that I can restore a stock rom without having to unlock the bootloader, using flashtool. Delete this thread, problem solved!

Samsung Galaxy S3 resetting

Good afternoon all,
I have recently updated my Samsung Galaxy S3 via kies to Android 4.3. I couldn't do the update over the air as it was rooted. I had to go through and root my phone again through Odin and again all that went fine.
However since doing this I have had to restore my device 2 times as it shuts down every now and then and I find I 'lose' some apps...mainly games, which I find annoying. It also wipes any saved text messages.
At first I thought it was only losing apps that I'd downloaded through other means (i.e. not Play) but it appears not. I still have the apk files stored on the phone and have tried to re-install them but I get a message of 'app not installed'
Can anyone tell me why this is the case? As I have previously said it has only been since updating to Android 4.3. Not sure if it is due to rooting my phone (i'm guessing not).
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Chris

Please use the red report button and ask a mod to move the post.
See multiple posts re OTA and root problems.
Suggest factory reset if that does not fix then flash stock 4.3 through Odin .
I know that I can't do OTA updates... My problem is that the phone will restart, without warning and when it reboots I have lost all my text messages and a few apps. Trying to reinstall the apk files gives me the error 'app not installed'
I have tried factory reset both through the recovery mode and the system settings, but nothing resolves it.
My phone is rooted and runs Android 4.3 which was updated through kies.
The apps it loses are games so that's not a major issue... It's all the text messages.
I have a very similar problem, phone always shuts down and restarts on it's own. A couple of times it has lost some apps but usually it just starts up again fine but it's very annoying. Sometimes it gets stuck in a boot loop too.
A Google search for random reboot or random shut down brings up a lot of results but no solution's, so it seems to be a common problem. It's not just the stock rom either as it still does it when rooted and running other roms.

Strange problem with my Galaxy S4 Verizon SCH-1545 of no sound, video or app work

I've Galaxy S4 Verizon - SCH1545 with 5.0.1 Lollipop and Baseband 1545VRUGOF1. Bought a month ago, it worked fine for 15 days but then sound went off. Also I was unable to play any video nor any application is working. Getting error of Unfortunately UI has stopped and(App) is not responding. Upon trying below steps, sound comes sometime and app works fine then but it doesn't stay long when again starts same behavior. I get it when start phone and it doesn't play the sound when shows Samsung logo.
1. Cleared the cache of Play Store, Google Framework and Google Play Services
2. Wiped cache partition and Factory Reseted
3. Rooted the device
4. Unable to install TWRP or CWM
5. Odin gives Nand write error
6. If phone stuck with "Use Verizon Software Repair Assistant...", able to bring it back by CF Auto JFLTEXX-GTI9505.tar.md5. Although Odin gives error but after error, I disconnect the USB cable and phone starts
7. Tried Verizon Software Repair Assistant and Samsung Kies to update the firmware but same issue
8. Can't find GooManager in Play Store. Installed by APK but GooManager doesn't find any list or unable to find Script (to install TWRP)
9. Rooted the phone. Confirmed by Root Checker but Flash Fire shows "are you rooted?"
will be very thankful for anyone who has idea or had same problem.
As far as I understand custom recoveries are only available for MDK. Your best bet is to odin your current build and start there.

I don't mind any rom or whatever settings are. Just want to solve sound and other issues I'm facing.
I tried Samsung Kies and Verizon Software Repair Assistant to reload the firmware but still the same issue of sound goes off, youtube, apps and videos don't play.
I know its not hardware problem because this all gets ok sometimes after maybe reset, wipe cache, clear play store/services storage or factory reset... then goes off again after some time.
thanks for the reply
noticed one more thing. If I keep it off for few hours, the sound come back. And again goes off after some time.

UI system error

After upgrade apps yesterday I get "UI system error" on my screen when I hold down the Home button.
I tried everything including Factory reset, but again when standard apps are upgraded error message comes again.
There no 3rd party apps installed at the moment ONLY default apps.
How to solve this problem?
Thanks
Which ROM is on the phone?
No ROM, default OS, with root been made.
I tried to flash CM 14 or Lineage OS, but for both I get error during verifycation, says: can't verify whole-file signature.
I had the same problem (rooted phone but standard ROM) and found a youtube video where it told me to uninstall the last Google update which I did and it cured the problem.

Send the link please!
The phone must have a rom installed; otherwise, it would never boot to a system UI.
Hi,
I had the same issue and after checking around the web, seems to be google app's latest update at fault here. Go to setting and uninstall updates. Worked for me!
Yes! Google App was the problem thank you!
Yep, getting this issue on my stock rooted s3. Can't view recents, just crashes the ui. Out of the blue, phone hasn't been used for anything but calls and texts.
