My C6806 doesn't display pictures immediately after reboot. If I take a camera shot, the small icon displaying the save process is going and going forever, and the picture is not saved. 15-20 minutes after reboot it works fine. I'm on .290 firmware, rooted. Scratching my head what's wrong... Anyone else have this problem or knows how to fix it?

Hi,
Recently I'm having a problem with the LED flash, whenever I try to use it either to take a photo or on the flashlight app, it makes a short flicker and then shuts down. In case I want to take a picture at night it is particularly annoying because the flash terminates before the picture is actually taken so everything comes out darkened.
I'm wondering if anyone else ever experienced this problem as well. I'm not sure this is a hardware problem like a busted flash, or maybe there some software bug making this happen.

I never had this issue.
Have you already tried to install the S2 Camera Update from Samsung Apps?
It tests if you need the firmware update for the S2 camera and installs it if needed.
Additionally you can test the flash "hardware" by using any of the flashlight apps from the Market. Just to check, if the LED works fine.
Good luck !
Thanks for the reply!
I will check Samsung camera app, though I think my firmware is up to date.
As for the torch app, I have tried using it and it shows the same kind of behavior.
The only thing that makes me think this is a software issue is that the ffash does turn on for fraction of a second.

i know, eh?
I am having the exact same problem.
the flash goes on for the metering, then flashes a few times quickly but never in sync with the shutter, it seems..
sometimes torch applications work but never for very long (if i turn it off, sometimes i can't turn it back on, i mean... rarely problems with it not staying on)
i've had a few pictures showing up with vertical bars (almost like multiple exposure times) when i've forced the flash on when it wasn't really needed.
Also being driven insane by this problem.
im having the same problem with my s3. Did you fix it?
any solutions?
mine is exactly the same. has anybody found the solution? would be glad to know. thanks
My Xperia Go has recently developed a strange issue that I'm trying to figure out how to fix.
Periodically the screen will not turn on. When pressing the power button nothing happens except the Home, Menu and Back buttons flash for a split second. It can stay like this for hours and then start working again. I have tried performing hard resets when the issue happens. The phone vibrates like you would expect, but the screen still stays off.
Has anyone else seen this issue and know if it is a software issue or hardware?

Happened to me more than once flashing all kind of strange ROMs and apps, and messing with my phone.
Backup your phone and do factory data reest and see if the problem persists.
It could be hardware related but more likely it's just software.

Had a go at this at the weekend. Did a full backup and a full restore using Sony PC Companion. The phone worked perfectly until last night then it displayed the same problem.
Possibly unrelated, but I did notice that after the restore none of the photo thumbnails are showing in the Album app even though the pics are there. You can tap in the empty space in the app and pics will load. Secondly, it restored my Outlook.com account, but not the entry for it under Accounts in the Settings menu. Consequently I can't cange any settings for that account. So I've managed to introduce another couple of issues for my trouble!
I'm leaning to this more being a hardware fault now, unless anyone else can suggest otherwise?

If flash fixed it, it can't be hardware. Any new apps/mods installed?
Restore only the assentials (contacts/call log) the rest set manually and see how it goes.
Take a logcat next time it happen maybe you'll see something there.
I have same problem on sola and reflashing roms really helped me toi, but only for 1 day. I guess it's digitizer issue.
Hello All!
I'm quite new to this forum and not sure if anyone else had this problem before, but I think it's worth a thread anyway. I always solved my android problems on my own, though I haven't got the slightest of clues of what's going on with my phone right now.
So the problem is what's the title of the thread. Whenever I take a picture with the camera with flash enabled, the phone shuts down or freezes. Not sure which, because the screen goes black immediately after taking the picture, and it will not come back by touching the screen or pushing the power button or pushing it for a long time to switch it on or restart it. The phone only comes back to life if I remove the battery and put it back.
Some testing I did so far:
- The flash is working on it's own, it doesn't cause any problem. I tried it with a flashlight app.
- the camera works well without flash enabled, no shut down/freeze there.
- tried 2 camera apps, Camera Zoom FX, and the stock camera app for Samsung S3. Both caused the shut down / freeze thing with flash enabled when I took the picture, and both worked well without flash enabled.
- The only modification I did recently is replacing the battery, which works pretty well without any issues or strange behaviour.
Some other info's that might be needed:
Model : GT-I9300
The phone is rooted.
Android version : 4.3 - Stock (no modification, not flashed, no cyanogenmod)
Any suggestions?
Hello and welcome on XDA,
I would like to know which battery you are using.
After that I would suggest you doing a factory reset.
Kind regards

Camera drivers have probably borked.. It has happened to my old s3 a while ago.
Backup, reset, flash stock twice and go from there. It's the only real fix that i know of.
Beamed in by telepathy.
Model Number: MT2L03
Build: MT2-L03C00B322
Android version: 5.1
EMUI 3.1
Not rooted.
Not sure exactly what the issue is. I think it needs a new battery. Because when it gets down to 10% left it will randomly go down to 2% all of the sudden, then I will get that message saying "phone powering off" then the phone is difficult to ever get back on... which is why I try to never let the battery go completely dead.
Anyways the other night it went completely dead..... I charged it for forever it seemed, I noticed it was a little warmer than usual.
I ignored it and left it plugged in.
The next day I took it apart (I have taken it apart before, and put it back together with everything working fine)
Reason I've taken it apart in the past is because I had to replace the lcd screen because the other one got sat on and it shattered.
So I have an originally white phone with a black lcd screen....
Anyways I took the phone apart again, looked at the battery to make sure it wasn't bloated or warm anymore. It was fine.
I turned it back on and I noticed when I open the stock camera app it kept saying "can't connect to camera" or something similar.
So I took it apart again, unplugged the camera and plugged it back in, tried rebooting the phone, and when I opened camera again the phone then rebooted itself a few times.
Now instead of getting the message of "unable to connect to camera" it's as if the phone doesn't see the rear camera at all anymore.
The flash for the rear camera doesn't work anymore either.
I got it to turn on for a while, when it couldn't connect to the rear camera, but then it didn't want to turn off, then the phone rebooted itself, and now I can't get the rear camera or the flash to work.
The front camera works fine. But as for the rear camera there are no options to switch to it like there used to be.
On the top of the camera app there used to be a sort of "refresh" icon that would switch between the two cameras, that's gone though.
I also tried downloading apps that tell you about android hardware... and they say for secondary camera something like "not detected"
I made sure though.... the rear camera is plugged in all the way.
I even tried the backup and reset thing....
I don't know how to boot this model of phone into safe mode. I tried holding the power button, but I'm not sure if you hold the physical button, or long press the power icon on the screen???
I opened the camera app and went to settings and restored defaults.
I also tried opening app info for camera and clicking clear data. Neither helped.
How do I get android to see that there is a camera there?
Would downgrading the phone to the original build it was on help?
I think it was originally android 4.3.
Edit: So my main questions are... how do I boot into safe mode?
Would rooting it and clearing the dalvik cache work maybe? Isn't that what causes android to say "optimizing app X of X" when booting up?
How do I root this phone? After I root it would there be anything I can do to troubleshoot the rear camera or flash?
It just seems weird to me that one minute it says it can't connect, but the flash was working. Then the phone rebooted itself, and now it doesn't even seem to realize that there is a rear camera plugged in. And now the flash for camera isn't working either. Even did a backup and reset.
Hello,
I have been using Honor 10 for a month almost.. When I'm taking pictures with AI turned on, sometimes phone won't take pictures anymore, you simply tap to take a picture but nothing happends, flashlight also automatically turns off and you can't turn it on.. After, when you turn off AI and turn it on again, you can take pictures and turn on flashlight again.. I tried to update software, rebooting, but I have experienced this problem again.. About cutting, I have problem on IG for example. When I watch stories, edges being cut off.. I tried bringing back navigation dock but same problem.. Have anyone experienced this problems too?

I have the same problem... It was like its not responding, what I do is that I select another mode. (video/aperture) then back to photo mode with AI and it works again... it is annoying specially if you want to capture that particular moment.... also it heats up the back side near the rear lens when using AI for longer periods of time. Hope it can be fix on Android Pie update...
It happens to me as well but if I keep pressed the button longer it takes the photos (too many ?) but at least you don't lose the moment . I hope it will be fixed on pie ?
Issues fix in EMUI 9. But heat builds so fast using AI photography.
I have exactly the same issue over three months now. I thought I was the only one but I found that many others have this issue too. Does HONOR know about this issue on the device? I hope so because it is very annoying after taking two pictures with the ai feature on, I press the button to take a photo a nothing happens I have to manually disable ai or to switch from video to camera again for another two camera shots. I contacted honor support they said to do factory reset, clean cache reinstall apps relogin to my Google account nothing has fixed this damn issue. Waiting for emui 9 if the update doesn't fix it I will sell my phone cause it's very frustrating
