Samsung i9305 (S3) Camera failure- months without a solution - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a Samsung i9305 (S3 4G) I keep getting "Camera Failed" errors on every rom (except stock). I've tried custom roms with Stock Kernels, and various versions of Android (4.1, 4.2, 4.4, 5.0).
UPDATE: It now no longer works with the STOCK version of 4.4.
ALL give me this problem. I recall that the sound mod/engine was a cause in the past, and removing it fixed it, but now it continues.
I've tried:
Patches (such as built-in rom options)
Several different roms (support there has not helped)- Achma, rXtreme, etc
Third party camera applications
Coping my camera's IPSW to data/cfw
I can't be the only person in the world with this problem- I've been using an old phone for 10 months because of this.
Please help.

Thanks but I've tried both of these and it doesn't work. It could be irreverent, but I just noticed that my battery is damaged (isn't flat- has become 'boated').

It can be a hardware problem

I have to replace damaged camera module once. It was faulty. It costs me c.a. 40 bucks in Samsung service center (20 for part and 20 for replacing) but if you like you can buy this part on eBay and replace it yourself.
Symptoms where similar to yours. Crashing or purple screen on camera app.

I've found one, on ebay, for $14 (AUD).
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Samsung-...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item3cdfd18ce1
I may try replacing myself. I tried checking the firmware (FW)
When I dial: *#34971539# it gives me an error
When I type: *#7412365# it tells me "Connection problem or invalid MMI code".
This has happened with all versions of ROMS so far (including stock). What does this indicate? And could the broken battery be related?

I don't think is about the battery dead.It's probably a hardware issue.

Crazy- the camera somehow wasn't plugged into the mainboard (or only loosley).
Since I bought the phone- that camera has driven me mad. Working when it wants to!
Looks like it's fixed- Wow. I should have checked the hardware a long time ago

Camera focus doesn't work

Hi guys.
I know, I'm a noob. I already tried to find something about my problem but I couldn't find nothing.
I would know if it is a hardware or software problem because if it is a hardware problem and I can't solve I send my phone to the warranty, but maybe I can solve this problem with the help of someone.
The problem is the camera focus: it doesn't work.
I have attached some photos that I have took some minutes ago.
Android's version is 4.0.3 but I think that isn't a firmware problem because I had before cyanogen nightly builds and I had the same problem. The phone didn't fall to the ground.
Sorry for my bad english and thanks of all.

I have flashed the kernel Siyah just now but nothing, the problem there is still present.
I don't understand if the focus is hardware or software.
Is there something that I can do? Am I alone with this problem? Is very strange.
EDIT: when I had cyanogenmod 9+syiah on my phone I already had this problem, I forgot when it appened first time.
Autofocus -> hardware.
Its the kernel
hi, same here.
solved the issue using sylah 3.3.3 old kernel.
I suppose it's related to the newest kernels + 4.04.
using the old one seem to solve the issue .
now I reverted back to 4.03 until someone solve this. dream kernel states they did but doesn't seem to work.

I found a guy with the same problem. He said me that probably is the "mini-engine" of the focus that doesn't work.
Now my question is: how long could samsung assistance be to fix it? One month?
Because I am seriously thinking to buy the back camera and fix it myself.

Im not sure if you can find one as they are scarce.A guy on here said he seen them for $120.I only saw one supplier selling for around $60,but they had no stock.
If you send your phone to Samsung it would have to be running stock firmware and they could have it for 1-10 weeks.
I have a spare camera here.I want to keep it,but if you are desperate I could sell it to you......

Really do you have one?
I ma interested but depends by the cost. I found one, new, for about 40€.
If you can get a new one for that price then buy it.You could email Samsung and ask what theyd charge to do the job so you get an accurate price.

[Q] Automodus keeps getting activated

Since a couple of weeks automodus gets activated by itself. I keep getting this annoying popup one after another.
I tried different roms and firmwares, however, nothing worked. After a few days it shows up.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue or how to delete automodus?
Thanks in advance!

Well according to the various topics I found using search (which you should have used) its related to the USB port been dirty or faulty.
Automods Lol...
Anyways you should try cleaning the charging port with petrol and toothbrush...

Actually extra volume boost link given by you is for sony or aosp roms and for increse in volume. I have different issue. My audio/video are not running smoothly even ringtone when anyone calls me. So i would not like to try that. I have tried Google play music app. and actually right now all related apps are working fine so that also works fine. I will reply about Google music app when I get the issue again.
Okay. You said something about a sound mod so I looked for it.

yes. and same issue comes in all roms so i think it may be some hardware related issue Or some error which is not getting solved after rom changing also. As you suggested to someone in other thread "strong bootloop" to use script "to remove parts of the phone that may be can make some isues with the ROM that you are flashing" , Can i use that type of thing. If so please provide a link for i9100g.
Actually problem starts as:
I was with teamxd rom(samsung based). My memory get filled and i could not delete any file by file manager(ES). I made a factory reset and device got bootloop. Then I install the same Rom again with full wipe. After that i am with this problem in all roms.

I actually dont know what is wrong maybe is what you say error or a bug. And the i9100g I think that it uses almost exact hardware thing that i9100 has the only difference is the nfc.

You might need to change the USB flex board then. Cheap & easy. Click the link in my signature, from there you can access a guide by @keithross39, where it's explained how to DIY if you choose. Pay careful attention though, there's 4 different versions (revisions) of the board itself, you need the correct one or you'll get issues. Else, just take it to a service centre/local shop to get it replaced.

I would ordinarily say it isn't either. I don't know if it's not that. Regardless, it sounds like you need a new one anyway. Let us know how you go with the repair shop.
As far as I know, the i9100g one will not be compatible with the i9100, as the hardware is different. I don't know how to buy one for an i9100g, I would have said ebay but other than that, I'm not too sure. Sorry to not be of much help.

[Q] Problem with headphone jack

I have an issue with the headphone jack. I use third party headphones (I dont have the stock Sony ones) and when I plug them in, the sound comes out of the phone's external speaker most of the time. I get the symbol in the status bar to say 'Headset connected'. Sometimes the sound DOES come out of the headphones but seemingly randomly! Tried different headphones and applications on the phone. I have used Sony's Update Service software to download and reinstall the latest ROM but this has not fixed the problem.. My Ultra is on 4.4.2, buildd number: 14.3.A.0.757
Anyone had this issue?
Thanks!
I didnt have this issue by my c6802 and a stock headphone with rom version as you have, before i heared some peaple had this problem with other version(lower build number,i think) maybe this is of your nonstock headphone. Why didnt update to newer 14.4.a.0.108? Maybe it disapear againe.

if you feel comfortable you could flash a generic FTF so you are on the latest 4.4.4 (xxxx.108) firmware from sony. You dont have to be rooted to do this.

Yes I could do that but only worth it really if it actuall resolves the problem. I had a Z ultra last year and that one didn't have this issue. I think I will give that 4.4.4 a go this weekend - do you know if it would affect warranty at all?

It might, depending on the service centre.
Have a search about speaker/headset issues, I think it only affected 4.4.2 and that was updated quite quick and resolved the issue for most people that had the problem

happened to me after having xzu for 3 or so months - I got a new warranty replacement (had a 6802, received a new 6833 ftw)
This happened once last week when I plugged the stock earplugs in when I also received a message, and it played the audio through the external speakers. I unplugged it and plugged it again, and it was back to normal. Probably a glitch in the matrix.
I have a C6833 and this problem started a few months back with my device.
Now it happens about every time I pause the music. When I hit play or resume the audio is coming from the internal speaker so I have to unplug the cable and plug it back in and that solves the problem at least for the moment. Some days my device does what it suppose to do just great. And other periods it just sends the stream back to the internal speaker all the time whenever I pause the music.
I have flashed the latest .108 but problem still exists. It might be some error with the hardware what do I know. For now I won't take the time to send it in for service. Perhaps I will send it to repair right before my warranty expires just to make some use of it
I use the stock headphones, and some Apple just some generic Apple earphones that you receive in the box when you buy an Iphone 5 or later
I have the sbh52 and the headphones that came with that work perfectly so far. Apple earpods work some of the time and Astro A30s dont work at all. Whuch makes me think its software.

CM13 unable to send sms with two sim cards

Hi,
I am using cm13 and have two sim cards, same operator (home, office).
If used one at a time, I can send sms (smsc is correct).
If they are both inserted, they both fail.
Has anybody ever seen this?
Will try to get some logs tomorrow if I am not doing something stupid.
Unfortunately I do not have a sim card from another carrier to test right now, maybe the combination works.
Thanks!

A few interesting things:
In the sim menu, my carrier Vodafone IT is "unknown".
The smsc can be read and updated only in slot 1.
I'll be able to do some better testing later.

That is why I was wondering if anybody else has two sims on the same carrier, and if theirs appear as "unknown" as well.
I am also coming form a clean install.
I will update asap, however there is really not much more to test.
Ii is already confirmed that it works with one sim at a time in either slot, so something is wrong with the combination.

Just remembered that while flashing for some reason my clock went back to day 1, which is Jan 1 1970, and that is the date on my system folder actually!
Could this be it?
I just want to see if I can avoid a reset because the android ID changes and it is a pain for my company email.
Edit: some folders are March 20 1970.
Don't think I could have caused that (assuming it might actually be an issue).
Is it only mine like this?
I took full twrp before and after cm, I hope they are not useless if the date was screwed up.

Edit: some folders are March 20 1970.
Don't think I could have caused that (assuming it might actually be an issue).
Is it only mine like this?
I took full twrp before and after cm, I hope they are not useless if the date was screwed up.

Have you turned on automatic date and time in Settings?

Yes. It is fine now, I took a backup and it is correct.
I probably took the twrp backup straight after flashing, without booting into the ROM and updating the date.
Besides the backups, the files were written with that date in the first place.
Possibly repeating with a valid date will correct it.
I took a full backup tonight, I'll probably try restoring my stock backup (which might not be ok) and reflashing cm all over.
The whole date thing might not even be related to the issue, but it appeared odd.

The date in system files are natural. But your clock should be correct.

Just in case you know, if I want to do a full stock revert, do I have to go back to lollipop?
The hihonor site also offers B330 firmware. I am supposing that one would suffice?

No you don't need to go back to LP.
