Some people have problems with them, i however dont.
It seems like some countries are getting different quality phones, i have yet to hear a german mini pro owner complain about the hardware buttons or the touchscreen.
Indians or east-euro countries seem to be the most affected
happen to my phone..

Yep already see the post, at the moment work fine for me
Just take a look at the LG Forums. 90% of the people complaining are Malaysian / Indian / Philipinos
It really seems like some countries are getting cheaper hardware -_-

Or the buttons suffer from heat/humidity. Europe = chilly, those countries: warm and rainy season

come one maybe 1 or 2% of the phones has the problem. is your luck that bad?
My Active was activating back (or home) and menu like crazy yesterday. Every app closed really quick, and back at the home screen the menu (add, wallpaper, theme, settings) kept rapidly opening and closing. Turning the phone off and on helped, but I suppose it will come back later.
The situation: about 30-40 minutes outside in 5-6 degrees C in my jeans pocket, then 5-15 minutes inside a cafe before it started acting up. I was trying to take a picture with the stock camera app when I noticed the problem.
Seems like the mini pro doesnt have any of those probems *knocks on wood*

I bought it 3 days ago and everything worked fine. As of yesterday I opened the camera app, and the rear camera works fine but the front camera glitches out and crashes the TP. Every time I switch to the front camera it also turns on the rear rear flash as well. The glitching is like green static on the screen. Dont know what the problem can be. Does anyone have any ideas? I think Im going to have to return it but I really dont want to get nothing in return for now.
Do a system reset before returning it.

Hi, trying to find if anyone else has this problem with the YP-G1CW and whether there are any solutions? A Google search has pulled up similar problems on many other Galaxy devices but no definitive answer.
Rear camera on my device stopped working. Activating the stock camera app brings up a black screen with all the icons and settings which can all be toggled. Switching to front camera works fine.
Any other camera apps, eg: Camera 360, Facebook, all give a Force Close.
I've tried a number of suggestions from turning off GPS, reboot, to resetting to Factory settings. Nothing seems to make a difference. I'm using the standard Gingerbread ROM - the device is pretty much vanilla.
Anyone else experienced this on the SGP?

This may be off-topic but the XAC is the canadian model right? Where did you buy it and does it have a capacitive button?
Yes, it's the Canadian model - capacitive menu, home, back buttons.
Purchased in Canada... Staples were carrying them.

Ok thanks. Regarding your question did you root your device and did something wrong with it?
It's a stock unit... never been rooted, no mods made to it.
You're actually pretty close to me... I'm just over the ON/QC border.

I don't know, if it worked before and don't work now it may be either a hardware defect. Try to exchange it.
Nice where you live?
Thanks. It was working fine. I had assumed it was a software issue rather than hardware and I had installed or uninstalled an app that was causing the problem, particularly with a number of other Samsung devices seemingly having the same issue.
For info, I called Samsung and got an interesting response - the tech support guy told me they had not had a Galaxy Player with this issue before, however they have had it often with Galaxy phones, so he gave me a service ticket straight away.
The authorised service centre is in St Laurent which is only a short drive from my office so I'll be dropping it off on my way to work.
Hello everyone,
My first thread here. I wanted to get you guys feedback on a problem I'm having with autofocus on the camera of my Evo 4G LTE. It seems like more than half the time I'm trying to take a picture the autofocus is going crazy and won't focus at all and leaves me with a blurry unfocused screen and he only way to get it to focus is for me to close the camera app and reopen it. I haven't found a way to turn off continuous autofocus. I was wondering if any of you had this problem with the camera or was it just me? If so what workarounds have you tried?
I've tried clearing the camera app data but that really did nothing for me. Any suggests would be nice, thanks!
I do not have this issue. Ive had to fight with it on rare occasion but thats just when it was focusing on something far away when i was trying to get a close up shot. im sure theres a way.

That's funny.. all this time i thought i was the only one having this same problem. Closing and re-launching the app works for me as well. its a bit inconvenient, but it doesnt happen all the time.
This happened to me. Took it to sprint and they gave me a NIB.

Yea happens to me also. Even in video lots of times it will get blurry and never recover ..

Yeah it fixes by closing and reopening but there have been times when I've missed a picture because I had to close the app and reopen it.

NIB means new in box or something else?
I had the same problem with my pre order phone. Returned it to best buy and got a new one with a flickering screen. Lol when I went to best buy I told the guy I was having problems with it he said with what the non focusing camera the flickering screen or the red pictures. That's pretty bad when they already know what the problems are a couple weeks after pre orders went out. I posted a YouTube video with the focus screwing up but I can't post a link to it yet.

If will focus lock if you're holding the camera button in the focus detent. I tested this myself, stuck it close to my keyboard and let it focus, then moved to focus on my TV, and then back to my keyboard and held the button in focus for a second or two while moving back to my TV and it didn't focus when I released the button till I went and pointed it at my keyboard again, then it started focusing again, and it focused on my TV after that.
BTW, what hardware revision is your phone? Mine is 003.
My wife's release date phone had this issue. If you focus on something close it wont refocus at any other focus length. I ended up returning it for a NIB one and never saw the issue again.
No it didn't matter what you did once it locked in it wouldn't auto focus at all unless you backed out and then back in. I don't know what rev it was since it was taken back to best buy about a week after I got it. I even tried other camera apps and it did the same thing. Even the autofocus clicking sound was a substantial popping sound. It was louder than the phone I have now.

Also i Just tested the holding down the detent to hold the focus. It didn't work for me as soon as I moved it refocused.

I just tap on the screen to refocus if I have a problem (area I want in focus).
Seems like the focus works half the time, the other half it just sits there blurry and won't focus no matter if I try click on the screen somewhere or take a picture. The only way I've been getting it to focus is by reopening the camera app and sometimes even that doesn't work. I think I'm going to exchange it tomorrow.

do you have TEP? or should this be covered by the 1 year warranty?

I bought the phone on July 1st from Best Buy and it's still under the 30day warranty.
Would you guys characterize the issue like this to some extent?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710876
I went and traded in my old one today. Thankfully it went smoothly and I got one without the update! So far the autofocus on this one works perfectly. Will keep you all updated.
good luck ^
I'm considering taking mine into a Sprint store to have them look at it. I dont have TEP, I'm outside of my 30 day window, rooted, and S-Off.
I wonder if they're going to give me a hard time.
I've had my s6 edge for nearly 2 weeks now and all has been good. today, I had a coworker take pictures of me doing silly stuff at work and when i reviewed the images, I noticed that they were all upside down. then when I try to take a picture, I notice all of the wordings are all upside down. I thought the auto rotation feature was off but no, its all. long story short, after clearing the camera cache and data, and after a factory reset, the camera is stuck upside down and also, nothing will rotate at all. Just wanted to give a head up if anyone runs into this similar issues. I'm going to go into a tmobile store tomorrow as soon as they open so I can get it replaced and not have to wait a million days until they get one in stock. a little disappointing but hey, its a brand new device. No hard feelings.
Some images to show how the issue looks
Better to get a fault now than the last few days of the warranty I guess.
Damn it still looks cool broken.
I went to order one yesterday but will cost to much to break the contract not worth an extra £120 as only another 5 days till I can break it for free.
Good luck on getting a replacement

apparently its an issue thats happening to a lot of people. I went and got an exchange but afraid the same thing will happen and a software update will take forever to fix the issue
Got my s6 edge yesterday and the gyro scope isn't working and the camera buttons are locked to landscape plus it doesn't work with any other apps..there's a test you can do but not sire of the number you have to dial to get it up on screen..
