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.
Hi All,
Does anyone have any idea why the speaker on my Nexus 6 becomes active when the camera app is opened ?
So the reason I ask this is because, with Android, since KitKat, I have been plagued by phones that shut-down when I take a picture if my phone is not connected to WiFi. With my LG G3 I put this down to the phone itself and changed it for the Nexus 6 and the same thing happens with that. So, I figure it has to be an app I am using. So I have reset the N6 to factory, logged in with my Google account, set it up as a new phone and taken 20 pictures without an issue. I then enabled Google Now, took one picture and the phone shuts down.
I now have it to the point where if I open the camera app the speaker comes on very faintly and you can hear the cell broadcast sound, then the phone shuts down.
This only happens with the stock camera app by the way and only when there is no WiFi.
I am struggling to think why a phone that is reset, with no apps on it, is doing this..........and this is the second N6 I have had by the way (sent the last one back about a month ago for the same reason) :crying:
Maybe me resetting the phone from the settings menu is not good enough as it knows that it was originally paired with my Google account and will not let me proceed until I have entered my details.
Any ideas greatly appreciated. Apologies if there is a better section for this post. Thanks.
Simon.

As I said in my post, it happened on my LG G3 as well so I don't see this as being an N6 issue. Thanks.
I somehow broke my Nexus 5 in my pocket today. The side buttons still work and it functions normally (gets messages, updates) but the touch screen doesn't work. I was researching possible solutions to fix it. I am wondering if anyone knows if my particular situation can be fixed. What kind of replacement package should i get if i can get one?
. I think i uploaded a picture of my broken phone.
Cheers

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy s6 Edge G925F with custom rom, i have a problem with my sensor.
I turn my auto-brightness in ON and nothing chang, it's always stay at the same level of brightness, i tested it, if it was a hardware problem with calling "*#0*#" but not, it work perfectly in that.
and for the proximity sensor, when i call someone, the screen turn automaticaly in black, same think, i tried to test hardware, it's work, when i call someone with What's App for exemple, it's work, but it's not work with phone dialer.
(Sorry for my bad english, i'm french)
Can someone help me ? I tried an other rom, same problem, other bootloader / modem, same again.
Same issue here! Don't know what the problem is. Sensor is working when being tested, but somehow system is not receiving that info. Factory reset did not help either. I am on stock everything (5.1.1).
and you have no problem with brightness in mode auto ?
Auto brightness is not working either. It is always at same output value, no matter what I do. And also navigation buttons are not lighting up anymore.
Phone is all stock. Not sure if I should try with other roms...

Oh, we have the exact same problem, I just noticed that, my softkey lighting doesn't work too.
Have you got a problem like that, you put your headset's jack into your phone, and It's not detected by your phone ? İ have that issue too, I bought a jack, dock replacement for replace this part, I will tell you what happening next.
I saw your thread, did you disassembly your s6 ? By you or other guys.
If you find any solution to this problem please report it here and I will do the same. Hope we will be able to fix it .

I just checked this, and unfortunately it's not working...not recognized by the phone . Guess it's identical problem.
I did not touch any internals...just sent this phone for repairs, but they did not fix it because they found out that someone was already open it before. Now I do not know what to do.

Okay, then, The Phone was already opened before, I will tell you if I found something for that.

Yes, as I wrote in my original thread phone had a problem with faulty battery. It was refurbished phone and seller stated that it has 2 years of manufacturer warranty, but as it turned out warranty was void because someone damaged that battery before and tried to fix it with some tape.
btw. everything else was working fine before we sent the phone for service. When they returned it all these problems started. I have ordered new battery and will replace that by my own I guess because Samsung is not responding to our messages. I guess my girlfriend will have to live with these issues if we are not able to fix them...
if you think your auto brightness is not working check out this app. If that doesn't work then your sensors are faulty/defective and contact Samsung support or your authorized reseller

As we mentioned already...every sensor checking app is reporting that senors are working just fine. I removed the battery so can't try this app right now, but will definitely check as soon as I can, thanks.
Update regarding my situation: Since everything failed to fix this device or receive our money back, I decided to open the phone and check if anything else is wrong with it (besides battery) and guess what...audio jack port was completely broken. Plugging in headphones was working before it went to official repair centre, and now I know they broke it. But still I can't do anything about it because Samsung is refusing to fix it. My best bet is to replace that part together with battery and live with other issues.
Worst service I have ever experienced...
Ok so, I will receive this replacement part (jack) this week, I hope it will fix the other problems too.
I'll tell you what happen after that.

Please do! I also ordered whole usb connector board with headphone jack on it. Let's hope it will work.
btw. I just contented old battery back and tried this app. It is working great, so sensors are fine.
Hıı, I have A good news for you, I just replaced the usb, Jack part and all is working back, proximity sensor, auto brightness control and jack.
Good luck for you ?

Same here! Just replaced and packed everything up few minutes ago. Working great!! Finally! I'm glad we managed to fix this one ...
Just dry up the edges. Try to blow the corners. It is just a little bit wet because the corners have little gaps that let water and dust in. I blow dried my phone and it fixed the problem. If you try to wipe screen with water and it gets inside the edges, problem comes back again
Ich have the same problem. But how can it be a hardware issue when the sensors are working in test module? I don't want to send it in :/
Mine was having this exact problem and was solved by an update I didn't know existed. Go to where you find your updates and download any available. Mine worked great again afterwards. If that doesn't work, Try clearing your cache partition.

I experience random shutdown in my LG G8X.
my phone shuts down automatically once in every 3 to 5 days regularly and still I cant find the issue.
I could find the similar thread in below reddit post.
G8x shutting off randomly : LGG8X (reddit.com)
is there any way to solve this issue? and how could I get this issue to LG support team?
Is there any chance you are using extended mode under battery settings? I experienced random reboots every now and then when using that mode.
@anmolkakkar Thanks for your response.
My Battery saver mode is always turned off and still I face this issue.
Are you facing the same issue now? Or how you got rid of this issue?
your quick response is more valuble for me.

I did not face this after I turned off the power saving mode.
It could be due to an app that might be having compatibility issue with the phone. Are you using the Indian version bought in Big Billion Days of Flipkart sale?
Additionally, try rebooting into safe mode to see if the issue still persists.

Nothing works. Will backup and reset
So if ur phone is having random shutdowns, do one thing, record your phone when its shutting down randomly, take that video to the nearest direct lg service center in ur city, show them this video, and they will replace your mother board with an indian variant, my friend had a similar shutdowns when he was using hotspots(vietnamese variant bought during flipkart sale), took it to service center, he got it replaced with indian motherboard, as of now his fongerprint isnt working, but they told it will be fixed in a while, so for anyone with restart issues get it to service center, and get it replaced

Thanks.. I have the same issue.
In my case, i cant record them because it happens once in 2 or 3 days. Mostly while hearing audio files...
I will try approaching LG service centre.
I uninstalled Pocket casts and Firefox web browser. Now I don't face this issue for past 3 days.
I use Firefox with following addons installed: Privacy badger, ublock origin, dark reader, YouTube high definition and video background play fix.
Posted in Firefox forum and now checking whether which addon makes problem.
I also have this problem while using Chrome background (after updated in websites not playstore)so I uninstall chrome and updated in playstore now it's fine ,no problem ( when problem occurs check which app in background uninstall it then reinstall from playstore).
try to hard reset or upgrade your firmware

The problem was due to my favorite app, pocket casts. It has some compatibility issue while running in background and makes my phone restart.
Revoke any accessibility permission you may have given to an app and then check. There seems to be a bug related to it.

Hey I purchased g8x for my mom on BBD deal, she later used it in dubai 2 months nothing happened no issues at all, but only when in india it randomly goes off switch off sometimes. Did u find any fix to this issue ? It's got nothing to do with wifi hotspot, I tried resetting the device doesn't help, looks like they sold us international variant which has issue with indian bands, please help me with any solution that worked, going to service center is my last option.Since everything else runs perfectly ,expect for this random switch off without any warning I simply don't want to take it to service center.
I found some trial and error method and it gets solved for me. Just try my idea and it will be great if it works.
I really liked the phone. It was all good except this automatic random restart and many techies said it is an App compatibility issue. So I haven't trusted service center in this case.
I tried uninstalling all 3rd party apps and tried installing one after the other in every 2 days.
I use firefox with multiple addons. I'm sure it made problem and I uninstalled Firefox.
I were using a podcast apps like Pocket casts and google podcast and found that playing podcast content made issue and uninstalled them too. Now my phone works fine.
After 2 weeks of usual activity I installed Pocket casts and fortunately I never had this issue.
I haven't received any software update too after my phone purchase. Indian BBD version G8X running Android 10. hope this helps
Its the issue with Vietnamese unit bought during flipkart BBD Sale..
even i had the same issue: random shutdown every 2 - 3 days , frequent shutdown while using hotspot, and auto turn on while charging the phone when switched off.
Visited the nearest service centre and they have replaced the PCB , Battery and display(the display had a dead pixel , and its got 6 month free replacement, so i asked them to replace that too).
Now i don't face the issue anymore.
So better try to contact the nearest service centre and get it replaced in the warranty period instead of trying the software level fixes

Hi everybody i solve this problem by installing a third party app that keep an eye on battery all the time, accu battery app. It will check battery in background and no more shut off, one month now. Have a nice life. From Tahiti (next to Bora)
