5.1.1 update causing front camera problems? - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
i updated a few days ago to 5.1.1 on my S6 Edge (925F) 64GB and just as i accidentially started the front facing camera,
i realised some strange blue dots on the screen. See the picture pls. Can anyone confirm these with 5.1.1 update?
I'm quite sure i didnt had these problems on 5.0.1. Is this a camera bug or is it just broke?
Did chainfire-autoroot so no warranty for me....

5.0.2 you meant.. actually on my s6 g920f, dont have this..

Same here noticed this after 5.1.1 update. I'm 99% sure that on 5.0.2 I didn't have this dots. They are clearly visible in low light condition.

Man i'm really happy i'm not the only one. So chances are quite good this might be a software issue and i can be fixed....
Anyway, i also recognised, the blue dots only appear on very bad light conditions.

Does your Screen also have a yellowish/brownish tint on the left side of the screen.

Last week monday I got my Galaxy SII. Fantastic Device! But the screen had an ugly yellowish/brownish tint on the left side of the screen so I decided to send it back and ask for a return unit.
Yesterday I finally got it, only to realize that it also has the yellowish tint on the left side, especially on low brightness levels but you can still notice it on the highest brightness level ( the seal of the box was closed so I'm sure ist was a new one).
I don't think I can live with the screen. So I'will probably have to return it again.
So my question is, does your phone also have this Problem?
Or do think the shop I ordered from recieved a faulty batch?
Lol!! Most of the s2 models have this problem, flash some latest rom and your problem will be gone.
Considering you as a newbie, search before posting next time, this problem has been discussed so many times, and even a separate thread is running for that.

Search before u post
Sorry for creating a new thread, I normally use the search function but I was writing from my phone and the battery was dying.
I'm on the newest firmware KK5 (2.3.6) and the Problem is still there, though not as bad as in version 2.3.3 that the device shipped with.
Can you name a firmware that doesn't have this Problem?
On a different note: how can a device that has been out for more than 6 month still have problems like this? :mad

Mine have this problem. Sure it's a software related problem? (I can't find the related posts)

[Q] camera issue purple fringe

Hello XDA Developers,
I would like to know how to get the purple fringe issue fixed for my xperia neo v
i mean to say that when i take pictures in night with flash on i get the purple fringe on my screen which is also visible in the picture, kindly help me in this issue
Regards.
Turn Autofocus -off!
Autofocus, when trying to focus- focus it-s own 'glass" from camera and you see that "ghost"...
Purple fring problem Solved
Dear nitin19288,
Purple fringe comes because of leackage of flashlight into the back cover . Put a piece of black paper or something else between camera and flash then close the back cover. Then bingo... Problem has gone... I have tried it. You also try it and tell me if it solved your problem. Sorry for poor english.
Well f..k that if you have to do your own hardware modification...IT is A HARDWARE MISSTAKE of camera and it HAS to be removed or changed...Go to your service and INSSIST them to solve a problem....
Wright now, today, I went back my neo-v because of this problem...They said "it;s probably a software problem", bat I told them not to lose time on flashing etc, it's a hardware, feleric camera!!!
They said if it's hardware, they will replace just camera lens, not all phone...Will see what they could do next week...and how much will I have to wait...
And definitely if they replace it with good working one - PHONE GOES TO MARKET...And bying newone, NEO with 8mp witch as I see dont have any problems...
Hi,
I've seen those purple shodows too. I'm on neo v. Just take of backcover and clean lens, worked for me.
Will try this blck-piece-of-paper workaround.
Thnx and greets

Does anybody known how to fix the pink spot issue?
yES! Take it to the service where you bought it...We gave a lot of money for this telephone, so dont be silent, fight 4 your money...u dont need feleric phone, take it back...
well I don't think that this is a hardware problem becuse I have it too BUT only on roms based on FXP sources on stock roms I just don't have that problem so I would say that this is software problem
Mine is STOCK rom, bootloader locked,,,everything STOCK, just rooted and thats all...And I have this problem from bying...
EDIT- Today I contact service and they said that is a hardware problem, and new camera modul comes this week, maximaly in monday...
Hello again...Service center FINALLY solve this problem.It is a feleric LED FLASH, not camera module...They changed several times just camera and problem still exixted...And then they change a part of board with LED diode for flash and that was a problem...
So everyone, if U have warrinty, go to your service center and solve it
Facing same problem..will try that back cover thing..
Can't get it...a feleric led flash..haha..its a diod and like a bulb..how can it be feleric..it either is giving u bright light or not or even deemed light but feleric..haha..good joke.

I faced this issue when i bought it from Store, the next day i went to store and told about the problem. They said its a hardware problem and they gave me a new neo V!! In the new one, i dont have that problem.

[Q] Galaxy S3 Front Cam Issue

Hi guys,
I'm not usually using my front camera, but today i realized it has a big green-pink pixelated stripe.
What do you think about that? It might be a hardware of software/firmware issue?
What should i do?
Thanks!
I attached some photos taken with the camera and the stripe doesn't appear when it's too dark or bright..

Have you power cycled the phone? You gave us only a little information.
Z.
I forgot to mention that i tried few android versions for my phone (it came with 4.0.4, i flashed 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and then returned to 4.1.1). I'm currently on 4.1.1 i9300xxdlib. The phone was resetted even to factory settings..
did it show up on the other versions? try putting CM on it or something and see if it shows up then, or try a different camera app from the play store
I don't remember having this issue on 4.0.4 version since i didnt use the front camera then.
Yes, the issue persists in other apps too.
I am trying to flash 4.0.4 now and see what happens. Does the root have something to do with this? 3
Hardware problem. You dropped the phone? The camera lens might moved from its original position and it's giving refracted beams in the sensor. You might claim your warranty.

[Q] Flex and ghost/phantom touches

I just bought a SGP311 (US Wifi 32G). When researching what tablet to buy, I did see some reference to phantom screen touches when flexing the screen, but I think the video said it was cleared up by firmware updates.
Mine is running .370, which I understand to be the newest available for the SGP311 (25 Aug 2013).
I find the phantom touches so sensitive and terrible that I can't believe there is not more stink about this on the internet. For example, if I'm holding the tablet with two hands and reach away with one hand, the resulting pressure from holding the tablet with the other hand causes touches all over the screen, wreaking havoc on whatever I'm doing. It even happens if I push "too hard" e.g. when playing a game excitedly.
Do I have a particularly bad unit for this? Is there a way to fix or mitigate this?
As it is, I don't think I can keep it - it's just too frustrating to use. If I hold it lightly and with two hands it's fine, but anything else - there's a high probability of touches all over the screen, especially in the Back button area
Mine doesn't do it. Or I'm not holding it "incorrectly"
Can you link to/upload a video showing this behaviour? You may want to turn on developer options->show touches to get an idea of what touches the device sees.
I have the same problem as the original poster...
Bought mine today and was messing around with it. Then I noticed the tablet 'doing stuff on its own'. After a quick test I realised I could reproduce the error by holding it in landscape and twisting it slightly. This resulted in either the back button being activated (lower left corner activated / pushed) or the settings notification area popping up (lower right corner activated).
So I guess they should have used a stiffer material as the back cover. But then again it seems almost inconceivable that the testers wouldn't have encountered this issue, if it was universal... so I'm guessing that our units are faulty - sonofabitch!
At the same time its my very unqualified guess that it isn't something which can be fixed by new firmware.
Edit: Just thought of something ... perhaps thats why the UI of the new firmware has changed? No more 'buttons' in the lower corners (as far as Im aware).

I had these same issues with mine when i got it but the update did actually fix mine so its possible that, if you are on the 370 update, that yours is extra sensitive. I have done quite a few flex tests to try to make it happen again and just can't get it to repeat after the update.
I would contact either the place you bought it from if it is within the return/exchange policy or Sony and exchange it.

Im using 10.1.C.0.370 - tablet came with that installed.
For once I actually bought electronics in a physical store (5mins walk away) so I'll go there and get them to replace it - and also test their demo model.
The demo model had the same issues. It also seems the issue is quite widespread judging by the Xperia tablet Z support forum.
The same happens un my LTE 16Gb .244 black versión...
It happens ramdomly, above allí while attached to Power stock charger, but not always...
If Sony doesn't want us to unlock bootloaders and install other ROMs tan stock, why they release such a crappy firmware?
It also happens in my c6603 sometimes un the same conditions as my Tablet, so i think is firmware related
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
So that's what's happening
I am having the exact same issue, in fact I didn't realize it was the flexing that was causing the issue until I read this thread. Now I can reproduce it consistently. I am so bummed, I LOVE this tablet, Sony has a lot of great stuff they put into this tablet and the form factor is amazing. I am pretty disappointed though because this makes it pretty hard to use. I checked and I am running the latest firmware. For what they charge for this thing you would think it would be a better piece of hardware. Back to Best Buy I go I supposed.

Mine is doing it right now! And I'm not even holding it, it's Sat in its dock. Mostly on the right hand side of the screen and bottom right corner (in landscape mode)..kk
That capital S of sat, and the ..kk above was done by these ghost touches.

Oh, by the way, mine is on the UK generic feature 244 which I flashed with flashtool, I would go back to the original t-mobile 're, but the ftf I made before I flashed th 244 doesn't work. I would be most grateful if anyone here has a tab with the original t-mobile fw, and could make an ftf of it!

Which version of the fw are you guys using?
Sent from my SGP321 using Tapatalk 4
Spanish unbranded FW... Seems that the problem concentrates on navigation bar, but not only... I have the visible touches enabled on developer section of settings, and can see the ghosts...
Seems that i have to unlock my bootloader and flash CM10.1 or 10.2, and see if they exists as well...
BTW: Sometimes happens on lockscreen

Has anyone tried the 4.2.2 ota for the sgp311? (10.31.C.0.136)
Sent from my SGP311 using Tapatalk 4
Its really noticeable on 4.1.2 and 4.2.2?
It seems to be main reason to not buy this. ;/
My brand new Tablet Z running 4.2.2 is acting out aswell. When in portrait mode, it seems obsessed with ghost tapping home or return...
Edit: Turned screen "logging" on. Dammit, the screen goes haywire at just the tiniest bit of flexing - even when NOT flexing... Sigh.
I've gone back to the correct fw for mine and it's settled down a bit, it still does it now and then, but nowhere near as much as it used to.
Sent from my C5303 using Tapatalk 4
I got my XTZ and it works just great! No ghost /phantom touches at all using stock 4.1.2 even when i move harder the tablet. I think everyone who experienced this should replace tablet with new.
Confirmed.
It happens when i flex he tablet.
Justtry it and enjoy LOL

I don't think you're supposed to flex your tablet during use... :good:

True
Actually got my Tablet Z replaced at the Sony dealer, no questions asked. (Kudos for service!) For some reason the new tablet seems to be doing much better than the "old" one.
I got 5 of these in for our staff - 2 of them have the same issue.
Phantom button pressing happens when not even touching them! Going to try and swap these over..
Running 4.2.2 on black LTE version in Australia.

twitter edge lightning not working help

Anyone else facing this problem? I have everything enabled properly and yet, somehow, isn't working. ?
I set up TweetCaster for edge lighting and I don't believe it works for that either. I'm batting less than. 500 for edge lighting working w my apps.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S9+ using Tapatalk
It's really weird issue. ?
I set it for Tapatalk too and pretty sure that doesn't light either. I think WhatsApp and Messaging are all that works, not even 100% sure it works for messaging all the time either. Don't think Gmail lights. Edge lighting has always been faulty since I've known about it.

I've continued to mess around with various notification settings and I did get TweetCaster to work but not while screen is off. When I figure out what I did I'll circle back and post it.
