Hi all,
I got the problem that opening the camera is rebooting the device.
I tried to restore the TA-Patition with BackupTA. It went all good an I could boot, but when I open the camera, the device reboots.
Can somone help, please?
ps: I´m on kitkat SGP321_10.1.1.A.1.307_Unbranded and tried LP too...but the same happens...no matter what firmware I try.
SOLVED
Maybe its helpful to post a sollution on this.
It seems I dropped the device, I dont know exactly but I thougt maybe a cable was disconnected. I searched and read here at xda that some people had the same issue with cam and could not solve it via upgrading, downgrading..ect...the backside needs to be opend to connect the cable from camera again,
I simply punched a few times against the back and the side...and voila...camera works again.
its often that after fall cable that connects camera or power button gets loose and doesn't work, pushing hard on back on the side usually helps, but not all the time.

Hi there, I newly joined the family of Athena this week.
After reading extensively about rom flashing ( I am an universal users for 3 yrs and have quite good experience with flashing rom), i decided to try my luck with my new Athena and upgraded it to WM6. Here I go.
Everything went as smooth as ever, nothing wrong. I have used it for a few days and enjoyed my new toys.
Yesterday, suddenly, I have lost all my system sound. I can't play video with sound, no more system beeps, no more speaker phone. But, the ringer is STILL there. When people calls me, I can still get the phone but I can't talk thru the speaker phone but i can do it thru handfree whatsoever.
I have tried to play a MP3 on the Athena. The media player prompted me that there is a "the specified module could not be found".
Please help me out here.... I would love to have my perfect athena back . Thanks alot.
have your tried doing a hard reset after the actual upgrade? and have you tried doing a hard reset now?
something like this happened to me when i still had the original rom installed. no sounds but whenever plugging in the headset i could take calls. all sounds were streamed to my bt headset whenever it was bonded. several hard resets did not solve the problem.
the solution was for me to upgrade to the then newly released ak3 rom. that's solved the problem but to this day i have yet to find what caused the problem. for you, you might try doing a hard reset. if that doesn't work, you may want to consider reflashing the rom you originally loaded.
hope that helps
Even after I have flashed the official WM6 rom, the problem still persists. Anybody out there can help me to get out of this unfortunate incident?
Thanks truly truly truly lots.
At last, after reading more articles on flasing and different roms, I fond that Radio Rom is in control of all those wireless "components" of my U1000. As I thought all the system sound have been incorrectly re-routed to the bluetooth (I dunno why but just a guess wild enough). I decided to take a adacious move, FLASH a NEW RADIO ROM!
I flashed Radio 1.8 into my U1000 and BANG!!! all sounds come back and everything is back to how good they used to be !!! HURRAH!!!
Thanks for everybody who has tried to help and hope this is a method to solve somebody's problem. Thanks again
hi all,
it's easy to solve, it is a hardware issue. same happened to me: the speaker jack gets so dirt that the athena thinks it has something plugged. that's why you only hear the incoming calls, because if you plug a headphone it still keeps theincoming calls ring.
you just have to clean it very carefully with a small wooden stick and blow into it to take the dirt out. be extremely careful!
I have tried that before. but to no avail. I am not quite sure if it is a HW problem or a SW one. AFter flashing it with Radio Rom 1.8.. it works perfectly but at the end I dunno why that symptom starts again.
Is it possible that my Radio Rom is somewhat corrupted and volatile that it reverts to its "corrupted" state?
Still in need of help.. thanks
believe me, its a problem of dirty jack.... look into it ensuring you have light enough to see what's inside it...
Thanks Dan. It's a hardware problem at the end I confirmed.
I tried to clean it with Alcohol Pal but the problem persists. So I send it to my serviceman to repair it.
hi
this issue has somtimes nothing to do with drit in the jack. its a desing problem of the used headphone jack in the device. somtimes when you remove the plug one of the tiny contacts dosent swing back to it's normal position, so the device still thinks u are using the headphones. these kind of problems also happend on other htc devices like the universal. on my athena (and universal) the solution is to plug and remove the headphonejack serval times, this will normaly fix the problem.
greets mad
Take a sewing pin

He is right. Just take a sewing pin and try to press contact pins to its normal position. I solved same problem in this fashion. I hope this will help you.

Hey guys
So my 1,5yo atrix started giving me trouble about 2 months ago. After i talk on phone, i take the atrix from my ear to end the call, and the touch doesnt respond. Instead it gives erratic commands to the system, windows popping up, or just doesnt do anything. If i use power button to close screen and to open again, it works again perfectly.
First thought i had was that i had some Raindrop issues, from sweat. But it doesnt seem to be that, ive wiped it and still wont work until i push power button. Used the fix, no go. Also, i think i was sweating for 1 year before that too, right? )
Ive tried switching roms, tried few cm7, also some blur, same issue
Any thoughts what could be causing it?
Thank you very much
Aloha,
I have a Stock Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. I was sitting on my couch watching tv when my phone lit up. I thought I got a message, picked it up and it said the charger connected is not genuine and charging was stopped to protect the phone (not the exact message). It was not plugged into anything. I ignored the screen. After a few minutes the screen activated again but was completely black with the exception of a tiny "x" in the bottom left corner of the screen. A voice came on and said to connect my Gear VR and install the Gear VR app. I do not own a Gear VR and until this issue did not know what it was. There was nothing I could do to get out of the screen. I tried to restart the phone and couldn't. Finally did a hard reboot. After booting up like normal it was only a minute before it did the same thing again. It renders the phone completely useless. I booted into safe mode and uninstalled everything related to Gear VR. There were no less than 3 apps that I did not install (I am assuming Samsung pushed them to the phone). It seemed to do the trick but the next day the apps were back and it did it again. I called Verizon, they had no idea what to do. They had me wipe the phone. It worked for a day before doing it again. I called Samsung and they had never heard of the issue. I can't find a thread here of anyone else with the issue either, however there are at least 50 people on YouTube that have commented on the following video with the same issue.
Here is a video of the issue (not me but someone else with the same issue)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtdahXCetu4
Here is the deal... Samsung was unable to help. They sent me a new phone under warranty. Its been 2 weeks and now the new one is doing the same thing!!!! I don't understand how this is so persistent an issue and no one on xda has posted on it. To make things more complicated when I had the first issue I was able to go into safe mode then application manager and uninstall the apps. Now they are appearing are no longer appearing under "installed" apps, it appears with the system apps and cannot be uninstalled. I have never experienced anything like this.
So there it is, I am hoping the genius of XDA can help where Samsung has failed. Thank you in advance for all the great work you guys do!

I was able to find a work around for the problem. I am not satisfied considering Samsung has offered no solution and taken no responsibility. However, if you boot into safe mode by holding the volume down and power button at the same time you can use your phone. Then go to play store and download Package Disabler Pro. This will allow you to disable the faulty Samsung Gear VR bloatware apps without rooting. It's a $2 band-aid but the solution worked for me. It has the added bonus of getting rid of all the other bloatware they load on the phone too. NFL app, I am looking at you! There was someone who said they cleaned the usb port and that worked. It didn't work for me though. So far no help from the XDA community, what's up with that?
I already install the app... thanks for the tip... but my USB port is not responding.... no charging, some times show me power sharing USB mode on... no OTG working... do you have and a idea of how to clean it?

Use isopropyl alcohol to clean your electronics. Typically a q-tip works fine but it will not get into the port so you need to find something that will get in there. You might be able to use a cloth dipped in the alcohol and something narrow like the blunt end of a needle to work it in the port. Don't go too crazy. Rubbing the alcohol along the contacts is usually sufficient. Unless you got something corrosive on the contacts. Good luck to you.
my s6 edge was having the same problem every time i plug the cable in the micro usb port, samsug gear vr pops out and next black screen with x. additional problem 1. not able to recognize by pc 2. disconnecting while charging 3. fast charging is not working 4. sometimes it take 4 hrs to charge.
having this problem for almost a month now tried everything from hard reset , cleaning the micro usb port and i dont wanna wait for 3 months without a phone for the warranty
fortunately i was able to fix it by my self yesterday. the problem was the flat metal in the middle of the micro usb port was pushed downward (screen facing up) so i just needed to lift it up a bit by using some flat tweezers (pls be careful) and everything works fine now.. solved all the problems i mentioned above
work 100%
Hi all,
I'm currently on holiday and my phone as many of us is my carry camera, sat nav and all around organizing tool!
Used it yesterday all day with no issues , got to the car and the camera was running. No big deal except the screen had become unresponsive, nothing would work so I did a volume down/power button to force restart.
That didn't help and i'm now where I was 15 hrs ago at the pin enter screen, I cannot factory restart as it wants you to type in Yes (omg) :laugh:
I cannot back up and data (all photos on a memory card though :good: )
Tried multiple restarts, shutdowns, run it flat, charged it up, done the restarts connected to a computer, not connected.
Could I factory reset via ADB?
Use a mouse to unlock?
Different combination of button presses?
Promise to be a better man..anything!:
Any idea very welcome!!
Thank you
Rory
Anyone? , using my spare old m8 and it is hard work compared to the Mate!
Send it to service centre..

What he said )
Any other suggestions apart from returning it?
Someone must have had a similar issue (well I know they have via searching but there hasn't been any advice on the next step.
It seems more like a software fault rather than hardware (or maybe that is wishful thinking) plus sending to Huawei doesn't really help while on holiday. ?
The phone has never been dropped, always in a case, etc..
Has or is it possible to factory reset it via adb only? I guess the other way is to update it via adb?
Calling all xda gurus, I know you are out there! any ideas welcome, apart from returning it at this stage. ?
As you said you can try using and external mouse!
Quick update.
Got it working.
USB wired mouse worked perfectly, this way you can back up all data, photos/android folder etc even if the phone does not come back to life. Kind of crucial as even if you have a memory card a NM reader is not easy to pick up (quickly)
Luckily with the bunch of cables i carry with my frequent travelling I was able to go wired usb A mouse to OTG to micro usb mini to mini to C adaptor. (obviously a micro usb C mouse is not as easy to get hold of)
Now the screen coming back to life process was not so clear, it took a few factory resets and a night plugged into a laptop in the bootloader menu to respond?
All was well for the last week of the holiday (however i fear a hardware problem may be hiding or I was unlucky with a software issue), either way all was good when it was needed and I will see what progresses.
Have the same issue, did the wired mouse let you use it for “regular” things like messaging

Sorry I cannot be more helpful as I never really did figure out why.
To repeat the post from last year:

Have you got a mouse plugged into usb C to back up and perform a factory reset??
Hey everyone,
I tried popping open my phone and doing the DIY GPS fix of lifting the prongs and camera lens replacement, I think I ended up damaging something with the heat from the hair dryer... cus after I reassembled my mobile everything popped back into place but now the phone is just giving one buzz and a black screen when I press the power button.
I tried connecting the charger but no response, even the LED for charging is not lighting up. Any idea what I must've done wrong or how I can get it fixed?
thanks for the advice
Doesn't sound good. I'm not familiar with the mod you performed but doing these kinds of things are hazardous if your not careful and even if you are.
Is your devices recognized when you connect it to a computer? In MS Windows you might see something show up in device manager. I would open up the device again, disassemble / reassemble, and hope it comes back to life. This has happened to be in the past and the issue would mysteriously resolve itself.
Maybe pop out back apart and make sure all the flex cables are connected properly if not. Sorry for your loss
