camera and camcorder was working fine until yesterday...when opening the camera or comcorder the view on screen is upside down. it can take pics but i would need to rotate them.
called T-mobile tech support and they told me they never heard of this issue and asked me to do a factory reset which i did, but i still have the problem. can anyone suggest a fix? does this sounds like a confirmed hardware issue as the reset didnt fix the problem?
P.S. I am running the orginal Andriod 2.1 that came with the phone (not rooted)
thanks
Ash
Maybe you simply turned off the sensor? check under settings - sound n' display
thanks for your response but in Android 2.1 i cant find no such thing,
Mine is 2.1 too, but german. If the marked selection is unchecked, rotation for pictures shouldn't work.

yes i did try that and the camera is still upside down
Well...shake it?
Seriously, if nothing works, try to wipe it or flash new rom. That fixes most of the problems.
i did shake it... i tried all of that thanks. this is very odd
as I stated i did wipe it. and its still upside down
When youre using the browser, are the pages upside-down as well?
no everything else works fine, only the camera and the camcorder is upside down
A friend of mine have this issue too and someone told him it's a problem with then autofocus module.
You think it's possible?
hi
who was that someone that told him?
when I 1st reported this issue , no one heard of it. not even T-mobile or Motorola. but today it seems I am hearing more and more people with this problem. i dont think there is software fix. it would have to be replaced. what a pain
I don't know precisely ... I think it is a technician in a shop.
Tried other camera apps??
Swyped from my DroidDefy using xda Premium app
Yes, but it's always upside down...
Yesterday my Defy started to do the same weird ****.
After some googling I found:
Open a Terminal App on the phone and type this: (you must have root)
Code:
su
rm /data/misc/akmd* /data/misc/rild*
reboot
Now reboot.
What that does is rebuild a proper accelerometer settings file.

This solution was not really for the defy (but for the backflip), but I found out other people have the same problem, not only with the defy. Most of the time they run Android 2.1. So do I, dutch version and not rooted.
Anyone an idea?

If you have already done a factory reset and it didn't work then this code won't work as well. You may try flashing a 2.2 Rom and if the problem still occurs then you should send it to repair. Have it ever worked correctly?

I have not yet performed a factory reset. I still need to google how to perfotm it.
Everything worked perfectly up until yesterday.
edit: flashed it to 2.2 and still not working. Getting desperate
Have you wiped after flashing 2.2 rom?
Yup, but it had no effect. Guess ill need to send it over.

all you see are test apps and cannot find anything,not even your paid apps am i right ?
Yea.
I had this before and it fixed itself after 1-2 days.... its a waiting game.

Same issue here, on both mine and my wifes tab, started about 2-3am tonight. In my case it was caused by having a broken IMEI (so I can use a regular sim card for phone+data with tmo)
steps to resolve went like this
-unbreak IMEI by restoring EFS information
-delete vending.apk from /system/app/ as found in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878291
-Complete reflash of the device to Roto_v4
Still trying to find a solution that will let me keep my voice+data and still access market but its time for bed, will check back tommorow

If this is the only solution then i will leave it as is, i too have the broken IMEI and i can have voice+edge with my Vibrant, and i do not feel like loosing it so i'll just have to deal with it for now.
ok i think either market is started to work properly on its own or i may have fixed it but all i did was re-flash JME v4 and so far it seems to work, but sure was a pain in the you know what.......
you guys can save yourself the reflash trouble. this is what worked for me.

Hi guys,
My Galaxy S4 (i9500) was working properly on Android 4.3 official, then I flash the Indian 4.4.2 (Oficial) and now every sensor and the front facing camera stopped working. All sensors are listes on CPU-Z, but none of them show any activity.. I've flash 2 custom ROMs trying to fix it but no luck after all.
Someone have a clue on what can I do to fix it?

Long story bro, summing it, I just bought this phone used for a real small value, the person who sold me said that this was what happened, he flashed the Indian ROM and things stopped working. When he flashed it there was no oficial Brazilian ROM, thats why he flashed the Indian one. I'm at work and can't flash a original ROM right now since it requires PC connection and I can't connect it at company's PCs. So I wanted to make sure it's really a software problem not hardware, what do you think? All sensors show up at CPU-Z, they're just not working.

Well since I paid a real low price for that, would still worth it even if all these sensors are broken, but since they are reconized by the apps, I think they're working, just need to "configure" them. I'll try flashing this ROM when I get to home, bad thing I still have 12 longs hours before it hehe
But thank you anyways, I'll try that at home and let you know.
I have a Note 3 N9005 which was working perfectly fine until fews days back it's display started showing this pattern (as shown in photo). It gets normal, once I restart the phone.
So guys I want to know whether it is a hardware issue or is it some problem with my ROM?
PS. Im running it on official Lollipop ROM flashed using Odin, but not updated OTA.

That doesn't look good at all mate. Seems like something wrong with the panel, hardware, yes. Because no ROM is out there which could create a mess like that. But I would be more than happy to be wrong.

You may have some corrupted system files.
- Please factory reset your phone (through android settings), flash ROM again (KSA or NEE lollipops are fine), reset your phone again, this time in recovery.
- If again doesn't work, remove battery from your phone, keep pressing your power button, and leave it without battery for a few hours.
Place your battery back in and hope for the best.
- You may also consider also that your battery may be defective.
- If nothing solved your problem, try reverting back to KitKat.
If after all these options, nothing solved your problem, that it's very likely to be hardware related.

I have the exact same issue, initially it was just a few lines not the complete screen, but now its exactly the same case as of your's. I am sure its a hardware issue, i have tried everything format, stock, reset knox etc. nothing worked. it started after a few "very humid" rainy days, so i guess it is due to humidity, i am thinking of a screen replacement.
what have you done till now?
I just took the phone to a local repair shop. The guy replaced the main board and it just worked perfectly.
The problem was basically with the board and not with the screen or ribbon.
I was offered repair of the current board for 40$ and replacement of the board for 100$.

Don't make a thread if you already fixed your issue! Unless you had something important to share with other users, this is pointless.

well you've formatted your whole phone and on complete stock then nothing else you can do. send it in for warranty if not try a custom ROM to fix it.

Use the official method to flash factory image of 7.1.1. That is: use the flash-all script with a recent Google SDK.
My S7 is completely new and was sent to me a couple of days ago. But after some usage, the phone turned off its WIFI/WLAN.
I thought it just was the phone going a bit crazy but after I wanted to turn my WIFI back on It wouldn't turn on.
But now without any Internet connection, I cannot install the latest updates that may have fixed it.
I also searched on google after a possible answer to my problem, but all I found is stuff that even a 12-year-old knows.
So now I am trying my luck here.
But I tried some off them including a Hard Reset, wiping the cache partition, etc.
None of the above worked for me.
Wiping the cache partition temporarily helped, as I was able to connect to a WIFI signal.
But it sadly ceased to work again.
So, I will send some Screenshots and that's it.
I hope you could help me or even other people that have this problem!

Yes, I have the latest Oreo installed.
The WiFi normally works fine and I have managed to even get it working for a whole day, but after I restarted my phone it wasn't working.
I think I can get it taken back, this is a pretty new phone since it came from the phone insurance company. I got it as a present from the previous owner after it came from the insurance company.

I hope your issue is resolved but looks like a buggy blcp. Have you tried flashing? Yes though bricking is always possible but if you follow a guide step to step it shouldn't happen. Goto sammobile, get latest firmware for your country and flash. This should solve your issue. Odin is tool made by samsung so flashing through is safe, if you follow all the steps.
