[Q] Galaxy S4 - reboot launching camera from lockscreen - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a weird 'bug' that has been occurring randomly. When I launch the camera using the locksreen widget. App start, camera shows no image and bam, reboot. After they reboot, doing the same thing doesn't cause a reboot. Weird. Anyone else have this 'bug:?

From the other tread by samir_a
Well it happens after the phone restarts it should work not something you should worry about since the processor is completely new there will be lots of bugs you just need to live it for few months before they are sorted out

I see this about 50% of the time I launch the camera from the the home screen. I haven't seen it yet when I launch the camera from the lock screen.

I also have this problem after the update whenever I launch the camera not only from the lock screen.

Happening here too, works after reboot though. Think its got something to do with device heat? Cause the other day the cam app force closed cause device was too hot -_-

I am facing this problem but not just open from the lock screen. It happens even when I open other camera app.
And the camera start up time is way too slow compared to my previous Android phones.

auto reboot

Agreed ! Mine is the same... When I launch the camera in whatsapp, it will 100% reboot !

A lot of people got this problem I got it too on my gt-i9500

Go to developer options and change "limit background processes" to 4. It should work.

my s4 (i9500) has rebooted couple of times whenever I open camera app. (running latest firmware)

I'm also experiencing the same problems, also, sometimes when i tap the take picture button it won't take a picture regardless of how many times I tap the button.

Lets hope update comes soon too fix this .. its getting anoying

Thank god I'm not alone on this. I thought I had a bad unit. And yeah, on mine too it started after the update. It was fine before. It's less frequent now as I wake the phone, launch something else before going to the camera. Avoids an unnecessary reboot. But the camera launch lag is bad. Launching the camera on my S3 was much, much faster.

have the same issue..

This actually worked for me, I haven't experienced any restarts since I limited the background processes. Launching the camera is still laggy though.

Remember if you reboot, the developer options changes to standard. So make sure it's on 4 processers and see if it restars again..

Waiting time for screen on.

I have tried kj4, kka and sheep rom. All have the annoying long wait after pressing power button intil the screen is lit up. Also tried different CPU governors without result. What is the problem here? And can it be solved?
Is it just me, or do others experience this as a prob?

I've got the same rom, but I don't see the problem you described.... try to reinstall the rom.
ps: you should post this under the thread of your rom, without creating a new one
You may have a defective device.

mine is like 2seconds after the bootanimations and stops at samsung logo..fast enough for me
I have the same problem with my note. I just got mine yesterday. No clue as to what's causing it. I updated my firmware to the latest but left the old kernel so i could keep root access. Had the same problem with both the new and the old firmware.

Just to clarify the issue here:
When the phone is on but screen has been off for a while, the time between pushing pwr button and until the screen lights up is about 1 second, it may not sound much but it just enough to make one press the button once again. Not what i am used to on my previous androids from HTC.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
Same here. KJ4, stock KKA and sheep KKA. It is annoying indeed...
Probably a user experience thing, you guys who claim to NOT have the issue:
Can you lock the screen and wait for like 10 mins and then on the screen again and time the delay from button press to screen light-up?

Where do you come frome? I mean are u used to Samsung devices or something else?
I am judging this by my 2 previous HTC's whith all kinds of different Roms where I have never seen this.
My thought is that it is on all notes but some people does not see it as a problem but you and me do.

I am having the same issue. Takes 1-2 seconds until the device is fully powered up from standby...
I think I figured out the issue. I disabled weather on the lock screen and now my phone comes straight on. Maybe everyone with the issue can try that and see if it works for them?
Confirmed, getting rid of the weather on the lock screen gets rid of the lag
I'm having the same prob. I'll try removing the weather app and see if that helps.
Great no I cant remember how to remove it. help

nope mine is snap on... did u try turning off display animations? if not try it
This was there even on the s2..
yea, mines also has the same 1-2 sec delay. no weather on lock screen. found it odd, cause i've only had HTC phones so far, and never saw this.
Samsung don't use early_resume in the kernel, that Seems To be more qualcomm Related code.
It's that Code that gives you instant screen resume on the HTC devices et al.
I found this a niggle on the note as well, but have got Used to it,especially compared to amount of work it would take to fix it.

[Q] Keyboard bug?

Hello every one. This bug has been present since my phone did its first boot. Apparently, when my keyboard retracts or disappears after I'm done typing, it leaves a big white block behind it for a few seconds. You can try using the Facebook app. Search up a name, but don't click on any one. Then hit the back/down key. (Software buttons). If you guys don't have any problems, what are your suggestions? I tried asking this on the "help" thread, but no one would answer me. Thanks!
Bump! Am I the only one with this!!?
It looks like this....
I have honestly never seen this

Yea I get that, lasts for maybe half a second for me. How long is yours? I don't think I'd be able to take a screenshot of mine its too fast.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Mine lasts for 3 seconds at the most took me a while to finally take a picture of that white block lol.I just got lucky perhaps. Its odd this happens though.
Try updating to 4.2.2 if u haven't already? Or try a keyboard from the market and see if its still present on that?

Yup! already had the OTA update. Its still present. I also tried swiftkey 3. It didint fix it. I may have to end the keyboard process to reset it, but apperently I cant because its in use in the backround .
DO you think I just have to live with it then ?

Camera not working?

So I have had this phone for 5 days now. Everything has been fine but today the camera has randomly stopped working.
When I load the camera app it just shows a black screen with all the usual camera logos.
I have tried accessing the camera from facebook app and its the same. I have also tried from snapchat and in snapchat the front camera works but when I switch to back the app almost locks up.
I have tried restarting the phone several times. I have force closed the camera apk and wiped the cache.
Does this sound like a hardware fault?

Sounds like it, yes. If you are getting no picture from the camera with multiple apps, it must be a hardware fault. Instead of trying to fix the problem yourself, just return the phone under warranty and let Samsung fix it. I'll assume you're still stock? You didn't specify this.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Yes it is still stock.
I phoned up phones4u coz thats where I got the phone from. I have insurance with them so if the phone is ever faulty I get a brand new sealed unit instead of it being repaired.
They advised me first to try a factory reset incase there is a corrupt driver. If not I take it back this afternoon and they will give me a brand new one

Two issues that are honestly quite annoying

Firstly I love my Note 3 and if not for these issues it would be a 10/10.
My first issue is that occasionally the phone will freeze up for a few seconds regardless of the app I'm in and will tell me essentially that Samsung Watchon has forceclosed. Happens all the time and I have no idea why.
Secondly when in a call if I put it on speakerphone and leave the phone app to perform other tasks while on the phone the proximity sensor still acts as if it is not on speaker. The screen shuts off if i try to slide down the status bar or something which is quite irritating.
If you guys have any idea what could cause this or how to fix it it would be much appreciated. Gratzi :laugh:
I have that force close of watchon also

My watchon did that right at first, but after setting it up, it hasn't crashed since.

An update????? Nooooooooo! I hope not cause I have my phone just perfect. It is running smoothly and so far the call quality is decent enough for me. I use bluetooth most of the time or my gear.

Well that blows haha. Cmon samsung I expected perfection at that price. Anyways is anyone else experiencing the proximity sensor doing that? It's only once I leave the phone app it starts interfering.

#1 i just setup WatchOn and it stopped because i was having this issue as well. no other apps are causing me issues
#2 i have same problem and its the same with my S4 and also my RAZR HD
as far as an update coming i have frozen SDM.apk and will definitely not be taking any updates until it looks safe for root and possible unlock. i saw a lot of people take the S4 update shortly after release and they were not happy campers
Not only is watchon a buggy POS, it runs in the BG all the time.
That was one of the first things I disabled.
WatchON is kind of useful, I think. I used to get the FC warnings a lot at the beginning, but after running the app and setting it up and adding my TV to the remote devices, I haven't had a problem since.
I had problems with watchON crashing when I opened news stand. But I've since turned it off.
As for the speaker phone I've never had that problem.

1.WatchOn pop up errors stopped after it was set up.
2. You can turn off the proximity sensor during calls if you want in the call settings menu.

My LED Flash bulb went out...

Disappointed in the quality. I'm 90% sure it's physically out, but let's see if there's any way to troubleshoot.
Basically, was working fine initially, but it is not something I often use camera/camera flash. I found a thread about the hidden "torchlight" setting so that holding up on the volume when the screen is off turns on the light of X amount of seconds. It was working fine, but then yesterday I saw that it wasn't working.
I didn't think much of it, maybe some app I downloaded caused a conflict. But I just tried it with the camera flash and other flashlight apps and I get no light at all.
Any suggestions? Or am I going to have to deal with VZW.
Had the same problem. Camera flash and flashlight app stopped working. Tried different apps no help. Rebooted the phone and all is working now. Mine is still stock, not rooted

That did it, thanks. Still wonder why this happened though
Idk but don't get me wrong I came from a Note2 to the Note 3 and I absolutely love this phone but there's quite a few little bugs I've noticed. We definitely need a software update! Idk if u guys experienced it yet but a few times now I had all my apps that were in folders I made just get completely thrown out of them. At first I thought it was just with 3rd party launchers but then it happened once with TW too. I am not rooted either.

I believe there has been a small software update to the Canadian and European note 3's. We should get that soon enough. Overall though a great phone
