Anyone have a problem with camera flash not working? - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I keep randomly having an issue with the camera flash not working, and I've seen other similar complaints with other phones but they force stop camera and it works, mine doesn't. The only thing that works is a reboot, but I shouldn't have to do that to fix the issue. Flashlight doesn't work either at the same time btw. Anyone else worth this problem? Any fixes?

Not with the Stock Camera but I also have the Paid CameraZoomFX and the Flash doesn't fire with that unless I set it to Torch Mode. I know that they (CameraZoomFX) just issued a bug fix for the S4 Flash, so I wonder if they're going to issue one for the N3.

My brother had this same issue had to take the phone back for replacement. They replaced it with little issue at Verizon.

Maybe I'll do that. When they replace it do you get a refurbished or new?

I believe he got a refurb. That's what they generally do unless they don't have any then they give new.

Soft reset? Like just rebooting? Or full wipe and restart?

OK I looked that up and it says it's to troubleshoot an app that may be causing the issue, did you remove an app after that?

I have similar problems. My phone camera flash currently doesn't work at all. None of the apps which have access to the camera and the flash work. I'm currently using InFocus M320e. Several days ago I recorded a video for 35 minutes and the flash was on because it was dark at that time. Is there any way to fix it? Thanks.

Why is this happening?

Recently I've been getting this notification when I try to update an app.
How do I get rid of it?

You may have a rogue app.
You may need to check all your apps
To track it down.

Lol. Its a rogue/adware/spyware app. Goto application manager from settings and hunt it down. Roast it and eat it. Also, maybe uninstall it?

Defiantly a rough app.
I would suggest a wipe in such cases, this is to fully ensure elimination of the problem.

With root there are options in Wanam to do this. Screen stay off when small received. However it doesn't work with this device.

Is there anyone who is familiar with decompiling/recompiling APKs that can do this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471786

This also annoys me to no end. Hopefully someone can mod the apk so we Dont have the screen automatically turn on when an MMS is received

Can't find a thread on this. Online video lag?

Whenever I go online and watch something like an mp4 video on a site the video plays but it is very jittery. Anyone else notice this?

Well I definitely know that's not the issue because I do the fairly often and flash new toms especially with quick development of new ones. It's frustrating that this beast of a phone struggles with something my first smartphone ever, DROID incredible, could do.

That is strange. Maybe you should root it and put a rom on it I have never had that issue

I am on MJE and do not have any issues with my stock camera. I am also completely stock. Maybe trying a reboot will help

I am still on stock MJE and the camera is working fine. No other issues to report

I cleared the camera apps cache and it has not happened since.

Could anybody do this? I've tried following tutorials using both Ubuntu and windows and I can never get the system ui to compile again. I am willing to pay for it. Device I'm using is D800. Though I don't think it matters since its just a systemui edit

Yeah - editing apks without decompiling generally doesn't work. I finally got it to recompile after I changed the status bar xml stuff, however, I was greeted by force closes galore.
