[Q] Does opening the Camera App result in a black screen and/or freeze your phone? - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does opening the Camera App result in a black screen and/or freeze your phone?
Wondering if this is just an issue with my phone or some kind of bug with this phone?
This happens to me 1-2 times a week.

My camera has been acting weird since updating

Stock camera app on stock ROM and now that I think about it, this has been happening since the update!

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.

1 month slow down

It's been a month and I have tons of apps and now the phones all of a sudden lagging. Anyone else notice this?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Like everything lags or just particular apps/functions (sms, recent apps, etc)? Have you tried wiping cache in recovery?
R u rooted and do u have a recovery?
How about using the built in memory cleaner that frees up ram.add a swap along with your ram.I guess more info is needed to help u

Use holo launcher hd as ur default launcher....im convinced touchwiz has leaks
I havr advanfed task killer installed and let it run idling. ...normally I never use it but on the rare super lag I kill everything in memory (I.e. no auto kill as normally android does better memory management on its own)

Had mine for exactly one month today and nope, no lags at all.
Are you using Greenify (if rooted)?

i mean yeah it works and all but it doesnt mean it stops the lag lol...
Have a ton of crap on your phone will slow it down, and I'm assuming you already knew this. I'm going to assume that you mean your phone took a massive lag attack all of a sudden.
I'm going to say it's something in your memory that keeps launching itself. What's the last app you installed? How many apps run in the background on your phone?

Looks like a problem with the sync between the camera and the flash. Does this also happen on another camera app?

So it's just Stock that has an issue.
Seems that way I'm on EE XUBMI7 FW no updates as yet should I exchange or wait it out
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Try clearing cache and data on the camera app, first. Then if that doesn't work clear the system cache in recovery.
It's a firmware issue so I doubt returning it would make any difference.

Anyone have a problem with camera flash not working?

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.

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.

Strange S4 behavior

My S4 is acting crazy lately. Seemingly randomly several download icons show up in my notification area. And it's old downloads that have been moved or deleted. Any idea what's going on? Thanks.
are you rooted with a custom recovery/rom
what's your build
what have you done to fix it
I'm rooted with stock and safestrap. It's 4.3 mk2. And since I have no idea what's going on I've done nothing to try to fix it.

Still looking for help with this one. It used to happen just once in a while but now it's like this almost all the time. Very annoying.

Thanks for the replies but my problem has gone away, per se. I ended up accidentally knocking the S4 off my desk at work and cracked the screen and screwed up the display. Now I have a S5 Active. Thanks again.
