Remove the battery while phone is running and restart. Hopefully that will fix it. Otherwise you may have to do a factory reset. Or, your phone is damaged.

After restart everything works as it should

I've had the same issues with my Note 4. I searched a lot online trying to find an answer.
If it was a hardware problem, I think you would see WAY more people having an issue. Plus I tried one persons attempt and it worked for me.
I removed Tesla Flashlight app and rebooted (not factory reset). Once the phone turned back on, the camera worked fine. I've heard from others to remove any flashlight type app and it fixes it.
Again if it was a hardware problem, I don't see how removing certain apps would fix it. It could be a hardware/software issue.
My problem now is that I use my flashlight a lot and if I can't have a flash light on my phone, I consider it a major FAIL for Samsung. Such a shame because I've been such a supporter for so many years.

This problem occurs because your flashlight app could be locking out your camera hardware in order for it to use the flash. This behavior maybe different for other flashlight app so try switching to other app.
Oddly for my model of Note 4 I don't need to download a flashlight app since there's already a built in widget in there plus it can function even when I use the camera. Try looking for it in the widgets menu it's name is torch with a green icon.

Tab has crashed.

When I use the stock internet browser, I continuously get this THIS TAB HAS CRASHED error, which I refresh and it works fine. Its becoming annoying because it happens 10-20 times a day. Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
Phone Info:
I have a Galaxy S5 from Cricket (AT&T-USA MVNO).
Samsung-SM-G900AZ
Android 4.4.2
Baseband G900AZTUU1ANE7
The stock browser is a weird piece of software. It doesn't even have a name (just says "Internet"), no version number., doesn't say who made it (Google, Samsung or 3rd party?), doesn't have a privacy policy. But I use it because its fast and works the way a browser should. The phone is only 4 days old. Not rooted. I am pretty sure this is some sort of bug Google has placed in Android to push people to use Chrome browser instead just like Samsung is pushing people to use Samsung cloud services for Contacts, but without getting in the middle of their tug of war, I'd like to be able to use my phone properly. :good:
Anyone else having this issue? Its frustrating because it is happening 20 times a day already. When I refresh it works fine. So why doesn't the dumb app just try to refresh without my intervention?

Have you tried to clear data of it?
Yes just did and it keeps happening, a lot!

Did you ever find a solution to this issue is is doing my nut in. Sometimes it crashes and I have to reload the tab maybe 7 or 8 times before it works as if no issues. I have a feeling it might be flash related but can't find a fix.

Note 4 Display turns on by itself or minimal touches

Hello, friends of the Note 4.
Im note sure if i am right here to ask about a specific problem.
Like i mentioned in the headline, the display of my phone turns on by minimal touches it seems, for example if i take the phone in my hand but not puch any button. Can be that it also turns on without toches, im not so sure.
The effect is hardly reproducable though, by handling the phone rougher just to see if the display turns on. Not sure.
Im a little stumped by this problem, since it didnt changed by flashing another rom. Im a little afraid that it could be a hardware problem... Hope not.
Do you have any advice for me what to try or in what direction to look for a solution?
Thanks!
Quick Glance on for some reason? LOL!

What even is Quick Glance? I use a Note 7 rom, by the way... Just truned off smart stay. It will take time to see if it solved the problem.
I think this problem is related to the apps that can appear on top like pie control, drup or any other 3rd party apps. So try to disable them one by and see which app is causing this problem. Cheers

Thanks for reply! Honestly, the whole Apps hat can appear on top thing is a super bother. I dont really understand the sense of it. Yes i will try to disable all.

[APP][6.0+] Dorch - Dual Torch for devices with both Front and Back flash

Dorch - Dual Torch​Its been a while that some newer devices devices now have both Front and Back flash for capturing photos so there but be an app for toggling both of them as torch.​
Background:
I recently bought Moto Z Play that had both front and back flashlight but i couldn't find an App that can toggles both of them at same time in store (or maybe I am bad at searching), so I developed one.
Its just a clean simple app that serves the purpose of flashlight toggling and nothing else.​
Screenshots:
Note:
I have found that the app is not working same for every device. Some devices are allowing only one flashlight to turn on at a time. I will update the app with fix as soon as I found a workaround. Till then, you can use app for separately turning on each flashlight if its not allowing both for your device.
Download:
Hi. I just installed this, it does not work on my z2 play from verizon. when one torch is on, the other won't turn on even if the button is toggled on. You can't turn both torches on.

I will look into it and update it with the fix as soon as possible.
Thanks for reporting the issue.
Can you make it so that we can set the two torch as a notification so we don't have to click on the app? Can easily switch by opening the notification panel? Thanks!

NFC Issues - Doesn't turn on

Hi,
I have an issue with my OP5. I'm rooted with Magisk and I tried to use Card Emulator Pro app.
I think the app changed the NFC configuration of the OP5 and I can't turn on the NFC.
I tried to restore to NFC configuration back to default but it doesn't change.
Does anyone here has the same issue ?
Here is my log with the error

Hey, i just fixed it by downgrading it to a earlier version. It must have something to do with the latest version firmware. try with 5.0 it worked for me. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-t3628190 download it from here. It should fix it but it will perform a factory reset. but no media data will be lost. once downloaded place it on the phone and head to settings->update_then little ... menu and local file.
hope this helps. I use google pay alot so a fix is a must, thought it was hardware issue

Flashing a custom ROM on a ZED AN817DK?

Hey fellas,
I've done some flashing on android before, but only on smartphones, instead of a car multimedia. My model is ZED AN817DK.
It looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The launcher it came with is kinda disgusting, so I installed Nova Launcher instead.
Regardless, the system barely works, even on the stock settings / factory reset status.
Apps are crashing, changing the audio option in Waze takes a whole 2 minutes to even open up the menu for the option
(the app works but the input is unresponsive for 2 minutes until the menu appears).
I've tried contacting the shop I bought it in and they sent me a "firmware" update in the form of an APK file that will not launch in the device. I don't think I saw an option in it's administrator settings or anywhere else to update firmware via file (only check for firmware update - and it's always "up to date").
So I think I'll resort to flash a custom rom on this. I'm a bit worried since in the scenario where things go wrong I rely only on a pen hole style reset button which I don't fully trust to reset successfully if a custom rom is installed.
Is there a general flashing guide for these devices? How safe is it, as in what are the chances of completely bricking the device?
Are there general or common roms that work well on these devices?
