Help needed.. Unable to run camera app, email app and the Internet app! - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I am not sure if this issue has been discussed earlier or not as I couldn't find it in the forum. Any help on below issue will be much appreciated.
I am currently using Samsung S4 I9500 which was working perfectly fine about 2-3 weeks back. But right after factory resetting the phone, out of blue my phones front camera stopped working i.e. It freezes then closes every time I switch from back camera to front. Then the next day I go on to use stock Internet browser and stock email app on my phone and that too stopped working same as above freezes then closes on its own.
I have tried to google the same issue but so far have not run in to anything that could be of any help to me. Therefore please let me know as to what should I do and kindly use the most simplest form of words as I am practically a newbie who doesn't even know how to root and install custom rom even
Any help would be much appreciated and thank you in advance.

[Q] Galaxy tab Camera help

I just got my tab and when ever i try to use the camera i cant see what i'm shooting.... it only displays the last picture i shot but when press the shutter button it shots fine and the display change to the thing i shot...
Video mode is the same.
I tried clear data for the Camera app and force close it but its the same...
can any one help?
btw i searched the forums but i didn't find anything sorry if there is a thread about this already
i also hv this problem also... please help us..
~i thought it is bcoz of the spare part apps. then i try to set it default. but it still same..
BUMP. Help us please
I have the same problem.
As a workaround, if you slide the camera/video slider, the Tab switches back to the camera setting, and the viewfinder is displayed.
I have had some other problems with my tab, like crashing apps all the time, I made a hardreset and now everything is fine. You may test it and report here.
i had the same problem with the camera app. sliding the camera/video slider doesn't help.
so i reboot the tab & its working fine now.
regards,
mike
Yup, i know, after reboot, the problem gone.So, if like that, everytime i face the problem, i hv to reboot. How can like that..
I am facing this issue too, any fix?
Damn now I'm in the boat, but I think I know why this happens, my camera doesnt show black screen or something, it shows the last viewed youtube video and if I switch to video cam, two youtube vids are shown.
So may its caused by the new youtube app?
So, all hv this problem by using the new youtube app?
How to revert back to previous version of youtube? Where can get the installer?
I also have the problem its not cuz of youtube app, it happens with videos that you watch any video from any app.

i have the exact same problem..viewfinder gets stuck on the last frame of the last viewed video, and only a restart can fix it. Any news on a proper solution for this? I hate restarting the phone...
cam problem
Hello devs plz helps all with tis fix of viewfinder we are waiting for it, every time we use video call, u tube, play game, this freezes the view finder, looking forward to fix from you ppl, no hopes from samsung as usual
thankx in advance
I had the problem on the camera of SGT as well 3 months back. However, I sent in my SGT for an upgrade of firmware due to other reasons (not because of the camera issue). And the problem has gone forever.
When I encountered this problem back then, I tried rebooting, clearing of memory (RAM), it goes off for a while, but it came right back, especially when you view YouTube. It is quite annoying.
So, my advice to you guys is to send it to Samsung for a firmware upgrade, it just takes less than an hour. By the way, my SGT is stock ROM.

[Q] Camera not responding!!

Hey guys,
I have a note 3 LTE international on stock 4.4.2 rooted. Whenever I open the camera app it freezes, I can see the camera itself working but the app is not responsive, I can't click on anything to take a picture or record a video unless I turn on voice control, it is the only way to take pictures.
Besides that 3rd party camera apps are working fine.
Can someone please help?
Thank you all and have a good evening.
Re:
I reinstalled the firmware and the problem seemed to be solved, but after rooting and granting root to all of my apps the problem came back, which app do you think can cause this? Thanks.

[Q] Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530H browsers

Hi, i have a problem with my galaxy grand prime 4.4.4 SM-G530H no rooted and brand new, I bought it a month ago and everything was great until like a week ago chrome started to freeze the whole phone and even Firefox, both lags, freezes and crashes and make the phone freeze too, if I don't use the browsers the phone its normal. I uninstalled and installed again, delete data, cache and everything that gets in my mind and I dont know why this is happening. The stock browser works a little better but still slow.

You may try a factory reset and setup the phone as a new device (no syncing from previous device)

Have you installed a bunch of applications? Too many apps may eat up the device's RAM and cause lagging, how many free ram do you have?
140mb free ram it always shows approx this much ram free...

I'm having the same problem. Anyone found a solution? Preferrably without losing warranty.
Note: I always have like ~220MB of RAM free and still get these freezes.

No, i still have the problem, I try to not use chrome at all even if it's useful for my bookmarks for google, the phone it's laggy too and now I kind of regretting to buy it XDA doesn't even have a thread for this phone that says much about how bad the phone is(?) :crying:
May be some of the Devices are affected.... I think its a manufacturing defect. The thing is i void my warranty by rooting . I don't know if there is way for unrooting and restoring Knox .
Guys, I noticed that when turning on "Force GPU Rendering" from developer options, browsing experience is very smooth and lag is gone. I tested this on chrome and chrome beta. Could work as a temporary solution.
Yesterday I Hard Rest my prime and installed all the memory bugging apps but everything is working perfectly. No lagging and hanging anymore. I think battery backup has also been improved a bit. I think u ppl shld root and do hard reset.
I tried this and it seems that the problem is gone, you should have a try : http://www.androidauthority.com/chrome-android-scroll-lagging-363080/
P.S : I changed the value to 256
Use CM Browser

even i had the same problem i factory reseted my phone and its fine
Prob with Freezes
What would cause a phone to constantly freeze and stop working until the battery is taken out and put back in to get it back to working again.
I go thru this way too much throughout the day?
Lag?

Stock MIUI Downloads Issue

Hi XDA Fam,
My father's RN7 is acting weird and I'm not there in person to troubleshoot but would like to seek simple suggestions to diagnose the issue. Everything is working fine but the phone is not able to download any stuff from either browser or the email attachments. Even the Play Store app updates are stuck in pending and not progressing to downloading / installing however any media downloads in WhatsApp are working perfectly fine.
I was able to circumvent the problem once by clearing all data from the downloads app and it worked on a couple of occasions but the issue keeps on popping up every now and then. Can some one please advise what can the problem be and its solution? Factory reset is not an option for now.
The phone is running Stock MIUI 12.5 ROM based on Android 10.
I would appreciate all your inputs - thank you!!
