Hey,
I am currently running the 1.48 rom and the problem is sometimes when i wanna turn my HD2's camera on it says came couldn't be initialized (have to reboot to use it) the other problem is that some times the camera will not turn on the light the button gets grayed out for some reason. i HAVE NOT applied the came fix since it messed up the led light completely and not even 10 resets fixed it... when i last installed it.
Anyone has the same issue?
hi,
usealy the camera refuses to turn on the (flash)light when your battery is lower then xx%, i dont know the exact value but if you do a search here in the board you will find it.
for the crashes i cant help you out, but having a look into the various camera threads here may also be helpful.
regards mad
There are a few threads about the camera intitalisation already, and I believe I was the first to submit one. Anyway, I have recently found out the Opera 10 Beta strangely enough caused the issue. I havent experienced the problem since uninstalling it so....give it a try (assuming you installed Opera 10).
I have tried several rom/kernel combinations on two Nexus 7's and noticed that while doing normal internet surfing or using basic applications that the screen will black out for second then come back on and resume where it was. I noticed some posts on this in the android development sections, yet no one seems to have a fix. Is this a software thing or a hardware thing?
I noticed this when I installed CM10 based PA, so I guess it's a ROM issue.
Its the surfaceflinger issue. They did something recently to it and im guessing dont realize its a bug.. but let me link you the fix it will work on any ROM.
surfaceflinger-fix.zip Flash in recovery and enjoy.
Hey guys,
This is my first Samsung after multiple HTCs, so this has really annoyed me... I preordered from Orange back in April, so I've had it since release. Everything was fine, though the battery life was far from perfect.
In the last week, maybe two, I noticed that the screen wasn't turning properly. Then it was stuck on the right side, whenever I turned on Screen Rotation. After 4 restarts, it just does nothing. I tried wiping and starting again, but to no avail...
I've also been into the *#0*# menu and under Sensors, the Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Magnetic selftests all fail. I thankfully don't play any games that require them, but taking photos is stuck to landscape and I can't view them in landscape on my phone...
Any theories?
same problem here mate!
Rooted, installed CWM recovery, fooled around with some Google Edition Roms and now I`m on the same problem.
Out of the blue, the sensor stoped working!
Flashed my original ROM with Odin and that didn`t work.
And background of the recovery (now original) the android has a red triangle and he is lying flat.
Everything else is working...
Someone plz help!
I'm sorry about how this sounds, but I'm glad it's not just me!
I didn't try rooting yet, so it's not related to that. I'm going to call Samsung (no web support...) Tomorrow if I get a chance.
Had yours overheated a few times beforehand? I'm wondering if the sensors are ruined by the heat...
Not sure if it is the heat...
My GS3 was always hot when using! And everything was fine for more than a year.
Your light sensor is working?
Mine is not working either.
To be more precise:
Accelerometer, Proximity, Barometer, Light, Gyroscope, Magnetic, Gesture and Temp-Humid
all of the Sensors of the *#0*# test
=/
Nope, light sensor doesn't recognise when I'm in a call and put it to my ear, or remove it... It senses nothing.
Today I unstalled the 3D Image live wallpaper app (since it uses the Gyroscope) and restarted the the phone, every sensor was up and running again.
So I installed the 3D Image live wallpaper again and after a while the sensors stopped again.
So I unstalled again and rebooted the phone again and... Nothing! This seens to be completly random.
Do you use any Gyroscope 'intensive' app?
I factory reset my handset and nothing, so it's not an app or wallpaper I'm using. After the restore I used the Internet Browser to check the screen rotation, nothing.
I've a similar problem here... the sensors sometimes doesn't work, sometimes does work, it's random. Already tried to restore factory defaults and many different FWs, always with this same behavior....
My S4 has only 3 weeks, and it came like this, but I took some time to identify the problem...
I have the same problem, I tried factory reset several times, changed the FW for all available versions and the problem continues. In my case the only difference is that the sensors operate for a maximum of 30minutes after I reboot the phone and then stop again.
Has anything else happened like getting water near the phone in order for sensors to not work..
Or the phobe fell down?

Can the problem due to the installation of a third-party launcher like Nova or Apex? When using these launcher, none of the sensors work. When back to the default TW launcher, some work while others not working.
Is this a bug?

I used stock Touchwiz. My sensors suddenly stopped working. I did a hard reset and problem still existed. Today I will get my phone from repair and post some more info.
Using the *#0*# test mode, all functions are working. However, some of the sensors are working like hit-and-run state. Wondering should I bring it down to the service center.
Got my SGS4 today and flashed it to GE ROM. Everything woks fine, but I tried taking a picture with Photosphere and it kept on drifting off.
I guess that means I have a similar problem. Will test Service menu later today...
OK, Service Menu does not work on GE edition ROM...but I found a little app called Sensor Test for free on the PlayStore and it shows all sensors working fine with the exception of the accelerometer...that gives nonsense values...
It does sound like a fault with hardware not software or anything you have done so you should be able to walk into the orange store or [insert carrier retail store here] and they should replace it as long as your under contract at least thats how it works here in the uk with the sales of goods act
Okay. Strange things. I only habe severe problems in Photosphere. Flashed a different ROM and service menu dass all OK.
GPS toolbox looks OK with the compass ticking slightly to the right, then jerking back. Needs More research...
Update: I flashed back to a 4.2.2 ROM (also Google Edition) and now my problem seems to be gone...
Are you all on 4.3 or do some of you use 4.2 ROMs?
Update2: Turned out to be coinsidence...drifting started in 4.2.2 as well. I then tried my trust old Galaxy Nexus and saw that it also drifts now. I'm completely confused...
Got my S4 back from repair center. They replaced the main board and now everything appears to be working ok.

Got mine back, too (Germany, datrepair.de). Don't know what they changed, but it's still not functioning. So disappointed...
Hey i just had the same issue, suddenly (nothing happened, i was playing some game, not even with heavy graphics or anything) and when i was back to my home screen i noticed the auto rotation doesn't work, after i tried rebooting and taking out the battery i re-flashed my omega rom and still, nothing.
In the sensors test they all fail.
Is there anything else other than sending it to repair?
I mean did anyone succeeded in repairing that issue with some simple means?
Thanks!
i had the exact same problem
i claimed warranty, still waiting
Last weekend for the second time flashed Quarx's CM 10.2 Nightly from CM 10-2ndboot. Here's my report:
1) Experienced the "unfortunately android keyboard has stopped" problem after updating. Didn't know how to solve it, so I had to flash SBF and still had this issue. After numerous times of reflashing finally got this problem gone. So I guess it's my flashing problem (?).
2) 720P Recording isn't working, although this is th default present for the camera app.
3) I wonder if anyone else noticed it: texts in the SMS app is thincker yet blur tha the previous roms (CM10 or earlier). Actually it's hard to read.
4) Also, the touch buttons' lightness is no longer auto-adjusted - either 100% light or off. Don't know if this is a univeral Jelly Bean issue or only occurs for Defy.
5) Last but not least: how can I disable the animation effects while switching the home screens?
Except from the above, all other functions worked fine. But in the end I flashed back to my previous choice - the stable CM10-2nd boot builds due to all those small but iritating issues.
Maybe they will all be solved in KitKat?

1. Usually this is a wrong gapps issue.
2. 720p rec might not be working due to green lens Defy.
3. No, it looks the same.
4. Yes, i've noticed this too, but it's not a major issue.
5. I think there is an option in Trebuchet settings/use a different launcher.

1) You need to install the correct gapps from TJKV (unfortunately i can't post links)
2) It's working for me (Defy+).
3) It's perfect in my Defy+, not blurry.
4) It's true, nothing to say.
5) Go to Settings>Developers option>Drawing and turn Animation off in this itens: Window animation scale, Transition animation scale and Animator duration sacel.
So, I'm experiencing this weird camera issue. The phone says taht it could not start the camera or that the camera is already in use. But then, if I turn off the device for something like a day or two, once I turn it on again the camera starts working properly until I reboot the phone. I already tried to flash stock rom, firmware, whatsoever, but it didn't work. I also tried may custom roms, but the behaviour is always the same. Would you have any suggestions? Right now I'm running A12 Pixel Extended ROM.
