Does it say "warning;camera failed" ? And are you loading the camera from the lock screen or home screen?

I had the same problem with my new Galaxy S4 that I bought on 8 of may in 2013.
In the beginning, the camera work fine, but after several minutes, on each time that I tried to open the camera aplication it had black screen with an error message.
I tried to exit the battery and return it, it didn't help.
I tried to rebot to manufacturer settings, at the first couple of minutes the camera work fine, but later the black screen appear again at each time I open the camera application.
Here is a link to youtube that show the same problem that I had :
Search on youtube "samsung galaxy s4 camera fail"
What can I do ?
I am having the same problem with my s4; tried system update, factory reset... maybe i need to try to flash my firmware. so disappointed with Samsung. a flagship phone shouldn't have this problem!
to be safe, getting it exchanged... i never bought insurance before but it looks like i might need to if i am sticking with the s4.
It's a known problem. Loads of people have it. You'll just have to wait for Samsung to fix it.

From today speaking to a guy who repairs samsungs this is a hardware issue. Reboots and factory resets seem to fix the issue but the root of the problem is the the camera module either not correctly attached/or soldered to the connection so when rebooting or resetting the phone the movement of the device in your hand or laying the phone face up briefly re-connects the module to the device. I'm awaiting my new device as my carrier told me a few people have had this issue also.
Hope that helps

no it dosent.. it just crashes.. with a black screen!
I have taken several pictures with my 2 days old GS4 but in one occasion when I opened the camera and switched from the front camera to the main, the phone froze and reboot it self :/
I hope i only was a one time failure and not hardware or software relate.
Cheers
There are several other topics created for this issue Slow or reboot when opening camera apps and [Q] Galaxy S4 - reboot launching camera from lockscreen
So far, temporary fixes are limiting the background processes to 4 from the developer options in the settings menu and disabling air view options and smart screen options. This has worked for me, I haven't experienced any other reboots but the lag is still present and sometimes when enabling both cameras feature the app would freeze.
I'm not sure whether this is a hardware or a software issue but nevertheless most GS4s experience lag with the camera app, especially those on the octa version, the GT-I9500. I bought the phone internationally, not using a carrier and switching mine will be a pain; therefore i really hope it's a solvable software issue.
This happened to me yesterday. I tried factory resets, going back to stock with Kies, clearing data, but nothing works. I thought it was because of something
I flashed yesterday, but that wasnt it. Sad it happened so quickly and hopefully it can be fixed.

He doesn't work for Samsung he just repairs them independently so he is speaking from experience. But I have since asked another independent business and the toldme the same. My problem has now stopped buti believe could be fixed due to my new case on the phone pushing the camera module slightly in place? Who knows but I am replacing incase it happens again (really don't wanna be lumbered with an s4 with a broken camera)

Were you receiving any warning messages?. As I dug into this problem I've found there are 2 error types. In the 1st scenario the camera would crash and a message would be displayed. The 2nd one, would just turn the screen black after accessing the camera app and after a few seconds the phone would reboot.
If a message is displayed then it's most likely a hardware issue. If the phone restarts without warnings then disabling air gesture options and smart screen options along with disabling a few samsung apps temporary solved the matter, therefore being a software misbehave. It's not a permanent solution but until sammy releases a patch this could be a small fix.

Mine did both loaded camera app then black screen with message after a few seconds "warning:camera failed" then one time the phone didn't reboot it simply froze until I force restarted it. I'm getting replacement tomorrow evening as I use my camera a lot when I don't have a dedicated camera with me

Yup, I have that exact thing. Unfortunately, T-Mobile US doesn't have the S4 as part of their replacement "plan" yet. I'll have to check back later.
I don't even know if my eyes are cheating me, or the tablet is indeed have a problem.
(If you followed my previous topic, this is the second tablet I got, brand new.)
Noticed the issue in Hangouts first, with AI keyboard and dynamic screen mode.
Disabling dynamic seemed to fix the issue.
But yesterday I saw it again... at least I think.
It was only a Chrome window, and I was reading news.
The screen went from lighter to darker while I did nothing with the tablet.
Anyone else seeing/having the same issue?
It's so damn annoying.
I mean, I never had such issue on my displays on any device. That's why I think it's not my eyes...

Try turning off "Reading Mode": [Settings] -> [Device] -> [Display] -> [Reading Mode = Off]
Just a thought.
This may be a silly question, but, is your brightness set to auto?

I believe it happens whenever an image is shown. So you will probs notice it when text takes up the entire screen and as you scroll down the page and an image comes into view the screen will change brightness.
Just have to get used it a guess. I kinda am lol.

the tablet has dynamic backlighting that i haven't seen anywhere to turn off (it's not the screen mode, i have that set to movie). there was a thread about it earlier and i think only the OP and i were able to see it. it's a lot subtler than other devices but when you have a dark scene the screen dims a bit, then when you have a "bright" scene the screen increases the backlight a bit.
I have this issue and its especially noticeable with gifs on screen.

Thanks fellas!
Back to Samsung it goes!
Well, at the moment I contacted the local consumer rights service and will try to use the law against the carrier.
Which basically means that they will have to refund me for both the tablet and mobile data fees.
Yeah, this provider got the best prices. And the worst customer service.
And yeah I waited YEARS for this tablet to arrive (I missed the original 10.1 bandwagon)... and it's riddled with bugs. Don't even know what to do if they do refund.
Should I buy an iPad? But that's dumb as a rock. A normal tablet? What's the point in that?
So yeah. Wait for the Note Pro? But who knows if it won't have the same... or even more issues?
Yeah, #firstworldproblems, I know.
But I had a Latitude XT2 laptop with a pen. Most magical thing ever.
I just wanted to write again. ;_;
pls sammy why u do dis to us...
@madsquabbles: Nah. I disabled dynamic, set it to normal or what. Auto backlight is off ... I checked everything.
This is not a feature, but some stupid power management or firmware issue. Not that Sammy would address either. (See the lack of 4.4 or multi-seat support. The tablet is far from brand new.)
ps.: I don't think it's that two of you could see it. You two had the same panel issue as I do. (Remember, Apple also loves to mess up things like this. Like their latest problem with the Retina MBPs had the burn in problem. It was the same machine, but two companies were shipping the LCD panels. One was faulty, other one was perfect. I suspect the same.)
@Geordie Affy: I found this issue happening on news sites. But now it happened on a wall of text (it was a news site again, but without any images.) And today, even in LectureNotes. Not that it's bad, BUT it's annoying as hell.
Baaah. Sorry guys for "mentioning", I just tend to use this stupid mail symbol to refer to people.
Silly internet. There are no symbols left that would cause no harm. ;_;

Use the law against carrier? Good luck.
If everything else works, as you said, then why don't you fix this issue (not sure if it's a bug, as you call it).
Turn the auto brightness off, control it yourself.
Or install lux, if you're rooted, and you have much better control.

This is different. It's not auto, it's not scene mode, it's not what you think it is.
Uhm... okay how can I explain this.
If you don't have it, you can't guess what we mean.
It's like... you are reading some text, and it goes darker, then brigher, then darker. At the very same screen, even if you stop scrolling.
Then if you got images, it can become worse.
It's terrible because you spend like 10 seconds each time to check if you eyes are bad or there is something fishy going on.
As I said it's possible a faulty panel provider or something.
Now I'm on the carrier-war. If I lose that, I'll send the tablet back to Sammy for LCD replacement/repairs.
I have seen this exact issue and have been able to reproduce it on my friends unit as well. Open up snote.. Start recording a voice memo and watch.. The screen flashes dim and bright. Dim and bright.. It drove me nuts.. Then I noticed.. It was actually doing it in unison with the red blinking dot of the voice memo. So I think it's something where there is an animated gif/pic on screen. I will test turning off reading mode to see if that fixes it and report back. I think I also have mine set to dynamic

Hi, so I got my Moto G4 about 2 days ago and I noticed today when I was swiping on my home screen from left to right the app Icons release a blurry trail like some sort Motion Blur , and In the Notifications too the Wi-Fi and Cellular toggle leave a blurry trail of the icon when swiping up or down. Is this a software problem? I just Factory reseted my phone and the problem is gone but reapeared later again. I think that it's because I had too many app icons on my home screen (I had only 2 pages)?

Posted there still no solutions thought. I noticed when my phone gets hot the blur is almost gone (It wasn't noticable) What is going on? Also I flashed a older version of the firmware and still had that blur. It got heavy again after I installed like 12 apps and then I updated again to the latest build and still the blur is there.

Try to go to service center.Make sure you have locked the bootloader.
I also have this problem. The support advised me to send the phone to a service center.
For information, this usually occurs when the screen is hot, about 10 minutes of use. Particularly visible when used as GPS (waze or google maps).
This is a hardware problem. Not software, it remains after a quick restart.

Thanks for the info! For me it's the opposite when my phone is cold (To be exact, the battery when it's at 22,0°C in CPU-Z) the blur is there and really noticable. When I use my phone and the battery hits 35-37°C the blur is almost gone everywhere but an app named "Discord" that has really small text has the blur and it's really noticable. I'll send it and see what they can do.

sony xperia XZ？？？
I just installed it, so far it works well and seems better optimized than the AOSP version of Sony.
oh ****, too much not developping aosp and omnirom gets in
Not support sony xz dual. Sim delected
I hope rom support sony xz dual.
Had it for a few hours. Feels nice, the finger recognition doesnt really work though. Cameras good, sound is ok, once the finger recognition works thatl be ace. Just remember to install supersu and gapps too guys.
Few things...
- Bluetooth is messed up (range seems to be extremely limited and the audio quality when using a Bluetooth device is unusable)
- Severe echo during phone calls when not using Bluetooth
- Screen is frequently unresponsive after waking the phone. Pressing the power button to turn off the screen and turn it on again helps. Seems to be fixed by turning off Double Tap Screen to Wake
- No way to get it to pass SafetyNet
I'd recommend against using this. Certainly not a Daily Driver, but glad to see they're making progress.

Install next lock screen to find, the unresponsive after unlocking. There's no lock screen that's why.

I see, they used my work on aosp, it contains some exact bugs i got before, i fixed some of them in the lastest build thanks to XZ dev discord
Camera has many issues. Fingerprint sensor. Few other small bits. But I love it. Shame battery dies so quickly due to "miscellaneous" app in battery usage.

How do you find the call quality?
It's garbled over bluetooth here, and in non-bluetooth calls the other person always complains they can hear an echo of their own voice.
Music quality over in-car bluetooth is fine though.
Apart from the above issue & the occasional random compilation error when applying a Substratum theme, it seems to run well so far.
I would be happiest if someone made a nice kernel, like the EX for our OmniRom featured XZ Kagura.
I would like to be able to play with that, but unfortunately I do not have time, and there are smarter people with much more experience @flar2 @_LLJY @AndroPlus

AOSP kernel I made a long time ago..

F8332 anyone has the same problem
I received a Z17 a few days ago and have really struggled with it. The phone feels really good but I am finding operation really difficult - the screen seems excessively sensitive. Most of the time when I touch or sweep the screen it register multiple touches - I hear multiple ticks. More often than not the app just tapped on opens then immediately closes (not force closing just going into background). Operating the phone is near impossible.
Is there a way to re-calibrate the screen sensitivity?
Short video showing the problem - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpP6t2C3xeM

I don't have that issue. My screen issue is that it's too dark. I have to put it over 75% brightness or higher. I have a Bluboo Maya Max that also have an LCD screen from JDI that is pretty bright at 25% level.
Brightness seems OK here - although I might not be the best person as I typically run my screens at minimum/very low brightness unless I am out in the sun.
The sensitivity issue is driving me nuts though.
Bee
Updated to latest software version (2.44) but this has not improved the situation.
I have noticed that this is worst when I pick up and use the phone after it has been sat for a while. Things settle down if I continue to use the screen for an extended period of time - it seems like the screen is hugely sensitive and is picking up static on my hands.
Hopefully there will be a way to recalibrate the screen, maybe once root, unlocked bootloader and custom roms all become possible.
Still surprised no one else has reported this issue. Really hoping to find a way to re-calibrate the screen sensitivity.
Here is a video showing the problem. Basically it is nearly impossible to use the phone when you first pick it up, it does seem to improve after continue use.

If you turn up the volume (and watch the red home indicator) you will hear/see that each touch is being registered multiple times.

if yes, how?
any other google apps?

Yes - chrome works. You will need to get from apkmirror or similar.
Like others I tried installing google framework & play but this didn't work. Google music would run but unless you have local files you can't do anything with it.
I REALLY want to like this phone but so far it just isn't usable as a daily driver.

I have noticed that this is worst when I pick up and use the phone after it has been sat for a while. Things settle down if I continue to use the screen for an extended period of time - it seems like the screen is hugely sensitive and is picking up static on my hands.

I have the same problem, exactly as you describe it! It appears that it's the Recent Apps button that has the problem (at least on my phone) as it is the only one that activates on its own. It also seems as if it "accumulates" button presses when left alone, so it has to "release" them during the first couple of minutes that you pick it up again. Then it is more or less ok.

Hopefully there will be a way to recalibrate the screen, maybe once root, unlocked bootloader and custom roms all become possible.

I was hoping the same but this is not the case unfortunately. Problem is still there with the latest Resurrection Remix (5.8.4). It's a shame, it's a great phone otherwise but this bug is driving me mental
Not just me!
Sort of pleased someone else has the same problem! Agree that it isn't fixed in RR. Hopefully there will eventually be a solution.
I tend to deal with it by holding the phone between my two palms (i.e. holding my palm fully across the screen) for a second or so when I pick the phone up after it has been sat for a while. This seems to reduce the sensitivity (or remove static build up?) and things work normally.
Of course this shouldn't be necessary and not something you want to do when trying to answer a call.

Friend did you solve the problem with the resurrection remix? . I have seen a new update that says something about a bug I hope is the solution.
Daken.

Still surprised no one else has reported this issue. Really hoping to find a way to re-calibrate the screen sensitivity.
Here is a video showing the problem. Basically it is nearly impossible to use the phone when you first pick it up, it does seem to improve after continue use.

If you turn up the volume (and watch the red home indicator) you will hear/see that each touch is being registered multiple times.

Hello Boboskins
Can't access to your video
Sadly still not found a solution. I have tried RR (up until about 10 days ago) and now using Mokee. Appreciate your comments on the recent updates - I will take a look at the log in case the latest RR updates solve anything.
EDIT: Ursus91, just took a look and Photobucket appears to have stopped allowing 3rd party views. I will upload somewhere else and update the link once I am done.
@boboskins : thanks, it should be helpful to understand the problem you encounter. I'm not sure to understand. And I'm still waiting to use the phone every day
I have the same problem
Same problème here ! When i use the phone it seems it close app or back like i hit the button. :/ Really annoying :s
Hello,
I have the same problem too. The sole solution from GeekB is to return the phone for repairing...
I have it sometimes on the left button (in the major cases), the middle button has actually no problems, the right, sometimes.
I use the middle button to come back to "the main view" (icons) and then, the left button seems going alive.
I'm not sure it is a hardware problem
Edge gestures issue
Greetings!
I've just started using Nubia Z17 Lite and found out that the specific edge gesture to control the brightness level doesn't work on my unit. Does anyone know if this is a bug that can be resolved by an update or did anyone have the same issue and has fixed it?
I'm quite sure the problem isn't with the hardware because other edge gestures seem to work fine.
Thanks ?
Nubia Z17 black screen
Good evening. I own a Nubia Z17 8gb ram 128gb rom and today had a problem. His screen is black and the LED on the menu button is on. It obeys no command. He did not fall, everything perfect. Could someone help me with this problem?
