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.

Hey all...
i've got a simple problem on my nexus 4 running PA 3.65 ..
i keep getting a notice that says (Restricted Access Changed) and when i pull down the notification drawer it disappears right after..
it shows up every 5-10 mins, it's not really annoying but when i activate HALO .... well it is
if there is no solution to this problem then maybe someone knows the app that causes this notification so i can Black list it from HALO....
Thanks in advance :angel:
That message "restricted access changed" is it for certain app? I am running HALO and I don't see any message like that from the system or any stock app.

i think it has something to do with my carrier or network ... because when i remove the sim it doesn't show up anymore
i don't want to go through all system apps and black list them from HALO ... that would take a LONG time
Yep its your carrier. Usually happens when there is a a lot of stress on the towers and network.

I think it has to do with the new app lock feature on PA. It's still buggy.

i live just in the center of Zagreb so the stressed network could be it, but the strange thing is that until a few weeks ago it happened rarely, since than i'm practically used to having that permanent notification up there
the 2nd strange thing is that I never once lost any data, calling or texting, its working perfectly only this is coming up..
i'm running a rooted HTC One International with AOKP Milestone 4.2 (July 2013 release)
I'm posting my experience in hope someone who solved it will let me know how

I'm getting the same issue, me too living in the same place, but i'm with an untouched, unrooted Sony Xperia Z1 (it comes with 4.3).
I'm with VIP as operator, and until a week ago all was working fine, with a good LTE signal.
But the strangest thing is that i'm having this noisy issue only when i'm at home (near the center of Zagreb), never happened in no other places in the town.
I'm pretty sure it is an operator issue, cose i've tried the sim on a non-LTE smartphone with the same results...

While there are several threads announcing the release of Android 5.0.1, in regard to the Nexus 6, most of them seem to be filled with posts relating to the availability, instructions for sideloading, etc.
This thread is to discuss the CHANGES that you have noticed between 5.0 and 5.0.1, and as this is the Nexus 6 section, it should really relate to changes on that device only. You may list changes you've personally noticed, or published changes, but please indicate the source. I, like many of you, no doubt, am very curious to see what is new, fixed, broken, etc.
http://aosp.changelog.to/aosp-LRX21V-LRX22C.html
On 5.0 I kept having the cloud print service or whatever keep crashing, on 5.0.1 I had the Amazon kindle app keep showing a notification Amazon kindle stopped for about 12 hours and had to reboot my phone. (Kept throwing the notification up about every 20 minutes on 5.0.1)
My phone has also been unable to chromecast netflix for the last week and I have to use my gf's nexus 6 to chromecast netflix. Weird little problems with applications on both operating systems.
Edit: Finally re-installed netflix and it fixed chromecasting.
It would be nice to see a list of changes (In language a typical person speaks rather than the jumbled mess that those AOSP changes look like)
I agree. Those AOSP changes are not that easy to understand. Also, they are just to the Android Operating System but doesn't the OTA also contain a new Modem and possibly other driver updates that would fix other issues with our phones? Those fixes and changes would not be in the AOSP list.
On a second note, why does Google do this? They obviously know whats changed. How hard is it to publish a simple list?
Is 5.0.1 fixing the slow text/multiple texts sent issue for Sprint users? People are getting my texts like 10 times quite frequently, I read somewhere that this version fixes that.

It doesn't.
Hell, I'm on AT&T and have the slow text issue. It'll stay stuck on "sending" for 3-4 minutes sometimes. Not sure if it sends multiple times or not, haven't had anyone complain to me that they got the same message several times.
I think I saw there is a new radio... Would be interested to know if signal reception is any better

Work around AP misbehavior on EAPOL-Key descriptor version
It looks like some APs are incorrectly selecting descriptor version 3
(AES-128-CMAC) for EAPOL-Key frames when version 2 (HMAC-SHA1) was
expected to be used. This is likely triggered by an attempt to negotiate
PMF with SHA1-based AKM.
Since AES-128-CMAC is considered stronger than HMAC-SHA1, allow the
incorrect, but stronger, option to be used in these cases to avoid
interoperability issues with deployed APs.
This issue shows up with "WPA: CCMP is used, but EAPOL-Key descriptor
version (3) is not 2" in debug log. With the new workaround, this issue
is ignored and "WPA: Interoperability workaround: allow incorrect
(should have been HMAC-SHA1), but stronger (is AES-128-CMAC), descriptor
version to be used" is written to the log.

I'm seriously noticing my battery is better then it was yesterday before I flashed 5..0.1 I was roughly 34%, which was not really bad, after 12 hours of my normal use. Today, 50%, same time as yesterday. I will keep an eye on it, but thats what I'm seeing. Everything else seems about the same to me.

I recently moved to the 6T from a 3XL because of several hardware issues with that device. So far this device has been a beast. After spending about a week with it, I have a few questions I'm hoping some of you can answer for me!
1. I noticed the lock screen reverts night light if enabled, so the fingerprint scanner can work efficiently. Just wondering if there is any way night light can remain on during the lock screen/fingerprint scan? Or is this impossible because will it impact success rate of fingerprint unlocks?
2. Because of the lack of fingerprint scanner on custom ROMs, I've decided to stay on OOS. This is a long shot but is there any way Substratum overlays can be shown without having to reboot? It's a bit of a hassle to build and update overlays, reboot, apply them, and reboot for full changes to take effect.
3. I don't know if this one is by design, but I noticed my display will wake during calls - if the lift to wake display option is enabled. Anyone else have this issue and know of a fix (other than disabling lift to wake)?
4. My notification bar is tough to pull down while I'm in a call. The only way to get it down is if I drag my finger almost all the way down the screen. Is this also by design?
5. Another call-related issue - sometimes people will tell me they can hear their own voice during a call. Has anyone else experienced this?
6. I'm in Canada with Fido, and OnePlus ensured me VoLTE and VoWiFi will both be an option for me since the device is "globally unified". I'm not seeing any VoLTE icon during calls. I've tried the dialer key combo and enabling VoLTE there, as well as the VoEnabler Magisk Module. Neither of those seem to result in a VoLTE icon. Could anyone confirm if it's just not possible with Fido in Canada, or maybe another solution is out there?
7. This one seems a bit more widespread - some apps using the wrong mic during audio/video records. I've only experienced this in making a video in WhatsApp so far, and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a fix? Or do we just need to wait for OnePlus to come out with an update? Or, do the apps themselves need to be updated to better work with the 6T?
I apologize for so many questions, but if any of you could even answer some, if not all of these questions, I would greatly appreciate it! And I also apologize if some of these questions have already been addressed in previous threads.
Interesting post... Will subscribe because I have experienced some of the issues mentioned. I am also on my first week of use.

1. I'm pretty sure this is by design and it's supposed to be that way. When there were early builds of Havoc for the 6T, some users got FP to work on an all white background with the brightness all the way up. So I'm assuming it's so it can read your fingerprint.
2. Sadly, not that I know of. Swift Installer is the same way. Apply overlays, reboot, reboot again to finish themeing.
3. Due to the notch being a teardrop design, there's little space to pack every sensor into the notch. Happens to me all the time when on a call. I'm pretty sure it's because of the proximity sensor. Once you move the phone from your face just a tad, the screen kicks on. No fix that I know of, yet.
4. Again, proximity sensor I'm assuming. Haven't really tested this too extensively mainly because if I have to use my phone for anything while in a call, I'll put it on speakerphone and use it.
5. I haven't heard anything from the other person. However, I do sometimes hear myself like an echo when talking to someone.
6. I have the T-Mobile variant of the device and immediately switched to International firmware as soon as I got the device, can't remember if it showed those icons or not when I was running the T-Mobile branded software, I do have VoLTE and VoWiFi icons on International firmware.
7. Haven't had this issue since I don't use WhatsApp. I do not seem to have the problem when making calls via Facebook Messenger. It's a known problem since the 6 and OnePlus knows about it, they just haven't issued a fix yet. Sorry I can't be more help with this.

I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to all my questions! Very kind of you.
As for the VoLTE stuff, maybe I'll continue to do more digging since you say you're seeing the icon but I'm not. That tells me VoLTE is not properly enabled on my device (I assume). Thanks again, much appreciated :highfive:
I can't find it, but there are several threads on enabling VoLTE & VoWIFI.
One involves entering the hidden menu, via *#808#, then toggling the appropriate settings.
That's what I did (USA version). I was on the 9.07 firmware, which didn't support it, but VoLTE
popped up and started working, when the 9.11 version hit.

You are very welcome. You may want to try using the MSM Tool found here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/t-mobile-6t-to-international-t3888307
That's should fix some problems you may be having, especially the VoLTE and VoWiFi issues. I know you're not using the T-Mobile version of the phone, so I'm not sure if this will help you much or not, but a MSM Tool that's meant for your device should work.
OP, I have enabled volte on op6t on Rogers. Fido should work, too. It seems nobody enables WiFi calling on op6t in Canada.

Gave both of these a try and still don't see the volte icon. It's hard to tell if it's enabled even though the icon isn't showing.
I appreciate both your guys' responses though! I didn't know about these additional menus!!
I have the T-Mobile version on T-Mobile and also don't see the VOLTE icon, but if I go to Settings/About Phone/SIM Status, it shows Mobile voice network type LTE. I assume that means VOLTE is enabled.

I'm in the US and I have TMobile as my carrier, and both of VoLTE/VoWiFi enabled by default
Looks like you have the International version of the OP6T. My T-Mobile version doesn't have the Enhanced Communications section in Settings/Wi-Fi & internet/SIM & network and I don't see an Icon Manager screen anywhere either, though I have the WiFi Calling switch.

Mine is TMobile version but I converted it to OOS using this tool: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/t-mobile-6t-to-international-t3888307 in case you're interested.
I've read about that but after rooting/custom ROMing just about every Android device I've ever had (up to the ZTE Blade V8 Pro, anyway), I just don't have the inclination to do it with this phone. Everything works and VoLTE is enabled by default, so I'm fine with that.
I've tried to enable as much as I could (full port switch, VoLTE provisioning, enabled in settings) and still don't see the icon.
Very strange and at this point I'm almost prepared to just accept I won't see that icon lol

I hear ya! I quit rooting since I got the Essential phone. Android stock rom now a days much better so I don't need root either. I just converted this phone so I can use the dual SIM cards and faster updates rather than waiting for TMO.
After making some videos via WhatsApp and Snapchat, my question #7 is starting to become a bigger issue than enabling VoLTE/WiFi
It's very obvious the wrong mic is being used during video records because the audio just sounds terrible.
Seems like a widespread issue since there are many articles about it. Is there any known fix out there for us rooted users?
Hey all, I really need some help, borderline might send this phone back even though I love it so far. GPS location is absolute garbage.
Countless google searches show this issue persisted even back during OnePlus 5 phones. This is my first OnePlus device and I am slowly ( I am patient) having some issues creep up. The GPS issue doesn't have any official fix from my search, only some tricks that work temporarily.
How has OnePlus ignored this for so long?
Waze barely ever GPS locks and when it does its for a few minutes. Google maps is the same way. No amount of reboots, clearing location cache, toggling power savings etc has worked enough for me to say "its fixed". I never experienced this on other devices. This is why I came to XDA (back when I used to flash everything). Has anyone discovered a real fix? Do I have to flash some new ROM to resolve this?

You might want to say TMobile version. But I'm guessing you don't have root access bc TMobile locks the bootloader?
If you had root you could just edit and replace the gpsconfig file
Yes TMobile version it's new just got it a few days ago, untouched. I haven't been in the rom flashing game in awhile, kind of veered off that but your reply tells me that will fix my issue? Is there another thread I missed that explains why that would work?
If so please kindly link me.
I have an update for those having this issue. I have done more testing with GPS locker and noticed random results. It definitely helped usability by 20% but by no l means is this a fix.
GPS locker once locked around 10-15 seconds I open Waze and immediately it loses all connections, it's as if Waze itself is not working right, perhaps it's Android 10 or 5g. Ultimately you can sit and wait and Waze will eventually work for a few minutes or so then die out again.
Google maps was better by about 15% due to GPS locker although it too will from time to time lose GPS and you may end up missing an exit.
Last thing I tried was switching network mobile mode from automatic 2g/3g/lte/5g to the one below that without 5g and noticed considerable improvement but I do not have enough testing time to conclude that works.
No one has GPS issues? It's all honky Dory? There's plenty of threads on this but no bite. I am more curious for those on 7tpro.
I wonder if it's a 5g problem. I have been seeing a similar experience on the note 10+ 5g boards.
https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5...Note10-5G/GPS-loss-when-5G-is-on/td-p/1338709
Is one example,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10+/help/gps-issue-t3965662/amp/
Another.
Anyone with 5g chime in?
I'm having these issues too, I notice it a lot on Waze. Google's cool.

Alright I have confirmed my suspicions with the help of this same issue on the Note 10 5G forums. After I left home today I set my phone on a navigation drive using Waze, it connected right up on 4G LTE (I guess no 5G towers nearby). As I was driving, rock solid for 15 minutes it suddenly connected to 5G, you know what happened next, it disconnected GPS immediately. This confirmed what everyone else is saying. There is a bug or some problem when these new 5G phones switch between 4G lTE -> 5G and back, more specifically, I dont think 5G is ready for prime time when it comes to GPS locking.
I switch my network settings to not search for 5G and GPS with Waze was rock solid. This is indeed the fix / workaround for now when your using navigation apps until Oneplus / T mobile releases a fix. I am more disgusted that these 2 flagships (Note 10 + 5G included) was not properly tested and vetted before marketing shoved it down our throats.
I've noticed the same issues. Although I've posted on Reddit about it.
Waze as an app has issues with GPS if you read the reviews so it's a tough one.
I did do a small test like you in regards to 5g and GPS and it seems to have been better.
Very unfortunate. I'm debating whether to keep the phone and simply put it to 4g or just return and get like a note 10+ (standard 4g) for the time being since 5g seems to have issues
Edit:
Looking at the above linked topic it seems like the issue was fixed with an update for the Galaxy
I wouldn't worry too much, 5G is still new and I am confident they will iron things out. I thought about switching phones too but for what? The other 5g had the same issue(note).
In time it will be fixed, for now when I am on the road I leave it at 4g lte and I am good to go.
confirmed with GPS locker app...
Using GPS locker I can notice the 5G issues like others on my op7Tp 5G ... an easy fix (until this gets addressed by t-mobile) is to disable 5G and use 4G instead :crying:
For some reason it seems to be a oneplus wide issue like you said since the OP5. I had an OP5 damaged the screen and went back to my MI MIX 2. Had 0 issues with my MI MIX 2 other than the weird location of the selfie cam (bottom right of the screen). Recently upgraded to the OP7 pro (non 5g) unlocked version (i know you have the 7t pro but figure we could all help each other) and definitely still have some GPS issues. Google works, however waze is intermittent and especially bad while making phone calls (EX android auto+waze, while hands free talking on the phone).
GPS Locker definitely helps for me. i have it auto-lock then launch waze (settings in the GPS Locker app).
I've also used compass steel app and used it to calibrate the compass in the phone. This also seems to help some.
The only other thing worth investigating i think would be to check a few settings and see how they pan out. Related to the battery optimization settings in android 9 and 10. Adaptive battery (seems to be system wide), and battery optimization options (seems to be app specific) for waze gps locker, etc. Let me know what everyone finds out. Seriously tempted to trade in my OP7 pro if the mi mix 4 looks promising. My Mi Mix 2 was solid and im a huge OP fan....
Maybe it's worth it now to bring this to the OnePlus forum community. When I have time I'll whip something up and link it here so we can add to it. More eyes are needed from there end.

No issues on my end . Tested Waze and Google maps with 5g connection.
I disabled Bluetooth & wifi scanning , not sure if that makes difference

I believe it is worth it. Get enough people with enough devices across different carriers making the issues visible and hopefully someone will fix it!
I've even edited the GPSconfig file to no avail. I would love to get my hands on a similar device (GPS hardware) that is carrier branded and see if that helps the issue. How can I find identical hardware? Maybe a Samsung?

Can you confirm changing your network settings to the second option works for you? Still working for me perfectly.

Yep indeed it does, I've already made a topic about this issue on reddit aswell.
Nice!
I have the tmobile 5g version and gps is horrible. I tried both google maps and Waze. It takes 5 minutes to lock on GPS initially and then while driving it will freeze up and not move for a few minutes (as I get lost) then randomly reconnect and disconnect again. Frustrating since I drive use GPS often in the LA area.
