that's cool man, lol....but hey thanks for the link, I actually found the thread with the official latest RUU and just ran the exe.....thanks though!!!

Had the same problem on my phone. took it to an actual sprint repair center and they replaced the lcd.

First off, sorry, I know this is a dying thread buuuut instead of starting a new one I was wondering;
If you haven't taken your phone in could you post a pic, as best you could, of the burn? I thought this was an issue with my screen as well, but when I took my phone in to the Service Repair Center to have this random reboot issue looked at I brought this up. Guy said it was from pressing too hard on the screen .... now I know I've seen LCD monitors that have had this issue, the result of someone smashing their finger into the screen and it sort of looked like this, but I'm positive this isn't the case.
I've seen pictures of others and it looks like mine, so that's what I thought it must be. Guy basically said, with all confidence, that that was the issue. Then he proceeded to tell me to not put the phone in my back pocket and sit on it. Well, no ****. Unless someone sat on my lap and did this, which is unlikely as I would have instantly removed the phone (also the spot probably would have been bigger) so I'm sure that isn't the case. But I couldn't really argue with the guy seeing as to them, the customers never know what they're talking about.
So I guess, long story short guy said he couldn't replicate my reboot issue and said a new battery would fix it. Suffice to say, that wasn't the case and I was able to replicate the issue in 3 minutes once I charged the new battery up. But; could a picture be posted? I've seen pics, now I'm searching and I'm not finding anything .... here and over the interwebs.
If this thread dies, that's fine, am pretty much at the point I'm just going to go through insurance anyways to avoid any run around.
Thanks if ya can, and if not, no big deal.

sure I'll try and post a picture later.....now on mine it's more noticable on a white screen but it can still be seen on darker screens.....it looks like 2 more may be popping up as well.....I may get **** for this, but I have the best buy insurance and I just took it up to them and they are going to send it in for repair or may junk it out for a new one (im waiting to be called back until they have a loaner phone)

Cool man, yeah I too really only notice it on white / lighter screens. Like I said I guess it could be from pressure but another pic I had seen looked similar so that's why I think that's the case, even though he sounded pretty sure. And I wouldn't sit on my phone lol I baby my electronics to the point of it being almost ridiculous. Thanks for the response.

Camera Issue

I just recently bought a used black myTouch 3G Slide, and it is in excellent condition. I only have 1 problem though...... My camera isn't working correctly. I have done some searching online, but I have found no solutions. Everyone seems to replace their phone by T-Mobile. Unfortunately I can't do that since I didn't get the warrant from the guy I bought it from. : / In an attempt to fix this problem I loaded a custom ROM. Cyanogen Mod 6 is amazing, but it didn't fix my problem. I even tried downloading FXCamera from the market, but still nothing. Looking around the net it seems XDA is one of the best forums for android users. Can anyone please assist me, or possibly link something that will help me fix this annoying problem?
Btw, hello everyone at XDA! I'm looking forward to learning a lot from this forum!

I myself probably cannot help, but I can be helpful!
From looking around, I think it might help others here if you describe what exactly is going on with the camera.
Is the screen blank? Does it force close? Can you take pictures, but they don't save or maybe they save as black image? What happens?
I hope that there's some sort of fix for you, since I can't help... but I can try to get more insight into the issue from you... and bump the thread so people can see and maybe help out!

When I take a picture it doesn't focus. Pictures up close are really good quality, but anything that is not right in front of the camera is blurry. I have auto focus on, and tried manually focusin but no luck. I hold my hand still, and I hold down the picture button to focus. It still takes crap pictures.

Sounds like a hardware issue to me, your focus is stuck/broken. Warranty replacement maybe?

Not to be an ass, but did you read my post? I said I bought it from someone on craigslist, and I don't have a warranty.

Yeah I didn't see that at first, sorry. Then aside from buying a broken slide off ebay and salvaging the camera from it and manually installing it into your phone, or paying tmobile to repair it, you're out of luck.

I agree with MusicMan374, it sounds like a hardware issue if you have auto focus on or it doesn't respond when you select what item to focus on using the screen (stock rom)

HTC One X Camera fault

Hi all,
first post here. I've been sucking info from this site for the past year so thank you all for all your helpful info.
I have just bought a HTC one x from a friend with a faulty camera. I was wondering if anyone has come across this fault before. when using the main camera. the screen goes green like it's crashed. all messed up. I don't think it is a hardware fault but then I haven't read this fault anywhere yet.

Yep well known issue.
Its mainly when flash is on right?
This isn't hardware I don't think mate, it is a software bug.

You mean like a disorted Display ?

No, what he means is the whole screen is green, can't see anything, which basically means the camera crashed and is either undetectable or damaged, or a kernel problem

yeah..i also have this pb..when I make a photo with flash everything is green..also after I make the photo also the green thing is on the screen(while I 'm in camera)...

Yes thats what i mean. Cant see or do anything. green crashed screen. ive flashed it back to stock and its still the same so im guessing it is damaged camera. painful as camera is on main board to cant really replace it or fix it in any way.

Has anyone else come across this problem? I'm debating weather to just sell it on ebay to recoup some of my money. its definitely not the same issue as the green kind of filter that occurs quite a lot with the camera. I posted it as i couldn't find any posts anywhere about this issue.

it s related to KERNEL.. on ICS is find..so it's a software pb.

If it is, I replaced camera, nothing, flashed rom, nothing, not sure if hardware or software yet, but i changed HBOOT and Flashed ARHD 21.0, and NOTHING happens.. still green :\

[Q] nedd advice from the WARRANTY PROS!!!

Hey everyone first post so plz be gentle lol but i bought my AT&T note 4 out right and didnt realize until after the 15 warranty from walmart went out that my camera was messed up and my phone is really slow sluggish and just not performing like i hoped it would . So i was wondering is there any Warranty loop holes or do the Pros no what i can do about getting my camera fixed? Is there a Samsung warranty or something?

What is the camera doing that makes you think it's messed up? What android version are you running?
We need more answers before we can tell you what to do.

One year manufactures warranty....Call samsung

camera doesn't focus instantly
​i read that the phone is the first to have moving parts and it should fous as soon as it opens but mine doesnt. I have to bump the side and my phon3 lags quite a bit when switching between apps

Where did you read that about the camera? (link please) I have never seen such a statement, in fact just the opposite nothing innovative except perhaps the "selfie" feature. (good camera, good stabilization)
http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/samsung-galaxy-note-4-1263301/review/6
If it is lagging I would have thought you would see that before 15 days return? Perhaps it isn't lagging and is working as it is designed?
Best bet is what already has been posted, go through Samsung.

I have the same problem with my camera trying to focus. Takes up to a minute sometimes. I've read in forums to have samsung replace it. I'm gonna try to go to att first and see what they say. It is a known issue.

Camera not focusing

Hey,
Anyone had or got issues with the rear camera not focusing?
It takes ages to focus and I mean 3+ minutes.
It won't do it when I tap on the screen either.

Using OOS or a custom rom?

I have the same issue also. Apparently it's a known hardware issue Contact OP for RMA

I'm using FreedomOS

i have the same issue OOS latest Beta.

Install the latest OOS stable and if it doesn't work, contact Oneplus and explain the problem. If it's a hardware problem they have to fix it (if you still have warranty).

****, I just noticed my camera has problems to start focusing. The whole picture strangely waves durning focusing. But it will focus after a couple of seconds.

I had this problem, and it nearly drove me to getting a new phone. It followed me through OS updates and many different ROMs. Not much help on the threads here, either.
My problem was that the camera would constantly try to refocus, and would never focus on the foreground...things in the background were clear, but nothing in the foreground. Videos were horrible, constant refocusing and blurring. Didn't work in 3rd party apps like check deposit on my bank app, Snapchat, etc.
I found a YouTube video of a hardware repair that seemed ridiculous, but it actually fixed the issue for me. It's not too hard to do if you don't want to wait for an RMA from OnePlus...but it literally involved sticking a staple between a magnet in the phone and the camera module. If you don't feel comfortable opening your phone up, I wouldn't attempt it, but my camera has been working perfect since I did this redneck fix.
here's a link to the video. Watch it first before trying, and if it seems like it's too much, you may have to do an RMA.
I didn't want to believe it was a hardware issues either, but this honestly did fix it for me.
Good luck!

Has anyone else tried @Redjax workaround. I'm going crazy. My camera focus problems are getting worse.
Also, has anyone of you tried a camera replacement. If so, which one, share the link.
I'm thinking on trying the staple mod first before ordering a replacement.

This problem drove me crazy. I replaced the camera 2 days ago and now camera focuses perfectly, I did try the staple mod before this but I would sometimes focus, but not all the time.

Yeah, I thought so. The staple mod is just a temporary solution. Guess I'll order a replacement. Could you share the one you purchased?

Thanks mate. Finally got my replacement module and just installed it. Although it took forever to arrive and tearing down the phone wasn't as easy as YouTube makes it look, my camera is perfect again and I'm on love of my OP3 once again :good:

I was facing the same issue from couple of months. It started after a system update, don't remember the version tough.
So visited the service center today, the people there already had info about this issue. They replaced the camera module free of cost, even after my phone warranty is over! OnePlus knew the problem and they are fixing it for free.
I got my OP3 serviced at Pune, India.
