Several times i encountered this with my phone. I first noticed it 3 days after getting it.
Its as if the camera got physically disconnected.
Its not app dependent, if i try to go to another camera app it just wont show anything on the screen.
Restart usually helps
Has anyone else encountered this? What should i do?
Exchange that immediately.

When i was in the store, the camera worked and i hadn't done the screenshots yet. Will they believe me just based on the screenshots if the cam happens to be working at the moment
If it's working now you might have to fight a little bit more but I believe the screen shots are certainly pretty evident all in themselves.

Snap a shot with another camera holding the phone whilst displaying that messege and they cant argue with that!

I had this same camera issue with my first (1 week old) Galaxy Nexus phone. At first the issue only happened occasionally, then starting occurring more frequently with each passing day. I would suggest exchanging it immediately, as I did.

OK, my first day with this phone yesterday, it locked up when using the xda app. Today, it locked up twice while using the xda app. Its never locked up on anything else so far, though it could be a coincidence. Each time I had to remove the battery. Has anyone else experienced the same thing? If its a defect with my phone, I can still file this phone as a defective unit. On a side note, I had a galaxy note before this phone for 2 weeks and not once did it ever lock up.

Probably app. It happened a lot on my last phone. Less so on the nexus.

it froze the first time i launched it. but now i havent seen it stall at all
Definitely the app. Have the same issue here, and on my previous two HTC phones. Only other apo I have crash sometimes is handcent, although I've heard a recent update has caused that to FC a lot on all phones, so no issue really.
Certainly no issue with you phone, XDA app has needed some tlc for a long time.

I just got a used Epic Touch 4g from Cowboom. Today is the first day using it and I really like it. However I am having some weird issues. While the phone is on and I am either in a browser (Dolphin, Stock) or an app the 4 capacitve buttons will light up automatically. Then sometimes after they light up at the bottom of the screen the Options menu will show up. When this happens the phone haptic feed back goes off.
Anyone know what is going on and possibly a solution before returning? I really don't want to return this phone.
I'm having the exact same issue. It started doing this since I installed the "official" ICS. I didn't have this issue with GB. I have not gone back to GB since I really like ICS...

Same here I noticed this randomly since I have been on Official ICS.
Has this phone been out for over a year? Since I bought it used I don't know if there is any manufacturer's warranty left on it. I didn't purchase insurance.
I had the same issue for months but only when cell service was crappy. They replaced the screen at the Sprint store and it never happened again.

I had something similar going on. I called Sprint a few times and ended up going into one of the stores with a service center. I left it for about 45 minutes and the guy said the cable that connects the front capacitive buttons had come loose. I haven't had any issues like this in two months, simple fix. Also, I had an ICS rom on the device prior to the official release and the guy didn't say a thing.
Good luck.

How long has this phone been out? Is there a one year manufacturers warranty? I may need to see if I can take advantage of that since I didn't purchase insurance.
this is a known issue, if you search the forum you'll find lots of examples of it, most have just taken it to sprint, even w/o insurance they probably fix it/swap it out for the $35 as this seems to be a common problem

I thought this was a common problem with AOSP builds.
It only happens to me when I lose signal.
But this is a hardware problem?

Yeah this is the first time I heard about it being a hardware (screen) issue too. I never had it happen across all GB ROMs, and just about every leaked ICS build. I didn't experience it until I flashed CM9.

the button lockup is common in ics, the menu presses are the hw issue....

I haven't experienced any button lockups, only phantom menu button spam when I hit a extremely low signal. This only happened to me in the 10 months I've owned this phone, after flashing CM9.
I've noticed this when plugged into a car charger and using navigation in spotty service areas. I always thought it was a heat/capacitance issue.

i work in the sprint store and in the past few days we have gotten at least 4 people with an epic touch still running gingerbread (with no option to update to ics) having issues with the bottom buttons not responding, touch screen acting weird, vibration activating sporadically, and with one case the media scanner runs in a loop. the only way to solve these issues have been to factory reset. but could only be temporary. the customers havnt returned. these issues have not just been happening on older devices but recent activation's.
is this a common issue? is there a fix? (without rooting!) we are a sprint store. we cant promote that lol
Check your same thread over in q&a...

I just activated my phone yesterday morning. I am getting very similar issues as the OP. See here. The 4 capacitive buttons when they light up won't respond for a few minutes on mine also. Then the 'Options' button shows up.

Sounds like a batch of bad software flashes from the warehouse. Probably just need reflashed?
FYI, our store hasn't seen this

I thought the same thing but its been mostly from well established customers. It may have just been a coincidence but I'll see how this week turns out. The factory resets seem to have fixed the issues. Just could have been gingerbread getting confused after being used for awhile lol. Which brings me to another question.. is there any way to push the ics update to an epic touch that's still on gingerbread without Odin. Keep in mind this is a sprint store and we are very limited on our resources

I'm new to this phone, bought it two days ago and just rooted it today. Ever since I got the phone there's always been a 1-2 sec delay from the time I press the power button to when the screen unlocks. I've searched around but every thread I've found turns into a bunch of mindless arguing over to whether it's a problem or not. I would just like to know if there's a way to get rid of it or if it's something I just have to learn to live with. Any help and advice is greatly appreciated :]
I've never noticed / never takes more than a second from push power to unlocked screen.

There is no fix other than changing the minimum cpu but that would drain your battery. I guess the issue has gone unnoticed for me after using this phone for about a nine months.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
It could be noticeable when coming from other devices but if you have stuck with Samsung for your smartphones for sometime it will probably go unnoticed. I thought that too when I first came over.

Just got the ATT Galaxy Note 8.0 and have a slight issue with the screen freezing momentarily
while trying to scroll.
About once an hour or so I will try to scroll the screen with my finger and it wont move.
Lifting my finger and placing it back on the screen will get scrolling again. This has happened 3-4 times in the
browser and market so far.
Device is not rooted.
Is this normal ?
I only got the device on 6-24-2013 so I can exchange it if I need to.
Thanks
Same here and I have the latest firmware as well.
Really annoying.

Glad to know I'm not the only one having this issue. I'm assuming it can be fixed with a software update.... at least I hope so
Same here, and yeah, glad to know this is a feature, not an issue
Same problem on the wi-fi model I just purchased. Also glad to know it's not just me lol.
+1, not that this does any good... For me, it doesn't even have to be scrolling. I could be on the launcher and this still happens.

I'm seeing this as well. AndI don't remember experiencing this before the update!
Edit: Never mind, I didn't realize there was another update. Maybe this update fixes the lag caused by the last one. Thanks for the tip!

Same for me. My version is the wifi version. I didn't have this problem until the latest firmware update. I started a thread a few days ago.
It is good to know that this is a pervasive issue. I hope it gets fixed quickly.

I exchaged mine out just in case, new one still has the same issue.
Same problem here, although I resolved mine by taking a couple of news app widgets of a home screen. Was having a few redraw problems cured that as well
I assume it's issues with cloud agent or the s-pen detection.

I can definitely say that the new update did not make any difference. I hope that samsung will fix this problem soon.

Seems to be just the capacitive input that is freezing. When i use the s,pen it doesn't seem to freeze at all. I tried scrolling with my finger and as soon as it freezes switched to the pen and it worked ok so I think it's the capacitive part of the screen that has the problem.

That was my observation as well. Samsung said they would get my Note 8 back in a week. I'll be interested to see the problem crops up again.
