i noticed a strange problem after i did the following:
1- Configure Face lock for the device and it's working normally
2- connect the device to PC.
3- after using the device normally for about 5 min restart it while connecting to the pc.
i'm not able to unlock it using the face lock anymore as the Front camera isn't working gives black screen even after restart!!! the back one as well!!!
i made data factory reset (twice) and the camera is back to normal.
has anybody been there or tried this before??
this happened to me 2 times after doing the same above steps.
can somebody help
in which mode do you connect your phone to the PC? If its harddrive, the issue might be that the camera cannot access the phone's memory and will not allow you to take picture.

of course not harddrive!
it's only in 'charge only' mode
also if it was like you said, after restart it should be back to normal but it doesn't
and its not about taking a photo, its about the camera itself doesn't work gives me black screen only.
This is the most similar thread I've found to my problem.
I noticed today that my camera isn't working anymore. When I'm starting any camera app the screen is black for a while(some ui elements are still visible). After ~10 sec the screen is covered in multicolored stripes. (cant link image since I'm a new user :/ )
The last time I remember it working was when using front facing camera in skype.
I have tried a couple of other apps, restarted and factory reset the phone with no results.

EDIT:
IMO the problem is missing drivers or smth like this but dunno how it works - i780 its my first phone with windows- (I wont buy more symbian ****s heh)
Just a thought
Do you have a microSD card installed?
If so try running the camera without the card inserted and see what happens.
Maybe a messed up memory card could cause this problem

I´ve got the same problem. The camera is not starting.
But with my i780 the problem are the gpstools "gpsgate" or "portsplitter".
If they are started the camera can not start, if deaktivated the camera
works fine. I have no idea why this happens. Different setups in the
gpstool´s have no result.
b.u.m.p any more ideas?
my camera stopped working after tMan was installed.
Also - once you have a reminder for the alarm
I managed to make the camera working. Problem is same as the first post. Here's my analysis, the camera have some internal battery that needs to be charged, so if you're using the separate charger, the internal battery will not be charged, it will be fully drained and it cannot wake the camera. Therefore you will need to charge the unit directly from a wall charger, not in PC USB since the power from USB is not enough to charge the internal battery. At first stage, the camera was able to turn on but very poor visibility. After some couple of days, the camera is now fully functional. Hope this help.

old thread, but any updates on this problem?
i'm having the same problem.
Tried to update to B117 using the dload folder on the SD card and local update.
[topic here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46062184#post46062184]
The phone restarted, went to the update mode ... and then blank... frozen black. I just took my eyes off it 2 secs. It was writing yellow log lines for the update status, then it was gone.
Given the fact that I get not even a charging amber led when I connect the cable, it seems it's in "coma".
And since the battery is not removable I cannot do the tricks I used to do with my old DHD.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

I think you should download firmware for your mobile and flash it.Put the firmware in sdcard/dload/update.app. by some card reader. Now insert sd card and press vol+ vol- and power button. Install firmware and also go to recovery mode and wipe cache. You can access recovery by pressing vol - and vol + button simultaneously.
If the phone does not turns on then connect it to charger for an hour two and retry.!!
Thanks for trying to help. But ... the phone was frozen black. No response, nor to trying to shut down/power off, nor to charge (no led turned on), nor connecting to PC.
Entering the factory menu (holding + / - and power on) did not work either.
The only option that remained was to disconnect battery. But guess what? )))))
Anyway, I left it several hours ago to the Vodafone Store for troubleshooting. Now, I'm just waiting for them to call me back in a few days.
[Status update]
The phone is still in service (1 week and counting). I assume it's going to have some hardware replaced. If it was just a software issue, this would have been solved way quicker.
I am waiting to see whether it was the same motherboard replacement issue some others mentioned.

In my case before bricking it, I had issues when the phone was charging or connected to USB, it had incredible lags, even scrolling through the home screens. The firmware was B103 or B106. I did not had the chance to try B117.
When it was not connected to any cable everything worked very smooth.

It is clearly stated in any smartphone user manual, that when phone is charging, the phone and the screen can become unresponsive.
Never read the manual ) But still, it's the first device I have, which got this issue. And I've had a few.
I have just picked up the phone from service. They said the main-board was changed, but given the fact that the back plate, bezel are new with the protection films on them, I think it's a new phone. It has the B106 firmware.

i have same problems. after update(update was 100% OK) the phone turn of and after this not turn on. black screen. after 5 hous when i connect the charger was red LED notification light. after this i try turn on and red light turn off. now no any react
Sorry to hear that. You're going to have to go to service. Main-board fried. If it's under warranty you should get a replacement, most probably a new phone.
the phone was bought in CHINA. i do not have warranty, where i can buy mainboard?
When I was using this phone the screen suddenly turned black. No powering off or anything, the phone was nearly fully charged anyway. Nothing seems to be working anymore. I tried turning it back on but it's completely unresponsive. It won't even charge anymore. I was wondering if there was any solutions to this and if other people where having this problem or did my phone just brick itself
Are you able to get to the bootloader? by pressing volume + and power at the same time. It may be worth trying to flash stock also. I am no expert its just what I would try.

Hello there. I have the same problem, phone suddenly stopped to show anything on the screen, it is comleptely black. Tried to reflash few original roms, without a succsess. Replacing lcd did also not solved the problem. Did anyone find a solution?

Did you try to format + reflash using spflash? Check out my video walk thru.

Of course I did. But at no avail. Today, I found out, that the new screen is partially working. I can see very dark picture, it means, I have no back light. Tried to set it up from engineers mode, but no luck.
So the new screen is on, but without back light, and the phone heats pretty much in the top area.

If so. Try to pull down the statusbar and swipe a bit under the statusbar line, in the top of the screen from left to right, with some luck you will tap the brightness switcher

I can connect to the phone through Vysor, and when I change the brightness level there, there is no change at all. The Phone does not react to any settings change at all.
Tried eragon rom, but still no change....

Better hope you still have your garantie, because theres legit no way to restore it. You just have to send it back for it to get fixed. This happened to me once and yesterday twice. sadly I am to dissapointed from this. I am never buying an Elephone again ! PS bro it isnt worth sending this hell of a **** peace back. It costs and the blackscreen thing is gonna happen again in 6-8 months. SO go out there and buy yourself a real phone not this bull****. I have to do the same rn.

Just happened to me with my 3 year old phone. Left overnight with enough charge. Pressed the side button and nothing - held it down to restart and then complete blank.
Repalced the battery about 1 month ago with one from AliExpress for £5.
So using the kit provided with the battery or a watchmakers screwdriver - undo the 12 tiny screws and remove the white surround and then the inner back with the phone's number on it. Next disconnect the battery socket but be careful as it is tiny - use a torch and magnifier if vision not good. Remove the sim card. Wait 10 minutes - did this with the blue light flashing - it stopped finally on disconnection.
Put it all back together and hey presto fully working phone
Dear,
So I have my phone for 2 weeks now and suddenly my screen creates these black/green/white/blue lines on my phone and my phone screen was full of it, I couldn't see anything so I restarted the phone by holding my power button, it restarted and on boot some of these lines occurred again. I decided to download a game to test my phone (Need for speed No limit) and I saw like some graphical glitches and also suddenly my phone went to invert colors without me turning the option on in quick settings or accessibility.
I'll take a look how often I get these and will probably just go to the store where I bought it, or is there a quick for this?
Still on Android 6.0 no root.
It's most likely a hardware issue and you're best to return it to the store you got it and get a new one.

Does this happen on boot animation too? ( the google and android loading logo ) If yes, then it's probably caused by faulty lcd and/or lcd cable. If not, then something is wrong with the software.

I am experiencing this issue as well. I get it most of the time on boot. If i leave it on the glitchy screen long enough, the phone will just reboot.
I have LGG3 D855 MM stock rom, before I've had fulmics rom and that's when the problem started happening, figured a clean wipe and going back to stock rom would solve the issue but it didn't.
Flashlight won't work, tried other camera apps but it always fails.
Sometimes the camera starts working for a fraction of a second then it seizes to work and freezes the whole phone making it restart.
Figured it might be a hardware problem, but can a hardware problem with the camera freeze the phone? I don't really know, sorry.
Can anyone please help?
Update 1: Tried re-rooting the device and installing fulmics rom, still no luck, tried installing V10 camera app, nothing new.
Update 2: Front camera works sometimes but the image seems stretched, also it crashes after seconds and goes to black screen then freezes the whole phone sometimes making it restart by itself.
Tried the force stop and clearing cache and data trick in both camera and gallery and still no luck.
sounds like a hardware issue like a bad mainboard or connections loose or something, did the phone get wet? have u checked the camera connections with phone apart?

I've actually replaced the rear camera but am still having the same problem only without the phone restarting, maybe it's a problem with some wiring I guess? Any suggestions please?
Also, the phone never got wet.
