Why does the camera randomly not work? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Sometimes when recording a video, there are vertical lines. And, sometimes when I initiate the camera app, there's just a black screen. Any of these issues fixable? Running stock 2.3.6

Does it do this with other camera apps?

OP i have the same problem im sending it to samsung for repair

Haven't tried with other apps cause I actually love the stock camera.
I have an HTC Evo and an eee-pad docking station that's currently put for repair..... This issue isn't that much of a deal for me to send back. Guess I'll just deal with it.

Maybe you should try an ICS rom such as stock rooted fe22 and see if the camera still acts up?

Thb.... Kinda nervous to root cause this device could be hard bricked.... Lol. Would rather just wait for the official ics release

I'm finding that hard to believe...lol
But it's not Google+'s problem.
Driver issues.
Have him take his phone back.
Well I don't see why he would lie.... but I'll suggest it to him.

Maybe he's not lying but doesn't know which way is up?
Some people are vertically challenged you know.
I'm pretty sure that isn't the issue. But thanks for trying.

Which phone did he have? I believe some phones have this problem when sending video through the ffc.

This. The HTC EVO had this problem running CM7

one of you is using a custom ROM that broke it. probably him.
I had an issue similar to this with Fring once. I as using an SGS running CM7 and my GF was on an X-Play with stock 2.3. I know it's not SGN related, but I've seen upside down video before. Never fixed it.
sorry for the off topic, but can we start a video chat from our phone only with g+? I never tried video chat of any kind and wanted to try it but have nobody else i know using g+...
Yes you can use g+ to video chat if Tue other person has g+.... I have a fully stock gnex and he has a 4g evo... I told him it was his phone and he kept blaming mine...either way just thought I would see if anyone else had this issue

I'm seeing the same results

My wife's phone and my phone have exactly the same issue you're describing.
I've logged the issue here:
productforums.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/google-plus-discuss/1nCabs7zTns
Google+ Build version 3.0.1.32017166 running on Android 2.3.5. (4.67.651.3) (Sprint).
and Google+ Build version 3.0.1.32017166 running on Android 2.3.7 (CyanogenMod 7.2.0) also running on EVO via Sprint.
It could very well be an EVO issue.

Tapatalk slows and crashes alot

Are you guys finding the tapatalk app slowing down lagging, and crashing?
It does on my s3

Yes. That and the damn back button takes me all the way back to the front page instead of taking me back to the previous folder.
That and the damn pics won't load!

It's a known issue on the SIII. Complain lots and they may release an update

When it slows down on my phone, I kill and restart the app. Not convenient, but it seems to get things moving at a reasonable speed again. Very annoying.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
I have noticed this problem as well. I have been running sammy based roms lately and wonder if this is also happening on CM9/CM10/AOKP? Is everyone experiencing this problem running sammy or is this widespread across all gs3 rom variants. Just trying to narrow the problem down.
No issues here. Running aokp cm9

Does it just not turn on at all? Sounds like your Bluetooth is not functional if it doesn't even work in stock ota

I doubt its bad luck nine dif phone I'm doing something wrong I'm sure but wat cause I even went back to completely stock no root or anything took the ota same thing no bluetooth
Edit: I should also add that I'm new to samsungs and odin/mobile odin etc. I've dealt mostly with htc
Edit: i got 2 more first one i update to ics ota no bluetooth 2nd one i got was already ics with working bluetooth i downgraded to el29 then did the same process as all the other phones but this one works????
Edit: ok so the one phone I got that was already on ics Bluetooth works but its white my personal phone is black I wanted to keep it black but have Bluetooth working so I swap motherboards but then Bluetooth didnt work once it was in the black housing nor did the white one anymore I restored them both to el29 then upgraded back to ics now Bluetooth works on the white phone again with the motherboard from my black phone but still dont work on my black phone even though the mother board in my black phone worked in the white housing, I then realized if I put the motherboard from any of the other phones ive tried in that white housing Bluetooth will work. Is it the antenna? If so y would i have so many with bad antennas plus they all work on gb

[Q] Camera not working.

I bought this phone a few months ago and knew ahead of time the camera had previous issues. Thing is, it appears to be both hardware AND software related. The front camera works for face unlock in certain roms. The camera app on any rom results in it opening but when pressing anything in the camera I get a freeze and a force close. Same goes for any app that tries to use the led flash. Has anyone had something similar to this issue? Im curious what the cause is, also, has anyone tried physically swapping the part out and can give any tips?

Seems to be a hardware issue. Have you tried checking the connection on the motherboard? I have never had issues with software unless I forgot to check hardware connections.

Yeah I just ordered a tool kit with the screws required. Gonna take a look at it and hopefully If it works I can turn quite a profit. I bought this phone for 40 dollars.

Took the phone apart and checked the camera. I replugged it back in and it still did not work. Order a new camera for 10 dollars on ebay and will try again.

If that doesn't work, you should do a one click restore to stock. That could possibly fix it.

Update : Ordered a new camera, came about 10 minutes ago in the mail. I replaced it and everything is working fine. For future reference. I'd the back camera does not work, neither will the flash. My flash did not work until I replaced the faulty camera.

Front facing camera problem

Not sure when this started I just so happen to check the front facing camera but... When the epic is closed the front facing camera shows a green screen. When the epic is open it works fine. Does anybody know what the problem could be? Anybody ever had this problem?
Does the same on all roms.

Sorry for the late response, I didn't even know you responded. lol
It stopped working altogether now. Don't really matter, I hardly ever used it... I hear they're doing great things with the moto g, I may be moving to that.
