Just picked up a brand new Verizon Nexus off of craigslist for cheap. Guy that was selling it new nothing about it. Said the camera wont open. When going to open camera it says "Unfortunately Camera Has Stopped" or something like that. Did a factory reset and still same thing.
Im a current HTC Rezound user. I know nothing about Samsung phones. Although i did fix a buddies Galaxy 3G once.
Anybody have any ideas? Should i reload stock software or something?
I'd flash the stock rom, or any rom for that matter

I downloaded the Toolkit v7.2 and the stock imm76k firmware version. Im lost on what i do next to reload the factory image. Can you help me out?
Okay got it figured out. Still no camera. It has to be a hardware problem then right? Did i get screwed?
You, my friend, got screwed. It is, in fact, a hardware issue and your only choices are to get your money back from the guy (not likely), take it to a repair shop and have them take a look, sell it to someone else (shady), or deal with it. I had the same camera issue with my Infuse 4G. No software fix. Just broken hardware. Sorry to hear you got cheated, though.

Hey
I had some issues with the Touchscreen of my GNex, i thought it was nothing special, because i had something similiar on my xoom too but it only occurred 1 time on it.
Then i've tested the GNex for some Days and i'm now very sure it's a hardware defect, but i want to know what you think of it.
I'll try to describe it a bit:
Sometimes (i sadly don't know when or why) it launches a line of touch-inputs rapidly on the right side of the screen. It's really annoying because it starts a bunch of apps or commands...it even shuts down my alarm in the morning sometimes.
The big problem is, i'm on Vacation for 2 weeks soon...means i can't give it back to warranty now...maybe there is a way to disable the sensetivity of the touchscreen because these inputs are very light. With a testapp i was able to see that it's half as "heavy" as when i tap the screen with a finger.
I've attached a vid of it, maybe someone could say if this happens on their GNex too...i doubt no. (The vid is not that good, please apologize)
Link: http://goo.gl/QnTy7 (Sorry Attachment doesn't work somehow)
No one out there with a idea what's wrong with my gnex? :-(
I would go to verizon and see if there is anyway they could give you a replacement considering your circumstances. Or maybe they would give you a loaner phone while yours is being serviced.
Does it look a bit like this behavior?

I would get a replacement phone from T-Mobile but that would be a real old phone and I have a nexus s here so maybe use this.
But would be nice to know if it's a hardware defect or if it's fixable....
I'll try to exchange it after my vacation.
Yes it's the same behaviour as in that video. I uploaded one too in the first post and mine is only a bit more right on the screen...
I'm really disappointed because my nexus s has some defects too and I'm curious if all Google devices has some defects....
Thanks for the answers
0 defects on my Nexus S
0 defects on my Galaxy Nexus
damn thats gotta suck :s
maybe flash any custom rom? hope you have your bootloader unlock or any pc close
I'm using CM9 since I got the GNex, will try reflashing it tomorrow with full wipe. Will report then.
Hope it's only the ROM, the screen works perfectly aside from this.
I didn't know you were running I custom rom, I would definitely try and do a full wipe and load the rom again or a different one.
The problem on my gnex went away after the ota update from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2.

I'm using CM9, latest nightlys. Did a full wipe and reflashed from scratch, same problem... maybe try stock or other rom when i'm back home..
Didn't want this to be my first post, but whats up.. Just coming from a Verizon Droid X , I love this phone EXCEPT the fact that the GPS just doesn't work.. I didn't even notice until after I flashed CM10 the first day. It find's 20+ satellites with the GPS status app, it just NEVER locks on to any of them and in Maps my phone thinks I am in N.C. when i'm in NYC.. I tried flashing other ROMS, I tried different kernels, I tried flashing a GPS fix through CWM I found here on XDA, I even tried flashing back to the stock OTA and kernel via Odin.. I've tried everything and still NOTHING!!! I bought the phone new in the box from a dude on Craigslist so I can't exactly take it to AT&T since I have no warranty and I am using Straight Talk (which kinda sux btw)... Not really sure what to do, i'm usually good at troubleshooting but i'm stuck.. Any advice would be super welcome!! Thanks.. I feel like such a n00b hahaha!!!
Just call samsung . They'll take care of you

I would have to agree, if the GPS radios aren't working on stock it sounds like you have a bum device. If the problem is that severe it shouldn't be any problem to reproduce at the store where you purchased to device to have it replaced under warranty.
Yupp, thanks guys.. I think i'm gonna take it back to an AT&T store and see what they can do for me.. Only thing is I tripped the flash counter, its on 2 right now. I understand Triangle Away app takes care of that which I downloaded, but I don't know if I need to be rooted to run that app. I'm back to full stock unrooted right now.. Does anyone know??
As i have never used the app I can't say for sure that it requires root, although i do suspect it would. Certainly its worth the extra 15 minutes or so to root the device, triangle away, and then flash back to stock if it is going to cost you a warranty claim on an obvious hardware defect that is no fault of your own :good:.
Awesome.. Well I reverted back to stock and derooted. I then take it to an AT&T service center to replace, but they tell me they can't because I don't have an AT&T number.. I'm using Straight Talk but it runs on AT&T networks, whats the difference. It was payed for full price 3 weeks before at an AT&T store!!! Bunch of jerks.. Guess i'm stuck calling Samsung themselves, lets see where this one goes..
btw, they say that yes it has defective hardware.. Awesome I got the broken one!!! Just my luck...

I didnt notice the part about craigslist the first time i read your post, ouch...that sucks man. I'm not sure how the manufacturer warranty works with multiple owners, but the hardware is covered for a year through them...maybe leave out the part about craigslist hey.

Haha yea I'm definitely leaving the part out about craigslist. I'm just gonna say my friend bought it for me as a gift.. I'm sure there'll be no problem concerning warranty, its a brand new phone for christ' sake!! Funny, my phone now thinks i'm in Florida.. Hilarious
Good luck with that, hows the weather down there this time of year?
Hey guys,
I have had my nexus for about a year now and am very happy with it, its been working very well until a few days ago.
I went to turn my WiFi on, and noticed that it was not doing anything, or rather just idleing on "turning WiFi on". My first instinct was to turn it off and on again... Nope. Reflash of ROM ... No luck . reflash or radio and kernel ... Still nothing . reverted back to completely stock, unrooted android still Nada. I am in the process of getting it sent back to Samsung, but was wondering if any of you guys would be able to help me not having to send it off for weeks to the repair center. Has anyone encountered this bug and sorted it ? Lots of threads about it but no solutions .
Cheers !
Same issue since yesterday on my GNX
I am experiencing exactly the same behavior on my Galaxy Nexus since yesterday afternoon. Curiously, also yesterday marked exactly one year since I got my hands on the then brand new Galaxy Nexus.
Galaxy Nexus in my case, *suddenly NOT being able to turn WiFi on, *having the phone while on the WiFi screen settings just stating: "Turning Wi-Fi on" but it actually never does... so, obviously, WiFi doesn't work ?
3G, phone calls, and all the rest apps,etc. do work fine. *This happened yesterday, suddenly, *I was using tethering for some time, when I finished turned tethering off and WiFi stillw worked fine.
My GN is rooted, but it is running Jelly Bean 4.2.2 stock, I have never put a 3rd party ROM in this phone.
There are many threads out there (xda-developers and others) that state that this started happening to lots of users of GN in the last few weeks, 1 month or so, *Many report having this issue on GN with a little of over 1 year.... weird!

Try a different ROM, preferably one on a different version of Android, so if you're on 4.2 flash a 4.1 ROM.
If that doesn't work, sounds like the chip is broken (?), hell I wouldn't bother Samsung, I'd use it as an excuse to get a new phone, one with easy-to-get accessories and Qi perhaps?

Did that, have flashed tons of new ROMs, Cyanogen, some others and stock, several versions of each. Seems the WiFi chip is broken or, there is something loose inthe mainboard, antennae or circuitry. Yeah, great excuse to get a new Nexus, but, anyway, I paid some good money for the brand new Galaxy Nexus it barely worked exactly one year before breaking out of nowhere.
I have read and seen some others with exactly the same situation. It seems like it is a manufacture defect on the Galaxy Nexus devices.
Just ordered a Galaxy S4 through Verizon Edge and if I'm understanding correctly, the old phone has to be traded in. Currently the phone is rooted and running Chillybean's CM10.2 ROM. Do I need to return the phone to stock and "un-unlock" it in order to avoid any problems with Verizon?

I've heard mixed reports. If it's something you can easily do, then I say do it. At the very least, flash a "stock" Rom. I doubt they seriously inspect the device, but I could be wrong.
Wound up flashing a stock PG32IMG.zip image in recovery mode. Might still be S-OFF but are they really gonna know?

Not to bump an old thread like this, but how'd it work out?? I'm on Edge too and am about to order the LG G3. I have every intention of rooting it obviously.
Thanks in advance!

They haven't contacted me to complain or confirm receipt, so I guess they were happy enough with it?

The Verizon store closest to me isn't an "official" branch or something so I had to mail it. I hope whoever gets my old phone finds his way to this forum and gets his Jellybean on! I really HATED Gingerbread.
Hey just received my note 4, noticed that it's having an issue. Is it normal? Anyone know how to fix it?
Here's another u can see clearly

Not normal at all. Seems like you have a defective unit. Exchange it while you can!
rooted or any mods? looks software based. try factory reset
Stock. Literally just got it then I updated software. I'll try that.
i went into settings and did a factory data reset. no go. didnt fix it. =( this sucks.
take back to verizon then its junk
i used odin to stock nj5 and it fixed the problem! =) thanks everyone.
Problem came back. I called Verizon they said I could walk in store to exchange it. I got a new one and now I'm good.

Good decision. A new phone should work flawlessly without you having to do anything. Glad it worked out!
I had the same issues cone to find out the digitizer was messed up
