Phone shuts down when taking pictures with flash - Samsung Galaxy W I8150

Hi everybody! I open this thread because I have a problem that I can't resolve: months ago I switched to CM 10.1 from stock ROM and I had that since 2 days ago (when arco68 told that soon he wouldn't develop this ROM for this phone anymore). So I had CM 10.1 alpha1 to alpha6, but my problem started from alpha3: in fact when I installed this release my camera starts shutting down the phone when taking pictures with flash (no matter at what resolution pictures where taken or if the flash was automatic or permanent), but only with battery under about 80% and it didn't appened when the phone it was in charge. So I read a lot of posts where people said it was a battery problem: since mine was one year old and it was rounded I replaced it with a new original one. Unfortunately the problem persisted, so I posted this problem in the thread relative to CM 10.1 ROM and I realized that other people had this problem, except that a lot of them resolve it buying a new battery (LIKE I DID!). So I waited for other releases with the hope it was a ROM problem...since Alpha6, when I realise that it wasn't resolved. So I decided to change ROM to see if it was a ROM problem and I installed a GB-based ROM: Mission ROM. But when I went to camera to take a picture with flash it appened again. So I wanted to know if it was a custom-ROM problem and I reinstalled STOCK ROM from the NANDROID BACKUP I made before installing CM 10.1. Unfortunately the problem continues to persist and it's strange, because It didn't happen before in my stock ROM. The only thing I think It could be it's that the flashlight installed on CM 10.1 broke the LED circuit because I try the full power option (or something like this, I can't remember) and there was a warning. But the strange thing is that I tried with all the 3 ROMs to keep LED on with a widget and the phone never shut down, no matter what was the battery percentage. So I wrote this post to ask someone if there is a reason for this strange behaviour and if it is a solution.
Thank you all

yesterday, i faced this problem, but my rom isnt cm10 by arco, my rom is simplified GB with s3 looks v2
at first i was shocked, and then i try to flash back into stock rom, and the LED works fine
my advice is you must flash your w into another cusrom or even stock rom and wait for the dev's solve this problem

Unfortunately I have already tried 2 custom ROM, and now I have recovered my stock ROM and the problem isn't gone...

me too sometime face same problem !! in more roms not one or too !

There are new develops! Today I noticed that the phone shuts down when taking pictures with flash only if the brightness of the display is over 50%: under this value taking pictures with flash don’t cause the phone to shut down. So my question is: how is it possible? It’s an hardware problem or maybe a firmware one?
Trying to answer this questions I have decided to make an hard reset of my phone, but I read that when the phone reboots after the hard reset it asks an unlock code. I have no idea of what code is this, so I want to know if this is true or not, and if it’s true how can I have this code before making an hard reset?

using CM 10.1 Alpha 6 , i found ur right about taking pictures with flash will turn shut the phone down if the brightness is high , u shall report that problem at the cm10.1 troubleshooting thread to get more testers for it

If you already changed the battery, maybe it's the jack that link battery to the phone...I think so cause you said that when under charge the problemdoesn't happen (because the phone take energy from the charge and not from the phone)...take a look over there...surely it's a mechanicalissue, not roms issue...

ok, but I don't know how to resolve this issue...I will try an hard reset...I think cyanogenmod wrote something in the firmware of the camera that is still present...with an hard reset maybe the firmware will be reset to stock...

I reported this issue in the tread, but many people answer to me that it may be a problem of mine only...

Ok, I think I'll do an hard reset. Is there something to know before doing it (like codes to reactivate the phone, etc.)?

i think is battery....because when the phone is fully charged (or with anoter battery) when shutting photo with flash it stay on
why?
while taking the picture (camera+cpu+ flash (more power than torch) +screen ecc..) the battery voltage drops suddenly if it is damaged and this drop can swich off the phone

Screen going blank regulary.. pl help !!

Hello All,
Yesterday I started having a strange issue.
I was trying to apply Zagg Screenguard on my HOX. So I moisted it with the application solution that they provided. But I feel I just put a little more solution that needed too and the screen got a little dampen. However I removed all excess moist and liquid solution asap after applying the screenguard.
However to my dreaded surprise I started having a strange issue since then. The phone boots up and screen and buttons all work perfectly. But if I let the screen sleep for say 30 secs or so and then try to wake it up again, the screen just remains blank. Capacitive buttons do light up showing the phone is on and not hanged or off. I have to restart the phone to again get the screen work.
I also tried removing the screenprotector suspecting there might be some moist still there causing the issue, but no help
I also installed the Maximux JB rom yesterday only just before applying the screenprotector. I know its far fetched , but do the rom can have anything to do with it.
Please guide me what to do asap.
Thanks in advance !
WOW.. no replies yet ...
OK.. I got more info to make the issue more clearer... I do think that the phone hangs before screen goes blank.. I think the issue is that when the phone kept in sleep for few minutes apparently it hangs then only and screen doesn't come up.
Also I checked the 'Stay awake while charging' option from Developers options settings and it seem to work ok till I charge the phone , but as soon as I pull it from charger within few minutes the same issue.
Now it is beginning to be more apparent to me that the issue is somehow related to voltage settings and its getting two low when at deep sleep. I have not changed the voltage setting as I'm using stock settings on maximus rom which is nearly stock.
Is there a way to recalibrate voltage settings by software. Maybe I should install a custom kernel and increase volatage scale? or do I have to take it to the technician to have a look at ?
Pl help ! I'm forced to use my secondary phone as regular one which I don't like very much !
Cheerio !!!
Do a nandroid backup.
Install official ROM.
Test it.
Decide whether it's the ROM or not.
Decide whether to restore your backup.

Thing is I have upgraded to Hboot 1.28 to install JB maximus. So not sure if I can install official rom on this , until official JB is released.
Also I'm pretty sure now that issue is not software related. I have tried 3 different roms and different kernels that I can try and still the same issue.
Also I tried changing governers and voltage settings using voltage control, but no use.

Galaxy Note N7100 keeps shutting off by itself

Hi,
I have a Vietnam made Galaxy Note N7100 which is almost not usable, unit does not comes with any warranty as it is an export set. It runs on the default ROM and is not rooted. Initially the unit works well for a few hours after installing some apps and did some customisation, after I locked the phone, the phone seems to go into deep sleep. I'm not even able to shut off the phone. Worse still, taking out the battery and put in back after mins do not work. To turn the set on again, I got to take out the battery for a few hours or so, then I can start the unit again.
I initially thought it might be some software conflict, I did a factory reset and leave the phone there for a while, the issue persisted.
It is also not the battery issue as I have use the same battery on another N7100 and it works well.
Is there any advice on what can I do to remedy this issue?
Thanks

This came to me as well, but the set auto shut off before I can even root the unit.
Have a fix for you guys
I had the same problem after some messed up rom flash. If my Note 2's screen goes off for more than 10 seconds, I wouldn't be able to wake it back up without reboot... It was basically in an unusable state. Luckily after 2 whole days of digging I've found the solution.
1. Go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1915386
2. Scroll about 1/3rd of the way down and look for the attachment "BOOTLOADER_N7100.zip"
3. Flash the BOOTLOADER_N7100.zip with Odin using the Bootloader field
That's it!
Good luck guys. I created an account specifically to answer this question. It was a major pain in the ass finding a fix for this problem so I wanted to make sure I spread the fix on this issue so others don't need to suffer through the same thing.
SOS please
i now have the same issue where i tried the liquid rom on my n7100...as soon as it installed my phone started switching itself off within 5 secs and show a red battery light..and no love nor money can I get it on without rebooting..
i tried the bootloader in Odin after re installing the stock rom..but as soon as i select start..it fails??
Anything else?
I am also experiencing shutdowns with my Vietnam unit. I have 4.1.2 original ROM and I tried many possibilities to solve it. No success. The phone shuts off if I start an online radio (or tunein radio) and after max 2 min it shuts off. Doesn't matter if is on data plan or through router.
Had a problem of the phone freezing and had to restart the phone. Then again it would freeze after some time. Flashed stock rom with bootloader and pit but it still persisted. Sent it to the service centre and got my phone back yesterday after mb change. The new mb is with the newer firmware.

note 2 switching off by its self
Had same problem, I switched of data, wi-fi bleutooth, gps, switched them on again 1 at a time.
Phone worked ok untill bluetooth was on again, then it shut down. I think the problem is with Bt.
I emailed samsung support who suggested i connect to kies to check i had latest firmware but i
knew i had, they also suggested a factory data restset, (settings- back up and reset- factory data reset).
Did this last week phone has been working fine since.
Hope this helps.

[Q] DHD Display flickering; How to repair?

Hello Forum,
seems that my DHD has an irreparable error.
But i've still a little hope that maybe someone of you guys out there can point me into the right direction to repair the phone again.
What happened:
on December, 20. for no apparent reason the Display started flickering approximately 2 cm from the top.
The upper Part (the first 2 cm from the top of Display) was showing the normal Picture, on the lower Part the Picture was flickering at irregular time intervals, but the touch gestures were still working without any Problems.
Setup at that Time:
- Latest 4ext Touch Recovery
- Latest MIUI.us Rom by bliind
- Custom DPI set to '190' (with ROM Toolbox)
- Max CPU Speed set to 1200 Mhz (with Set CPU)
(Had this setup working fine without any issues for approx. last 2 Months...)
Last change i did before the error occured: Set Custom Boot Animation with Rom Toolbox
The Flickering started not immediatly after setting the new boot Animation but i think 2 days and some reboots later...
Actions that i've already tried to solve the Problem:
1. Shut down the Phone, pull out the Battery, wait some Minutes, reboot the phone.
-> The flickering was gone and the Display looked normal after reboot.
2. After some time I took the Phone out of my pocket and the flickering was there again like before.
Tried to set DPI back to original value '240'
reboot the Phone
-> The Flickering still was there and it seemed to me that the responsiveness of the touch was slightly slower than normal.
3. Reboot into Recovery
Nandroid Backup all Partitions to SD-Card
wipe all partitions except SD-Card
new, totally clean flash of latest MIUI.us Rom by bliind
Reboot the phone
-> The flickering was gone; responsiveness of the screen normal as it was always before.
4. restore all apps; put the phone on the charger over night. everything worked fine again.
on the next Morning this strange flickering was there again; the Touchscreen was very slow responsive in the flickering area
Managed once more to reboot into recovery, but the flickering was now even in the Recovery and on the boot screen.
-> The Touch got more and more unresponsive.
Could no more start a new ROM flash out of Recovery.
5. Tried to access the phone via aahk tool and restored last stock ROM
-> After Reboot the DHD vibrates (like it usually does for startup)
the screen shows a bunch of black and white Stripes that chnge their Color when the Boot Animation should show up,
and later again when the lockscreen should appear.
It makes the boot jingle and i can send Commands via adb.
but Touch commands doesnt work, (tried to put in the Pin blind, but it shows no reaction)
Stupid, but I can't change it: my Warranty and the extra Insurance that i purchased for the DHD ended just 2 weeks before on 6. December.
6. Disassembled the whole phone with Help of you tube disassembling Guide, carefully cleaned all contacts and assembled it again.
-> nothing changed; same behavior like before disassembling.
What can I do? Any ideas except of small rasping and stirring into the soup? :crying:
Can it be only the display? Maybe the Graphic Chip?
Any other ideas?
thank you for reading this all and i appreciate any suggestion that might give my DHD a new spirit of life
Greetings from Cologne
I know it's not what you want to hear, but that sounds like a graphics or display hardware problem...

Thanks for your reply!
That was the same what I thougt after disassembling and cleaning with no result.
Cause it seems to me that the Display is still working, but the Signal that's coming in is broken.
I alsready supposed that the Graphic engine is broken.
Just had a little Hope that someone might had the same Problem and got it solved,
before I start practice for mobile phone throwing competition...
i suggest another ROM JB used to cause my DHD flickering (earliear versions)
My DHD was with same problem 1 year a go, and that usually happen when i played games like Angrybirds or Asphalt, or when the device temperature was high.
I was worry at that time, thinking that the device was gone.
Take the same solutions that you had (except disassemble the phone) but they're only temporary.
By that time i decide root the device and install a new rom, (nothing to loose had i think) and Revolution HD was my choice.
After that my DHD didn't flick any more.
I didn't ever know what was the origin of that flickering but for me, that was the big solution.
I'm using Viper Venom 1.2.3 for now, and still with no flickering insues.
So, my advice for you is... give a try to other rom's and kernels, maybe you resolve your insue has i did.
Good luck with that.

Thanks for you Answers guys,
the Problem i have is, that my DHD does show only sripes even if I try to boot into Recovery, I can't see anything and am not able to start a flash process...
cause i have installed 4ext touch recovery i need the screen to wipe and flash a new ROM.
But i will try to flash an CWM - Recovery through ADB and then to start the flash Process blind by tapping the buttons...
let's see what will happen. There's nothing to loose...
For now, cause I was sitting without a mobile phone at all, I've ordered a cheep one from Amazon... - Huawei U8510 (Ideos X3) -
And oh WONDER!!!: I've got a fully functioning phone with CyanogenMod 7.2 and all the stuff i use my phone for is working without any Probs..
And the whole thing has 2 years of warranty at a cost of € 80,-
only the Display for my HTC would cost € 40,-
so I'm thinking of selling the broken phone on ebay and let anyone try to repair it who is able to....
but I will give it a try to flash another ROM.
Already downloaded the JellyTime R30...
Hello unbeteiligter,
seems that my DHD has nearly the same issues, but with some extra problems.
It seems to be broken since today morning. I wiped the phone and restored the backup I made the afternoon before, and then the first vertical stripes occured. I wiped it and flashed the same rom (CodefireX 4.2.1) again. Same issues. Now I tryed to flash a GingerBread Strock Rom. Even the same issues, and even more shocking is that this problem also occurs in the bootloader, recovery, splashscreen and bootanimation.
Stupid situation, today my Warranty ended.
What can I do? Previously I tougth this is a software problem, but now I think it might be a hardware issue.
Thanks in advance!

The T-Mobile Customer Support told me, that they would have accepted the case as Warranty, if my DHD had ended up during the first week after End of Warranty. Don't know where you bought yours, but maybe there's a small chance for you to get Warranty Support through their obligingness.
If I were you I would try this...

Similar problem
I have also got a similar problem. Had my phone for two years and have also just hit the same problem. Flashed a new ROM, everything was working fine, then all of a sudden top half of the screen is displayed correctly, the bottom half is always flickering. This occurs in the bootloader as well. Anyone would think that HTC decided to make sure the phone only works for two years and a few weeks after the warranty expires to make sure it experiences problems.

[Q] P600, strange flickering and reboot

Hi all,
This is The premise:
My note 10.1 has been a good companion for an year and an half now, and i always kept it in good shape.
However, since december the battery just stopped charging as it used to.
To simply put it, it just took a lot to charge (as if the tablet didn't receive enough energy) and the battery drained at insane speed.
Not knowing what to do, and having a void warranty (i know, sucks, but with the vanilla p600 i coulnd't even open the pdfs i use to study, so it was useless to me ) I just had to bring it to a local repairman who is affiliated with samsung. They immediately ruled out the possibility of it being the battery, and they said it was probably something related to the simple connector, that they changed with an original one.
Now the real trouble:
After they gave it back to me, the tablet can't go 5 minutes without the screen flickering like crazy and then rebooting.
I tried different ROMS, thinking it could have been something related to the Ios. CM12, Hyperrom p600, the vanilla Rom that was originally in my tablet and so on.
The big problem is that this unnerving flickering and rebooting is not tied to the ROM, as it happens even when i'm just using TWRP (version 2.6.1.1).
To be more precise: the tablet in recovery mode is fine and nothing happens if i do nothing with it; however the screen starts flickering and the tablet reboots the moment I attempt to flash something, or even everytime I do a factory reset.
Now the situation has worsened: to simply put it, I can't no longer access the tablet with any rom, be it vanilla (touchwiz) or android-stock based.
What could possibly be the reason behind this problem? I guess it has nothing to do with software issues (i have the vanilla 4.4.2 installed right now, but it can't even finish the setup).
Is there any advice you can give me?
To be more precise, the flickering is not like there is some intermitting bright light or anything: it's like the tablet's screen turns off and on very quickly for 30 seconds, and then just reboots.
After a lot of tries, i managed to install the unofficial cm by temasek for note 10.1 2015, but the problem keeps popping up with every rom I tried.
Regarding the kernel I should have the default one, as i don't recall ever changing it or modifying anything about it, but I could check if some kind soul can tell me how.
The problem happens quicker and more frequently when the tablet is put to stress (for example, when i'm flashing something or when a Gapp is updating/intalling).
I thank you in advance

Sounds like a digitizer issue to me. A.K.A. Screen/graphics issue.
LiquidSmooth maintainer for d2usc/vzw & p600
Thank your for your answer:
could you be more precise? Bercause the touch screen and the lcd all look fine, and they are as crisp and reactive as ever.
the thing is that it looks like it goes in idle constantly and very, very quickly turns back on
Update:
so a local technician took a look at it for me and the hardware (lcd digitizer) seems totally fine, so i don't know if that is the problem.
Today somehow worked perfectly fine: no strange flickering, battery charging fine for once...
and then i tried to open the google camera
the camera crashed instantly and the hellish flickering started as it never stopped.
Should i upload a video? I feel like "flickering" is not an appropriate description

Note 2 keeps restarting everytime!

Hi guys. A relative asked me if i can repair his note 2. I think his network was locked and the phone keeps restarting everytime. I flashed a new firmware on the phone. The one I use on mine..XXUFNG1, and also I went into recovery and clear data and cache after flashing. But still the phone keeps rebooting everytime. Why is that and how can I fix this?
Note : It's not bootloop or anything. You can switch on the phone, use it for like 5mins and then it freezes and restarts itself. And it goes on like that. Sometimes it doesn't restart also and you can use for more. But most of the time after 5mins, it restarts.

Everything stock..like I said! Before flashing to the newest rom too, everything was stock.
Was the phone dropped or exposed to moisture? Possible battery problem? Reboots even when connected to a charger?

Hi..thanks for reply. I tried another battery in it. The one I use myself. But it still restarts. I don't know if the phone was dropped or anything though. The relative just told me that it needs to be unlocked. Do you think it's software related? Or something is damaged in the phone?
Since it is running a stock ROM and still behaves this way after a factory reset, I think there is a hardware problem.
I might have a similar problem. I copy from another thread:
Hey guys,
I like this rom so far. But since 2 weeks I got an issue.
My phone randomly turns off, atleast I guess that's what happens. Sometimes the "notify" LED is on permanently but the display won't go on. To start the phone again I have to put out the battery and put it back in.
My battery is randomly empty pretty fast even if I just let the phone turned off. This happens like every 5 minutes.
I already bought a new battery but the problem hasn't changed.
What to do now? :>

I like the phone. It's over 5 years old and runs like the first day. Except it DOESN'T wake up anymore after a short time when the screen is off. I can press the power/home button as many times as I want and wait for 5 minutes, screen will still be off. Only way to "wake" it up again is to put the battery out and in again.
Currently I don't have enough money to buy a new phone and I can get a new motherboard for 25$. But I'm not sure if this will fix my problem.
I'm not even sure if this is the ROMs problem since it worked with all earlier versions of this rom perfectly and even the latest release worked for weeks/months.

As long as I leave the screen turned on the display/phone won't go off and I can use it as always. Even the battery don't drop drastically then.
It might be exposed to moisture tho. When I take a hot shower I'll leave it on the window sill and the room gets steamy.
ROM: [7.1.2 r24] LineageOS for N7100 [Unofficial] - Version from 08.10.2017
GAPPS: Open Gapps ARM 7.1 Aroma - 03.05.2017
Baseband: N7100XXUFND3
Ril and other stuff I don't know where to check.
Some years ago I had the SDS and the motherboard was changed without the EMMC bug.
Sometimes my phone only charges in slow mode too.
I try a clean install and newer pico gapps now. Maybe it will solve the problem. I'll reply then if it worked or not.
[EDIT]
Since my phone was low on battery I turned it off completly and put it on the charger. After an hour or so I wanted to look after it.
The green charging light stays on and if I want to turn the phone on nothing happens. The light stays on even after removing the charger.
Seems like a hardware, not a rom problem? Will changing the motherboard fix this?
[EDIT 2]
Quick update. I fully wiped/factory resetted and clean installed newest version of this ROM + newest mini pico GApps. Still the same problem. Gonna try it with another ROM/kernel now and if the problem persists it's a hardware fault.
[EDIT 3]
Fully wiped again and changed ROM+Kernel. Still the same problem.
