Phone shuts down when taking pictures with flash

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

[Q] Is my HTC One X dead??

Hi guys,
I have HTC One X and I switched from stock rom to cyanogenmod few months ago. From time to time I got info about updating to latest stable build but I didnt install it since the one I had worked perfectly. Few days ago I updated it to latest stable build manually and it worked OK, but it shut down at one point when I was using Google Maps and I had to start it manually again. It started normally but had problem connecting to network for about minute or two. After that it worked fine.
Today I wanted to record my sisters school project and I put it on a table and started recording. After 20 minutes or so I noticed that phone is turned off again (no one was near it). Since then I am unable to charge it, power it, it seems to be complity dead. When I plug in the charger no light indicartor is present.
I am not sure that problem is OS related. It seems to be hardware related isssue.
Is this known problem? And how to fix it??

Thank you for quick response
It was about 90% when I started recording but the problem is I think its dead. I cannot start it to see how much is left on the battery so I am unable to see how much battery is still full.

GT-I9195: Sudden Death

Brand New Device, Its just been a Week...
I Rooted and Installed CM 11 Yesterday.... So Today,After watching some Anime Video's on it..I Left it for almost 1 Hour... Came back and tried to unlock it...Touch wasnt Responding well.And Phone's Screen was hot indeed.. So Even Shut down wasnt possible ...
So i used Power Button for 10 Seconds and Restarted... Phone Restarted...But again Phone was very Laggy,So Tried Restarting again...This time.... No Display nor any Touch Buttons were lighting up... Instead what i got were random Vibrations.... I tried to get into Download Mode,Recovery....... Yet no Response from Screen but only a Vibration from Device itself...
Any one faced this issue? Any Known Solution...? I wont get free Warranty as Device is from UK

Have you tried to reinstall cm11?

Try removing your battery for a minute then put it back without your sdcard or sim inserted. Then try getting into download or recovery mode

Totally my Device is Crazy

That means you CAN enter recovery? Try going in recovery and adb pushing a fresh CM image to your phone and then flashing it after doing a good wipe of your phone

I had these screen issues too... But for me removing the battery and reflash the Rom did it...

Seems like your new phone has over heated and caused some serious damage to screen and maybe gpu\cpu.
Seen this happen recently with a ROM I installed also. But pulled battery out in time. And installed another.
I always watch out for over heating when installing a new ROM. Usually a sign somebody messing with CPU clocks.
For your sake though I hope you got it in time and can flash another ROM.

UPDATE : At a Local Shop,they said display is damaged because of water ... [ i never kept or used it with water]
Samsung Store said ...Display was burnt from inside and they will replace it for 6k Indian Rs.... :crying: :crying:

Hey I've seen this issue too, one of my friends has a GT I9192 and I updated his phone to the latest stock ROM first it worked very good, but one day he was recording something with his camera, and then played the recording after that the phone shut down, and didn't want to restart after taking the battery out and trying again and again, it reboots and after 3 or 4 min turns off again. I flashed some other stock roms but nothing, when I get in recovery mode, after some minutes the screen goes all blue.
And sometimes when restarting it shows colored lines in screen.
Went to Samsung Costumer Care (Saudi Arabia) they say that the phone has been rooted (which is not true) cause the KNOX Warranty bit shows 0x1
I don't know what to do.
The phone was bought in Saudi Arabia. And I live in Europe
Could I send it somewhere in Samsung CS in Europe cause i heard that here in Europe the KNOX warranty bit doesn't affect hardware damages (which I think that this issue is a hardware damage)

Touch no responsive after call

HI, guys. You my only hope. 6 month ago a replaced my screen with screen from Ali. Sometimes I have problem, that after call touchscreen became unresponsive screen is working . Reboot with pwr + volume up do the job. I do some research. Proximity sensor is OK, even with disabled touch, thanks OTG cable.
Problem is unstable. O can't repeat it. Happens Suddenly.
This problem is rom independent. But I used only stock, and now on stock based custom
Locked bootloader

anyone? =(

i have the exact same problem with you and i think is screen related.
i ll perform the proximity sensor check and if it is not the source of the problem,i ll take off my screen,give a cleaning at the connections and put it back on, to notice it s behaviour.
hope i won t break my screen cause it happened before:fingers-crossed:
my screen has started un gluing from the left side of the display and screen is lifted upwards ,i just mention this for the possibility of causing a problem with those freezes during incoming calls,but i can t think of anything.
probably i need to order a new display(not from the same seller of course) cause it is a little dim too,if it s not fixed after trying those i really don t know what i will do with my phone,it really gives in my nerves with this problem(otherwise i m very satisfied of owning it).
i ll come back reporting after making my tests...
EDITroximity sensor check OK,no problem.
cleaned the connections of my screen and i have only 1 freeze after 40 calls,but is still there and is only a day that passed..
i can t target if my problem is hardware or software,i ll flash stock lollipop with flashtool and wait for some days,but if it appears again what should be my next step?
any ideas welcomed..
EDIT 2:after five days on stock 5.1,problem seems to dissapeared,so i supposed it is related to an app...
EDIT3:till now everything is OK.
