[BUG] Camera Flash when turning off

Is anyone else's camera flash flashing 5-6 times when powering off? This happens right after the pink T-Mobile goodbye screen.

Turned mine off at least ten times now and no such report here.

Nothing here. Have turned mine off about 3 times since I received it earlier.

Last night my battery was very low when this started happening.
After a full night charge the phone boots down normally.

Mine flashed 1 time when I turned it off. I've only turned it off twice. I did it the 2nd time, because I thought I was seeing things.....now I know I wasn't imagining a lightning bolt in my hand;-(

WOW, 11 minutes later I turn the phone off........the LED on back flashes @ least 6 times!!!!! Sad part is I have no box or receipt to exchange

Has anyone gotten a guick camera flash when rebooting after using these files? I've seen it happen a few times now.

wrong topic.... some one already mentioned that in a separate topic, it's a bug or defective unit, you should exchange it for a good one

I spent quite a bit of time trying to find out what was causing the camera flash to happen after changing the files.
Reverting back to stock: can't duplicate camera flash on reboot/startup.
Using the international SGS2's bootup/shutdown: can duplicate random camera flash on reboot/startup.
It appears that the camera flash is being caused by trying to reboot the phone to quickly after shutting it down. The original T-mo shutdown is longer in length than the international version.
When I wait 3 seconds after the shutdown vibration occurs while using the international version I am not able to reproduce the camera flash.
My conclusion: User error. No exchange necessary.

Actually this isn't caused at all by user error, as one of my old units did exactly this. It was a problem with the unit. Only one of the 7 I've tried have done this. . .

Had this problem only once among my 30'ish number of shutdown's.
Thought I saw ghost or something...

no worries, it's probably just CIQ snapping some photos for their logs to match up with your GPS at the time of shutdown...

I've never had this problem. (I've had this phone for 2 days

Just recently flashed bombaridier, haven't had the camera flash do that yet on stock or bombaridier. Will keep an eye out for it though

I've been thinking this may be related to using a "flashlight" app (not app specific, possibly after using any flashlight app)
I never had this happen until I installed a flashlight app... I've noticed when you use the flashlight, after you turn the "flashlight" off, it will always flash one time.
Uninstall the flashlight app, reboot once, after that - anytime I shut down, no flashing.
Just a thought..

Im going to have to turn my wifes phone off now to make sure that hers is not doing this.

i'm on Jugger, never seen it yet
and i hope it remains that way
i'm pretty sure it must be a software bug
for the records, i do not use the stock SMS/MMS i have it frozen, because it sucks
i use Go SMS Pro, free, and has more feature than i can use, but has no use for them (that's a good thing )

Just witnessed this for the first time on my phone after having it for close to 3 months. I just flashed CWM for the first time on it a few minutes ago. Wonder if it's related? I'm guessing the consensus is to just ignore it?

3G Periodically Shuts Off

Have Cyanogen Mod installed, constantly have 4 bars of 3G data in Brooklyn, NY.
Whenever I'm using the phone in hand, the data shuts off every 10 to 45 minutes. The only way to bring it back on reliably is to go into the settings, turn off data, put it into airplane mode, wait a few seconds, then turn it back to normal mode.
There's no "data" toggle on the top-screen slide-down applet, so this is kind of a pain in the ass to do every single time this happens.
Has anyone else experienced this and/or solved it?

I have had this on my EVO, and it may just be the ROM. I have not ran CM b/c the other ROM's that are based off CM have more features like a notification toggle for data, which would help you.
I recommend doing a full wipe and re-install of the ROM. You can use Titanium Backup to save everything and restore everything. It should be like nothing changed, and hopefully it fixes that bug. If not, maybe resort do a different version of CM or ROm altogether.
Best of luck with this, it is annoying, but not the worst problem you can get (on the bright side).

Ah, alright. Good to know it's just a basic issue. Will update to a new build eventually. Thanks!

Just got the Note 2 but the screen on lag may be a deal breaker for me!

I have researched and it seems there is no fix to the 1-2 second delay after the phone has been sitting for at least 15 seconds when you hit the home or power button. Ive tried turning off S-voice and all of the other recommendations but like most people with this issue the problem is not resolved.
Also I cannot get the ATT 4.1.2 update. Its still at 4.1.1 and tells me I have to check back in 24 hours.

Root, TRWP, and install SKYNOTE.
The rom has multi window and he has fixed the screen delay.

Thanks. So the only solution is to root?

Download Soft locker from the market and it will stop the screen lag and I have never noticed any noticable difference in battery life its still a beast!!!

I'm baffled why some have this problem. I've never had a screen on lag.
I use a pure black wall paper.
Home Screen Mode Basic
I run Nova Launcher
Settings:
Blocking Mode Off
Power Save Off
Display->Page Buddy Off
Display->Smart Rotation Off
Display->Smart Stay Off
Display->Auto Adjust Screen Tone Off
Lock Screen->Popup Note Off
S Pen->Open Popup Note Off
S Pen->Battery Saving On
S Pen->S Pen Keep On
S Pen->Air View Off
One Hand Operation Off
Don't know if these settings will help...

These other options could work but I am running clean room right now and I do notice the screen delay but it does not bother me.
I do know Sean the sky note rom creator has fixed this lag.
Root for the gn2 is sooo easy and very fast. Literally took me 3 min to Root and 2 min to flash twrp. In the mean time just download the rom cuz its like 800mb lol.
Good luck man. This is the best device I have used. I went from the Motorola Atrix to iphone 5 to this. Just the screen and s pen is a seller to me lol.

Root it and bump up the cpu minimum setting about 400 to 600 mhz or set the scaling to interactive or ondemand. Cpu master is a good free app to use. Just Unclick the set on boot till you find your phone butter zone.

I know...This phone blows all of them out of the water right now..and now that we got all of the Dev's Love going on...it just keeps getting better.
Maybe when the new G4 comes out...maybe...but the note 3 won't be that far behind it...and I really doubt either one will be that much better over all than what we already have...They both would have to have some really serious hardware updates to make me move to one...and I wouldn't want to give up my unlocked Note II for a locked down version of anything just yet...

It's an old thread, but it seems the most relevant. I just flash my Gnote 2 to Skynote 10. I'm noticing the screen delay when it wakes. It's most jarring when I receive a call, answer it, the person starts speaking and my phone screen is still blank. Important because sometimes I have to switch to speaker phone or bluetooth ASAP. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix?

lol that app works by introducing a wakelock... so while others look to remove wakelocks, we do the opposite LOL
it's december and the problem still exists... using slimbean 4.3.1 and devil kernel... takes my phone a second or two to wake up... quite annoying actually...
guess there's no way around this other than to disable deep sleep (you can set that in kernel settings, if supported)

Root the phone and freeze or uninstall your unused apps with titanium backup..do a nandroid 1st of course. i also used juice defender plus. my battery life at end of day is at 70% to 75% with 300+ apps.
But than I recently flashed @seanzscreams Skynote 4.3 Note Rom its crazy smooth and battery life is even better.

New Note 3 very glitchy ... is this common?

Hey guys. I moved up from a Verizon Note 2 to a T-Mobile Note 3 two weeks ago (and switched carriers obviously).
Since then, it has happened that the phone gets stuck and then reboots.
Three times it's happened while scrolling in the 9Gag app, once while in the Play Store and once as I was unlocking the phone using a pattern an e-mail came in and the vibration got stuck for a while and then rebooted.
I've also noticed that if I have WiFi on, Skype logs in fine, if I leave the house so I go on 4G and then come back to WiFi, Skype refuses to see a connection unless I turn off WiFi or reboot the phone.
Then yesterday the entire phone was in landscape mode even though I had auto-rotate enabled, and whether I turned it off and back on, it stayed on landscape mode until I rebooted the phone.
My wife also has a T-Mobile Note 3, bought at the same time. For her it's rebooted only once so far while using Google Maps.
I've had S3, Sprint Note 2, Verizon Note 2, and my wife has had S3 and S4. Now we both got these Note 3s and man, this is way too glitchy. On the Note 2 I went over 2 months once without rebooting the phone. This one has rebooted itself 5-6 times in 2 weeks!
We're updated to KitKat 4.4.2 (OTA) and not rooted or modified in any way (yet). So I'm wondering if it's KitKat that is glitchy, since our phones before weren't on KitKat, or the Note 3s in general, or just my specific Note 3.
Would love any info on this. Thanks.

I would do a master reset. Worst case Odin stock rom. Avoid send in for refurbished one
Def don't root yet. Try and get phone stable first.
TWEAKED N3

If i'm going to wipe, I might as well root. I've rooted and modded all my devices to date. Just when I got to the Note 3 it seemed that things had become considerably harder than on the Note 2...so I chickened out.
EDIT: if you don't mind me doing the noob thing and just asking, what's the easiest way to get root? I don't particularly care about a customized rom, but definitely want system access to get rid of all this bloat and install my customized video ringtone program.

It not harder it more steps and Odin is best. But if you have hardware issues on stock u need to know before root
TWEAKED N3

Yeah, doing it now. Going to go stock but rooted so I can have some control. Maybe later on i'll flash a custom rom when I have time to go through them and see which one suits my style.
Thanks.

I'd suggest doing a factory reset b4 anything, then if that dose not work, use odin and flash kit kat... then if ur issue persist, maybe contact samsung.

I be honest I don't use it and this kk really doesn't drain the battery like job did stock
TWEAKED N3

I haven't noticed any sort of glitches since I've had my N3. Even after putting the jedi ROM on it seems fine. As far as the battery goes, I know there are alot of complaints that kk has killed alot of the life out of it. I haven't noticed a difference in battery life either. It holds a charge all day and some. And greenify is to stop or freeze certain apps that run constantly in the background that could drain the battery. I personally didn't really like the app nor did I need it.

Well, I went on a stock deodexed rom and got on lean kernel for a while... but it's still doing the stuck-and-reboot thing. It's always related to the touch screen, so i'm either scrolling or clicking to open an app or settings within an app. The phone gets momentarily stuck, then full reboot.
How long do I have to get it exchanged in store? I wonder if i'm within that time frame. It's definitely not normal and getting very annoying.
If i'm outside the time to get exchanged in store, what's my next best option?
I have to say that this experience with the Note III has been nothing short of disappointing and nothing like the two Note IIs I had before (different carriers for each, neither broke or gave any problems).

Here's an update for anyone who finds this and is in the same boat.
I had two issues: 1) the power button became so recessed that it's a hassle to turn on/off the screen, 2) the phone kept turning on and off, by the end almost constantly, without any obvious pattern beyond it getting stuck after me touching the screen (i.e. never just up and turned off while being idle).
Because of the recessed power button, T-Mobile shipped me a replacement phone. Should arrive tomorrow.
I still tried troubleshooting the rebooting issue. I think it came down to one or a couple of the following:
1 - Go Weather EX
2 - Freeza's CRT mod
3 - flashable 1% battery mod
4 - bootanimation.zip support flashable script
5 - something in the Deodexed version of the stock KitKat rom
In prepping to take the phone to T-Mobile, I did the return to stock thing with Odin, putting back stock kitkat odex non-rooted rom. The entire afternoon I got not a single reboot. Since I came back home with the phone, I restored a backup I had made before doing the Odin stuff. Back to rebooting.
So I thought, let's go back to the stock experience like I had earlier, and restore my apps through the play store and manually hunt it down.
Now i'm running the stock odexed kitkat rom, rooted, with lean kernel, with a whole bunch of stock apps frozen, and virtually all my apps and not a problem. I avoided 2-4 since those mess with the framework and I thought it could have something to do with it. I removed Go Weather EX because I experienced a reboot once while setting it up as a live wallpaper.
When the new phone arrives tomorrow I'll try to duplicate my current setup and hopefully won't have any more rebooting issues. I hope this helps anyone experiencing the same thing. I know it's kinda convoluted and not very concise, but then again this experience has been nothing short of annoying and confusing.

incoming calls instantly disconnected

does anybody have this issue? Every time I receive a phone call, and I hit answer, it immediately disconnects. I can make a phone call right back, but I can't answer calls. I flashed a new rom two days ago, and that is when it start doing it. I completely wiped, went back to stock rooted, and the issue is still here.

I have this same problem and it seemed to come about after flashing to a custom ROM as well. I have tried flashing several ROMs to see if that might fix this, but the phone still disconnects instantly when calls are answered. Im back to stock thru the Kies program now and it still disconnects right away. Tried different phone answer/call apps with no luck as well. Calling out has no problems. This is very frustrating, I barely bought the phone 2 weeks ago. Please post a solution if there is one, would appreciate that.

I have this same problem and I posted it here.

I thought it was just on bluetooth but it happens without my bluetooth headset connected.
I wiped my phone including internal storage and flashed the debloated stock rom and I still have this problem....
The issue doesn't always happen, it happens most of the time basically intermittent.
I was using cm12 for a month and the problem didn't exist with cm12. Only with TouchWiz roms.
