D855 Camera Bug

Hey all,
I have a weird bug and I wanted to share it if you have it or not. I bought my G3 3 days ago and when I shoot a photo from camera app or either snapchat, the phone turns off and I need to remove the battery to turn on again. It doesn't happen very frequently but it is very annoying. Is there anyone experinced the same bug?

camera works fine. No issues here

No issues here either, have you tried doing a factory reset?

Constant OTA update notification and no selfies using the heartrate monitor

I get a constant notification in the notification bar about an OTA update, but never updates my phone.
Another issue I noticed is that I can't take a selfie using the heartrate monitor, the way it's supposed to work.
Anyone knows what's wrong?

Selfies with the heart rate monitor only works if you are using Selfies mode for the front facing camera.
Selfies for the 16m camera is automatic in backfacing Selfies mode as you have to try and guess where your face is and it's pretty difficult. Though it foes beep to let you know when it sees your face.

I should have mentioned that I was trying selfies with the selfies mode on the front facing camera, and it still didn't work.

I said a factory reset is not a fix because it doesn't fix the issue without causing a lot of work resetting the phone.

If you're not willing to reset the phone, then you won't know if its a software or hardware issue. It will wind up being your loss when you can't exchange it for a new phone before the return date is up. Reinstalling some apps and re-entering some basic info isn't rocket science.

Reinstalling 230 apps and configuring these apps is tedious, and resetting the phone should be the last resort, not first one. If I wanted to reset the phone, I wouldn't ask the question here on XDA; I would have called Samsung support.

Then you should have called Samsung support. You have PHYSICAL and SOFTWARE functions that sound broken from what you've explained. I'll say it again, you provided us with an issue, icexshinigami provided you with information which you verified. If all of that is correct and your device is still not working correctly, you're either doing something wrong or you have a faulty device.
You got answers. Whether or not you liked them isn't my problem or anyone elses. Also, technically a restore is a fix. Samsung will tell you that over the phone after you verify everything you've already been told and they will either have you restore the device or return the device if you refuse to restore it or the restore doesn't work. How do I know this? I just went thought this with samsung and they did all this. Guess what? It was a FAULTY DEVICE.
Either take the time exhausting ALL your options, or don't ask for help at all. Man if reinstalling all "230 apps" is your biggest problem then I worry for you.
It wouldn't surprise me that after I post this everything gets magically fixed and you come with an explanation (if you even follow up) that wouldn't work anyways. Not trying to be rude but it sounds like you wouldn't own up to something you did and not the device.
And you have another thread on here asking questions about a problem on your phone. 2 and 2 together. I'm saying bad device. It happens.

I have the same problem. I've done a factory reset to diagnose a different problem (which helped, btw). It didn't help in this case though so it very well might be some hardware issue.
I should also state that when I place my finger on the heartrate sensor in the selfie mode, I do see it light up. It just never seems to vibrate or anything. Or perhaps it's just having trouble finding my face. Perhaps I'm just that ugly xD
Update:
Quite interestingly enough, I toggled between both regular selfie mode and the wide selfie mode and right back to regular. It's working now.
The only thing I can suggest is, when you place it in selfie mode and you press the heart rate sensor, is it lighting up? If not, then have you also tried the built-in fitness app to at least verify your heart rate sensor is functional?

1) Backup with Kies
2) Factory Reset
3) Restore with Kies
4) Try your selfie again with H/R sensor, if it fails you have 1 of 2 problems
a) You're not touching the H/R correctly
b) Bad device
Simple Enough Logic for OP?

Delay in waking up the screen

Anyone experiencing this at all? Doesn't happen all the time but lately I seem to be experiencing this. I will tap the screen several times an nothing happens. It takes awhile for it to respond. Very odd.

Same here - seems to be worse since the update to 5.0

Yeah I only have used the watch during lollipop so I can't comment on how it was before. Wonder if its just a Sony SM3 thing or all wear devices running 5.0. Hopefully a fix in the process.
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA Free mobile app

I'm fairly certain whatever was done to the kernel coming to 5.0 ruined the wake up time. It was so much faster on KitKat. If we really cared, we would start poking around in the kernel sources.

Possibly underclocked the device? Reason people saw improved battery life after 5.0? Just a guess.

Same for me in LG-R. It is not a watch problem but an other wear bug. Wear seem hang some time because it lost it connexion with phone and take awhile before silent reconnect.

Good to know its wear and not device dependent.

Auto-rotate not working?

Unfortunately i cant tell if it started with the last OTA or not, but my auto-rotate quit working. I have tried factory resets from both the settings/storage menu and using the power/volume down after phone was powered down. I contacted Verizon and they have had reports of it happening. She continued to say LG is aware of it and says it is a software issue that there will be a fix soon. Is anyone else aware of this problem?

nope. never used a ota cause they try to fix whats not broken most of the time, sorry to hear that has happened to ur phone

Galaxy watch music and s10+

I cant change tracks on galaxy watch when playing Samsung music on my s10+. It doesn't show that the song is playing at all, just says "unknown". Does anybody else have this issue??

From what I remember I couldn't even put up the volume.

Is this a permanent solution for you? I've reset the watch, it works for a while but then the issue reappears. The 3 dots from the music app on the watch(were you can select the player you want to control) and i cannot connect it.

Uninstall galaxy wear app from your phone, then reinstall. worked for me

No good. Reinstalled several times already and reset the watch. Nothing helps

I had similar problem using Watch on S10 too, what I usually do is to restart both watch and phone , it is not a permanent fix as you could experience same problem after like 2 days.

the same issue popped up a while back on the S3 frontier forum. Try factory resetting the watch and repairing it to the phone. i had this with my Gear S3 Frontier and both the old S5 and current A8. Had to factory reset it via recovery to get it working last time.

No, it is not a permanent solution. I did this a couple days ago, then today it's not working again. I guess buying premium products from a premium company is not exactly a premium experience.
I'm also have dtat issues from time to time, B41 and B25 both, at different locations.

Yep it broke again. Not sure what it can be fixed without an update from Samsung :/
