Partial "crashed" screen for a split second - soft- or hardware issue?

I've been using my One X for several weeks now (I think the hboot date is around early June so it's not one of the early batches) and so far didn't have any problem except for the following:
Twice, first a few weeks ago and the second time last night I saw some "artifacts". I'm not quite sure but I think different parts of the screen were affected each time. What happens is that everything is shown how it's supposed to be except for a 30%-40% area which looks a little like a computer screen right after a software/driver crash can look like. Without doing anything, it disappeared each time after less than a second.
I wasn't able to take a screenshot but the following photo shows how it roughly looked like. In my case, there were only lines and cubes in black, white and bright green instead of the more "fuzzy" parts shown in the photo.

Is this a driver issue? A lose connection? A display fault? I was close to unlocking my phone but with this having happened twice so far I wonder whether I should wait a little longer...
PS: It's probably unrelated, but like a minute later I encountered some "keypad ghosting" via swiftkey, i.e. I was pressing some keys on the keyboard and it was inserting several different ones each time. I do suppose that it's a software glitch, though, as I tried the stock keyboard another minute later and this worked fine.

If you can still swap your device with your retailer I would do that, just to be on the save side...

did u update to latest already?
if yes,
was it there before u updated..??
it doesn't look like a hardware issue

Did it act like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIY0_Hy2_mA ?

No, everything was where it was supposed to be and the artifacts faded away after probably less than a second.
I still have the latest stock Rom, haven't updated yet. I do think it's been more of a software glitch but I couldn't find information on here or anywhere else which would state a similar problem. Which is good?

M8 camera problem, pictures gets small pink/purple areas!

Hello,
Only me having problems with small areas in some photos getting over-saturated in pink/purple?
I'm using stock settings or whatever but it still doesn't help. If I try the Google Camera this is gone, so it seems to be something with the image processing? :S
Just look at these photos I took:

EDIT: Download the zip I've made and zoom in, if you are not half blind you will see it

I had the M7 and this isssue and its not the same really, the M7 issue was more of a purple gradient at the end of the picture xD
This is like small dots showing up in bright areas. If I take a picture with the recently released Google Camera this is all gone, so its software based somehow
But thanks anyway man :victory:

Can't even see what you're showing us lol

I most definitely don't have the eye, but I swear I can't spot whatever you are marking

Purple Haze

I definitely see it. And I am no picture guru at all.
Looks like you got a defective unit ?
HTC UltimEight ?

Does the issue show up in the same spot on the pics? Like a hot photo sensor pixel will do? Or is it in random locations?

[Q] Camera Firmware Issue, Unusable

TL;DR - Camera firmware updated on Google Edition, largely unusable since. Any fixes?
Here's the tale. My camera was excellent for the past year or so, and served me well no matter what ROM was being used. One fateful day, I was going to share something to a friend on Google+ while using the Google Play Edition ROM (really very excellent) when I was presented with this message:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I didn't think much of it, but let it sit while it did this. I eventually came back to the phone after several minutes, only to find the message still there.
I killed Google+ and opened my camera. I was presented the same message that the camera firmware was updating and to wait. I let it sit for about half an hour. I tried again only to receive the same message. Eventually I was presented a black screen with the camera controls, and was able to switch to the front camera. However, the back camera was still only a black screen. I restarted and had the same issue.
I reflashed to a stock based ROM (Insane) and was presented with the same issue, only this time no warning about firmware upgrades in progress - just black screen on the rear camera. At this point I decided an ODIN would probably take me back to where I needed to be, so I ODIN'ed a stock image. The issue was still persistent, but the camera would work every once in awhile now. It was a very rare occasion, but sometimes the back camera would flicker into life and allow me to take pictures as usual. Infuriatingly enough, the first time it started working was when I was trying to show a friend of mine, also into Android, the issue.
Non-TW based ROMs do not work with the rear camera now. The front camera is still working, and sometimes allows videos to be taken.
TW based ROMs rarely work with the rear camera now. The front camera is still working, and sometimes allows videos to be taken.
Does anyone have any ideas on remedies for this issue? Is there a stock Samsung Galaxy S4 camera firmware flashable? I've searched around, and decided to yield to the higher XDA powers of knowledge after no returns.

Did you get it wet? Go for a run with it in your pocket and get it sweaty? My friend had a similar problem with his Nexus 4 after getting it water damaged.

Hmmm yeah, I have done that a few times but I stopped because I was a bit shocked at how much moisture got on the screen. Is it a ROM problem?

Yeah mate, you could always try and reset it to stock with a new KDZ flash. It may get a bit technical but over on the G3 General page there is a good guide for it. Just make sure you back up everything, contacts, messages, apps, data, photos, music, downloads.. ect to your computer or copy all that stuff to your external SD card, or you will loose it. Also make sure you are flashing the KDZ for your model, never flash one that is for a different model or you will have serious problems.
Chuck a search in google for your model number and something like " Stock factory flash " or something along those lines, then find the corresponding XDA thread for it. Hopefully that might fix your problem. If it doesn't your options are to order a new camera part from a supplier and replace it yourself, or send it in to LG and have them fix it.

Just curious, have you tried another camera app from PlayStore, just to see what it does?

I tried other camera apps , they either crash or just show black screen.

Weird back cam issue when holding phone vertically

Hey fellow OP5T owners,
I recently upgraded to BluSpark r106 (probably completely unrelated) on OOS 5.0.4 and today I noticed that my cam has a weird bug on the bottom of freshly taken pictures when holding the camera vertically (stock cam).
It does NOT happen when I am holding it horizontally, and sometimes it doesn't occur when you switch to the gallery fast enough after taking the photo.
It also does NOT happen in portrait mode at all, but when I'm holding it vertically in Pro mode and in normal auto Picture mode.
Video is not affected in any way.
To me, it looks like the processing of the picture gets messed up because the pictures come out fine in the gallery after taking the photo, and after a very short timespan, the artifacts pop up in the final picture.

I'm assuming you're using the standard, unmodified camera app that comes with OOS. If that's the case I would suggest you download any of the third party camera apps that are available in the Play Store and see if you can replicate the same problem. If the problem does not appear on another camera app, then it's almost 100% likely that is a software issue related to the camera app and the kernel might be a possible culprit.
If that's the case in your case I would wipe dalvik/cache and flash stock kernel and see if the issue is resolved.

Same issue with third party camera apps like Open Camera and the Nokia Cam that floated around here somewhere.
I'm now dirty flashing stock OOS 5.0.4, then check if it solves the problem and then go back to modifications.
Thanks for your input!
Edit: I tried it out twice now, both time same results, the issue is solved with a dirty flash of OOS 5.0.4 and Magisk, and is replicatable by flashing BluSpark r106.
It seems to interfere with the cam, especially when using touch to focus.

Same here. Thank you for your post! I was worried that it was hardware related.
