Been having the signal issues since updating to MM but haven't really been able to figure it out.. Usually just hit the airplane mode for 5 seconds and it comes back. That's what happens on several ROMs so I'm guessing it's just my phone.
My other issue is with the camera. My images were blurry as hell so I figured I'd replace the lense. Well it worked.. Somewhat. My pictures are clearer but not what I'd expect. Especially when I zoom in, everything gets boxy. Is that something all G3s do? Can't really remember zooming when I first bought the phone.
Thanks in advance for your time..... And thoughts plz help me fix these damn things

I was holding my phone's camera up to my computer screen and some green strips came up on it. Now my camera won't work. I take pictures of something and all I get get is a bunch of lines. This super sucks! Any help? Do you think it's a hardware problem?
Sounds like it... did you take the battery out yet ?
Yeah I did. I think it might be time for me to get a new phone anyway but I'm really low on cash. All my money goes to school.
Little problem with my Galaxy Nexus, just want to know if anyone else has the same with theirs before i take it back as a faulty unit.
If i tap the back of the phone around/ above the back camera i can hear a little rattle. I first noticed this by simply putting the device on a table and heard something that sounded a little loose so looked to find out where it was from. It doesnt seem to effect anything but if no one else has this i will be returning it just incase it does become a problem in the future.
Just sounds like something inside isn't fixed properly and is tapping on something.
It doesnt happen anyother time except when i put the phone down on something hard or physically tap the back near the camera.
Anyone experiencing this?

No, thankfully my GNex is fine (I just tried it several times to make sure).
My Atrix and N1 both had that, and while I didn't notice in degradation in camera performance, when the phone vibrates it is super annoying...
I always thought it was the shutter.
If you hold the phone vertical and tap on the top back corners, you can hear it... sounds like a rattle. I think its just the shutter. Probably not a big deal.
Had this on my N1 and G2x. I've always heard this. I would assume some cases are worse then others
Guys, this is totally normal... The camera lens is not a fixed item. It has moving parts to enable autofocus. The iPhone does it, my last HTC Desire did it... and, I even found this poll for you which shows almost 90% of phones do it in that thread. (I bet the other 10% were not tapping it)
NORMAL

Any other verizon Htc ones having the purple/red low light issues? I just received mine yesterday and after about 10 seconds in the camera it will start to turn red or purple in low light. The first shot is usually ok but after that it gets really bad. Is there a consensus this is a hardware issue and not software related?

Is it the screen itself (while in the camera viewer) that's turning purple / red? And are we talking low enough light where it requires the flash? I'm curious if the shots you're taking while it's doing this are flashing or not - and the ones that are really bad, what's bad about them? Not focusing on anything?
I know exactly what you're talking about and it happens to me too. I found that changing the ISO to 100 alleviates the issue a bit, but its still there. I found a HUGE thread on this a week ago:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42400071
It seems it definitely gets worse when the phone is hot. I noticed this problem REALLY bad when I was trying to take pics while the phone was charging. It seemed to be better the next day though. I will try it again tonight.
My dad actually got an HTC One today as well so it was perfect to compare the camera. His camera doesn't seem to have the same problem ours do. I took pictures in similar lighting and his didn't depict any of the red/blue tint that I would get sometimes . Kinda bummed out. I'm afraid of returning it and then getting one that is even worse or getting dead pixels. Not to mention that you can no longer root/unlock at this point. Using flash will always fix the issue, but I don't think I want to resort to that.
No idea what to do.
Here is a picture to give you an idea how bad it is. When the flash is on it doesn't look like that but it's really out of focus. Even when I turn the iso to 100 it still looks the same. I to am worried about replacing it and getting one with worse issues. I'm thinking about going the moto x route with all the issues these phones seem to have.

I would imagine those scenarios are a small percentage of the time right? I'm not saying they're not noteworthy, but don't go with the Moto X just on camera alone. I tried out a Droid Maxx and the One's camera runs circles around it. That said, my one complaint with the One is that it can't handle situation's like you're describing - the uber-low-light scenarios that really need a flash. The problem is it doesn't light up the flash when it's trying to focus, and therefore can't focus because it can't see anything to focus on, and the flash shots will, a lot of times, end up blurry. The non-flash shots are pointless in that low amount of light, purple/reddish hue or not. .
Hello
My Note 4 gets pretty hot when using camera (either when camera is just on, taking just low as 3,4 pictures or using viber, Skype or tango). Phone becomes hot in back by camera and screen area itself. Once camera goes off everything it's back to normal in a minute. Does anyone else is experiencing something like this? I asked this on another thread but this way question might get more attention and more answers.
I just realized next: when I turn the camera on and put phone next to my ear there is something like static sound coming from speaker. As aoon I exit camera, that sound is gone... Can someone try this?
Thanks!
Wow... OK. Did anyone at least try to test for this sound and press home button while holding phone by the ear?
Update:
I just got of the phone with Best Buy and they confirmed couple cases of Note 4's overheating as well. Well, at least I am not the only one...

Hi there,
I have exactly the same problem. After open the camera and take few pictures the phone back and especially phone screen will be very hot. As soon as shutdown the camera and keep phone not used about 10 minutes the phone returns to normal. I was looking for the advice how to solve this problem but so far could not find any answer. if you have any good solution please post here for reference. Thanks
coming from the htc m7, im not used to my photos being post processed on the fly. i didnt know the first set of photos i took with the note 4 it was processing filter effects on my face which leaves me nice and smooth looking.
so im thinking all that extra cpu power during camera use for on the fly post processing could be heating your phone up.
maybe scrounge around the settings and try to turn all that off??
mine doesnt overheat, the screen does get brighter when using the camera as with most phones ive used which ive always thought was on purpose when using indoors and outside.

Don't have solution, I returned that Note 4 and got another one.
Hi there Everyone!
This is my Yureka Review, I got this Phone on 24th, Without Wasting Time...
Let's hit it
Please Correct me If I'm Wrong
1. Camera- So, This Phone's got A 13 MP back camera and 5MP front Camera...
The 13MP camera is great for Low Light Photos and Daylight pics are Awesome...
The CM camera App makes photos even Good...
The Back Camera shoots great Photos and Focus Makes it More Good...
The Front Cam is Awesome for taking Selfies with Camera Angle 88°... Really Great... I tell You!
2. Talking about the OS, It's got Cyanogen OS 11... Those who've used CyanogenMod may find it less customizable but those who haven't, Surely You'll love to Modify it...
3.Hardware
It's hardware is pretty good in ₹9K, I was getting the AnTuTu Benchmark Score 31291
I tell you, It's Really Great!!
4. Build Quality- The Phone is Nicely Made, With an LED Notifier at Top...
Volume Buttons on Left and Power Button at nearly Mid-Right
Jack at Top and Power at Bottom
If you get to Hold it, You'll Say- Man! It's so Light!
Yes!The first time I took it up, I thought the battery was not there put up inside but I was wrong, Even though the battery was there, It was light as air...
Well, Not actually...
It's Slim As Well, Quite Slim
I'm sure he was on workout and Dieting...
The back feels like some Carpet is put up... So comfortable and Strong Grip...
5. Bugs-
Now the Cons.
1. Phone gets heated up quick even if you're Running Facebook... But What I mean with Heating is, it gets lil warm at the top back... Nothing Much...
2. MY QUIZ UP RESTARTS OFTEN WHILE PLAYING...
3.As reported by our Forum Member Ajith, the charging get stuck at 99% and some Frames get missed even on Temple Run
But these Bugs are mostly, All most, Software bugs; Which Cyanogen has Promised to Kick 'em Over in Software Updates Coming in Feb...
So if you're looking to buy a phone Under ₹15000 for Now,
Surely, No doubt, Go for Yu Yureka...
But It's not that easy To get it...
Thanks For reading...

There is an issue with the proximity sensor, its not working some times.
Heating issue is present but it depends up on the apps. playing games like NFS is causing more heat than any normal games.
Rear cam is damn good no issues about that. never faced WIFI and random reboot issues
Yes, You might be having them but you see, They are only Software Bugs... Don't worry Man! We have software Updates Support...
There are many software bugs.
I think Cyanogen will fix all the bugs in future updates. No software is perfect out of the box! Let's see how cyanogen deals with the promises along with YU.
Reboot issue
I own Yureka & my phone restarted once or twice when I play game, especially Clash of Clans.
I guess this is the CPU heat issue, still checking. I have underclocked CPU to check if phone reboots randomly or not.
Will post results. Meanwhile if anyone have solution, I would be happy.
GK.

Hi,
So with these kind of issues like heating/reboot, etc.... you mean to say that we have some kind of solutions, and not to bother though every phone faces the same issues, if am i correct.
And, we can go and grab this phone though we get it below 10k which has good features where we dont sunch phone.
I'm impressed with 2GB-RAM mostly.

Hi. Thank you for reply.
Finally I have found solution.
I underclocked CPU to min 400 max 800 MHZ and set IO scheduler to noop (that is FIFO with very less CPU cycles)
I have found considerable less heat issue now without any lagging with COC. Also now battery lasts much longer than earlier. I am very happy. Cheers !

Hey! For those wondering how the camera on the Yureka really is, here's a screencast of the same so that you get a feel of what it really is! youtu.be/oSkgd8jwCKs
I'm not allowed to post links so please add http:/ in front of the above address to view.
Else search for screen cast recordings on youtube of each phone. You'll get a feel of how the camera really is
