Since the last update o to UI 5, my camera settings are not accessible. When activated the menu flashs for maybe 2 seconds and then disappears. I dont want to have to reset my phone to factory. Help plz
Don't upgrade/update firmware if you don't want to break things...
Try in safe mode to rule out a 3rd party app causing it.
Clear system cache.
Clear cam app data.
Check for cam app updates.
If those fail, factory reset and hope that works.
If that fails it will need to be reflashed and/or rolled back. A Samsung Experience center at best buy can do that for you.

using a non-rooted factory default Galaxy Note 2.
I booted it today, then the msg appeared.
i've tried uninstalling the app that i have recently installed thinking that there is conflict.
but still not helping.
anyway to solve this error?
Try clearing data and cache..It should fix
Sent from my AweSoMe ☆♥Note2♥☆
hope what @mannyvinny said helps, I've had this problem once and tried everything (my device was rooted, and restores with TB didn't solve it)
the final solution was a factory reset, then restoring apps from titanium one by one (except for S-note) and then it worked
also, I removed all my notes from the Snotes folder on the sdcard, started snote once, then put the files back in and started it again
(it's 5am here, so if I don't make any sense, I blame life)
As @tmils said he is using factory non-rooted stock, clearing data and cache from app manager is the only way..but if It was rooted,then it would've been fixed using few clicks(using titanium backup)
Titanium Backup is boon for rooted users!

I had the same issue, reloaded firmware, clear data and cache with no fix. I thought about to do a factory reset, but just b4 I was going to do it. I suddenly have an idea just flashed in my mind. This is what I did.... go to setting > my device > S pen > put a check mark on the "Open Popup Note when the pen is detached". Then back to the home screen, pull out the S pen and a mini S note will open. Close it and now you should be able to open the regular S Note. It works on my Note 2. Good luck guys.
It helps but not for long. After a little while problem coming back. For me problem started right after I upgraded to 4.3.
I don't feel like removing everything and cleaning cache as I have notes I don't want to delete. Is samsung planning to release fix for this I'm wondering.
fixed

Thx!!! That seems to have fixed it for me. Now if they would put back the ability to take pictures from video, I'd be set...

Are you rooted?
If not, backup your data and do a factory reset.
No i am not rooted. This is my first android phone and i have a lot of apps and contacts on my phone. How can i save them before resetting the device ?
Thanks
In case you're actually in need of a factory reset you can sync your contacts & apps to your Google account. Probably they are already there. You can also check the LG backup & reset in Settings.

You can use SuperBackup App from the market. Here is the link --> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idea.backup.smscontacts&hl=en
With this u can backup Contact,SMS, Apps (w/o data).
As the multitasking button is a softkey, so i believe its a software based issue and 90% chances are that Factory reset should solve your problem.
Try this and revert back.
Thank you very much this has worked !
Hello again guys,
So i've done factory reset .and all and as i mentioned before everything returned to normal...for a week! And this problem occured once again and i really don't want to do any reset again.
Thanks
On a 2013 LTE Nexus 7 with the latest 5.0.2 installed, my home button doesn't work. The back and recent apps buttons work fine, but the home button doesn't do anything. Like the rest of the buttons, it responds to touch with an animation, but it doesn't take me home, ever, and it also doesn't launch Google Search on hold. I've read in other posts that there should be a "Home" menu option in Settings under the Device section, but I don't have that either. Another oddity, quick settings pulldown from the status bar isn't working. I can pull down the notification tray, but cannot pull down the quick settings above it.
Doing some tinkering of my own, I can tell you the following:
Wiping the data partition resolves the problem, but I'm trying to keep my user accounts, home screens, apps intact, hence my continued search for solution
Using a different launcher (Google Now Launcher via Play Store), the home button works fine but I'd rather use the default system Launcher
Reflashing the factory system image doesn't resolve the problem
There are no force close error messages
Clearing data/cache for the Launcher app doesn't resolve the problem
Clearing all cached data (through the storage menu option within settings, for each user) also doesn't resolve the problem
I have been tinkering (root, multirom, etc) but right now I'm on a fresh, unrooted factory system image, but with my "dirty" data partition (I'm trying to keep my user accounts, home screens, apps intact)
Any ideas of what might be upsetting the Launcher app? Next steps?
Same here.
I haven't tried your entire list, but I've done a few of them. Oddly, when i hit "recent apps", i can then hit "home" and it works. But that's the only time. And my notifications seem to be dead, as well as quick settings...
Background: I'm all stock. I got a system update notice for 5.1.1, which i was pretty sure i already had. So while checking my current OS version, I ended up verifying that i was up to date already. Shortly thereafter, the home button stopped responding and the tablet froze up. I can't remember if it rebooted by itself or if i had to long press the home button to get it to turn off. But when it came back on, it's like everything went factory reset (all the homescreens returned to factory), but all my apps are still there in the app drawer, but they all act as if i just installed them. I have to go into them and re-login to all of them and change all their settings to how i like them. And the homescreens will need to be redone. And the "home" button and notifications still don't work. Tried Nova, but that doesn't fix any of the issues for me. I may try the Google Now Launcher next.
It looks like ahoyboyhoy has tried flashing factory image and it doesn't help, so i'm not going to factory reset if I'll be stuck in the same situation in the end.
To follow up on *my* experience with this problem, I ended up having to format the data partition, so basically a full factory reset. After that, everything was back to normal and I restored apps from a backup.

Thanks for the update! Were you stock? If so, what was the best way you found to do a backup/restore of apps? Did it handle app data? I tried using Helium a few years ago on an HTC device, but I ran into problems that couldn't be overcome. Does Android's built-in backup option work well? I never have had good app data recovery with the buil-in option...

I was stock rooted and I think I used My Backup Pro. Not sure if you need a paid version or root access to backup app data, but I was able to back up apks+data and although it wasn't as seamless as a TWRP backup, it was better than doing things manually.
Keep getting this error on my phone.
There is not error when running on safe mode.
I have already perform factory reset but it doesn't help.
It is T-Mobile Stock ROM.
com.android.phone keeps stopping
I'm getting the same thing this morning. It wasn't happening yesterday. I'm using a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, stock ROM, T-mobile carrier.

Hard resets are good for Trojans, worms, viruses and old loads but most times not much more.
If it's a software or settings issue you will likely toggle it again on the new load. Track it down and learn.
Be patient and keep observing the behavior/doing google searches/trying different things until you sort it out.
PD MDM is useful as you can block packages and also easily clear caches and data.

Disable automatic updates; destroyer of worlds. Set apps back to their factory load. It may be one of the Google updates... and as always clear the system cache on the boot menu.
This started happening on my wife's S10+ with factory T-mobile September update. Performed a factory reset, it started happening again later that night. I then tried reloading the factory OS through Odin and the problem again came back later in the night.
There has to be something with some software or setting trying to pull a network setting or something. No problem in safe mode, but no apps really load.
She ended up going to T-mobile store and upgrading to S20+ . Hope it doesn't come back!

•Added: this sounds like an update induced issue. Reset any associated apks back to factory load but don't reload OS, lol.
It could be a Google system apk.
Shotgun get it done... you can update them latter.
Reloads are not the solution most times; techs are either inept, lazy and maybe just enjoy screwing with customers. Of course they wuv selling new phones too.
Only persistent is omnipotent...
Clear the app cache in Samsung Device Care>memory.
When you see it go south go back to there and see which apks just loaded (most recent are at the top).
Many times you can get useful clues like this to find really nasty little misbehaving monsters.
Developer options>running apps/cache may useful too.
Use a package blocker like PD MDM to interrogate suspect apks. Lol trial by fire.
Try disabling it, if that gets it then try enabling it again but clear the cache*, if that doesn't get it try clearing data. Or you may need to leave it disable or uninstall it.
Again turn off all autoupdates so if it's one of those you see it go south when -you- update it. Most updates are overrated anyway... some are destroyers of worlds.
*clearing cache/data in settings leaves behind what I assume are nulls. PD MDM were completely clears these. This can be very useful with system apks.
Best to use this app for troubleshooting because of this. It's saved me from a reload more then once.
for 1 year since i update my samsung M30 to android 10 my camera (front camera) when i switch to it the app freeze ... so can you help me please ?
Have you done a factory reset?
Best to do after a major update.
Does it work in safe mode?
If so it's likely a 3rd party app causing the issue.
Yeah i try the factory reset and the safe mode , in the begging of issue the saafe mode work but he didn't now
