Camera and Charging Problem

X8 running MiniCM7 2.1.9 with nAa kernal-11
Camera
First access to camera since boot, it shows blank with camera framework there.
If i exit and return back to camera, the screen is now complete blank without camera framework. There saw once i got "Could not conect to camera" error.
Charging
Charge when phone is turned off, screen appreads with battery charging image. If i press on/off button to boot up rom, it stops charging(shown in settings>about phone>phonestatus) but my LED notification shows constant red.
Battery icon shows 0%
Sometimes after boot up it discharge at 18% and after sometime(i dont know how long or maybe it keeps on repeating) the phone restarts. and turn to 0%
Could it be virus? Cause my SDcard folders' name start to change to weird symbols.
Or because i dropped my phone on the floor?

Have you ever try to full wipe your phone?
Try to reinstalling your ROM, maybe it will help

Forgot to mention, i reinstalled 5-6 times the rom.
But havent data wipe.
Will the data cause these issues??

After i fix my sdcard, now the phone can be charged, but camera still dont work.

Do u have any partitions on ur SD card?that MIGHT have caused the camera issue.

no, 1 partition, FAT32, i didnt do anything to partition before this problem.
And now again the charging problem came, after i reinstall the rom.

Dont forget u need to factory reset after installing,it will only remove the stuff on ur phone not the memory card,anyway u can install em back
EDIT:Wait if i remember correctly,i used to use minicm7.2.x and after u install the kernel and rom u ALSO need to install gapps.zip files by flashing them with CWM,u better double check with the guys over at minicm thread .used to have charging problems cuz i forgot to install gapps.zip as adviced by them.
EDIT2:Yup u need to install gapps (google apps) there is a link there for you to download it,all u need to do is follow all the instruction given and it will be fine.

did you try to revert back to Stock ROM and Kernel?
if the problems gone, i think that's not a hardware problem..
do you have somekind like travel charger? you can charge your battery if your phone won't charge..

did you try different charger? maybe the problem is in your charger,

Listen here,its IMPORTANT to install gapps if u havent alrdy.
Step 1 flash kernel
Step 2 reboot to CWM then factory reset (full wipe) MAKE SURE U DO THIS.
Step 3 install rom minicm7.2.1.x and then gapps
Step 4 reboot,takes 2 ~ minutes
GAPPS is a VITAL Step it has nothing to do with ur charger nor hardware.
Edit:i know i might not be an x8 user anymore,but i had that problem because i didnt read the instructions propely.
Edit2: im using a apple wall charger and it works fine,charging my Xperia Neo V.

if don't facing the problem with stock rom/ stock kernel, then your phone doesn't work perfectly with custom kernel or ROM. or maybe there are step that you didn't take it

maybe, but first time i unlock bootloader, and use minicm7, no problem at all.
and there's some problem with battery now. Overnight 100% will become 0 %
I think its because malfunctioning camera keep running background, let me try to freeze it and see the result.

or, you can try to reinstall your custom ROM, and then full wipe data.
don't install any application except the preinstalled application built-in with ROM.
let the phone running normaly, if your battery doesn't face the problem, maybe there's some application causing that problem in your phone

Woke up this morning, my Note was dead...

Hi there,
I had no problem with my Note until this morning when I woke up.
My Note was turned off, I tried to turn it on, impossible.
I plugged the usb wire and I saw the battery logo and it was fully drained.
It's weird because I usually hold 2 days with my phone and yesterday, before sleeping, the battery was almost full.
More than that, I use Green Power, so all the connectivity services shut down during the night, there's almost no battery consumption.
So, I tried to turn it on, many times, impossible... it's stuck at the blinking Samsung logo.
I use the LQ2 rom with the Franco's kernel R5.
I've also tried to wipe cache & Dalvik's cache in recovery, but that doesn't change anything.
I'm beginning to be a bit worried because I've red some post on the forum saying that the Note's CPU can burn...
Please help ! Thanks !

are you overclocked? but even if you are, if the device goes into deepsleep, it can't burn...
i wonder what really happened..

How long have you had Franco 5 running on it?
I got stuck at flashing logo when I tried to upgrade from Rocket ROM 3 to 4.1. Ended up having to do factory reset. Now on RR4.1 with CF kernel. Hoping it stays stable.
So if all else fails do the factory reset as per ROM instructions and hope that gets you through.

I don't overclock the device, I try to run it as simple as possible, as long as I have Gmail, I'm happy.
I don't know what happened... I was running Franco's R5 since the day he released it, without any single problem !
I'm now on a Windows, I'll try to run Odin and flash it.

Yes, no idea what appened.
But the best is to flash a wipe stock Rom from Odin PC.

How to check if my cpu is not burned ?

I flashed a new rom with Odin, the phone doesn't boot anymore...
The file I flashed: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/159007364/ad4ff19/N7000XXLQ2_N7000OXELP6_SER.zip.html
What can I do more ?

I hope your PBA is not cooked like mine. I was on franco's kernel too before I could revert back to safety, it was dead. Are you able to get in download mode? When flashing or wiping, do you get errors on datafs or factoryfs?

If you have warranty, Samsung service center

What do you mean with PBA ?
I can go into download mode and before flashing the rom with Odin, I could go into recovery without any problem.
I don't have errors with datafs and factoryfs.
I think my phone is dead... ok I have to live with it... but I really would like to know why.

PBA is the motherboard. Does it get stuck at Samsung logo or nothing happens at all when you press vol up+home+power?

First of all the CPU is fine, since you see the Recovery screen.
From Recovery flash Abyss 4.2, reboot Recovery (from Advances).
Wipe user data, Cash and Dalvik Cash,
Flash any ROM.
I had a very similar problem. Resolved by reverting to Franco R4.
Good luck!

When I do that, before flashing the latest rom, I was going into recovery.
Now that I flashed it, I land into a "Android system recovery (3e)".
It's a blue menu like the CWM Recovery but with less options.
I suppose that this is the default recovery system bundled by Samsung...

Now that I flashed the original rom, I lost root, how can I do that ?

When I first got my TMobile Galaxy S2, the first day it died completely while I was sleeping. I tried turning it on and I would feel the vibration of the phone trying to turn on but it wouldn't. I figured the battery had drained so I plugged it in the charger, but the phone wouldn't stay off and charge, it would try turning on over and over. It went into a crazy bootloop. It was my first time with the phone so I thought it went crazy and called samsung.
Eventually the phone got enough of a charge to power on completely without shutting down. I eventually realized that if my phone died completely, what I had to do was use my Car Charger, which didn't turn my phone on and showed me the little battery indicator showing it was charging.
I don't know if this is similar to what you experienced but hope it helps.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

a similar thing happened to me earlier,
I would advise you not to have wiped anything whilst on ICS even with franco kernel.
If you can go to download mode, do so then using pc odin flash a stock rooted GB rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
then flash cwm recovery. following this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
then wipe data, cache and everything else.
you should be back to GB then flash whatever rom you want, I would advise you to flash paranoidandroid which is superb.
the only difference I had with you, is that i did not wipe data or cache whilst on ICS so this may not work for you as you have done that.
But this method worked for me.

Ok, I'll try to flash the GB rom, and I'll be back to get you update of the situation...
I think I'll be back on HTC soon... I don't understand why the phone reacted like that...

Weired Problem...Plz Help

Hi guys,
recently i had a problem with my phone whenever i change my battery the date show as 1 jan 2000 and i had to rectify it manually..I thought cause i was on a custom rom ..so i flashed philz safe kernel (latest 2.99) and JB GT-N7000XXLSC_N7000OXALSC_N7000XXLSC rom...
everything was ok until...i replaced my battery again as i use two batteries on the go and then my fone was stuck again on the first boot samsung image...when i tried the up+home+power keys it went to the original safe recovery android rather than philz ... it looks like everytime i replace battery this is going to happen again...any one had same issue ...i was reading the posts on this forum and someone had similiar issue with battery and was suggested it is a fault on the fone itself....
any suggestions are welcomed ..and thx in advance

How did you flash the xxlsc rom?

Hi thx for reply...i used oden ...pressed the down+power +home then it went to download mode then oden pc connected thru cable...

When you installed the new rom, philz recovery was replaced by the stock recovery. And JB leak has issues of getting bootloops if not shut down properly. So when you power off the phone wait till the last haptic feedback and then change the battery. Still not 100 % but will save some bootloops

yeah although after i installed jb i reflashed again philz...but i will keep an eye on this ..as i suspect could be hardware issue ...usually it should not lose the time and date once you replace battery ...

its normal on that rom I think

[Q] My Xperia Z doesn't boot ....

Heys guys,
Never had such a problem: my Z doesn't boot any longer.
What happened: my BL is open, my phone's rooted, and yesterday I flashed the DoomKernel v12 (no more wifi-reboots!).
Everything worked fine, and before I felt asleep, I turned my phone off and charged it with my dock. Something strange happened: I saw the Kernel Bootanimation for short, then the symbol for charging.
Now this morning I want to turn it on: DoomKernel, then short "Xperia" (?, never had this before), then the boot animation, which never ends.
I try to flash system and kernel with the flashtool, with no success. I still can access my dual recovery and the fastboot mode, I've done a backup with TWRP, just in case.
Do you have an idea, what I should try? I don't want to flash everything to stock (if possible).
Thanks in advance!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275632

Doesn't really help me :/

I even try to restore everything with flashtool (wipe everything and flash everything), still got the same problems....
Maybe because of the DoomLord Kernel v12?
Is there a way for booting with adb or something like that?

OK guys, it's over now, SUS dit it.... But only after the third or forth try...
Can be deleted / closed, thank you!

Can u please elaborate how u did it.I have a similar problem n I have tried most methods in this forum with zero luck.My device was rooted but not unlocked.But it died anyway.Now its stuck on bootloops.I would like to know in a little more detail what u did to make yours work again.Thanks in advance.

Device doesn't boot!!

I was using CM12 for quite a long time. Then I received an OTA update to CM13. After using it for a few days the device suddenly crashed and wouldn't switch on since then. Whenever I try to switch it on, it vibrates three times. If I connect a charger, it vibrates three times. If I connect to my PC, it vibrates three times.
Sometimes suddenly it boots up and then again crashes in the middle, and vibrates three times.
Is it some kind of hardware problem? :crying:

Hey there! I think it's some infection from the CM ROM. The same happened to me.
The best you can do is submit your phone to the centre, that is if it goes into flashing.
I think it's some ram problem or CM's internal boot file corruption, after the latest OTA.
