Try several different cameras, such as focal, picarts, vsco cam and see if there's a difference.

If that doesn't work you can try reinstalling the firmware yourself.

Since it's not an app issue then it's either firmware or hardware. Since hardware is the least likely and also the worst possible outcome, I'd follow the above link and reinstall the stock firmware. Try doing a factory reset first if you'd find that easier.

You'll have to choose a i9295 ROM to flash then (here). If you don't already have CWM then push it with Odin (here)

If the front camera worked properly before the OTA, then it's a software issue, if not then it may be a hardware issue.

It's somewhat unlikely that it's a hardware issue but it's still possible, more so since you've flashed fresh stock firmware. Your warranty is already void at this point (there's ways to "unvoid" it) despite the fact that you've flashed stock firmware. Flashing sets of a flsh counter regardless. I can link you to information on how to remove this later if you like...
You should try flashing a non-stock ROM such as CM or SlimBean, or even the deodexed stock ROM and see if that makes a difference. You can flash back later and use triangle away and unroot the device to return its warranty.

Even if it happened after OTA, could possibly just be bad timing.

He is stock and not rooted. Could that be the problem? That he didn't do a factory reset? Judging by the fact that he didn't ever root the device?

did you try his s-pen on another note?
don't have another note to try it on... will sugest going to an orange or vodafone for that
PS: he said after a software update it stopped working... could that be the issue... and be a coincidence the pen broke when he updated the soft.
PS2: dunno if the pen has anything inside that can break:-?
yeah..first of all be sure the s-pen still working good, maybe a coincidence but everything is possible
true ... i agree... will advise him to do that
Just try flashing a different stock rom/kernal. Its probably just a software issue (yes even though it's probably official due to updating from kies). They're all located in the development section

I have flashed this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2110245 with ODIN in PDA mode, and now the phone have no signal, and Baseband is displayed as Unknown.

Sure it can be done by software, because there is a samsung service tool, which cost a lot of money, and that can fix this only from software.

It didn't work, so I sent the phone to a specialised service, they told me that there is a 50% change they can fix it and if not then I can throw the phone, and if they can fix it then it will cost $40-45

Have you tried it downgrading to GB? I suppose that's where your phone was working, right? Do you still have the warranty, if yes, flash everything back to stock and than try to send it to Samsung, but it can be that you phone regains the IMEI and other info back, have read this from similar threads from multiple devices with the same problem.
downgrading to GB did not help, I don't think the warranty will cover this...the custom flash counter is 16

maybe the phone was locked on some network and that's the cause for all the trouble. Try with triangle away to reset the counter, install GB as it was in the beginning, go to service and keep your fingers crossed. You have nothing to lose.

My phone was neverlocked, and it's multi-region, the original firmware had the same code as the Hong Kong phones, and I am located in Europe.
When I flashed this Russian JB rom, I got a warning message on the phone: WARNING: Custom Modem ! ...very strange !
That custom modem is responsable for the whole issue. Unfortunately my knowledge is limited and I'm unable to help you.
Still, my advice is the same: flash GB, reset that counter and go to samsung service. Probably they will discover that you flashed another FW, but at least you'll know if and how it can be repaired.

Let's say that 4.3 update has knox bootloader and not everyone wants to void their warranty by updating theirs.
Hmm.. It is also possible to flash only kernel by MobileOdin, I am curious whether it will boot then...

[Q] Phone doesn't do anything, only backlight is on

Hi. My friend has an SP, it's stock and unrooted, and a few weeks ago the phone started to hang on black screen with backlight on. Of course he tried to reset the phone with the button under the battery, with no success. He returned it to the store, they only reflashed the stock rom, it worked for a day now it's the same. Has anybody find any solution to this? I tried to search for exact similar problems, but I couldn't find any with proper answers. I think he is on 4.3. Thanks for any help!

For that fix to work you need to be rooted. I don't wanna root or anything. I just want stock rom with everything stock and still no deep sleep error. In simole words, I want my phone to be in a condition as it was when I bought it.
