I have this error once in a while, I just bought my note 4 last March! I have to restart my phone in order for it to work. It just happened lately. Any solutions?

What rom and kernel?

Most likely try wiping data under application settings in camera app. That should do it.

Its not rooted. Orig tmo stock.
How do I do it?

From a different thread:
Just go to:
- settings
- application manager
- scroll to "ALL"
- find "CAMERA"
- click on CLEAR CACHE and CLEAR DATA
-click OKAY despite the warnings (TRUST ME)
-restart your phone
Now check your camera again (crossing my fingers for you)
If that doesn't work the next step would be a factory reset.

Then if factory reset doesnt work. You need to call t mobile and have them warranty ot out.

Thanks guys

It worked for 2 days. Now when I opened my camera, its just black, no error message , cant take pix/vids. I clear the cache but still the same. I tried google camera ? but wont open either.
If it happened again will do factory reset.

Dude. Take it back . My camera NEVER acted like that when I first got it. Even with custom roms. That will certainly not help your situation considering this seems to be a hardware problem. Did you drop your device?

I bought it around March 9 2015, so the 14day return warranty is over. How is the warranty for Tmobile works? I didn't dropped it.

It's not months old like mine is. Just demand a new phone. If your doing payments. Why keep paying for something that isn't working properly? Is the sellers responsibility. Especially because of the "contract "

[Q] This is kinda weird.

Has anyone seen anything like this? Like, I don't know where this notification is originating from. I was using Handcent SMS, and I thought that's what it was. Nope, because it still happens after uninstall and installed Textra. It's not the stock messaging app either, that I can tell. I have no idea where it's coming from but I hate it. What's up with that little blue box that said "True" lol. Somebody help before I throw it in the pool. It just started happening today. I tried to retrace my steps and undo whatever I may have done, but I can't figure it out. Any ideas?

Like I said, I really don't know. I didn't install anything of consequence, really. I installed a skin for Swiftkey, but I went back to the previous skin I've been using for months and it persisted. I am just doing a factory reset because I'm tired of trying to figure it out. Maybe someone else has seen this before and will comment on it....

and if you don't figure out which app it is(yes, app, considering that's not default android), you'll factory reset then you'll probably install it again

I think I figured it out. "True." As in the app Truecaller. It's a phone number blocker I downloaded on the Play Store this morning. I was half asleep. I totally forgot about it.
Its truecaller, an app like caller id
edit: lol u already figured it out

Process system is not responding. Do you want to close it? <WAIT> <OK>

Ever since I've had this phone I've been experiencing the error in the title above. I've rooted, tried freezing apps I think might be the problem, and just tonight I unlocked the bootloader, which wipes everything, and was hoping the error would go away. It only happens the first time upon boot. I hit either Wait or OK and it goes away until next boot.
Not a big deal, but curious what's causing it. Just wondering if anyone has this issue.
This is the 16gb Prime version, rooted, debloated, unlocked bootloader.
Cheers!

I thought about that too, but I've tried two different carriers.. T-Mo, and Cricket. Both do it, regardless if one is in one slot or both are in either.
Like I said, it only does it after the first reboot, then I never see it again.

My LG G4 does this sometimes. Just click wait to avoid dropping a system process. It probably represents a random error during boot, but it never seemed to hurt anything enough to justify a full investigation.

My HTC 10 just gave me this system stopped responding error right after rebooting - Now I'm beginning to think it's just a new "feature" in Marshmallow. When I have some extra time, I'd like to see if I can figure out what does this - more for the sake of learning than anything else.

Possible Stop New Update 60% Battery Limit, Please Help

Hello,
Can someone please explain if its possible to stop the update that lowers your battery to 60 max charge? Im with tmobile, running on the PI4 and have NOT updated yet but I received my first warning. I want to keep this phone, I dont feel I'm at risk and I only charge the phone when Im awake. Please let me know if this is possble, and if you can point me in the right direction. I'm not a complete newbie but Im not pro either.
Thanks in advance for any help
Look for the new thread under questions and answers saying package disable pro. It'll solve your problem. I also got the update but didn't apply it from Tmobile. Using the steps outlined from the user in package disabler pro version number 6.3 it removed the update icon I had received. Again, be sure to follow the instructions from that new thread by not using the newest version. Use the 6.3 that the poster provided.
Link is below.

Yea im battling this now.
I been trying to exchange my phone but tmobile isnt selling the black s7 edges and i dont want the crappy sliver or gold one.
I have package setup amd havent gotten the update.
But my girl gotten the update today.
I used the package disable and it stop it but we will see how long

You have to also remember and be careful to not update Package Disabler Pro or EZ Disabler in the PlayStore. Samsung forced them to remove system updates from their apps. Sucks to have to manually update everything, but that is where we are at.

I know that wasn't meant for me, but absolutely no can do!! The phone I will get may not be released in the US until January, plus T-Mobile still has my bill jacked up! I'm not going to fight them for a full refund until they stop charging me for a phone I already paid for in full! I've been fighting them since September to correct my bill! Then, they have to clean up that mess of charges for the Tab and everything else. I'm using this baby until the day my refund is clear to be deposited directly back into my account with no problems AND when I can get my hands on the Huawei Mate 9!

Anyone else having water detection problems?

My note 8 has never been near or in any water, not even rain drops have hit it. Now randomly it will pop up and say water detected in usb port. Which doesn't really effect me being able to use the phone, I use a wireless charger anyway. It's just annoying that it keeps popping up from time to time. Sometimes it will go weeks without doing it, one time it popped up and the phone rebooted itself and the warning was gone when it restarted. I talked to sprint about it and they basically showed me the door telling me to go to samsung who was equally useless. The first time it happened it wouldn't go away for days and I finally did a factory reset. That worked for the last 3 months, now all of a sudden it's back again.

Check that your port doesn't have any excess lint in it. Also what software version are you on. I think there's one with a bug dealing with the port and causing the device to reboot.
It's clean and I'm on official oreo, not rooted, only custom thing I've done is make a theme using the themeGalaxy app.
I'm getting this quite a lot now. First time it lasted 3 days before it cleared itself. I've had it today but cleared on a day. Deffo a software thing as the port looks clear to me.

And you can't downgrade either, so be sure before pulling the trigger
I don't really care about root, I just want to make sure I flash the right one. Anyone know where I can make sure I find the right one for sprint? And I'm guessing I have to use Odin for it right?

Go to sammobile or updato.com, put it your model number, and you should be able to find the latest firmware for your specific model there. Yes you would need to use Odin (be sure to read up on the instructions in the other threads and be familiar with the process before jumping into it...saves time in the end ).

Okay awesome, I'm fairly familiar with Odin, used it on my note 3 back in the day and it's what I used to get the note 8 to Oreo. I was really just concerned with what version I could go to and from, I know in the note 3 days you couldn't skip certain updates. So you were stuck sitting there updating your phone like 3 times through Odin just to get to the version you wanted.
the moisture in charging port is a know error since S8/S8+ and Samsung is well aware of it.
I had it on my first Note8 and there's a few things you can try, cleaning the charging port with gently with alcohol wipes - delete cache in USB in system apps - factory reset -
But best option is to back up everything and flash latest software using Odin.
I ended up just sending mine in for warranty repair as it was only 2 months old

forgot to say that you can still charge using the cable but you need to first turn off the phone and then connect the cable just as the boot up starts

Note 9 poor battery life on Android Pie! (Snapdragon)

So Guys I'm having a really poor battery life on my Note 9 on Android 9. I get aprox 5 hours screen ontime, I used to get 8-9 hrs on beta pie or oreo. I just use my phone for social media apps, YouTube and stuff. Is there any one else who's having this issue? Can anybody recommend something to me for improving the battery life?
...........
Its a serious concern guys, battery life was the main reason I bought this phone for and its a real shame that the battery is so damn poor on latest update!

I used to have the same issue, but for some reason it's stopped after I disabled software updates. Now, I get close to 10 hrs.
Also, check these two in the screenshot out in developer options. Read on them and see what you can disable. They have a huge impact.

I wouldn't exactly say it's effed up but I will say I think isn't it just OneUI 1.0? It's the first build they have some stuff to iron out and tweaking to do. Battery usually gets fixed with an update here or there not a major one but one tailored for it. I'll give it time myself

I wasn't able to update any of the Samsung apps through the galaxy app store. Specifically "good lock". It always threw an internet connection error for me. It just messes with the galaxy app store in general.
Hmmm odd both of mine are disabled and mine update just fine. Agian was just curious.
