Hi,
I searched for threads on this problem and found similar ones but not exactly as my problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=871124
I tried getting the Angry Birds app and my phone had a message saying I didn't have enough space. I then started getting the message "Sorry! Process.com.android.phone is not responding. Force Close." I uninstalled some apps, including the app I just downloaded. Rebooted the phone and now I cannot see a menu.
I see a black screen with that message popping up constantly. I can connect my SD card to the computer. I can go into the debug mode. My WiFi is still on with my simcard still working. Still no menu, just a black screen.
I know my phone is rooted. Forgot which firmware. I found a file with update-cm-5.0.8-DS.
I don't want to lose any contacts on this phone. Is there a way I can get them before doing a hard or factory reset? Also, how do I do these resets?
Thanks in advance.
Try booting up in safe mode by holding the menu button while powering up.
If your phone is registered with your google account, your contacts should automatically get saved on that.
Staff today presented a strange problem on my razr i. When I turn on the camera screen went black and the phone crashed ... Ai pressed the home button and then again tried to return to the camera, but I had no success. I tried to turn the phone off and on again to see you worked. At the time of the phone now inicicar 4x was taking more time to turn on the phone than the normal time. And every time I try to enter the camera I get a sms saying that the camera can not inicicada, I tried to do a restore to factory but nothing worked. I have locked bootloader and have no root. and I'm using Jelly Bean. I tried several things and nothing. tried clearing cache and data from camera but nothing works, tried to install another app camera but nothing works. I am to send the asistencia, someone would have a solution.
Most of the time when I open the camera I have a 2-4 second wait for the app to open, anyone else? It does open but takes forever. If I have used it recently, within 10-15 minutes it is pretty snappy, 1-2 seconds at most.
I did install the google camera app but the problem predates that. It opens faster, but focuses slower so in usage it isn't any better.
At any given moment I may need 3-5 seconds to take a pic with either app. Certainly a 1st world problem but a nuisance when I want a spontaneous pic.
Anyone heard of this as precursor to the failed camera problem?
No that is not a problem.

My gf has exactly the same problem. I'm gonna try the following steps:
You might find that a simple restart does the trick. Hold down the Power button and select the Restart option. The problem may return.
Try going to Settings > Application manager and select the camera app. Tap on Force stop, Clear cache, and Clear data.
Try clearing the cache partition. Hold the power button and choose Power off then press and hold the Volume up key, the Home button, and the Power button. When the phone vibrates, release the Power button, but keep holding the other two. When you see the Android System Recovery screen you can let go. Use Volume down to choose wipe cache partition and press Power to select it then, when it’s done, press Power again to Reboot System Now.
There’s a chance that an app is causing the problem. Any app that uses camera functions, including flashlight apps, could be the culprit. The fast way to check this is to reboot in safe mode. Hold down the power button and select Power off then hold down the power button to turn it on again and when you see the Samsung screen come up, release the power button and press and hold the Volume down key. You’ll know it worked if it says Safe mode in the bottom left corner. If the camera works then it’s definitely a problem with an app you installed. Hold down the power button and choose Restart to get back out of Safe mode.
If you’re using a microSD card to save photos try removing it, save them elsewhere, and see if that makes a difference.
Back up anything important and try a factory reset via Settings > Backup and reset > Factory data reset.
Have you solved the problem yet?
It may or may not be related to this...

If it continues, exchange it for another S5.

I did clear the cache and I switched to internal storage. Also I uninstalled Google' camera app, which I thought would be neat but never used after 1st launch; it seems a little faster but I'll have to use it a few days to see. It may be my SD, as it is pretty old.
Safe Mode didn't effect any change.
I'd never tried to enter recovery on this phone and inadvertently entered Download mode instead. I blame my overly large fingers for it. Gave myself a moment of concern as I only see DL mode when I first root a device, almost 2 years ago for my last phone. I'd forgotten that the "DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET" warning didn't mean much without Odin running.
If this isn't an indicator of a upcoming camera issue I'm not too worried about the lag, if it fails it has a warranty....

Yeah.. I mentioned that in OP. That problem usually presents as a "Camera has failed" message according to articles, there is no reference to any symptoms prior to failure.
Try going to Settings > Application manager and select the camera app. Tap on Force stop, Clear cache, and Clear data.

I'm also having the same issue, doing a restart or clearing cache/data on the camera app just fix the issue temporarily, after couple of days it gets super slow again.
I've also started to run into this issue. The camera will take several seconds to load, then freeze for a second or two. This happens after I haven't used the camera for a while. The gallery, however, always takes several seconds to load when launched from the camera. Both of these still happen whether the camera is set to store on internal memory or my microSD card.
Are there any solutions that anyone has found?

If I have the image stabilization turned on it makes my camera crawl too. Turning it off seemed to help, at least some.

This has really begun to annoy me, as the weather turns nicer here I find that I am using the cam more frequently and the delay is aggravating.
Clearing cache helps a little, and turning off Image Stabilization seems to have helped also. Still a few seconds longer than I like but better. This thing should open a major built-in app faster than it does, I think it did at first.
I may do a factory reset and see if that helps, if not I may seek an exchange from AT&T or Samsung...

Starting this evening around 5ish my phone has suddenly started freezing, every app I open "stops responding" and eventually just goes to a black screen with the navigation buttons at the bottom, but the buttons won't respond when pressed. The whole process from startup to complete freeze is roughly five to ten minutes?
I've booted into Recovery mode and wiped the cache partition, I've uninstalled any new apps that I've added this week, I've cleared the caches for Google Play Store/services.
I can't even get into settings to do much of anything because it freezes too and won't respond.
The phone also seems to be running kind of hot?
Any ideas please? It's a stock Blu R1 HD, no root or anything.

Being that you are not rooted, the only option to try is factory reset from stock recovery. And if that does not help there is nothing you can do.
My XZ1c just updated some apps and the system ui crashed.
After restarting I get the security pin unlock screen, then the screen turns black.
When I press the camera button, I get to see the camera screen but the message "system ui has stopped" keeps popping up.
Can't seem to get anywhere other than camera or restart. same thing also happens in safe mode.
I never rooted my phone or changed rom or anything like that only used nova launcher.
I would appreciate your help.
