Pictured got green whin I turned on flash light - Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers

It was alright before. I captured one today. That got green when i turned on flash light. Then I checked third party app. It also got green. Is it for the august update? Plz help.

Backup your phone with Samsung Smart Switch and re-flash the newest firmware for your carrier. Before restoring the backup test the camera... If the problem persists, it is likely hardware related (bad camera module) and will need to be sent in for repair.
If the camera suddenly works, restart the phone and try again a few times to be sure it keeps working...
Then just restore your backup and try again. If it does it again, it's software related and you should reset and ONLY restore the files you REALLY NEED.... NO SETTINGS OR APPS!!
Good Luck!

[Q] 3rd party apps crashing on system startup, even after a new firmware! HELP!!!

I have a swiss 16gb I9000 running the jpu firmware (at the time). at first it worked, but then I took it out to make a call, and alot of crashed apps pop ups apeard. I can now no longer run any 3rd party apps and the phone is barly usefull.
I tried flashing over a new kernal, but that did not work so i did the next best thing: I flashed a NEW firmware (JPY) but nothing changed. It is still useless.
Has anyone encounterd this befor? or does anyone know a fix?
Best regards
Ethan j. s. Lyons
You could download rom manager and fix permissions.. That might help
edit:
Did you wipe data and wipe cache partition before flashing?
If not, run these two options in recovery mode and flash the firmware again
i cannot run any 3rd party apps.
I edited my post. Please have a look at it
yeah i will try that tomorrow when i have some more time
no luck with fixing the permisions.
did a complete factory reset etc. and my device failed to boot up. couldn't fix it so i wen't down to my provider's shop and they said they will send it to be repaired. that should take around two weeks to complete.
I would like to thank you for trying, even though it didn't work

Flashed kdz with lg software, imei and boot problems.. Help please

. I flashed the KZ file with lg update software as explained in the XDA thread but I could not get the process to work right. My phone kept disconnecting at 28% and it would not turn on no matter what I did. It would only make a short vibrate as if it was turning on, and the computer would notice it but only for a short time. And never once did a light on the screen, or LG logo, or anything at all ever appear.
I figured I had really screwed it up, but when I plugged it into the wall it booted up perfectly. All my data was in tact and the rom i had flashed through cwm was still there, not the kdz file that I flashed with the lg software.. I noticed that my sim card did not come up as being in the phone at all. I looked in system setting status and noticed that all info related to my imei said unknown. I opened up the mfg app (277634#*# from the phone app).. Under "version info" then "factory version" my phone now says xmm6260.. It always used to say p925..etc... Even after flashing the zip to debrand from at&t this never changed from p925 even when every other aspect of my phone has.. I was hoping maybe once I put in an activated sim card everything would be fine and my phone would be unlocked which is why i flashed through lg software.. But seeing as how other people are having this similar issue and their phones not seeing the sim card, well im looking for some advice.. Should I try and re flash kdz file through lg software again? if i do, im going to do it on my XP computer this time, not Windows 7..
Just wanted to add that I did try wiping data and cache from cm and no dice.. Root and CMW work fine but no matter what I do, if my phone is turned off, i cannot boot up or boot to cwm or boot at all unless i plug the phone into a wall carger and then once its on it stays on and i can unlug.. SORRY ABOUT THE LONG POST, THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP..
I would reflash CWR first and foremost, then try to flash back to stock.
No IMEI/GSM Radio
Hi, were you able to fix your problem? If so, could you please give me a hand, I have same problem.
Im attaching a couple of screen shots, one where you can see that IMEI is not shown and other is where you see the phone number thats on the SIM but has a sign like if no SIM were inserted.
Using the KDZ detects the IMEI, but after flashing it doesnt show up on phone.
Thanks
Took my phone to a cellphone shop and they fixed it. Everything is back to stock and working normal.
Hi ive got the same problem, did you fix it?
Yes, my phone is working perfect at stock. Im going to wait for GB ir ICS with a working 850MHz baseband.

[Q] Galaxy S i9000 won't factory reset and force closes frequently - now with logcat

Hello all,
please forgive me first of all because I've had very little sleep due to this issue. And its a long thread, but more detail is better generally I believe.
First, some background, and unfortunately, it starts with my wifes phone.
My wife has a Galaxy S GT-i9000 on Orange in the UK. She has had it, probably about a year maybe at most. She has a few apps that she has downloaded but nothing major and on first looks when I got it nothing I expect would cause this issue, just facebook etc.
My wife came home and said, my phone keeps coming up with a message saying force close. Ahh, I thought, some apps gone nuts, but alas, it appeared to be many apps including Maps, Google Upload (I assume this is a system process), Facebook Katana and many more, probably about 20 Force Close messages pop up one after the other and it lags whilst trying.
Odd, I thought, I also noticed the icon for one of the apps on her homescreen had changed to the default White and Green one with the android on it.
I suspected something had gone wrong (obviously), I asked if she had rebooted it and she said she had. So, I rebooted it again, just incase. Same problem.
I then thought it might need an update, it was running official Kies 2.3.3 (or was it 2.3.4, I forget) so I plugged it into my netbook and ran Kies, had to update that as it didn't have the latest application update. I then started the firmware update, after backing up the phone using Kies.
Halfway through the update, Kies popped up a message saying something went wrong and that I had to unplug the phone, take out the battery and reboot. Odd, I thought as the phone was telling me to not doing anything. I waited a minute, nothing further happened, so I did this. Then I got the Black Screen of Death with the phone, the dots and the computer screen.
Crap!!! I thought, I managed to get into Download mode, and reflash it using what I believe was an official ROM using Odin. I then rebooted, and found that it STILL had the data on it and it STILL was doing the force close. At least I had it back to "working" though so I was mildly happy.
I then did a factory reset using the menu system, erased the USB storage (there is no external SD card in her phone) and rebooted, still force closing but prompting me to setup again. Weird. I went through the setup slowly, as every second or so a force close would popup, then when I completed the setup (which still had the wifi settings, account settings etc in it) the System Setup crashed with Force Close. I then rebooted and got to the Home Screen, but still crashing.
I rebooted and used the recovery screen to clear the cache and factory reset, despite the warnings I will lose everything, nothing was wiped.
I tried to update using Kies again but it tells me that the firmware/device is not supported. I am now trying to see if I can use Odin to install a Kies supported firmware. So that I can then try an update using that again.
Anyone got any suggestions, at present, my thoughts are, I was going well within the realms of warranty up until I reflashed it using Odin to try and get back in as I'd only used Kies to update and the issue "just started happening" without my missus doing anything.
There are no signs of damage on the phone and she tells me it was just sat on her desk all day.
So, my question is, what now? I'm of the opinion based on the above that if I can't reflash a warranty supported Kies update, then maybe a custom ROM will be worth a shot to see if its a hardware failure or if its software. I just have never had an issue like this with my HTC Desire and I've ran many custom ROMs and standard ROMs on it.
I do have the .tmp file of the update Kies downloaded, and I also have a Binary folder which has some file inside a couple more folders but its not a .tar or a .zip because when I try renaming it (after a copy) it won't open.
So, suggestions on a postcard, thanks if you got this far through this nightmare. All help massively appreciated.
Edit: it appears to be the same issue as this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822238
I'll try some of their suggestions. Today I also did the *2767*3855# today which I found after a bit more searching. Same problem after a reboot. Force close and data still there.
I've tried and tried again to do various solutions for this, I've even ran a logcat using adb to see if I can see the problem. I suspect its a Dalvik Cache issue in that its unable to write to it for some weird reason.
I've downgraded it to Froyo following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100906
It now detects in Kies and offers me a firmware upgrade. I suspect it will die again though if I try due to this Dalvik problem.
Wiping cache does not wipe the cache. Everything still appears to be there on reboot as mentioned above.
Here is a copy of the LogCat with Java errors all over it: http://leenukes.co.uk/downloads/logcat1.txt (its quite long)
I guess nobody knows. Today I will speak to Orange to try and get it fixed or replaced.

We've been told it is beyond repair. We will see what they say when we go back into the shop. Its still in warranty so I don't see why they won't replace it.

I have a friend with a Galaxy S from Orange Romania and suddenly the phone kept showing Force Close on every App. He had 2.2.1 if I remember right. He whent with the phone to an Orange Shop and they only do a factory reset but data was not wiped.
So what i have done for him:
- start the phone in Download Mode
- start Odin with repartition check and XXJVT (2.3.5) firmware with 3 files (code, phone and CSC) + pit file .512
- after reflashing the phone does have all tha data, so i resarted in Recovery Mode and done a Factory Reset and a Cache Wipe
- i flashed Speedmonde Kernel k16.10 and do again from Recovery Mode a Factory Reset, Cache Wipe and Davlick Wipe.
On reboot the phone was CLEAN. No force closes for a week now.
Sorry for my English hope it helps!

Sound advice there mate, other thing I would have done is in recovery mode before the ODIN flash I would have format sdcard, making sure you have removed BOTH the external sd and the sim card, as it can wipe them as well.Then flash through ODIN as per instructions above.
Using JVT I would flash either speedmod or semaphore 2.1.1 which I personally use.
Happy flashing!!
turns out it was water damage and some parts corroded.
Its going to be claimed for on insurance.

Hello all,
the phone came back from repair yesterday, yay!
the phone now however, doesn't appear to lock onto a mobile signal for very long. Boooo!!!
After sending off for repair using insurance, we got the phone back yesterday but it now appears to be broke in another way. It won't lock on to a mobile signal, wireless is fine but data network and sometimes just mobile signal is patchy and keeps dropping.
I've just reset it to factory defaults, same problem. What I did notice, which is odd is that since it came back from repair, its now unlocked and I can put another networks SIM card in it, same issue there too so I know its the phone now.
I'm going to scour the forums to see if anyone else had/has issues like this, it is running the latest firmware now and a full wipe really did fully wipe it this time, as opposed to last time with its issues due to water damage. One step forward, two steps back?
Its going back to the insurance company. Especially as Orange were suggesting that we pay £70 for a new handset.
Absolute fool I had on support today, yesterday I at least had someone sensible.

Sounds like a modem issue, where the techs at Orange put in the wrong modem for your firmware. I did the same thing when I upgraded from Froyo to Gingerbread.
Alternately, it could be a broken external antenna connection as a result of the corrosion from the water damage. Google "no signal fix" and look for a site that ends in .uk
Just a thought for others who come across this problem.

OnePlus 3t Bluetooth not turning on

Hi guys I really need some help. It's been quite a few days now since my Bluetooth isn't turning on. I've tried clearing cache n data for Bluetooth apps and services in application manager but still no luck. This is what happens when I try to turn on Bluetooth... (Check screenshot)
The switch just fades and Bluetooth doesn't really turn on at all. And after a while the switch turns off by itself. Please help.
I also tried flashing another kernel (from stock) but still no luck. I'm on OOS 4.1.7 with Blu spark r174.
It had stopped working since I was on stock OOS (non rooted) and then I rooted and installed Blu spark but still no luck.
I have tried clearing app cache and data of Bluetooth share app, reset network settings even tried factory reset, still no luck. OOS 4.1.7.
Someone please help.

If it isn't working after factory reset, most probably it is a hardware problem..
Another issue that I've heard off is related to the encryption of the storage, but i don't think this is the case now

But then the system acts weird about Bluetooth. When I try to turn it on (notice I do get an option to turn it on), the switch flips on the other side (switching ON) but fades n does nothing. And if I move out of settings and come back to Bluetooth section, it goes back to off. I kind of have a feeling it's a software problem n just needs some system modifications. But I really don't know, really need some expert opinions, please help guys.
Full wipe and try to downgrade to earlier OOS version..
( 4.1.5 ) or try another custom kernel ..EX or Dorimanx....

This happened to my dad on another phone and after a while the wifi died as well. It's a hardware issue.
I had the same issue 2 months ago. tried to switch back to stock and everything, it did not work. So I sent mine back to Oneplus, it was a hardware problem and the motherboard had to be changed. It sounds like you are unlucky as I was.
Just dirty flash your Rom and check if it works.

When folks say "factory reset" they most usually means just using the option "factory reset" in stock/custom recovery, or in phone Settings. All those do, is wipe user data. SO the problem will only be solved if some problem/incompatibility with user data was the culprit (does not actually "restore" any software/firmware).
I would suggest flashing the full 4.1.7 (or even early version) zip to restore to full stock, which I think is more what you meant.
This has happened to me before after updating magisk and not re-flashing a kernel. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth weren't toggleable (if that's a word) and the phones battery was draining pretty aggressively. I'd follow the advice from others and do a reset, or flash a custom kernel over what you have.

Galaxy Note 8 SM-N950F camera not working

Hey guys,
So basically my camera stop working. Two days back update the phone to the latest firmware (Android 9) and security patch (March 1). Installed TWRP and rooted with magisk. So far everything was working fine. Today needed to restart the phone and after the restart my camera disappeared. In camera app I get just black screen without error. Same thing happen with third party app. Trying in safe mode, same results. In an app
iDevcheck under camera tab there is nothing, no information at all.
Ideas?
Bump,

If it was me, I would flash stock filmware with Odin to see if it resolves the issue, if it does not, it is probably a hardware issue, in my opinion, or maybe the camera ribbon cable has disconnected somehow.
''Can't turn on flashlight because the light is being used by another app''
This is what I discovered today. Still kinda think it's a software issue. At the moment don't have the chance to flash stock firmware.

Factory reset?
Factory reset did not helped either.
I guess something went wrong during the rooting process.
