[Q] Camera app causing problems - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I find that the original, stock Camera app as well as the JB 4.2 one, often causes my phone to hang up and I have to do 1 or 2 15sec hard reboots to clear it.
When the app starts, I can see the camera full screen live view but none of the buttons or menus. When this happens, I can't kill the app or escape to Home screen and have to re-boot the phone with a 15sec power button press. The phone will usually hang up at the Samsung spash screen the first time but will usually reboot properly on the second attempt.
I'm on the Ultimate JB XXLSC 5.1 ROM and understand that custom ROMs can sometimes have bugs. Just wondering if anyone one else is experiencing this and if there's a fix.
Thanks in advance.

Power Button- slow?

i noticed recently that if i press the power button, it sometimes takes a really long time to turn the screen on. i know the hardware works because the backlight in the soft buttons turns on immediately, but the screen remains black for up to 10 seconds. this happens rarely. however, im fairly sure it isnt a software problem because ive wiped completely and installed a fresh rom and the problem seems to persist. perhaps i just recently noticed, and the problem was always there? does anyone else have this problem?
three threads above yours.

could be a hardware issue.
Mine does this every few days.. I am still on the stock 2.1 rom.
Mine also does this, I only noticed it after flashing Cyanogenmod 5.0.6. so I thought it might have been a bug. I also assumed it was a bug because the phone seems to act strangely when you are touching the screen and try to hit the power button.
Hopefully this isn't a hardware issue, I've had the phone since release.
Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?
It happens to me as well, but very infrequently. Maybe every few days... so it doesn't bother me enough to worry about it.
I'm on stock ROM btw.
I am leaning towards thinking this may be software related. A few minutes ago I was at the lock screen and tried about 50 times (yes I waited long enough after each press) and simply could not get the screen to turn off. I then tried long pressing the power button and, sure enough, each time it would bring up the shutdown menu (yes, over the lock screen). Must be a bug right?
Hmm, my problem's slightly different. Around half of the time, I have to press the power button twice to turn the screen on. Sometimes, pressing it the first time doesn't turn the screen on, had to press the power button firmly again.
This started only recently. On stock n1 and bought it during feb.
that means that your power button is dying, like many others' (including mine)
this is the first time, it takes 2 clicks to work....than it will increase.
Expect a repair soon...
Well i am having the issue other way around. i am not been able to put my phone in stand by mode by clicking on it and it is do a hard press then i get options to shut off the phone
any suggestions what might be causing it ?
I'm happy I haven't received this problem yet

I am having the same issue and i wonder if you were able to find the cause for it. I have the same rom as you do on your phone

I have a similar problem. When I unplug the N1 from the charger, the screen comes on showing the lock screen, and I can't get it to turn off. If I unlock the phone, however, then the power button works normally. I don't think it was doing this until recently (I bought it in January the first day it was offered and am running the stock update1 ROM).
So here is my theory if the power button is a problem then it needs to act up both ways and not only one way. right now i can put the phone in sleep mode but i can wake it up. i will post the issues on the development forum and might be able to find an asnswer to it
So seems like the issues is because of Cyanogenmod 5.0.6 because since i have flashed another rom it is working just fine. i will be doing some more testing before i can be certain
Another problem I am experiencing is when I long press the power button, it pulls up the phone options menu but also turns off the screen. It's extremely frustrating as it does this quite frequently; right after I power on the screen again and unlock the device it works properly every time - so much so that I am convinced this is a software issue.
I am now running froyo, rooted with Cyan's minor root patch. I can also say for sure I experienced the same problem on CM 5.0.6, but it definitely occurred less frequently.
Am I alone here?

I just started having this problem after upgrading to 2.2.
I have this every so often. But sometimes wonder if it is flyscreen doing it
You guys should all just be running the app no lock to take the power autumn out of the equation.
Ahhhhh! I just need trackball wakeup!
I have a similar issue where my screen will turn on but will be unresponsive. When i turn it on and off, the backlight jut comes and goes. If it times out it won't turn back on for a bit(the backlight will come on still).
I just wiped my phone, hoping that'll fix it since it only started happening on a regular basis since I updated to Froyo

[Q]

Hi,
I have Galaxy I 9000 and I am having some issues with it. I rooted my Galaxy to CM10 and usually it works fine, but once in while for some reason it seems like the screen is getting pressed on the bottom of the screen - if I have app. in the bottom of the screen it gets open automatically and continuously pressed inside the app. If I press on the home button then the touch is not working at all and the only way to stop this is to press on the right side button (menu button) which close the screen and press it again to reopen it (or reboot).
I tried to understand why it happens and thought that it might be related to the CM10 - so I replaced it with CM9 and had the same issue. Also tried Slim ver. but had the same issue so I guess it is something to do with the mobile it self.
As I wrote it doesn’t happen all the time but it does happen very often.
Any one has any suggestion on how to fix this bug ?
Thanks

As this is happening with all roms you are installing, this is not a bug of the rom. You should flash the stock rom and see if the problem occurs there.. if it doesn't flash the custom rom and check...
if the problem persists in stock rom too then get your mobile checked at a service center.

[Q] GNote - Random Lock Screen (auto turn on) after Official JB update.

After the recent update to JB 4.1.2 on my GNote from ICS 4.0.4, my phone's screen turned on randomly at time, minimum brightness and is non-responsive. I have to press the power button or the home button again to "wake" it and to unlock it.
At times, it happens while it in my pocket or simply on the table, draining the battery and causing the phone to heat up as it will just stayed dim and remain that way till the battery runs out.
I have been searching for a reason but to no avail. I have even tried to reset everything and flash again with a fresh copy of official ROM (same ROM) and cleared all cache and everything I can possibly think of but it is still happening.
Anyone facing any similar situation or with a solution to resolve this?

[Q] Light JB screen off question

I'm currently using cocore 6.2 and Light JB.
I'm very happy and satisfy with the rom but there's one small problem that I've never faced before in any other rom.
When I am surfing the internet, or reading anything, if I didn't touch the screen for 15 seconds, it will turn off itself which is normal.
What I usually do when it turn off I will press the home button immediately and here comes the problem. In any other rom, when I press the home button immediately after the screen automatically turned off, the screen will turn on and back to the screen that i was reading (internet, picture etc.). But while I am using Light JB, when I press the home button, my phone screen will turn on but it will jump back to the homescreen instead of the browser or picture I was reading.
Does anyone face the same problem as me?
I want to know if it's the rom's problem or my rom installation didn't go well.
If it's the rom's problem then I'll just bear with it but if its only me facing this problem I will consider re install the rom.
Thank you very much.

Stock rom acts the same ... Pressing power button wakes up the device without going to home screen.

only light jb will back to homescreen

anyone else facing the problem of screen not turning on when apps hang?

Its happens often that the phone hangs and once the screen doesn't turn on, sometimes pressing the power button for long turns on the screen and there is a message of usually whatsapp or Facebook or systemui not responding. Is there anyway to resolve this? I have factory reset and used sus to repair often.phone is rooted with stock rom 205.
try flash another faster, better rom like existenz ultra 4
and use SpeedyDroid to rip some unnecessary feature on your phone
