[BUG] Camera Flash when turning off - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Is anyone else's camera flash flashing 5-6 times when powering off? This happens right after the pink T-Mobile goodbye screen.

Turned mine off at least ten times now and no such report here.

Nothing here. Have turned mine off about 3 times since I received it earlier.

Last night my battery was very low when this started happening.
After a full night charge the phone boots down normally.

Mine flashed 1 time when I turned it off. I've only turned it off twice. I did it the 2nd time, because I thought I was seeing things.....now I know I wasn't imagining a lightning bolt in my hand;-(

WOW, 11 minutes later I turn the phone off........the LED on back flashes @ least 6 times!!!!! Sad part is I have no box or receipt to exchange

Has anyone gotten a guick camera flash when rebooting after using these files? I've seen it happen a few times now.

wrong topic.... some one already mentioned that in a separate topic, it's a bug or defective unit, you should exchange it for a good one

I spent quite a bit of time trying to find out what was causing the camera flash to happen after changing the files.
Reverting back to stock: can't duplicate camera flash on reboot/startup.
Using the international SGS2's bootup/shutdown: can duplicate random camera flash on reboot/startup.
It appears that the camera flash is being caused by trying to reboot the phone to quickly after shutting it down. The original T-mo shutdown is longer in length than the international version.
When I wait 3 seconds after the shutdown vibration occurs while using the international version I am not able to reproduce the camera flash.
My conclusion: User error. No exchange necessary.

Actually this isn't caused at all by user error, as one of my old units did exactly this. It was a problem with the unit. Only one of the 7 I've tried have done this. . .

Had this problem only once among my 30'ish number of shutdown's.
Thought I saw ghost or something...

no worries, it's probably just CIQ snapping some photos for their logs to match up with your GPS at the time of shutdown...

I've never had this problem. (I've had this phone for 2 days

That's happened to me twice. Weirdest thing ever.

Yeah this happened on juggernaut twice..

Just recently flashed bombaridier, haven't had the camera flash do that yet on stock or bombaridier. Will keep an eye out for it though

I've been thinking this may be related to using a "flashlight" app (not app specific, possibly after using any flashlight app)
I never had this happen until I installed a flashlight app... I've noticed when you use the flashlight, after you turn the "flashlight" off, it will always flash one time.
Uninstall the flashlight app, reboot once, after that - anytime I shut down, no flashing.
Just a thought..

Im going to have to turn my wifes phone off now to make sure that hers is not doing this.

i'm on Jugger, never seen it yet
and i hope it remains that way
i'm pretty sure it must be a software bug
for the records, i do not use the stock SMS/MMS i have it frozen, because it sucks
i use Go SMS Pro, free, and has more feature than i can use, but has no use for them (that's a good thing )

Just witnessed this for the first time on my phone after having it for close to 3 months. I just flashed CWM for the first time on it a few minutes ago. Wonder if it's related? I'm guessing the consensus is to just ignore it?

Try to clear the cache on it the camera app from the menu if that doesn't work push on your camera lens if it fixes it then its hardware .
Well if it happened after you just did an update, its likely that update is the problem. Flash a nandroid from the previous version you were running and see if it's still there.
Try physically pushing the camera in with moderate pressure and see if that helps. Sometimed they come slightly unseated.

The glass on the camera does not have a polarizing filter on it, if that's what you're asking. If it's taking pictures as if it was going through a polarizer then you've got some real weirdness going on with your camera.
Edit: No idea if it's a software or hardware issue, could be either one or both honestly. Can you show some examples of what it's doing?
Well when I entered my cam app the camera looks like I turned the polarize skin on but the ffc is perfectly fine. I've rebooted three times and its still doing it. I haven't flashed anything in about a week it just randomly started doing this... if one more reboot doesn't work I'm gonna try leaving the battery out for an hour or two hopefully that fixes it. I wiped the cam cache and restored default settings. I also tried pressing the cam slightly and that's not the issue. As far as being dislodged or loose that's not the issue. I think its either something inside the cam or just a weird bug in the app itself. Thanks for the tips ill check back in an hour or two with a status update.

Again, rebooting will NOT fix this issue. You need to re-flash a nandroid from before you updated. Or, better yet, flash a stock rom and see if it works in there. Constantly rebooting will not fix this issue, as its either a problem with the cam software, or the hardware. You can easily rule out software by flashing a stock rom.
@sitlet
I didn't flash an update ... plus anyway good news! I left the phone off with battery removed for about 8 hours and now my camera works perfect again! Don't really know what caused it to happen just glad its done with! And hope it doesn't happen again! (Knocks on wood)

i know what your talking about its happened to me before happened to me due to a strong magnet being close to the lens(worked at walmart and Electronics keys have strong magnets) basically before i took the picture it seemed like i had the polarized filter on but it really wasnt had to take the phone in for repair
@djnarcotics
Exactly! However it keeps coming back so I'm taking my phone to sprint on Friday my deposit plus insurance should be able to replace my phone wouldn't mind a new evo or evo shift

Random reboots

I had the Photon so random reboots aren't to surprising to me. Hell even on my old T-Mobile htcs I flashed so much random reboots were the name of the game. But with my phone rebooting at least 6 times in the past 24 hours, I'm not too thrilled. It happens doing the most random tasks. Stumble upon, trying to open Gmail once, internet browsing. I'm wondering if this is because of root or just the phone. Anyone else experience this?

No random reboots here. Did you flash any kernels or are you stock?
I got my phone Friday 9-16, still 100% stock no root and I have not had one random reboot. If you are on stock without root you should return your phone, sounds like it is defective to me. When I saw random reboots in the title I thought I was in the Old Epic section
random reboot = probably a dud
manufacturers manufacture thousands of these devices a day, and flaws unfortunately occur

I am rooted. I first rooted with the Zedomax method, and then tried v5 of the ACS method two days ago, which is when I started getting the random reboots. I now switched to the Zedomax Overclocked Kernel (not using the overclock) to see if that fixes anything. If not maybe they'll release the stock kernel soon, and find a way to reset both flash counters.
Im completely stock and have had 2 reboots today. At first I thought maybe my hip case was pressing buttons but I had it out on my desk and then I hear it reboot. Im like WTF? I remember it did this on day one a couple of times and maybe a couple since then now I get 2 today damn near back to back. When the update comes out to fix known issues, hopefully this is one of them!
just got one today. Running Stock..
I am completely stock. No root. I've had 3 already.
I've reverted to the stock kernel with root and no reboots so far. I'm making sure to keep my number of open apps low though

I've had 2 random reboots tonight. One was while uploading photos to facebook, the other was while it was just sitting in my cupholder in the car. The cupholder one was weird though, the screen was on, and it made the reboot noise. It was like it lagged on it, but the phone was still semi usable for about a minute, then it finally shut off and came back. Another thing is random keyboard freezes, and again tonight, my settings menu wouldn't come up until after I restarted it.
So far in the week of having this phone it has rebooted twice

Well, it's been 4 days now without a reboot. I'm guessing stopping services makes this thing go crazy. I thought stopping maps, turning off background data, etc would make battery life better (like it did on the Epic)...well, it doesn't, and like I said earlier, freaks this thing out. So, don't stop anything, and it'll be fine.

I haven't had a reboot in a while now. Since reverting to stock at least. Although randomly my phone will freeze up and ill have to lock then unlock the screen

Mine is going to be 1 week old tomorrow, and I am currently stock (so weird for me I root as soon as I get a device), but I honestly havent felt the need to root, and I also wanted to run a stock device for a while.
Anyhow, no problems here phone is running solid, no reboots or anything.
I had to do manually restart yesterday in order to get the camera working again. Went into the camera, and it was just a black screen with the controls around it. I love Android, but I hate that it isn't as stable as BBOS, or even iOS.

Something Weird Happening At Night

ok guys , firstable i have knowledge of rooting/roms/kernels/etc.... ok so this is really strange... i have 2 tmobile samsung galaxy s3(peble blue) one is my gfs and the other one is mine, so last friday we went to a party and we decided to take pics , we both open our phones to take some pics and really weird, the camera wasnt letting me enable the flash, and i coulnt even change the resolution to lower or higher, this was happening to both phones the same issue i coulnt use the flash or many of the settings were disable on the menu, both phones were absolutely having the same issues at the moment. i restart my device and it worked regular for a bit, but my gs's phone still didnt, and she keeps tellin me this keeps happening at nights when she tryes taking pics. ANYONE OUT THERE HAVING THIS SIMILAR ISSUES?
By the way:
Both Phones Are Completely Stock 4.1.1 and never been Rooted Or Nothing like that.. COmpletely stock!!!
Never had that issue. The only time it won't let me use the camera flash is when the battery is super low.
I would recommend doing a full reset if it keeps happening.

Am I the only one whose GN2 locks up every once in a while?

I've been having gn2 from at&t for about 2 months. It's awesome in most respects but it sometimes locks up cold. By cold, I mean that the only way to fix it is to pull out battery for some extended time - 5-10 min. Usually it happens when I use some software, typically accessing network. Just now it happened when I used Chrome beta.
Also it happens sometimes after graceful shutdown that it locks up immediatelly on boot.
Seems to happen with any rom that I tried.
Does anyone else have similar problems? I wonder if it's hardware defect.

I was experiencing lock ups on earlier 7105 ROMs I was using. I thought power cycling was the only way then I discovered if you take out the S-pen (and then put it back) it would unfreeze the device. Maybe give that a shot next time, in case its similar.
Mine would freeze randomly...

I haven't had any lockups per se, but I've had 2 random reboots. I've had the device a week. Rooted, on stock.
I've had this phone for 5 months roughly. It has never locked on stock, Clean ROM, CM 10.1

Mine used to do that. Turns out the problem was Superuser. If you have Superuser, and not SuperSU, installed, try switching them and see if it clears up the lock ups.
I would also get weird notifications about "shell" and "radio" trying to get root access.

I had this problem on my SII.
My girl had this problem as well. To remedy it first I wiped the external sd card. Wiped everything off of it incase of some bs data.
Then I wiped and re flashed the rom and only restored mms and the call log with tibu. The rest of the apps she had I manually installed them one by one from the market.
Now doing the above two cleaned up a lot of lockups but it was still happening. Final thing that actually stopped the freezes was getting rid of Chrome. Why was Chrome causing issues, I have no idea but after removal the phone never randomly rebooted and after getting use to the stock browser it's been smooth sailing.

Edit: sorry just for reference both my phone and hers are running SkyNote 6 with the 6.7 update and the saber 13.4 release.

Chrome definitely may be a culprit. It happened to me often when using it. What is interesting is that it wouldn't reboot unless battery is out for few minutes. It feels like some memory state , perhaps in modem, gets corrupted and isn't cleared during boot.
And it was happening at times with freshly flashed rom with full wipe.
I have this issue too. I know for sure it is ROM or Kernel related as it never does it if I revert back to stock ROM and Kernel. Mine seems to be in a really deep sleep when it happens. I hold the power button for about 15 seconds and the phone reboots and everything is fine for a few days again.

[Q] Random Reboot

Hi,
History:
I have a problem with my Nexus. It randomly reboots. Nothing seems to help.
It started after a few months after I was rooted on CyanogenMod 10.0. In 3 days, it quickly escalated to a reboot every 10 minutes on average.
A factory reset (without user apps installed on it) on CynogenMod reduced the frequency (every hour?), but didn't eliminate it.
Unrooting to stock Jellybean 4.1.2 seemed fine only in the first week. The problem came back afterwards, and updating to JB 4.2.1 didn't help.
Now, 2 months on stock ROM, I get even more random times. Sometimes it is 2 times a day, sometimes once a week.
Just before it:
I get a metallic screeching noise for 1-2 seconds, and immediately following that, device turns off with a "pang". Although these days I HAVE had situations that the sound came for up to 3 seconds (and the screen freezes), but the phone worked normally afterwards.
What happens:
It randomly reboots. The rebooting is at irregular intervals, whatever i was doing on it (even when not using it).
What happens after:
It takes much, much longer to startup again. It can get stuck at the "Google" logo screen for up to 5min. It doesn't take this long to reboot if I shut it down myself.
Any ideas? What causes this? Is it software or hardware?
Can I even send it for warranty if I cannot reproduce the problem?
I don't want to send it to warranty if I don't have to. I don't want to loose my phone for I don't know how long.
Hi, what's your eMMC version? Maybe buggy memory, try looking at other threads.

I'm new to this eMMC thing, but according to an app my eMMC Type is V3U00M. To check whether it is buggy or not it needs root, which I don't currently have. If it IS buggy, I don't have a choice but to bring it for warranty right?
No, I have not tried to changed batteries. I don't have other batteries. But can the problem really lie with the battery? Btw, my phone is less than 8 months old.

Well, I am planning to root again. I want to switch back to CyanogenMod 10.1. Lagfix app isn't needed if you can use -discard mount option right? How to use either, if let's say I'm on CyanogenMod. This is also the first time I hear of lagfix and discard mount... :/
Btw, the app i used to check my eMMC Type said that my chip is ok. No brickbug. Are you sure it's buggy?

I might be wrong here, but from what I've read at the link and other xda posts (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2029246), the V3U00M chip is not buggy (in the sense that it's stable for rooting and using the -discard command), but it does give slowdowns. I do have horrible slowdowns, so thanks for that solution I didn't know existed. However, this doesn't solve my random reboot problem at all...
No one else got any solid way to find out the source of the problem?

Same as you man...
I'm seriously considering throwing my phone to the garbage. I don't like iPhones, but google is really pushing me into it with this crappy piece of phone. Is so frustrating to have these rebooting issues, I've tried everything, from wipe to factory reset, back to stock, flash custom ROMS and KERNELS, turning location access off, uninstalling all apps/widgets that might interfere, and every single "solution" it's out there, and STILL I'M HAVING THESE DAMN REBOOTS!
Now it's even worse, I can't even transfer files to my phone anymore because, guess what... IT REBOOTS! everytime I transfer ANY KIND of file.
The only thing that seems to work for a while is reformatting and start from scratch. I've done that like 3 times already. But still after a few weeks the issue reapears... i'm really mad about this, and no one seems to care. Not Google and not even Samsung.
The only interesting thing that i found around the internet is this guy's findings
plus.google.com/113601948978986762347/posts/2ALASEC1dG2
I read the log on my phone and matches to his... but now the thing is, what do i do with this information? I'm not a programmer o something like that.
Any ideas?
I think your board is faulty. Even so, have you tried disabling SR and raising voltages across the board? Trimming eMMC? Omapflash?

He is saying that you have root you need to install trickster mod from the play store. Open the app and go to specific. Then disable the smart reflex toggles and click the oké button in the upper right corner see if that works. If it doesnt re enable smart reflex and go tot MPU voltages. Next to the words MPU voltages there is a blue plus/minus button. Click that and click the plus one time. Accept it and push again the oke button. The other two things I dont exactly know..

Honestly, if you are getting reboots on a clean stock (including stock kernel) , it's probably a hardware issue.

I'm still searching around for those other things beekay201 mentioned earlier. I found that Omap Flash is a tool for flash roms in binary mode, so that way you can unbrick some phones. Still trying to find out how that can be useful for my case (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242330)

Honestly, if you are getting reboots on a clean stock (including stock kernel) , it's probably a hardware issue.

The thing is that after a clean stock install everything works fine for a week or two, that means no random reboots, and i can transfer any kind of file of any size with no problem. Then for some estrange reason (even with no crazy apps installed) starts with a random reboot, after that first reboot i know is time and that i wont be able to transfer files anymore, because it WILL reboot while i'm transfering files. Other thing i have noticed is that around where the camera lens is, get really hot. So I think that the reason it reboots is kernel panic caused by overheating, or the other thing is that my sdcard have some issues when writing files.
Right now i'm using CyanogenMod 10.0.0-maguro with jelly bean 4.1.2 and franco.kernel 3.0.51-nightly-512GPU and i have already tried going back to stock.
how can a I check if my hardware is fine? Is there any app out there?
Thanks!

512GPU? You mean your GPU is overclocked? Maybe try to set your GPU to stock. And if it gets really hot and you have random reboots you can try to over volt with trickster mod.

No, I don't think my GPU is overclocked, that's the full name of the kernel, you say that the kernel automatically puts my GPU to 512?. Anyways i just installed that kernel two days ago just because i thought it might make the reboots go away. I'm having rebooting problems since february (just after upgrading to 4.2.1), so i don't think that the GPU is causing the reboots.

Well if it keeps rebooting you can try to over volt. Maybe that helps.
