Hi everybody, whenever I try to switch to my front camera on my phone I get the cannot connect to camera error. Does anyone know what the issue is? It doesn't matter whether I'm on stock Samsung or cm10.1 either :/

Stock Samsung should not have this problem, known issue in CM and AOSP if I am not wrong though. Did you try wipes?

If you've flashed back to stock with a factory reset and it's still the same then probably hardware failure.

Oh in that case, how do I know if I have warranty or not?

See the stickied How to return to stock for warranty guide .
Your phone vendor or Samsung will tell you if the repair is under warranty .

Same here. Flashed the early AOKP ROM and had problems with the .gapps FCs so I flashed back the stock ROM. I hope we can make some headway on resetting the flash counter.
Anybody else?

Try rebooting the phone at first, if that did not help do a data factory reset. After that if not solved you might reflash a stock rom. Still no remedy, take it to the shop/repair center.

Turn off power saving mode, you don't need to root the s3 it's perfect the way it is.

Am I missing something here? At what point did they even mention rooting the phone? And rooting is still the best way of disabling bandwidth hungry ads in apps.

What type of flickering? This may sound stupid, but it is a legit question. Try making a photo of it.
If it is going downwards in bar-like formation, it's the display.
If it is blinking, it is Android, or a loose connection...

You need warranty then. Reset counter with triangle away, flash back original firmware and send it back to samsung.

To the OP:
I don't mean to be rude but A bit more info is needed "than my speaker don't work" if u want guys to try help u on here.
You need to let people know stuff like:
**what firmware is on ur phone,
**did u flash something?
**Did u drop ur phone?
**Did it get wet?
Otherwise ur post will be ignored and get lost in the flurry of xda.

That would void warranty if you mean what you say .

If you've wiped and back to stock then sounds like hardware, service centre required.

Depends on your flash counter, warranty and condition of the phone.
