The camera is great, but sometimes it can use from 2-5 seconds to focus if is focuses at all.
I'm suspecting it to be a hardware issue because when i shake the phone the camera focuses.
Are anyone else experiencing similar problems?
Yes, on the Galaxy S6 (non-Edge).
I have exactly the same problem on samsung galaxy s6 edge
Went to the store to get a replacement, but apparently Samsung only replaces the phone the first week and I bought it two weeks ago. They therefore had to send it to get repaired
I also have this intermittantly, sometimes also the flash is off and when I try to turn on again it says the phone needs to cool down before flash is used, The phone was barely luke warm, anybody else had this happen?

Bummer... have the exact same thing! First week no problems, but since a day or two this started to happen. And I just found out the same as you: when I shake, it dóes focus. On a sidenote: when it happens, mine seems to be stuck on macrofocus.
If this lasts for one more week I'll go back to the Samsung Store where I bought it
Same here. Samsung said go to walk in service. No replacement.
After two repairs, they finally change the camera, and things are good now.

Hi
I am having problems with my screen. Looks like the LCD is faulty. Trying to resolve with Samsung Support, but thought I would ask here if this is a known problem or if there is a simple fix.
It looks like the grayscale colors are not right, I installed a screen tester and the grayscale bars have a red tint. all other tests in the appl look ok. however pictures/video's all look like they are 16bit color and icons look like they are bleeding
Here is a picture of the problem

Any thoughts?
Eric...
Looks like a faulty panel !
Take it back to where you bought it and have them exchange it.

I have exactly the same problem Tablet has been bought in the United States and now I am in Europe. Samsung won't repair/replace it anywhere in Europe. Only US Samsung offered to help me but the tablet needs to be at a United States address. Now I have to send it back to someone I know.. will take months
Well my problem disappeared.... not really sure why/how, but I have been playing with different ROM's etc. and I THINK it might of been when I did a permissions repair, but...
Plus i'm 99.3% sure I had the problem before I rooted/ROM'd
Another reason to stop loading these 3rd party ROMs. I dont understand why people are installing these 3rd party ROMs to begin with. The stock ROM is by FAR the most stable and error free ROM you can use. Most of the issues people are starting threads about would have NEVER occurred if they just stuck with the stock ROM.
I get this too now. I've been pootin' around with different roms for a while, no problems. Then a few days ago while I was running GalaxyTask 8.0 the "bleeding" started slowly. First around the edges of things, but then the entire screen. The colors seem to color-cycle into the end result. I figured it might be the rom so I tried a stock one. And then I tried a complete stock reset with stock recovery and factory reset - the works. No change. It's still like this. And in the bootloader and the recovery too. Sometimes it gets moments of clarity, everything is fine, but only for a few seconds.
Busted tablet? I bought it while in the US this summer, so taking it back will be an issue. Getting a Transformer Prime late next week *fingers crossed* but still. I was hoping to sell this fully functioning :|

I had the same issue. Also bought in US while I live in Hungary. I had to send it back to my relatives who took it back to Samsung and they replaced it in warranty. Fortunately, I was travelling there by the time we got the new one and I could take it back home with me. This seems to be a weakness of the tablet. My replacement unit has been working nicely ever since.
I had the same issue with an August build stock tablet from the US.
Thankfully Samsung UK took it in for repair and ended up replacing it as it was apparently unrepairable.
My issue used to show up with 60+ minutes of continued use. I think it was thermal related as the warmer it was the quicker it seemed to develop the fault. putting it on standby for a few minutes used to clear it, but the problem would come back quickly as it was warm.
Anyone know how Samsung handles this issue if the device it out of warranty? Mine is acting up pretty bad and I haven't been able to find anything on here about repairing the issue on your own. It will be clean view for a few minutes and then the color bleeding some background effects kick in making the tablet a large paperweight. I've been looking for and excuse to get the 10.1 Note, but it sure would be nice to get a few bucks for this since it's in perfect condition... besides the screen.
My 10.1 is starting to develop the same issue. Never been rooted, always on a stock rom. I've never dropped it or banged it around. It also seems to start happening afternlonge usage. First imsee a few purple lines across the screen and then the entire scren turns to 8bit colors, etc. Once I turn it off and back on it goes back to normal. Annoying, especially simce I bought it 13 months ago so I'm guessing it's past the warranty period.

I'm with you - mine has never been rooted or tampered with. Other than getting heavy usage, I've taken perfect care of it. I've been unable to find a fix.

If you're out of warranty you're on your own. Samsung won't repair or replace it for free.
At this point I'd just like to know how to fix it and what it would cost, ballpark. I haven't been able to find anyone who's delt with it, bar throwing their tablet.

My 10.1v just went.
Guys, I'm having the same issue today. And here is the fix:
1. Take out the back cover.
2. Look for the black cable that have SET printed on the end.
3. Removes both ends and then reconnect.
4. Push/rub at both ends while the screen is on. You'll notice the tint-colour of the LCD will change. Stop when it looks normal again then put a tape on top to hold the cable in that position
4. Put the cover back and enjoy your Note 10.1 again
Good luck!
Hi everyone,
I got my HTC at the turn of the year when everyon else was buying the lumnia 800, i went with the bigger screen and the front facing camera
I actually quite liked it, but for some reason it is a very unpopular phone. I have never come across anyone with a Titan, and it took me forever to find just a case for it, maybe its just because I live on mainland Europe......i dunno.
Does anyone have an idea why its so....ignored?
I used have this problem with the Titan that once the battery got really low it started acting funny, it would stay on the lock screen and the touch wouldn't function normally. I figured this was just because it had low battery, but lately even when it has plenty of battery to spare it still shows the same problem....does anyone else have this issue as well? Do I need to contact a shop to see if they can fix it?
I totally agree. I live in Spain, and when the phone was released, it was showed during one week only in a shop called "The Phone House" (also know as "Carphone Warehouse") and of course, only unlocked, not with special prices with operators and that stuff.
And about the problems that you are experimenting, you should contact with HTC, The phone, even without invoice, is still in warranty period, because it was released the last year and the warranty time for Europe is 2 years.
Good luck!
Funny, I saw it for the first time in phone house as well...they had it on display!
I am wondering though if it falls under the warranty...from experience I know that they often try their best to blame it on the customers.
The touch screen being unresponsive with a low battery is a known bug in the EU ROMs. I have a US Titan, I flashed the EU ROM, and this started happening to me. So I flashed a US ROM again to fix it.
If you convince HTC to send you a new titan, you probably will still have this issue.

Hi, Making sure the battery saver setting was switched on stopped the unresponsive low battery problem for me and others!

Wow, that really worked for me! Thank you
Hello. I have no Internet connection other than edge. Whenever I chose wdspa or lte the icon shows but no reception at all. I've even tried hard reset but to no avail. This started to happen a few days ago and I know it is the phone because if I insert the Sim in another phone it just works like a charm. I think it is a hardware issue. Also sometimes when launching the camera the screen starts shaking like mad and a rattling sound can be heard, this is not the normal sound of the camera, since it did it sometimes when booting the phone, it is crazy loud now.
Any help? The no 3g connection drives me crazy! Samsung just told me to bring it to a repair centre but wanted to ask you guys if it happened to any of you. Thanks a lot.
I had the same issue with my camera. Took it to my carrier and they had to replace the lens. Samsung told me it was hardware failure in the camera. I've read a few people who have had the issue, not sure how they all fixed it though.
A few days ago I received my Elephone S8. It looks like the fingerprint scanner is a bit loose, whenever I tap it, it makes noise.
Has anybody the same experience?
Another irritating thing is that the phone performs a soft reboot during calls. I'm trying another dialer app now and it looks like that is working better. Using the Google dialer doesn't work.
I got that rattle on the fingerprint sensor but not when I got it. I got it after about 2 months of use and I fell it once. However, it is very minimal and I can't hear it. I just feel it whenever I use it. It still works 100%.

Fortunately the scanner works like it should, so I'm not sure about returning the phone.
I do still have an issue where the phone freezes after an incoming call. After about 30 seconds or so, everything is back to normal. I'll open a new thread about this.
Return the phone you already have two issues. There are more issues with this phone than you can imagine.

I'm thinking about that indeed. Question is which problems a new one might have, since there are so few members here with other problems than mine.
I just got this phone about 2 weeks ago it replaced a frame Realms x50 china version which I loved but broke the screen on, which replaced a Samsung glass S20 fe which I have my 11 year old, too many issues with the phone.
Now I have a weird issue when on a call if I look at the screen I see that it says that I have another call on hold and I don't. There isn't even a choice to swap it merge, ava usually when I have up the call it takes like 10-15 seconds for t phone to actually hang up. I love this phone and don't want to return it is not a big deal but I was wondering if anyone had this issue and I there's anyway to fix it.
No one has this issue? if so i'll send the phone back to get an exchange, please let me know.
Thanks.
