Hello,
today i received my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge 126Gb.
Unfortunately the back camera is not working.
When i open the camera the phone displays:
[EN] "Camera failed"
[DE] "Kamerafehler
I googled the issue and came accross several solutions:
Reboot in safe mode and check camera. ✓
Factory Reset. ✓
Hard Factory Reset (cache partition & user data). ✓
Nothing helps, the camera will not work! :crying:
The model name is: SAM SM-G925F
I pre-ordered the phone the day it was possible at my carrier. I waited until today. I really hope its not a hardware-problem.
Here are some photos of the Diagnostics-Menu.

Greetings from Germany

This may seem like an obvious suggestion, but I may as well say it: Have you tried contacting the place you bought it? Or simply contacting Samsung?
Chances are it's going to be an RMA. As you bought it just recently I'd take it back to the place you bought it and get a replacement.
Truly amazes me something like this can happen for a brand new device.. But I guess it's a matter of the needle in the haystack, just a shame you got the needle and it just so happened to prick you
Hi Stevles,
thank you for your fast answer!
Yeah, i was hoping my issue was common and you experts know a quick solution.
(Like a Firmware Update etc. ... i dont know)
I pre ordered it at T-Mobile (Germany) and got it via Mail today.
I will send it back tomorrow and ask for a new device.
Is there something i can do for you guys.
E.g. Export some logs for to identify the affected hardware to help others?
Recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S5 and noticed its in retail mode. I have been trying for hours trying to see if their is a way to remove it. tried reinstalling OS using odin but it just goes back to the same thing after reboot. Has anyone else fixed this issue and mind helping me go through the steps as to what to do to remove the retail mode.
I have also tried that whole retail mode app and putting in password 5444 and still didnt work. Hopefully someone can help me! TIA!
Sorry if this is in the wrong section. Was looking as to where i can go for this but couldnt find anywhere else where this would fit
You may have to refresh a stock firmware. Alot of the devices we get in for retail display don't have a mode persay but a custom built version that only has what is there. So if you can find a decent way to flags it that maybe your best bet. Also just a heads up those devices are not to be sold and of one comes up missing we blacklist the IMEI. Might want to call sprint before you put too much work into it.
About the few months ago, I installed a custom firmware onto my phone as I rooted it and a few days ago I had an app turn off my OEM unlock and basically locked all of my developer options. I didn't think it would affect my phone till my phone's battery died one evening and ever since it refuses to charge or boot. I am sort of scared that I won't be able to reopen it. I am currently trying the solutions offered in this website but non seem to work??? I do know the google account associated with this phone before it was locked though? would that do me any good?? Please help
Hi all
I have buy this Smartphone for a Month.
First time was all good.
Im a Truck driver, and I use this Phone via Hdmi cable with a 27" Monitor. This 'Ready For' feature was a good option for Netflix, and Amazon Prime. (For Gaming not so good, very less Game support a joystick...)
I live in Europe ( Germany)
The phone installed automatically 2 or 3 little software update. 20-30 Mb.
Now secondary Display don't supported anymore with Netflix, Prime.
I have installed a old Netflix Apk, but don't help
Maybe problem is a software update.
Can I install a Stock original firmware?
Try a factory reset. Sorry.
You can reflash to firmware that's compatible with the bootloader version.
It's the fifth digit from the end of both numbers (at least on Samsung's) You can't go to firmware version with a lower significant number.
If the update upgraded the boot loader your locked to it.
It wasn't a major update so you probably still can reflash to the original firmware.
Disable updates in the future though... you see why now.

Your going to have to hunt that firmware down.
I'm not familiar with that manufacturer. Get the right version though...
Maybe your carrier (whoever provided the problem update) will help.
Dig through settings, permissions etc.
Generally if you play with it and look for the answer long enough, you'll find it.
My bt went nuts the other day after a network reset. Never did that before. Took me about a hour of playing with the phone to restore it. Still not sure exactly what did... whatever.
Play with it... Androids wuv attention

I actually ended up purchasing the Pixel 6 Pro refurbished for half price. This Nokia G300 was not able to handle my application usage. I had frequent freezes, apps just dying, etc. The device isn't even 5 months old, and it was dying.

For me it just seems to not work with WIFI at all, which is sad because some apps don't even recognize that I have internet, period.

You'll have to factory reset the phone by accessing the recovery boot screen. Do a search for Nokia 300 factory reset. That will give you instructions.

Try holding every those buttons except the power and plug in a charge cord to the device. This will act the same as pressing the power button.
