Very high battery draw/camera issues

So a few days ago I checked my phone at work, had been off the charger for 4 hours not used at all and it was dead. Battery draw was ~300ma the whole time. The next day I noticed my camera wasn't working. Ill get an error message(activity camera not responding). Sometimes ill attempt to open the app and nothing will happen. This was all on gingerbeast. So I wiped all data and reflashed GB. Camera still doesn't work and battery draw is insane. I've since tryed AR, virtuous and cm7. For the record I've wiped battery stats,tryed without SD and sim card. I've been unable to find the cause of the high draw,although I think its related to the camera. Tomorrow I'm going to try and unroot and return to fully stock. Sorry for the long post any help is appreciated.

If your camera isn't working on any freshly installed ROMs, you probably have a hardware problem. As a last resort, try going back to the stock ROM. If your camera is still bad, then you'll need to do a warranty exchange with AT&T. The camera issues may very well be causing your high battery drain.

So HTC told me to send it to them within 30 days. And what do you know the next day my camera works fine! Should I still send It in or wait it out? Im also getting slight screen lifting in the corner so I might as well? I don't have a spare phone to use but I can buy some cheapo for a temp

Yes. That screen lifting will get worse before it gets better, so take care of it while you still can.

From what I recall, the inspire is about 20 times harder to replace the screen/digitizer, because the thing it honestly slapped together.
@ OP Sad part is if you do wish to repair it your probably going to have to go through HTC as I had some lengthy conversations with ATT and had to threaten to cancel and report them to the BBB on face book before anyone actually wanted to help me. MY phone was to the point where the bottom right of the screen had lifted and I could press on the bottom center and here clicking noises.
Edit: Try downloading watch dog lite to see if any apps are causing the battery draw before you unroot, a little troubleshooting can go a long way .

Refund or ANOTHER Replacement?

I've now had about 6 or 7 replacements of Nexus 5's with varying ***K numbers and finally Google have asked me if I would accept a full refund instead of a replacement.
The main issue I've been getting that isn't being fixed by them is nobody can hear ever me properly as it's always muffled on their end although I can hear them perfectly.
If I were to get a replacement, there's a 99.99% chance that the issue will still be there but I love everything else about the phone too much.
If I were to get a refund, what alternative is there that's as good as the Nexus 5 offering a pure Android experience?

Weird... Since I bought this phone people say they hear me more clearly now.

Since the problem exists for everyone I can guarantee you the problem will still be there. Accept a refund or wait for a software fix. Cover up teh 2nd microphone to see if that si any better.

It's noise cancellation. depends on where you are (how much background noise and how close to the second microphone the noise is)

Well, there are obviously no devices which provide the pure android experience except the GPE editions of HTC One etc.
However, if you like to root, then you can basically buy any high end device and flash a custom rom and enjoy the pure aosp experience. But the Nexus 5 is Google's baby and the awesome support you will get here won't be available elsewhere! Nexus 5 is a cut above the rest when it comes to development
I would strongly suggest you to wait for Google's next update

Well, I won't say it's crystal clear but there isn't much muffling on my device. Yes, as rootsu explained, it surely does depend upon the environment you're in.

6 or 7 times, honestly i don't know how you have the patience. Luckily I haven't experienced this problem, what i do know is that when i had the S2 i used to get very good call quality. Its noise cancellation worked to well. I'd imagine its the same for the S4 and S5.
One thing I will say though, I don't think i'd happier with any phone currently more than the Nexus 5. I had the LG G2 briefly, expecting it to be a superior N5 I was shockingly disappointed. The build quality is relatively poor compared to the N5 and the screen isn't big enough for me to notice the difference. The back was a finger print nightmare (though the white version of the LG G2 might disguise this) and I personally found the buttons on the back awkward.
The deal breaker ultimately was knowing i'd not be able to get pure AOSP for the LG G2, not in the same manner as the Nexus 5, in that it comes with stock vanilla rom, to which i can simply add Xposed frameworks and tweak every aspect of my rom. The G2's would always be custom version from CM or AOKP etc, (which isn't necessarily a bad thing for most).
Anyway, all this made me appreciate the N5 even more. (The white one )

various results of it being successfully disabled in build.prop

I've had this issue on every single N5 I've had from Google. Every single person complains they can't hear me properly or I sound like I'm far away from the mic. Blocking the top noise cancelling mic helps but I really don't want to have to hold my phone a certain way just to speak to my contacts (reminds me of the iPhone 4 antenna issue).
I'll just get a replacement again one last time and then try to find out if they will be addressing the issue in a future update or something.
I don't think there's any other phone that's as good as the N5.
The HTC One is too old now and I can't get a GPE version here in the UK. Also I'm too used to having 3 buttons as opposed to HTC One's 2 button approach.
I hate Samsungs from the horrible Touchwiz to their plasticky uninspiring build quality. To get vanilla, I'd need to root which means a void warranty.
Not keen on the LG G2 or Sony's for similar reasons about voiding warranty as Samsungs to get vanilla.

No offence but what was the point in creating this thread then? You've pretty much explained everything in your previous post. The device which you're looking for is a Nexus and you yourself have pointed out as to why you don't want to buy any other devices!
In any case, lets just be patient and hope that THE BOSS releases this fix in their next update! Cheers!

I've sent Google an angry email regarding this issue asking them to look into fixing it.
In the meantime, I've asked for another replacement.

No but by testing that you identify that it IS noise cancellation.
Asking for a replacement is useless. I mean literally useless. The new one WILL have this issue. There is no fix yet. Either wait until there is or get a refund.

I'm not settling for a phone that is useless as a 'phone'. I'm going to keep getting them to send me replacements until they understand there's an issue here that needs addressing. I'll just keep doing it until the Nexus 6 comes out then sell on my latest replacement as a brand new unopened handset and get the Nexus 6.
If this was the iPhone, they'd have addressed and fixed it a long time ago!! Why should we have to suffer this issue.

My first S5 the camera completely died. Sprint Corp store couldn't fix it and replaced it on the spot. I'm now noticing on the replacement, when starting the camera app the camera is black for maybe 2 to 3 seconds then the view appears.
Kinda worried about the replacement also.
Sprint will replace your phone with no questions. Apparently this is a major fsck up on Samsung's part and Sprint is replacing them.

The black screen for 2-3 seconds happens on my S5 occasionally.
I have a little rattle from what sounds like the camera on my S5 if you shake the phone a bit. When you go into the camera app, then try to rattle the phone, the rattle stops and won't make a noise. That's real strange to me, but did either of you experience this on your camera prior to failure? Also is the 2-3 second black screen enough to get a new phone? Final question, I don't have TEP, I assume they're replacing the phone for anyone with this failure with or without TEP?

Well, I got the camera failed message this afternoon. Went by a Sprint store and they swapped it out even without TEP. Although they had to order me one and said it would be there in 3-5 days. I confirmed it was new and not refurbished, but we will see when it arrives. Is this common practice that they can't just give me one out of their stock? This store is the authorized repair facility for Sprint and do full Sprint business but a 3rd party company. So I thought that might have something to do with it.

If the Sprint repair facility near me has S5's in stock but they want to order mine and tell me there's a 3 to 5 day wait I would be pissed.
Why can't they give you one from their stock? 3rd party vendor may have something to do with it. Still BS in my eyes.
My replacement has so many issues. The blackness lag when starting up the camera, LTE dropping like mad, always a low LTE signal, speakerphone is useless. People call me but there is no log of it in the dialer app, yet the voicemail timestamp is there. The phone doesn't even ring.
I think I am going to get this replaced one last time and give the replacement to my wife and either get the iphone 6 or the new LG.

Why exchange it then? It could have just been software related.
On Verizon, it was hardware related and a reboot didn't do anything

Thats wishful thinking my friend but that would be nice.. In my experiences and I have exchanged several devices over the years with Sprint they call you back several days later you go in and it will be a device for device swap you hand them your broken/defective one they activate and hand you replacement.. Still not bad if yours is broken but no extra freebies unfortunately..

Yes, that was a joke. I'm still replacing it as I don't want that to come back again. I don't have tep so now's my chance if it happens again, I may be sol. Fortunately, found a friend of a friend that works at this store. He's verified it should be new. So there's not much to lose with swapping, except my time rebuilding all my stuffs. Plus, I'm heading out on vacation soon and need this camera to function.

Picked up my device today. It came in a white long box that said RECxxxxx on it, BUT there is no recondition date listed in the ##786# menu. Everything appears brand new on it and it functions well, so its new despite the box.

That's pretty common with Galaxy phones.
Btw, if it happens again, take it to a sprint store. It's an actual known issue in their eTicket system(repair system they use), so they will issue you a replacement device for free.

[Q] Anyone else having some issues with the S6?

Got the phone yesterday, and playing with it today, I'm noticing some issues with the phone that I hope can be corrected, because I'm kind of regretting the purchase.
First off, auto brightness turns itself off constantly. Every few minutes. Browsing facebook, twitter, etc and going nowhere near the controls, all of a sudden my screen with double the brightness for no reason, and when I check, auto brightness is unchecked in the pulldown menu. VERY annoying.
Opening links in Hangouts or Google Messenger to Chrome occasionally lags the phone out completely, or the click registers and does nothing.
I'm hoping that this is either a defective phone I can have replaced, or something fixed with a quick software update, but it's aggravating to deal with. Jumping from the Nexus 5 to a non-AOSP phone has me hesitate enough, and this isn't helping.
Edit: Just remembered, I turned off Samsung's keyboard and I'm using Google's official keyboard, and the Samsung keyboard keeps enabling itself! It's not actually switching to the Samsung keyboard, but I'm literally sliding the switch to "off", and it's sliding back to the on position on it's own accord.

Can confirm, auto brightness turns off automatically.

Do a hard reset. Chances are that all of the issues will be fixed.

Touch wiz lag is awful after installing all of my apps. I'm also wondering why I have to swipe to unlock even when it's set for just fingerprint.

Couldn't say anything about Touchwiz, as I'm using Nova Launcher. Only get lag when I'm clicking links, as mentioned. Going to do a factory reset and see what happens. I REALLY hate doing this without Titanium Backup, and Helium was buggy as all hell. For the initial setup, I ended up manually installing all the apps I had on my Nexus 5, which was a pain in my god damned ass.

anyone rooted yet? just curiuos if anyone has tried?

I'm not rooting until they either confirm tripping knox won't affect Samsung Pay, or there's a way to root without tripping it at all.
So I just did a hard reset, and of COURSE there's no way to keep your storage intact when you reset (**** you Samsung), the device switcher won't work with the Nexus 5 (Again, **** you Samsung), and I had to redownload every app by hand. As much as we ALL hate Apple, iTunes backup & restore is SORELY needed on Android.

I'm not seeing much lag if at all, but I WAS seeing the issue with the Auto-Brightness, until I did a hard reset.
Battery issues are pretty bad, but it seems to just need a software update, or an updated radio. The Cell Standby drain is strong with this phone.
Of the lag I did see, my phone actually froze up, gave a snowy image on half the screen, then crashed. Only happened once, so I'm not worried (yet).
One thing that's annoying the hell out of my though: Swiping the notification shade down takes a few tries, and sometimes clicks dont register. I never experienced this before on other phones, but I've noticed it happens more when I hit things with the sides of my thumb vs touching it flat. very odd.

ONE person mentioned lag. ONE. Most people in that thread said they didn't see lag. but there you go saying "OH NO, Samsung has done it again!"
Again, it's not even released yet, the phone has bugs. RELAX and let this work itself out.

Green Spot issue

I recently got into this green spot issue like everyone else. Planning to install whole bunch of AT&T stuffs to bring it back for replacement. However i found a fix for this. Dont know if this is temporary or permanent. Gotta wait and see. But at least it works on my phone and it may help the others too. Please dont yell if it fails on your device.
I went to Settings --> Apps ---> All ---> Camera ---> clearing data and cache. Reboot the phone and voila!! everything is FINE FINE FINE!!.
My phone is original AT&T H810 10g, flashed to H810PR 10A and rooted.

I know this has been an ongoing problem so I say good job and keep us posted.

Can you test a bit..check white balance, turn to manual and auto..does the green spot occur?

REPORTS:
As of now, after 4-5 hrs of use. The green spot seem to come back. I cleared data again, come back to Camera, it's still there for 2 seconds then disappear. Try tweaking the manual modes, it come back on and instantly disappear and never come back again. taking like 10 photos in different settings, angles, corners, lights. I dont see it again. I know it is still there. This is not a 100% fix. But it doesnt hurt to try. At least to me, there is a way to get it working when needed.

Updated: the green spot appear everytime i walk outdoor under the sun. Indoor, low lights are fine. So if the light is too bright. It will appear

To those having the green spot issue, how long did you have the phone before it started to appear?

Yes, i switch to that H810PR

I just noticed today I'm getting the green spot as well. I am also on the H810PR. Has anyone seen/heard of a fix for this or should I revert back to the original H810e and exchange the phone?

I don't believe you can revert. If you can let us know how it goes.

i'm pretty sure this is the ROM issue. Because my phone worked fine before flashing

Try to restore your phone software. Maybe it will help

I also developed the green issue after going to the PR rooted rom. We likely won't get any further updates along this path - is everyone just living with it?

If its related to software issue maybe we gonna have a poll within PR users that whose have and not having these green spot..but before these PR kdz was released, we've already seen some users having the same issue..
I guess its affected mostly in 1st batch devices

I got the green issue right after flashing PR. Im travelling out of the country this week. I will have a pro technician check it out whether it is software or hardware related and report to you guys later. If it is a software issue, i will try to upload a stock firmware if i can buy it from them. I talked to a guy earlier this morning, he says he can figure out what the problem is when i bring the phone to him. Worst case scenerio, he will flash it back to stock at&t. Their stores has the official LG tools to do it.

I replaced out my camera and both the camera flash and sensors and the greenspot was there again.

So it is the PR rom that caused it?

The camera was fine for while. But the moment I started using it again it came back. I had no problems with my ois and flash making noise/humming/vibrating till after I switched.
