Hangouts black screen - General Questions and Answers

I am trying to send a photo through Google Hangouts.
I select the pic from the gallery and click the "share via" icon then select hangouts
then I select my account then the person I want to send pic to and all I get is a black screen and the top status bar is blinking on and off .
It never sends the picture and i have to back out of the app.
Just wondering if anybody has had a similar experience and maybe someone can help me fix this issue.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer .

For if you can tell me which device you are using
Its rooted or not
Android version
I could guess the problem and send you the solution

well i don't really want to do a factory reset.
but i will give it a try.
i have my system backed up anyway so if it doesn't fix it I will just restore backup.
thank you for advice.

Are youbusing custom rom
Sent from my SM-G355H using XDA Free mobile app

yes this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...x-4-0-touchwiz-4-4-2-ucufne4-8-12-14-t2848080

also it used to work fine
then it just stopped working no error message at all it just stays on the black screen with the status bar at top blinking.

If you want that your device should do for what you bought it than please do not install any custom rom.
I am not against its a good idea to have custom rom but flashing it over stock is a baaaaaad idea. You can dual bood all roms.
Stock rom provide all features to do all for what you bought.
I know stock touchwiz is laggy and is waste for fast ones.
But you can always twick stock rom rather than just installing custom roms.
Just refer to my topic

Well I wound up reflashing the rom from scratch again.
Hangouts is now working with no problem.
The only thing i can think of that might have caused this was probably playing around with the DPI settings.
Not really sure though it is the only thing i recently tweaked.

Ya it could be dpi. I havey dpi changed and all works fine except dialer amd camera and gallery all non stocks app work fine but sone have problem.
You can correct ig by using xposed module and as setting module.
Install both the app and restore that apps setting to default which is not working well. I did this on my core 2 and it works well

[Q] Axis rom Aosp mms not working

I have a metro pcs Galaxy s3. and i installed the Axis rom and had to flash a fix from another rom to get data to work ,also flashed the USC lean kernel to have the rom run smoothly. When flashing the rom in the AROMA process you have to option to flash AOSP mms. But it always seems to crash and i have to do a clean flash without. Everyone over at the metro forum is having this same issue. If any of Android Gurus over here can resolve this issue then it would be greatly appreciated by the Metro Gs3 family

Thing that gets me is that Goog just releases a slightly newer version of Android and doesn't tell anyone. -_-
I installed it without root and works fine for me, no flashing just installed the apk.

Second link in my third post is the flashable zip. It fixes the crashing while using photo sphere on the s4. I don't know if it will work right on our tablet. You can try if you want, just make a backup. If you already tried that then it needs some dev work..

[Q] FC Camera

Solution Camera FC
Hey guys,
Had the same error. I also posted a topic for this but I figured it out on my own. The problem is the faux kernel, not the stock rom. When applying the settings in the app for kernel settings "Faux123 Kernel Enhancement Project", DON'T select Intellithermal, like it's posted with the recommended settings but select Thermald (stock). Reboot and your problem should be solved. Please share this post so people won't face this problem anymore. No thanks!
Sorry, but I didn't mess with kernels at all.
I didn't unlock bootloader also. I'm with pure stock rom on untouched device.

The forum manger replies to us and here is his reply
"
Often this happens when another app is using the camera for something and fails to fully release it. If you have a flashlight app installed, that's the first one I'd look at.
Other problem apps are MessageMe and an older version of Google Goggles.
Second, try to Power cycle the device. This will clear out any resource locks on the camera hardware or reset the state of the camera.
Third, clear camera app by going to SETTINGS > APPS > tab to ALL > find CAMERA > FORCE CLOSE.
Please let us know if your problem persists.
"
BTW .. what does Power cycle the device mean ??
Just means to shutdown your phone by holding power button

No wifi or mobile data???

My phone was working fine last night. It went dead, threw it on the charger, turned it on this morning and now I get no data. Wifi connects and so does 3g & 4g, but there is no data coming in or going out. Phone and text are working. I also just noticed that my comma disappeared from the stock keyboard. Any ideas? The only thing I can think of is that I was trying to disable the volume warning by installing the app "wanam kit" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ma.wanam.wanamkit&hl=en
I've rebooted several times since installing wanam kit, everything was fine all day yesterday.
I'm rooted on the stock ROM, nothing else.
Thanks,
-Mike
All you need to do is try uninstalling the wanam kit and reboot ! if it works good and fine if not roll back to official stock Rom there it'll fix everything for you

Yes, uninstalled wanam kit and rebooted this morning. I was trying to avoid reformatting my phone, I just got it set back up the way I want. Thanks for the reply.

Rooting your phone resulted in success ? Or you messed up with it?

Yes, it's been rooted for several months now. Don't remember which method I used.
As of my experience all you need to do is flashing the stock Rom or try flashing the custom Rom as you're already rooted anyhow we've got many stable ports for s5.

Hmmm, well re-formatting my phone didn't fix the problem. Gonna try a different ROM.
Looks like I'm going to flash the stock rom & bootloader and see what happens. If it's still whopper-jawed, I guess it will be ready to take it to a sprint service store for the warranty . Ugh.
