Hi All,
I did an upgrade to 5.1 (LMY47I) on my Nexus 5 and started facing some strange issues and have no clue on how to resolve them. Before the upgrade I had the following config:
Recovery: TWRP
Root status: Rooted
ROM: Stock 5.0 LRX22C
I used following method for the upgrade: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...e-update-rooted-device-to-5-1-lmy47d-t3050789
It was successful but post that I came across few issues as below:
1. Power button functionality was erratic. Sometimes it would lock my mobile but at other times it was locking and waking up my phone immediately. At times "Power Off" popup was also showing up. While I tried to figure out reason for that, trying power button multiple times, my phone rebooted and started the "Optimising Apps" sequence once again. It happened again a couple of times and so I decided to try out factory reset (since I hadn't done that after upgrading).
2. I did a factory rest from Settings. After factory reset, apps and other settings were gone but I noticed that user data in the storage was intact. I guess that also gets removed on a factory reset. Am I wrong on this one?
3. I wanted to install Cerberus as a system app and so I downloaded its zip from the website and flashed using recovery. I was surprised to see that the app wasn't showing after booting up. I tried couple of times more but got no success. So, I decided to install it from Play store and convert to system app using Link2SD. When I tried doing that, Link2SD gave me an error saying "/system: not enough storage space". I tried converting few other apps but got same error. Any thoughts on what could be going on here?
Thanks,
Anurag

1- Possibly hardware (power key) issue
2- Factory reset from Android OS *should* erase all user data.
3- Its just that, /system does not have enough free space to put more apps in there. Common issue after Lollipop. Remove some other app from /system, such as Maps, for example, to free up some more space. Be reminded that once you start messing with /system, this will (or might) cause issues with OTA updates.
So I managed to tackle (or at least figured the reason) for all the issues I was having:
1- Yes, there is some issue with the power key. ? But the other issue of optimising apps loop was because I did not do a clean install which disappeared when I did the factory reset after that.
2- After doing some reading on the Internet, I came to know that stock recovery cleans the user data but twrp doesn't by default. Since I had twrp, it just removed apps and settings but retained other data. In order to do a clean install I flashed stock LMY47I again including recovery, userdata etc. (used flash-all.bat). This removed everything from storage and made my phone as good as a new one (software wise).
3- Yes, it was the issue with storage space and was a surprise for me. Thanks for clarifying on that. Before I did a clean install, I tried removing couple of system apps and was able to install cerberus after that via recovery too. However, clean install solved everything.. ☺

Hello,
I don't know why but my Galaxy S6's back camera just keeps on force closing.
No matter what I try:
- Rebooting
- Flashing a new Rom through TWRP
- Odin to stock
- Wipe everything on recovery
- Clear camera cache, data and force stop it
-Booting into Safe Mode
I'm out of ideas, anyone know how this can be fixed?
I would also like to add that, about 2 months ago the same thing happened to my phone and after trying all of the above that time also, nothing was working. I took it to tmobile and a representetive asked me "have you tried rebooting?" And as he asked he was rebooting my phone in front of me. I said "Yes" and when the phone booted back up, he opened the Camera app and it was working -__-
I have been rebooting for the past 2 days hoping for that to happen again, to no avail.
Hello,
Since June 2020, I have been facing erratic issues with my oneplus 7.
- Started with a reboot loop. Did a factory reset, things were ok for a day.
- After that the phone randomly reboots atleast 2-3 times a day. Factory resetted many times. With a hope that beta build may solve the issue, installed BETA software from oneplus. But no luck. Problem continues.
- Recently noticed that sometimes, all of a sudden my contacts disappear. Wiping cache or disabling and reenabling Google contact sync brings them back.
- Wipe Cache data doesnot help in resolving this issue of random reboots
- Occassionaly apps like Whatsapp, Phone dialer or Launcher crashes. Wipe cache temporarily resolves the issue, but it again comes in a day or two.
I have not installed any unauthorised apps and all my apps are from verified google play store...
Totally frustrated with the problem of the phone...
Anyone has any luck in getting a solution to this problem?
Try latest open beta
Thanks for the reply, but I am already on the latest beta
This is because maybe the last ota installed (before this problem started) was not done porperly. Try full reset your phone and flashing the rom again through fastboot or you can try going back to h2os (which is the main rom when all the OnePlus phones are made with then switched to o2os) and then switch to o2os which will be a clean flash. You can find the procedures in the forums. I faced your problem a lot because I switch roms a lot and tried out these which solved mine
I have a sm-g930a s7 at&T. about 2 weeks ago my camera and flashlight quit working. I have tried the following:
disable smart stay
, reboot phone.
went to camera app, force stopped, cleared cache, cleared data, restarted phone
, restarted in safe mode, camera still not working in safe mode.
cleared system cache, wiped data, did factory setup. camera not working
Changed the software on phone using odin. flashed G930AUCUBCTB1. Odin worked, Camera not working still. I was considering trying a ball peen hammer, but not there quite yet.
My backup phone is a s7 edge with a beautiful pink line.
Any idea where to go from here?
I have the same problem, open camera and I get a black screen followed by a "camera failed" message. Tried different apps. Actually replaced the rear camera. Reset phone back to factory stock. Did all of the "other" stuff. Nothing works. The problem started shortly after the last (February) and final OTA update that ATT did. Anyone have anything I can flash to my phone with ODIN? It is a SM-G930A Baseband G930AUCUBCTB1.

Try installing a different camera app and see if that works. If it doesn't, it could very well be the camera itself.

I have tried 2 or 3 different camera apps. No help. I forgot to say that the camera will actually come on very very occasionally.
This is the first device I haven't rooted in about a decade. No modifications whatsoever. So it's weird to me that I'm having significant issues with the stock experience.
I noticed a few weeks back when I tried to restart it, it loops twice on the 1+ screen then goes to recovery. It won't reboot from there. I believe I needed to shut it down then turn it on.
I was planning on troubleshooting when I had a chance but now it won't install or update apps from play store.
The obvious potential fix is a factory reset but tbh I'm a little anxious about boot loops or other issues.
Has anyone else experienced this?
You do any major firmware updates?
Factory reset if so.
Otherwise clear the system cache.
Factory reset if that fails.
It's fixing to crash and burn.
Maybe a 3rd party app that caused this. It may be a bad firmware flash and/or hardware failure if the factory reset fails to fix it.
Stock Androids should be very stable.
May also be a virus or rootkit. Never ignore abnormal behavior. If no cause can be found suspect malware and factory reset.
It's rare but it can happen.
