    what do you guys think? should this have been discovered prior to release? Has anyone found any other issues or fails? Comments below.

      +Tech Zilla I had this issue too when I got my phone last week. Tried all the usual of clearing data, cache, trying save mode etc. all to no avail. I did perform a factory reset which solved this issue for about 30 mins before it returned. I then stumbled upon this suggestion of turning of Smart Stay and XDA forums and since doing that my phone has operated perfectly fine.
      Judging by the number of people having this issue I do think Samsung should have discovered this prior to releasing the phone. When I phone their tech support etc they just told me the phone was faulty and to send it in for a repair (which I didn't want to do on a brand new phone). Any decided to search the net and found this solution and now hoping Samsung fix the issue so I can turn Smart Stay back on!

      +Mark Garton I totally agree with you, Samsung should ask some of us at xda to test the products for them prior to release.
      I sometimes feel that manufacturers now days are in a rush to get the latest product out before anyone else. HTC with their M9 last year is a prime example. After the updates and fixes the m9 is actually really really good.

    Mine was doing this and here is something I observed and an interesting solution. Nothing I did following all the suggestions, hints, tips here on TH-cam and across the Web would work. I even factory reset the phone and still it happened to the point where I was considering taking it to the shop for repair.
    It was at this point that I noticed while going through various menus / apps etc that in the swipe down notification tray that the "torch" icon was showing it was in the "on" position i.e the icon was highlighted in blue but no amount of pressing it would cancel it however the LED camera flash was not physically on that is to say there was no light shining.
    I have the "All In One" toolbox app installed whereupon it gives you the option to install a Torch plugin so I decided to give it a go and installed it. The torch plugin gives you two options to control the main front screen which it lights up as a bright plain white wallpaper and the other option to actually control the camera flash LED with an on / off toggle button. I turned on the LED and it lit up (as per a torch) and turned it off.
    I then checked the "torch" icon in the notification drop down menu and it had switched off and wasn't highlighted in blue. I then clicked the camera and it switched back on and returned to normal operation.
    So that was my discovery and it worked, so hope that helps anyone.

      @Matilda8567 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      This did nothing to help me. I even found the plugin but have no idea where to find it afterwards. If it replaced the standard widget then it did nothing. I'm uninstalling this. A seal at least gets a fish after jumping through hoops. To me, this app is just more work for no results and seems plain fishy. It might be useful for something but for me it did nothing fo help solve the issue discussed here.

    another mayor flaw is when we insert a SD card most of us get a persistent notification that say to move the data to SD card. and there is a fix but is very annoying. On this subject there is a way to make the phone storage and the SD card to work as one but I don't know how to do it.

    i have the same camera failed problem, i never used the smart stay ever since i had the phone, i bought it completley new from ebay made sure everything was on point, one day around new years just remember using the flash light to go to the restroom turn it off then next morning camera wasnt working. had it taken to try to get the camera replaced after rebooting reseting facotry reseting clearing the cache and all supposebly i was told it was a hardware problem but not even sure since another phone fixing place told me it was the camera, (my phone is on the latest update as of now) i gave up on the phone as they told me it would be cheaper to buy a new phone than to get it fixed but i dont even have money for a new phone so im stuck with a "frustrated camera" 😧
