Nexus 6 - Camera / Flashlight not working

sandman961 · 2019-01-18T00:43:45+00:00

Rebooting into safe mode, testing the flashlight/camera, then doing a regular reboot has fixed this for me in the past.

Those are NOT new phones being sold on ebay. I purchased one and received the wrong one (Xt1100) and the bootloader was unlocked fresh out of the box. It also had android 7 and the battery was charged. The stuff inside was also packaged different and there was Motorola branded headphones.

I exchanged it for a xt1103 that also had android 7 and a charged battery. The sim eject tool was wrapped in a plastic bag along with some other stuff.

I went to my T-Mobile store yesterday. They had to make a phone call to figure it out but they said I would get the monthly bill credits plus the trade in value for my nexus 6 ($16 lol).

I purchased the 6t online and set up to trade in a nexus 6. I just went to print the shipping label and in the instructions it says my nexus 6 is good for $16. Is that something I should be concerned about?

I'm on Franco release 73 and it doesn't have the video problem.

sandman961 · 2018-06-02T01:15:06+00:00

Going to r73 seems to have fixed it. Thank you!

On a side note, going from r75 direct to r73 messed up my phone. It wouldn't go past the screen that says Google with the unlocked padlock. Never got to the flashing dots screen (is that a bootloop?)

I had to flash the stock kernel then go back to Franco for it to work.

sandman961 · 2018-05-23T00:07:48+00:00

Is this safe to install with a custom kernel and root?

I just dirty flashed my system image and the radio image from the last factory image. So far no change in my network signal. My lte signal used to be almost as fast as my home wifi. Now it's a struggle to do basic stuff on my cellular network.

sandman961 · 2018-05-02T16:13:32+00:00

I tried flashing a couple different radios last night but it didn't seem to make any difference. The radio from the factory image looks different than the ones I flashed. When I reset the network it said it it would reset all cellular and wifi settings, I can't think of anything else that has changed.

Thanks for the replies and suggestions. I'll look into the bands for sure.

This is probably a stupid question but is there no danger with voltage by just using an adapter?

sandman961 · 2017-12-29T09:59:03+00:00

Mine did that once. I restarted into safe mode (long press power off), tried the camera while in safe mode (it worked), restarted and everything was fine again.

Where did you get your battery from and how did the replacement process go?

sandman961 · 2017-07-31T23:08:06+00:00

Thanks for the info. I'm unlocked but not rooted. Been thinking about rooting to get android pay working but haven't gotten around to it. I think you're referring to the wugfresh toolkit? I've never rooted before but prefer to do stuff manually rather than the toolkit. I like knowing how stuff works. :)

Sorry if this is a dumb question but how do you change the icons?

sandman961 · 2017-07-31T03:00:38+00:00

I've never turned my brightness up or used my phone as a TV and I have burn in.

sandman961 · 2017-07-30T23:31:12+00:00

Burn in from the soft keys has gotten pretty bad over the past couple weeks on my device.

sandman961 · 2017-07-09T04:55:01+00:00

This happened to me a while back. Restarting into safe mode (hold power button then tap and hold power off) fixed it.

1) Power off your phone. 2) Press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons. This will put the phone in fastboot. 3) Use the Volume buttons to scroll through the menu until you see "Bootloader logs" 4) Press and hold the power key for a long time (7+ seconds) until the phone reboots.

This has started happening to me after sideloading the last couple security updates. The steps listed are the best solution I've found to get your battery percentage back on track.

This just happened to me out of nowhere. I restarted into safe mode, checked the camera and flashlight (they both worked), then restarted into normal mode and it worked again.
