My best guess would be to submit a bug/feedback report, if you haven't already. Since it's happening at odd times. Hopefully it stops soon though.
It's happening even when he's sleeping he said, so when he's not even touching the device. Wouldn't be a case issue.
Clearing the cache alone won't hurt or delete any user files, but yeah, accidentally wiping/resetting the entire device is what you don't want to...
That's really strange, haven't heard of that happening before. I know some people accidentally do what I explained and end up with screenshots, but...
If you hold down the power button there is an option to take a screenshot in that menu. Is there a possibility you're accidentally pressing it...
"...I didn't do a reset..." "...I did a reset system settings..." Again, like I stated, you continue to contradict yourself. A RESET and a CLEAR...
Long press camera icon > app info > storage > clear cache & clear storage OR Enter main device settings > apps settings menu > scroll to find...
Have you tried clearing the cache & data for the camera and seeing if it helps?
You're really contradicting what you're saying you did now and to be completely honest at this point, I don't know what you did really. If you lost...
If you hard/factory reset the phone, ALL files on the device will have been deleted. So, no, unfortunately.
If you signed back into Google and your contacts didn't sync, then you were never saving them to your Google account to begin with. You likely have...
Have you actively checked it though, since the update? You say this started happening after you updated and often updates does strange things like...
Do you have the "answer calls by gesture" switched on by accident in the "quick gestures" settings menu?
What?
Nobody here can improve the camera, it's just a forum of users like yourself. And if you're already using the Gcam port & like it, then continue...
Yeah, that's definitely caused by an app. Games are sometimes the main culprit but could also be any other app really. If it just started happening,...
The underwear popup? If that's what you're referring to, that's from an app not the OS. Start deleting some of your recently installed apps and see...
While it's valuable to have knowledge of the radiation levels in the devices we use, these types of charts/reports that come out (to me at least)...
Then what was the point of this entire thread you created? Seriously. You don't like the stock cam, you say Gcam crashes, you say mid-range devices...
Then try the Gcam port. Or buy one of the multiple mid-range devices that you say are better. You have options, nobody is forcing you to use OP.
