Chosen Solution Hi guys and girls, My phone has been randomly going black (but not turning off) when I use certain apps (Tinder, Google Translate, and Nirvana, for example), but when I use other high usage apps like Google Maps it doesn’t turn off.

Do you know where the fault could be?...

Chosen Solution Cannot take any pictures on my rebel t5 camera.
