Hi I was just wondering if anyone has had problems with using the camera on the phone with the flash enabled. I had this problem with ed2 in the past. Today I decided to use the camera for the first time in awhile with the flash and as soon as I took the picture the phone just went to a black screen resulting in me having to pull the battery. I'm running ee4 debloated with the peanut butter jelly kernel. The phone takes pictures without the flash perfectly fine. However, once I enable the flash and take the picture, the phone focuses, the flash turns on, and as soon as the phone takes the picture the screen turns black and the phone locks up. Hopefully someone comes up with a reply. Maybe it's hardware related? I don't remember if stock ee4 had this issue or not. The only roms I've ran so far have been the debloated roms by imnuts.
Happening to me too.
I fixed the issue. Im not sure why recovery was causing the issue but it was. Anyway what you're going to have to do is a factory restore on your current rom. I know that sucks but that's the only fix I could find.

happens to me too =(. Happened to me the first day i got my charge and Hoping that rooting and changing roms will fix it, but it didn't. I'm not sure how often this will happen because im scared to try it. Last time I took a pic with flash, the screen blacked out so i had to do a battery pull...Rebooted and BAM...i get the "process.com.google.process.gapp" error message. (Happened to me running GummyCharged, now running Altered Beast) So as soon as that happened, I knew that I had to factory reset the ROM. I really dont want to factory reset again because I dont want to go through the process of everything again. Lol.. So if anyone has any advice, fixes...please, share! =).
I was also reading on other forums that maybe the SD card write speed has something to do with it? something with the SD's class. (Class 2...class 4.. etc??)
Thanks!
Hey guys.. So I've had my inspire for about 2 or 3 months now, and this thing is driving me apeshhh. Here is why...
For a few weeks now, the phone would randomly restart in the middle of doing something, always random. Sometimes while writing a msg in the stock facebook app. Sometimes when browsing market, sometimes when browsing using the web browser. Today I wanted to download Astro to see if the music I put on the phone went to external or internal SD. As soon as the download finished, the phone restarted. After it booted back up I looked through apps, and it never installed. I went back to market and searched it, pulled it up, and it shows installing.... let it sit for 5 minutes... nothing. Restarted, same thing. Pulled the battery... same thing... I can't cancel it, or try again. It will now no longer install anything else.
I figured maybe it needs to download something that it just doesn't have the network speed to use, and trying turning on wifi. IT WONT EVEN TURN ON. Under the settings menu to turn it on, it says error. When i tap on it, the error msg just goes off then comes back right away.
Anybody else experience this? I really wish SOMEBODY would come out with a decent f**king phone on the AT&T network.... I guess I can now add HTC to the list of people that can't build a decent phone. Just below Samsung... (What a POS line of phones they have released).
Anyway, phone is stock, not rooted, nothing turned off, completely stock.
How does the warrenty work now? I bought the phone outright, cash, $500... for this....
Thanks for any help.
Could be your phone mate. I've had this phone maybe about three months and haven't experienced those issues. Just might be a lemon you have. Where did you purchase the phone?

I bought the phone at an authorized AT&T retailer store. The kind you find in common shopping strips.
Try to see if they will give you a replacement

Back up your stuff and factory reset. If that doesn't work then either Root it and try a different ROM or get a replacement phone.
You might want to look at the thread in here about random shutdowns. It looks like the batteries on these phones can be the culprit. My phone randomly shutdown, sometimes restarted. I thought it was a ROM I had loaded at first. The problem got progressively worse no matter what ROM I used. It would do it maybe once a day & then within less than 3 weeks I have to keep it plugged in all the time. It happened when I opened a power-intensive app like navigation or a game. The battery is covered under warranty.
This issue seems to be rather uncommon, but it does exist.
Nothing compared to what Captivate owners went through.
Lemons do happen, but as suggested, I'd try another battery first. If that doesn't solve the problem, there shouldn't be any issue with getting a warranty replacement.
And that warranty replacement will, with near certainty, be a good one. Again, unlike the Captivate.
I've had mine for about 3 months with none of these issues. HTC phones for me have been great. Even their customer service and support if their products. And I have had Samsung,motorolla, and LG none at the same level of build quality. If you continue having problems get in touch with the HTC support they will help if not let u know if you can get a replacement.

I am a former captivate owner. That phone was so bad that it destroyed it's own internal memory. Every app continously force close, every process, upon startup one day. Restored a backup, got nothing, reflashed, got nothing, mounted it and formated it then ran a memory checking utility on my computer with it, and it showed like 46% of the sectors being bad, after then 2nd test somewhere in the high 50s. I promtly punched in the screen and folded the phone in half, and tore it into 2 pieces... So i think that may be why I'm relatively patient with this phone.. (that was also my 3rd captivate replacement). (Debating using a picture of the phone as-is in a DIY to fixing captivates and post it in that forum... get all your frustration out and buy a new phone.. ha ha.)
I will call HTC and see talk to a rep, maybe they know more about the problem and will be able to determine whether the phone or the battery is at fault.
Also, factory reset did not fix the wifi problem. Instead of immediately going back to error under it's status, and spent about 10 seconds trying to connect, then came up with error. This leads me to believe it's hardware related.
I will most likely push for a replacement phone then. I do have a concern with that though... My phone has never gotten wet, and only has a small indication of falling out of my pocket while sitting in a stadium chair (maybe a 12 inch drop onto concrete). Will this void my warrenty? The scar left behind is hardly noticeable, but if they looked for it, it will be seen. Another thing is, when I pull my battery cover off, there are 2 screws along the side, one is covered by a sticker that reads VOID, black sticker with white text. Is that some kind of indicator of water damage? I'm more familiar with white stickers turning red or pink from water damage... and as said, this phones never been wet.
Thanks again for the help.
At&t is usually good about replacing defective phones and will be faster than dealing with htc. You obviously have experience with at&t warranty having owned a captivate.

Those stickers are intact right? As long as their intact and not "punched in," which would indicate a screwdriver has penetrated in order to get the phone open, you should be good, as far as that's concerned.
Uhh well bad luck for you... I dont think this is a common problem...
Im guessing the iphone is on top of your list xD

i bought my gf a thunderbolt about 2 months ago. and lately her screen just starts acting up. like the home screen will just spin and pretty much spaz. she can be in the middle of something and widgets start moving around and the screen starts spinning. thers no case or any screen protectors. anyone have any ideas?
My aunt had this same problem and I didn't believe how crazy it was until I attempted to use her phone, I never seen a phone act like that. I tried an assortment of things to fix it but nothing I tried worked. She did have a screen protector on that I thought could be causing that problem but I guess not. She has sense then taken it back to version and had it replaced. No issues from the referb.

digatizer?
Mine recently starting acting funky and strange but not as you describe. It was almost as if a magnet was pulling some of the pixels and causing distortion of colors. It also seemed to freeze up my camera really strange like.. I removed PRO HDR which is a cam app I recently updated and did a reboot and now it's fine. You try a back up/wipe/restore yet?
I have had this happen as well but it seems to happen to me if I set the phone down and don't push the button to put the phone to sleep. It actually happened much more when I was unrooted and running stock but since installing Liquid Smooth GB 3.2 the frequency has really diminished. If anyone has a permanent fix I would love to hear it and try it out.
im really baffled im pissed because i didint buy it through verizon so idk maybe i can contact htc fora referb.
I've never dabbled in HTC customer service but I'm sure they would back a phone with troubles such as yours

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem. I am having an issue when I start the camera application it just shows the camera UI but the rest of the screen where the camera preview would be is totally black. On that screen hitting the buttons don't do anything.
If I open an application which uses the camera like Instagram it comes up with the error "Cannot connect to camera" or the screen goes totally black.
I am a bit of an Android noob but I can't figure out why this is happening. I have tried clearing the camera app's cache and force restarting it. It doesn't seem to help. The only way I can get the Camera to start working again is a reboot and then it might only work when I first boot it up. If I try again 15 minutes later it starting messing up again.
If you guys need any other info let me know, thanks for the help
return it, mine is just fine.
I tried to exchange it and all the AT&T stores are sold out
This is a pretty frustrating problem, compounded with the fact it seems I'm the only one having it.
Might be a dumb question but have you done a factory reset? Clearing cache normally will do the trick but if not, I'd go with a reset.
Well everyone, the camera problems turned out to be a symptom of a much larger problem that started happening. The LCD eventually started going rainbow whenever there was motion on the screen or I touched it. What this has to do with the camera I have no idea but I think there was something really wrong the hardware I got.
It's hard to explain what it looked like but it was like a seizure inducing flashing of white and other colors of the rainbow. Basically the LCD was failing or there was a loose connection in the hardware somewhere. I called AT&T and they were really awesome about it; they called all my local stores to find a One X for me so I could exchange it today. They even had the store set one aside for me, nice work AT&T.
When I got to the store all the employees gathered around to see my epically failing One X and everyone agreed the screen would kill a an epileptic person in short order. 10 minutes and I was out the door with my brand new HOX fresh out of the box. Overall this was not the experience I was hoping for my first few days with the phone but it was just my turn to get a dud I guess.
Couldn't be happier now that I have a fully functional phone, this thing is seriously amazing.
There are duds in every batch. Glad you were able to get it exchanged just fine
Hi folks,
few weeks ago I cracked my screen because my phone fell on the floor...
I finally decided to get it fixed in a phone store.. After they changed the screen I noticed that the edge sense didn't work proper.
For a second I thought, Well.. It's buggy and a restart will probably fix it but it didnt fix it. Once I turned edge sense off and again on under the settings the phone started to randomly do screenshots, turn on and off the flashlight and all kind of weird stuff. I looked like I would be pressing the edge sense all time time. So the other day I went to the shop again and told them whats wrong. They told me, no problem.. we will take a look. Turned out they damaged a edge sensor while replacing the screen, they ordered all sensors and replaced all. But even after replacing all sensors I still have the same issue with the phone doing what it wants once edge sense is turned on. Now the dude from the shop told me that its a software because he replaced the old sensors with newer/different sensors and the software doesn't recognize them right or something like that. They want me to go back to stock so they can upgrade / flash some update and this should fix it. Tbh, I dont feel like going back to stock, it just takes a lot of time since I am on Leedroid.

Anyone had a similar issue? Is there a way to fix it somehow without going to back stock?
Many thanks in advice.
