[Q] Camera crashes phone

Droid Charge, rooted, PBJ 7-31 SV Kernel, SD Speed Increase
I've only had this phone a couple weeks, but I think this is a new problem. When I try to take a picture, the phone freezes up. You hear an abbreviated shutter sound, the flash fires, and the screen goes black. None of the vol+ power, vol+ home power, etc; do anything. The only way to get the phone working again is to pull the battery.
In doing some simple testing, it only seems to do it when the flash is enabled. The camcorder works fine also.
Sound familiar to anyone?

its a known issue afaik, probably kernel related but don't quote me on it... haven't heard of a fix aside from maybe reflashing/re-odining your rom

Not happening to me, can we get some other info like your kernel, rom and free space?
Beamed from my Droid Charge using the XDA premium app

I have the same problem. It only seems to happen when the battery gets low, around 30% and the flash on. Pull the battery and restart the phone shows it did not take the picture.
I am running Eclipse 1.31, peanutbutta jelly time kernal, and I have 28.91gb free space.

That is a sign that you are undervolting too aggresively.

Elucid, im not sure thats it either. I've taken hundreds of pics with my phone. This morning while taking pics of my kids for first day of school. The cam crashed my phone. I mean super crashed. Pulled battery and reset, and my acore, swype, and android keyboard were gone. Had to completely ODIN my phone.

I have had mine crash and when I recovered i started getting all kinds of force close errors and had to odin back to stock.
I was running gummycharge with several versions of the peanutbutter jelly. I went totally back to stock and then flashed humble. Humble seems to have this problem less, but I'm not 100% sure.
I have found that the crash usually occurs when the phone is multitasking. Running pandora and taking a picture will ALWAYS crash. Running Barnacle Wifi and taking a picture crashes as well.

That seems plausible. How do I check the voltage? I'm running PBJ 8-7, have not made any changes. Should I install SetCPU?

Bump.
Guys, I really need some help here. Is there another kernel I should try? I'm on the latest PBNJ (not OC). I want to stay rooted but I might have to go back to stock if that fixes the camera problem. I have two little kids and I'm missing out on some great shots of them because of this ridiculous camera problem.

your phone might just not like undervolting... I believe imnuts' PBJ voodoo kernel is set at -50mhz across the board which is really conservative, you could always disable lagfix and use his non-voodoo PBJ kernel

I am running the voodoo flavor of PBJT (0730) without the camera issue. I had a couple of freezes and lost root a couple of times on the 0807 release. Wiping cache from CWM fixed the lost root temporarily and going back to 0730 stabilized everything again.
FWIW, there have been several posts on VZW's forums about the camera
issue on presumably stock phones.

I may have found out what the problem is. I was having the same problem and it seems to be the sd card. It HAS to be the Samsung sd card. When i took my phone back they gave me a new one and it had the Samsung sd card inside when i checked it. It also solves the HD video problem too. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. You swapped your phone out, and they gave you a different SD card? Is the new card Samsung brand also?

I think he means when they switched it out, they gave him a Class 4 sd. The original Charges came with a Class 2 card, and at some point they switched to shipping them with a 4.

Ah. Well my Charge shipped with a Class 4 Sandisk. So that's not the solution.

My wife just got hers and it's stock and has this issue. Stock card. She hasn't had me root it yet. Would a cache wipe work?

The new phone they gave me had a Samsung SD card in it. The old one had a sandisk class 4. The only one that will work is the Samsung SD card not the sandisk class 2 or 4. Hope this helps.

That makes no sense. Hers is Samsung class 2, not sandisk.

All I'm saying is that ever since I went from the sandisk class 4 to the samsung I can use the flash as many times as I want without the phone crashing and I can also record video in 720p without it crashing.

Bump.
There is an extensive thread about this on the Verizon forums, with no valid solution being proposed. Some are arguing that its a defective battery, which would make sense.
I'm at the end of my rope with this problem. If this thing locks up one more time when I'm trying to get a shot of my kids, I'm going to be looking at a warranty replacement.

[Q] HELP!!: My Phone Bricked Itself!!

Hi all,
As the title says :'( I flashed the new Android Revolution HD 3.6.2 ROM (updated from 3.6.0) and the recommended radio yesterday. Everything went fine and the phone was smooth as ever.
However, while I was playing robo defence today (played for about 5 mins) the phone suddenly shut down, rebooted itself to the startup screen (HTC Logo on a white screen) then when to a black screen and then repeated the process. This happened about 5 times after which I pulled the battery and then tried to restart the phone.
Now the phone won't power on at all!
- Nothing happens when I press the power button.
- Tried vol + power: nothing.
- Took the battery out, waited 20min, tried the above again: nothing
- Plugged it into my pc: nothing i.e. no LED light either
- Plugged it into a wall charger: nothing i.e. no LED light either
What I don't understand is how come my phone has died when I was not in the middle of flashing anything? Has my phone actually bricked itself?
any help would really be appreciated!
Thanks
Is there anything I can do via adb? (I don't know how to use it that well)

Keep trying to boot into vol+down and power
Leave phone on charger and try the button combo that happened with my mytouch when I had one and that worked.

Remove SD card, boot in recovery, clear cache / dalvik.
If you can boot of cource.

No I can't boot at all. Tried booting without the SD card and no luck.
Is it even possible from for a phone to brick itself? Because after I flashed the ROM everything worked fine. It was only when I was playing a game that it died.
Could it be a battery problem? It would explain why no charging light is showing up

charge it via the original charger, hold on for a little while and try booting it up
i've seen it happen to mine once, i panicked just like you.

Before I s-off'ed or rooted I had this happen to my phone. It took a battery pull and then a long hold of the power button to get it to boot. I freaked thinking it was a dud (I had just gotten the phone).
If nothing works, it may be a hardware failure that had nothing to do with rooting. I would go for a warranty exchange. If YOU cannot get it to boot, neither will they without re-flashing the phone the hardcore way. (I believe its called a JTAG?). They will never know you rooted. They will just try a quick boot, see it doesnt, and then open it up to re-flash the thing via factory methods.

Would have to say its prob an fault with the handset as i am running the same setup as you and also playing robo defence and i play it for about 45 mins at a time with no issues at all .

LOL...robo defence love! Thinking about it...it could be a handset issue. When I use the play robo defence on ARHD 3.6.0 ROM the phone would always die or go into a boot loop. But now its just dead.

Any news?

would it be ground problem? check all the contact points hope it'll help

Just to update you guys:
I tried everything that has been suggested on this thread and had no luck.
I've sent off my phone to HTC today to hopefully get it fixed. we'll see how it turns out. They said it should be done and on the way back in 7 days. Will post if I get new info or updates

Installing the same Rom I had the same issue. New phone is on the way so I thought what harm could it do now. I tried everything u did. What worked was pulling battery out plug the wall charger in and then hold the power and vol down button then slip in battery and it went into recovery . I tried a reg reboot and nothing. So I pulled sd card out and put into another phone then downloaded another Rom. Put sd card back in shot phone and got back into recovery and flashed a diff Rom and it worked. The phone over heating is bad tho so will leave it be till New phone comes in.

I've had the no boot problem after messing with my partition tables, took it to my carrier, and they fixed it. Hopefully, your phone is so messed up that they can't read that it's been rooted (or hope that they don't care)

Did you install any Kernels with GPU Overclocking for example? Or was it only the normal ROM?

What recovery are you using?

No I didn't. Just stock ROM and the standard kernel that came with it. No overclocking either. I mentioned this before - i use to have boot loops every time i played robo defence - even with ARHD 3.5.x. so I reckon it was a hardware issue that eventually kicked the bucket when I moved to 3.6

My Phone Lives!
Hi guys,
Just to update everyone: I got my phone back yesterday and it's working again!!
Although it has been returned to stock again. According to the letter that came with my phone I think I've got a new main board. This is what it says:
Parts Replaced: PCBA-Main Board with SKU_ID, HTC Global, QSD8260 UMT
Anyone know what it means for sure?
I guess there is hope if a phone bricks itself entirely! and HTC didn't even bother asking any questions i.e. if I rooted my phone or anything. All they asked me was did I try to charge the phone via the main charger, did I take the battery out etc.

Good for you dude. I'm happy it worked out fine for you! And thanks for the update, good to know how they handle things over there.

[Q] my inspire may be dying

As of a few days ago, my inspire has learned a new trick.
but before I explain what is going on, heres the situation im in.
Ive Been running Icecoldsandwich for about a month now with some random UI/hot reboots here and there which is to be expected, no big deal.
however as of about 3 days ago, my inspire started to fully reboot from the white HTC screen, Werid, but **** happens so i ignored it.
Now it is doing this about every half hour,no matter what, i dont even have to touch the damn thing and it does this. Im Beginning to think its a hardware issue.
Heres what Ive tried so far
-battery pull (nothing)
-was using BLN which uses more power in standby so i upped voltages a bit (nothing)
-disabled BLN (nothing)
-disabled/enabled start up tweaks (getting desperate)
- restored an old backup of black ice which never had this issue ( STILL REBOOTED WTFF)
-some other stuff that i cant remember
Now i have an PD98IMG.zip on my sd card which was made when i originally rooted my phone and am about to restore that, but I have a feeling that wont help.
The only thing i can think of is that its a hardware issue, because after restoring that backup this issue shouldve disappeared and Im really at my wits end. SO before i throw the damn thing across the room and smash it, can anyone PLEASE help me out.
Im not new to the whole rooting game so dont treat me like a noob, ive been messing with this phone for a while now and this is the first time ive had an issue like this, which seriously appeared out of nowhere for no reason. Ive been on Ice cold sandwich for over a month now and this just started.
Thanks for any help/advice, If anyone has encountered this issue please contact me
PS: sorry to make a thread about this but ive searched both inspire &desire hd forums and came up empty handed.

You didn't mention anything about your micro sd card. Will it boot without the card inserted or using a different card freshly formatted? Corrupt cards or cards that are almost full can cause hair pulling issues.

Hmmmmm. That's a very good point you bring up there. My cards got over a gig left on it but hasn't been formatted since I rooted the phone.
I suppose I'll try that though since im out of options.
since I had to make it a "goldcard" will there be anything I need to do after I format it to make it work correctly?
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

Also, it does boot without an SD card, I'll see if it turns off with it out
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

Does not matter if it is a gold card. Will not affect anything. If your phone does not reboot with the card out then most likely it is going bad, has corrupt files, has apps or widgets moved to it that really should have been left on the phone. Or you used a backup app to restore system files that may be causing issues.
If having the card out allows your phone to run without reboots I would format that card, wipe that phone, reinstall a ROM and start clean and fresh.

This behavior could also be caused by a bad battery. Are you still using the original? A lot of them were pretty crappy.

well It still reboots with no sd card in it so I suppose it isn't that.
As for the battery, it is the original and that would make a lot of sense cause I leave it on the charger a lot.
my sister has the same phone so ill have to swap batteries and see if that makes a difference
thanks for the advice guys, I'm months from an upgrade so I really need to get to the bottom of this.
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

If it does turn out to be the battery, I would recommend an Anker brand replacement. They are pretty good and cheaper than the Seidio ones.

well I can rule out the battery cause I switched them and it continues to reboot.
I'm beginning to think it's the radio because it doesn't seem to reboot in airplane mode and it seems to reboot more when I'm driving, perhaps when switching towers.
I'll experiment with a few different ones and see what I get
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

okay everyone well its been some time now & I am still dealing with the same BS.
It has recently come to my attention that im not the only one dealing with this problem so I want to refresh this thread & perhaps get some new advice & options.
heres where I stand:
ive tried everything from roms-radios-batteries - everything in between. adjusted voltages, & every single setting available.
What ive found so far is that this issue is almost definitely signal related, when in airplane mode my phone Does not reboot.
ive also been advised that removing the sim card stops the reboots as well.
ALSO, I turned off 3g/4G for a few hours with only 1 reboot.
however I feel that was due to a different reason cause normally my phone reboots at least once every hour if not more.
im losing my mind & am about to smash this POS if I cant figure something out.
Is it possible its ATT related?
Should I return to stock? (unroot) -(really wanna avoid that)
WTFF. please, someone help! im going nuts!
Again any advice would Def be appreciated, & if anyone else has this problem please chime in & state your position.
sorry for the long post, (trying to be thorough)
& Thanks in advance

Phone acting stooopid.

Ok, so my phone is just not wanting to work. One day it just started to randomly reboot. I was thinking since it was around 100 degrees in my house, my phone was over heating. Then it would go from random hard reboots, to not turning on at all. It would even happen in recovery, and my phone can rarely flash a rom now. I know this is because some really stupid reason. I feel like my battery comes loose, or something XO Any help is good help =D

Ok, so my phone was acting dumb. I was finally able to get it to boot, but knock on wood *knocks on wall*. I had to flash to stock (Still S-Off). Now I'm booted and running fine. I have no idea why. :T Puzzles me, also I'm tired as hell. So this might be very random.
I couldn't get my phone to stay on for more than 10 minutes. Sometimes it just wouldn't. Boot. I was not able to get Roms to flash (status 0).
So I (re)flashed CWM 5.5, and that seemed to help. Then I was only able to use backups.
Then I just couldn't get my phone to work :T
So I flash the update in the Hboot to get back to stock.
1st it booted fine. But I rebooted to Hboot, and got funky issues (would not boot past bootanimation)
Flash Hboot update twice.
Then I did two factory resets in Hboot.
Then I got my phone working. I've been slowly typing this over 1 1/2 30 Rock episodes. No reboots :T Should I unlock and get CWM on here? I feel like my issue was not being on a stock kernel. Plus on stock I'm getting crazy battery life.
I'll see how my night charge goes. Hopefully she stays booted :d

I just got a replacement phone about a month and half ago. The only Rom it stays stable with is the stock Rom. That makes a lot of sense tho', I was thinking my phone couldn't handle a UV. My phones running perfectly (and faster, and smoother than ever). I'm going to try unlocking it again, and reflashing the recovery. See how far that takes me.

Ok, so I unlocked my bootloader (No recovery). It was having trouble booting. Wouldn't boot with the USB plugged in. But I'm still 100% stock (S-Off, Unlocked). I'm going to run stock for 2 hours, and see if I get reboots.

So my phone acts up on custom kernels, that's what I'm seeing.

So my phone starts acting up when the battery is below 15%, and not running a stock kernel. :T

[Q] Blaze 4G battery charge indicator WAY off

My phone ( Blaze 4 G 4.04 ) only charges to 75% . Tried every charger imaginable and Ive changed batteries with new, calibrated as best as I can with not 100% showing etc. My problem is that the 75% is actually 100% charged. I pull the battery out and put it in my wife or sons identical Blaze 4G and it shows 100% on their phones. If I charge a battery to 100% in their phones and put it in mine it shows 75% . Battery fresh off the standalone charger shows 75% . I havent found a way to change the calibration of the meter and Ive tried ALL the battery calibrator apps. The problem is that when the battery discharges towards the low range I get the warnings etc even though the battery is actually still half charged. Ive tried everything and no calibrator apps do a damned thing to the meter itself. I wiped the phone with the factory reset this morning and still 75% after the phones been on the charger all day.
Any ideas ? I dont really want to flash a custom ROM as I use the wifi calling feature and no one seems to have figured out how to incorporate that into the custom ROM's out there plus the external SD card ID seems to get lost with the Blaze custom ROM's too.

What do you mean by the external card SD card ID? The external cards works flawlessly in the custom roms. And that's very rude saying, "no one seems to have figured out how to incorporate that (wifi calling) into the custom ROM's," The devs have lots of things into their hands, if you need it so much why don't you figure it out?

The only way to actually wipe the battery stats is with cwm. You can flash cwm with Odin and not touch the rom. Also custom roms based off stock ics have working wifi calling.
But I think the issue may be with your phone, so wiping battery stats/flashing a rom will probably not work, I have seen this on a different devices.

Ive flashed half a dozen ROM's on this phone, my sons phone and my wifes phone. None of them gave normal access to the external SD card. I could play music off them and movies etc but none of the file access programs would open the SD card file directory. Ive seen other people complain about that too. .Ended up going back to the factory ROM to be able to have normal external SD access and to be able to use the wifi calling.
And no, no one has developed a ROM that can use the wifi calling feature. Seems like one of the first things that would get cloned but whatever. I'm just a mechanical engineer not a software developer so writing my own code is beside my pay grade. Only reason I bought these phones in the first place was the integral wifi calling. Not the greatest phones either. My sons drops wifi after 15 minutes every time. Mine won't show a full charge on a full charge and then wigs out at the bottom of its charge cycle. I'll be using them in the trap launcher in 11 months once the contract is up. Pull.

Could you recommend a stable ROM that has the working wifi calling feature? None that I have tried would allow for wifi calling. I gave up trying a few months ago when the factory ICS came out and my CWM got blown away by Kies. Of course my new laptop is windows 8 which isnt playing well with Odin. Gives me a reason to boot my son of my old win 7 desktop. He spends too much time on those computer games anyway.

Well, that didnt work. The meters stuck at 77% yet actually fully charged. I do like the tethering and hot spot capabilities of the new ROM though.

Ok I suggest flashing a jellybean rom. And for the external sd card issue you've had it's under storage and sdcard1. Try it it's going to work. It's not inside external sd in sd card. I recommend using root explorer going storage/sdcard1

No go on the jelly bean. Same thing. Charges to 75 % or so and the battery dies completely within 4-5 hours. Called up T-mobile and I'm 1 day past the warranty period. Oh joy.

As far as charging, the factory ICS ROM was working fine until a few weeks ago. My wife and sons blazes work fine with the factory ICS ROM.

The external and internal sdcards work in every JB ROM that's currently available on xda for the blaze. The reason you can't find them is user error, not the ROM. Solid Explorer makes it really easy, but if you just want the file path to both its /mnt/sdcard and /mnt/external_sd
Try 'su cd /mnt' and then 'ls' in the terminal emulator or with adb shell and they'll show up. Then you just have to learn how to use your file explorer software of choice.

My phone ( Blaze 4 G 4.04 ) only charges to 75% . Tried every charger imaginable and Ive changed batteries with new, calibrated as best as I can with not 100% showing etc. My problem is that the 75% is actually 100% charged. I pull the battery out and put it in my wife or sons identical Blaze 4G and it shows 100% on their phones. If I charge a battery to 100% in their phones and put it in mine it shows 75% . Battery fresh off the standalone charger shows 75% . I havent found a way to change the calibration of the meter and Ive tried ALL the battery calibrator apps. The problem is that when the battery discharges towards the low range I get the warnings etc even though the battery is actually still half charged. Ive tried everything and no calibrator apps do a damned thing to the meter itself. I wiped the phone with the factory reset this morning and still 75% after the phones been on the charger all day.

Did you ever find a solutions (or explanation) for this? I"m having the exact same problem, and have tried rrrrvrything to fix it. Infuriating. Mine stops at either 20% or 75%.

Nope. Tried every operating system under the sun and every sort of reset method there is. Different batteries, chargers etc. Nothing worked. Boat anchor. Sporting a S4 now.

It is the battery? Did you try changing it?

changed everything a few times including the battery. Most it will get out of any battery under any condition is about 3 hours. Thats with zero programs running and no use or screen activation. Most any battery will charge to is 75% and they start dropping like a stone once charged. Right now it just stays on the charger as my garage music player.
