Greetings all
this past weekend i found myself in a situation where i needed to take some pictures, my phone had been on all day so my battery was getting low. i was able to snap a few images till i got a Low Battery warning on the screen and the camera just went off.. looking at the gauge i still had about 10 -15% battery life. The phone actually ended up working fine for another hour or so before i got the critical batt warning., but every time i tried to reopen the camera app all i got was the warning and the camera would not work.. It was daylight so i didn't use the flash.
Is there a work around to get rid of that annoying warning for the camera? i missed a first moment, i would like to avoid that in the future.. thanks in advance

No problem. That post is a little hard to find, especially from the mobile app.

From the posts I read it doesn't work for any of the GB roms so unles you're still on froyo/EE4 roms it won't work.
I hope they get this working on GB. I hate not being able to use my camera once you get to 15%. Lost a lot of photo ops at a concert last night because of it.

Seconded, does anyone know of a working GB camera apk with the power button shutter and removed low batt warn features?

Doesn't exist unfortunately.
I miss the hell out of using the power button shutter feature but I don't think I want to go back to EE4 just to regain that feature.

Having done a search & a bit of a google it seems the default HTC camera is prone to crashing on other devices, it's happening on my new UK voda sensation.
The camera works for a few minutes, then crashes to a black screen. If I clicked it again the screen brightens but the camera app does not run. A reboot seemed to fix this the first few times, now even after a reboot the camera app will not run.
Anybody got any ideas on how to fix this, if at all?
Same,its starting to get really annoying!

Strange, I know a lot of people experience this issue but the camera app has never crashed on me even once. It's very stable from what I can see. I've taken lots of photos and 1080p videos too.

Is geotagging an option? Do you have it turned on? If so, try turning it off. Just a thought.

Nice one! That seems to have done the trick, certainly hasn't crashed again since turning off geotagging. Thanks for the good tip.
I hope this phone gets unlocked soon, the voda rom is pretty good so far but I doesn't feel like half the phone it could be with the right tweaking and optimisation.

Cool! Just a wild guess. I'll try to remember this if I have the problem.
Actually that brings up another possible issue. Have you used GPS much? I'd be interested if that's working ok. Good GPS is one of my key requirements. Thanks.

I've got geotagging turned off, have had all along. Looks like there's a temporary fix then!
I haven't used GPS much. I have a little and it does work, but I will try to test it a bit this week, see how long the signal holds up on a journey, that sort of thing.
I'll let you know ;o)
when i have my phone locked and im not even touching it, every few minutes the screen will turn on and sit there for around 30 seconds then will turn back on a few mins later, this is very annoying and im sure uses a ton of battery over the course of a day, im running leedroid 3.1.2 and it used to do it on 3.1.1 so idk if its rom related

Check for any stray apps. Install "Battery history for GB" app from market and check for apps that are using "wake lock" excessively.
I had a similar problem with my inspire. It seemed to be caused by a faulty usb cable. After I plugged my phone into my car charger it started working fine.
I have an Inspire 4G with the same problem. I doubt that it is an app, because I changed the rom 3 times so far. And with every one of them, the problem persists. Anyway, i'm trying the Battery log now.

Do you have any apps that you set up profiles for, i.e. Llama? They can be buggy sometimes with the screen commands.
I have the same problem. Going to have to waste my upgrade in august for a new inspire. I am trying battery history for gb now. IF anyone has any ideas, please lets us know. This is absolutely ridicolous.

annoying screen randomly turning on
Hey I've been having the same issue, my SGS I9000 international version keeps turning the screen on by itself randomly, I've flashed my phone back to stock Eclair 2.1 and then I went to Froyo, Cyannogen mode 7, ICS rom which I forgot the name of it, and then I'm running on the new value pack now which is 2.3.6XXJW4 however nothing has solved this damn problem, my screen keeps turning on and it's killing my battery, help please..!! I've tried to see if the sensor is not working, however I believe it's something else.. please let me know if someone has fix for this..!
I'm running LeeDroid v5.1.1 and haven't experienced this yet. I've been running it close to 2 weeks now with no real issues. Just an occasional lag spike on wake up.

yeah man thats sucks the first thing i did its to see if i have the lg cam on gb but its not there
Wait, is there no camera at all or is it just that the LG camera app is not there? This may make me think twice about installing the update.

I registered just to ask this question, but do you mean that if I updated with the new Gingerbread update and did a factory reset then the LG Camera would be there?

No there is NO LG Camera app. Even after you do factory reset.
If some one would make a backup of the camera app and then post the apk that would be great

It really frosts my rear when I go to the T-mobile website and I see they are showing the new Mytouch 4g Slide with the "most advanced camera on any smartphone." And here I am with arguably the worst camera available on any smartphone (the AOSP GB camera, not the LG froyo camera).
I'm going to keep my fingers crossed and hope that they have something in the works to provide us with the proper camera some point in the not-too-far future.
Get camera 360 from the market
Sent from a guy living in a van down by the river
I am waiting for the jury on this, is there a way to keep the phone LG photo app.....or put it back....after doing the GB update.
One guy said it comes back after a hard reset after the update....but others say that is a no go.
I want to avoid buying an app for the camera function, which I will need to do if its going to be just the stock Android.
Seems LG could release an update to replace it....no?
Right now the consensus seems to be if you do the GB update you lose the LG camera app, and it does not come back by doing hard resets.
TIA
I actulice and I still see the camera application.
Yes, you lose the LG camera application; that doesn't mean that there is no camera application. It's just not the one that came stock with the phone, and it's not as nice. For example, there's no "switch camera" button -- you can only take photos and videos with the rear-facing camera, not the front-facing camera.
I'm not a very big user of the camera, so I imagine this one will probably be sufficient for my needs until the final update comes out.

I wouldn't count on LG releasing an update for that. They didn't even ever release an update to fix the small email signature bug, so I doubt they'll get around to a whole camera app.
The only good thing that comes out of this is the stock Android camera does 128K audio vs. the 64K audio of the LG camera. Oh, and we can finally keep the geolocation turned on instead of needing to manually turn it on every time. Same maximum qualities otherwise, but almost no control over anything else and the zoom is not controlled with the volume controls.
if you dont like it and if it's possible please phandroid back to what you were using before. we finally get SOMETHING, proof of LIFE on this thing so please...quit your *****ing all will be well. lg does seem to intend to right their wrong.
I will be avoiding threads with titles such as this one like the plague because although I was one to be disgruntled too over this phone I at least can recognize progress when I see it

Oops, my bad; that mountain icon in the lower left is the "switch camera" button. That graphic just didn't communicate to me at all; I assumed it was the control for "focus mode" or some such. Sorry for the noise.
anyone know how to make the gb camera screen lighter? mine is so dark. I do love the update and I have had no problems what so ever. But the dark camera screen.

i am new to xda but whatever basic questions i tried after googling, are directing to this forum.
i have a problem with my htc , it is getting restart if camera is opened or if i call a number.or just that if it is used any app.
battery charging is taking 4-5 hours via data cable.
if i play videos battery is lasting just for 1 hours
what maybe the cause? is it a repairable fault.
plz help guys

Are you rooted? If so what ROM? If you are not rooted that sounds very much like a dying battery.

rooted after a long sturggle since it was updated to 3.20
now after rooting i tried many roms. but problem was getting increased.
after around 10 roms i tried GizRoot_v_2::
my phone is breathing a bit . just a bit better so now i am sure that this is a os related problem.
i have taken 2-3 pics but it still restarts for sure. just the difference is that it is able to take few pics now.
so can any one recommend a new rom which is light enough and this problem is expected to be resolved in that rom?.

Hi All,
I have had my AT&T Infuse for 2 1/2 years and love it. The display is brighter and clearer for my aging eyes than any other new upgrade I've tried and then returned. I'm trying the LG G2 right now but think I will return that one also.
So, Is there a known issue with the video function on camera freezing every time, the picture function often freezing to whole phone and needing a restart, and now the Voice recorder is refusing to work also. Is there a fix without rooting it?
Thanks in advance... Newer and fancier does not seem to bring a clear enough display for me. The Infuse is the best ....when it works.
Are you using a custom ROM?

I am using Zeam Launcher if that makes any difference. And I do have Alogcat on here but I don't have the brain power to sort out the fatal errors. I will copy the log using 'camera' as a filter and post it here in a few hours. Thanks....
