[Q] Sensation Freezes when launching camera app - HTC Sensation

I've seen this asked before but with no resolution but I was hoping someone could help.
Whenever I attempt to launch the camera app, my entire screen goes black (but still back lit) and sometimes even will vibrate the phone when I touch keys. At this point I have to pull the battery out, as the phone no longer responds to anything.
I snagged a LogCat of when it happens and have (what I hope is) the relevant part of it. If anyone can be of any help, please let me know.
I can't post the link to the logcat here (I'm still under the post limit for outside links), so I an always PM it to you.
Oh and I'm running Bruce2728's nightlies of CM10, just in case (but this was happening when the phone was on the stable CM9 build too).

Hi,
Try loading a Sense ROM on your phone and see if it still happens.
If it does,you may well have an hardware problem.

Ok, I'll give it a shot and see. Any idea that if the camera is broke, I can replace it with parts I get off eBay?

Yes you can likely get parts, but do try another Rom I'm running paranoid Android and the camera is working I can confirm this. Give this a try see if it works for you.

I'm going to say it's hardware. I just flashed Paranoid Android, launched the camera app and the exact same thing happens. What a shame really. Thanks for the help everyone

Hi,
Did you try a Sense ROM?
Take a look at ARHD

My Screen keeps turning on by itself!

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
Are you sure your not getting notifications??or if any app is causing it (alerts?)?

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.

Hey drowning... You may want to double check your rom. XD I got no capacitive buttons right now. I can fix myself, but others may not understand. But wifi working is absolutely beautiful.
Nice work ill wait though till it gets most bugs ironed out
Signatures are fancy.
I'll be helping with it until I get my Inspire. No ETA on that though.

I think I may have a few HW fixes, but not sure yet. Could be a boot loop. Lets find out!
Btw to all who use this: When you hit shutdown, but your going into HBOOT for Recovery, make sure to take the battery out before you try. It tends to try to Hot Restart itself when you dont take the battery out.
mine shutsdown fine
i have hibernate mode off though

That could be why! No idea how to nail it, but not worried about it. Gotta worry about this HW. Which I just got stuck at splash screen with. Stuck on Flushing Chain part. Gonna try a complete wipe. Nope. That didn't work either. Okkayyyyy... What the heck did I change!

Yeah! I noticed that. Another way to get around that without taking the battery out is to uncheck the Fastboot under the Power settings.
Disk drive mounting works for me. No idea about you guys.

[Q] Gtalk video FC on all roms

I have been installing various roms on my brothers nexus s 4g and I am having trouble finding one with working video chat in Gtalk. I found one rom that I could get video working on but it wasnt full screen and he said it was on his stock rom so he was hoping to keep it that way. Every other rom I have tried including this one just force close when you click to initiate a video chat with someone. Any help is greatly appriciated and thanks a ton for all of your hard work!

try going to the phones main settings, applications, manage apps, all, talk.. then clear its data. then either open your terminal emulator and type..
su(press enter)
fix_permissions(press enter)
or boot into recovery and fix permissions there.

Get the latest gapps and flash over. Should fix it.

I got the newest gapps and it is indeed working now so thank you very much for the help in that department. However, when you make a video the person you are watching is in a small window and on the stock rom it was full screen, Is it possible to get that to work as well?

Hmm... not sure. Did you wipe dalvik and cache after flashing gapps? You might want to do it again if you didn't. I've never seen the screens opposite to what they should be.

I can't remember if I did or not so I'll have him give that I shot. Just the video of the person you are talking to is not full screen, the window that shows you is normal... If that makes any sense. Thanks for the help ill report how it goes

That would Hapsburg if the person is using a wideangle cam. It would also be the same as turning your phone 90 degrees.

Been playing with it for a day. I really like it. I can temporarily live without the data as I am mostly in a wifi spot and I have my Xoom with me. But for some reason, my ringtone does not work on incoming calls. Everything else that I care about works well.

This is one of the bug with ICS rom, also vibration is toooo low, it's another bug.
There are going to be a lot of bugs, the rom is in a pre-alpha stage. He just released it so we can enjoy what work has been done and show that there is work being done. If the rom gets more functional with data/camera/ect.. I'm sure the bugs will start being worked out. But don't hope for any bugs to be worked out anytime soon

It's just odd that only one other person in thread in the development forum mentioned this issue. I had thought that my situation was unique. Oh well, I am sure that it will worked out eventually.

jt has opened an official thread on rootzwiki and it's specifically listed as a known issue.
hm.. can't seem to get wifi to work on mine. Posted in the other thread juanzr1 (Link to screenshot) shows a screenshot of his baseband showing V.EP4 whereas mine is V.ED1. Not sure if that has anything to do with it as I'm still relatively new. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Your version is way outdated. I don't why you have that, but I suggest you should Odin back to GB EP4, verify the version then flash the JT's latest rom. This should solve your Wifi issue.

If you look in the github, he implemented a "dirty hack" to enable vibration. Don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Earpiece,Bluetooth & Speaker phone... It worked fine then I flashed a JB rom and it went kaput
Hmmm I was gonna say blown speaker but...now I'm not sure. How long has this been going on? Could it be network related (I know kind of a coincidence) if it were me I would try a clean install or new ROM. Maybe downgrade to last OS temporarily to rule out a hardware or network issue. Hope somebody has more info for you.
