[Q] after camera phone wont wake up

Hi,
I have this wierd problem with my sensation. I found out that if i have my camera on and it falls a sleep it wont unlock any more. no ring nothing.buttons glow but a solid black screen. The only way out is a battery pull.
It's with photo camera and video camera mode. no other apps suffer fom this.
I've tried other roms but nothing. I currently run ARHD 3.6.7
I found out on accident but it is realy annoying me now
Any of u with the same problem or ideas?

Yeah, it's bricked kernel. Doesn't matter what version you use, it seems to keep on happening randomly.

Hi,
Go into Bricked Kernel post, there is a .zip file called, CAM-FIX.zip
Flash that, magic will happen =]
Thanks guys, I've all ready flashed an other kernel and it works all fine now.
CAM-FIX.zip on the other hand is only for sense 3.5 and I really prefer sense 3.0
The camfix patch is so the camera can even function in the first place, it does not fix this issue. Without the camfix, if you try to use the camera the screen just goes black and the phone freezes. This issue however is an intermittent one, where sometimes when you exit the camera you get the black screen and freeze. Doesn't happen all the time, but it's definitely the kernel at fault.
To the OP, if in your case it's only happening once the screen times out, you could always use tasker to make it not timeout when using that app?

[Q] Epic 4g w/ Legendary Issues?! Help

Hello... I installed the latest Legendary RC with the included Samauri kernel. I started with a clean wipe. I also installed GO Launcher EX (5x4 on Homescreens).
I LOVE this rom. Very snappy. However, I'm having 2 big issues.
1. The battery indicator has been erratic especially after reboot. It will show 60%, I'll reboot or restart and it will be at 20%. Has anybody else experienced this or is there something I can do to fix it?
2. I had all my home screens setup then when I restart sometimes the screens get messed up. Sometimes I will get repeat widgets and overlapping widgets. I fix it, reboot, and it may or may not get messed up again upon restart. Because it happens on restart I do not know if this is related to the above problem or if there is an incapatibility between GO 5x4 and Legendary?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is my first ROM so I'm a complete noob.
Additionally, A video chat using Google Talk has a green screen for my video (the front camera)
Should I reinstall the ROM? Will that mess up any of my apps or data?
I reinstalled the ROM but I have the same issue with the Gtalk Video being solid green for my front facing camera. Any ideas?
Bueller? Bueller?
Let me ask a different question about the front facing camera not working. Is it definitely a ROM issue? I installed a different kernel and that didn't make any difference.
Should I be asking this in a different location?

[Q] Camera flash not working but flashlight apps work

I have a strange problem that I can't seem to find an answer for. I have an SGH-I727R rooted with stock ICS ROM. I don't know when this started happening so I'm not sure what triggered it, but the flash on my camera doesn't work.
My LED works because my flashlight app works, and when I go to take a picture in the dark, the camera will turn on the light for auto-focus, but when I go to actually take the picture, the light turns off but doesn't flash for the picture. I've tried 4 camera apps and they all do the exact same thing.
Things I've tried so far:
- I thought it had something to do with settings on my flashlight app (shaking the phone to turn on the flashlight) so I wiped all data and uninstalled it
- turning off the phone and pulling the battery
- used Titanium Backup to reloaded the last backup of the stock camera
Because the light works, it's not hardware. There must be a file missing that triggers the flash mode for the LED or something. Could reloading the stock ROM fix this problem? It's really annoying not being able to take pictures in low light. Again, the light works during auto-focus, but doesn't actually flash for the picture. If anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Camera artifact with IcySNAP

Hi! It's the first time to use a custom rom and so far most things work fine except for the camera that shows a weird black artifact in the middle.
Any solution?
Don't overclock phone. Try re flashing if it doesn't help.

[Q] Weird camera flash issue

I usually don't take pictures with flash, but today I noticed that the flash doesn't work properly in the camera app. When I try to take a picture, the the flash lights up while the camera is focusing, but when the actual picture is being taken it remains off, resulting into a very dark picture. I am running stock 4.4.4 + elementalx kernel. Has anyone else noticed something similiar and have any idea how to fix this?
