[Q] Anyone having issues where the Charge Screen turns black and freezes after photo?

My Droid Charge is freezing randomly when I take a picture with it. After hitting the shutter button the screen goes black and unresponsive. I have to pull the battery in order to restart the phone.
Is anyone else having this issue?
EDIT:
Yes, I am stock. Running Widget Locker and Launcher Pro.

More infomation about your setup: Are you stock? If not what ROM and kernel? Are you undervolting?

similar issue
I have a similar issues sometimes with games and random apps on my stock rom. For the camera though I would start by unchecking the review option under settings and see if that helps at all.

Yes I am stock. Thank you.

This happens to me as well. Very random. I have only noticed it happening when I had the LED flash on. This happened to me while I was on imnut's debloated ee4 rom and humble 1.2

Yes, I have had this happen. I am currently running the stock ROM with the PBJ voodoo kernel. I have also had this happen when running completely stock.

I thought that this may have been a ROM issue but since you guys are having similar problems while stock, it appears to be an issue with our phones. We may want to report these problems to VZ/Samsung for a possible fix.

Going through the VZ forums, I see that this is actually a common issue.
I suggest that anyone else who is having this problem voices their concerns on their support site as well

[Q] Restarting

So I've had the phone for about 3 weeks now and never had the restarting problem but now it's done it twice in the past 24 hours. Anyone know why it's doing it and how to fix it?

no one???? it's done it more again

Completely stock, haven't rooted my phone yet. The phone every time has just been sitting on my desk or I'll be holding it doing nothing. I always close everything after I use it using the task manager. Let me know if you need any other info, and thanks.

hmm if its completely stock I couldn't say why, but maybe someone with more experience than me could chime in... as for a fix, perhaps if you backed everything up first, then a factory reset might do the trick

I'd look at any apps you recently installed. My Fascinate would reboot quite a bit at times for no reason, it could be a Samsung glitch.

What I tell my customers to do is;
-check that there isn't any software updates
-pull the battery and wait 30 sec. I know it is the generic answer but it fixes most problems, it just like a computer if it not working right, restart. (Laptops mainly in pulling the battery.)
-or factory/data reset. It often will fix the issue but there are the few cases where it will not solve the problem. (and you will lose all of your stuff on your phone, contacts are backed up by Google or backup asst.)
-lastly, root it!!! no problems on my GummyCharged, v1.5, 2.3.4 (I don't tell my customer this choice)

Yeah I'm going to root soon. I just keep on reading these forums everyday so I can hopefully prepare for rooting with no issues.

With all the great info you provided I am sure someone will be able to help

well i read earlier that someone had problems with the android.process.media has stopped... thats the problem about after a minute of it pooping up my phone just resets. no need to be a **** about it

Without info you aren't going to get any good help. A rebooting phone could be caused by many issues. So far you have given us an error. This is still very little to go on. And now since you resorted to name calling I doubt you will get much help.

That error could be cause by no less then 100 different things. Welcome to a development site. You have to provide all the needed info before we can help. With the info you gave me I would suggest to flash to a stock rom and stay there until you understand a little bit more about what your doing. I see no rom, radio, ril, mods, recovery, it flashing info at all.

That's what i was thinking, but i was accused of flaming by a guy in the Captivate forums today, so i bit my tongue

i just flashed the absolution rom and it again crashed on me and i did wipe the cache and system before installing the custom rom.

and it reboots in the middle of typing or on standby >.< it is quite irritating to be honest

Rebooting
This is caused with a bad flash, radio/ril mismatch, and other programs that have been reinstalled from a backup. I would also suggest re-flashing to a stock rom, and see if it still does it, and if not I would look at getting a new rom. You also can reinstall the one you are running and then add the apps back one at a time to see if it is generated by them. Also I suggest going back to the dev thread and make sure you have the correct radio-ril combo. Search-Research and you will find the root cause.

The absolution Rom was having some issues with battery and themes tweaks in the absolution tools. If you happened to change any of those that is probably the problem.

Random Reboot
well instead of starting a new thread I'll tap onto this one. I am also experiencing random reboots. My phone will reboot regardless if you are using it or not.The reboots can be as far apart as a couple of days or as frequent as 4 times a day. I am running a stock Gingerbread OS.(AT&T) The phone is not rooted. The phone is as stock as possible. The only apps on the phone are the ones that are pre-loaded by AT&T. I have changed the battery with a new OEM HTC battery. I replaced the SD card. I have also replaced the battery door.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Its the battery. I had mine reboot at 96% and 48%. Replace the battery.

[Q] wifi seems to be stuck

My wifi was working fine before but yesterday I tried getting on wifi and the position seems to be stuck. It seems like it was to connect but it wont connect, i leave my phone to try and connect for many hours and it doesnt. I go to mysettings to try and turn the wifi position to off and i cant. Ive tried restarting and taking the battery out and nothing helps. I got my wifi to turn off, and after a few hours without trying to get on wifi i tried connecting and its back to what it has been doing, like in a stuck position. I got it to go off by turning the phone off completly for a few hours. Any help is well appreciated. Thank you in advance. I tried attaching a picture to better explain this, but for some reason I cant even attach a file.

What rom are you on?

I've been having weird WiFi issues recently too. I'm stock. I disabled the ATT Smart WiFi but that doesn't seem to fix things. Tried one of the WiFi applications to reconnect when it detects the failure but that works only about 99% of the time.

My wifi doesnt even connect now, it shows that its trying to connect but it wont. The wifi icon doesnt go to full green, it stays on a transparent green, like it wants to connect but wont.

If it was me I'd flash the stock from and get it back to the way it used to be. But if you're on stock now and haven't done any flashing its going to take a lot of learning on your part. You are going to have to learn to use odin and where to get the stock rom. Not sure if you're up for that.

If you both are on stock call ATT. They will be more then happy to help you. With your level of knowledge that is your best course of action. They will most likely tell you to factory reset your phone. You will loose all your apps and settings. Tell them you want to back that up first. They should be able to help you from there.

Guess this is what i will have to do, i just dont no if something is wrong with my phone. Thank you for your help

Hey guys,
I've been using this phone (skyrocket ROGERS version) and have had this problem ever since I "upgraded" to ICS; and I've had so many problems with this phone! I've just learned to accept that my WiFi will never work consistently enough for me to use it so I just always use my data plan (luckily I've got a lot of data).
THINGS I HAVE TRIED
Cm 10 stable
Cm 10 nightly
Cm 9 stable
Miui
Flashing stock ICS
Flashing stock Jb
Things I haven't tried
Flashing stock gingerbread (because this was the only time my WiFi worked consistently, but why go back to gingerbread)
If anybody has ANY insight on this it would be very helpful
I guess I should also mention that I've flashed everyone of these ROMs that I listed at least 3-5 times just to ensure it wasn't just a bad flash.

LTE turning itself off? [updated]

This is a problem I've had persistently, I'm only just now getting annoyed enough to make a post about it.
When I first got my Nexus, everything was fine and dandy. Around the end of December though, I had this weird problem where Data turns itself off after about three seconds. I can turn it back on and let it turn off again and fight with it to solve the issue, and eventually it will stop and stay on. I figured I'd give the Cyanogenmod build (at the time) a try, and that fixed it, but had it's own problems (namely bluetooth being very horribad) so I swapped back to stock and sure enough, the problem returned. I don't recall if I did a nandroid restore or a fresh install and a titanium backup of my apps at first because I did try both, neither fixing the problem.
Nexus 5 16gig black on AT&T, stock ROM, only rooted. Any extra information can be posted upon request.

I installed Paranoid Android, I'll update if I still have the issue.
-[edit+]-
Yes, the issue persists. New info is Paranoid Android v 4.2-BETA1. Obviously, hardware info stayed the same.

It appears it was an issue with Juice Defender. Will update if issue persists.

Try another ROM that maybe AOSP source built, see if problem is persisting. If so, is data weak in your area for ATT and it sounds very possible your device has a hardware issue if other ROMs don't fix this. I'm running Carbon, no issues ATM. I can guarantee the CM issues and your issue are not present. If you try the ROM, problem persists, then device needs to be fixed for hardware I'd suggest.

Sorry I know I didn't mention that in the OP. :v
I'll post back if the issue continues now that Juice Defender is gone.

It appears that was what it was. I have had zero issues since uninstalling it, which makes me sad. I liked Juice Defender, and have been using it on my phones for several years. :c
