[help]g2 always reboot when i open camera

hi, I have just bought a htc g2 magic(TIM). I got a very terrible problem as the title says, it aways reboot itself when I try to use the camera.
I have tried several ROMs, but I still get this problem though other ones told me that it is ok for them.
Is it a hardware problem or software problem or other?
the following the detals of my phone(if any other information you need, please let me know):
SPL info:

RECOVERY info
Build: RA-sappphire-v1.5.2H
really appreciate for any help

Maybe your cam is brokken so when you try to access it you get hit with a FC,

not sure. but not crash every time. if you try it after rebooting, it is ok for a short time.

Have you tried any sense or 2.0/2.1 roms?
They have cam drivers now so give those a go.

thank you for your info. but i am really a newbie here.
i don't understand the sense and rom, could you be so kind to provide me a link or sth.?

You don't say which ROM you are using. There are quite a few Magics that have the reboot problem with the Donut 1.6 ROM, mine included. T-Mobile was replacing them. See this link:

You can flash a 1.5 ROM like I did. The camera works fine but I gave up voice directions in Google Maps and Voice Google search.

thank you. I send my phone back to my provider and let them test it.
I think it will save me a lot of time.

The only resolution is a 1.5 ROM like the one I'm using.

TIM camera reboot
sorry that i pick up so old thread but.
Does anyone found a fix for this problem?
I also have a TIM HTC Magic black with red border and another black HTC magic with silver border.
On TIM's one there is a problem with random reboots when using camera on 2.1 eclair roms (i've tried a lot of roms - random reboot when using camera on all)
With silver magic there is no problem
It looks like the problem is only on TIM magic.. maybe different hardware.
Also, as described above on 1.5 rom (I've tried CursorSense 1.2.6.1 which is cupcake) there is no problem with camera.
is there solution for 2.1 based roms ?

Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general

Same with my Rogers Magic. Only 1.5 roms are okay.
The problem is that Rogers hasn't rolled out a 1.6 or greater ROM. Once they do I can complain, but before that they'll say that I hacked it and it's my fault.
There's a ticket for this issue with cyanogenmod, have a look here: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=792

So let's get this straight. You installed a NIGHTLY (in other words an EXPERIMENTAL rom meant only for TESTING) and you are wondering why you are having issues?
Stick with the stable (released) roms if you want your phone to work right.
Also, I'm moving this to General because your questions has nothing to do with DEVELOPING.

[Q] Just rooted and which ROM to try?

All,
Finally decided to root yesterday and have been monitoring the ROM's in the development section. I'm torn between the CyanogenMod and Iced Glacier. From what I'm reading the CyanogenMod is still a RC and not official yet and Iced Glacier is still using the sense interface.
I use this phone for work ie Touchdown and need something super stable that won't crash on me every other day. What ROM would you recommend that I try? Some keys for me is stability, dialer is functional(hated the MT4G dialer), contacts, camera and Touchdown definitely will need to work.
Thanks for any info.

I'm using iced and no issues. Everything works. Jus flash gorrillas latest kernel with it. I believe its 1.02? V.5(the one that came with the iced rom) froze on me alot when I oc past 1.4

The best answer is to make a nandroid backup, and try all of the roms. They're all pretty damn stable at this point, its just a matter of personal opinion. CM6 is still an RC, but a lot of people, myself included, are using it ads their daily driver with no issues at all.

I have been using the CM RC2 as of now .. i didnt care much for the other ones due to it was exactly like what i had already .. with the apps removed and so fourth .. seemed like a lot of setup for nothing .. and with cyanogen rom it is not the same stock ROM .. different. This has his settings, which i like. I think this may be the version where people are saying video playback has been an issue and i have had absolutely no issues with the video playback thru stock player or youtube at all .. no forces closes and everything seems to be working fine with this one so far.
But ya the best advice has already been said .. try them all ... thats what people do when they arent sure about something .. they try it .. obviously what i did . or i couldnt tell you about it.

Thanks all! I think I'm going to be trying the CM ROM. Thanks for all the advice.

dont know what im doing
i dont know what i'm doing, but i do believe i rooted my phone, downloaded titanium back, rom manager, visionary super user, setcpu, and super user. but cant seem to get my phone in recovery screen mode. please help

PLEASE HELP. I can't seem to get ANY version of Adobe Flash to run including this latest update. What am I doing wrong? I have tried to install through SD as well as pushing through ADB. Either the apk won't install or it will install and then when I open a web browser (i've tried several including Dolphin) it crashes.
I'm on a rooted HTC sapphire (mytouch 3g) running 2.2, build is FRG83D and my kernel version is 2.6.32.9-27237-gbe746fb [email protected]#1
Any help would be sooo appreciated!

[Q] Why I have missing featured apps ???

I need your help guys and devs for one problem. I had to downgrade from wildhero (2.3.3 sense) to 2.1 cuz I needed more stable rom for a few days. I choosed one and flashed it, but the market didn't show most of the featured apps, like Skype, My Tracks, Google Sky Map, Xda devs, Tapatalk and many more. I used Search and it's the same - they're not in the results.I thought its location problem but it isn, cuz after a lot flashing different roms I haven't any problems till now. Tried 3 different 2.1 sense roms - its the same - same missing apps. Now when I flashed back this wildhero 2.3.3 sense rom (ver1.2.1) everything is fine , like it should be. I think its 2.3.3 Sense problem , somehow it restricts old android`s version market.. its wired... could you help me somehow ?? please its important to know !!

It is probably due to the fact that those apps need a newer API so it restricts you from downloading it to your phone with an older firmware.
BTW, you said you use Skype? Do you start getting it getting choppy after 30 seconds? I am trying to use it with Fusion (offshoot of Froyo) on my HTC Hero and am finding that happening. What OS are you using?
Thanks,
A

Yeah, mate , I supposed so, but I'm looking for solution. Skype is running well, even very well surprisingly, I'm using WildHero 1.2.1 now, but with older roms like VillianRom12 and 13 was running well too.

P.S. I noticed that when I search for something , in this case were Skype, Sky Map, Astro file manager, and few other apps - the results are all in japanese, korean or chinese language and nothing to do with the searched word .. isnt that strange .. ??? I'm from Bulgaria , far away from these countries.
