updated, now camera not working.

so i just installed HTC's update that they now pulled. And just tried to launch the camera app and all it does is, black screen with the camera icon then it fades back to the home screen. anyone else have the same problem with the froyo update??

Nope... but glad I waited. Guess ill hold off until next week.

no problems with the camera. It's working fine for me.

I'd try restarting the phone once more. Right after I updated and booted into the system, I tried to make a phone call and everytime I clicked call it just went back to the dialer screen without any numbers input. Restarting fixed this. EDIT: However i just tried the camera and its not working just as you described. >_<

yeah... i just restarted the phone and that fixed it. YAY!!!!! SWEET! SWEET! FROYO GOODNESS!!!!!

Have you tried power cycling? I've had that issue once with 2.1 - power cycling solved it, hasn't happened again.

I had the same problem after installing Froyo 3.26 and I rebooted a few times to get it to work and have had no problem since.

power cycling hasn't helped me at all. I'm gonna try resetting back to stock w/o my saved apps/data and see how that goes. After that, I'm going to try and downgrade back to 1.47 ota (someone in another thread mentioned it was doable.)

Before you do that try to open the camcorder app and see if it opens my friend said it worked for him IDK if it was just a coincidence.

I updated and just noticed the camera does not work. I have tried power cycling with no success.

I tried camera app, camcorder app, as well as the shortcut that was on my home screen. No luck. Also, I believe I'm incorrect on downgrading being able to work but we'll see.

same here i opened every app i have and no issues sorry to hear that bro i reopened the camcorder and camera app twice to be sure and takes pics fine

So, after numerous restarts, I turned airplane mode on so that I wouldn't receive anything while backing up and thus need to rebackup, and plugged my phone via usb to my computer. While the sdcard was mounted in ubuntu, I ran the camera app and it worked. I then dismounted the sdcard, unplugged the usb cable, waited for android to remount it, and tried again and its still working. I don't know if mounting the sdcard onto a computer fixed it but its worth a shot for anyone else having trouble.

I had this issue also with the camera not launching, it would go to a black screen for a second and then go back to the home screen. I was browsing an album of a friend's facebook pictures from their contact card and clicked the shutter icon in the bottom corner to launch my camera and that allowed the camera to work via the application launching now. Kind of strange, but I haven't seen any other issues yet.

Market fubar?

Yesterday tried updating an app and all I got was a quick 1 second showing of the download icon in the notification bar and then it dissappeared with no error message. Tried numerous other apps, same crap.
Went through the normal clearing the cache of the usual suspects, logging out and back in of gtalk, and nothing.
12hrs later (this morning) same crap. Did a wipe wipe wipe and restored from a backup from a few weeks ago. Now all my apps just sit on "download starting". So it seems to be a market issue rather than something with my phone. I can check gmail etc fine so my account is good.
Anyone else experiencing yet another market fail? WindowsME was able to keep a longer uptime than the market.

I have this happen to me occasionally. I'm on dk28. It has not Lasted as long is for you though. Usually it only lasts a couple of minitues. Same as my wifes stock evo same thing

Ok. Something with my setup. Did a factory reset and didn't restore any backup.
Setup gmail account, went to market, agreed to TOS and the first app I tried downloaded fine.
Wiped again, restored backup, now back to unsuccessful downloads.
So, what could be causing it I can try to fix? In no mood to start from scratch after a factory reset unless I have no other choice.
On rooted DI18, not using anyones rom

Factory reset and install your apps one by one and see when it starts to act up and when you've fingered your culrpit, restore data and delete it? Idk. I hate when I'm in that situation. I hope it helps

Whenever i try to use my camera, I get the camera initialise, then it clicks out, and restarts the camera app. It wont stop.
Any help?

Try to reboot your phone first, if it still persist then do a factory reset but be sure to back up all your data first before doing a reset.

I dont know how to back up. Im not rooted

[Q] Nexus 4, Force close loop on all apps, Help?

Last night my phone was working perfectly and i didnt install any new apps yesterday so i dont know what caused this to happen...
At about 6am today i turned on my phone. it was all fine until i unlocked it. When i put in my pattern it unlocked and it showed a few of my icons for about half a second and then it came up with an error message saying that the launcher had crashed so i pressed "ok" and it came up again so i pressed "report" and then it said "market feedback agent has stopped" and went back to the launcher and came up with the first error again.
i was just thinking about a way of getting around all the errors to install a new launcher so then i could use my phone. i plugged in my earphones and used the button to start playing my music, then i unlocked my phone and quickly opened skype before the error came up again and then i went in my notifications and i could open Play Music from the notification, i had a notification for an app update so i clicked it and it opened the play store so i installed "go launcher ex" i tried going into my recent apps to change my song but it said "system ui" had crashed, i tried to get into my settings but that crashed too, i worked out that it was most of the stock apps and a few others like bbm that werent working.
device specifications:
Nexus 4
Android 4.3
Rooted
Stock rom
Stock kernal
I dont know what to do without losing everything? thank you for any help

rebooted already? This usually fixes a lot of probs.
cheers

This is happening to me to. I fix it by clearing the ram or closing all open apps. But it happens like once daily now. Any long term solutions?

same issue as here...

just different description... Just cleared google service framework data... will check back in on that thread after tomorrow morning and let you know if it works.

Same here. Bone stock and I don't even shut the phone off but overnight something happens to it and all apps crash. It sucks because it was my morning alarm but the clock app crashes without sounding the alarm.
If I reboot it will work perfect till the next morning, then all over again. Wiped and it still does it. Called it in and Google wasn't aware of anything so if you get this make sure and call Google so they know its widespread.

I cleared services framework and it solved it. So far, 2 days without infinite force closes

Same thing happened to me today. I rebooted into recovery, cleared cache, clear dalvik cache and reboot. Been fine since.

That did not fix it for me.
I got the infinite loop the next morning.

i tried re-booting but nothing happened, i had to go into recovery mode and reset my phone. now i wish i made a backup.

I haven't been getting those major crashes yet but after a while I can't open any apps or they "stop. " I think it has been happening ever since I returned to stock for the kit Kat update. Closing all the apps sometimes fixes it but that ruins my favorite part of the phone which is I can have all my stuff open all the time.

I'm still having this problem. Did everyone else fix it or did it just go away?

You guys should try fastboot flash system... I was getting these crashes awhile back and flashing the system.IMG solved it for me. You will not loose any data either

Photos keeps force closing

Every time I open up photos, it keeps force closing. Does anyone else get this and is this fixable?

Mine was doing this yesterday. I ended up factory resetting and that fixed it. But, I'm not sure what was causing it. I didn't have any 3d party apps, besides the junk that comes on it.

I am also having this issue. I'd rather not factory reset unless I absolutely have to because I don't want to set everything back up. Has anyone been able to fix this issue?

I tried this, complete factory reset, and still have the issue with the Photos app, but only after I update the app... If I don't update the app it works fine

No one has any updates to how they fixed this issue? I'm OCD about app updates and not being able to update Google Photos is killing me...

sorry. after i factory reset the phone, photos stopped force closing but i was having a lot of other weird issues. apps wouldn't update, just sitting in playstore trying to connect ( on wifi and 4g). wouldn't download from playstore, if they did it was painfully slow. so i downloaded the RUU of the newest software version and flashed that. All of my problems went away after that. But, i'm not sure what was causing them.
