Reboot and see what happens.
Have done that a few times, I thought the cause was changing the kernel.. so I cleared cache etc.. and re installed and still nothing

I changed my kernal to faux kernal and now it works fine... looks like that was the cause.. try that

It,s not kernal cause I flashed sense rom with snq,s kern. and also villain with richard,s kern. and all the same...

Nope, it,s not cashe, cause I don't have it at all..
It,s empty allready. I flashed few sense rom,s and then restore nand off my old rom (villain) and every time did full wipe, also changed few hboots etc. Something,s generaly wrong here due to the fact that I get bootloops on roms I normaly flashed before... now bootloops. Nothing to do with hboots or sdcard, I pay attention on rom needs : )

Same problem
Has anyone found a solution to this problem yet? I've flashed my phone plenty of times and this is the first time this has happened...it's frustrating
I've posted on this months ago and I guess no one else found a soultion....atleast not in this thread...but from what i've been hearing from other people with the mt49 it could be a problem since the shipment of the phone. I was told from someone else with the same phone that they had the same issue and it turned out that his phone just had a defective camera =/. But now I have a Sensation 4g. I just wanted to put that info out there. If you're still using the MT4G and have warranty on it I suggest you just send it back to get fixed. Thats what I did and it came back working perfectly. Yes it was time consuming but cheaper then buying a new phone at the time. I still have my MT and use it when im working long hours and my sensation dies

I just got this new MyTouch 4G here and it's been working well all day. While waiting on a red light in my car tonight, I turn on the screen and I see this. It's on 2.2 (no OTA). Has anyone seen this happen on this phone?
I uploaded the short vid to youtube. Pardon my voice, it was recorded on a MyTouch Slide.

Edit: I wanted to watch the video on the YouTube app (on the phone) and after I watched and backed out of it, the screen flipped out again!
That happend to me also send it back to tmobile I did that and they just sent me a new phone

My phones been doing the crazy screen flippy thing as well. I'm new to the mt4g (coming from the g2)... But I assumed this was a known issue with the youtube update...but is it not? Is the flippy screen thing an issue I should be concerned about?

Off topic but what kind of case is that you have in the video?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Funny, I thought I was the only with this issue as I was on the phone with T-Mobile and they wanted me to exchange the device. I fixed it myself since the phone is fine otherwise. Since I was on 2.1 I simply followed the 2.21 update instructions and have a rooted phone now with a functional YouTube update.
I have a video of it is as well but I'm restricted from posting links since I'm not "verified".
Thanks guys. The issue was resolved after installing the OTA. I didn't have this issue on my first MT4G so my first reaction was hardware issue. Then I accidentally tried playing my YouTube video back and realized it was the app.
Thanks for the help!

Hi guys i've been noticing since last night that my home screen keeps foreclosing on me and whenever a message comes in it comes in slow. At first I thought it was my launcherpro acting so I decided to go back using the stock launcher but then the foreclosings kept occurring and even when opening Apps it would seem slow to open them. Can anyone help or tell me how to fix this? Thanks

I'm really sorry, but I couldn't help this...
Blame the bad economy if you're foreclosing!
Lol nice one
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Whenever i get forces closes i usually solve it by clearing the data in the app manager or uninstalling and reinstalling.
Are you using a stock rom?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Are you using stock ROM or custom?
Try reflashing the custom ROM if you are. Remember to wipe data / cache / dalvik. This usually solves most problem
My phone is not rooted its stock everything
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Also when I flip through my home screens the contact is very delayed
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Did the forcecloses start after you installed launcherpro?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Ive had launcher pro for about 2 months and it would fore close once in a while but nothing too bad. I uninstalled the app and it then the stock launcher started foreclosing on me
I think one of the system file is messed up. I'm not sure though. Maybe you can try to unroot it and flash a stock rom (or hell, just go with a custom rom) to see if it's fixed.
I ended up doing a factory reset on my phone and everything is back to normal thanks for the help guys

Hi everyone I need help, I am not a noon to flashing etc. However my camera and camcorder have suddenly stopped working, everytime I open either one it just freezes at a backscreen. I thought it would be a bug in a Rom so I switched but It's not working. Tried everything ...if anyone can help it would be appreciated

If you tried another rom with full wipe and the issue is occurring the next think to do is to flash an ruu file.

Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Fixed...for now...I switched to stock sense and it wasn't working, I turned my phone off for the night and when I woke up in the morning it was working. Will have to see if its working on other roms, thanx for the tips though
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Have you concluded that the fix was leaving your phone off over night? I have the same issue and have tried a few different rom's none of which have fixed it. I was at the point of returning the phone to be repaired.
I guess I'm really asking, did you do anything else? Remove some software, try a specific rom?
It happened to my camera...but that might be due to the fact that the plastic cover in front of the lens has broken orf and the actual camera unit has taken quite a beating! Works now, I went for a run and when I came back it was perfect
Maybe the running jolted it back into position? Try the same thing xD
Could be that you need to go back to stock and make it like it came from the factory. I wonder if overclocking can damage the camera unit?
I just full wiped and went back on the stock rom, turned my phone off and woke up in the morning and the camera was working switched back to other roms and it was working on all of them.. Hopefullly this will work
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
if you have changed rom and the problem persists chances are it's hardware related. I have seen a dhd with similar problems, aswell as wifi problems and it was due to overheating. If you took out the battery it would work for a few hours but then it would do the same
Anyone still having any camera problems??

Been using the HD android revolution Rom for awhile now. Currently on 6.1.3 which includes pershoots kernel.
So since a few weeks ago, when I try to download an app from the market, it will start dwonload, say downloading but wont progress. It wont even show the percentage. It simplty goes "Downloading" but the laoding bar is rayed diagonally with black in gray moving to the right. I tried updating market, downgrading market, tried different roms but no chance. Im currently on hydrogen mod port for glacier and its not working. I was on CM7 nightly 177 a few days ago and it didnt work back then either. I know its not the router because my dad has a mytouch too and it works. somebody please help me :'(
Go to settings/applications/manage applications/all/market, clear data then try.

Good God SOMEONE HELP. I tried to download something again and it appeared in my notification bar saying downloading (just like before) but in the market the text under the loading bar swifted between downloading and starting download extremely fast for like 2 seconds. A minute later the download icon on the notification bar has a 2 on it saying that the app I downloaded is being downloaded twice. The download icon flashes every 5 minutes.

Got fixed out of nowhere, wtf. Alright thanks everyone for you're help
So yesterday I accidentally dropped my phone in milk. I picked got my phone out of it almost immediately, and dried it off. I didn't really think much of it, because everything was still working properly. Today, I tried to use my camera, but when I hit the camera button, the camera app FC'd. I reopened it and I got an error saying "Can't connect to camera". I thought maybe something happened in the ROM, so I restored a backup from about 2 weeks ago, and I got the same message.
Currently, I've got the phone in rice, just in case. Is it possible that the milk is what is causing this? If so, is there any chance that I can fix the camera without sending it in? (I don't have insurance)
The only thing that's keeping me from thinking that the milk is what's causing this, is the fact that everything else is working normally on the phone. I've called people, texted, games, everything is working fine, but the camera.
I'm running Zips most recent build, and my backup was IceColdSandwich. In a few hours when I take my phone out, I'll try a GB rom, but for now, does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Yea, MOST of the time, but NOT always, you can go into the phones settings, then into Applications, select the 'All' tab, and find the Camera on the list. Clear the cache, also clear data...that usually works. If not, maybe fix permissions? I always try those methods. But I don't care for ICS so I don't know if its the same as 3.5.....but try that.

Haha so am I. Thanks for the help though, I appreciate it.
Ya it definitely sounds like you nuked a critical component of the camera. Definitely lucky it didn't fry any of the other parts. If you've tried doing a factory reset and completely wiping your disks, don't think there's anything else you can do other than sending it in or attempting to fix it yourself which would require quite a bit of skill and probably some soldering expertise.
I'm using the same rom as you and the same thing happened to me at one point. I managed to fix it though by clearing camera cache, disabling and re-enabling it, and then clearing the dalvik cache and fixing permissions just for kicks. One or all of those things fixed it for me. Try that maybe?

Alright. I'll try it haha. I've been given new hope because the flashlight is working now, so I'm hoping the camera might start working again.
One question though, what do you mean by disabling it and re-enabling it?
When you go to clear the app cache you'll see a button next to the force stop option that says disable. From my understanding its basically like turning off the drivers for the camera. When you re-enable it (same button btw) you reactivate the drivers and it will communicate with the camera again hopefully.
If I'm wrong about any of that someone can correct me. But it still worked to fix my problem anyways

If you do plan on doing that make sure to search the general threads. I saw a really good video there once with someone walking through how to properly disassemble this phone.

Alright, I'll try to find that. The website that I'm ordering the camera from apparently sends step by step instructions.
I guess that's one thing I enjoy about iPhones. They come apart and can be repaired very easily haha
Hope?
Okay, so I randomly tried opening the camera again today, and to my surprise, the app didn't force close or give me the message saying it couldn't connect. Nothing was appearing though, so I didn't think much of it. Then I remembered in Zips build you had to turn force preview on, so I did. Nothing happened, but I tried to take a picture, and the screen turned green with a weird little brownish area in the middle.
I'll upload a picture of it later if anyone wants and thinks maybe they can help me figure it out a little more.
The fact that it's working all of the sudden makes me think it might just randomly go back to normal. However, it might not.
But the fact that the camera is actually turning on now, that means that if anythings broken, its the camera itself, right? Not the hardware around it?
Hmm, upload a picture. My camera started taking those glitchy looking photos before it died on me. If you hadn't mentioned the green and brown detail I would have forgotten.
I'm not saying I can give any more suggestions than I already did but if you're getting the same problem I had then maybe you can categorize this back in the realm of software issues. Better than a hardware failure at least...

So, the MyTouch 4G has shown several camera issues; from a black screen to FCing when opening the app. It seemed to be like an update issue to the newest GB but even stock phones that hadn't been updated were also having issues. If anyone has anymore info on this subject please reply here or PM me. I am very interested in this issue as I have a coworker witht the same problem. It has also been shown to reoccur after people think they have "fixed" it with a factory reset or such.
