[Q] Camera broken - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
the camera on my Glacier appears to be broken. Any "camera related" app I try to launch force closes after a few seconds. This is true for the built-in camera app, for a barcode scanner app and even for a torch app that would use the flash and not really the camera.
I have already cleared the cache and Davlik and have fixed the permissions to no avail. I ran a logcat from launching the camera app until after I clicked the "force close" button:

My next step now would be a factory reset, but before I do that I'd like to see whether anybody's got a better idea. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

I just did another reboot and launched the camera app, again. On the first attempt the behavior was the same as before: the app force closed after a while. On any subsequent attempts to launch the camera app I now get the error message "Camera Error / Cannot connect to camera".

We need more info. Are you rooted? What rom? What kernel? Any mods, themes? Things like this can break stuff.
If youre rooted and running a custom rom, just reflash the rom from a full wipe.

I would try full wipe and flash the ROM again.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

the device is rooted; I am running CM 7.0.3 with kernel 2.6.35.14 demonspeed v9. It's probably the kernel that causing these problems. After re-flashing CM 7.0.3 (thus going back to the kernel that comes with the ROM), the camera started working again ...

Camera force closing?

Recently the camera on my z just force closes whenever I try to use it, whether its the camera app, or another app that uses the camera, I.e; barcode scanner, this is fairly recent, and I have tried a few different roms, with no success using my camera again, the roms I tried are miui, cm7, and virtuous unity, so I have no idea what is causing the fc's, and was wondering if there's anyone here who can help me?
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using XDA App
are you restoring system data with TB? are you super wiping and clearing all the caches manually before flashes?
Yeah, I have tried a full wipe (system,cache,dalvik?), and a clean rom without restoring anything with TB and I still get the FC issue.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using XDA App
i suppose it could be hardware related, have you tried any rooted stock roms with a stock kernal etc? See if that works? I know the wrong kernal with the wrong rom will break camera functionality
I haven't tried that, I'll have a look around for one, any you'd reccomend?
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using XDA App
Update, tried a few stock rooted roms here, with the htc kernel, still no camera :/
Could you do a logcat ? At least you would see whats happening when the camera Force Closes?
Good call lol I always read longcat lol

those are the parts of the logcat i have refering camera, if you'd like anymore of said logcat, lemme know!
I'm having a similar issue, but the camera only force closes if I try to use a shooting mode outside of no effect or black and white. All other modes cause a crash
running insertcoin 1.6

I'd be happy with that, i only ever used normal mode anyway :/

Screen issue on device unlock

Hey.
When I press the power button to wake my screen the backlight seems to start lighting up ( from the center of the screen to the borders) but nothing is shown.
I press the power button again, screen goes completely black, I press it again and the screen wakes as it should.
It seems to me it only happens if the device has been on standby for a longer period of time (1~ hour).
This has been happening on every ROM and kernel I've been using (4.2, 4.2.2, 4.3, 4.3.1, 4.4 and their respective stock kernels as well as NEO and Franco kernel in several revisions).
I've been using lots of different CPU, GPU and voltage settings over time but the issue persists.
Strangely I never had this happen when receiving a call or when the alarm goes off in the morning.
I have no idea what possibly causes this. Maybe anyone has a clue?

OK, so I have been having similar issues, but mine is worse!
When I press the power button to unlock, I get a dim back light but no display. I then press power again and you can see the faint back light turn full black just like when you hit that button to turn your screen off, then I try again to turn on my display and I keep getting the back light on on off cycle. I've tried using my connected bluetooth to make a call to see if the display pops up and nothing.
Eventually, I have to hold the power button down until I force the phone off, and then turn the phone back on in regular mode (not safe mode which maybe I should try even though I have no idea what that allows me to do) and continue with what I was doing. Today is the first time I decided to search this problem. My N4 is about 10 months old, is rooted, no ROM, but Franco Kernel and overclocked to 1512. BTW, I also adjusted the overclock speed and tried plugging in direct charge when I get my no wake up problem.
This has been going on for about a month, has been the only reason a reboot has been needed, and is becoming very annoying. I also use wireless charging. I do not know if a complete wipe of the phone getting it back to stock would help, but I really would like to fix this. I want the N5 but realistically I don't need it yet. The N4 is in perfect physical condition, and until recently, very reliable.
So no, you are not alone!
Need help here though!
Thanks all.
Yeah, I have the exact same problem.

When did yours start doing it?
Sent using my etch a sketch: Nexus 4
It's weird. It seems to be totally ROM and kernel independent. It also seems it has nothing to do with the governor or clock speed. Neither with the voltage. It happens while on a/c and while on battery. No matter the temperature, too.

I can't believe this issue is so unknown.
I guess I'll have to figure out how to logcat and see if I can find any hints.

Maybe someone who's good at reading logs can shed some light. This is what my log shows from the first time I press power, over pressing it again to turn the half lit screen off to pressing it a third time so it shows up normally.

My wife's n4 is having the exact same issue and it's a completely stock phone.
If it's the same issue that used to happen with the HTC HD2, then it's probably the power button.
To test this out, enable the option "Volume button wake". That option allows you to wake up the device using the volume buttons (Please note that I have this option inside Carbon settings > buttons, it might not be in stock or it might be in a different place and name depending on the ROM). Now stop using the power button and use the volume button for a while instead to wake up the device, then see if the problem persists.
Edit: Also try using "double tap status bar to sleep" or set the screen timeout to something short (in short, don't use the power button to put the device to sleep)
I'm already using a mod that turns the back button into a power off button on the home screen.
Please note that this only happens if the device is turned off for a longer period. If the device is awake I can repeatedly press the power button and it will react instantly.
It seems to me it happens when the device is in deep sleep. If I press the power button after the screen has been off for let's say an hour the screens backlight will turn on and show a very light whiteish dim but nothing is shown. So I have to press it again to turn it off (screen goes black) and again to turn it on (instantly works then)

that is just a wakelock taking longer to execute/finish, had few of those, not a hardware specific thing(even more that our s4 pro can´t even do a full sleep) some app is causing that,for me happens mostly when I have too much apps that synchronize accounts
I've ready tried waiting after the first press (when the display just has a light dim) but it never fully turns on unless I lock and relock it again.

[Q] Battery Drain during deep sleep

I've been fighting on and off wih horrible battery life with this phone ever since I got it. The past 2 months have been horrific. There's just no way of getting deep sleep not using battery. I usually lose about 30-40% over night. I have no idea what the culprit could be.
I don't have the usual culprits installed; Facebook, Google+, Google Search, etc. I have greenify installed and pretty much hybernating anything that I don't use all the time; Gmail, whatsapp.
I've tried countless factory resets. Something, some app is killing my battery. Gsam battery monitor claims Android OS has been awake the most, sent/received some data. Android System says some 1.5h sensor time was used, out of 8h the phone was sleeping doing nothing.
I am at my wits end here. Running CloudyStock 2.5 with simple kernel V6(tried all kernels there are, always the same thing).

I flashed 20D last weekend. I did absolutely nothing on it, no root, nothing. Only whatsapp installed. For 2 days, my battery was fantastic. 48h, 4h screen time on a single charge. Next charge was again horrible, lost 30% overnight. I charged again and stil the same, deep sleep drain. Like I said I did nothing to the phone, only whatsapp installed and some music downloaded with Play Music. This morning I again went back to full stock and I'm having good battery time(but there's nothing on the phone).
I somehow think my internal memory is messed up. I believe once I download stuff and start filling up my storage, my battery goes to crap.
Got my phone back from the service center. Replaced battery. I'm happy cause know I know, I wasn't crazy.

nexus 6p gets slow after a few days, logd memory seems high?

My Nexus 6P lately has been getting really slow after being on for a few days. I ran:
Code:
adb shell
top -m 20 -s rss
And I think it looks unusual that my 'logd' is spinning out of control like this:
Code:
User 6%, System 48%, IOW 10%, IRQ 1%
User 90 + Nice 28 + Sys 928 + Idle 641 + IOW 193 + IRQ 17 + SIRQ 17 = 1914

Does anyone knows what this means and how I can stop it from happening? It is ruining an otherwise great phone.

Screen Mirroring's Effects on CPU Usage

After Android 5.0 update Screen Mirroring started causing serious input lag and temperature rise on the phone. Phone screen is mirrored to one of Samsung's 2015 Tizen-based TVs.
Here are the results of my benchmark showing top processes and CPU usage:

To sum up:
When idle at home non-mirrored, /system/bin/mediaserver don't use or use little CPU. But uses 18% when mirrored to TV.
When playing video in default player non-mirrored, mediaserver use 8%, but uses 26% when mirrored to TV.
I don't know if this was the case before the update, but now videos started to be choppy when mirrored unlike when I first got my S5.
What do you guys think?
So...
No one uses Screen Mirroring on this phone or what? I'd love if someone with older versions tried SM and write down CPU usage.
The phone lags like hell and no one experienced it except me?
