Ok, picked up the hero for sprint and everything seems great however, I tested everything including youtube viewing in HQ and no problems. I then started to install all my apps that I had on my other google phone and later started viewing youtube in HQ again. It will let you hear what you are playing and show the first image of the video but after that, all you can do is hear the video and the picture gets stuck. Again, this is only for HQ video on the youtube app. Anyone elce have this problem or wanna test? I'm trying to narrow it down to which app is causing this.
Ok, does not look like any of my apps are doing this. All I did was re-arange some of the widgets and have not even installed anything and it's giving me this problem. Anyone elce?
UPDATE: I think its my SD card. I was using the one from my magic...
hmm... never had this problem with my EU version of the Hero, try restoring your phone to factory settings!
Not sure what the problem is... It's hit or miss and it doesent matter which card I use. Starting to think i've get a bum unit now.
Well, looks like the HQ youtube problem is gone only when I use the micro SD that came with the hero. All my other micro SD cards are Micro SDHC and the one that comes with the hero is a Micro SD without the HC. Could this be the problem? Again, this is the sprint hero, not the GSM one.
Just as the thread title says, my camera is full of bugs, unable to change iso/exposure properly and hangs when I try to focus or take a picture. Had the same problem when using jf4 and jm2 as well as third party camera apps. Is this a software or hardware problem? And any solutions?
you are the very first person to complain about this.
just about every body else loves the camera, including me

I had problems testing the panorama shot, but I never complained, mostly because I don't take pictures and I was just testing it. Also, in the camera's defense, I was talking pictures in a room, where perhaps there was an issue due to corners while the shot is intended to be of landscape....any thoughts?
Not exactly complaining but I think that it could be a hardware problem as half of the time I press the camera app, the app starts shows a black screen and says 'camera failed' and force closes...

Is this lag ?
Not much lag, but like I said its real buggy, can't even focus.when I tap on an area the box shifts to wheretapped but it does not focus, the box will now get stuck there and the iso/exposure will not change then usually the camera will stop working

now, that is an actual problem.
did you try rebooting the phone?
if you can't take even a normal picture, you might have an defective camera
Taking a picture is a hit and miss affair, takes pics 2 out of 10 times i try, it should be a camera problem, going to send it in for warranty now. will report back when its fixed
Have you tried a hard reset to see if the problem goes away?
Whenever things start to go wierd, I alway 1)Soft reset 2)If it does not work do a hard reset 3)If still doesn't work, find out if everyone else with the same firmware has the problem 4) Finally, go to the shop for a replacement, it's likely then to be a hardware issue.
If you have 'fring' installed uninstall it and camera will stop failing
Just updated to JM2, I have fring installed, never had such problem even with stock...
Sorry my bad, fring was recently fixed for sgs
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Soft reset, hard reset, flashed firmware again. All did not work. Was sent in for repair a few hours ago, they said it would take 2-3 days, had jm2 on it though and where I live the latest firmware is jf4. Hope they don't bother about that. Hoping for the best
Update!
Just got phone back from Samsung after waiting for 4 torturous days, everything seems to be in working order now, the auto focus is still pretty slow though but other than that its great.
So after all it should have just been a hardware problem as the customer service lady told me that they changed the pcb of the camera

HELP PLEASE.... I bought a new Galaxy S Captivate about 3 weeks ago and i think alrealy had the new Android 2.1 with the GPS Fixed. The Camera was working until a few days ago. Every time I start the Camera app, after just 2 or 3 seconds I am getting the Warning message "Camera Failed". I can only press okay and the Camera app closes. I tried many times and it is always the same.
I tried soft reset, and hard reset which errased all my data, and nothing. Today I decided to upgrade to the new Leaked version of the Froyo 2.2 to see if it would help. Nothing helped. I AM STUCK....
I called Samsung 3rd level support and they said that I should send my phone to them for them to REFLASH my phone. If that would not fix they would replace and send another phone to me.
My problem is that I am out of the USA (I am in Brazil now) for the next 3 months, so I would like to find a way to fi via software now.
Since Samsung said that the best way to fix this Camera problem is the FLASH the phone, and only SAMSUNG has this special flashing software, my question is:
1- DOES ANY ONE KNOWS WHER I COULD DOWNLOAD THIS SAMSUNG FLASHING SOFTWARE ? ANY WHAT WHERE I COULD GET THE ROM ORIGINAL CAPTIVATE 2.1 VERSION?
2- I only know this 2 ways to flash or upgrade my phone,
I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.rar (for Android 2.1)
I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low-designgears.exe (for Android 2.2 leaked version)
But I am not sure that this is the SAMSUNG FLASH version that they are talking about , is it?
Where can I find the real Samsung Flash software ? PLEASE HELP
Solved Thanks to Voodoo
Had practically the same problem, Camera failed yet it worked for Video and even in Panorama mode, I didn't install anything new other than some themes from the Market, I tried factory set, removing the battery ... nothing worked, so I disabled OCLF, uninstalled it, and installed Voodoo lag fix instead, that made the trick !! Don't understand why though , but anyways it's working now

the camera is definitely broken. I'm running kernel 2.6.32.9, twingerbread 3.3 on sgh-i897; and the video option is no-fugu. force-close EVERY time I try to use it.
When i try to camera it says "camera failed".Soft reset, hard reset, flashed firmware again. All did not work
I've noticed that when I play either of the Transformers movies that the audio and the video are out of sync. I tried viewing some other mp4s as well and they have the same problem. Does anyone have this problem as well? Has anyone found a way to fix this? I just recently upgraded to a class 6 microSD card too, so I don't think that there are any problems with my microSD card. Thanks alot for any feedback.
Just got mine in the mail and I noticed this also. It is very slight mismatch but I noticed it on the Transformer movies.
I don't know if it's an audio issue or what. If I find something I'll repost. Figured you would at least want to know if others see it too.
It is good to know it's not just me, thank you for that. I've tried viewing the movies through android and have noticed less of a discrepency in the audio-video sync, could it just be a windows mobile thing?
I have had this problem for some time now! Didnt exist before.
Even uppdated my phone 2 days agoo and still there
So my Note 3 has been giving me camera problems. It looks like the autofocus goes crazy, making this buzzing sound. I can feel it vibrate.
If i push anywhere on the screen it stop and dose a manual focus.
Now the crazy part is im not sure that this is cause by a hardware issue since its not happning always! Most of the time but not allways.
Will do more test on other cam apps, but wanted to see if any one here have had the same problem? Any Fix?
I found a nother guy when i googled whom seem to have the same problem, he have even put a clip on youtube about the problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB8OTBJkpms&feature=youtu.be
One more thing.. The dum thing is that i didnt test it when i made a factory reset before the uppdate.. I dont know if it matters, but i did test the cam app after i did restore with titanium backup. Still this is the newest firmware and i came from an older firmware.
You need to go to service with phone .Camera processor is burned out .
i just newly bought a new logic board for the phone and when i got it i made a clean wipe with kies to load in stock rom but im having weird lagging issue in youtube or mx video player it just lags throughout the video it also have the same problem in the chrome app if u play youtube from there. i have no idea why its lagging like this it seems to work fine otherwise. is the cpu/gpu defective? its only the picture that get these lag freezes the audio work uninterrupted the video will just jump to where the audio is after the lag. i also tried dr.ketan rom and i have same issues there so it seems to be a hardware problem but might there be a software fix for it?

Have you tried changing the 'Hardware-accelerated settings' under the developer options?
