Camera Crashing

Okay, I have a weird problem. Everything I open the camera app, the phone completely shuts off. It used to work just fine a few days back. Even if its another app that's has to use the camera, it would do the same thing. I'm not sure if its some of the apps that I been lately?
P.s. I been using my phone heavily and the battery last a long time. 8 hours just using 40% battery life. Battery life expanding to 18 hours.

mhh strange .. i dont have annything simular ...you could try use barcode scaner and see if that its a sofwtare ( app ) problem or driver problem ... you also can try to reflash the phone with seus ... if that dont work eather there might be a hardware fault that cause the crash ...
good luck ( remember there is somthing calt warranty )

I've got this problem at the moment, using an X10i on R1FA014. The handset froze and shutdown when i opened the camera sometimes, so i got it exchanged only to have the same problem with a new, identical version of the phone. I went into my 3 store to see what they suggested, but apparently they suggest it's something to do with an outdated SIM card.
I've tried altering the screen timeout settings, default camera settings and all sorts. The problem seems to occur most when i wake the phone from sleep and then immediately run the camera, but not every time. Really, really frustrating - does anybody else have this?

Couple of things that you should check..
1. Do you have any Task Killers/ managers running that might be screwing with things?
2. Did you install anything immediately prior to the problems starting? sounds like something's interfering with the camera app causing a fatal error..

I had the same problem about 60% of the time I ran the camera it rebooted. I forced an update/repair with the update service which wipes all your apps and settings. Same thing happend. A few emails back and forth with SE and they said there was a fault. I phoned Orange and less than 24hrs later I had a working replacement. I'm much happier now. Barcode scanner and Google Goggles all work nicely.

I'm having the same problem. When i try to open camera app via icon or camera button, phone will crash and restart or sometimes open and give the message 'camera not available'. I contacted SE support and they reckon that to date nobody has reported the issue. I seriously doubt that! They said to try and reset which doesn't work. Now they are ignoring my emails. This is the last SE phone i buy!
Anyone got a fix? I tried what everyone else mentioned but no luck so far.

Unable to wake - have to pull battery

Has anyone else experienced this?
Sometimes (5-6 times in the last 24 hours) when the phone is sleeping, it will not wake when I hit power/unlock. I have tried installing no lock, hoping it was a glitch in the lock screen, but it still happens. The only way to fix it is to pull the battery.
Any advice?

Are you running setcpu? Mine was doing this when I would lower the speed with a screen off profile. I just uninstalled setcpu for now. I don't think the kernel supports it anyway.

No, I had it, but since I can't overclock yet, there was no need to keep it installed. I did a factory reset, so we'll see if this fixes things.

let us know how it goes... If you experienced any unable to wakes after the reset...

Seems to be working fine. I'm not sure what the problem WAS, but the reset seems to have fixed it.
Root and busybox were still intact. Had to re-do the lag fix. (Method 1)
I'll update if I get the issue again.
My phone is just so...VIBRANT

Samething happened to me yesterday morning. Woke up found my phone wouldn't go back up. I thought it was dead, until I pulled the battery. I haven't Root hack it or installed SetCPU.
Sorry to throw this issue in this topic, but anyone have any problem with the phone rotating sideway for WEB and Messaging? I thought when I first got it, it worked.. now it doesnt..

There is probably a common app here or something causing this because I don't ever recall hearing this type of issue with the Vibrant before this thread.

I had the same thing happen to me and found after much trial and error that when I pulled my SD card out I was then able to wake the phone up. Apparently there was some problem with my SD (I was using it with my previous phone..MT3G) that was causing the Media scanning process to get stuck.
I ended up backing up what I needed from the SD and reformatting it. Since then I haven't had any issues. We may or amy not have the same root cause but hopefully this does help.

I'm thinking the problem HAS to be software related. After the reset, I've reinstalled everything I had before, and it's working like a charm! I've even used Titanium Backup to remove a lot of the bloatware, and still ruining great!
I just wish we could get a logcat, but when it happens, the phone is dead until you pull the battery.

I am almost 100% SETCPU is the problem..
My phone would not come out of sleep.. I had to pull the battery and when I turned it on it would say "auto update of time and date".. That made me think the phone lost its internal battery and the phone was bad..
It started doing it right after I configured SETCPU... I installed the program last Thursday but never clicked on it.. I set it for on demand and that is when it started not coming out of sleep..
So I removed SETCPU and it still would not come out of sleep..
So I did a wipe all user data and it started working fine.. I installed SETCPU and it was still working fine.. I setup SETCPU for performance and it started messing up again and not coming out of sleep..
So, I wiped all user data again last night and it has been working perfectly since.. So I do not plan on reinstalling SETCPU...

G2 locks up frequently

Hi all,
Got my phone a week ago today, the issue started the next day. It happens about 1-2 times per day. Ill lock the phone and when I go to unlock it later, the screen won't wake up. I have to yank the battery to get it active.
Has anyone else experienced this?

sounds like a software bug, its usually something you installed thats running in the background.
-You can try trial by error and try to detect which app is causing it
-Or, wipe the device and start fresh

I doubt it- I don't have much installed beyond stock, just a handful of items that I also ran on my G1.
How does one perform a factory reset on a G2?

I was overthinking it and assumed this required bootloader/recovery - it's in the Privacy section of Settings.

lol, yup thats exactly where it is.

Phone freezes

Hi, my phone has started to freeze. I have to softboot it which is getting a pain.
This is a recent thing and I think it's down to an xposed module. Has anyone else had this problem linked with xposed?

Yes this happend even to me since last week. I think it depends on some app updates as Hangout and Google Plus.... indeed sometime they creased several time and just rebooting can help the problem. Anyway Today I found my N4 completely off or it does not switch on the screen. It is like a sod and after pushing several time for more than 3 sec the power button it reboot again.
Now I am doing a backup of my pictures and I will try to make a clear of cache.
My N4 is not rooted and bootloader locked so virgin!

Photos keeps force closing

Every time I open up photos, it keeps force closing. Does anyone else get this and is this fixable?
Sent from my HTC6545LVW using XDA-Developers mobile app

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.
