Camera has now broken.

Just did the update, Not really wanting to post, did a quick search and found nothing, But the 2.2 OTA update appears to have broken the camera...
The default app opens and cloes, and others just sit with a black screen

That's weird. I just done my update 2 hour ago. But seems like everything works fine.

Fine with mine.
I even tested the 720p.
Try to manually reboot your phone.
I got issue with app list and fixed with reboot. Probably this one too.
Also check your SD card.

Yea I havent read anyone else having this problem so its annoying, I was planning on doing a sidew by side comparrison with the 2.2 and 2.1 versions.

Same problem here...

RESTART your Desire, it's fixed most peoples cameras.

I shouldnt have to use a gold card.

Only way I tried to make it run,was playing with the task killer and killing footprints,gallery and cam apps.
Then it runs,but that's not a solution...

I've got the same problem, just opens and then closes. Tried reboot but it didn't help.

well you're on orange, aren't you?
No goldcard = no camera

My camera isn't working either, a friend of mine with the same phone and same provider (vodafone) has got his camera working with no problems at all.

Same here, camera dead. Rebooting didn't help.
EDIT: Started task killer, killed everything (including camera, it was listed). Now it works.

A note to everyone with problems - I have done some testing and the problems seems to be some unresolved compatibility issues migrating from the old android os to the new one. Things seem to be fixed for some people by restarting however in some cases a factory reset is required. Most settings will be maintained in this however user dictionary, security and data settings may be lost. Other app based settings will also be lost, but so far it seems to be the sure fire method to resolve the problem.
Also note that the problem has been filed with HTC and we are waiting for a response.

Camera is working again, out of nowhere!

+1 - stock unbranded desire. Camera now fails, reboot doesn't help.
Task killing a bunch of apps lets you start the camera - but this does not survive a reboot.
Moving apps to the SD card in App Manager also re-enables the camera for some reason but again this does not survive a reboot.
Need a fix for this pdq!

OK - have a fix that works for me. Killed all tasks one by one and tested camera to find culprit:
LED Light Widget 1.0.9
Uninstalled this and camera working normally even after reboot.

Orange Desire debranded and going to 2.3

Hi guys, i've had my orange desire debranded since i got it and its been fine, but recently been having issues with friend stream never updating and phone constantly telling me its nearly full despite me deleting most of my apps and clearing cache and the wifi going dodgy.
So was going to factory reset it, but thought since 2.3 is not out should I just install that instead. Has anyone with a debranded orange desire done this already and noticed any issues?
I heard some one mention that if using the sat nav the phone no longer charges up while using 2.3, because the USB power is limited?

I've gone from debranded orange phone running stock 2.2, to the official 2.33.
Noticed several issues: Random resets, resets if I use the camera whilst touching the screen etc.
Once you've upgraded, you can't go back either.
I would strongly recommend you avoid, until such time as it's possible to root / s-OFF / downgrade HBOOT to install FROYO again (if you experience problems).
EDIT: That beings said, you could install a pre-rooted version which wouldn't upgrade HBOOT. Your choice really

Hey.
I was orange Branded with FroYo. I used the unrEVOked method to root my phone, used alpharev to s-off and then I started playing with ROM's.
I did all this before the gingerbread came out.
I'm currently using RCMixS Evolutionary Sense ROM. Its a mix of sense 2.1 and Sense 3 (the stuff that's on the sensation and such) Its a great ROM.
With official Ginger you are gonna have internal memory problems.
I highly recommend rooting and using RCMixS. Its not perfect, as it suffers from the usual setbacks of Dev GB (such as camcorder image being stretched etc)
but if I'm honest it doesn't bother me.
I've also partitioned my SD card so I have an extra 1gb of memory that the phone can use for the system. It runs very fast now and it is a pleasure to use.
Have a look at this thread for info on RCMixS and see what you think. I made the leap and I have never regretted it. Everything has worked fine for me except for the obvious know bugs, which all GB Devs will be ironing out soon, as soon as they get hold of the Source Code.
Hope this helps.

Hi there, yes I have tried everything but my 'official' HTC charger will only now supply 'Charging USB' since GB update. (NB This only through the car dock, the car charger and lead still charges at AC)
It was an Orange branded Desire on 2.2 prior to update.
Everything else works great and I was glad to get rid of those stupid Orange game demos.

I went from Orange branded to standard HTC froyo, then to gingerbread and I've had no issues at all. No crashing, no reboots, just improvements.
BTW I've never rooted my phone.

Thanks all for the advice, I've read about a few having problems with 2.3 but also about the same number with people having no problems. The charging thing with sat nav is a little worrying for me as i use it quite often.
I'm going to wait a while I think for a more clear picture to come out.
Out of intreast though does anyone have a link to a down load of 2.3? I guess you have to be a member on the htc developer site inorder to download it.

From what I have been able to gather, it's a very few people having issues. I'll be doing the upgrade sometime this week or weekend when I have time as it's my wife's phone now and she doesn't want me messing with it when she needs it for work.

I'm not shocked with this change...I found using Google Navigation was taxing on the power supply with Froyo 2.2 as well, so this basically means it won't charge the phone, but it should keep it running when plugged into the car outlet. And when it comes to navigation, I rarely leave it running with the screen on anyway as I don't need to look at it constantly. I use it to find a route to an unknown destination for me and then only look at it when I'm unsure of a turn or similar. While the screen is off, the phone should still charge as it did on Froyo. If not, then you just need to run Navigation with a full battery or intermittently. Remember, it's a phone, not a full blown dedicated GPS device for navigation, so you can't expect it to run and work all day like a GPS.
I'm going to wait a while I think for a more clear picture to come out.

You don't need to be a member...they're just not making it available over the air to everyone due to removal of some settings, etc. But I gather any Desire user can download and install it, even those in the "non supported" regions.

Just to add, the removed wall paper and apps (teeter and flashlight) are included with the downloads as APK files should you need them.

Fixed in ATT ICS 4.0.4 ver I927UCLJ3

I have been setting up and play with this version for a couple of hours. I was fighting with Kies to recognize the phone and finally had to uninstall / reinstall again to get it to work. Makes no sense since I backed up before the update. Regardless i was able to recover my SMS and Phone logs which is the only thing I did not have backed up.
Here are the fixes that I have found so far:
1. Keyboard backlight of course.
2. Menu buttons light up now when they are touched. No longer have to touch screen (this was a big one for me).
3. SMS notifications work correctly although I had switched to SMS Pro to solve and I love it now.
4. Other notifications seem to be working ( calendar, alarm, etc.) but I was already using Volume Ace which fixed these as well.
5. Accuweather application rotates through my chosen cities now. I had not realized this was not working properly but always had to open the app to switch cities.
So far so good with some of the major items fixed. #2 was really bothering me for a long time since I was alway hunting for the right button in the dark.

So, there shall be no more GSM hangups? Than its a musthave
Still have not found a link to download any version of this update.

Someone had posted that GPS is fixed as well, something that I and a few others have been battling with - it taking minutes, if ever, locking a signal and location.
Can you confirm GPS ? Did you have issues w/ it before?
I'll be playing with this Rom this weekend.

I had seen people having problems with GPS but I never experienced that issue. Perhaps I just do not use it enough but when I use it as navigation while driving with the built in apps, the location was always correct for me. I used it out of state a few times and my location seemed to stay locked.
I was basically using the stock ROM LH2 before with just the Keyboard light fix. No Root or other changes except CWMR for backups.

Tethering and 4G Symbol
Hi,
ICS looks great for me, i flashed the Stock rom (I927UCLJ3_I927ATTLJ3_ATT) from samfirmware.com via ODIN, but there are still 2 problems.
First:
Is there any way to unlock USB Tethering and Mobil Hotspot?
Second:
What´s about the 4G Symbol, i´m living in Germany and on GB i saw the 3G or H (for HSDPA+) Symbol now its a 4G
I´m not sure if the 4G search process reduces the battery livetime wahtsoever, is it possible it switch it back?
Thx and have a nice Day
Oh. P.s. is ist possible to Root the Stock rom, and kill all the damn AT&T app´s and change the gps.conf?

Well, about the GSM and notification issues: they were not fixed. I noticed one thing, that this problem is repeatable if you use Alarm clock (stock or not - does not matter).
You wake up, diable the alarm, after that, if you dont touch and turn on your phone - it will hang in a while, until you turn it on. So the GSM/Wifi statuses change rapidly after turning on, time advance in status bar very fast.
This issue makes me miss calls and have repeatable notifications

Why does the name of my provider always appears in the notification bar?..

It is built into the software. You Can decode the Rom, and put in 14 toggles to remove it

I just updated my Samsung Captivate Glide (AT&T, SIM-unlocked) with ICS 4.0.4, but the GPS still don't work. I can see proper satellite signals with GPS-Test-App, but the App's (e.g. Google Earth, Google Maps or Worl navfree cannot connect with the GPS-receiver. This bug was reported so many times now, I don't understand, why this bug is not fixed in 4.0.4. Does anybody has some informations about a fix for this boring problem?

GPS works for me, but I have to wait a lot for first time position fix.

Literom 0.8.4 finally has GPS fixed. I was cruising around with it, it was as accurate as my TomTom and fixed about as fast.
TheGreaterGood found the fix and embedded it .. huge thumbs up! Follow Instructions in the OP .. .I installed everything, literom kernel 1.1.1, stock modem and stock everything else, north america for gps config and after it fixed the first time, it started fixing right away in doors and out.. I'm very happy w/ this Rom.

[Q] Update caused slow camera start from lock screen and slow to turn on

After upgrading from 4.0 to 4.1 I found that my phone won't switch on until I press the power button three times although sometimes it does switch on first go. Then, I installed the latest OTA patch to 4.1.1, software number 3.14.401.31 (international version) and found that accessing the camera from the lock screen, with security pattern enabled, is very slow. That is when you drag the camera to the unlock ring and release, the lock ring pauses for about 5 seconds before the camera starts up. This didn't happen before the last update.
So far I have taken the camera out of the unlock bar and rebooted the phone and turned off geo-tagging photos. None of these options helped.
If I turn off the pattern unlock then accessing the camera from the lock screen is normal so this appears to be something to do with accessing the camera with the pattern unlock enabled.

Hi,
I have encountered the same thing - seems like you're the only one who has reported it on these forums so far. I hadn't tried disabling the pattern unlock, thanks for the tip. I'll try this. But I'm quite unhappy about this new bug that just came out of nowhere with the 4.1 update, especially knowing that the camera quick start was one of the features HTC boasted about so much!

Yeah, not much on it at the moment but the upgrade is quite recent. Hopefully more people will find this thread and we can get some traction.

Same problem here, me and my wife. Wery annoing!

I emailed HTC and they replied the next day which was good. They asked me to reset the camera app, reboot the phone and then factory reset the phone if the other things didn't work. It didn't fix it yet so I'll see what they come up with next.

No factory resetting my phone didn't work. HTC rang me back and said that I need to return it to who I bought it from. In other words no fix and returning certainly won't prove anything. I think I'll just have to wait it out until it is fixed with another update ... hopefully.
Or maybe we should looking at getting an app that provides the same functionality?

Have te same bug guys :/

I tried the factory reset too, to no avail. Seems like disabling the phone lock is the only solution, but that's not really what I would call a satisfactory solution, since I'm using a VPN on my phone and that requires a lock + I just don't want to go lock-free.
We need this issue to be known to HTC and hopefully a fix will come.
Ps I don't think this problem was present in the JB update, but only came in the small FW update that followed.

Yeah it only came in the small update after the JB update. But another problem that I'm having is that to turn my phone on via the power button, sometimes I have to press the power button three times. It doesn't always happen, but sometimes after the phone has been off for a while, I hit it once and nothing, hit it again, nothing and then on the third press it comes on. I'm not sure if they are related to the "quick" camera launch problem.

One work around for this bug, if you use your camera a lot, is to leave your camera in standby mode. That is turn your phone off while the camera is active and then when you hit the power button it will go straight to camera. I don't use this myself as I have the lock pattern on to prevent my phone from turning on in my pocket which is common on HTC phones

HTC support are a waste of space
I have this issue too. HTC told me to factory reset it, then when that didn't work they told me to return it to the store to be sent away for repair. They really don't have a clue at HTC support.
The phone was returned to Vodafone yesterday and the repair centre said "no fault found" What are they on!!! The Vodafone store confirmed the issue was still there.
I now have the phone back with no resolution.
Going to call Consumer and get some advice.

I have this problem too, quite annoying.

Can't use front camera... HELP!

Hi everyone,
I need help to sort out an issue about my front facing camera.
My phone is stock WWE version, I took the first OTA (1.54.401.5 I believe), then unlocked bootloader, rooted and installed ARHD 6.0.
Everything was working fine, then I flashed version 7.0 few days ago (without upgrading firware, as I'm one of the poor "Whelp" guys with firewater, so I couldn't get s-off) and now my front camera won't work. When I try to select it, camera application force closes and I'm back to homescreen. If I try to setup face unlock, I get a message saying sth like "Can't connect to front camera".
I've tried other ROMs like InsertCoin, same issue. Only way I could get it back to work again for a while was flashing Maximus HD.
I have NO IDEA what is going wrong here.
I doubt it is a hardware issue as everything has been working flawlessly for some weeks. So my question is, could it be a problem of ROM/firware version compatibility? Can keeping an "old" firmware cause this kind of issues?
Thanks a lot for your help!

right now, installing OTA (after going back to stock rom & recovery), hope things will get fixed...
I might be f***d for S-off since 1.54.xxx.10 patches the firewater exploit, but anyway...

I had similar issue after 2 months...my ffc 'disappeared' when I used a system info app to check hardware etc. and also noticed the duo effects stopped working...swiping to ffc in camera app didn't do anything either...weird...took to Sprint store and they verified and I had new phone sent in as replacement.

Thanks for your feedback...
afterfirmware update, same issue, on ARHD and even on Stock ROM 1.54.xxx.10. Started to think itwas a hardware issue, thinking of sending the phone in HTC warranty (although I unlocked the bootloader) then I tried to flash maximus HD 4.0 again and WOOSH, issue gone!! FFC works as it should again. STRANGE as hell.
If anyone has a clue on how to solve this...

I have the same problem, I flashed the MaximusHD and doesn't work:crying:

Hello,
What version of Maximus HD did you flash?
I used version 4.0.
Well, what is strange is that after a while I switched to ARHD 8.0, then 8.1. All went well until last weekend, boom, issue is here again.
I'm thinking of a few things :
- software issue cause by God knows what.
probably not as I have had the issue with many ROMS, whatever version I'm using when it pops up.
Might be other apps but issue remains with clean install...
- Other hardware issue not related to phone (SD card...)
probabbly not as I tried to remove SD card, restart phone, same issue.
- hardware issue with the FFC, coming and going. In that case, not much to do apart from trying to get an exchange model.
maybe...

You could S-OFF using Sunshine and then reflash everything from the beginning and see what happens. Also means you'll get the right firmware on your phone as well

Hi EddyOs, and thanks.
Yes, did S-Off when sunshine was released. I used it to install HK audio mod on ARHD 8.1
Issue only came back recently, and hasn't gone since...
I'm completely lost here. Can a hardware issue be temporary, go, and come back? Seems strange to me.

Well hit it with a hammer, if it still doesn't do anything then perhaps it wasn't hardware but software. :silly:
Seriously though, Yes hardware issues can "come and go" intermittently. I see that crap all the time at work.
Could try and completely start from scratch again and see if it helps like Eddy suggested, if it's a hardware problem then naturally it'll have to be sent back but luckly you have S-OFF so you can return to stock fully. Unlucky for you however, if the device gets exchanged then it means you'll have to fork out another $25 for S-OFF as it's a 1 phone only license

after five days, issue is gone. Now everything seems to work normally.
No hit, no drop, no shock whatsoever.
Now just waiting for the issue to come back...

I am also facing same issue..some1 Help,.
