Video recording not working anymore - Desire General

I've not been able to record video as of recently. I'm not exactly sure when it started, but I've tried out several froyo sense ROMs but recording didn't work on any of them.
When I open the camera app I am able to take photos but as soon as I choose video mode, the camera app becomes unresponsive and I'm only able to close (or hide) it by hitting the home button. The phone becomes very hot because the camera is still running in the background and I have to restart my phone.
I've updated to the latest radio (32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20). Also tried downgrading the radio (to 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08) but that didn't help either.

When you're changing ROMs, are you doing a full wipe/factory reset and wiping the cache?

Yepp, always wipe everything.

Okay.
Download the Pinky Desire v0.4 ROM (if it is still up) I know this ROM works find on video and 720p (As I am using it at the moment) also do a full reset of the phone and make sure you have a partition set on the SD card.
If it doesn't work then, try un-rooting the phone and put stock Froyo 2.2 on the phone.
If it is still broken after that - I would think hardware problem with the phone. Return it under warranty if that is the case? (Obviously leave a un-rooted, stock ROM on the phone when you take it back)
Good luck!

[Q] Weird errors on OFFICIAL 2.2 Froyo update? (Personal-Aregntina)

Hi. I know about the customs roms and the posibility of burn led torch. But I never flashed my phone (just rooting it), and this is the first time. I've downloaded the motorola update software, and waited to update. I've see that a sbf was flashed in the procedure (i have it archieved). Now, it works fine, but I've realized two things:
* I've lost the Stock 848*480 video recording (yes, In my stock rom that comes as default). Now the max is VGA (640x480).
* The flashlight torch doesn't work with Extended controls APP. When I activate it, the icon doesn't show the green status (green=on, otherwise=off). Why is this happening?
* The flashlight doesn't work on the Camcorder stock app. It says something like "The flashlight cannot be turned on in this mode". It works *ok* in the camera app.
Thanks.
(sorry for my poor english).
I won't be able to help you directly, but if I were you I would make a nandroid, than wipe cache and reinstall the update (onestly I would go for CM7 by Quarx and wait a few days till he fixes the video). Have a nice day.
try this
try a reset
shut down phone
power on+vol down
if it`s show an triangle with robot
then press again up and/or down buttons
till u get to recovery menu
wipe cahe
wipe data
good luck

[Q] LeeDroid HD V3.0.3 GB crash after install

Having trouble with the latest LeeDroid HD ROM have flashed many LeeDroid roms before without issue but for some reason aftering clearing all caches and running the latest rom it will install ok but on reboot it just hangs on the White HTC screen and won't boot in.
Any Ideas what could be causing it?
Currently Running LeeDroid HD v3.0.1, LeeDroid Kernel v3.1.1 radio 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2
Make sure you're deleting all data do a full factory reset (deletes all data does not actually restore to factory condition) then clear the dalvik cache, re apply the ROM make sure its CLEAN and you haven't modified it, don't apply any themes or anything, then let it boot and be patient.
Try downloading it again also it could be a corrupt download.

I had similar issue few days back. But i had the Leedroid rom (same rom,kernel as urs) already runing flawlessly for a few days. It decided just to hangs at the same HTC Screen... tried to clear caches(all), hard reset, reflash same rom... still stuck same place. I finally had to flash stock 1.32 image, root all over again, etc. ... and flash Leedroid (same) again... works fine now
I got the feeling that I made my friends with their stock DHD and Iphone users drooling and jealous of my phone(csutomised with sense 3.0 stuffs), and they collectively jinxed my phone, and had this crash! lolz
btw. i flashed SAME rom i had on my sdcard, so I think the rom fine(mine at least). just something triggered that crash!
all the best...
Yea i tried reflashing from stock rom the other day loaded up one of the RUU exe's and rerooted etc and tried to reflash with no luck so i'm all out of ideas

Have also done factory reset and cleared dalvik cache etc. no joy
Just managed to find a copy of LeeDroid HD V3.0.2 have installed and found it also crashes but.... it gets to the LeeDroid Android screen, little further but unfortunately still crashes
Managed to get 3.0.3 working on my DHD turns out it was just down the cwm version i had, updated to 3.0.2.5 and boom worked first time =D only problem i have had with both 3.0.1 and 3.0.3 is the camera keeps dropping out, app doesn't force close but the screen keeps going black and all buttons dissapear then all comes back... =( Atleast i'm up to date though
Any Idea's on the Cam issue?
have run logcat and noticed the following in the log
W/mm-camera( 1400): config_proc_CAMERA_STOP_SNAPSHOT: state is not correct ctrl->state = 25 W/mm-camera( 1400): VFE_RESET_ACK illegal ctrl->state 24
dunno if that makes any sense to anyone
tinkered with it a little last night didn't seem to make a difference so left it over night and for some odd reason works fine this morning i think the issue was down the camera app itself but it looks to be working fine now thankfully
UPDATE:
Ok looks like the issue is still there found out what is causing it thought, the camera works fine but...only when wifi is off, if you turn wifi back on you get the same issue as before,
Please anyone got an idea on wtf?
UPDATE2: have worked out it must be the camera app due to the fact i download a different app which appeared to work fine. Not sure why there's a glitch though

[Q] About factory reset

Hi,
I'm having problems with video recording in CM7.1 RC1.5 and cannot record anything, although photos work fine. I've tried clearing camera cache without success so i'm thinking of doing a factory reset.
If i factory reset, and see that the camera works, can i then restore Data via CWM without issues?
Edit: I've fixed the video problem. When i installed GTAIII i changed libstagefright.so (to fix blackscreen issue). I put back the original one.
I'm still interested in a reply though, one day i may want to factory reset, but losing my apps and appdata is bugging :/ (Tit. Backup doesn't allways do a neat job)
instead to do a factory reset try to install another ROM like CM9.

[Q] AT&T GS3 Freezing and Rebooting after Stock JB Update / Rooting (LONG)

Help! My phone is freezing / locking up and rebooting several times a day now!
I successfully did the stock AT&T Jellybean update this week when it became available via Kies.
I had no issues with the initial upgrade…it seemed to go smooth.
After a day…or a few hours….I can’t remember…I did start noticing a few issues with Touch Wiz closing or freezing and some other apps misbehaving. I can’t even remember what exactly the issues were.
I was also having some other quirky issues with the phone on stock ICS before the JB update…so I have been meaning to do a factory reset and reinstall everything.
So with the phone being even more flakey with JB I went ahead and did a factory reset with my new JB setup.
After a few hours setting up the phone with all my apps, settings, etc I noticed two issues. Swiftkey would not remain selected as my default keyboard and AT&T Voicemail viewer would not retain any of my account settings after a reboot.
After some Googling I learned that this is a know issue with JB 4.1.1 for many apps…they don’t quite install properly and something happens during shutdown that causes the settings to be lost. The only work around seemed to be:
Root Phone
Install apps
Backup with Titanium or other backup program
Uninstall apps
Restore apps – then they somehow install properly and work
I did this…first time rooting the phone….and the root and work around worked perfectly first time.
But after continuing to install apps and tweak my phone the real problems have now begun.
The phone is completely freezing at random times…in any app or in the TW launcher. It seems to just sit there frozen until I hold down the power key long enough to force a reboot or take out the battery.
There are no force closes or other error messages and I have found no other pattern to the freezes.
So now the phone is almost totally useless. It may work for a few hours…or just a few minutes before locking up. Worse…I have no way to know this has happened if the phone is in my pocket.
I did another full factory reset using the Recovery Mode and reinstalled everything again and am having the same issues.
I fear the root somehow corrupted my phone or one of my apps is totally incompatible with JB but I have to many (~70) it will be very hard to tell which one.
The other issue I am having is the battery is draining in just 4-5 hours even with light use.
Coincidentally….4G LTE was just turned on in my area this week so that would be a factor in both the battery drain and maybe even the lockups. I have a Microcell at home…wondering if 4G LTE and my Microcell are not behaving.
There are just too many variables with a new ROM (JB), fresh rooting of the phone plus recovery app installed, plus 70+ apps, plus new 4G LTE, plus my Microcell.
I don’t know what to try next to get the phone stable or to get the battery use reasonable.
Please post any and all suggestions….
One thing I’d like to clear up or eliminate is the root issue…is there any way that is the cause of my phone’s current problems?
What a mess of a week! Instead of the total awesomeness of JB, 4G LTE, and the fresh experience of using a rooted phone...all happening for me in the same week...I get a total headache and useless phone. Sure hope I can dig my way out of this.
Thanks for reading my long post!
I'd say to flash stock rooted official jellybean from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625 i'd then do a Hard Factory reset *2767*3855# then you can install apps that are compatible with jb but not the app data and see how the phone is. also, for signal issues, try using a different modem located herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898

Thanks for the ideas....had not heard of the "Hard Factory reset *2767*3855#"....how is that different from a factory restet initiated from winthing Android or from the recovery program?
Also - is there any quick / easy way to know which of my apps are supposed to be compatible with JB?
Sure will be a pain to reconfigure everything again.
Should I be safe installing my apps via Titanium backup restores? (as long as I don't restore data)
Also - what about restoring my IMs and call logs from Kies? Is that safe?

Do you happen to have juice defender? I had the same problem, and noticed it only happened when I was on battery. I uninstalled that and it stopped rebooting.

Nope....juice defender...
And my phone doesn't really seem to be rebooting....just freezing up. I have to force it to reboot by holding down the power button for 10 seconds.
About to try a fresh factory ROM install (pre-rooted) and a hard factory reset.
Then I'll add my apps back very slowly to see....
What a pain in the you know what!

Well...I did all that...and no luck. Still freezing up.
I could not actually do the exact *2767*3855# reset...the phone would not respond to that command. So I used CWM to format the SDCard and also did a factory reset there.
Reinstalled my apps carefully and without data restore...boom....phone is locking up all the time again after maybe 12 hours of good operation.
Either this build of JB is not working on my phone or it somehow got fubar'ed during that first upgrade.
My plan now is to restore to factory ICS un-rooted....reset the flash counter if possible....and return the phone under warranty if possible.
Any recommendations for this?
Got replacement phone - still freezing up!

HELP!!!! Please!!!!!
I did a warranty RMA and got a new (refurbed) phone from AT&T. I set it up with stock ICS and it seemed to work fine. I installed CWM without rooting via ODIN and did a Nandroid backup. I then used CWM to load TWRP recovery and did a backup with that.
Then I loaded the stock JB room with root. Tweaked the phone and app settings a little and things seemed to be fine for 1/2 a day. I reinstalled TWRP since the ROM flash replaced it with stock recovery. Things still seemed fine.
So...with JB rooted and seeming to work fine....I booted into Recovery (TWRP) and did a fresh Nandroid backup since the phone was finally all configured and working (apparently).
Well after rebooting from the backup...the phone is acting all crazy again. It seemed to crash my home WiFi network....had to reboot my router. Now the phone freezes or locks up any time I disable WiFi or change WiFi settings.
I am just cursed with the GS3!
Two separate phones with stock AT&T JB with root...one running CWM Touch and the new one running TWRP and both lock up or freeze all the time.
Should I give up and try custom ROMs? Give up on rooting?
I want TouchWiz for SBeam and some of the Samsung apps that I like better than stock...would rather just stay stock with Root.
What can I do to get this phone stabilized with root and JB???
Just did another test...
If I leave my house and walk a couple hundred yards away...as soon as the phone finally loses the WiFi signal and disconnects it locks up.
Seems like all my issues (with first phone maybe too) are tied to WiFi.
Is no one else having WiFi issues with JB? Could it be tied to rooting somehow? For instance...maybe the stock rooted ROM has different modem or WiFi drivers...or different kernel than the actual stock JB ROM I first used via Kies update?

I've got the KIES JB Update, & rooted. I am not experiencing any of the issues your having. It might be helpful if you could post a list of apps & widgets that you have installed, If you have frozen or removed stock files.
It sounds like you may be experiencing some app conflict issues.

Having the exact same problems as you. Please help. I'm also considering giving the phone back at Best Buy and having them give me a new one with ICS and leaving ICS on there. My steps are very simple. I had the stock ICS ROM from AT&T and I used Kies to upgrade to stock JB. That's it, nothing else, no rooting, nothing.
I am seeing exactly the same behavior, when wifi switches to 4G or even sometimes when bluetooth comes on, etc I will see the lockup and hang. Have to hold down power button to restart. But I don't think this is completely the issue, because even if I turn off wifi, bluetooth and only leave on 4G, then I still will see random reboots, but a lot lot less frequent. Also, I have always had 4G and I see the battery only lasting 4-6 hrs, so I think this is normal with 4G. I saw this even with ICS.
I have not done any factory reset or anything - I would assume if you use the Kies s/w to update and it leaves your files and apps on there, then it should just work. But I will try the factory reset once I backup my contacts, etc.
I'm a little shocked that people are having this problem with a newly released ROM.

After several re-flashes to stock JB with root and still more freezing with WiFi, etc....I gave up and loaded a custom ROM this morning.
I'm running BlackJelly...and after about 8 hours it seems be be running great so far. It is TW JB-based...and having very few issues with it. Battery is poor but it takes a few days of charging and use I guess to get the battery / phone / ROM calibrated. AT&T Visual Voicemail is not working and the phone shows H instead of 4G LTE...but I'm sure I can fix those issues by searching through the hundreds of thread pages on that ROM is this forum.
Give it a try before you switch to ICS or trade in the phone. You can always flash back to stock un-rooted and use Triangle Away to reset flash counter.
Good luck!
Still stuck with crashing phone!

I can't tell if the phone is re-booting itself or just re-launching the Launcher (I us Nova but tried stock and Apex too). The phone appears to re-boot on it's own but the up-time under status would not reset...making it seem like not a re-boot but a launcher reload or something. Pretty much same issues as with stock JB.
So I gave up and tried CM10.1 nightlies....and wow....crashing all the time now. Whereas stock JB and BlackJelly seemed to crash when I left my home or left any WiFi network or even just when I disabled WiFi while connected....CM10.1 crashes all the time while at home seemingly at random. I can get 5 hours of great use...then have it crash 5 times in an hour. Seems to crash a lot in the settings menus.
This is with my second (replacement) phone. I am just cursed!
How do I effectively use a LogCat app or something to find out what apps or services or whatever are crashing my phone? Help!
Read through this whole thread and no where did you ever mention clearing your cache. Clear your system cache/davlik cache and reboot.

Sorry...should have mentioned that. I've cleared the system and davlik cache many times...before and after flashing. I've done full system wipes / resets, formatted my SD card...everything I can think of.
I either have a rouge app that I seem to install right away after clean flashes....or a rouge Wifi router in my house that messes up my phone even when I leave and use other networks...or a rouge ATT&T microcell that does the same....or a rogue LTE area in West Michigan....
Or a second bad phone sent from AT&T. But no form of JB seems to work for me no matter what. Guess I could run a clean install with no apps for several days...and then add in an app a day for the next 2+ months until I find the bad app...if that is even the case.
So bummed with this mess!

Interesting....that might be what I was experiencing....but I never thought that was it....did not notice that cause/effect.
I gave up and went back to stock / rooted ICS / TW...version LH9. Loaded it yesterday and have had 24 hours of great use...no issues.
I miss JB and Google Now...but at least my phone works!
I'm not sure for stock JB but on other ROMs, you could try changing your governor and scheduler.

When on CM10.1 I tried bumping the minimum CPU speed to 484 and 5xx (can't remember the actual numbers)....and the maximum CPU speed to to 14xx and 13xx (again, can't remember)....and this did not help.
Not sure if that is what you meant tho.
Anyway...I gave up and went back to rooted stock ICS (LH9) and the phone is working great. I've given up on JB for now. I will wait for a new major JB release from Samsung before I try again.

Q: The phone keeps freezing when I go into landscape mode.
A: This has been covered many times in the thread, but to reiterate: If you are using the AOSP lockscreen you must disable "Ripple Effect" in Settings -> Lock Screen -> Lock Screen Options

[Q] Can a ROM kill the camera?

I had a perfectly working Galaxy Nexus running CM10.x, which I updated to a CM11 nightly. This worked great for a week or so and then the camera and gallery started FCing. After several resets, restores, newer/older nightly installs, nothing changed. Tried all possible combinations of new/old Gapps, but still no luck. I tried different ROMs - PA, stock 4.3 and some others, but nope. I even tried Ubuntu Touch and even that couldn't access the camera. This is when I was pretty convinced that the camera module itself must have died.
My questions:
What killed the camera? Is it possible that a bad ROM could have done it?
Is it possible to fix this via software?
I can try and get it repaired locally, but I just want to know if anything can be done at home.
Thanks.

A ROM wouldnt just kill the camera over time. It would have not worked right after the ROM was installed. So I doubt it was a ROM. I would do a full reset. Not just a normal factory reset but flash the factory image and see if it fixes it. If it doesn't then most likely it's a hardware issue.

I've used the phone for over a year without any issues with several kernels and ROMs before and the camera worked just fine.
Yes, I've done a complete clean up - I wiped the whole phone and memory (using the fastboot -w option) and installed different ROMs and even a different OS (Ubuntu Touch), but the camera issue persists.
I believe it's hardware issue, but I just wanted to know if anyone's faced a similar problem.

Yup. I believe that's the exact post I referred to when I did it.
It even lost root during this process (of course) and I had to do it again - something I hadn't done in almost two years.
Since it was a spare phone, there wasn't any useful data on it. I backed up a few pictures and completely wiped it clean. No luck.
I'll add that the issue is only with the camera. Some apps FC, some apps (such as Camera+) give a message saying it was unable to connect to the camera or something. I believe the Gallery also FCs because it uses the camera at some point. All other apps work perfectly fine.

Usually if the phone has any issues at all, that process fixes them. And if it doesn't, then there is usually something wrong with the hardware. I wouldn't think the problem was brought on by installing a ROM or kernel though.
I think it's related to the kernel that you're using
......
i think yes but if you change the rom it will work
some roms the camera has some bugs big bugs colors are broken and stuff
