Has anybody else had an issue with the camera view having multi colored lines and the it freezes. Sometimes if I do it fast enough I can take the picture and it looks great. I am all stock btw and it has been doing this straight out of the box.

Clear data on camera app and let me know if it continues
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
yeah, it still continues after i clear data. tried a factory reset and it still continues. just rooted and im gonna install another rom to see it my factory camera app was somehow corrupted. i dont think its a hardware issue, but i guess we will find out.
Edit: Still does it. If i force stop the camera app after it freezes and try to reopen it, it will just pop up with the camera symbol then instantly close.

Try a different camera app perhaps?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
Sounds like a software issue i would root and try a different camera app like knipp suggested you could also try adb pushing a new camera app if you dont want to root but keep a backup of your original if you go that route. Or try one from the market im not positive but I think they may rely on the stock app
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
If it's still doing it with another ROM it's a hardware issue and you need to return while under warrentee still.
The ones from the market dont work, i do think that they rely on the stock camera. besides the ones from the market, i dont know what to try.
Edit: I did try 2 different roms, one with stock kernel and one with custom kernel and it still does it. Guess im gonna have to unroot and bring it back to Verizon. Would they give me a new one right there or do you think i would have to wait for them to mail me another one, i bought it brand new and have only had it since friday. Been doing this right out of the box.
They will most likely mail you a new one with a box to mail the Old one back in

I am very pleased with my local Verizon store today. I went in and told them the problem and without any hassle they opened up their cabinet and handed me a brand new box. Camera works great on this one and I am a happy camper.
Edit: they also gave me a $50 mail in rebate on top of the discounts that I already got online.

I believe that once you've done your first hard reboot on this phone the UI becomes permanently jumpy/choppy/laggy. Anyone?

No lag here after 2 reboots. One of which was pulling the battery after turning the phone off to get the serial number.

By hard reboot I mean VolUp+Power. I'm not talking about powering off the phone.

that's technically a factory / ROM reset back to default
Exactly my point. It should be stutter free by default, right?

Dude, it's different from Factory Data Reset. It doesn't erase affect your setup. Ok. How about a simple reboot - just by holding power button. Can you do that and tell me what happens?

My routine to make it relatively smooth: Power Off / Power on while holding VolUp+Power and waiting for it to vibrate a couple of times / Turn off display animations / Turn off wallpaper scrolling.

When you hard reboot it actually factory resets the data the reason its lagging cause its reinstalling all the Bloatware Tmobile put on it. So you need at least 5-7 minutes.
Ive already done a hard reset on my phone after receiving it and the reason was i had a issue with music on my sd card. I dont see the lag you speak of. If its persistent then get it replaced. I have no issues as of yet with the phone and its running great. My only slight issue is battery but that is most likely due to bloat.

Have done plenty of normal reboots via the power button (power off then power on) and pulling the battery. Mine is still quite a bit more snappy than the Vibrant it replaced.
Can somebody smash their phone for me and let me know if its damaged after? It seems all phones are damaged after they're smashed.
Seriously op, if you know it messes up the phone, why ask others to do it? Why would anybody do that anyways? Seems pointless.

I've smashed mine several times, one of which was even a sledgehammer dropped from a 3-story building right onto the glass. no damage here, it's actually less damaged than my MT4G was fresh out of the box
Sorry, just had to post the other side of things too lol
When I was using my phone today, I noticed that a long press on the power button was shutting down the phone instead of bringing up the menu. Then, I realized that I had also lost my lock screen, which I really hadn't noticed because I don't use the pattern lock. Turns out, even if I enabled the pattern lock, password, or PIN, using the power button still took the phone straight into the home screen.
I don't know if it was an bug in a random app, malware, or what... I spent a lot of time searching for an answer on what might have caused it, but didn't find anything really helpful. I started deleting all my recent apps, but couldn't get the lock screen back, so I ended up restoring the phone to factory settings and starting from scratch.
The only reason I'm posting about it is that I'm not entirely sure what caused it... I'm debating the possibility that it could it could be a touchwiz bug. Anyone else ever run into this?

Yes, its a known bug. I just ran into the bug today and I refuse to do a factory reset to fix the issue since its just gonna happen again. Samsung should be able to fix it with a simple software update.

Ah, that would explain it... I was tearing out my hair trying to figure out what I had done. Funny thing is, I don't even *like* having a lock screen. I was just bothered by the fact something was wrong...
How did you find out that it's a known bug? I must have been phrasing my search poorly, because I couldn't find squat about the issue.
Still, whether I like the screen lock or not, I think this is a pretty decent security bug, considering it removes the ability to lock the phone...

I know because I seen it under "list of known issues". If you scroll down a few post you'll find it. The downside to not having a lockscreen is that if you receive a text message your phone will automatically unlock and you may accidentally dial someone if the phone is in your pocket.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WITH THE LOCKSCREEN ISSUE I ADVISE USING A 3RD PARTY LOCKSCREEN. I AM CURRENTLY USING "AGILE LOCKSCREEN" (WHICH CAN BE FOUND IN THE ANDROID MARKET). I AM USING THE PRO VERSION, BUT THE FREE ONE WILL DO THE JOB ALSO.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Mine's gone too.... Now that we have root I've a nandroid backup which I believe still had the lockscreen and will try restoring from that. If that doesn't work then I guess I'll do a master reset and restore from Titanium Backup. Hopefully Clockwork Recovery will survive the master reset...
I thought that was just me yesterday so I did a master reset

I found a few apps that tracks your phone down or even takes pictures of the person trying to unlock it, but like the title says, is there any app that blocks hard reset? It's kind of pointless if your phone gets stolen if they can just shut the phone off and do a hard reset to it and sign in with there email,
Thanks :-D

I guess in theory you could place an app like Seekdroid in the system folder and then do a hard reset. Usually a hard reset won't affect system apps.

you can't really avoid physical maneuvers. and anything baked into the phone's startup has to be a modification to the actual ROM. so no.

This is how I got around the GPS toggle not working:
Since AndroidLost.com allows you to send texts, I have setup a tasker profile which waits for a text that says "androidlost" and if it receives it, it enables GPS.

Anyone ever have the home, menu, back, and search keys not function properly? Doesn't seem to be an issue with the ROM as I have tried a couple and have the problem on both all of a sudden.
By not function properly, I mean not function at all. Hitting those buttons has no effect.
Any ideas?
