[Q] Camera not working!! - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just re downloaded the kinged shooter rom because the the camera wasnt working. It still doest work after reinstalling it. I didnt read any bugs with the rom so I installed [ROM] Synergy - [RLS1+GodMode 08/05/2011] - Now With Warm Sprinkles! I tried the camera and still doesnt work. Any suggestions?? Thanks...

What happens? Force close, black screen, won't open?
Does it happen on the stock rom?

sorry...Before I had a rooted stock rom and it worked fine.. Since I flashed a rom it doesnt work. It doesnt come on...black screen..

Are you sure it's the rom? Have you tried a nandroid restore of when it worked to rule out a hardware issue?
Also, are you doing a full wipe when you flash a new rom? If you're not wiping thoroughly or if you're restoring system data with Titanium Backup then it could cause issues.

I dont think its the rom anymore since I put 2 different rooms on there and its doing the same thing. I did do a full wipe and I did back a backup of the stock rom...

If it's happening across all roms even after wiping fully, then it's probably a hardware problem. I guess it's just a coincidence that you flashed the rom & it stopped working.
You'll need to unroot & take it to Sprint for a replacement.

[Q] Cameras do not work after the Froyo update.

Hi folks,
I updated my EVO to Froyo yesterday. Now both of the front and back cameras are not working. I can not open any app that use the cameras. Just want to know does anyone have the same problem? I have tried to restart my EVO a few times, but no luck. How I can solve the problem?
Thanks in advance.
I have the same problem or at least a similar one. Camera app force closes after update. Running omj's latest 2.2 w the custom kernel

Did u do the official ota update? The one directly from HTC via your phone or did u use a custom Rom from the forum? If you where running stock Rom before the official update then am not sure why the cams would not work.
If ur phone is rooted and you're running a custom Rom then it may be the Rom. In that case check the Rom thread to see if there were any issue with the Rom. Try wiping data, etc and flash a different Rom if possible.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I did the update via the official update. I have not rooted my EVO yet, so I think I am still on the original Rom.
I had a problem when running the netarchy kernel 3.7.6c, with the Froyo updates. Camera's worked fine, but as soon as I changed the resolution settings (From "3mp") the cameras would continually force close. I had to wipe cache and Dalvik (Left Data alone) and re-flash the ROM. This "Reset" the camera settings, and the camera has been working fine since.
Maybe re-flashing the ROM may work for other people as well.
I did an "Factory data rest" under "SD and Phone storage" and now I can use the cameras again. The cost is that I lost all the apps I downloaded, which is OK. I will reinstall them. It seems like an app I installed caused the the problem.

Cant use txt or other google apps with Syndicate ROM

I have been using the syndicate rom for months to perfection, love it. But I was using the wifi tether and suddenly my phone restarted. After it booted up the sms, google talk and email app will not work; I open them and they force close all the time.
What can I do?
Thanks.
restore a backup or reflash.. and post in the correct section
Moved to Q&A. And wipe data to fix it.
Thanks.
Sorry for not posting in the correct area.
I reflashed the rom and it syill gives me the problem. Guess I will have to wipe then reflash the rom?
If I do a rom backup, and restore that one, will I have the same errors?
Yes... Happen to me twice... Make backups weekly is your only hope. It reboots and nothing work again. After two reboot more it stops in the acs loading screen

that happened to me too. what fixed it for me was to odin to dk28 and use a rom from there im still using truly epic rebirth for dk28 and haven't even thought of switching to and eb13 or ec05 rom
Acs backs up data when you reflash, and puts it back on.. therefore returning the corrupt data.. so you have to wipe data before reflashing or you'll be in the same boat. I always format system and data before flashing a rom just to make sure. Do regular nandroid backups and mybackup root or titanium backups if you are going to run a no journals rom

Thanks to all.
I fixed it.
I had to boot into CWM and fix permissions there. What I don't get is that I did the "fix permissions" through Rom Manager...so what's the difference?
If that didn't work then I would've had to wipe/reflash.
Hope this helps someone else with the same problem.
Rom manager doesn't work with the epic.

Wifi not working :/ help?

Basically everything is in the title. My wifi just doesn't work, I can't connect anywhere! using a lot of data on things that I could really be using wifi for. I've tried different rom's including the latest nightly cm7, the problem started on nightly 48 latest being 50. I'm now using miui and the problem still occurs. Anyone got any idea?

Look like every roms not work with WIFI for you and is this only issues from custom rom? Have you wipe the data/cache in your quest of finding the root cause? How about retail untouch stock rom.
Before sending it back to the store for repair. Could you try flashing retail stock rom to your Defy original state and wipe it in stock recovery. See if it work again and report back.
I assumed you know all the steps of downgrading, flashing and recovery things yourself.

[Q] Broken 4g and Wifi, please help!

I've got an evo 4g, I've been rooted for about a year. i flashed cm7.1 and it was running for about 3 months and last week wifi and 4g just stopped working. i used rsa checker to check my keys and they're still there. i think the problem is my ip address. its unavailable on wifi and 4g. i dont really know where to look. can someone point me in the right direction?
Did you just flash a new kernel?
Try flashing Tiamat... see what happens.
i just flashed savaged zen, but that was after the problem. i reflashed clockwork again, as well as cm7 again. how do i update my ip address? i think thats the prroblem. by telling you i already flashed a kernel, do u think it will help? how?

Just flash Tiamat and see what happens. This is almost definitely kernel related. Make sure you wipe dalvik cache and cache (preferably with Amon RA or TWRP recoveries).
I love you man, I'm talking serious bromance! Can you explain why that worked? Did my old kernel go bad? Thank u so much!

it broke again, I flashed again. It didn't come back.

Try a different version of CM7. You can also try an entirely different rom for troubleshooting purposes. Generally 4G & wifi issues stem from the kernel. Are you flashing any mods or running anything that makes system changes, like V6 Supercharger? If you're using V6, undo the kernel tweaks.
Best bet is to flash a different version of CM7, even if you have to downgrade. Do a full wipe - data, cache, dalvik, system, boot, SD-ext, .android_secure - and flash only the rom and gapps. Try 4G & wifi before restoring anything. If they work, you can then restore anything you've backed up with TB, just try to avoid restoring system apps/data. If the problem comes back then it may be something in one of your apps or the data you've restored... though unlikely.
If this doesn't work, do a full wipe again and flash a fully stock rooted rom. Update your radios etc with the combo zip. If that fails, RUU.
There are plenty of options, but I don't think you'll have to go as far as running an RUU. Start from the top and work your way down.

[Q] Camera stopped working???

The camera on my Girlfriend's Evo stopped working all the sudden. If you go to it, it shows though the lens but wont take a picture and wait/force close screen pops up, tried wiping and reinstalling, same stuff. She's on CM7
Try flashing to a sense rom. That,sometimes helps. Try redownloading the rom again. Could be a bad download.

This. I'd flash either Sense, or at least a different ROM to see if it's hardware or ROM dependent. Could have just corrupted the ROM somehow. Just reflash it. I've had a few data problems and such which were easily fixed with just reflashing my current ROM.
Hey,
My dads evo camera is going and its just a software issue but he is running a unrooted stock sense so it might just be a glitch! back up your important stuff, and boot into recovery wipe data on the phone and wipe your cache and davlik cache and try re flashing the rom, or I would personally switch to a differnt rom, ASOP are nice but always give my evo trouble.
Good luck!
hit the thanks if I helped, please and thank you!
