Camera issue - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

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.

Any lost or stolen app that also blocks hard 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.

I missed the part were it said that you could set it to were the only way they can un install it is by flashing a different ROM,,but that setting is for rooted phones,I'm completely stock and not sure if I want to root this phone,

Check out Android Lost, it does alot of those things as well. Relies on push messaging too, so its very light. You can take a picture on demand, turn on GPS and get location, download texts/emails, etc.

Yea it would, also it would be tight if Samsung had in app like that already installed, that way even with a master reset you'll still be able to find your $700 + phone lol, I haven't lost one yet (knock on wood) but still very nervous of loosing it, ill give android lost a try,

After I got my phone I left the box on the train with all the accessories lol. It can happen!
I'm trying to use Android Lost,, but I can't get the gps remotely to turn on when it's off,
So maybe Cerberus might be better, I might have to give that one a try,

Android lost is free and its king of this kind of apps. Nothing is even close. Go get it try come back and hit thanks.

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.

it looks good, although cerberus seems just as good and its already installed. I tested cerberus and its flawless. I guess there's no harm in having both though!

Instagram Problem.

For some reason, I was trying to put up a picture that I recently took from my S4, but it kept getting messed up, one was with black background and the whole picture was black. that's all. Then one was white so it was pixelated. So I told my friend to put it up and i Sent him it and he put it up on my account with no problem. Are any of you guys facing this problem? And if so any solutions?
Just sent a picture I took earlier through, came out fine for me. Did you use the instagram camera or the built in one?
I had the same problem... tried posting a pic of the galaxy s4 box and a black pixelated picture kept coming up

Same case.
There is an update, but I think it was more so for international users mostly. When in doubt, delete app and reinstall, that would be my suggestion, reboot if needed first.

Try another pic of the same or something black, see what happens. If it happens, maybe something wrong with color recognition, doesn't this device have a setting for RGB in there somewhere? Too new now to know of common problems, good thing for warranty and forums like XDA !
Tried alot, and IDK and yes thank for warranties and XDA

Sorry I couldn't be of much help, if it is just isolated to Instagram only, it may be app/device incompatibility would be my bets guess. However, with it running 4.2.2, that almost makes me think it is on the apps dev side. An update from Instagram may resolve it, or email dev of app.
Ever since update I'm getting the same thing

Can you two provide a pic? I am on 4.2.2. (mind you, also on a SGS2), and I updated IG and I am not experiencing this. It may be device related, ruling out 4.2.2, but again, I am AOKP, not TW. Root that bad boy, the devs will have great ROMs for this beast of a phone.

But I am guessing that is the non pixelated image? I have seen that on two different compters so far, it looks normal to me.
Ran it through, came out fine? There was an app update today FYI.

Buttons not functioning

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?

Started happening on ascension oblivion after about 3 weeks of using the ROM. Switched to chillybeans cm10.1 to see if that would fix it but no luck. I have also tried doing a few full wipes and reinstalling both ROMs.
Thinking about going back to stock to see if that fixes it, but really don't want to.

Look up liblights fix. works for me every time. flash in recovery boot go into terminal emulator
type

n choose zero
type "reboot" (no quotes)https://www.dropbox.com/s/cxg5emnjhhsc7bh/Lights_Library_Config.zip
Turning them on didn't seem to fix my issue. However turning them off completely and using the navbar in cm 10.1 is working for me for now. Thanks for the tip.
Is it possible that the buttons not working is a hardware issue?

Do you have a screen protector on? I've never heard of em having issues though sorry to say.. of course i twist mine a little side to side outta boredom.. Semi take it apart you might have dust or dirt in there
No, don't have a screen protector on. I haven't heard of them not working either. Unfortunately, my phone is my only source of internet access for the next few days. So its not easy to do much research.

Camera Troubles..

So my camera seems to have stopped working properly. I don't believe it's a software issue. What happens is I fire up the camera and the screen will either remain black (while still being able to navigate camera options) or the camera will pop up and then the viewfinder will stop after a few seconds.
At first I figured it was software so I cleared the cams cache and data. No luck. Then I decided to flash a different ROM. I tried CM, and Dans GPE rom and no luck. Anyone got any ideas?
You could try replacing the back facing camera.
I did this on my last s4. (Ordered an oem part off a different s4).
It didn't fix my problem, however. At the time people were telling me it was a software problem.
In my case flashing some of the cyanogen nightlies when they were having some trouble with the company that makes the focal camera.
Long story short.
I called T-Mobile. They sent me another s4.

In play store search "google camera ",try installing and run. If it functions profit, if not then it most likely is hardware related.
