[Q] About factory reset - Defy General

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.

Video recording not working anymore

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!

camera and flash problem!

Hi,
my desire camera is giving me problems lately.first after flashing various froyo roms(miui,oxygen and defrost),the flash would go off randomly,be it surfing web,playing games,messaging etc.Now the camera would sometimes not work and an error msg saying not responding and would need to force close.If it works,the flash will not go off even it is set to flash on.Now the torch app is not working either.the flash light would not on.
I read that 2.2 have this camera problem.does anyone had similar problem like me?
Did u wipe when installing a new rom?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
i always wipe data/factory reset and wipe dalvik cache.
now my camera seems to work..but still no flash....hw fault?
I think I read somewhere that booting up without sim and sd card fixed it for a other guy. A little far-fetched but it might work.

[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] n7105 tock android 4.3 nordic: bluetooth problems

Hello everybody,
I'm running the latest stock Android 4.3 on a rooted Note 2 with CWM installed. What happens is that when I use the phone to make or receive phone calls (streaming music is ok instead) in my car (but I experienced the same problem in another car) the Bluetooth all of a sudden goes off and I need to either turn the screen on or toggle the bluetooth button.
Any idea on how to fix it?
Thank you,
Davide
Hi! Have you tried a Factory Reset? It will wipe your phone clean, so back-up your stuff first. Come back after with the results, maybe this will fix the Bluetooth issue.

Actually I wanted to avoid that...
Okay, so let's try something else first and see where it leads: Go to CWM and make a Nand Backup. Then wipe your Cache and Dalvik Cache. Reboot and test. Most probably this will not solve, but it's worth trying. Get back in CWM and this time wipe Data + Dalvik + Cache (Factory Reset basically). Boot and test. If not working, you can restore the Nand Backup to get back your apps and data. If it is working, well, lucky you, you'll have a great time installing all your apps back

[Q] Camera Flash Stopped Working

Well let's find out if it is a software issue or hardware issue. Backup your current ROM, then wipe data, flash a new rom and see if it works. If it doesn't it's hardware issue.

i already reformat everything and reflash.... it was fine till one point it started again. what i did next, i tried to fix permission in TWRP and it works!!! i wonder which permission causes the flash to stop working.... i had to fix permissionb everytime it stopped working....
anyone knows any way of which i can actually see what or which thing that causes the break??
