[Q] Green screen when camera is being used. - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Everything works properly on my phone, except the camera. Sometimes when I try to take a picture of something, the part of the display showing what the camera is looking at turns green. Check out the screenshot to see what it looks like.
I don't think this is a CM9 related issue. I have dropped my phone quite a few times. Sprint won't even touch my phone because it's rooted and I flashed CM9. I searched around on the forums and found that this may be an issue with the "push on the camera connecter being loose" but I'm not sure and don't plan to open up my phone unless I know exactly what to do. Could this be hardware failure or something else?

Its most likely voodoo color related from what was told to me.

+ 1. If voodoo color settings are outta wack it'll cause green screens. If that doesn't fix the issue Odin back to stock update to stock EL30 and then take it to sprint.
Also sprint can deny working on the phone if their is physical damage done from dropping it. Example: scratches and dents on the sides of the phone.

i had the same problem and it just went away with my last flash and restore. running blazer rom's last update (before 1/5/12).
think it had something to do with ADW launcher *or some part of blazer* theming if i had to guess which two apps may have caused, tho i couldn't pinpoint.
fear of a the bug recurring scare me, i like stock browser best. yet i actually tried opera/dophin/uc browser...
are you running adw or blazer? just curious.

just a theory here that this is a bug in stock browser;
i initially had the problem in blazer 3.4 but fixed in a reflash.
you had problem in stock but fixed with a new flash to blazer.
anyway it's cool we fixed it one way or another... wonder what if there is a broader general issue?

I wonder why you and I were the only people who had this problem, however, there could be more. Maybe a ref lashing of the rom does the trick. Thanks Bro!

So effing annoying: I feel like I'm being violated ugghhh I hate this glitch! Cleared cache and data... will try yo reflash in the AM and report back.

a reflash of blazer (and the modified kernel) still haven't fixed the issue. i'm using dolphin browser as a temp workaround, really don't feel like going thru a factory reset for this bull****. any other suggestions? this seriously drives me insane!!!

I'm not having any issues with ICS. You should only be getting that issue with JellyBean ROMS.

I know you guys are looking for ways to eliminate flickering on cm9 but the cm10 flickering issue has many different solutions. I am quite sure they can be attempted on cm9 as well. First off though I think you guys should list what you have done to remedy the situation so people just don't inform you of what you already tried.

That's the thing.. its an issue with cm9 itself. I've tried disabling gpu rendering, flashing that useless gpu mod, fully wiping with both trwp and cwm6 touch.. not sure what else I can do.

Interesting... I just flashed cm9 9-30 nightly last night and i don't experience this screen flickering, or at least i'm not noticing it if it's happening.
I'm using sk8's cwm6.0.1.4 and I just followed the instructions on TC's webpage. And I just came from erick's cm10 9-28 nightly. Don't know if this'll help, but that's what I did and I don't see any screen flickering. What's the best way to reproduce this issue? I can try and report back if I see it or not.

Go into your settings, pull your notifications down half way then swipe them back up. The screen should flicker black.

Yup, I'm also seeing a small flicker as well. I couldn't get it reproduced every time, but if I played around with the notification pull down about half way and then swiped them back up, the screen does flicker black.
Is it only from settings that you see this? I tried from my home screen, and I didn't see any flicker.
EDIT: If I go only 1/3 of 1/4 of the way with the pull down in Settings, I can reproduce the flicker every time I believe.

It happens in all apps except the homescreen. For me, it does not matter if you pull it 1/3 or 1/4 or 1/2 or all the way down... the chance of it flickering when you drag it back up is about 20%
edit: I have the 9/30/12 nightly build installed. The flickering is not an issue for me and I use this ROM as my daily driver.
Same here. it appears randomly for me. i see no trend. also at times my data stays on E. but overall i love it.

I'm going to flash the 9/30 nightly with trwp and see what happen. I'm going to try to flash without installing gapps to see if that has any effect.

Try adjusting the build.prop entry below:
debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer=3
change it to ->
debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer=1
....this might or might not fix the flickering issue.

Harder to swipe windows in Jelly Bean?

I tried searching for others with the same problem but couldn't find anything. Does anyone else seem to find that you have to swipe farther along the screen to get to the next screen? for example I need to swipe about 1/2 the screen length to get to the next page, where before I could just do a quick flick to go to the next page. I don't know if I'm missing a setting or something, but it's kind of annoying.
I think you can just change your sensitivity on your screen, btw what ROM and what version of it are you running?

Thats why drunk asked "what ROM and what version of it are you running?". You wouldn't call Auto Zone and ask how to change a fuse without telling them what kind of car you were driving would you? The more info someone gives, the easier it is to help with the issue at hand.

Oh so sorry about that. I was looking at the browser in my phone and must have missed his post completely. I'm using
[ROM] [Team ScarLick] [Deodexed] [GB27 TW] Touched By SGSIV V 1.2 updated 4/4
I never noticed the problem in gingerbread. I haven't tried any other JB roms. This is my first.
I just came from that rom to jellyverse so I know the layout of the rom and I don't believe there is an option to adjust touch sensitivity. If I'm wrong someone correct me but I don't think that rom has the option to do so. You just gotta get used to it, it's not that big of an issue that the rom is unbearable (at least it wasn't for me). There have been issues in other rooms where I simply couldn't stand the rom because of a single issue but that wasn't a huge issue for me...like I said just gotta get used to it

Yeah, that's what I've had to do. I know that most of the AOSP roms (cyanogenmod etc) have touch sensitivity adjustment but nothing touchwiz based on 4.1.2 have I seen with that option

[Q] Screen After Flashing

Hello,
I'm having a weird issue when I flash a new rom to my phone. After I wipe my phone and flash the rom the colors on my screen change slightly, it looks like it gets a little more orange added to the colors. Does anybody know why dos this happen and what I can do to fix it?
Thank You
Does it happen when you flash other roms or just that specific rom?
I am curious if its a hardware thing or software. Can you please post a picture of it along with a screenshot so we can see what you are talking about.

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.

n choose zero

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.
