A few problems with my Desire - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone. I have few problems, as far tried PA, CM7 and CM10.
1. flash videos
when using browser, I can't really use any flash player. I mean, I can see the player and the button, but when "play" is clicked there is a short blink when "play" switches to "pause" but then it comes back in 1 second and still it looks like nothing was clicked.
2. camera
when I turn on my camera, sometimes everything in preview looks like this:
i32.tinypic[dot]com/dd27fn.png
so, when I use it for a while it turns to normal but when camera restarted it comes back.
When I try to record videos, it is horribly lagging. Also, the recorded videos lag as well.
3. youtube
it is about youtube application - normally, videos play just fine. but when i tap the screen to see the video length bar it starts lagging and blinking.
4. unlock screen
so basically in normal situations the unlock screen shows up shortly after clicking the power button, as it should, but when I want to check the clock shortly after I turn the screen off (it means I click the power button twice within few seconds) it shows up after about 5 seconds or doesn't show at all
5. mSDHC
When putting things onto SD card, sometimes it says "can't find file" and it just stops. Doesn't happen when using adapter.
And sometimes the phone says "SD damaged", tried with 2 sd cards and don't know whether it's phone or card.
Please help, I'm total newbie in rooting.

You're trying new and "in progress" ROMs. If you want 100% stability, stick with gingerbread. Oxygen 2.3.2 is rock solid.

First 3 issues are present in ICS/JB ROM's only, if you want something stable stick to GB ROM's.

These issues may be due to unstable ROMs. Use GB Roms like Oxygen or Miui and it should be fine.

Thanks! That helped.
The problem has been solved so you can close the thread.
I wrote about this problem on PA forum and nobody helped me, they didn't know what's wrong.
Now I have only problems with my SD card, but will test some other cards and eventually post a new thread soon.

720p video lags on cyanogenmod 7

on stock desire, 720p playback on moboplayer or rockplayer, the same 720p videos were runnning smooth (only some rare very brief freeze at times) but on cyanogen using moboplayer, 720p; the video runs very very slowly and sound is totally out of sync.. what settings do i need to change to get playback as smooth as on stock rom??
edit: thought cm7 was supposed to be better than stock rom in terms of performance...
no one has this same problem?
i've had similar problem. let me say first that video recording worked great on unrooted device, then on rooted with stock rom, then on InsertCoin 2.0.1. rom, then back on stock rom (i went back with clockworkmod recovery), then again on Insercoin for a week or so...(don't ask, i did some experimenting )...
but then all of a sudden, after a full week on Insertcoin ROM, without me installing something new or fiddling around, out of the blue, video recording went loco. everything looked ok while recording but when playing video would pause every few seconds, then quickly catch on, then pause again, and so on...as if sd card couldn't catch up writing the video. but that couldn't be the case because everything worked fine before. i forgot to mention, both 720p and 800x480 recording didn't work...
i didn't try removing setcpu app and defragmenting sd card. instead i went back to unrooted stock rom and now everything works fine again. now i'm little tired to root and flash any custom rom over again. if anyone has the idea what went wrong please share...thx!

i will try defragmenting sd card. If it does not work, will switch back to stock rom. Got some other issues with cyanogenmod 7 also.... it is not as great as everyone keeps to say...
today recorded video started pausing again. i forgot to mention it earlier, but i bought new 8GB class 4 SD card and it didn't help. i don't think defragmenting will work (at least for me). it seems that this prob might be hardware related...
I had this problem on relextense hd, just figured it was the norm for the phone

i read a few threads on this issue and it seems to me that it's because of gingerbread which does not have the necessary codecs... let's just wait for official gingerbread and see if it works again...
i have tried cyanogen 7 (android 2.3) and miui (android 2.3).. in both roms 720p lags
thx for suggestions, guys. but i'm on stock froyo rom. i'll try removing some apps and see if it's related. after i flashed back stock rom it all worked fine, but now it pauses again. i removed poweramp and rockplayer but no luck. i really don't want to remove all downloaded apps all over again....any other suggestion?
720p works fine for me. Maybe hardware issue?
i have some update on the stuff. today i uninstalled all apps i've downloaded since buying the phone, including the updates to it's native gmail and facebook apps. after that, i restarted the phone and voila, video recording worked again, smooth and steady.
so i went to install all apps again, one by one, and after each one i tried video recording again. the result was that after some apps video was recorded with pauses, and after some it wasn't. so i uninstalled those apps again and tried video recording, but it didn't help. then i went to install them back again but not in the same order as the first time. again video was fine after installing some apps and not fine after the others. but, it didn't pause after installing some apps for the second time, the same apps which i have installed the first time when video was recorded with pauses. so it seems it's not app related after all.
but, after so much installing and uninstalling it became clear that video recording worked flawlessly after each phone reboot. at some point after rebooting the phone video begun to record with pauses again. after some more testing i can confirm that this occurs after installing new (any) apps. as long as i don't install anything, video will record normally. i cannot possibly imagine what can cause such behavior, but for now it seems to be the pattern. i hope it'll help some of you with the same problem. but nevertheless this shouldn't happen at all. i have sent a ticket to HTC support, maybe they'll come up with a more permanent solution.

720p video playback is smooth on your cm7? i have tried cm7 and miui (gingerbread) and 720p video is slow and out of sync with the audio
seems it's related with your sd card.. what class are you using? i think the more apps u have installed, the speed at which sd card is accessed is slower.... my 720p recording/playback is not smooth as well, i have like 60-70 apps installed (lol), that's probably why

Some Issues on my Desire

I have some issues with my Desire Bravo so I want to ask is this for repair or not, he is still under warranty.
When I'm typing message vibration often suddenly stop working, but when I shake phone a little bit It works again, and that only happend when I'm texting. Second problem is when I'm recording a video (720p), like 40 secounds or more, and when I'm watching it, video lags on some parts of the recorded session, and that lag appears for just a secound, and then video continue to roll normally, sometimes lag appear more than once in same session. I have stock 2.3.3 GB rom 16Gb Adata class 10 microsd card, phone never fell or anything like that.
no one to suggest something...

[Q] Screen goes black with certain online video play

I've experienced this issue before, but I've LGNPST'd a few times since for various reasons, not because of this, and it seems to clear it up each time. Youtube is fine, I have yet to have an issue with that, but when I'm running an internet browser and choose to play a video where it does not request me to pick a player, the clip will play for a few seconds, then the screen goes black but is backlit. Now if I touch the screen, the clip is view-able again for a few seconds and then will go back to the black backlit screen. Clip isn't pausing, just the image is cutting.
Currently I'm running stock JB (not a ROM), rooted and unlocked running TWRP 2.4.4 with CM 10.1 on my storage. It seems that I notice this only after rooting\unlocking or after a ROM gets installed even if I flash back to stock.
Has anyone else experienced this? Can anyone offer suggestions? If I can provide more info, let me know.

I experienced this too.
I just decided not to use chrome and use the default browser, it work's perfectly fine there.
I'll give that a shot. Hadn't really considered it might just be a chrome issue...

D855 becomes jerky and unresponsive in a matter of hours since factory reset

My phone is now good two years old. It doesn't show its age externally which is why I'm not exactly jumping to replace it, but it does have some "internal" issues.
Recently it became quite jerky & unresponsive. This shows in apps just not snapping in, animations tear & crack all over the place and, well, it's just not smooth. Actually, this is so bad that it's even hard to answer the phone because it just doesn't detect the swipe, so sometimes it takes a second or even third try.
So I decided to go from CM based ROM to a stock based ROM. Made a flash, a factory reset and rebooted the thing. My next step is to restore my apps with titanium backup, so I install it from Play Store, install the Pro key and then restore all the apps (some 40 of them). I'm not sure if this plays much of a role because even if I don't use TiBu to restore, the same thing happens anyway.
At first, everything was smooth again. But in a matter of hours, the phone was jerky again. This came as a bit of surprise as normally it takes around a week (but it always becomes jerky). I swear I'm not doing anything taxing with the phone. I uninstalled all the apps that I thought might be causing this, but nothing had any effect. I'll now go back to the CM based ROM because it suits me better in some aspects, but I've just about had it with all this unresponsiveness.
Is there any way for me to detect what it is that's causing these hiccups? Is there a rational explanation for my woes?
Try to reboot in safe mode and see if it becomes jerky again after one or two days...or hours.
If it becomes then is a hardware problem.
If not try a full wipe install your fav apps but don't restore any data.
Do you have an SD card in your phone by any chance? This phone suffers from slow SD cards. I have a Kingston SD Class 4 card and the Gallery, Messenger, and some apps just start freezing and being unresponsive. Ordered a Class 10 UHS-I Samsung SD Card......lets hope it works better. The phone is super quick when not using an SD card on stock 6.0
Thanks for the suggestions. Since I don't have an SD card in, I'll attempt a safe mode probe to see if it helps.

Problems with Gallery, GPS, slow SD card reading, Video recording, home not loading

after using this phone for 3 months, here are the problems I have found.
After every reboot, sorting of images in my gallery change. Most recent pictures and on top. they just get mixed and match. I use a SanDisk SD card. nothing is in order, I mean nothing. This is the thing I hate the most.
Gallery app updates itself pretty slowly, after taking a photo, it takes about 4 minutes to find that pic. in twitter app.

GPS is not a mess, it is mostly a punishment by a higher being. cursor flips other sides, it requires calibration all the time, when I turn right, it turns to left or doesn't even move. Sometimes it works, sometimes it works backward. This GPS losing me time every single day. Shame on you Xiaomi
-
it takes I'm not kidding, 10 minutes for my phone to load 200GB SanDisk card with 60gb data in it.
To boot the phone back from a reboot, I need to take the sim tray off, otherwise, the home-screen doesn't show up, I just see my wallpaper for 5 minutes. Even though the app I'm going to lunch is stored internally (let's say twitter) I cannot launch it before the sd card loads completely.
-
video recording option on the main camera app makes the phone freeze and brick. Yeah, just wanting to record a video bricked my one once. it was awesome. Had to format everything and start over.
-
Backspace key lags, sometimes doesn't recognize when typing fast. Not sure why, it is very odd.
Rooted with magist, TWRP using the stock ROM.
running Android 9, 128gb lavender
