Camera issue

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.

you probably just disabled the app. go into app manager and it should be in there.

So I enabled the camera again. Thank you. But it still force closes. When i open it, it just shows a black screen and after a moment it force closes. Did I burn the sensor somehow?

also, I cannot launch the camera from any app like eBay and etc....and even the flashlight widget doesn't work and force closes
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

go back into that app manager and clear the data for the camera app. then try the camera again the normal way (i dunno about ebay apps, ect).

I cleared data. Stopped the app. I did all that but didn't fix the problem. I pulled the battery out and let the phone sit for a few and then turned it on and it worked. Very weird. I wanna try to replicate the problem but I'm scared on a 750 dollar phone with no insurance. It was when I was using paper camera and taking a few pictures that this happened...

don't panic. worst case scenario you can just flash the original image that google provides or any custom roms. you can find plenty of information in the dev section

I have same problem with paper camera. When Im close it app crash and camera stop working...

This problem just occured to me, But I was NOT using Paper Camera.
Camera *AND* GTalk both force close on launch.
I was running CM9 with Franco kernel, latest Gapps. it just occurred randomly on a reboot, no flashes or anything in-between...
anyone else have issues with this?

I'm having issues too. If I turn my phone off while in the camera app, and then turn my phone back on, it gives the error that my camera cannot be found. Only way I know how to fix it is to reboot my phone. I'm running stock 4.0.2, rooted.

YouTube v5 update - landscape issues

Seems like a samsung problem, just wondering if anyone on xda has been able to find a fix...
with the new youtube update (v5), there is no longer a time bar on landscape so you can fast forward/rewind a video.. and there's also no way to go back to portrait mode since that whole bottom area is missing (have to minimize the video, and then click back in... )
the app has ad 3-4 updates since its release and the problem is still there. been using v4 as the app is pretty unusable at this point. seems to be an issue with all samsung phones. i really love the new design but it's too bad that there's this huge glaring bug.

Are you talking about the mobile app? Because on my s3 it runs flawless and all the buttons work just fine...your issues are odd to say the least

Same Problem
His issue is not odd.This issue happens on all Galaxy devices with 4.1.2 JB android version.So if you have 4.2 or even 4.0 just shut up!

not only s3
I have the same problem on samsung galaxy s2 gt-i9100 jb 4.1.2
No custom rom.
No time line in landscape. I am amazed.
Take care

I think my problem was due to me having the Rogers stock version of 4.1.2 installed, when I changed to the AT&T Stock Rom it was fixed, now it's working flawlessly
And this may be your problem since you are on a i747M Rom Jamolah

My MIUI experience. Pros/Cons

Well, I brought myself to removing my CM10.2 and trying the MIUI ROM. It was a very slick, very smooth ROM. I overall enjoyed it. But with it being a ROM of course it had a few minor bugs. And I did have a few dislikes. So I'm gonna list a few things I personally noticed about it. Fell free to post your thoughts and any resolutions to anything I'm gonna lay out.
PROS:
-a smooth, soft feeling touch that was full of color and a very nice setup. The was miui was set up in settings for example was on of a kind. I was not disappointed. The theme app that was there gave me full control of changing the status bar, lock screen, home screen, etc. You have full control of customization. WiFi also seemed to work just fine.
CONS:
- Sadly, my LTE didn't appear to work. I tried adjusting my setting to fix it. No avail and that kinda was frustrating. But with WiFi working it didn't pose to much of a issue. I also experienced to apps for my gallery, and I was unable to delete it because it was a system app. Some of the themes I downloaded froze my phone, causing me to remove my battery and restart my phone. I wasn't bothered by it to much, I'm rather used to having to do that with previous phone.
Over all if you like a fresh and fast ROM you will love MIUI. But with these few issues I went back to cm. As I need my LTE cause my phone is also a work phone and I need the fastest internet I can get. So feel free to post your thoughts on MIUI and any fixes. Because I would like to switch back and continue using MIUI.

LTE works you just have to select it in settings when you first flash the rom because it doesn't default on. Reason there are 2 galleries is because MIUI has its own gallery and since we have to use 4.2 camera it comes with its only gallery also hide one in a folder if you dont like one. And theme issue I've never experienced this

Thanks for the advice. Looking forward to flashing back and getting it sorted out

I love the visual development compared to all other ROM.

Looks great.. but I'm still in love with AOSP.

Right out of the box, I think MIUI looks a lot like ios . Maybe too much.
It is a great ROM though, and very user-friendly.

Could I see a screen shot of the phone? Keypad, in call. These are things people over look, but this is our phone is it not? For most if not everyone on here, the only phone they use.

Constant OTA update notification and no selfies using the heartrate monitor

I get a constant notification in the notification bar about an OTA update, but never updates my phone.
Another issue I noticed is that I can't take a selfie using the heartrate monitor, the way it's supposed to work.
Anyone knows what's wrong?

Selfies with the heart rate monitor only works if you are using Selfies mode for the front facing camera.
Selfies for the 16m camera is automatic in backfacing Selfies mode as you have to try and guess where your face is and it's pretty difficult. Though it foes beep to let you know when it sees your face.

I said a factory reset is not a fix because it doesn't fix the issue without causing a lot of work resetting the phone.

If you're not willing to reset the phone, then you won't know if its a software or hardware issue. It will wind up being your loss when you can't exchange it for a new phone before the return date is up. Reinstalling some apps and re-entering some basic info isn't rocket science.

Reinstalling 230 apps and configuring these apps is tedious, and resetting the phone should be the last resort, not first one. If I wanted to reset the phone, I wouldn't ask the question here on XDA; I would have called Samsung support.

Then you should have called Samsung support. You have PHYSICAL and SOFTWARE functions that sound broken from what you've explained. I'll say it again, you provided us with an issue, icexshinigami provided you with information which you verified. If all of that is correct and your device is still not working correctly, you're either doing something wrong or you have a faulty device.
You got answers. Whether or not you liked them isn't my problem or anyone elses. Also, technically a restore is a fix. Samsung will tell you that over the phone after you verify everything you've already been told and they will either have you restore the device or return the device if you refuse to restore it or the restore doesn't work. How do I know this? I just went thought this with samsung and they did all this. Guess what? It was a FAULTY DEVICE.
Either take the time exhausting ALL your options, or don't ask for help at all. Man if reinstalling all "230 apps" is your biggest problem then I worry for you.
It wouldn't surprise me that after I post this everything gets magically fixed and you come with an explanation (if you even follow up) that wouldn't work anyways. Not trying to be rude but it sounds like you wouldn't own up to something you did and not the device.
And you have another thread on here asking questions about a problem on your phone. 2 and 2 together. I'm saying bad device. It happens.

I have the same problem. I've done a factory reset to diagnose a different problem (which helped, btw). It didn't help in this case though so it very well might be some hardware issue.
I should also state that when I place my finger on the heartrate sensor in the selfie mode, I do see it light up. It just never seems to vibrate or anything. Or perhaps it's just having trouble finding my face. Perhaps I'm just that ugly xD
Update:
Quite interestingly enough, I toggled between both regular selfie mode and the wide selfie mode and right back to regular. It's working now.
The only thing I can suggest is, when you place it in selfie mode and you press the heart rate sensor, is it lighting up? If not, then have you also tried the built-in fitness app to at least verify your heart rate sensor is functional?

1) Backup with Kies
2) Factory Reset
3) Restore with Kies
4) Try your selfie again with H/R sensor, if it fails you have 1 of 2 problems
a) You're not touching the H/R correctly
b) Bad device
Simple Enough Logic for OP?
