[Q] Camera force closes

Hi there. I have an issue with my SE Arc LT15i camera.
The issue is that upon opening the camera app, the screen goes black and then i get a message after about 1-2 seconds saying:
Sorry!
The application Camera (process com.sonyericsson.android.camera) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Force close
Force close is the only option given.
I've searched through xda and through google, and from what i understand, its not a device specific problem and there is no universal solution. I have:
- Cleared the camera cache
- Changed SD cards
- Completed a settings reset
- Completed a factory data reset
- Used SE PCC to 'Repair' the device
All of which have been unsuccessful. I am running stock SE 4.0.2.A.0.42 (2.3.4), with locked bootloader and it is also unrooted.
Has anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?

Have you tried to reflash the firmware?

i'm a bit of a noob, but is reflashing the same as connecting to the PCC and restoring stock firmware? i've never changed the rom or anything, just the SE updates

Try repair function in PCC.

yup tried the repair function. contacted SE and they told me to use SEUS and update/repair the firmware. still no luck however. =/
do you guys think it might be a hardware problem then? I have gone into the service menu and testing the camera there causes the service menu to crash

I have the exact same problem with my LT18i. The problem has been intermittent, coming and going, but now it seems it is here to stay. I have tried doing a factory reset, switched SD-cards, cleared camera app data/cache, removed camera module to check for bad connections. Nothing has worked.
Searching the net gives no solution that works, but lots of thread with people having the same problem.
Has anyone found an actual solution or has any good info on the problem?
(please, no half-assed guessing - I've read tons of it already and I've tried it all... :angel

[Q] Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped

I keep getting "Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped" over and over and over. This happens no matter what I am doing and first thing when I reboot the phone.
I also keep getting Unfortunately Play Store has Stopped.
Every time I start the Play Store I get on of those 2 errors so I can't launch the Play store at all.
Phone has been fine for weeks and then all of sudden this started today. No new app, it just came out of nowhere.
I have 2 HTC One V's both are running CM9. Both were set up weeks ago and both were done exactly the same way. Mine is fine, the wife's is having that issue.
I have tried disabling sync. Removing and re-adding my account. Clearing the cache. Fixing permissions. Removing a few apps. Some other minor things I don't recall. Nothing helps.
Any ideas?

Re install the Rom,or do a factory reset...but its better to reflash the Rom
It'll fix the errors I guess

Thank you for your help , however I was hoping there was a solution short of doing a full wipe. Is there nothing else I can try?
And more importantly what caused this and what is to stop it from coming back after a wipe? I don't want to go through all that just to have to do it again next week.

...Ok, well I have re-installed the OS and then re-installed/set up all my apps and settings.
So far so good. Hopefully the issue won't come back.

[Q] !!! Bunch of google play errors on every restart !!!

I have been seeing these bunch of errors (screenshots) at every re-start for the past couple of days. I am running Viper Rom version 2.5.
I tried to run the GPE rom as well but i get the same errors on that rom as well. Not sure what the issue is but nothing is broken apart from the weather app/widget not able to find the current location. It just shows 'current location' instead of the actual location. But this does not affect the Maps at all, it pin points my exact location on the Map.
Can anybody help with this?

Sounds like a dirty flash, did you do a factory reset? A factory reset should fix that.

Yes i did a reset and clean flash. Still has the same issues.

I'm having the same issue on viper 2.5. Never had problems before. I even followed steps to convert play store from user to system app and downgraded play services to the latest 5 version, in which everything works well, cleared data/cache/defaults, uninstalled and reinstalled market. But every time I reboot it updates to version 6 and the problems begin. I even used disable services app to prevent it from updating, but still happens. Any help would be appreciated. (Forgot to mention that all apps work well but with constant error pop-ups)

Glad you wrote this. Been having same problem a UK rom debranded m8. I get the same errors restart but google play is popping up saying there's been a problem followed by a goggle services popup. I narrowed it down to either news and weather app or me just getting a new car and syncing with it. Filling in a zip code made the errors less. Still annoying as hell. Either latest google play update borked things or news and weather is causing a big fluke like it has several times in the past.

[Issue] Auto resetting Marshmallow permissions

I've noticed this many times when I restart my phone and when it comes back online it's like I've removed a bunch of permissions from all the apps and I have to give the apps permission again.
This was really annoying and I've tried after resetting but still this isn't sorted.
Is this a marshmallow bug? I haven't had this problem before updating to it.
Are you guys having the same thing happening?

Im also facing dis issue,bt mine is stock,unrooted (unrooted via ruu lollipop then officially updated to marshmallow....and i didnt reset also

Yes, may be it's a HTC issue, as I googled it, other HTC phone users having the same issue..
They should fix it from an update

HTC bug? omg this is a shame dealing with this problem. I have a M8 and a sense rom and when I reset the phone I'm getting this glitch

weird problem with HTC M8

I have a HTC M8. I get com.htc.htcdialer has stopped unexpectedly error when I try to open dialer also similar error for people app and tv app. I tried reset factory with no luck and have not skype as someone suggested somewhere to remove it. tried installing new rom but got remote sign verification error and could not find firewater to s-off it.
the only temporary solution worked for me is to change dalvik to art in dev mode. but I want to give this phone to someone and he may want to reset phone and then get error again because default is dalvik! so it is only a temporary solution. I need to fix this issue.
so why these apps works in art mode but not dalvik!? and any solution? note that I also tried clearing dalvik cache.

fixed by flashing new firmware
