I flashed 3.4.2-155-CEE (no custom rom, no data) and took about 20 pictures - no error.
[Defy General] Valdis1977:
I have the same problem with S.Froyo Cee Edition.... Sometimes i can not take a picture because of freezing screen with the lower part painted with plain color. Sometimes it's ok. When i was on a factory firmware 3.4.2-155 there were no problems with the camera....
[Defy General] jovus:
I am using official french 2.2.2 update(since my defy is from france). I've updated it trough motorola defy, and my phone lost auto focus. On 2.1 there was the rectangle and when it gets green the camera takes the photo, now it just snaps without the focus.

:/

I've tried camera 360, and auto focus works there, but I need a fix for the stock app. :/

EDIT: I've went to Settings/manage applications/Camera and clicked on the Clear Data, and now auto focus is back! :)
[Defy General] janchy:
hi all.

i had a similar problem: after update from 2.1 to 2.2.2 (cee stock both), auto-focus stopped working. tried the "clear data", but without a success. i didn't want to make factory reset, so i tried "fix permission" from rom manager. at first, it threw an error, because it didn't find the busybox. installed it to "/system/bin". after that, fix permission run without an error, reboot, and focus is working again.

just for record :)
[Defy General] yx2d8:
Hello,

I am using French 2.2.2 stock rom and since the update from 2.1, I lost the autofocus. I tried to clear all data from the stock camera app but it did not work. I also tried fix persmissions from Rom Manager as said above but with no luck.

I noticed that the autofocus does not work with Camera360 and Barcodescanner either...

Any clue on what I could try (without a full reset which would be my last resort :) ) Thanks!
[Defy General] weezou:
same here

I have the same problem since Cyanogenmod 7.1 flash.

I tried the "clear app data" method and the "fix permissions". Still I can't get any focus.

Some help please ?

Thanks
[Defy General] vicked:
I have the same problem, neither the clear data nor the fix permissions didn't work...
[Defy General] franbel:
Hello,

same problem for me, so that programs like prixing or barcode scanner don't work properly .

Thanks
[Defy General] vicked:
Very annoying problem, I tried everything.

Factory reset, fix permissions, clear cache.

I have WajkIUI (Miui based custom rom) and the 2 camera app do the same. Auto focus is dead.

What is your opinion, it this a hardware related issue?
[Defy General] mmec2:
I can tell you (from personal experience :() that it is possible for the camera module auto focus to break, the camera will still work "normally" but just won't focus.

Mine is/was a SoC module, so I've just been looking to see if I could find a Bayer module to replace it. I haven't found one yet though....

Have you tried going back to a stock ROM yet?
[Defy General] vicked:
I didn't try jet.

Is it possible that the rollback solve this issue?

I don't even know what is my camera module, but when I arrive to home I will check it.
[Defy General] mmec2:
Well it appears that it might not be the actual camera itself that is broken, I've just replaced mine and the autofocus still doesn't work :mad:

I've tried flashing stock sbfs, and also all the suggestions above as well, so I was "sure" it was the actual camera that was broken.

I have absolutely no idea what to try now. Maybe the power for the focus motor in the module comes from a different place to the main camera power?

Does anyone know how to get more detailed debugging information on what happens when the camera is told to focus?
[Defy General] farsight73:
Even if you press and hold the camera soft button it will not focus and give you the green square?

How about booting the phone.. is there any clicking sound from the camera that it auto adjusting itself?
[Defy General] mmec2:
No, whatever I press, the green square never appears, and there is no clicking sound during boot.
[Defy General] ejstubbs:
Did you manage to get a Bayer camera module from SBE like you said you were going to try in this thread?
[Defy General] mmec2:
No, SBE were not very helpful, and global direct parts wouldn't tell me what type of camera modules they had.

Like I said, I've tried flashing stock sbfs, so I was sure it was the camera hardware that was broken. In the end, I decided to order from global direct parts, and they arrived 3 days later in the UK! Very fast delivery!

They turned out to be SoC modules, not Bayer, but it still won't focus!

I guess it's possible (although unlikely) that the modules they sent me are also broken, but I have no other way of testing them.

Now I'm completely confused, as an sbf flash with a data and cache wipe should remove any possible software cause, and I've tried replacing the actual camera. What could possibly cause this :confused::confused::confused:
[Defy General] atomskasarma:
Is there any advance in diagnosing the problem. I'm experiencing the same here but not camera nor camera 360 focuses, not auto nor manual.
[Defy General] atomskasarma:
Working solution!!! : D

Installed QR Droid from market, started it, scanned code from macro mode and moved phone to 40-50 cm distance. It's scanning all the way in real time and clicking can be heard. Closed app, started any camera app and focusing works again! ^_^
[Defy General] yukio3333:
didn't work for me...

none of methods works for me... =[

Now i'm using CM9 Nightly, and in the past I used Argen2Stone(third)(v2 iguess), MS2Ginger(second) and PaysROM(first ROM).

and my Defy is RedLense, CatLog detected BAYER device, I'm acquired My defy extactly 1year before from today, on Brazil's TIM Shop.

auto focus is still dead and Pictures taken from 03-10cm is reasonable, above that is.....just awful.

by the way, whem I'm booting the phone i don't hear the weird sound that i used to hear...even when i'm trying to take some picture and keep pressing the shutter button

Sorry for awful english,i'm brazilian and i can't speak well as portuguese ou japanese.
[Defy General] MarnoldD:
I have the same problem with bayern module.

Did anybody fix the defy with replacement of the module. This fix the problem?

Where can I bought the lens ?

It can fix only camera module or is not disassembled ? ( my DEFY was 4 day in water, It is 100% hardware problem)

pls help (sry for bad english)
[Defy General] matriskie:
I tried everything to fix my autofocus problem... From other mods, multiple other builds, etc. At first I thought it was a software issue, but it happens to be more then that.

Last time I tried the qr droid app, and for a moment my camera was fixed again, appears that the app forces the camera to try to focus on other focuspoints (funny noices). But this solution didnt last forever.

What works for me know (might be a bit of a hard method): Whenever I have the focus problem, I go into qr droid, and then hit several times the phone on the back. Suddenly it gains back its ability to focus!

Anyhow not a long time solution I guess, so I am planning to order a lens. My device is a bayer module, anyone out there who found a bayer module ?
[Defy General] ankit_harry1992:
exact same issue here....

hit the phone's back & focus is back but only for a limited time! :crying:

Hi I've been looking around to find good kernals while running cyanogen mod 7 rc4. Some of the kernals I install like netatchy gives the screen a weird flickering. Can someone suggest a good kernal that's overclockable and stable. Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Netarcys kernel really isn't for cm7 that's probably why its flickering. You should try savage zens latest sbc or non sbc kernel or tiamats sbc kernel both are pretty good. I'm running the tiamat sbc 3.3.4(great battery life) and I'm pretty happy with it.

Tiamat link. Be sure to get the evo version because he does kernels for the incredible also.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chvezsd:
Thanks! Ill try them and I'm kinda new to kernals so what is the difference between SBC and no SBC
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
In a nutshell, sbc is a method of charging that allows you to "fully"(trickle) charge your battery. Normal kernels really only let you charge to about 90% for safety measures; while sbc lets you fully charge letting your battery completely fill. There's a few threads that talk about it if you search around to get more "details". I've been using them for months without any problems whatsoever. Good luck
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khilbron:
Honestly I get great performance out of the stock kernel.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chvezsd:
Thanks, I just flashed the tiamat 3.3.4 SBC and everything so far is great! Btw I couldn't find it in the changelog but does this fix 4g cuz on stock kernal both the 3g icon and 4g icon show
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vivix729:
It's called a kernel.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
That happens to me sometimes but not all the time. I believe that's still a problem with cm7 in general though. For best results I recommended going to settings/ cyanogenmod settings/ performance/CPU settings then use the "smart ass" governor. It has provided me with the best overall battery/performance. I also have my min freq at 245 and max freq at 1152.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chvezsd:
Those are also my settings, I've discovered my evo can't go beyond 1.15ghz without locking up. I've been trying to get to 1.2 but no go

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chvezsd:
Yeah wish i was a lucky one :/, so after installing kernels I'm getting 41.2 mflops and my quadrant benchmark is 1221

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
I don't really put so much stock in scores anymore they don't mean anything to be honest. Dirk used to be a score whore but I just removed the apps so I wouldn't worry about it anymore. I came to terms that my scores won't go much higher then what they already were. Just ran 40 mflops and 1220 bench.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:

I just died a little inside :/ lol I wanna upgrade to the evo 3d soon tho and that's a dual core :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] router54g:
I just wanna correct this misconception because it led me astray and it took a good amount of research to realize this was wrong.

All kernels will charge the phone to 100%. That's not an issue. What happens is, once they are charged to 100%, they start draining battery again, and coupled with the fact that li-ions inherently lose charge over time, and the fact that most people haven't conditioned their battery's memory by properly charging it, by the time you pull your phone off the charger it's already lost that 10% (give or take).

Trickle charging hopes to fix this by "trickling" a small charge into the battery constantly once it hits 100%, to compensate for discharge, so that it stays at 100%. The problem with this is, it pushes a current through the battery constantly, and that tends to shorten the life of lithium-ion batteries over time. You may get better immediate battery life off the charger, but you'll kill your battery quicker. Come months from now, your battery life isn't going to be what it should, whether you notice it or not.

If you want to minimize the discharge, you can take a couple safer steps:

- Condition your battery. Charge it to a true 100%. This will mean turning the phone off and on a few times while it's on the charger to make sure it's actually at 100%. Then completely discharge it until the phone cannot turn back on. Do this a couple times in a row, and repeat every month or so. This conditions your li-ion battery's internal charging memory so it knows its true charge potential.

- Charge your phone while it's off. It won't drain nearly as much battery this way, so when you're ready to take it off the charger it'll be much fresher.

- Avoid prolonged charging and continuous charging, because it can confuse the li-ion's internal charging memory. Rather than re-charging it when it hits 60%, let it drain as low as possible before you bother recharging it. Bursts of short charges don't harm the battery, but they make it "forget" how much it can be charged.

In short, SBC kernels are bad for your battery.

---

Also, Savaged-Zen 1.0.1 BFS no-SBC has been the best kernel I've found for the Evo 4G. Granted I haven't had this thing that long and there may be another gem lying around somewhere, but given the popularity of SZ, I doubt it. It's a very good, smooth kernel. It's giving me the best performance of what I've tried (most of the popular ones).

As for CFS vs BFS, flip a coin. Some will swear CFS is smoother, others will swear BFS is supposed to be smoother. BFS gives me more responsiveness personally, but I think it mostly depends on your workload. I keep scarcely-used tasks killed and I don't use widgets, so the lack of many processes may be what makes BFS better for me. Try both and see which feels smoother in daily use.

Thanks for all the info! I'm just gonna try SBC for a month then try non SBC for a month and see witch I would prefer better. Also for the Zen kernels do they break anything that's not already working? And would they give better 3d performance then the tiamats kernel?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
That's a great plan man. I visited the savage zen kernel thread earlier and some are complaing about their newest build causing charging issues or something along with 100% wake time idk. If you give it a shot use their 1.0.0 instead of the 1.0.1. Just give the kernels about a week and see how well they hold up. Its mainly about personal preference(sbc or non sbc) I'm actually testing the tiamat sbc but I was previously on savage zen. I like to give all kernels a chance(1 or 2 weeks) to see how well my phone performs with them.

Is your phone rooted?

Don't know, if your rom is pre-rooted with your rom.

What about trying a new rom? If you are using the rom mentioned in your signatur I think it's a bit outdated :)

Kann dir wärmstens das Rom von Typhoon ans Herz legen.

(Too lazy to translate this phrase to english =D).

Button remapper works fine with typhons rom. Also remapped call and end key button.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] feloccio:
I am using imilkas Incredible Sense 1.1 and it wouldnt reboot after changing the buttons.

In button remapper i see endcall and call twice. So i changed it twice. endcall to power and call to camera.

There are anyway too many buttons shown in buttonremapper.

There are more then 30 while the hd2 has only 7 hard buttons.

Anyway i feel there should be an other solution. There must be more people out there using the hd2 as a phone (not only as a pocketpc;-) and having this problem.

Maybe some devs could have a look into this.

Most roms we are using are coming from a phone without hardbuttons for call/endcall so the slider is the only option to do so.

I am thinking of a disable_hardbuttons_while_incoming_call_update.zip

I'm using this kernel as packaged with oxygen 2.0.1 and I'm interested to learn more about how it manages the CPU and what voltage it uses. Done a fair bit of Google and not finding much!

What is the min and max cpu frequency it allows?

Does it scale between these automatically?

What voltage does it define for the cpu; does that vary?

Is it an overclocked or undervolted kernel?

Does anyone use setcpu with this kernel and what are the effects?

Hi, developers and other people!

I own a beautiful HTC Wildfire with, indeed, HTC Sense. I would like to change the behavior of a button in HTC Sense.

Image here: i51 (dot) tinypic (dot) com/11smu7d.png

The one that usually brings up the "All apps" menu, I want it to open a certain app instead.

How can I do that?

By the way, the device is rooted and runs Android 2.1.

Why I want to do that?

I don't like how disorganized are the apps in the "All apps" menu. If I could organize them in folders, it would've been awesome. I'm searching for an app that does this, and I want it to open up instead of "All apps" when I press that button.

(BTW, do you know an app that can do that? Maybe a Launcher that can use folders to list its apps.)

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dalanik:
I know at least 2 apps:

EyeLouncher

does just that - folders.

another good one is All Apps Organizer

after you have the oc kernel installed go into set cpu and set an audible alarm and for when your temp goes above 115 Fahrenheit, in that profile have it drop your clock speed down to 1000 or 800 to help your phone cool off before reactivating the full oc. Ive never had any problems with the cpu getting to hot oc'd to 1.2 thats not to say you wont.
