One more question is : Does your phone sometimes crashes ? in my case i have the same problem with the camera ..... and i have my phones system gives me :"proccess system not responding " . could that be bacuse of the camera problem ? Do you have the same ?(your phone get stuck sometime ..and goes OFF\RESTART ?)

I have the same case !! but in my country i have NO verizon here ..so actually i can't fix my phone !

What should i do ?

Thanks guys for help .

Read the thread please. The answer is in it.
[HTC Droid DNA] hailthefish:
Sorry for the necromancy, I'm having the same issue, and no amount of resets, soft or hard, has resolved anything.

I received this phone about a month ago as a total care replacement for a very sad old Droid X that was needing to be put out to pasture. When I first got it, everything worked fine. The camera worked a couple weeks ago, even, but I went to use it today, tapped the camera icon, it briefly opened then instantly closed with a message "Unable to start the camera".

I tried a few more times, force quit, cleared cache, tried again, still nothing. Force quit, cleared data, tried again. Soft reset, tried again, nothing. Held power button for a reset, still nothing. Powered off and back on again, still nothing. Another soft reset, still nothing. Tried 3 other camera apps, Google Camera closed immediately with a similar error message, Vignette just sat there at Initializing Camera forever, and some garbage front camera only selfie app opened but only showed a black screen for the viewfinder.

I did another soft reset, still nothing.

I did a factory reset, and tried again without downloading any of the apps previously installed. Still nothing.

I've tried several more soft resets and cache clears since then.

It's looking more and more like a hardware problem but previous posters in this thread reported fixing similar issues without doing anything to the hardware. It has never been dropped, it has never been wet. It hasn't even been outside in a light drizzle. It's never been sat on, it's never gotten warmer than 109 reported internal temp.

Other than take it to Verizon and whine at them about how the free phone I just got a month ago is a broken piece of crud for no apparent reason or malfeasance on my part (which is probably why they had it on hand to give away, reconditioned my big toe), is there any potential resolution I'm missing that doesn't involve warranty-voiding stuff.
[HTC Droid DNA] natypes:
THIS IS PROBABLY THE ANSWER YOU ARE LOOKING FOR!

"Today after a reset, I opened the camera and instead of trying to take a pic I cycled through the flash settings. As soon as I did the interface switched to portrait, (like the phone was held) and it took pics and video like normal!!!!!!!!"

I didn't see you mention that you tried this. It fixed my dna and I never had another issue.
[HTC Droid DNA] hailthefish:
I can't even get that far, as soon as I tap the camera icon, the camera app flashes open for a moment then instantly closes with an 'unable to start' message. The odd thing is that every so often, with no rhyme or reason, it will randomly start working just fine, then not work at all for weeks on end.

Of course now it's so broken, even LED Flashlight apps don't detect it as even having a camera.

I am trying to follow the guide here but it wont detect my Nabi... I have teamviewer if anyone can help. I have installed the ADB drivers like it said using their tool, i have it in USB Debugging mode. Yet it still shows in the Nabi Lab that it does not detect it. I can see the nabi under My Computer, and device manager is showing This.

PLEASE HELP. I need the gapps so bad lol.

it install successfully but still says Unknown Device in the list.

Do you know how to install the drivers manually from device manager?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] cyb3runkn0wn:
Yea, I don't have the driver files though
[Fuhu Nabi 2] aicjofs:
If you have PDAnet installed it will be in driver cache. Should be able to start driver update, "browse my computer", "let me pick from files", and then select one. I forget what PDAnets are called. Galaxy or something?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] cyb3runkn0wn:
IDK man i guess im just retarded as ****... It just keeps telling me that it's using the most up to date drivers already... Do you have teamviewer? When your not mobile you could just remote in and help me out.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] schlok:
Hey everyone it seems that I have solved the issue with T mobile xda2 pocket pcs with the 5.22 bootloader WM 2003 and Radio version 6.02.25 ( i think thats what it is) and I have sucessfully unlocked it.

Here's how it worked:

First I got the XDAtoolkit and made a backup rom of the ppc 2003 software. Then I "upgraded it" to a cooked ROM for o2 version 3 something ( the one provided in the cooker in this forum) and I used the RUS for o2 version 4.23 to change the radio software. After doing all of this, xda unlocker unlocked the phone, as it said "the phone is now unlocked" and then I re flashed pocket pc 2003 back to it. The only thing left is for me to re update the RUS to the original version but T mobile site was having problems. I tried to use 6.20 and it just gave me and error at 1% If you know that the newest ones will work this will be a golden setup

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] machie0024:
Hello there!!

I also faced same problem here, but I manage to overcome it.

well it really made me crazy:fingers-crossed:

This is just my observation. I do not know if this will work on your phones too. but still you can try this and see it for your self!

HERE'S WHAT I DID("just ignore my grammar just try to understand")

I set my minimum CPU frequency to 465 MHz

"My opinion"

setting it to lower than 465MHz will make your CPU Shorted, This happens when your phone is either about to Idle or in deed sleep mode with not so many apps running("i thinks the CPU can't manage to process it with such very low freq like 156 MHz"). sometimes when the frequency is turning to the lowest Freq. then burst up to the max Freq.("i thinks that what makes it restart").

"this is just my opinion"

Please correct me if i am wrong, I will gladly appreciate it:)

since then. i never encounter it any more. "trying this won't lose you anything"

hope this helps you too

PS: if this is also a re-post. well i haven't read about that before "i swear"

I am also a member of Symbianize

just a leech.......lol:D

hirap naman mag-English.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] MrJellybean:
Stock kernel has max/min frequencies of 832/312. Does it mean that samsung wants to "shorten" our CPU? I also have had my SGY run on 156/156 for a week without problems on both Kuro and Hells kernels. Which kernel do you use??
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] machie0024:
i really can't say.

before i switched to custom rom. i was using savies#73 on stock dxlf1. i also faced this problem. but does not restart often. maybe once or twice a week.

then i tried Hyperion.. cpu config was 832/156/ondemand /sio. problem recurs 2-4x a day

then i tried 832/156/performance/noop. problem recurs so often a day

sometimes during a call. even on idle.

phone turns so laggy then black out. WTF restart

then finally 832/468/performance/noop. works well. no random restart anymore.

my worksmates who also have sgy told me that their phones sometimes restart randomly. their phones has no tweaks, custom Rom or kernel. just rooted.

that is why i came to the idea of not setting the lowest freq lower than 468mhz.

well since you reputed opinion.

maybe the range of min/max frequencies is also one reason.

i haven't tried kuro's or even hills before. maybe i should try it.

thanks bro.

Since I have both the N4 and HTC One, I've been asked to take a few photos and compare. I've taken a few indoor shots and well, here you go, judge for yourself:

I don't know any better way to do it than just show you the Tumblr. But attached is an example:

HTC One on top, Nexus 4 on bottom.

Anyone else connect their phone to a PC and have the internal storage say 9.51GB and not 16GB? Does the phone use up over 6GB for the OS and stock apps? What gives?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] msherman123:
I show 9.62 available on mine. It is kind of odd, but they did add a TON of bloatware. Once we get root and can remove those apps, we should be able to recapture quite a bit back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jesi.james:
Could be like the HOX and have around 10 for whatever storage and 6 dedicated for app storage and software/rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mg2195:
Yeah...seems pretty typical for a phone. ..they arent lieing as they never said 16gb useable...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] TEC602:
Yeah mine shows 9.62 total space and 8.48 available after installing my apps from previous phone, kinda sucks but at least there is an SD slot.

I was curious so I checked my old Sprint GNEX 32GB, it also has a chunk missing, about 7.5GB missing, so it is similar.

It would be nice if they listed the missing space as Reserved or System etc. instead of not showing it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] geoldr:
Yup guys 16GB total internal. The ROM and software has to sit somewhere on there. And AT&T has added so much crap to it I'm not surprised. But thats what the SD card slot is for yeah?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Aou:
The stock apps seem to use up at least 1GB, plus any data they have.

Unsure about the system, but even the system for CyanogenMod 10.1 seemed to be around 600-800MB with all cache/data included. With TouchWIZ on these phones and all the extra bloat, it wouldn't surprise me if there were at least another gig in there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] geoldr:
Exactly. I heard the ROM file for the S4 was like 1.2 gigs or something like that. That's without cache and whatever else it needs to do.

I remember when I had the S3 the ROM file was like 800 megs for TW. And for AOSP it was like 250.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mg2195:
Even with a debloated rom its gonna be the same as the system partition is already set regardless of whats on it...just so you guys know :) of course it is posssiboe for a dev to tweak partition amounts...but they typically dont unless necessary
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PartialTotality:
So I've noticed that my phone pretty much never sleeps, and the battery drain is substantial. I installed Wakelock Detector and have narrowed the culprit down to the AlarmManager service in the Android System. I understand that this service itself is not the problem as it's simply used by other apps to keep the phone awake, but I have no way of narrowing down which apps are triggering the alarms. I understand it's possible by running sysdump alarm > file.txt from the terminal, but I've tried that and realized this requires root privilege, which I don't have. I'm at a complete loss as to how to nail the problematic app, so any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vctrrl:
Same here. Do you have high times of SyncLoopWakelock? I have a graph like yours when I had Instant Upload activated. If due to any settings it couldn't upload the pictures instantly (eg. taking a photo while under 3G and Instant Upload is set to upload only when connected to wifi) it would try sync every minute.

I have high times of Facebook AlarmManager and other AlarmManager probably from Google Now:

*sync*_com.android.contacts_Account_{name=3e06adb4738d4a831f95b21c71720167,_type=fm.last.android.account} (fm.last.android.Last.fm): 4 m 8 s (248 s) Count:4 1,1%

AlarmManager (com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.Pesquisa do Google): 3 m 48 s (228 s) Count:34 1,0%

ActivityManager-Launch (Sistema Android): 3 m 46 s (226 s) Count:843 1,0%

AlarmManager (com.facebook.katana.Facebook): 3 m 6 s (186 s) Count:190 0,8%

This is from my dump, but I think is not reliable because I was using the phone. By the way, you should install BetterBatteryStats if you don't have it. It's available on Play Store for a few bucks. You can get the apk for free in a thread in this forum, but if you don't mind support the developer I suggest to do it. He's a nice guy doing an awesome job.

So you just need to run BBS before sleeping, go to set custom ref and lock your screen. First thing you should as soon as you wake up is unlock your screen and save/share your dump.

As I'm experiencing the same issue we can compare our dumps and try to narrow what apps we have in common. Maybe it helps.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vctrrl:
Nothing much to add, but maybe a a wipe data can be helpful. You'll loose all you data and apps but will be able to know if it's an app thing.

Hello everybody,

I am using an XDA2 (=iMate) which sports a SDIO slot; furthermore, the device is listed in sandisk's compatibility listing. To connect to our wireless network (811.b), I use the Sandisk SDIO-Wireless-Lan-Adapter. I had no problems connecting to the access-point, I get a stable connection immediately, the indicated connection speed is 11 Mbit/sec. Since the distance to the ap is very small, link quality is near 100%.

The problem is that the maximum transfer performance I get is very poor. I get no more than 250Kbit/sec (=30Kbyte/sec), no matter if I do webbrowsing or simply copy files from other computer in the local area network. This is nothing compared to the ~5000Kbit/sec (=600Kbyte/sec) that an 811.b adapter should be capable of. I tried changing channels, but that did not change anything. I also hard-reseted my xda2 and installed nothing but the sandisk-drivers...no changes. Alternatively, I tried the driver from socket....works, but no changes in performance.

I have got the same problem at two different wireless networks (at work & at home), so it seems that the problem is on my system. I cannot test more than these two networks, since I do not know any others.

Has anybody got an idea what could cause this problem? How fast are your XDA2s with SDIO-Wifi?

Thanks in advance,

Stephen.
[Networking] samcory:
I had the same problem I returned my card and got a Socket one instead (from Expansys) I worked immediately.

After I returned it I read somewere that you must set your access piont to work at only the slower 11mbs and not the faster 22 or 56mbs and that will resolve the Sandisk problem.

I cannot verify this as I had returned my card, but my access piont was a Dlink one runnig at 56mbs

hi stephob12,

after reading this read i have googled around and found an article about socket sdio wlan card in a german computer magazine. the wrote that the sdio-specs do not allow transfer speeds > 35,7kb/sec regardless what sdio-card you are using (sandisk or socket). your performance of about 30kb/sec is really near the theoretical maximum limit.

i have no experience with those cards but i had planned to purchase one for my xda2 but i am slightly disappointet about that sdio limit :? . at home i use a bluetooth connection to my dsl access point and the speed is very good especially when you know that bluetooth with its 723kbit/sec is much slower than 802.11b with 11mb/sec.

i will now overthink whether to purchase a sdio wlan-card or not. at least not for the price of around 100 us$ or euros they have at the moment.

regards

Hi,

can you post the URL of the article you found?

or send it per PM if you prefer ...

and what do you mean with "socked one", which one is it ?

and no one has any information about how the Compact Flash one is working, by using the back pack - this would be an alternative, don't you think???

the card is a "SOCKET" you can see it on www.expansys.com it is offered as an alternative to SANDISK at thew same price.
