so prior to being on venom 4.2, i was on venom 3.xx. i had no problems prior.

i flash 4.2, and had no problems related to the camera not working. i had other problems though, after reflashing 4.2 those problems went away, but now a new problem came up.

after a restart, i can use the camera maybe once, or take one photo. after that, the screen through the camera will be frozen on screen. i can still take pictures, but it will only be off what is on the screen. after closing the camera, or force closing it,upon trying to open the camera app again, it barely loads, then force closes automatically and i get an "unable to start camera" bubble on screen. i can see only the grid outline of the camera, off center and such very briefly ontop of my wallpaper.

i can do a reset on my phone, and resume taking pictures, sometimes i am fine to continue, other times its the same problem. this is a very common recurring problem for me.

looking at my apps, i see 2 cameras installed, one is the new 5.0, and the other is the old 4.xx camera. i have frozen the 4.xx camera before through titanium, and it doesnt fix it. should i uninstall the 4.xx camera altogether?

subsequent reflashing of this rom doesnt fix this issue. and i dont know what else to do rather than reflashing the rom from a blank slate. previous reflashings have been on top of the current rom.

i would rather not have to start new as this phone has crappy amoint of space, and i cannot back up all my apps and settings.

i dont know if it is kernel related. prior to 4.2 i was using elemental x, after 4.2 i switched to beastmode since i wasnt soff.

is there perhaps a way i can manually start the camera through root browser?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
If you've got both versions of camera in your app drawer I'm guessing you dirty flashed the ROM, which has most likely caused your problems. Clean flash the ROM and see if it fixes your issue. This is why I'm totally against dirty flashing anything.

I don't understand how you don't have space to back up your apps, I have a backup of every app I've ever used and still have tons of space left over. The fact that you mention backing up settings troubles me, restoring system settings after flashing a new ROM will more than likely cause problems for you.

When you're flashing a ROM don't do it the lazy way, do it the right way, perform a full wipe (cache/dalvik cache/factory reset/system) and start clean. It only takes a few minutes to setup your ROM from scratch. Restore your apps but don't restore any system data.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chinaman_chong:
thanks for the reply.

as suggested, I did a complete reset. wiped the caches, factory reset, and system reset.

installed from scratch. But i am still having the camera issue?

now its just not loading at all. black screen, then close. no error message. and no unable to start message.

could it perhaps be a hardware issue at this point?

without restoring anything, under apps, I still see two instances of the camera app. one at 5.1, and one at 4.2.2. can anyone confirm this is normal?

the only thing out of the ordinary, within the past few months, my phone has been getting crazy hot at times. specifically right below the lens of the rear camera. I was getting this heat from charging, or even certain apps. Definitely attribute that to the age of the phone. as apps that ran smooth when the phone was new, no longer are so.

I dont know if the heat can cause hardware damage?

also, not sure how relevant this is in the context of my situation. but apps that use the camera do not work either when the camera is needed, such as snapchat and instagram.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Since the clean flash did you at least end up with only the more recent version of the camera in your app drawer? You could be looking at some kind of hardware malfunction, or even a problem with the ImageSense proprietary chip that is utilised to operate the camera. The fact that the camera works sometimes would suggest that all is not lost. Have you tried flashing an aosp ROM to see if anything changes? I'd suggest trying that, and if that doesn't work you should try running an RUU to see if a completely stock setup will help.

The phone heating up near the camera lens isn't abnormal for this device. The amount that it heats up can change significantly depending on the ROM/kernel that you're running. You should definitely try not to use CPU intensive apps while the device is charging.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chinaman_chong:
no, the clean flash still left both cameras in my "manage apps", i have never seen two camera icons in my app drawer.

as of right now, i cannot get the camera to run in any way. even with a reboot. The only reason I really did the clean reflash, was because the camera wasnt working at all today. I did a bit more digging around, and it seems like this is a fairly common problem for the one x. there seems to be quite a few people, even on stock roms, that cannot seem to remedy this. and a few have chalked it up to a hardware problem, some have been confirmed, and others not so much.

I really dislike flashing this phone. ive encountered so many hiccups and scares(mainly a few soft bricks here and there). I really prefer the "if its not broken, it doesnt need fixing approach" here, granted my camera is shot.

one of the reflashes today was giving me wifi errors with wifi not even turning on. I really want to avoid potentially more problems, unless a fix is deemed more definite. Thank you for all your help timmaaa!

im just in need of a new phone now. so many problems, and so many things the phone can no longer do effectively. random reboots, overheating, battery life, even the charging rate. this phone has become crap. Ive always hated the lack of expandable memory. I really dont know why I didnt choose a different phone over this at the time.

i really like the htc one, but i feel like many of the nuisances in the one X will follow over.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
There's nothing wrong with this phone. Given the right amount of knowledge and care the thing doesn't skip a beat. Even though there is no such thing as a soft brick (a phone is either bricked or it isn't), whatever it is that people experience in those so called "soft brick" instances is caused by user error 99% of the time. I've seen it time and time again.

Any phone available on the market can experience any amount of issues if it isn't handled correctly. You got unlucky and your camera is most likely shot, but any other problem you've encountered comes with the territory of flashing unofficial firmware and software, it isn't anything wrong with the device itself. These are possibilities you need to be comfortable with if you're going to modify your device.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chinaman_chong:
Yea, I assumed there were gonna be risks when I rooted my phone. Dont know if any of the issues I had were related to rooting or not.

The soft brick scare I had was due to a flash that went wrong for no apparent reason.

another update on my phone. I noticed my front facing camera has no issues whatsoever. unluckily for me, I cannot even access my camera, to toggle to the front facing camera to even attempt to check it out. Instagram also does not allow me to switch either, it just gives me an error saying it cannot connect to a camera, then closes. snapchat's rear facing camera is just a black screen for me, but it doesnt force close, so I am able to toggle to the front camera, and it works just fine.

is there a setting or something I can modify, for now, so the front facing camera is the default?

my brother's one x recently went out this year too. I am gonna try to salvage his camera, and see if it will fix my problem.

I have not taken apart this phone yet, is the camera soldered or held in with connectors?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Have you tried an RUU yet like I previously suggested?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
If a couple hiccups and scares are too much for your, then it might be that modding phones is not for you. These types of things happen time to time to even those experienced with flashing ROMs. Occasional setbacks and troubleshooting is just part of the game. If that is too much for you, than don't play.

As timmaaa already mentioned, failure to boot is not the phone's fault; and its almost always a matter of user error and not following the procedures properly.

Random software errors like random rebooting, overheating, etc. are often easily remedied with the proper steps. They are likely not issue with the phone itself, but rather a result of improper steps while flashing the ROMs. I've flashed many ROMs on this device, and have never suffered any such issues that I couldn't solve easily.

As for your other complaints about the phone (lack of expandable memory, why you didn't choose another phone), I don't know why you even posted them, as they are not constructive. Those still on this forum are mostly here because we love the phone and remain loyal to it. Your comments aren't going to help your issue, and will only annoy fans of the device. Better to keep such comments to yourself.

If you hate the phone so much, go buy another one and be done with it. But crying about it isn't going to solve anything.

I would suggest you follow timmaaa's advice, and flash the appropriate RUU to "start over".

S-off is highly recommended before RUU, as running certain RUUs with S-on and SuperCID will brick the phone.

I have the same device and the same problem.

It doesn't depends of firmware or kernel or camera app..

I thought it's hardware problem but it is not. Because i was changing the camera module and it doesn't helps((

Buy one from Republic Wireless for $299 every/any day.

This only works if their service works for you. And you only have 30 days to try it out. There is no call center and you are expected to use WiFi where it is available. And don't ding up the phone if you expect to get a full refund -- minus $10 shipping -- on it. (On a serious not, as opposed to most of my post here, their RMA contractor actually does look at returned phones under a lighted magnifier.)

Would you be willing to pay $5, $10, $25, or up to $40 a month for service though? :) Especially with no contract?

On top of that they are only rated number two in the PC Magazine poll for best carrier.

Maybe just skip it. ;)

Hello. I have saferoot'ed and safestrap'ed my SCH i535. I then flashed MOAR rom on a separate partition and launched MOAR 9.0! Now the problem is that I cannot get WIFI to work. My data doesn't work either, since I am using an AT&T sim in a VZW phone. I can get the data to work on stock rom. Anyone else having these issues? Any suggestion?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gs3-learning:
OK. I have the data working, it had mistyped my APN :). However I still don't have WIFI. Anyone else having this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Did you flash the kernel modules after you flashed moar from the safestrap thread?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gs3-learning:
Badusername,

I don't quiet follow. How do you flash kernel modules? Can you point me in the right direction, BTW I followed the link here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
In the safestrap thread there are kernel modules you need to flash following every rom installation, you flash them after each rom installation on the new slot. If you don't wifi won't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gs3-learning:
I re-read the safestrap post again and found that I missed the step you mentioned! Thanks for the clarification. Is there anything I can do to get my VZW phone get faster data speeds. Using Ookla, I get ~0.14Mbps download and 0.10 upload speeds. Thanks.

Hello Guys, i have a Motorola Droid Razr xt910 and it has a very strange problem, Bootloop! its not the usual problem i am not a noob so Ive tried all thats known factory reset and flashing fastboot via rsdlite i did that too but the problem comes after that. After i flash stock 4.1.2 eu firmware it boots the first time(firstboot) but then after that if i power it off and start it again it will again get stuck in bootloop. every time. tried different firmware everything. it was running on 2.3 asia f/w and i updated it to 4.1.2 after which the problem occurred!? help!!??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Vallerino WR:

Is this my motherboard dying? Is it possible to **** up the motherboard via flashing the bootloader ( because my phone stopped working right after I did that ) ?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 西村大一:
sure, what you just did is "brick" the phone. the bootloader is the thing that controlls the booting process and the vital stuff. your symptoms are the sign of a partial-brick, because you can still turn on the phone. I recommend you taking the phone to a service where thaey have a JTAG machine so they can flash back the bootloader and then the stock rom. Most times, the stock rom comes with a bootloader but in this case, it is the wrong bootloader, so, your only choice is to take the phone to a service shop with a JTAG device and have it repaired.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ApkMackAttack:
Hello & Thanks for Stopping By,

I'd like to start off by saying that I tried researching a bit before making a post. My current issue is that the Final Fantasy Dimensions & Final Fantasy IV games do not play on the Triforce 5.4 for my Samsung Galaxy S4. Whenever I go to start the game by clicking on the APK both games simply freeze for a brief second and then give a minor black screen with nothing happening. For the record the other Final Fantasy Titles play just fine: such as FFIII,FFV, and FFVI.

I've read that anything with the Xposed framework in it may cause this issue. I tried to see if I could pinpoint what might be causing this issue that I believed to be built into the ROM as many people say they have had success with just uninstalling the Xposed framework to play the games and then re-installing when they're finished. I'm don't believe that the ROM has Xposed written into it, but I believe there may be something giving this issue. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks In Advance!

Team Darkdroid I know that u r the best.But there are some bugs in the S Galaxy V.2 Custom rom for A110Q Canvas 2 plus.the following are the bugs

*The camera app is not in the app drawer and it is in the homescreen.If i remove the camera app from homescreen i can't use the camera app.I need a solution for this.

*Secondly the most important thing is that the AccuWeather widget shows wrong time when i add the city.And also the weather widget is off by somewhat 4 or 5 hours.When I remove my city it shows the correct time.The time at the bottom right is correct but at the big top left it is off by 4hrs.I've removed the widget,removed the city,rebooted the phone,switched simcards,used GPS to detect my location.Everything failed.Please tell me how to fix this bug.otherwise everything is perfect and awesome.I really like ur CusRoms.

I am trying to get active sync to work over my bluetooth connection to my laptop. I have a partnership defined in the phone, serial port, com 6. I can connect to the phone from the laptop via the bluetooth connection manager. However, when I try and "connect via bluetooth" from the phone it tells me no partnership exists that can connect via bluetooth. However, one clearly does. I also try and connect to the phone over bluetooth from my laptop with active sync, and it just says it can't find the phone. ANy suggestions?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] foxbat121:
You need remove the partenership and re-pair with your PC from within Active Sync (using Connect via BT). You have to let ActiveSync handle the profile thing instead of manually setup COM port. Once you paired this way, you will see an ActiveSync profile listed for your PC on your phone. Don't try to outsmart ActiveSync. It's really dumb and only works according to its way.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] sk7575:
Tried it

I tried that and its still not working. Same message from the phone. I dont see anywhere in activesyc though that has profiles. Am I missing something? Do i need a newer version of activesync? (I am running summiters latest rom 2.3 for cingular).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] foxbat121:
Did you remove profiles from both phone and PC. You don't want to manally set COM port connection. After pairing from ActiveSync, you PC will be listed with an ActiveSync Service option instead of Serial port option.
