There is a known banding issue while using the rear camera if you have the FFC mod. Read through this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804146
ill give you a quick run down tho so you dont post adn get yelled at.
the reason it is happening is the FFC is always powered so the RFC lacks power, a user cut off the FFC on one of there cameras and the lines went away... that is the proof it was not a grounding issue... but a power issue.
new kernals have been tried and did not help much.
a way to turn off the FFC while the rear is in use failed.
right now it is still being worked on.. i think process is pretty slowed waiting for 2.2 to come out and the hopes that the vibrant plus will help the issue.
and the fringe thing... i have no clue why thats not working. I'm running Macnut R14 and i use fringe with my friend all the time and it works fine with the FFC.

I am a captivate owner and I am using Dilligafs 4.0 in captivate section of site. Flawless rom except we havent been able to get GPS to work at all. Wireless works for location but GPS does not work whatsoever. If someone can post their gps files and state the folder it is located in for me to try it would be of great assistance to us Captivate owners. Thanks in advance. Please no flaming I know this is a Vibrant forum but we Galaxy S owners should all work together for the greater cause of romunity....

Pretty much every recent ROM I've used has had very good GPS performance. I'm currently on Master's Axura 2.2.5.9. But I've tried both Eugene's Gingerbread Clone and TW's Nero v3 and both have properly working GPS for me. I'm no dev so I don't know what files have it working so well but someone might.
Nero V3, Eugene's R2 both have properly working GPS.
I have trouble working gps on nero v3...very slow. I went back to jk6 modem and this solved all issues.
Try "GPS Restore" from the Android Market, published by Samsung for the Galaxy S phones. Worked wonders on my phone. Sats lock up in 2 seconds flat!

You are in the wrong place my friend. You need to look on the captivate site on xda. you won't find a solution for your problem here
I had the same issue when i upgraded from JL4 to JL5 on Eugene's Ginger Clone. Flash the JL4 modem back over it and it will work flawlessly - I am living proof.

nero v3 here, indoor lock with 20 seconds, usually within 5, 15 foot accuracy.
Nero V3 perfect GPS. Less than 3 seconds!

Master's Axura 2.2.5.9 is the only ROM that worked for me for the GPS. Why don't you download the ROM and check the GPS files

What next? G2 owners posting in the dev section having touchscreen issues, justifying their actions because the vibrant and G2 both have touchscreens? Every time I visit these forums this crap gets more and more depressing......

No more responses unless you can answer his question
He just wants to know if someone can point him to the gps files in any of the roms. If you can do that, respond, if not no point talking about x rom locks in x secs!
Indoor lock that quick?...how? Did you perform the hardware fix or have a newer vibrant?

Here is the deal, the GPS files for the captivate, ARE NOT the same as the Vibrant, so it is pointless to post in the vibrant section.......
And he probably has a driver issue, we have no idea what he really wants, and i believe even he has not idea..... What are the "gps files"??? Does he means drivers (inserted in the kernel?). So yes this post is absolutely pointless in this site
While stefan.buddle may have been a little rude, he is right!
Essentially there are 2 basic problems with ALL the SGS phones. One the software was not 100% when released, now they have a patch that supposedly fixes the GPS, but it works for a while then get flaky.
The other is a hardware issue. The way the antenna in the SGS is made it is a spring clip that pushes against the antenna that is mounted on the backside of the internal case. alot of the phones especially the earlier manf.dated phones ,,,this clip doesn't touch completely resulting in a poor or inconsistent contact to the GPS antenna so poor locks.
So, to correct you have to go open the phone up and CAREFULLY bend this clip up to engage. To assist this not Squashing back down (my fix) cut a piece of the peanut cell foam to wedge in between the clip opening (the flat area) this will give you proper contact and WOW way better reception. Perfect? no way but it will be usable for sure !! also you clean the contact etc... common sense stuff....
Now remember this is not a tom-tom it even in the best working condition will not be as good as that (Samsung calls this GPS assist). But, you will be way happier......

That fix is for the vibrant, are you sure is also for the captivate also?????
I have had a captivate apart they look the same in the inside The Epic is different I have not pulled a Fascinate open to know what is what with them I would guess they are closer to the Epic
I enclosed a picture so you can see the tab touches a piece on the back internal case. I like taking things apart, if you do take it apart go to a music store and get 2 medium flat guitar picks it makes it easier and you do not damage the chrome trim. Take the screws out and then slide between the snap case connection with one get it in then put the other in and work them around about 30 % of the separation and voila' !!! it will open pretty easy. putting back together is way easier snaps in just make sure you get the little radio wire antenna out of the way

Check the Captivate forums, they have a thread with the equivalent hardware antenna fix.
I rooted my phone about two months ago and didnt have any problems at all. Used HTC's website and loaded cleanrom reborn 1.1 and the kernel that came with it is 2.6.35.13-g277012f
Recently, about a week or two ago, I noticed the camera starting to fail. It occasionally wouldnt load in 2D mode, just give me a black screen. Now, it rarely loads at all. Either the whole screen is black or it brings up the camera app (stock, instagram, fb, all the same) but the part of the screen that would show the picture is black. When I turn it to 3D mode the screen freezes, then flickers, and quickly closes to the home screen and still flickers for about 3 seconds then is fine.
My questions are this, could this be caused due to needing an update, a new ROM or new hardware? Also what do you all recommend as far as the best ROM for taking pictures?
And on an unrelated note, does anyone know a good ROM that supports 4G hotspot instead of it just automatically switching to 3G??
Thanks
As for the camera failing sorry to here that but you can down load the amaze camera from the dev section and they have all different version of it and its for both CDMA and gsm

That sounds like a software issue.. Might be the rom or the kernel.

My camera just started acting up also, I went ahead and wiped everything and installed bone stock rom (rooted only) and camera is still messed up.
When I use the main camera it works fine, when I switch to front facing camera - it stays on the main camera and just inverts the image
Is this a hardware or software issue? I am guessing it is the hardware
Let me know what you guys think.

If am S-off would I have to re-root if I tried that?
Yup. Running an ruu removes root. Just don't run the hboot1.5 ruu if your on hboot1.4. It will save you a headache.
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
I would reflash the rom before ruuing

Nah. Just run the ruu. Make sure your battery is over 85% imo things go a lot smoother.
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
I really do appreciate the replies, but not sure I am willing to run the RUU and re-root since it is a pretty high likelihood that it is a hardware failure since I went back to completely 100% stock (only rooted) ROM. Torn on getting a replacement and having to deal with the Hboot 1.5 mess just so I can use the face unlock feature in ICS or stick with what I have an no FFC.
I installed cm9 on my atrix 4g, and the only issue that concern me is the video camera. I move it to the sides wile recording and it has a few seconds of lag. Ie, it takes few seconds to catch up with the camera movement. Any one having the same issue? Is there a camera that can be installed to correct this in the atrix 4g? I have searched all over the internet and still have no clues as of this. Thanks in advance...

I dont want to be a ***** but you didn't search enough because this is one of a few well known bugs that cm9/10 due to lack of drivers. Read the op of the rom you installed and follow it for what works for people.
Hello all, this is my first post in the S2 section. I bought a very cheap S2 today but it has 1 issue (hence why it was cheap). The rear camera will only focus on close objects (>30cm) OR when it is facing up. If I point my phone down to look at the floor for example, it won't focus on anything unless i'm ~30cm from the floor. If i point my phone to the sky or higher than eye level it will focus. It sometimes will focus when I point it at eyelevel but it usually wont. I have updated it to XWLSS and the still issue persists. I bought this phone because i thought that this issue was a software issue but updating it to 4.1.2 didn't fix it.
Camera firmware: SCEF02.
Phone Firmware: TBEC28.
I don't have FPS issues or pink issues, only focusing issues. I've tried other camera apps (lgCamera) but that didn't fix it either. I don't think my camera module is completely broken because it still focuses when pointed higher than eye level. If i select macro in camera settings, nothing changes so that's why I think it might be a software issue. This issue happens in both video and photo mode. The front camera works fine and everything else is fine. Is there anything that can be done hardware wise or software wise? I don't want to change my module due to laziness and lack of experience but is there anything I could do like resolder the module? Anything else I can do software wise? If it helps, I also have an i9100T (Telstra model, identical to the i9100 except for the radio).
If people don't really understand by what I mean (issue wise) i'll make a video showing the focusing range and non focusing range.
Could reinstalling the camera firmware fix it? Or installing a different version?

If anyone does have this problem, I fixed this specific i9100 by changing the camera module.

Add solved to thread title pls :thumbup: good job solving this mate. :thumbup:
My Evo 3D CDMA (Sprint) rooted screen would be registering random screen press in multiple areas on its own. I ordered a digitizer and replaced it myself. After I put everything back together the phone booted up like normal screen works perfect. Although when I select the camera it shows a black screen and freezes the phone to where the only way to exit the camera is to pull the battery. Sorry if this is in the wrong section it is my first post.
-Thanks
What Rom are you running? Are you S-off
Sent from my Evo 3D CDMA using xda premium
Some ROMs that are still in a buggy state can have issues with the camera. If you are using a custom ROM, that could be your issue, but if its the standard stock ROM, this might just be hardware and then that causing software failure...
I am running ZR3D I believe by Team 420. I'm still S-On also. I don't use the camera very often so i'm not sure if it was like that before i replaced the screen or until afterwards. I found out recently that the front facing camera that would be used for mirror apps for self photos does work after replacing the digitizer.

If I upload the rom I have and post a link can someone check out the rom for me to see if it's just me or not?
I have the same problem after i replaced the digitizer. Did you solved the problem ?
