Does anybody notice the same issue?
My phone is not rooted. After the official update to 2.2 (ED01) I found this problem with all apps on my Fascinate that have the scan function: google goggle, shopsavvy, amazon, etc. Sometimes they crash at starting (goggle will force the phone to reboot), but most of the time you can open the app and scan properly once or twice, then the scanner fails to auto-focus or adjust brightness or white balance, getting no response. Hitting any keys on screen or the back key will only end up with vibrating and screen-blackout. I can only exit the situation by hit home and kill the app in task manager.
I found a similar post around xda:

The problem is said to be associated with the stock Email.apk and will be gone once you run the email app. But this solution doesn't work for me.
Anyone has more idea?
I just tested out Google Shopper and Barcode Scanner with two barcodes each, and neither had any issue. Have you opened up the camera app since updating? Froyo brought about new camera firmware, so if you haven't opened Camera since updating, that could be what's causing the FCs.
The stock camera app and third-party apps like retro camera both have no issue. The picture-taking function goes well, problems only come when the app need to scan back and forth and auto adjust.

Thank you for testing that for me. Can more people try out? Am I the only one that have this issue?
If so I assume this is an individual problem that can be fixed by factory reset, although I am reeeeaaaally unwilling to do that.
My phone is all tricked out and everything works great.
I tried on my wife's phone which is stock and it has numerous issues with camera, google goggles, market, barcode scanner, etc... surprised she's not noticed. :/
Rebooted and everything worked.
Google Goggle's might have crashed and caused the initial issue.
So, maybe just a reboot will help you?
Thanks, but I have no luck with that. Roboot doesn't help at all in my case. I even uninstalled the Goggles and the other scanner apps still suffered the same issue.
Google goggles works for me

I have wiped and flashed Gingerbread quite a few times. HKTW, then kennethpenn's Beta 4, then Beta 4 with faux123's custom kernel.
Something happened between the flashing and backup/restore through Titanium Backup. Google Music (from the market) runs painfully laggy when it is running in the foreground. What's weird is that I see the FC message pop up for it randomly every 5 minutes, even when I haven't run it yet. (I'm guessing an event is triggering its start)
Anyways. I did disable some things from triggering using Autostarts. Maybe I should set them back.
Anyways, what's even more weird is that once I uninstall Music, another FC, even more annoying, for some Google app framework pops up. (I forget, too lazy) This FC shows up with almost any app at anytime. And, I can neither install nor uninstall apps using the market (the market actual FCs upon trying to do so). Thank God I had a backup of Google Music, but I had to return to its FC problem.
I am probably going to reflash and be careful what I restore, but I'm just wondering...what happened? I'm into IT and development, so I can take what you throw at me.
I'm just not developing for Linux, including Android, yet. I'm mainly into scripting languages right now, but I can learn others fairly easily. Why am I talking about this? xD
Anyways, just a bit curious if anybody knows. I don't exactly know most of the processes that run in the background on Android.

Recently updated to Ineffabilis Deus and have some annoying bugs with the different reddit apps I've tried. Not sure if this is an ICS problem or an Ineffabilis problem.
50% of imgur links display for a split second and then go to blank screen. If I zoom in, the picture comes back.
All youtube links open in Chrome rather than the youtube app. I tried clearing defaults for Chrome. I also tried the "App associations" menu in settings, but I don't see the youtube app as an option for anything in there. I also used to have (on Gingerbread) an option to send youtube links to xbmc, via xbmc remote app, but that's gone too.
Anyone know if this is an ICS thing or an issue with the ROM? I don't think it's a problem with the apps, since the same thing happens on both reddit apps I've tried and I don't see anyone complaining about it in the comments for those apps.
Any other redditors on ICS had problems (or solutions)?
On ICS with exact same ROM and issues using baconreader here.
Will troubleshoot.
Mine shows some, while others do as you explained. I am stock rooted 3.14.

Youtube links won't play in YouTube on Ics or sense 3.6 I don't know which controls what. Something to do with an Apple patent lawsuit if I'm not mistaken
To allow yourself to be able to select apps to launch instead of launching chrome or the default browser automatically, you must uninstall "htclinkifydispatcher" using titanium backup or something similar. This stops the phone from automatically choosing default apps and will let you choose from whatever browsers you have installed (or youtube, if you are trying to watch a video) instead. So far the only issue I've found with eliminating this app is that whenever I try to launch a link sent to me in gtalk, gtalk force closes. Otherwise I am given the freedom of choice of which app to launch when browsing reddit. If you don't care too much about a partially malfunctioning google talk, uninstall htclinkifydispatcher. Back it up first (just in case other apps start malfunctioning, for me only google talk is affected, but it may vary for others) and then uninstall. Freezing it will not work.
Hope this helps

Issue with all direct link static images in baconreader. Animated GIFs or where it renders the website too are fine. Also only has an issue on first load, have to zoom or back out and reselect link to make image reappear. Once cached, the image renders fine on a re-read.
Yet to find any combo of Developer options, Display, or stock browser settings (assuming baconreader may render links with stock browser settings) to address that particular problem...
Edit: Recommend deselecting "Open links in app" in baconreader and in other apps if available, if that issue cannot be resolved. Feedback from other ROM users appreciated. May ask the developer about bug.
Edit 2: Stock browser settings have no influence on the issue, app renders direct link images independently.

Yeah I use google talk a lot but not nearly as often as I browse reddit. It's so frustrating trying to watch a YouTube video in chrome instead of the designated app. I think this problem (feature?) alone makes me want aosp more than anything else about sense on ics. Give me freedom to choose my apps!
I found this problem with baconreader and reddit is golden. It's annoying but but I just double tap the imgur and it shows (zooming).
Hi there. Please, could you guys help me with my camera app trouble? I've got Huawei Mate 9 Pro with latest updated Android 9 (EMUI 9.1, details below) and I use original Huawei camera app. I like this phone and everything worked just fine, till now... Two weeks ago I tried tu use my camera app and I couldn't. I didn't install any new 3rd party app lately. When I press the camera app button camera starts with black screen and error message "Camera Error - camera was disabled because of safety reasons" and then it shutdowns. I also get error messages in all other apps that use camera - Whatsapp says "Unable to start camera, restart your phone", Messenger says "We're sorry, camera doesn't work. It may be necessary to close other apps that are using camera", and so on... Like I said - I didn't install any other app lately, so everything is like it was.
What's interesting - I tried to run my phone in Repair mode and there camera app works fine, everything is ok. But when I switch to my account and phone profile it doesn't work.
I tried to stop camera app, clear the cache and data. Tried to wipe phone cache and reset apps permissions. I checked all camera app permissions - everything is ok. I called the Huawei consumer help center and they didn't know how to help me, just said I need to run factory reset. So, frustrated, I made a factory reset with backup. After reset and restoring backup of all apps and data, and security update of phone - the camera app worked again! I could make pictures and movies... for one day. After night I tried to run camera app again, and there's the error again. Now I'm helpless... Please, help me. What could be the reason of this error?
My guess is that some other app uses camera app or it was disabled (locked / banned) by Google Account or something? Why? Could it be blocked for "safety reasons" because of some specific photo?
Huawei Mate 9 Pro
Android 9
EMUI 9.1
Compilation 9.1.0.254(C432E7R1P6patch03)
Camera app version 9.1.0.333
Up. Anyone could help me? Problem still exists...
Did you manage to find a solution ?
edit : found out what was causing mine, sensors were set to off in an app, forgot to turn back on. works agein
I have had an issue with Chrome since I bought the phone. Chrome randomly froze for anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes or more. Another phone purchased at the same time does not do it. I tried clearing Chromes data and uninstalling and reinstalling all Chrome updates but it did not help. I finally have it fixed now so I thought I would share what worked. Go into settings, then apps. Find Android System Web view. Disable it. That will clear all data and uninstall updates. Then reinstall it. That cured my problems.

You can uninstall via adb or disable it via the lg package disabler in the market. If you don't use adb there's a tutorial on XDA.

Yeah I need to find time to do this. I am so sick of it, several times a day it re-enabling itself, I have to go uninstall from play store, go to apps, wipe cache, wipe data, then location gets enabled, I have to deny that and then force stop and disable. It is so irritating.
Thanks, I'm giving this a try. When it freezes for me, I can get it unstuck by tapping the recent apps button, then going directly back to Chrome, so has only been a minor annoyance. Pretty sure it happened on my Razer Phone 2 as well.
After re-enabling ASW, did you update it again on the Play store? I did, but too soon to see if this works for me.
Chrome has been working like absolute trash for months on a lot of android phones. I don't know the exact reason. It's happened on almost all recent OnePlus phones as well and is well documented. I have the issue on this v60, on my OnePlus 7t and on my note 10+. However, chrome beta works much better than standard chrome in my experience.
Well this trick didn't work for me. Still freezing multiple times a day.

Yes, I did repudiate. The only issue I have now is that sometimes two finger zoom stops working. (I have zoon enabled in accesibility settings)
As the title suggests, over the past few days Bottom Quick Settings has started crashing when I restart my phone.
If I set the phone up and install BQS and then -NEVER- restart, it works, but if I restart it, after rebooting the Accessibility Service associated with BQS crashes and the app will not load.
I've been using the app for years now, and this is a very very recent issue.
I've factory reset my phone several times and tried alternating ways of setting it up, however as soon as I log into my google account, upon the next restart, BQS crashes.
I've even set Play Store to not auto-update anything before associating my account, but the issue still appears.
Any suggestions folks?
Same issue for me. I installed an earlier version, malfunctioning still occurs.
Anyone can recommend alternative apps?

There are no alternatives, I've been searching since making the post.
It appears that an update to Android has made the app unstable, I've tried everything to fix it, nothing works. I've emailed the developer and raised a bug ticket on their site, but no response yet.
