ED01 Camera Problem - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Phone is set-up with debinged-debloated ED01 ROM and OTB 1.6 kernel.
Camera occasionally locks-up. At first I popped the battery (and lost all my photos) to re-boot the phone. Got tired of losing all my photos so I just left the phone alone to see what happens and it re-booted itself after a few minutes and saved my photos.
Bummer is I lost some cool photos from my vacation.
Anyone know a fix for this problem?
Thanks.

Same here except im on comrom 2.0 i wonder if i gotta do a fresh install hmmm...on a side note you can soft reset the phone by pressing and holding power and volume up for about 5-10 seconds

Try to use PBJ -50 kernel.
If that doesnt work, you need to reformat your SDcard.
If that doesnt work, record videos and try to get an average of when it gets recording failures, then pause 1 second before it reaches that threshold, wait a second and continue recording. Do this in the same interval for a full 3 minute recording.
I had the same problem as you guys, especially with recoding videos and it seems to have gone away after doing all of the steps above.

Cool will give this a try thx

PBJ -50 will cure it. Did for me anyways. OTB and my camera do not play nice at all.

EC10 Kernel Problem?

So I can't post in the developer section yet but, I have noticed a problem since flashing to the EC10 kernel. If I have messaging open and in a message if I hit the power button to put the phone e to sleep it crashes and reboots.
I was running, Super Clean 2.9, DL09, EB16, no voodoo
I wiped all data, cache and dalvik cache, then using clockwork flashed the kernel then super clean again.
Now I'm running SuperClean 2.9, DL09, EC10, no voodoo and have the problem?
I'm going to try and reflash everything tonight, just wondering if anyone else expierenced this? I can repeat the problem over and over so its not just a random fluke.
*edit*
So I can crash the phone about 75% of the time, sometimes usually by trying to put the phone to sleep with a program open.
*edit*
So after deleting that particular conversation the problem no longer occurs. Not sure what the deal was.
Im thinking it had something to do with a mms file you recieved or sent

So I spoke to soon, the problem occurs in other things besides messaging.
My phone crashed 20+ times today. I can pretty much cause it crash on purpose at this point. It will almost always crash if I try and put it to sleep without returning to the home screen before putting it to sleep, or before it puts itself to sleep. If I return to the home screen first it really doesn't do it. When it goes to sleep the menu, home, back, search buttons all light up, but the screen is off, if I'm on the phone or have music playing, that continues for 10-15 seconds, then the boot animation appears, and it has restarted.
I do have the log files to if that would help anyone?
I'm so relieved I'm not the only one experiencing this! I was beginning to think that my phone was physically broken or something.
Like Ohio I'm experiencing lots and lots of crashes and restarts when I hit the power button to turn the screen off and even sometimes when the screen goes off on its own, and this happens on SC2.9.2 for me, but I also think it was happening on AOSP with an EC10 kernel, though I'd written it off at the time as a fluke before it started happening every few minutes on SC.
I can make it crash very frequently by pressing the power button while I'm watching a Youtube video or if I am at the glass swipe lockscreen and I press the power button while holding the phone upside down to turn the screen off. Very strange. In addition, it also does it seemingly randomly throughout the day, and it actually did it again not 3 minutes ago for no reason at all as it was just on the homescreen.
I have no recollection of this ever happening before EC10, and I've tried multiple EC10 kernels with UV and standard voltage as well as multiple ROM installs after complete wipes, all of which produce similar results.
I don't know if it's related, but I've also been experiencing freezes where the screen stays on but becomes completely unresponsive, save for the touch keys which will still flash but not make the haptic feedback work. I have to do a battery pull to get it to work again. I can make THIS happen merely by browsing the Reddit Is Fun app for about five minutes, which it has never, ever done before, but I've also had it freeze up on me at other times as well, including two minutes after a SC install where I was just signing into the Market.
I'm going to go back to an EB kernel and see if things go a little better. Are there others out there having these issues with EC10?
I went back to Superclean 2.9.0 with its stock EB01 kernel, and I've had no more issues with the crashes and resets at screen off.

I'm not having these issues. Try to fix permissions and wipe the dalvik cache (under advanced in CWM).

[Q] Phone Crashing/Rebooting at random times!!!

So the problem started yesterday when I was on asop cm7, I was having an issue where when ever I got on a call, my screen would shutoff and I would be unable to open it to use the dialpad or hangup or anything. When the call ended the phone would just stay like this, and the only fix would be to remove the battery.
So I backed up my data, and moved back down to Bumblebee 2.3, but the problem followed me to this new rom....
I did a reset from recovery, wiped caches, and ran the bumblebee wiper before I installed. Now not only is it still having the phone issue, but it randomly reboots while I'm playing on it. If i dont use it, it wont reboot, just sit there. Im soooo stumped. Im about to goto Harmonia 1.2 and test that out....
Anyone have any idea whats going on?
If you overclocked your CPU. Turn it down a notch. Every CPU is different can can only handle so much until it becomes unstable and reboots. Mines stable at 806mhz
Yeah I lowered my overclock and that helped the random reboots, but it still messes up during calls, the screen cant be accessed and it freezes or something after hangup.... so stumped
FIXED... it was a proximity sensor issue. =D

Sound issues

Phone ringer and notification sounds go silent by themselves, phone is not in silent mode, all other sounds work, when i try to change them, i dont here them, only way to fix them is to restart phone but after half a day they randomly go silent again, all other sounds such as media work

new update, phone wont play mp3s or any video files, camera force closes and when it does start to work, i can only take pictures in 3mp and record video in vga, in the setting the hd and widescreen options disappear, gonna try to rsd the new 189_7 build, anyone know any reasons behind this?
this started couple of days back, phone went into a boot loop, it would boot up all the way, stay on for 3 mins and reboot, it eventually stopped by it self but then all these issues started.

Did you have any luck after doing the rsd? I believe the newest is actually 198_6.
Yup the issues got resolved, didnt lose anything either, the newest one is 198_7 in the dev section

Ringer volume auto-adjusts?

For months, I've been having a problem with the ringer auto-adjusting itself.
At work, I turn the volume down to level 3, and when I leave, I turn it back up to 6. About halfway through the day, I'll get a text, or a call, and my ringer is back up at level 6 all by itself. I find I have to re-adjust the volume a couple of times a day to keep it low.
Then when I leave work, within a few minutes of turning the volume back up, it returns to 3. It will do this a couple of times a night, and even on the weekends. It doesn't seem to have a regular time where it does it, but it happens almost every day. I can't tell you how many calls I've missed because of this.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a fix for it, or is it being caused by an app, or what? Doesn't matter what rom I'm running, it just keeps happening.
I've experienced this too on Infected 1.4.2 and 1.5 (sense 3.0) and Synergy Roms. Can't remember if i've seen this in stock and I haven't tried any other roms... It just hasn't affected me to the point where I cared...
I don't remember if it happened stock or not, but it has happened on Synergy, Infected, and now Warm. I just can't figure it out.
mine does the same thing bro.. im not rooted.. stock..
Maybe it's an app causing it?
still cant figure it out?? its drivin me crazy!! ill have the volume down all the way some one will call and its full blast.. ****s gona blow my speaker!
Do you have a list of your apps? Maybe everyone having this issue have a common app installed.
Pocket mode on?

I noticed some ringtones play on media volume while others play on phone volume. Just thinking, but I do remember having a control issue where my media volume kept reseting to a default level randomly.

Pocket mode was turned on, but I don't believe that had anything to do with it.
I may have figured it out when it does it though. Every time I make or receive a call, the volume goes back up. I just tested it by making 3 calls in a row, and every time I hung up, the ringer volume was back up. I would turn it down, make a call, and it's back up again. I just wish I could figure out why it's doing that.

Odd Behavior?

I'm rooted. I have SPB 3D Shell and about 80 app's. I love the phone and I usually just listen to Pandora or ZumoCast. The last 3 days, I have, for the most part, not touched the phone.
Yesterday, it started freezing between screen. When I try to go back to home screen, it was black. I had to press and hold the home button until latest open apps came up, then select home? I got rid of SBP 3D with no success.
Now, here is a real kicker. I bring up my last dialed numbers. Lets say, for instance, I want to call Joker (Had to pick on someone). I will press that, nothing. I will press it again, nothing. I press it again, nothing. I get mad and put it down. the next time i turn the screen on, it will dial joker. I hang up, it immediately dials him again. I hang up, again it will call him! Once for each time I hit the button. When I make calls, it could take me 45 seconds to hang up!
I rebooted. I removed the battery, soft reset. I'm lost! If I was doing something or recently installed an app, that would explain it. Wed she was my baby, Thurs she went to he** and I have no clue?
Think it's kernel lag... I been having those issues also.. From stock to skinny to cm7...

but I swear to you, I have sent @ 30 text and made exactly 9 phone calls. Nothing else, no news, no stocks, no banking, no pictures, notta (I have been busy at work, but damm)
Any clue how to fix said "Kernel lag?"
I also had a lot of lag at one time and was able to isolate it to GoWeather. I've been using GoLauncher for a while and thought I'd try their weather app. Soon after, I started having serious lag with everything so I got rid of GoWeather and all is well again. Perhaps SPB has a similar problem with one of their add-ons?
Well folkes, dont ask me who, what, why, where, or how. SPB 3D Shell somehow automatically restarted (No, I did not power off/on the phone?) and as of last night, phone was 100% back like nothing ever happen in the first place?
All I did was plug it in Satruday AM, made one call in the afternoon, plugged it back in, made work call from 1:00AM-5:00AM Sunday, plugged it back in, heard text notification @5:00PM, unplugged and noticed that SPB 3D was on, flashed thru the different panels...............back to normal?
I did not think about it until just now with beartrap's post, I mentioned I turned off SPB 3D, when I did that, my Weather & Toggle Widget disappeared from my home screen? I left it that way as I did not feel like playing with phone the was it was acting. Then, as stated above, out of the blue, everything was back to normal.
I had some problems with spb after the last update. Haven't been using it for about a week now.

Now that you mentioned it, 12/08/2011, latest SBP and Weather Toggle Widget Update is EXACTLY when I started having issues (slowness & freezing) but it did not go full blown cahos until the 15th.
Looking back now, I do remember off-&-on moving between panels, it would freeze for a second then reload SPB 3D, then go to home screen? I just never thought to look?
Lastly, because I have Sprint and the fact that i'm lazy and hate the automatic notifications, all my app's are set to Auto Update, so pin point a culprit......I will change it back tonight.
Still odd though, how both of them turned themself back on?
Anyway, thanks everyone.
It's back, started last night, not full blown, but the on/off again freezing, slowness between the screens, sometime it will not move at all. Then all of a sudden its cool for 20 minutes or so, then again.

All three of my replacements have behaved in the same manner; therefore, I am sure now that these issues are software related. In my case, I've narrowed it down to Go Launcher, Smart Keyboard Pro, or Enhanced Email. Are you using any of those apps?

No, but I am using SBP 3D Shell?
I really liked SBP Shell too; however, it would often FC so I deleted it 2 replacements ago. Since I'm still having problems, I know SBP was not the source of all of them.
SPB shell is God awful and any issues your photon is having is directly related to spb shell 3D. Its too much of a resource hog and i still don't think its ready for prime time. Is rather use the stock launcher seriously. Go launcher is terrible as well. Try adwEX.
