Otterbox defender and camera - HTC EVO 3D

If this belongs in q and a, I'm sorry please move it.
Just got an Otterbox defender for my phone. I love the case so far until today. For some reason with the case off or the commuter on, the camera works fine. The camera stops working with the defender on though. I don't know if this is a known issue. Any insight is much appreciated.

I've got one, and my camera works fine..

I have a Defender on my 3D for 2 weeks now from Mon-Fri of each week. No difference in any of my pics whether the Defender is on or not.
Exactly what is the issue with the pics that you believe the case is causing?

Sorry I wasn't more specific. When I hit the camera button, camera application, or camcorder application the screen goes black. The capacitive buttons are lit bit I can't do anything except lock or hit home.

weird, I've had my Evo 3D in a defender case since the 1st of july and had no issues

Wow. After testing, the camera application does not work with or without the case. I guess it was just coincidence. Any options for fixing this...?

Same here. Only problem I have with defender is edge of screen letters are hard to press, and the camera lens holes collect a lot of dust and lint. They constantly need cleaning.

Maybe you're having this issue? Seems to be popping up and becoming more common...

This does seem to be the issue. I have the first ota because I wanted the movie. I'll stick to no upgrading until root is obtained. I'd dislike to lose chance of root if i update again

I have no idea if any of the updates are causing the issue.. but for the record to figure out what's up I am running with no updates and I got my 3D 3 days early through the Premiere program

I never got ota and was able to use movie. There was a way to quickly push menu before ota warning came up. But then they ripped the apk from the ota and you could update watch without ota.
Got my 3d day before launch.

New OTA soon

Within the next couple days we should get an update, primarily for the green tint a lot of us have ffrom the camera.
If you don't get it within a few days I'd check out the HTC site for it.

Lol dude I know. But it tweaks some other minor issued too. Idk what they include though.
But don't get me wrong, this phone is my favorite by far. And I've had the epic, OG EVO, and the shift. And this kills all those. Dead.

I know it might be too late for this OTA, but I wonder if it closes the exploit to obtain temp root.
Just wondering How and where did you happen to get this info from?
Yeah where's your source.
I still wont touch any updates, im not loosing any chances for full root and unlocked. Ill deal with it, im sure it'll be baked into a custom ROM when theyr'e available.

Touchscreen not responding.

So occasionally my capacitive buttons don't respond, along with my touchscreen. When I power down the screen and turn it on it works fine. Does anybody else have this problem? Also, I understand that the vast majority of rezounds don't do this so please don't simply post "never happened to me" or something. It's not helpful and makes me jealous of you lol.

I have this occasionally and experienced it on my TBolt as well. You are not alone. Figured it was more of an app error then a phone error.
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
It does it right on the Rosie screens/and the notification bar. I'll see if I can catch an app doing it though. I've had the phone for at least a few weeks before it started doing that

Cerberus Security App

I just wanted to let everyone know that this excellent security app is offering FREE life time memberships (licenses basically) until February 29th to mark having a hundred thousand users. To get it, just install the apk, create an account, than go here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFR4VHNka3czd2FJV2FIaXFYTHp0aGc6MQ
The best thing about Cerberus is it's root permissions to do things like force GPS on if it's off, take pictures if people try and access your phone and email the picture to you, and of course send it's location to you along with standard wipe my phone functionality. Definitely worth checking out. You can find it in ROM Manager or on the Market. If you get it from ROM Manager it will install the apk into your system apps so that it survives factory resets and will still provide all of it's functionality.
Oh and I'm sourcing the find to Android Police.

Is there some reason why you are resurrecting a nearly year old thread in the Evo 3D forums to ask a question about the Note 2?

GPS stopped working

About 2 weeks ago my GPS would connect really slow. Today when i tried to use it wouldn't even connect. I tried wiping the caches and the SD card. I use Waze for my GPS. Anyone else experience this?

there's a fix in the general section that addresses this issue. Apparently it's a hardware issue where the tabs in your phone don't seem to make the connection to the antenna. the fix points out which connectors to adjust but requires you opening your phone. I've been experiencing this issue as well. I find massaging the top back right (when looking at the phone) seems to help but it's only a temp fix. I'm debating if I want to send the phone in for an RMA for that and a weird sim issue I've been experiencing.

Opening it isn't that difficult. Just follow the instructions and be gentle on the prongs when you pull them up.

I bought a husky multi tip "jewlers" screwdriver from Home Depot, best $10 I spent. Got the philips/standard one and the torques one. I use those to tear everything down. I say invest a little and keep em for years. But that's just me, I tear lots of things apart. If you want I can get you the husky product numbers off them.

2 sec GPS lock and no more sim issues plus 3 month warranty extended onto my phone. I'm fairly content, couldn't get anyone to give me any sorts of discounts on a Note 2 but I still love this phone.
Had this same problem - flashed a GB radio - everything is now working perfectly.

Magnet activates drive mode

The past couple of weeks I noticed that every once in a while my phone would be in drive mode for no apparent reason. Well last night I realized it was the magnet in my nexus 7 case that was causing it. If you place the magnet on the back of the optimus g it activates driving mode. Don't know if there are any car accessories with magnets but was wondering if it could be programmed to open a different app. Don't know how useful it would be but just a thought.
