so i built a rom, everythings settled, i set a few icons on adw, set my background, and then i after i went into extended controls, i noticed my gallery has turned all black and white, and the pictures are slanted. but then when i click on an individual pic, it appears normal again.
not after a reboot or anything, basically out of nowhere. tried rebooting, and its still messed up. cleared data, still messed up. downloaded 3Dgallery, and no problems. anyone have any idea what might be causing the 'previews' to be messed up?
And after a few minutes my music player stops working n force closing. So I reinstalled the ROM n I get a sorry media has fc. Back to the drawing board

Did you use the Chainfire 3D drivers or some other similar OpenGL drivers? That most likely the cause if you did.

Hi guys I'm on bionix 3 with JACs OC kernel with the latest voodoo and color fix installed. Since I installed the newest kernel my rotation has stopped working in all my apps. I downloaded an app to test my orientation sensor, everything is set to 0. I also dropped my phone after I installed the kernel so maybe that could be the reason...any ideas? Is there a way to test if items software or hardware related? If it is damaged hardware, should I unhappy and go to t mobile? any advice is greatly appreciated thanks!
Revert your phone to complete stock and see if it begins to work again. If it doesn't, then your best bet is to bring it back to Tmo.

thanks ill try to remove the lagfix and ODIN back to stock.
if i were to take it to Tmo and the stock rom didnt fix it, would they replace it under warranty, you think?
I'm almost positive they will replace it. Just don't tell them you dropped it!

Happened to me, requested a new phone because it would not orient even after wiping.
So I get the new vibrant and go to town and wipe again, removing superuser su busybox, when in one app I realize it orients....
It had been on lagfix and orientation worked. I moved it to ext2 on sdcard, orientation worked.
So I blame an app or something else I have not redone on this replacement.
Btw check your compass, stuck at north too isn't it?
Edit: Wasn't me knocking it off the couch if a wipe fixes it.....

some apps automatically put the phone in landscape, like the youtube app once you watch a video, but if you press back and get to the main youtube app page it will stay in landscape but it wont rotate to portrait at all until you get to the home screen which i have locked onto portrait....ill wipe and odin to stock and see what happens, but what did you t-mobile when you gave it to them? and how do exchanges work exactly? ive never done one before with a phone, do they switch you out right then and there or do they mail you a replacement?
Thanks guys for your suggestions =]

If you turn off auto orientation and exit your media apps, phone is in portrait, makes it more usable until you wipe phone.
I am not sure the stores do it past the 2 weeks, you call tmo and they might ask you to try things until they send you a new phone via ups, you put old one in a box and put the return label on and drop it off at a ups store to send it back, if you take more than 7 days, you get to pay for the replacement
pretty painless process unless you are impatient and say sure, charge me $21 for express shipping.

Hmm that is strange, but there were a lot of weird things happening when I had the rom and kernel combo I had before. I had long wake up lag, intense battery drain, and no rotation, but I odin'd, rooted, flashed the same things again and everything works fine now, I even titanium restored some apps and settings ran fix permissions and nothing weird happening yet. Idk what could have caused it before...
My accelerometers are very flaky -- I have been assuming it's related to my nearly-useless compass and my completely non-functional GPS. I use "Digital Speed" whenever I drive my '55 (which has a broken speedo cable at the moment) and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Completely random, even after a fresh reboot.
Same problem here. Running Bionix 1.4. First noticed a problem when I installed a game that needed tilt to operate, it wouldn't work. Then I checked and the homescreen won't flip. Test apps show "no data" or "INIT" and no actual values for the sensors. I'm using the OC Voodoo version, is this a common thread with the problem?
Don't restore system setting from backup. It can kill the orientation. This is my experience.

Didn't.
I upgraded to Bionix 1.5 without Voodoo and the problem is gone. I thought maybe the 1.5 update fixed it, but another user is reporting the problem while on 1.5. I believe the Voodoo kernel is to blame at this point.

A full wipe worked for me, then again i never used anything too crazy. His experience suggests you should try it, oddly enough for me running the calibration tool, the error message talked about a stale nfs file
Reminds me of deleting battery statistics to reset the battery meter on other phones......and the full wiping/odin flashing nukes it.
Everything works fine on the replacement too with the same apps and fixes (minus lag fix) as before (orientation working wasn't found to be working before i already got a replacement on order :/ ), only thing i hate is gmaps 4.5.1 causing a load of 8.x+, enough to once get everything killed (uptime did not change although everything was reloaded, media was scanned as if it had rebooted) and a shut down the other time.
Oh my goodness, a new thread, I hate doing this but I haven't had any luck...
So here's the deal, my Streak's camera only shows greyscale on the screen while I am taking pictures or shooting video....
Once taken, the color is there in the photo or pic in the gallery or whatever app I open to view the photo or watch the video.
Honestly I have no idea when this could've started because since the Streak's camera is not the best in the world, I don't use it much, but I do occasionally use it to recognize a business or scan a document to send it to someone or something else to that effect.
What I have done lately to the phone is flashed the 354 baseband and dsp1 files to the phone. So logically I tried to flash to where I was before that, the 351 files, and had no luck with that, so I went back to the 354 files.
I have tried to look for some setting that I may have left in black and white or greyscale but haven't found anything that I may have done to cause this, doesn't mean it's not my fault, but I could definitely do with some ideas.
Thanks guys for any suggestions.
Worst case scenario I'd do a fresh flash of StreakDroid....oops, forgot to mention I was running StreakDroid 1.9
I would try to get the camera.apk file from 1.9.0 (unzip the zip, then system, then app, then camera.apk (I think)) and try installing that after uninstalling your camera app. If that doesn't work then it's a little far out to fix. You can always try a factory reset and reflash if that doesn't work.

Well I tried got rid of the camera apk with Root Explorer but then it wouldn't let me reinstall it.
Well then I try to adb push the app but then got uid errors so I said the heck with it and did a fresh flash of StreakDroid

Yeah, I dunno what I may have done to prompt the behavior, I'm sure I made some adjustment or installed something that affected it.
So I just started from scratch and flashed StreakDroid anew....
Each time I flash I do somethin in the order of things different and each time it gets smoother and smoother

Not sure what it stands for but its an app I found on xda and does permissions based blocking of apps. Kind of like iptables
Some people were having the same issue at streak.modaco.com and some found LBE Privacy Guard to be the issue and one person said Chainfire3D may be an issue.
In the SimpleStreak rom thread some users were attributing this to having stagefright installed. I do not use stagefright and have no idea what it is, just passing on the observation.

vThanks
Thankyou,
I found that a reboot fixed the problem but i also have chainfire 3D installed so I was wondering if that caused the problem as I dont use the camera very often
Hey, i have a similar issue and dont have either of those apps installed. I can across the thread below first and posted my question here:
[Q] camera and video playback in black and white.
I am a noob. Both threads appear to discuss the same issue. Should i post to this thread?
I have been trying numerous IM apps and have gotten to like using IMO Instant Messanger to chat on my Yahoo account. However, just recently I ran into a problem. Suddenly out of nowhere IMO started Force Closing. A window would pop up displaying 2 of my apps then suddenly it would FC. I click the FC button, then a few seconds later the same thing repeated itself. I had to go into Manage Applications and Force Stop IMO. Rebooted phone, and tjay little IMO exclamation point at the top was there. I click to go to it and it goes right back to Force Closing again.Later, I uninstalled IMO and rebooted phone. A couple days after that I reinstalled IMO and it was working fine for a day. Then... Suddenly it's right back to FC again. I don't have a clue what's up with it. I have looked at and tried a few other IM apps. Not liking the reviews on some of those. Tried Palringo, its ok but it has big ads that pop up in middle of chat lines and slows down the app.
Anyone else used IMO on their Rezound or had this weird FC loop? Anyone recommend anything better (free).? Attached is a screen shot of that window that pops up just before IMO FC.
.
I have no issues using it. Try removing the app, then reinstall.

I had no issues with it either, for 2 weeks it was fine. And as I stated above earlier, I had uninstalled.. Then 2 days later I reinstalled and IMO worked fine for a day... then started FC again. I uninstalled that time. Reinstalled again and it starts Force Closing as soon as I open it. I went through all the running services and processes using System Panel. Killed off a few services and processes I thought might be conflicting, but still no difference. I have NO idea whats up with that thing.
I'm using GO Chat for Yahoo now. Just thought maybe someone might know something about this. Thanks
try to remove the app then delete .secure_android file on your sd card, then reboot and reinstall. just sounds like something is is corrupt.
You may also want to go into recovery and wore you cache and davlik cache just to be safe.
Then install again.

Just curious how many people are having issues with stock Google apps and the stock browser after the ota update. The Gmail and maps will get stuck on a white screen as does the stock browser and the play store will just lock up on whatever screen it was currently on. Google wallet will freeze during the unlocking your device notice. These are the only ones I have found so far but I had none of these issues before the ota update. A phone restart will fix it for a period of time but I'm currently having to restart my phone 2 times a day to get the apps to work properly again.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
I also forgot to add that during the restart after the screen turns off you can will change the ring volume up and down and hear it change for 2-3 seconds before the phone actually does restart. I noticed this when I had my Bluetooth headset still connected and it was not telling me it was disconnected for at least 4-5 seconds after the screen turned off unlike before the update when it was no more than a second.

Mine does this as well, the only "fix" I have found for it is rebooting the phone. Then it works for a few days until it randomly decides to freeze again.

Also been having the same problem since updating, most noticable with the browser just being a white screen. Tried wiping cache & dalvik cache again, doesn't seem to help. Stock ROM with S-OFF. Surprised I haven't seen more mentions of this problem, but perhaps it's not widespread?
Well as I've learned over my time at xda updates are always catch 22's. That's why I choose to wait and read users feedback on how the latest ota is functioning. However none if this is revelant to your issues just figured I'd post it for future reference. Also have you guys tried a full wipe of your current rom? After you make a backup of your data of course to see if that will help ??

Yeah...I was having the same problem after the ota, but after a couple of reboots things started to work right.

I wound up here after searching for this error, which just started with me yesterday with the browser (stock). It just displays a white screen when I try to use it.
I've had the latest update (flashed with 1.22.651.3 odexed ROM from xHausx and firmware from Captain Throwback) about a week now and this just started happening yesterday.
Yesterday I somehow got it to work again by clearing the Internet cache and then I performed a search from the Google search bar and all was well. I was thinking at the time that it was stuck on a particular page and that this got around it. But that fix isn't working for me today, so I'm going to try to clear dalvik/cache from twrp as recommended here and see where that gets me.
It's good to know I'm not the only one though... I wonder if there's anything else more specific we all have in common since we seem to be a fairly small subset. Maybe we all flashed the Odexed update for example?
EDITED TO ADD: Appears to affect Gmail too. And possibly several other Google apps as mentioned here and in other threads. Since there was a Gmail update I did yesterday, I'm going to try to uninstall that as mentioned in this other thread I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810829

NOT helpful at all since it affects not only the stock browser but other Google apps as well.
Refer back to my original post which I updated with additional information.
I've found if I reboot and never use the stock browser I don't have the white screen problem. I set maxthon as the default and act like the stock browser doesn't exist.

I reverted back to the previous version of Gmail yesterday hoping that would fix the problem but it still happened. This morning when I clicked an email notification from my status bar, Gmail did the white screen thing and needed to be shut down manually. Just to verify that this and the browser incident were related, I tried to launch the stock browser and it too was white screen.
So those of you suggesting to install an alternate browser to get around this issue need to understand that this is a lot more widespread than the browser alone. For me, both my Gmail and Google Offers were white screens this morning upon trying to launch them so it definitely appears to affect all Google apps.
Yeah this happens to me as well. Its really bad now. Nothing fixes. It does it on all the roms with newer OTA for me. Only two roms will work for me without this problem. I have tried everything. Wiped everything, Reflashed, Checked my sd card, factory reset, you name it. It even does it on restored roms that didn't have the problem before. I don't know what to do....
A developer told me to try and manual flash boot.img through fastboot but I'm not even sure how to do that. Need to read up on it.
I have had the issue to wear when I am trying to open the browser app, it will actually freeze the entire phone until I hit the home button repeatedly in play store will not load anything until I fully restart the phone I've tried fixing for missions do a nandroid restore nothing seems to work

First of all, I really like this phone, but this is driving me nuts.
This has happened to me twice. The first time was when I was setting the phone up, so there was not data or apps on it. The phone just kind of freezes, like something is spiking the CPU. Keyboard input stops. The keys make noise like they're being tapped, but nothing shows up on the screen. When it gets like this, I can't even call up the multitasking menu sometimes. When I do and call up task manager, nothing is really hitting the CPU hard enough to cause it.
Restarting the phone obviously fixes it, but that's not going to happen. If this is going to be a regular thing, the phone is going back. I can live with the 30 second notification light thing, but this is something else entirely.
I tried switching keyboards, closing all apps, etc. Nothing works. It's like there's a huge memory leak or some process runs out of control.
Anyone else seen this issue or know what causes it? I searched here and on Google and I don't see anyone else talking about it.
