Vibrating when Camera or Torch opens - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, just like the title says, this is my problem.. when I open Camera app or turn on Torch, something near camera lens starts to vibrate and I have to bang it. I'm running CM 9.1 (aosp camera app) and Chameleon 1.3 (stock sammy app). At first I thougt it is caused by the CM, but why also on Chameleon ? Will this problen disappear if I flash original stock firmware ? I wasn't experiencing this before I started to play with flashing so I hope the phone is not damaged in any way..
thanks

My phone also does this sometimes. Have always noticed it. A lot more so with cm9 though.
Haven't found any answers. It also seems to get extremely hot.

Anyone? I really don't know what this is. It Does it with cm kernel and siyah.

Anyone? Is this harmful for my phone?
I have noticed.when.the.torch.is. on if i have the screen facing down it vibrates constantly almost every time.

The moving part is the focus module of the camera.
It, however, should only move for a short time.
It usually only clicks for me.

It vibrates until i bang the phone gently on my hand. When vibrating the camera gets extremely hot
I think this is a hardware fault as it has been like this since i got the phone in november 2011, i have tried pretty much every kernel/rom/modem out there. So i know it is not software related. Unless it is canera firmware? I have updated this too.
Edit:
Since i have had the phone it has never vibrated like this whilst using the camera for pictures.
Always when i use the torch. 90percent of the time when i face the screen down with the torch on, it has rarely done it with the torch facing down.

Bump

[Q] Random Screens Ons

For some reason my Atrix (running ICS CM7 PreFinal) has random screen on's.
For example, I can be using it, switch the screen off in the normal method, then as soon as I lay it horizontally on the desk it switches back on.
Anyone had this before? Or know how to fix it? I assume it is because of the proximity sensor getting confused?
Have you tried using a another ROM to make it isn't a hardware issue?

I am having the same issue on CM7 12112011 Nightly. I have random display wake ups and in addition I often have the screen turn immediately back on after turning it off.
I hate to say it but it sounds like a hardware issue. To double make sure it is, try a blur ROM. That's what the phone is used to running.

Maybe is some app that activate the screen when you change from vertical to horizontal check your configs and apps, also try another ROM without any app to see if it happens, i think another ROM may fix that.. idk, but i hope it helps ^^

Are you by any chance using Juice Defender?? I think that may be the cause of my issues (posted above). I have been using the same settings in Juice Defender with numerous ROMS, even previous CM7 nightly's and stable CM7 without encountering this before. I disabled the time out feature in Juice Defender and the problem seems to be fixed.

This is exactly the issue I have. I'm not convinced its hardware as the original blur rom didn't do this.

And to update, no I am not using Juice Defender. It is a defacto CM7 ICS build.

[Q] slow camera

Hi, I've been using a number of ics roms since it was released and am currently on wanam v 12. I was wondering if anyone else has had a very slow response from the stock camera since moving to ics, never had any problems with gingerbread. The camera takes a picture normally but takes several seconds to finally respond and able to take another picture. Any advice?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Probably not the advice you're looking for, but try miui rom, specifically cmiui. The camera is really nippy on that one.
It may be a CM9 camera apk that's installed in cmiui. You could see if you could track down the apk on its own if you don't want to flash another rom.
And I know what you mean, every ics rom has given me bad lag with taking pics.

The GS2 doesn't have zero-shutter lag, but I am not experiencing a few seconds worth of lag as you are.
Try clearing data in App Info, which will hopefully fix your issue.
Try alternative cameras on the Play Store, namely Camera ICS.
Report back and tell me if that fixes anything.
Hey thanks for the advice! I cleared data on the app and is way faster now.

Venom camera app..

I flashed a couple different versions of the high res camera app w/o trying the one that came with the latest venom Rom (no idea why, I just did). What version should I be using? Also, got a link to a dl? I've been searching in all areas of the Rezound forum here and I'm giving up, so I'm finally gonna just ask for some help. The camera app just force closes every time I open it. I've cleared the cache and davlik, fixed permissions, etc.. I've done everything I can think of or what others have suggested and still have no luck. Thanks in advance.

i noticed that the camera would force close on me as well on ViperRom... but only when i went to the app through the lockscreen. so I'd recommend not accessing thee app through the lockscreen.
You just turn off face recognition. Worked for me

I can't get intothe camera from anywhere. It force closes immediatly so I can't turn off face recognition.

I had the same issue but it didn't last long, soon after I got a system update notification so I updated and tested the camera right after and until today it still works like a charm.
PS: If you want to try to turn off face recognition like others say, switch to the front camera right away and it won't close on you

I'll keep an eye out for an update. I wish I could try to press anything to try to get it working, but it force closes immediatly as its starts. It shows the camera and everything, but the picture is squished. I've tried to press all the buttons as the camera opens and I'm still not having any luck. Thankfully I have Vignette.

So I got it working. I just reflashed the rom. Can any of you tell me if this roms camera is as good as the hd camera? I can't really compare cause I haven't been able to use it.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
I don't know about the camera mod you mentioned, but I do know that the picture quality I was seeing on ViperRez was poor compared to what I see on NeoMax. I'm guessing its because ViperRez is a port from another phone and neomax is based on rezound software, kernel, etc.

I think that Joe Brady's camera app is better than the one included , unfortunately I can't get it to work on this rom
So really no working hd camera zip for us on Venom to flash currently?
I like the Venom camera, I think it's the one from the Htc One. I like the camera speed over the HD camera. Seems like most of my pics have to be taken fast and this camera will click off photos as fast as you push the button.
rezound camera
Venom is so far one of the best ROMs out there for ICS for the rezound in my opinion.
I noticed the camera is not 100% stable in my case. What I mean by that is that I can take pictures but after 2 or 3 consecutive pictures the screen freezes for about 5 seconds and then it closes the camera app again. It won't give me the force close error, it will just take me back to the main home screen.
You can open it again and it will work temporary just fine for few pictures and it will happen again.
The ROM was installed several times still the same problem. Everything else works fine.

Problem with hard key's.....

my hard key lights are not working in th3bill's cm10 4.1.2...somebody Pls help me
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Have you tried flashing the ROM a second time, after a full wipe (if possible)? Sometimes these things just have the tiniest little glitches and nobody can figure out why they happen, yet a second flash miraculously fixes/solves whatever happened the first time out.
I've yet to see anyone mention any issues with the buttons - they're still considering "soft" buttons, however. As soon as I saw "hard keys" my thought was problems with the power/sleep, volume, or the camera button and not the capacitive touch ones under the display.
Just so you know...
Also, I note you say they're not lighting up - the real question then becomes are they still functional even though they're not lighting up?
Yes the soft buttons are functioning...but not lighting up....but few hours ago it was fine....but now it's not lighting up....maybe some setting issue....anybody know how to solve this in setting's mode?

S3 Touch Screen Problems

Hi, I have just purchased my new s3 2 days ago and I'm loving it.. Until now. It is a rooted s3 32gb running cm 10.1.3 stable.
Here's the problem, out of nowhere my s3 touch screen started playing up. The input lag is far greater than it was before and my keyboard has become really sluggish and slow. Also, the touchscreen will also do weird things like if I try and click on an app it flips to the next app page instead. I've tried different kernels, killed apps and fully optimised my device to 100% yet it's still the same. I even reflashed my room but still no change.
The strange thing is that the device still performs tasks flawlessly with no problems, it's just the touchscreen input that isn't doing what it should.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

Just fixed the issue after 5h of trial and error, it was caused by having magnification gestures on in the settings menu lol :/
