Alright, so first off I've had a few phones which I have rooted and modded to the extreme. Got a great deal on a e3d and came over.
Saw that i had hboot 1.50 and *tear*, however I followed the directions to a T and unlocked the phone, installed recovery, and threw on some well known mods.
MeanROM
CleanROM
Virus ROM
etc etc
Anyway, in all of the ROMs the camera is distorted, and when you try to use 3d it comes out greenish pixelated and crashes. When you take a 2d picture you can't see what you're pointing at, but when you click it takes a picture but well...see attachment.
Now here's what i have tried:
Re-wiped ROMs several times.
Installed Stock Kernals, and every kernel I could find.
Used the Flash app, used adb reboot-bootloader and then booted into recovery to flash roms, and most recently I re-locked the phone and used the RUU updater and Unrooted and installed stock back on phone.
STILL having same problem with camera.
So I'm asking anyone who'd like to help please, because if I can't get it working I'm taking it to sprint hopefully they'll replace it.
I would try running the RUU and see if that will get the camera going.
If it runs on stock then maybe your downloads got goofed up or somethin?
Also I think MeanROM is 2.17 base? (correct me if I'm wrong) but I think you need to update firmware on the phone for stability. The camera could be related. However I also think Virus' ROMs are 2.08, so that almost makes me think that this paragraph could be wrong.

Already tried unrooting and flashing RUU. Still nothing....
Edit: I tried a factory recovery and no dice.
I'm going to try re-rooting and sending the camera file to the phone. Maybe it got corrupted?
Still open to suggestions.
Nope....

Ok so camera is clearly hardware issue. I relocked and factory reset. Camera still didn't work, today I clicked camera to show a friend. I had a twenty and accidently rubbed it on the screen and magically a picture appeared but it was split. I took a picture and boom it works. I'm going to mod it again when I get home, and I'll document the results, need to find out what happened.

It's a software issue. I am going to attempt to flash the kernel again and see if I can get it to work, anyone want to give me some tips?
It looks like I am having precisely the same issue. My camera worked fine until today. I restored a Nand backup of my original stock yesterday, but the camera was working fine after that. It started acting up when my wife called me on Qik Video. Tried restarting the phone numerous times, no dice. Came on XDA to hunt for stock kernels, thinking maybe my kernel got borked in the restore process? I'm truly shocked at just how huge a pain in the rear this phone is in terms of modding. Seems I am constantly having problems with it.

Mine was actually a hardware issue, it was coincidental that the camera stopped working when I changed roms. Anyway, I have a refurbished phone on its way and hoping for hboot 1.4 I doubt it though.....
Hi everyone, I've been having serious problems and if anyone can help me I'd love you forever. I got a rezound a week ago and loved it. I decided to root and rom it and afterwards my screenwould randomly freeze. I tried every GB rom and no matter which rom I was on it would freeze
I thought maybe my phone was defective so I returned my phone and got a brand.new.resound. once I installed.inef on my new phone it started freezing again. No apps loaded just stock inef. Could it be my sim card? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it an actual freeze or is Sense crashing? I saw that a lot when I still had a ROM with Sense. If you're hitting home but not going anywhere then that's probably the case. No real cure for it other than to try unlocking and tossing another ROM on. You could also have something wrong with your SD. Pull that out for a while and see if the freezing/crashing still occurs.
You said no apps loaded so I assume you didn't restore any data from another phone either?
I've been running Ineffabilis for a month now without that issue so it shouldn't be the ROM. What happens after the freeze? Do you have to reboot or does it go away? (I don't know why I'm asking that cuz I don't know how to fix it no matter what your answer! But I like pondering and the more info the better for when someone more knowledgeable comes by.)
You could also try flashing a different kernel and see if that helps. I just put on AnthraX and it's running nice and smooth.
MrSmith (that feels so formal after all these months, I might have to call you Smitty now ), or anyone else... would there be an error log generated somewhere that could be looked at?

I think the problem is in the kernel and not the rom. I had issues with gingerbread rom/kernel combinations. What are you using to control your CPU? Just making sure you aren't using more than one app, but since you didn't mention that you may not be adjusting clock speed at all.
I would recommend flashing an ICS leak and Sebastians modified kernel and seeing how that does. It's not as stable as an OTA but I don't see problems with random reboots and freezes on ICS even when overclocked to 1.7.
Hi guys thanks for the replys. Its not the kernel or rom because I've tried every gb kernel and every gb rom and my problem still persists. And I've swapped out dif SD.cards as well so I'm really scratching my head lol. Could it be the sim card? I think it needs to be hardware related but my last resound had the same issue but the sim is the same. And when it freezes I mean the screen just stops updating. You can press the buttons but the screen will stay frozen until a battery pull. Thanks!
maybe go get a new phone if u say u have tried all those things?

Yeah, see about getting a new SIM from Verizon then and see if that works since that's the only constant.
Just got a brand new rezound yesterday.. returned my last rezound for the same issue but they used my old sim. Idk what could be causing it
Make them give you a new SIM.

Yea Ill pick one up tonight and update the thread. Hopefully that's the problem. Thanks for the suggestions fera
Didn't solve my problem.. I'm really out of ideas at this point and its so frustrating BC the phone is sick
I would try running the RUU and bring it back to stock and see what happens.
Yes I would also recommend relocking and installing the latest RUU and see what it does. If it persists you will be stock unrooted and should be able to have them replace it under warranty.

I actually think the cause of my lockups were due to some buil.prop edits. Does anyone have the debug.sf.hw=1 gpu tweak in their rom? And if so are you experiencing any lockups? I ahve used the RUU and everything was fine but all these roms look to yummy to stay away from lol
Ive used CWM to install different roms over a couple months since I have gotten my GS2. Ive never had a problem with Bluetooth connecting and playing music at all. But I find that since I started running the latest ICS XXLPH roms its been an issue.
Or can switching many roms over a course of time damage the antenna? or hardware? Any suggestions?
I am going to revert back to my stock roms after I send this message. The only reason I am sending this before I try it is because nobody else really seems to be running in to this problem after searching the GS2 thread.
Ive tried a couple ICS roms and all cause my phone to randomly reboot when using BT paired with my stereo either on a call or streaming music.
When it reboots enough times it starts to corrupt the ROM/install. Because after a while it will start to just randomly freeze on its own forcing me to reset the phone.
Ive searched all over I havent pin pointed anyone having the exact problem as me so that is why I wonder if its possible to damage the BT device after multiple custom rom installs.
Thanks in advance.

You are using a leak or *beta* rom which is far from stable
And no installing many roms can not damage any hardware

Thanks for your response.
I am just concerned because like I said, from what I can tell, nobody else is running in to this problem.
Ive tried /format system along with full data/cache wipes. I wiped dalvik cache.
Im waiting for my phone to fully charge to put stock rom back on so I can test this completely.
But a bit nervous, because I need my phones BT as I am on the road often.

Having a similar, if not identical issue on latest Westcrip ROM. Near as I can tell, seems to be related to memory management: while on BT, RAM space drops almost 200Mb. While changing songs, or surfing the tracklist/phonebook, it can cause the RAM to reach a critical level. This causes the OS to crash and the phone to reboot (my case a soft reboot from the animation only) in order to create space. I would chalk this up to inefficient memory management by a beta ICS rom. Look for this to be sorted out in the future with official releases and custom kernels/roms.
Thanks for your response.
Yeah when I installed resurrection, I also ran in to that problem. I had no idea how to diagnose it. But it makes sense, bottling up the ram to the brink of reboot.
Thats what initially was happening to me, soft boot, took a few seconds and was back in. But extended crashes seemed to cause corruption.
Yeah so the XXLPH seems to have an issue. Because I also tried foxhound and got the same result.
I just got back in from testing my BT on my car stereo using my stock rom of KG2 and it played for 20 minutes and i chatted for 19 without any problems.
So I am glad it wasnt anything seriosu. But only reason I was concerned is I found nobody else to have the problem and I felt a bit isolated
But im reading the official ICS rom is out in Europe so im sure we will see some new roms out in the next little while.
I posted a thread yesterday about how when i made a call the person on the other line couldn't hear me but i could hear them, when someone called me i could hear them but they couldn't hear me, i resigned myself to the fact that i would have to bring it in for repair as it was a hardware issue, flashed the 3 Ireland stock ROM, decided to try once more, made a test call and the person could hear me, got them to call me and i could hear them and vice versa so i put it down so maybe corruption in internal SD card or something.
I rooted again, flashed CheckRom and Franco kernel and set the phone up again as it was, called a friend earlier and he couldn't hear me, got him to call me and i could hear him but he couldn't hear me so im dumbstruck as to what the problem is here, i initially thought it was the microphone which was the problem but then after flashing the 3 Ireland stock ROM no problem, it was only after flashing CheckRom and Franco kernel (which i always use) the problem reappeared, so has anyone any ideas as to what might be causing this, everything else works as normal, texts, Internet,etc it's just calling someone they cant hear me and that's probably the most important thing about having a phone.
Id sooner not bring it into Fonemenders as ive heard some bad reports about this company, it's still under warranty with 3 Ireland and this is the company they use for repairs.
Phone has been fine up to this and i haven't dropped it or anything.
Cheers
84 views - no one got any ideas?
It will be a wrench if i have to stay on the stock ROM for the sound in my calls to work but i am dumbstruck as to how this has happened as it never did previously, is it remotely possible that 3 Ireland may have changed some settings whereas the sound in calls only work with their stock ROM, unlikely i know but im looking to explore all avenues before i bring this in for repairs.
Well posted problem all over the board in custom roms etc for starters .LFB Modem or something like it .

i haven't seen anyone post an issue like this on here yet (unless i missed something)
i am gonna revert back to Stock ROM and test it again, then ill root and flash a kernel and see what happens.
Truly bizzare this is
WORKING AGAIN
Flashed Android Revolution out of curiosity to see what happens, made a call to a friend and he could hear me fine, got him to call me and likewise so im now sure it isn't actually the mic which is faulty it must have something to do with ROM and / or Kernel but im fu*ked if i know what it is as ive been using CheckRom and Franco kernel for a good while now without any issues, isn't there anyone else on here who has had similar issues like this?
I'm just setting up my phone again, i hope this problem doesn't come back.
I have the same problem, only that not only on checkrom... I have tried several other roms and I have the same problem, with an exception... i always hear them and they can't hear me but is not continously... 15-20 seconds is ok then 10-15 they can no longer hear me... this is on checrom v3 with lbf modem... ANY OTHER ROM, kernel or modem no sound what so ever. It seems there are too few of us in order for devs to look into it... unfortunately

FINALLY someone else with the same issue, basically when i call someone i could hear them but they couldnt hear me,when they called i could hear them but they couldn't hear me, the problem appears to have been (hopedully) resolved now ive flashed Android Revolution, ill have to avoid CheckRom which is unfortunate as it's always been my fav ROM but the problem appeared to come back after i flashed back to stock ROM then back to CheckRom,
Hi I have the no sound in call when I remove system apps or freeze apps I was use the unofficial aopk ROM I'm now using the cm10 preview and still have the same problem I've tried loads of different modems with no luck it

There are a lot of reports with different roms of the same thing and so far all I've seen have been modem issues. I saw some people said they've tried different ones which seems weird, I'm running Checkrom 3.5 and Siyah kernel 1.4 with the new XXLG8 modem and have no problems. I was using LFB and had issues and LF3 worked as well.
It's definitely not a mic problem is using stock fixes it so don't send it in for repairs, just try some of the newest modems. I hope that helps.

I never previously had a problem running check rom and franco kernel but ive no idea what happened , i do freeze stuff in Titanium Backup but only stuff wgich people have already tested and it's safe to freeze so it's quite baffling what caused this problem but since flashing Android Revolution everything is fine it's a superb ROM too close to stock which is what i want and everything works 100%, ive no real interest in CM10 too many bugs for my liking ill just wait until the official Jelly Bean code is released for the Galaxy S3.

Yeah i agree mate it's definitely not a mic problem im not 100% what caused it but i do believe it might be LFB modem or something related to this.
Hate to make my first post an issue post, but I have searched all over XDA for the answer and couldnt find anything particular to my issue. I flashed CM10 to my phone and noticed my Bluetooth would turn on but would not pick up any devices in device search. I tried multiple speakers and headsets and nothing would work. I did a hard wipe and installed MeanBean thinking that it was a ROM related issue. Tried it again on MeanBean and same issue. I tried fixing permissions and Bluetooth Fix app and still nothing. Can anyone help?
(I am on the latest radio/firmware and v.06 MeanBean)
Same exact issue !

My evo lte has been doing this for as long as i can remember also. I've been through dozens of roms and full wipes and still no bluetooth at all, not even recognizable.
Try deleting everything that is paired or was paired and then reboot. You may have Bluetooth defects if that still doesnt work. I have used on many sense roms, cm10, 10.1 varients with no problems. Hope that helps.

Im having the same issue
I have updated my radios and noticed that i lost my Bluetooth connectivity. I was originally running meanrom ics until JB came around. Then updated my radios and moved to JB MeanBean. I did an Ruu and got it back to stock. No dice, stock rom Bluetooth still cannot find or be found. I tried my laptop ipad macbook car audio everything and nothing works. I ve never had any issues with my phone and it seems after Jelly Bean Bluetooth is non existent.
Currently I am running
Twrp 2.3.1
Arc Reactor Kernel
MeanBean3.09
Is there a way to see if the actual Bluetooth is borked or if its working properly, "if its sending a signal"?
Is it possible that something happened when upgrading that the BlueTooth became corrupted? or can it just plain old stop working, died?
At that point if it's Borked on several roms
Then it's time to take it into sprint. That's a manufacturer defect / issue and they should swap it out. Assuming you bought legit from them

Yes I bought it legit when it came out. I also have the insurance plan with Sprint. The only thing I'm worried about is the new hboot and unlocking/rooting the new phone .
But I guess if it means a new phone then I guess its best... To get a fresh new evo
