I have a problem. Camera wont work. Most of the time its a black screen and other times it kinda works but i get the image below, and it takes pics like that but you cant view them. I removed apps that I have installed since I noticed this and nothing. Any ideas on this? I looked everywhere for about 2 weeks now. Not sure what to do....?
If a factory reset from the settings menu is recommended... what exactly happens to the custom ROM and kernel? Do they need to be reinstalled or...?
Running Shostock 2.5.6 And AJ 1.25s
And if this is not the place to post this... please tell me where? Thanks everyone!

Replacing the camera module doesnt work. Does the same thing. Any ideas? I doubt it since I have gotten ZERO replies. Was hoping at least ONE person on here has had this problem... guess not. Thanks anyway everyone!
I wonder if it's the kennel you're using. AJK 1.25s is pretty old, and while it is the Samsung version I can't remember if it's for the ICS version you're running; maybe AJ can pop in and reeducate me.
Anyway, a quick test would be to nandroid and flash the rom again without changing the kernel, then see if that solves your problem.
One other thing, don't factory reset from the settings menu, always do these things from the custom recovery.

I just flashed Shostock 3.0.2 the other day without flashing a kernel before I changed the camera module... same result. Thanks for the tip on factory reset.

Pretty much self explanatory
Camera was working yesterday
Today its not :'(
I had this a few days back - turns out i'd been using the phone in 'torch' mode, and it had turned itself off after a while, but obviously didn't release the led function back to the camera.
When I cycled the torch back on and off again it was fine. I imagine rebooting would do the same thing?
Hope that helps a little!
yes, just reboot the phone and it will work again, had the same thing
have tried multiple reboots and even taken the battery out! not too sure what im supposed to do....may just reflash the original rom again to see if it makes a difference

just a question, but had you changed the lcd density before the camera failed? if so, did you adjust it below 182?
nope, lowest i set it to was 210, but that screenshot was taken at the norm 240
ok its happened again!!! i flashed the latest update and rebooted and it was fine, camera app loaded up fine...once i installed a theme it was saying the same message!!!! is this a hardware fault? i can hear the camera clicking every time it switches on
Just flashed the original firmware back onto it, the o2 one and its saying the same thing.....is this a hardware fault?
***************EDIT******************************
So i did a factory reset and the camera really is working now
anybody have a clue why this is happening? its slightly annoying....going to debrand and root to see if i can locate the problem...
Hey peoples,
I have Serendipity 8.0 (same has happened on UnNamed.) Both roms use the same kernel (entropy) Let me begin by saying that the Entropy kernel is amazing. I have noticed a minor annoyance and that is the touchscreen driver I suppose has some sort of bug. I blame it on the kernel because I reflashed to full stock and problem is non existent. When you first flash the custom rom it seems to be working ok however on the next restart, it starts. The problem is the "swype line" is not rendered smoothly and feel the "android" keyboard is a tad off calibration. when I swype my finger the blue line starts to zig zag.. not consistetly the same pattern but its not straight like it should be. do you guys feel that it maybe because of undervoltage? It seems like a silly theory considering we have a dual core lol. I'm sorry if my terminology is off, just trying to get my point across.
yes, I wiped/factory before installing the rom.
Has anybody else experienced this? thanks for the posts guys.
Honestly, I have experienced this. I thought it was just me but maybe it is something else. It definitely starts to zig zag creating a lot of errors in my texts. haha
Just checked it on mine. And does not have it. I'm running stock rom with only thing I've done is install Entropy512's kernel.

well i did a fresh install of unNamed 1.0.4 with entropy and I dont seem to have it anymore. I would do nandroid backup and restores so maybe stuff would get fowled up. Will post again if it happens again. I would definetely do a fresh install.
wipe/factory reset
wipe cache parition
wipe dalvik cache.
install rom.
Does anyone get the issue of the cursor jumping to the left? Sometimes when I try to go to the end of my message the cursor moves on its own, often highlighting words along the way.
Your guys are awesome. I still can't get used to this. I had to uninstall this and use the regular samsung/android keyboard.

The owner told me it was one day old and like brand new in box. Did he try to install a custom rom. I cannot for the life of me get it out of the android recovery. Nothing happens if I select reboot. I have to take the battery out which results in the same

Have you tried da_g's recovery?

Did you factory reset it? Or it just booted like that. Looks like its in some sort of Clock Work Recovery or soft bricked which is not a big deal. Someone here will help you out soon as i am not a Pro on recovery. Same thing happened to me when i bought a Galaxy S2 a few months back. Just hang tight until some one gives you directions or search the forums.
Try and "Reboot" it while highlighted by hitting the power button. Thats at least how i reboot out of clock work mod for the Att version. Next step prob would be to highlight wipe data/factory reset. But again wait until someone confirms this for ya. Shouldn't be long
Just curious, what did you trade for
all good got it figured out. thanks

I'm running CM 10.1 nightlies
Anyone have any suggestions?
Edit, I've flashed back to a previous of CM that I wasn't having any issues with and its still happening.
Wipe and flash a stock rom to test, the status bar appears fine so probably not hardware.

It does happen on the status bar, just seen the problem happen a few minutes ago, it's quite erratic. I'll try flashing back to stock and update. can't take a photo of it at the moment as I don't have another camera I can use (used a friends this morning)

Go to Settings > Motion turn it on and tick Palm Swipe to capture then when you want to take a screen clip swipe the screen with the palm of your hand, then upload that image no need for a camera
Still doesn't look like a hardware issue.
sent from the state where marijuana is NOT illegal !
putting stock back on it seems to have fixed the issue.
Shame that I really don't like the stock s3 rom at all

No one said that you had to keep stock. Flashing stock is a simple Hardware v Software test.

I realised that after I said it
So its still happening on stock ( all be it after a few days ). Any suggestions of what I should try next?
Hi, we've got the old S2 out a drawer to lend to someone, it's not been used for 6+ months but worked fine then, the wifi no longer works, it thinks about turning on for about 10 seconds then switches back to off. I've tried a factory reset, I've tried CM12.1, tried going back to a different stock rom, still nothing at all, all does the same. Done lots of googling and people say to enter *#*#526#*#* to see what the wifi test says but that code doesn't work for me on 4.1.2, just get a sorry this number is not available.
Any ideas, be good to get it working.
Thanks.
Mine did this too, try taking the SIM card out. In the end I've completely wiped it and am now running CM12 nightly and it's being used by one of my lads as a gaming thing, and it works well for that (on WiFi) now I've sorted the partition sizes.
