I am having issues when I try to text message. Sometimes when I start typing it doesn't input anything into the text box. The keyboard shows that the keys are being pressed but nothing happens. This happens a lot but its nothing that I can reproduce exactly each time. It seems random! I would say it happens about 30%-40% of the time. To fix it I have to reboot or close the messaging program and reopen it several times. Sometimes its fixed the first time and sometimes it takes 5+ times.
I am currently using the stock ROM posted by jcase along with the original kernel. However, this has happened on ALL 3 other ROMs that I have tried as well as 2 other kernels.
Any help would be appreciated!
In case your wondering! Yes, I have always done a FULL wipe when installed my ROMS!
I reverted to stock and am unrooted using the jcase guide. The texting problem is still there! Anyone else having problems?
I'm not sure why but my notification sounds will stop working at a random times. I have to restart my phone to get them working again. I'll have text messages and email without a peep from my phone. Notification volume is at Max and will even play the default tone when adjusted but will not play a notification sound or vibrate for any event until I restart.
I can also now confirm that both my at&t GSIIs with ICS do this but mine seems to be more frequent.
Anyone having this issue?

have ya done a factory reset? Pulled battery for a few? checked the water things inside the phone?
all **** at&t will ask you to do.
Factory reset will most likely fix, or its just the fact that your running a stock at&t build.
I've done all of the above and no a factory reset didn't fix it.
Also my phone is not the only phone this issue is affecting. Both of my GSIIs are doing it plus the other folks if you look at the other forum posts.

I wonder the same thing. Why do people think this place is the help desk? Especially for phones running stock. Boggles the mind it does.

Im on stock Droid DNA ROM. Have the latest update. Every time I try to open the camera it says "Unable to start the camera." I have already hard reset the phone 2 times and restarted. I also cleared the camera data and cache. I don't know what to do now..
Try downloading a camera app from the market and see how it works. If that app also can't get it to start then it may be a hardware issue. If it can then you know there is something wrong with the stock camera app.

Sounds like a hardware issue then.

This is the same error I get on the CM10.1 ROM since the camera isn't working yet... as everyone else has mentioned it's most likely a hardware issue especially if you've tried wiping the entire phone and still have the problem.
Had this happen today. Did you ever get it straightened out?
If I try a photo the flash comes on and will not go off unless I reboot. If I try a video the screen goes black and freezes. I've rebooted, "hard" rebooted by holding power button down, turned off fastboot, cleared data and cache.
I tried CameraMX from the market and it doesn't work.
I did not buy my phone from Verizon. What are my options?
It doesn't matter where you bought it, HTC will warranty it as long as you talk to them like a human and explain the situation while being respectful.

Thanks bud. I'll give it a shot. I really like HTC phones I hope this (along with whatever may happen with the warranty) doesn't leave a bad taste in my mouth.
So, I've been resetting, force closing and clearing data the past 2 days throughout the day for the camera. Usually, after I've did a reset the camera will open, but when I try to take a picture the flash comes on and stays on the the app freezes. The led flash will not go off until I do a reset. A force close won't even shut it off.
Today after a reset, I opened the camera and instead of trying to take a pic I cycled through the flash settings. As soon as I did the interface switched to portrait, (like the phone was held) and it took pics and video like normal!!!!!!!!
It works now. What a crazy problem.
Completely stock DNA with latest ota update. Phone has not been dropped or anything.
Wow, that doesn't make any logical sense. How strange... Glad you got it fixed though!

I see similar camera weirdness a lot when I'm at Best Buy in the best buy mobile section and I've intervened on 10 or 15 exchanges by tinkering with camera and gallery like clearing app data.
You've taught me a new trick in case I ever get to show off for the hot best buy mobile girls.

If you have a flash light app and do not turn the flash off this will cause the camer to not start
Recently had the problem (camera won't start, or can't connect to camera). Got the solution here:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-droid-dna/244680-camera-unable-start.html
Just hold the power button for ~20 seconds til it reboots, and camera works just fine. No loss of data or anything. It's supposed to be the equivalent of battery pull.
Mine too!

Read the thread please. The answer is in it.
Sorry for the necromancy, I'm having the same issue, and no amount of resets, soft or hard, has resolved anything.
I received this phone about a month ago as a total care replacement for a very sad old Droid X that was needing to be put out to pasture. When I first got it, everything worked fine. The camera worked a couple weeks ago, even, but I went to use it today, tapped the camera icon, it briefly opened then instantly closed with a message "Unable to start the camera".
I tried a few more times, force quit, cleared cache, tried again, still nothing. Force quit, cleared data, tried again. Soft reset, tried again, nothing. Held power button for a reset, still nothing. Powered off and back on again, still nothing. Another soft reset, still nothing. Tried 3 other camera apps, Google Camera closed immediately with a similar error message, Vignette just sat there at Initializing Camera forever, and some garbage front camera only selfie app opened but only showed a black screen for the viewfinder.
I did another soft reset, still nothing.
I did a factory reset, and tried again without downloading any of the apps previously installed. Still nothing.
I've tried several more soft resets and cache clears since then.
It's looking more and more like a hardware problem but previous posters in this thread reported fixing similar issues without doing anything to the hardware. It has never been dropped, it has never been wet. It hasn't even been outside in a light drizzle. It's never been sat on, it's never gotten warmer than 109 reported internal temp.
Other than take it to Verizon and whine at them about how the free phone I just got a month ago is a broken piece of crud for no apparent reason or malfeasance on my part (which is probably why they had it on hand to give away, reconditioned my big toe), is there any potential resolution I'm missing that doesn't involve warranty-voiding stuff.
THIS IS PROBABLY THE ANSWER YOU ARE LOOKING FOR!
"Today after a reset, I opened the camera and instead of trying to take a pic I cycled through the flash settings. As soon as I did the interface switched to portrait, (like the phone was held) and it took pics and video like normal!!!!!!!!"
I didn't see you mention that you tried this. It fixed my dna and I never had another issue.

I can't even get that far, as soon as I tap the camera icon, the camera app flashes open for a moment then instantly closes with an 'unable to start' message. The odd thing is that every so often, with no rhyme or reason, it will randomly start working just fine, then not work at all for weeks on end.
Of course now it's so broken, even LED Flashlight apps don't detect it as even having a camera.
since last update 1.41 everything seems ok apart from when I am disconnected from internet via wifi or data themer crashes,as soon as I reconnect it is fine,anyone else have a similar problem ?
this only applies to any themes made in 1.41,any themes that are made in previous version do not require wifi/data access,can't believe just me having this issue.Have gone down the remove install but issue still persists.

Just updated and problem seems to have vanished now,thanks to devs for quick solve
Problem not resolved yet.
I updated from 1.41 to 1.42 yesterday but the problem still persists.
Whenever i get disconnected from wifi or mobile data, i get to see an irritating pop-up every 1 minute saying: "The app found information about previous cashed. would you like to send this data to the developer?"
I have send it numerous times but it is still there. Its too much irritating.
I also tried uninstalling the themer app and deleting the my colorscreen folder, then restarted the phone and reinstalled the themer. But the problem is still there.
For additional information: This weird problem has started since addition of stupid "bollywood" category
yeah I just made a post regarding this as I now have the same issue m8,sent bloody loads of reports,and you are correct removing themer completely and reinstall does not work
the only way I have managed to get it working properly is to do a factory reset of the phone.Everything else including numerous deletes and reinstall does not work,I tried this as a last resort.Can someone let us know why themer seems to be holding onto the crash data,which as posted above is so annoying,and I or anyone else shouldn't have to factory reset to correct,Can this issue be looked into please by developers,as it can't just be the two of us having this issue.

So for both of you, the problem only occurs when you get disconnected from WiFi/mobile data? Does this include going into Airplane mode?
We want to see if we can replicate this on our end.

Yes, this includes the Airplane mode as well. (Obviously)
Yep as above and guess what factory reset does not solve it same problem this morning even though no errors in themer after reset,and agan plane mode is the same when not connected

We're just trying to replicate the problem. There hasn't been anyone else with the same issue, therefore we need as much info as possible. I put my Nexus 5 on Airplane mode every night and haven't experienced the problem, hence asking the question.

I assume there must be numerous people out there who might be facing the same issue, may be they are following this thread and just waiting for us to reach the resolution of the problem.
I agree with you that the more information will help you to diagnose the problem in better way, and I appreciate your support.
I own stock Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with Android 4.3. I''ll appreciate if "alldroid" and any other who is having the same issue, share their device info here.
Already did above somewhere m8 galaxy s4 running stock kitkat,it has to be themer related other wise the factory reset would have solved it.The only other solution is that the theme itself held on to the errors prior to remove and delete,but even if it did it is a themer problem imo as once an error log is sent it should be removed frm themers memory

We'll keep searching to see if more people are reporting this problem. There is a huge update coming up, I'll see if the update is fixing this issue.
still have the issue and I refuse to believe only two of us have this issue,either that or we are the two most unluckiest themer app users in the world
latest update and..........problem solved no longer asks to send crash data when no net connection
No guys, you are not alone, I'm having this issue too anytime I disconnect my device from a wifi or mobile data, even during poor connection even though with the new update this should be fixed. I don't know if this happens in Airplane mode, never used that mode but I'll try and give you feedback.

Hi guys,
This is my first post.
I just got a Sony Z2, and yesterday I updated it to latest firmware 17.1.1.A.0.402 using flashtool. After that, everytime when I switch off my phone and turn it on, the message of "...android.process.acore has stopped" appeared.
I tried to flashed the phone again using PC Companion to re-update the same firmware. I though the error message has gone but than it is still there.
I have tried several ways as mentioned in this forum but the problem seem to be there. I don't see any problem/error caused by this error message yet.
Any idea/solution to completely remove the message?
Go into settings > apps > all apps, clear all data for anything relating to contacts then all will be fine, make sure contacts are backed up tho of course

I also have the same issue as the OP. It particularly happened after I upgraded to .402 using PC companion.The message will appear always after restarting. My devices has not been rooted. Tried to clear data and cache for contact apps, but after restarting, the message appeared again. I am still lazy to do a re-install because aside from the message appearing only after a restart, there are no other major effect to my Z2's performance. but clearing it will be nice though.
I have the same thing when i touch the phone immediatly when it just restarted, but when i restart and leave it untill screen goes off i don't get the message.

Hi guys,
Thank you for your info.
I tried to disable contact sync of Viber and I think the message has temporarily gone. Sometimes it still pop up but not as often as before I disabled the contact sync of Viber.
Apparently, this problem is caused by contact synchronisation between Viber, Facebook, Messenger, Whatsapp, etc. Other users, such as Samsung phone users, reported that they have the same issue but when they turned off contact sync of the above-mentioned apps, the error message somehow has gone.
To be honest, I have just recently switched to android from iPhone, and I have been usings iOS for years and never seen any kind of issue/error like this on iOS. However, Sony Z2 is one of the greatest phone I ever owned and I am so happy with it, specially its crazy battery life.
Hope you guys will share your solution here if someone can fix it permanently.
Cheers,

i had this problem, amongst others stopping my phone. i pulled the sim card out, then rebooted the phone. the phone then showed it was updating all apps i let it boot up and it seemed to work. pulled battery and put sim card back in. and all ok so far. i have sent my phone 3 times away to vodafone for this repair, with android.clock stopping, android.phone stopped working and the phone actually crashing on the samsung screen and not even booting up. each time all they do is a factory reset. like duhhhh, i have never thought of that (sarcasm). i am hoping that doing this, will give my phone some sort of permanency in it's repair. i have not rooted the phone, it is stock.
Vodofone refused to replace the handset even though it had been in so many times for repair. word of advice. steer clear of vodafone. i am cancelling all my contracts with them.
sorry that went off topic, but i want a phone that works and vodafone will not help you in that matter.

Xperia's have unremovable batteries, maybe you should steer clear of Samsungs
Is that a good thing or a bad thing though? Cos sometimes taking a battery out is what could be needed to fix a problem.
But point taken. Perhaps a change of manufacturer would help

I know people who advocated pulling the battery from devices as the only answer but I've yet to come across a situation on any device which couldn't be handled with >adb reboot or a three finger reset.
There's actually a method on Xperia devices, to disconnect the battery and plug it back. It's called "Hard Reset". Yeah you don't take the battery out in reality, but this method does it in Matrix dimension. So, the consequences are the same.
