Camera problem (distorted/rainbow?) - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am literally having the same exact problem as this guy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5916018&postcount=3880
Basically anything that gives off light is warped into a rainbow effect. It happened about a week ago and then fixed itself and is now back. I have tried deleting all camera apps then even wiping AND flashing a different rom and the problem persists. Can anyone help? I am pretty sure it isn't a hardware issue or at least I hope it isn't because i treat my phone very carefully.
P.S. This first happened when I was on the latest Super D and now I wiped everything and am on the latest CyanMOD.

Hello? Anyone?!

Had the same trouble. Tried every thing including unrooting and letting the phone update to latest. i wound up having to send it back. They sent a new 1 in a couple of days. Works great. Good luck.

It may be a stupid question, but still ...
Did you installed SRS WOW HD?
I lost sound when I installed this program.
Uninstalled it, rebooted, everything back to normal.

errrm, no, I have had the radio for a long time, and I reflashed the stock rom with default radio to check..
I flashed the new radio AFTER I got the problem, I have used same radio for 4-5 months with no issues at all.

No, if you read my post you would see that I have done hard-reset and flashed new rom (stock) after I started to have this problem, and I still have it
Sameproblem
Hi, I've got the same problem here.
I flash to NoThrills Dutch (WM6.1) about a month ago..
Everything worked fine.
No problems at all
At one moment (yesterday) my phone rang. I pressed the green butten. The call was accepted but no sound. I hungup. Called the person back, no sound.
After that happend all sound was lost (speaker, windows media, coreplayer, etc, etc)
Then I performed a softreset. sound was working again. I called someone. Everything was ok. Then I hungup. and the sound was gone again.
So I performed a Hard reset.
Sound was OK till I accepted a call.. and the problem started all over again.
Then I performed a Radio ROM flash. I've tried the following versions:
KAIS_Radinly_1.27.12.11_CustomRUU
KAIS_Radinly_1.64.08.21_CustomRUU < This was my default radio after nothrills update.
POLAR_Radinly_1.58.21.23_CustomRUU.
This didn't solve the problem.
Any suggestions?
Keep in mind that before the problem occured I didn't perform any (rom)updates nor have I installed any software lately.
I perform a softreset every 2 days normally.

I also have the same problem and have been experiencing it on a number of rom/radio combinations. I have now flashed back to stock bootloader/rom/radio to see if it happens again - it did happen when I was just on stock rom/radion but using hard-spl.
There seems to be a few people now with this problem Unfortunately nobody of any particular knowledge to help fix it. Lots of people are making noises about incompatible radios but I know for a fact that I have been using compatible radios and still getting the problem. If it does it again now it will go back to HTC, but at a bit of a loss as to what is going on.
Yep, happened again.... hard resetting now again to see if happens on 'bare' device!

Yesterday I've flashed the nothrills rom twice. First time no luck. the second time everything functioned OK...
I hope it will stay working this time. If not it's back to HTC with the phone..
I am having the same issue starting 2-3 weeks ago. I am also having trouble with all phone functionality in general. The SMS, Phone call, internet. They all work intermittently. Sometimes it work but most of time it doesn't work. Now I am so frustrated that I am planning to take the phone back to vodafone to see whether they can replace mine.
Who here has had the issue that is using MSVC or S2U2, or both?
Hey everyone, watch http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392606
for a similar discussion.
I think it's going to end up being S2U2.
H
It happened to me on the ATT Death Beta and I do not use S2U2...
Reverted back to L26 V4 Vanilla and all is well again...
I've tried most every ROM available on XDA with most every radio in the last 6 weeks (I used the compatible ones). I even went back to AT&T 6.0 ROM/radio. No luck. Unfortunately I probably can't return it to HTC as I bought my Tilt on ebay and unlocked it to use with T-Mobile... I don't use S2U2 and actually have very vague idea what it is.
I am seeing this on my stock AT&T ROM and Radio, but I am hard spl'd. This also popped up on me about 2 - 3 weeks ago and I can't shake it no matter what ROM I try, even stock.
It seems today I am good but I am not running anything on here - no HTC Home, no MS VC, no S2U2.
I am going to put MS VC on first and go ahead through the weekend to see what makes me break.
Not good news that people WITHOUT S2U2 are seeing this exact problem. I was hoping that was it.
Just to confirm, we have users that:
1.) Do NOT use S2U2
2.) Do NOT use MS VC
3.) DO have the problem where the phone will suddenly stop making sounds. Calling people, they cannot hear you, you cannot hear them. Only a soft reset helps and only then for a short while.
Can someone confirm they meet all of these criteria? If not, do we have people that hit 2 out of 3?

[Q] Have you guys fixed the ghost call issue..?

It seems like most of people dont have the ghost call issue of gingerbread update. If not they haven't figured it out as it doesn't occur always. I checked it with my home phone. I made 10 calls and 3 of them were ghost calls.
There problem is with the baseband according to my knowledge.
Do we have to wait for the next update to overcome this problem.?
If we did, there'd be a thread about it.
Please use the search function next time.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II w/ DUAL BOOT: CM9 / MIUI
I feel bad for all you people having ghost call issues. I would say for anyone having them to take it to your store you got it and demand a different one. I have tried all the gb kdz's and never once had ghost call issues. It might be a problem specific to individual devices being not everyone has them. And it seems like the people who haven't had GC once, haven't had them ever.
And so I have spoken it.. and so it shall be.
ahh :-( :-(
that means we are not going to receive and GC fixing update in the future. Unfortunatly im outside US and will not be able to go to any store.. :-( :-( :-(
Factory resetting (from the menu and also all options in recovery menu) before and after reinstalling GB did the trick for me. Didn't notice any GCs after that and never got complaints from family anymore. I was on my countries official GB though. When I was trying to use Rogers nothing could have stopped GCs for me.
Im on the at&t baseband. Factory resetting it didn't work for me.

So did I, for some reason the last time I did it worked. Like I said though, I didn't simply factory reset it. I removed the mem card, formatted internal mem card 3x, factory reset phone from settings 3x, boot phone into recovery mode and performed all wipes 3x, than installed GB on this completely blank slate, than did all that again before using it. I believe I did have 1 GC instance after that, I don't remember for sure if it was before or after I did all that, but than for at least 5 weeks I whenever I noticed white signal bars I dialed a number and sent myself a text. They always worked fine and I never got the RIP message. Also no one ever had trouble getting a hold of me or mentioned that they couldn't, and my wife is very vocal about that. That's how I knew I was having so many problems before the final straw that forced me to try all that. Either way I've now jumped ship and an happily using an iPhone 4S. Sure I miss my custom keyboads and stuff but my phone finally works smooth as silk and I never have to worry about it again.

Guys we should report this issue to LG. Otherwise they will not feel our problem...
Please use the above link to report Ghost call issue.

[I9001] MicroUSB Hardware Problems

Hey guys,
I hope you can help me with my problem. I have it now about 1 month and I think I'll have to send my SGS to Samsung if you don't have any idea how to solve this problem.
About 1 month ago (a little bit after I installed arco's cm9, first released version) the phone always showed that it had an USB connection, it always said it was being charged and I couldn't change the USB-Connection-Type to Kies or Media Player. Because of this, I made a backup through CWM and reinstalled CM9 - but the problem was still there. Even after a full wipe of all partitions (system, data, caches) the problem was still there. So I restored a backup I made 3 month ago, where the problem definitely wasn't there. The restored ROM was CyMod. But still, the phone thought it was continual plugged in. Then I tested updating to a stock firmware with Kies - but the software failed doing it.
I thought I would just wait a little bit, because the problem may fix itself - and it partially did. Now, sometimes everything is normal, but the biggest part of the time it changes every second if the Phone is "plugged in" or not. And the bad thing about this is that it keeps the display running all the time. Sometimes, if I knock with the part where the USB-hardware is on my table, the problem is fixed, till I plug it in again or lay it down (even if I lay it down carefully).
So, is there any solution for this problem? I searched XDA Developers and almost the whole internet, but I didn't find anybody with the same problem.
It would be really cool if you could help me. If nobody of you has a solution, I simply send it so Samsung.
Thanks in advance, GC98
PS: Sorry for my bad english, but I learned english for 5 years now and never wrote a post like this before ^^

you try checking the USB port and follow cleaning advise http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27205737&postcount=4571
If it is internal, this will give you an idea http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574211
Thanks for your really fast answer! You give me my hope back
Honestly, I didn't even think of cleaning it. I'll do it tomorrow, here in Germany it's a bit late. I'll let you know if it worked or not!
Sadly, it didn't work. Still the same error. I'll just send it to Samsung. But thanks for trying to help me!

[Q] No sensors - Stock 5.1

Hi all
So I flashed LMY47I onto my Google play Nexus 6, and now all the sensors (brightness, prox, gyro) are disabled. These were working fine before the flash and flash went well.
A few apps from Google play agree that my phone do not have any sensors. This makes me think its not some hardware issues since these are independent sensors.
I have tried clean flash, full wipe, but no changes.
Any ideas? Search in the forum only returns some Samsung stuff.
Thanks in advance
2015/04/25 Update:
Reflashed a few different unofficial roms, as well as official 5.1.0 one last time with full wipe and factory reset. Nothing worked.
Since I feel like I've already spent enough time on this, I just gave up and called google. Quick 5 minutes phone call and a replacement is on its way! At least the service is good :good:

I had the same issue originally with my pre-order unit, I ended up having to RMA it. No matter what I did, I could never get the sensors to start working again. I ended up taking a friends phone, grabbing his entire partition layout and stock dump and it still did not work.
I posted on here with what I think is the same issue. I noticed it with the accelerometer first because screen rotation stopped working, then I realized the compass wasn't working either. I hadn't noticed the light and proximity sensors, but after reading your post I checked and it seems those are broken too. I see the same thing that you are; apps seem to think my phone has no sensors at all. I checked the system logs and it seems that it throws some kind of access denied error when trying to use the sensor API. I haven't been able to fix it in 5.1, however, when I first noticed the issue I flashed the 5.0.1 image and they seemed to be working again (screen rotation worked at least) so I'm pretty sure the hardware is okay. I have just been using my phone with broken sensors, but it's really annoying.

Hm, can you share your RMA process with Google? Did you get in touch with them through call or email?

Any luck? If yes, perhaps you could try a custom 5.1 or 5.1.1 rom and see if the sensors work.
You could play it safe by flashing one of the stock-based custom roms in the development forum.

That being said. Definitely a problem if stock image doesn't work... Hm... still considering RMA.
Will report back either way though!

You're welcome. It'll be interesting to see if 5.0.1 works for someone else. Up until now it looked like I was the only one who had this issue.

My RMA process was handled through ATT since it was a pre-order item from them originally. I ended up trying CM12, stock and reflashing the PIT, nothing seemed to correct it so I just wanted to get a new unit as fast as possible.

Didn't work unfortunately.
I've updated the op. Basically I just called up Google and asked for replacement.
Sorry to bump and resurrect a dead thread -- my accelerometer stopped working after I accidentally dropped it on my hard wood floor.
I was able to get it working again by dropping it from 2.5 feet onto my carpet. I know it sounds crazy and dumb -- but that was my last resort before calling Google for a replacement.
All is working perfectly now.
It happened when I dropped my phone in my Carved case. I have dropped it accidentally with a spigen case (2 layers) never had a problem. Not blaming the case but pointing out the correlation.

finger scanner

Hi,
I am currently experiencing a problem with my finger scanner. It does not show up under settings.
Everything was going going perfectly a couple of days ago, but one morning, it was bugging si I decided to restart my phone. Since then, it disappeared from the settings menu.
Does someone else have the same issue?
Is there a way to say if it is due to a software or hardware issue?
Any thoughts?
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the advice, but I already tried it, two times just to make sure... Nothing changed.
The weirdest thing is that restarting the phone gave me access to the fingerprint scanner once, but disappeared 2 days later... Since then, have not been able to get access to it. This is why I don't know if it is hardware or software related.

You should also try to downgrade to older software using FF, if that doesnt work than its hardware problem. EDIT: Try wipe cache using stock recovery first
