CM6.1 Stable camera issue (with video) - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have a weird issue, like the camera is split the image, like the left side is on the right and the right to the left seperated with a black row. also the color is switching to purple, pink.
I'm running on the last stable cyanogen (6.1)
and last radio (5.12),
also I tried pershoot kernel and wildmonks, other than the stock cyanogen kernel
I also try to wipe, data, cache, davlik,
fix permissions, erase camera cache
nothing worked.
here a video of what i'm talking about :
youtube.com/watch?v=cqCXUFNM9QM (sorry bc it's my first post I can't make it playable from here)
the video was recorded in 720p but also happening in camera or any other quality.
I tried to see if it wasn't a hardware issue by reinstalling the stock android 2.2.1 and it hasn't happend. I really don't understand why i'm getting this and it's look like i'm the only one to having this.
the only thing that I have not tried is to downgrade the radio, but I don't know if the issue is coming from the radio...
Thanks!

Camera gone all weird after updating cyanogens.

Well, i flashed the newest stable cyanogenmod, made a backup with nandroid.
Then flashed the newest experimental cyanogenmod.
Now my camera has all weird colors on both of the cyanogens i try.
Anyone else expierenced this kind of behavior? maybe knows answer how to fix the colors on camera?
(btw, ive already tried to clear the data on camera).
Not experiencing it here. Did you try a wipe and see if that helps.

Reboot when attempting to shoot video

I just rooted my Nexus yesterday to Cyans mod. I ve rooted before (tons of ROMS on my G1) so Im not a complete noobie. The ROM runs absolutely perfect and smooth EXCEPT for when I try to record video. Every time, and I do mean every time I try to record a video, the phone freezes for like 3 secs, and then reboots.
Camera shoots photos fine, and this is the only problem I have, but it is becoming a problem, considering I just bought the phone I searched the forms for this problem, and used multiple search strings and found no results.
Has anyone ran into this problem, and if so have you found a fix for it?
**MODS..I deeply apologize if this is in the wrong section.I worked a 10 hour shift and am half asleep while writing this. Please feel free to move if you see fit**
**EDIT..ok..NOT COOL...I just tried to watch a video, and that also no longer works. Anyone know of a fix for this?
Same issue here. Meh...
Ended up switching to Froyo. Hope Cyanogen keeps up.

If you've flashed the 'Froyo' radio then you'll have to downgrade it before video will work, or move (back) to Froyo.
If you haven't changed radio then I have no idea!
same here. the test video i took when i got the (ph)one was amazing quality so i'm looking forward to this working again!
If you guys were EVER on Froyo. It updated your radio. If you then went back to CM builds, you will need to downgrade your radio to the eclair radios in order for the camcorder to work properly.
The phone hasnt been on Froyo (that I know of), so thats not causing my problem. I tried to flash the prerelease before I was rooted, but it was US only and didnt work. I didnt however update my radio when I flashed to Cyan, but I was told this wasnt causing the problem. At this point, anything to get my cam and videos working again!
Would be awesome if Cyan, the man himself, could hook us up with a fix or some advice on this one!

if you attempted to flash the froyo stock update, it included the new radio. its very possible that it successfully flashed your radio, but failed to install the froyo ROM. you can easily check if you have the new radio by going into your settings and checking the baseband version. i bet you are on the new froyo radio, which is known to break video with all 2.1 ROM's. and vice versa, the old radio breaks camcorder on 2.2 ROMs.
so each time you jump between a 2.1 and 2.2 ROM, you have to flash the associated radio as well.
GOOD POINT BRO. I will check this now...
**EDIT** that was it..I must have went to Froyo radio unknowingly. I flashed the stock Nexus radio, and vids and video recording are now working just fine.
Hope this thread helps the others. I foolishly searched "cant record videos" and found nothing, when I should have searched "cant play videos", as there are many threads on that one.
Again, thanks for your help!! Didnt expect a solution so quickly!!
It also seemed to give me 3g problems when I just flashed back, but I ll deal with that one tomorrow after work
Same issue
I have a n1 with 5.0.7.1 and my phone also reboots upon trying to launch the camcorder feature. I'm going to try out the new 5.0.8 test3 with 720p hack add-on and see how that goes.

Any luck? I recently upgraded to CyanogenMod 5.0.8 and immediately after updating I noticed the change. I can watch videos in Gallery just fine, but trying to record (or open Settings) in the camcorder mode causes the phone to hang and then reboot.
I never once tried to get anywhere near Froyo. I'm still waiting for CM6. Any advice on how to restore video functionality? Should I downgrade to the previous version of CyanogenMod? Is that even possible?
As I said, I highly doubt this is a Froyo issue, but it's clearly related to upgrading to CM 5.0.8.

So, to be perfectly clear, did you or did you not update your radio before flashing 5.0.8?

I am not aware of ever having modified any "radio" functionality on my Nexus One. I bought the phone retail at the beginning of May, so it had stock 2.1. About a week later I flashed via USB to whatever version of CyanogenMod was current then. (I'm sorry and embarrassed I can't be more specific.) Everything worked flawlessly.
Then about three days ago, I downloaded the CyanogenMod Updater app from the Marketplace and used that to move to CM 5.0.8. I also performed a backup with Titanium, from which I restored after updating to CM 5.0.8. Since this was done, I my phone freezes and reboots whenever I try to record video. I mentioned the Titanium backup because perhaps the Restore System Data feature resulted in broken settings. But I do recall seeing "720p video" in the changelog to CM 5.0.8, so I'm guessing that's probably the culprit.
I don't understand how the radio would be affecting my camera, but I'm willing to try anything. If we assume that somehow the CM update did change my radio settings, how would I go about correcting that? Should I just wait for CM6, or is this radio problem likely to persist if I don't address it specifically? Is regressing to an earlier version of CM an option?

D'oh. This was clearly it. Because I got CM 5.0.8 via the CyanogenMod Updater app, I did not see that I was supposed to update the radio to Froyo independently of installing CM.
I tracked down the radio image (the Full Update Guide has all the info, for any interested persons) and flashed with that, and sure enough, I know have smooth 720p video recording.
Thank you so much for bluntly and persistently calling my attention to the radio image issue. I'm going to go back to playing with my favorite toy now. =)

[Q] nexus one all sound level goes verry verry low

i used this shipped rom when i got my n1 6 months ago,
Passion_Google_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_MFG_Shipment_ROM.zip
i received all the updates, it was working fine.
the other day, i decided to use the same passimg.zip file,
when phone read the sd card, i accidently selected recovery, it started to do recovery process, middle off the process i freaked out because that was not i wanted to do so i turned off the phone and install passimg.zip
i install all the programs i use and received all the updates,
now n1 sound level goes very low even it shows sound level is max,
its impossible to hear when it rings or playing music.
when i turn off and on the phone i get the sound back, after some time sound level goes very very low even sound level in max. so i turn off and on again and i get sond back,
i dont have any problem during calls i can hear,
right now
version 2.3.6
build number GRK39F
how can i fix this?
This used to happen to me on cm7 I did a full wipe and reflashed the ROM and it fixed the problem so I would suggest you reflash the passimg file.
i downloaded same passimg file and installed it to my nexus one, same proprem continuous.
when i turn off and on, everthing normal.
any ideas?

"full wipe" means, using passimg file and install it again?
Full wipe means to do a factory reset, usually from recovery.
i figured it out. i dont know why but the problem was a program called voipraider,
i uninstalled it, problem solved, thanks for your replies...
Ok well I'm glad you got it resolved
I have this same problem. I don't have the app mentioned above installed, so I'm hoping someone can chime in with another app that may cause this issue? I've done a full factory reset, reinstalled everything (MIUI rom.) Rebooting the phone doesn't always fix the problem.. sometimes rebooting a few times will bring the sound back to normal, yet randomly all sound on the phone is barely audible at max settings. If a normal reboot doesn't work, normally wiping dalvik will fix it. Would this mean the problem lies in one of my apps somewhere? Any advice?
Are you using DarkTremor's a2sd? If so, it is a well-known problem. And wiping dalvik or just the regular cache will reset it. Due to this reason (and a few other minor ones), I switched to S2E for my app2sdext purposes, but I am not sure how well it works with MIUI (it was designed to work with CM7).
@bassmadrigal
Thanks. As I think about it, DTs a2sd is the only common thing I had in my testing. Even switching between ROMs, I kept flashing DT. Since I always have issues with MIUI's stock A2SD (based of DT).. I went back to CM7. I looked into S2E and will take that route.
I hope this fixes it.. the sound was frustrating when my alarm is going off in the AM and it's not making a peep. I'll post back in a few days in hopes that it's ceased to be a problem.
Thanks again for hopefully solving my major nuisance.

[Q] (Onecosmic's ICS RC3) Keyboard disappears while writing

Hey everyone,
I'm testing Onecosmic's (outstanding) rom since about two weeks and discovered a bug which i can't report because of the 10 posts barrier so i'm going to put it in a Question:
How can i fix that the keyboard interface disappears while i am writing any kind of text?​
To describe the problem:
Everytime i'm writing something (no matter if in the browser or sms or google maps or soemthing else) i have the problem that the whole keyboard interface just disappears after a few letters or words (that differs). Furthermore i am unable to reopen the keyboard for ~ 30 seconds.
I am on Galaxy S I9000 with Onecosmic's Rom RC3 but i already had the same problem with 2.11.
Everything else works pretty fine for me.
Sorry for bumping but i really need an answer to this. It is a major problem for me as not beeing able to write text messages really would make this rom unusable.
try to put htc keyboard and see if it works
Just flashed RC3.1 and wiped the cache afterward and now it works just fine. Don't know if the cache wipe or the new RC did the trick.

Me too I have the same problem like yours, but the thing is .. Did you come up from the darky rom as well? Or from Cm7?
mine the problem still persist.. any solution anyone?
I came from a stock 2.2 and then used a rooted kernel to install stock 2.3.6. Then i installed CWM and used it to flash Onecosmic's RC2.11 with glitch kernel at first, while later flashing RC3 and now RC3.1. Did everything like it is explained in the developers thread.
Perhaps you should just try to reflash RC3.1 and then wipe cache again.

Are you coming from DarkyROM? On ics.samsung-updates.com it says that there are some known issues coming from darky core kernel.
---------- Post added at 11:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 AM ----------
perhaps if you were in DarkyROM, flash a kernel other than darky core (maybe semaphore or fugumod), then flash onecosmic, it might work better.

Same issue here, but i think it will just need some more work by the dev's to fix it. I think it isn't that bad as you still can take pictures/video in high resolution.
You just have to live with it until it is fixed.
Hi wuggel,
Thx for the comment,,do find any battery issue on ur phone? I saw the other discussion having jvk modem could last more than 2 days with wifi always on..mine barely can last 24 hours with mild usage of cell,wifi and browsing
and it is back ... after 3 wonderful days of smooth typing the keyboard again disappears...
@riwntouk
my battery is also empty after ~ 24h but this hasn't changed since stock 2.2
---------------------------------
Edit:
Obviously everytime the keyboard bug appears you have to wipe cache ...

[Q] camera fail

Hello, i have a problem with my galaxy gt i9000. i start the camera, couple sec. later it just crashes, it says "unfortunately, gallery has stopped." before that i was using android 2.3.3 then it said camera failed. but then i flashed jelly bean 4.1.1 and still crashes, do anyone knows what might help to get it working again?

go into the settings, app, all, gallery -----> clear cache and delete data
for safety still in recovery mode, wipe cache and dalvik.
then it should go back.

go to recovery mode and wipe cache and dalvik.after that flash that zip.
this could help you. if not it would be better to re-install the rom after you have installed the stock rom + root kernel.
revert it to stock, re-root it, then install whatever ROM, then see, it solved it when i had that problem :fingers-crossed:

I see one or two possible causes of your problem:
1. Kernel more than 391MB usually breaks the 720p video and Gallery, make sure the bigmem patch of kernel is not activated.
2. Flashing directly from GB to JB usually causes post-installation problems, one of which maybe is your problem. Developers recommend a gradual ugrade of Android system to avoid any problems. From GB flash a CM9 ICS first then finally the JB Rom you wanted. In this way, you will surely get a trouble-free Rom.

i dont remember the stock android and other sh*t can u tell me or post a link were i can get everything what i need to revert it stock ? tnx.
You can also try to fix permissions in CWM under "advanced".
prob.
i reverted my galaxy s gt i9000 to stock, and hoped to get camera working again but no. has still that problem, says camera failed or something like that.
well i seen some posts about copyng camera firmware, i tried that. but next problem was... that this copy failed. idk why, maybe i cant in stock ?
pls someone help me!
I think I have exactly the same problem.
It was caused by flashing Onecosmics ICSSGS RC 4.2 to CM10 Stable. (i have to admid the camera was semi broken at ICSSGS already, crashed somewhere in an hour after booting, had to reboot phone to get it running again, but well it was working...)
Camera has never worked since. (stock sammy gave me a black screen when opening the camera, making a picture just made it freeze. CM10 just gives gallery crashes upon opening. Tried nandroids, cleared cashes, tried stock sammy firmwares. I wanted to do a Samsung Kies repair, but i was unable to find stock firmware for my country...
Flashing the camera firmware might work. It didn't for me, but i have heard it could be the solution.
Can you see if you front camera is working (install instagram and make a front camera pic, will evade the gallery has crashed problem).
yea, my front camera works, i can take pictures and watch them later.
but my back camera doesnt work

still nothing
for now i tried to copy another galaxy s i9000 camera firmware and samsung wawe cam. firmware, but still that same problem... well 1 thing changed.
my galaxy s gt i9000 front camera is messing right now, i got like 6-7 me on that camera some lines are on the screen in camera :/
Well, if someone knows something what could help then please tell me!
ive tryed another roms, i been using android 2.3.6 and 4.1.1, back on stock, copyng files and messing around with that.
maybe camera is broken? i dont know what to do...
Have the same problem for a long long time.
been flashing a lotta roms kernels etc.. nothing.
I even changed the camera (I had another GT-i9000) and nothing, which makes me believe it's something of the Motherboard
Also, if I press the screen at the top half of it.. it shuts down.
I've had no back camera for a long time either. I've flashed back to eclair, tried about 4 different cam firmwares which all flashed successfully so they said, and lots of ROMs. I gave up. Im sure it must be hardware.
Seen people posting over time about the same thing. Firmwares helped a couple of people, but lots of people ended up with a dead camera. Buying a new camera unit from eBay fixes it. I think they're about £20....

I have exactly the same problem. Tried everything from changing many roms and kernels. Even bricked my phone for two weeks and then resurrected it using Darky's Rom Resurrection. But the camera even crashed in Darky's rom and it is still not working when I'm back to SlimRom 4.2.2 build 6. It was working all file and I cannot believe that it is a hardware issue. Please help.
YRS
same problem on my i9000. I will try with another camera from a friend's i9000.... if nothing happens probably will leave my precious
