Hey if you deleted or froze the email that came on the phone you will need to restore it it some how is linked to the camera. That was what was wrong with mine anyway hope this helps

Ihadnt though of that I will give it a shot now

My camera stopped working too the other day. I had changed my resolution using LCDDensity and I sort of expected this to be the culprit and yes, and when I turned back density to 240 the camera worked again.

did it work ?

Ok tried setting density back to 240. No go. Currently running 165 but can switch back again if need be. Also, is the stock email app email 2.2?

Hm, I think that your changing the density and having the camera not working can't be a coincidence ;-). You may need to adjust some other settings after going back to density 240.
I use ADW Launcher EX and had all the icons set back to normal as well and I may have changed a few other settings in ADW (colums, rows and dock icon settings). Soft reset twice after this. It worked for me.

Ok I set density back to 240, completely uninstalled go launcher ex and themes, cleared caches, soft reset twice and it is still throwing me the error.
Tried so far:
-lcd density set back to 240
- reloaded and set up email which works flawlessly ( email 2.2, still searching around so see if 2.2 came stock and if I did upgrade it, would it affect camera)
-unistall of go launcher and themes/widgets <-- love this launcher. Dev's are awesome.
-cleared phone/app caches
-soft rest twice
Just want to add a side note real quick: this forum and its community are untouchable. I had to share my wifes ipad 2 for a while, but after having this tab and my evo shift for a while I will never look twice at an iAnything ever again. This platform combined with this AWESOME community give me something else to look forward to everyday. Genuinely good folks who actually try to help rather than "search", "search button moron", etc. That button can only get you so far which is why ya'll here at xda freakin rock. Sorry so long, but been meaning to pay thanks for a while

Swype gone

So I got a minor firmware update for my Note. Now Ive lost swype. When I choose swype as input setting, no keyboard pops up. When I go to swype settings nothing happens.

Have you change language?

Yeah I tried that. The regular samsung keypad works fine but I miss the ability to use Swype

Default keyboard not staying set

I have both Swift and Slideit keyboards and have managed to set the slideit keyboard as the default keyboard, however whenever I turn the phone off and back on or sometimes not even that, the keyboard defaults back to the Sense keyboard. This is the first sense keyboard that I really do NOT Like at all but cannot get rid of. Is there anyone else that is having the same issue?

For some reason there was an Indic keyboard on mine. All kinds of strange symbols on the keys. And for some reason it kept turning it on. I finally disabled it in Apps which seems to have fixed the problem and my Swiftkey keboard is staying as default

I had the same issue with Swype. Fixed it by making it a system app.

Same issue in hox and hos with Jelly...
But you can resolve with a freeze of HTC_IME.apk...
In hox rom works fine
Try

Default keyboard always resets to stock.

I have had this keyboard problem for as long as I can remember. Lived with it for a while but it is driving me nuts and I need to fix it.
The default input method always reverts to the stock keyboard. I much prefer SwiftKey but cannot get it to remain as the default after selecting it.
After setting SwiftKey as the default it works for a few minutes while I test typing in a couple apps. Then I will need to type something and the stock keyboard had gone back to being the default.
I am rooted stock only and don't see any apps that have been disabled that look to be the culprit.
Any ideas would be appreciated. I cannot live with the stock keyboard any longer.
Help please!

Have you tried freezing it? I've totally uninstalled the stock keyboard, no issues.

I could not disable it but that's a great idea. I just used root explorer to rename the apk and it seems to work great.
Thank you very much. I should have thought of that.

[Q] How to set Swype as default

Ok I have changed in settings keyboard and language to swype but it keeps reverting back to the google keyboard I prefer Swype but cannot get it to stick any one have any suggestions??

Go into a text input field in any app so that the keyboard comes up. Next, swipe down the notification bar and in the list you should have an item that says "choose input method". Tap on that and change your keyboard. See if that sticks.

Go into the settings for Language and Input.
There's an area to specify which of your keyboards should be the default one.
Select Swype there and you're golden.

Thanks guys it still reverts back though

I use an app called SwiftKey which seems quite a bit more accurate compared to Google Swype and it does your dictionary in the cloud if you ever change phones.

Go to settings apps disable stock kb

No problem. i had the same issue. was very annoying. anytime swiftkey would update, the stock keyboard would take over.
