I had the same problem. My solution was to go to Verizon and get a replacement lol. Which rom were you using?
I was on the stock verizon rom
D you tried the SBF from @chaoticweaponry thread¿? I havent had this issue but i imagine that you should replace every bit of partition/ info...
I had an unrelated i cant switch to cdma anymore which was repaired by SBFing
I will look for the post later if you cant find It

What sort of set up are you running there?
Stock, non-rooted N1? Or did you upgrade to FroYo over an existing install using Paul's zip? Any applications installed? When is the phone freezing?
Would love to help, but I think we're going to need a little bit more information from you first.

Previously rooted N1 back to stock rom prior installing froyo from Paul's direct install file for rooted N1 because I lacked stock recovery image.
Basic apps installed like ebuddy news apps etc. didn't install anything different from old install.
Like I mentioned phone stalls in while in sleep mode. Need to pull battery. Cannot soft or hard reset phone.
Ive been reading a lot on xda and didnt notice this occurring in pther phones thats y i decided to open a new thread.
Any help is appreciated thanks!

Did you wipe? If not, usually a wipe helps. I wiped and have not had a single issue of FC...Freezing or anything. I went from Enom to Wipe to Paul's Zip with Radio.
I have the same problem. Until now the screen stayed black after the other party ended the call. Had to pull battery 3 times.
Problem exists even after reflashing, wiping and clearing storage.
Im om pre-rooted frf50 from paul. Gonna try with an older radio..

does it work?
Im having similar issues with my 2.2 installation. I have it installed on my wife's non-rooted N1.
Not just that but the market is not even usable. Even if I clear cache.
Again, her phone is not rooted, I wipped everything from her phone then applied Froyo and its been a nightmare. Her phone isn't even stable enough to use and I cant seem to figure it out.
I need to find a way back to 2.1 without having to root her phone. She is adamant about me not doing that to her phone even though Ive rooted all the phones I've ever used with no issues.
I was having the same problem on my N1. Started suddenly two days after the manual upgrade to 2.2. The phone would either freeze to a black screen or sometimes the live wallpaper would continue but the phone was unresponsive even to the power button. Needed to pull the battery to restart.
It stopped after I:
* Turned off live wallpaper
* Uninstalled LauncherPro Beta
* Removed the Pure Calender Widget (was broken after 2.2 update anyway)
* Charged the battery (was down to below 10% when it started happening repeatedly).
Anyone one of them (or none of them) could have been the culprit. My guess it was one of the last two (PureCalender or battery) but haven't had time to troubleshoot it. Try some of these and see if it helps.
Ive tried all that on her phone. I just wiped it again completely and re flashed just in case that was the issue. Phone still had all the issues described in this thread.
I wiped the sd card, wiped all previous system files via the stock recovery and re flashed the update zip. You cant get anymore clean than that and its still so unstable the phone its unusable. I have to either hope soft booting works or pull the battery as a last ditch.
Is there any way I could downgrade her phone to 2.1 without rooting? I tried the shipping rom in the sticky above but it seems that isn't totally legit for stock use because the phone doesn't like how its signed.
I guess I could call google/htc tomorrow but who knows where that'll get me. The only bonus iud that her phone is not rooted so she didn't really have her warranty voided.

I was worried if I was the only one with this problem. Phone improved today (3rd day of using) but I didn't do anything to it. Only hanged once when someone called. Hanged on calling in screen and had to pull battery.
Only once compared to 7 times yesterday!

Yes until now it does. Sometimes the power button is reacting a little late but i havent had to pull the battery yet with the older radio.
You might want to download it again and flash that to see if you had a corrupt download. First copy all data from the sd and partition it. Just make everything fat. I havent used the stock recovery in ages so I cant recall if you can partition from there, if you cant, do it on the pc. Wipe everything that the stock recovery can wipe. Then try to flash your new download of the update. You can do this fairly quickly and its worth a try before you go through the process of reverting to 2.1.

I'll give this a shot when I get home from work. I'll report back on if it works or not. Thanks for the idea.
Interesting, not that I'm complaining, but after a few days of using 2.2 it seems more stable now....? haven't had any freezes today...yet.
Power button response also getting better.

I haven't had any issues for a few days as well. Still wondering if it had to do with the battery level.

Older radios are not 100% compatible.
I was using my phone today, and my camera worked just fine, i took a couple pictures with it. then later on in the day, the camera app didnt work, as i clicked the app it would just make the screen black, and would take a little while to boot up the home screen if i pressed home. after a while it would as me to force close, and it would say that it couldnt connect to the camera.
Please help, Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Flashed wildmonks 2.6.35 kernels (considered a work-in-progress, personally tested on cm6 RC1 and Nightly) it worked but then the problem arrived, i restored my nandroid backup i had done prior to flashing the kernel, and the camera still doesnt work.
I had this exact same problem and had to send my n1 back to htc for hardware failure. A bunch of threads like this in the offical nexus one forums at google too.
Too bad your boot loaders unlocked. i sent mine back stock.
darn so its a hardware failure? is there any way to be sure?

reflashed my nexus one with rodriguezstyle CM6 limemod. the camera still isnt working. what to do if i was sold this with an unlocked bootloader?
My front facing gives me a prompt that "camera is unable to initialize". Should I wait until the droid 4 comes out to call verizon for a replacement? Oh yeah, anybody know the fix. Thanks

Oh yeah and I just flashed back to the stock rom and it still gives me the message, I may go to VZW tomm to get a fresh droid 3 and sell that & my hp touchpad for a Galaxy nexus...still up in the air about it though
oh yeah, save your keystrokes on the obvious advice, i pulled the battery, i went to settings ->applications ->manage applications and cleared the defaults, i wiped data, cache, dalvik and reflashed...i even reflashed to stock, its not working....I tried different camera apps, downloaded the atrix blur camera, nothing
When you say flashed to stock, do you mean fastboot flash? If that doesn't fix it go for the replacment.

Best to wipe cache etc plus format the system folder prior to flashing roms in the mounts section of recovery.

I have the same issue on my Droid 3. It happened after I rooted but I am running the stock rom. I only rooted to debloat. I even rebloated but the issue is still there. I have seen on many threads where this happens on Droid 3 even with stock roms and no root. The facing camera was always flaky. As it turns out, I really don't miss it. The root/debloat and nearly doubled my battery life. I know, it should not have made that big of a difference but it has.
Im having the same problem, i think its an well known hardware issue from Droid 3, lots of users had experienced failure in front facing camera..
everytime i try to open my camera it starts to open then closes and says camera unable to initlize i tried rebooting my phone and factory whipe and nothing worked can anyone help?
I made the same thread an hour before you did dude
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21537086#post21537086
but no Im still waiting for a fix, I think I am just going to bombard the VZW store tomorrow and ask for a replacement...
im talking about both cameras not just the front one
Are you rooted, runnning stock rom, custom rom. You need to include some more information.

Apply update from SD card? You must be doing the wrong process. The SBF file is flashed on your phone in conjunction with the RSD lite Windows application

Why did you need to root to install adw? or you just rooting to remove bloat?

Hashcode's ICS rom has [mostly] working camera
Rooting mainly to remove bloatware and ads from applications. Also to overclock cpu thats about it. I had to use an sbf file because I was stuck in cm7 with no recovery and the wifi didn't work.
