I've been scouring the forums in hopes of a fix for my problem (the G1 Q&A and the Android Development forums). In my searches I have found 10-20 people who have had this similar problem, specifically, a force close whenever I (we) attempt to use the camera.
I'm %90 positive this is a software issue. I have had this phone (my 3rd one) for a few months now, and never have I had any issues with the camera, i actually use the video cam fairly often. Anyways...I decided a while back to root and flash Cyanogen's latest ROM, with the latest radio (posted a few days ago) and the Death SPL. Once i completed this, I was met with an instant force close when attempting to use my camera.
I have actually wiped and installed Cyanogen's ROM 2x, (the 2 latest versions), I have also installed KingKlick latest ROM, neither of these, coupled with countless different configurations has solved the problem. I have attached a small snippet of the last log I pulled. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I also forgot to mention (and this might be completely wrong), I did restore the 1.5 image from the SPL, rebooted the phone, and the camera still didn't work, it didn't force close, just hung like it was trying to boot. I have also used the latest Super D ROM and I'm experiencing the same issue.
With my minimal knowledge, only one thing in the log jumped out at me, or, should I say I only saw one thing that I understood.
"X: /dev/msm_camera/control0 open failed: No such file or directory!"
Please help, this is a major deal for a number of people, every time it's posted, people just seem to ignore it.
Download Camera Magik from the market. If the problem is software related, then using a different camera app could be the solution. I like camera magik because is takes better pictures at low lights then the stock and the ability to zoom, but you can try any other app. Another suggestion is trying a sense based rom and using HTC camera. GL
I guess I should have said Kernel based as opposed to software based. I tried Camera Magic as well as one other new type of photo software, Camera Magic FC's, the other one opens, but, the camera never turns on.
Do you have any other apps that use camera(i.e barcode scanner, shopsavy)? You may have to uninstall and re-install. Did you wipe in-between roms? Try clearing your rotation settings from recovery, that may sort it out (I know it's a long shot). Other then that, email whoever's rom you're using directly with that log, they may be able to help you a lot faster then any of us regular folks can
Good luck
try a complete super duper wipe.
start from rc29, nonrooted. see if the camera works. if it does, start the root-rom process and check at certain intervals. if it doesnt work when your not rooted and on the stock original firmware, then its gotta be the phone. did it ever work before? i know you said this is your 3rd phone. has it ever worked on this particular phone?
First off, the camera/video has worked on all 3 of my phones, the 1st one had to be replaced because the keyboard went out, and, the 2nd one just kept randomly rebooting, the 3rd hasn't had any problems what so ever until my first root, which was Stock 2 Cyanogen.
So, I went back to RC29 unrooted and experienced a different problem. The camera didn't FC, but, it hung indefinitely at a black screen (kind of a dark grey). Unfortunately, for some reason the system option to force update to cupcake wasn't available, so, after 5hrs of waiting, I went back to root SuperD.
Hey Guys,
Ever since I first experienced this bug, it seems more and more people are coming forward explaining the same symptoms.
Connection drops, OS becomes unresponsive, freezes, and then you are greeted by the 'X' animation. After the phone reboots, it freezes once again and returns you to the 'X' animation and the process repeats until you pull the battery.
There seems to be no direct trigger as it can occur when on a call, when browsing or even when the phone is idle.
I've read through various threads on different forums in an attempt to reveal some kind of pattern, yet reports are coming from users on different ROMs with different kernels and different apps. I've created this thread in the hope that if people contribute their experiences, we can draw some kind of reasoning behind the development of the bug and offer some hope for resolving the issue in then future.
So guys, what are your experiences of the BLOD? What ROM were you running? What kernel were you running? Do you overclock, underclock or remain at stock? Anything you think may contribute to this annoying bug.
Thanks in advance.....
Reserved for future use
My experience began after updating to Kang-o-Rama 0.6 final (CM 5.0.6) after using Kings Desire Port aswell as using Paul's Desire ROM and Cyanogenmod previously. Originally it happened to me in the gym. While listening to music I recieved an SMS and the phone suddenly crashed and went into the BLOD. I had to pull my battery for it to stop. Since that occasion, I began to suffer the BLOD 3-5 times a day, sometimes when on a call and other times when the phone was idle. I tried wiping and reinstalling countless times, flashed stock Cyanogen and the later versions of K-o-R which would give my phone a slight reprieve ,however eventually the BLOD would hunt me down and return.
Eventually I believed it was a Cyanogenmod specific bug, especially after reading this thread,
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?/topic/43-odd-crash/
Since I thought it was CM specific I went away and flashed Enom's ROM which again gave me a reprieve but only until I charged the phone at night. I awoke in the early house to find my phone rebooting away as I slept. This pattern continued for 3 nights until last night which was my first BLOD free night.
Now i'm not 100% sure as to what cured my looping last night but I flashed a new kernel yesterday (IR .33.5) and also on the advice of this thread,
http://www.google.co.uk/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=2711ea74ef3d9aee&hl=en
I wondered whether the fact that I'd started using the stock alarm clock app could have triggered this so called 'notification bug'. I returned to using Gentle Alarm from the market and cancelled my stock Androdid alarm.
Right now i'm waiting to see how long I go without a BLOD before investigating if it was specifically the new kernel or changing the alarm which got me through the night. Will report back if anything changes.
I'm pretty sure this is a form of a kernel panic. I know Cyanogen had made some type of tweet or post regarding this. I'll try to find it and edit this post when done

Cyanogen posted something regarding it being a system_server crash in the CM thread and that we needed logs of the event occuring before he could draw any conclusions. I managed to dump and adb logcat of the event while it was happening, although it was just a panic loop of which a segment was posted on the Cyanogenmod forum I posted above. Has anyone managed to capture a log of the BLOD as it starts? That would be a great help.
I got my N1 about 4 weeks ago and it worked OK until I flashed the Froyo radio. from that point on I could not get any rom to run in a stable way - my reboots happened 3 - 4 times a day and got to the point where I would get stuck in the boot loop. Pulling the battery did not always solve the problem although I found that if I kept the battery out for several minutes my chances of getting the phone to boot into either the ROM or recovery would be better.
I noticed at the same time that once the boot loop started I could not get into recovery until my phone had at least booted into the ROM successfully once.
Flashing back to the 4.04 radio reduced the random reboots to about once a day - usually at night after I had just plugged my phone in to charge. I was using the stock alarm app as a bedside clock.
After many days of frustration and the help from several people here at XDA, I finally came to conclusion that the problem must be hardware related and am returning my current device to HTC and am getting a new one.
I don't have a boot loop but I definitely experience the initial stages of this problem on a stock (unrooted, locked) N1 (at&t).
50% of the time when the N1 loses the connection (e.g. due to going into a garage) it will not re-acquire the signal. Searching for networks will hang, putting the phone in flight mode and then disabling flight mode will still result in no signal.
The only way to get a cell signal back is rebooting the phone.
Usually, searching for a network and/or enabling and disabling flight mode will result in the phone turning black and then rebooting.
I have the problem, too.
Just a few notes:
didn't have it on stock rom and Cyanogen 5.0.6, nor an Enomther's 1.8.1, started with Enomther's 1.9.2
This is not really a reboot, because a real reboot always helps. Other than a reboot, it starts directly at the X animation, not with the unmoving X before.
Seems to be a kernel panic.
I currently suspect that the panic happens when the RAM is full, especially if there is one single process that uses up massive amounts of RAM (could be in the background, of course).
I yesterday found that Sytrant (periodically sets time using internet time server) has a memory leak, and on closer inspection today found that it queries an ad server every few seconds and thus switches from sleeping to running state every few seconds. Also, it spawns root processes when setting time, which might lead to the system not wanting to kill it.
So, here's my current suspection (I'm not at all sure if that's true!):
The reboot loop only happens when the system runs out of memory.
In this case, Android should normally kick out other programs: First apps that are not running anymore, but are still in memory, second background jobs, and third services.
I guess there's some error in the killing logic in newer Cyanogen kernels and others that use Cyanogen parts (or maybe even in the orginal code from Google).
This somehow leads to a state where the kernel has no memory left and can't kill a process, too. -> Kernel panic
Maybe this is more probable if there is one big memory hog the kernel doesn't want to kill (because it's a service, or maybe because it has children running as root).
So, everyone who has this problem, please get a process monitor or task manager where you can see how much memory an app uses. OSMonitor is a very good one, and it can also sort the processes by memory usage. Start it periodically to find out if a process is constantly growing.
If you found such a process: Is it one that requires root? Does it run as a service? (Unfortunately, OSMonitor can't tell you if a process runs as service, or at least I didn't find it if it can. ES Task Manager can show that information, though, for example.)
Personally, I threw Sytrant off my phone now and will watch if that helps. I had reboot loops every two or three days, so I can't tell yet if it really will make a difference. I really hope so …
Edit: Of course, this theory does not really explain why the network drops before the boot loop starts. It could be, though, that the kernel tries to kill just anything to gain meomry, which might also be a system process that it responsible for the network. As the networks always seems to drop before the loop starts, maybe killing that process is what leads to the panic in the end.
Maybe, could … well, yes, this is just a theory. But at least it sounds good, doesn't it? ;-)
The more I read about this problem here and in other threads, the more I am convinced that my problem is probably not hardware related. My replacement phone arrives today but now I am wondering if I should return my original or not. Argg!
Is there a way we can all band together to try and get to the bottom of this problem? I am more than willing to do whatever testing those that know what to look for tells me to do.
Would one of the Guru's here be willing to guide us through a coordinated troubleshooting excersize?
Maybe we can start by trying to find out what we all have in common?
I have an AT&T/Rogers version of the N1.
I typically have the Facebook, Calendar Widgets on home screen.
Power Widget on 2nd screen
Use gmail but via the standard email client, not the gmail client.
Use the native alarm clock app in the dock at night
16GB ADATA MicroSD card.
I also install:
- ChompSMS (with icon widget on home screen)
- NewsRob (with Widget on home screen)
Did not get the reboots initially running the stock rom but they started the moment I installed paul's version of Froyo. I tried several of the other roms and had the same instability and BLOD's until I reverted back to stock and things stabalized again although I was still getting random reboots once a day or so.
While a hardware issue (especially RAM failure) could cause this issue, I don't think that it is the cause in most of the cases here. The fact that some don't experience it anymore after trying one or another software-related measure makes a hardware failure highly improbable, at least in their cases.
I won't rule that out, but until I tried everything else I can't conclude it must be a hardware faliure.
Please get OSMonitor and watch your processes. If after some days you still can't find a process using more than, say, 65 M, and still get the issue, you can be pretty sure that a memory leak isn't the problem for you.
The memory leak + killing bug guess is a good one and is quite probable. So let's check that first.
I think my FroYo rom problems are the same problems you guys are having. I think it's something with an app or an element of the OS or something.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=703508
I get the exact same issue on a handful of roms. Everything starts to force close, then it goes into boot loop, but, as someone said, doesn't really fully reboot, it just starts at the boot screen.
I've also noticed when things get funky, plugging in the USB cable makes it immediately go into a boot loop.
I start having this problem after I install the Quadrant Standard program, I was using the Kang-o-rama - Froyo when this happened. But after going back to Paul's Froyo everything is working perfectly again.

I deleted quadrant, signed into market and all so it knew i uninstalled it, flashed a baked modaco R17, and it still boot looped on first reboot.
I suspect it is related to the 4.06 radio. My first boot loop started just after I installed the radio and before I updated the ROM itself.

That doesn't explain mine though. I get the boot loop on some roms but not others, with the same radio.

Which ROMS are safe for you - I will flash one of them tonight and see if it works on my device as well - maybe we can narrow it down to a specific ROM.
Would also appreciate a list of the apps you use - I am thinking we should set up our phones as close to identical as possible to begin with and then start adding things to see what causes it. Thoughts?

The only roms that screw up for me are modded froyo roms. LeoFroyo works fine for some reason, as does the stock FRF50. I'll screenshot my apps in a minute and post them.
I have this on stock 2.1u1 EPE54B
I was getting some pretty random boot loops when running CM 5.0.7.1 and 4.04 radio. Noticed two things could (almost) cause it every time:
1) Not so much a cause, but Google Listen was running almost every time I went into a BLoD.
2) Something that WAS causing it.. I keep my phone on airplane mode at work with WiFi on, since I don't get a reception in the building. Reboot + turn off airplane mode when the phone is to that point = BLoD.
I actually flashed Kang-o-Rama and the 4.06 radio earlier, no problems now.

Did you flash the Froyo version with SP3?
Just absolutely the worst rom I've ever had on my phone, and I've ran Pulse roms and half built sense UI roms.
I wiped my phone and cleared the partitions but it was always the slowest thing in the world.
The wifi never stayed connected
Gps never ever ever worked
after an amount of time using the rom
it would suddenly not accept incoming text messages
Tons of bogus **** like that.
Anyone else have this problem? I'm currently on speed team Eclair and it's working marvelous, just like the htc clay / fast test 1.6 roms with the 10MB hack.
(mind you these were his new releases, not so much his every day nightlies, but his stable and unstable ones)

Its the kitchen sink problem.... which has two forms;
1) The more bloated big crap you throw down the kitchen sink, the more plugged up it becomes.
2) If you throw in even the kitchen sink, then you've gone WAY too far (related to the phrase "everything but the kitchen sink", which is to say you've packed too much useless crap).
In other words, it is a big fat pig. Just picture yourself a 350 pound fat woman waddling down the street. There's CM ROM for you. Moves just as fast.
Funny you should say that SpeedTeam Eclair is actually themed/botched/molested CM5 (which ran like crap for me ).
I'd suggest trying a straight-up AOSP Froyo ROM which does not use CM kernel.
I also am having many issues with Cyan's roms these days. I'm not even running Froyo, I'm running CM5. Random stuff will happen a while after wiping/flashing. Last time all my Google apps would just force close no matter what I did. This time the Market stopped working. Logs say it ran out of memory and was killed. I killed all non-essential services (which only give me 20-25mb of memory) and cleared app data for market, cleared caches in recovery. I'm just getting fed up with it.
I want a new phone so I can get some stable-ness back in my life, but Tmobile isn't releasing many cool phones like the others (Tmobile's Galaxy S design was disappointing).
Can anyone suggest another rom to run on my EOL G1 until something good comes out? =\

Yep. I'm running CM6 and it is super slow and unresponsive, constantly crashes, no apps2sd so it runs out of space immediately and won't accept incoming text messages, apps won't install or update, background notifications don't work in any app? etc. Swap makes the phone run so much better, but Cyanogen says "Don't use swap" with no explanation. I don't understand why this 3D gallery is installed by default when it can barely crawl along on this processor. Did they even test it on a Dream?
Man I have had nothing but problems. Now the browser won't connect to the web, but Gmail still updates. I can't install anything in the Market, it just says "Download paused". etc etc etc. I tried uninstalling so I could reinstall, but that doesn't work. So now I don't have Titanium Backup because I uninstalled it and can't reinstall it. >:[
No matter what I do and however many times I flash cm7, I seem to have erratic touchscreen behavior.
The nook is BRAND NEW (two days) and I flashed it with cm7 7.0.2 stable (after phiremod's 6.0 & 6.1) and flashed it about four times now.
I have tried it with the OC and without.
It's not the SD - it doesn't matter if it's in or not.
Not the wifi, since I didn't even set it up the third and fourth time - it was too erratic to even try.
Plugged in or not... still the same problem. Doesn't seem similar to the other forums topics about touchscreen issues WHILE charging.
Screen is near spotless... no smudges.
It is important to note, that it waits until I have done a few things to start going crazy. I restart it and it's fine, until I do some cpu intensive stuff - live wallpaper is the simplest activity that causes it.
Any ideas?
I have also tried NSR (screen re calibrator) to no avail.
Would love a quick fix rather than re-installing stock and returning it and convincing them to replace it. I am not sure if it does it with stock... didn't wait long enough to find out before flashing it.
have you tried a screen protector? my screen wasnt the best for precise touches but since i put a screen protector on and clean the screen regularly it has since changed my problems to almost non existant.

Others may be able to help you more than I can with exactly when the CM7 may be doing this, but returning to stock to find out is actually not hard at all.
In the development thread there is a post that has the 1.2 stock zips (one keeps CW in place, the other returns it completely to stock). Which ever one you pick it's still just as easy to return to stock as to reflash CM7 again. This is especially true if you used a SD card with CW to flash (which is what I do), since when you want to go back to CM7 you won't have to worry about flashing CW to emmc again.

Hate to say it but it sounds like it might turn out to be a hardware issue. This is not a CM7 issues that I've seen from anybody.
Can you describe the behavior in more detail?

It seems to start selecting things on its own after I have been using it for a while. It's difficult to describe except that there isn't really a pattern... it selects something different and keeps at it. At one point I almost purchased an app from the market before I had to power down.
I will return it to 1.2 stock and report back. I was mainly wanting to know if these was a commonly reported issue or not. I guess it's not. Thanks for the help everyone!

So my NC started to do the same thing last night. I have been running CM7 (at 7.0.2 now, but nightlies before then with dal's OC kernal) for quite a while now with no problems. Only thing I did last night was to delete about 1GB of ebooks off of my NC and reload them through Calibre.
I left it alone last night after it started doing it and then this morning it started doing crazy touches again. I was in Aldiko and it was selecting books and turning pages at random. Rebooted and it seems to be fine for now. Little odd though considering it has been running perfect for a few months.

So now I have installed nook stock 1.2 and NO PROBLEMS. I have run everything trying to get something to happen, and nothing.
Is it possible that I installed something the wrong way with cm7? Could I have used the wrong CWM version (3.0.0.6)?
Should I try cm7 7.0.2 or something else again?
I would try and return it, but I can't recreate the problem... if I could, I would be in their face right now.
Thanks for the help so far.
I think I solved it!
The newest nooks (in the last week or so) have 1.1.0 factory stock. Apparently there is a glitch that has been reported a lot recently about handling the touchscreen AND the SD card. These were fixed in the 1.2 upgrade. SO...
1. I flashed factory stock back on (in this case I went back to 1.0.1)
2. Then turned it off and "restored factory" settings using "Power+N" to turn it on. Repeated that a second time to get B&N's factory reset screen to come up.
3. Pressed N twice to accept restore prompts.
4. Upgraded to 1.2 (no glitches already by this point with touch or SD)
5. Booted CWM 3.0.0.6+
6. Formatted /system & /data
7. Flashed phiremod 6.1
8. OC'd to 1.1Ghz
...and DONE. No problems so far. I still see the "Read Forever" opening screen, but it still works wonders. WAY better than before.
I am still having issues with Wifi, but I can deal with that.
Now to attempt dalingrin's OC to 1.3!
Thanks guys... hope this helps others.
I think they call it "Touchscreen goshting". It started happening to me when I rooted the nook and the keyboard would go crazy. Now in CM7 7.0.2 with latest kernel, it happens more frequently. About 5 minutes in from boot, fast random touches occur. Most of the times this gets fixed by pressing the power button to turn the screen off (sleep), and on again. I guess it could be a hardware issue where some devices are affected. I haven't tried any recalibration apps to try to fix it yet, its kind of annoying when it happens in fast intervals.
I had weird touchscreen issues when using the interactive cpu governor. I later found only performance is supported. Using performance setting, everything works much better.

I had the same issue. I exchanged it the other night and now my new one does not have the problem. It probably a hardware issue...i hope you are still under warranty!
Hello folks.
I couldn't manage to find any other suitable title for my thread because thats it. My phone is damn slow.
I bought it on expansys month ago already and returned it because it wasn't what I expected - slow, unresponsive, wifi problems, battery problems. I got new one like a week ago and it was same "crap".
So I decide to root it and flash custom ROM - CM 12.1 for THEA. Worked like a charm for a day (or less) but okay. Yesterday I started experiencing problems. All of sudden phone restarted and when it booted up, started to boot again - bootloop I guess.
Somehow I managed to get it working. "Apps X out of Y are updating", when it finished after like 2 reboots it worked.
But later in the day "Auto Rotate" didn't work anymore (gyro out or something), people couldn't reach me, I couldn't reach them (had to call like 3 times to make it work) and its slow.
I reinstalled ROM today and wont install any application for now to see how long will it work normal.
Its strange that this is second model that I got and its still laggy. Could it be in my google account something terribly wrong? Only apps that are essential to me were installed (like 25-30), only official.
Anyone have a slightest idea of what is going on?
Thanks
the moto e 2015 is the same, very laggy device. i think alot of it is because of the memory leak 5.0.2 has. try to use xposed lollipop and the memory leak module.
Somehow I can't install Xposed (tried "xposed-sdk22-arm-xxxxxx.zip"). Therefore no modules work.
Whats the point of "Android is starting. Optimizing app x of y" ? I get this every restart...
Xposed will work on 5.0.2. If your on 5.1 search xda for the alpha xposed for lollipop 5.1. Works fine here.
Yeah found it. Installed "Lollipop Memory Leak" module. Next few days will tell if phone is worth keeping.
Anyway this question its still hot, why "Android is starting. Optimizing app x of y" pops up after restart? I get feeling something is wrong all the time.
Mine is very slow too. Pretty annoying actually. And when I watch videos on Instagram or Facebook, the sound and video is never in sync.
I put xposed with the lollipop mem leak module on my rooted xt 1072 and also gravity box and I think things like sluggishness and overall speed has improved.
Yes this phone is so slow it's painful. I got this phone because my nexus 6 is in for repair and as soon as it's back I'm returning this poor excuse for a phone. I wasn't expecting flagship performance but my god this thing is so so slow, and I get a horrible hiss when I'm make or recieve a call.
