I did google first thats why I ask is it a hard ware issue

It's not hardware for sure.
First, are you on latest Helly build?
2nd, did you try on stock or with another ROM?

Yes am on the new hellybean and I can't go to stock cause I can't get back in to recovery if I go to.stock my power bottom broke so if I went to stock I could not get back in to it useing 3 botton combo. And I had used another rom the avetaer rom sorry for spelling thats when it started it when I used that one then I switch To hellybean. Still the same thing it's wierd camera works but not cam when I try it close out on me and my power botton is remap to my home botton thanks for telling me its not hardware

That's a known problem with the totally unstable P1010. The only thing that helps temporarily is to completely reset the damned thing.
The best you can do is to return this crappy pad. The hardware is good the software is completely buggy and the Samsung support is completely clueless.
try button savior from market if you don't want to factory reset

Try this, be shure that you are using the default launcher, put the usb in KIES conection mode, connect to KIES on the PC, disconect from KIES and restar the device.
The home button should work after this. It seems to be a common problem in the P1010, a lot of people are reporting this problem, and I have suffered my self.
For a lot of people the Kies fix works, so try it before a factory reset.
After 4 weeks getting repaired I asked for my money back and got a 7510 much better thanks for the help guys

Strange problem with my Motorola milestone

Hello there. M facing a strange problem with my milestone. My camera lense is focusing automatically every 2 seconds even if my phone is kept away untouched. But camera app is not running still camera lenses move I can hear that sound n even I saw with eyes. I tried all rom still same problem. I m not using any spy can app etc still . But due to this problem some friends though m taking photos. Any one else with same problem. Any suggestions
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
Do you have Google Talk Application running?
I mean... must be Google Talk that keeps doing the focus's sound of the camera.
If your Milestone is overclocked, it means it will activate the hardware.
Though it is weird that making the Camera mechanical tuning... But not quite often.
Basically it will once MS is in booting progress.
Ok no prob I wil try uninstalling gtalk n see stil thanks

HTC desire c stuck in landscape

Hi
I'm wondering if anyone can help me out with this. I have the desire c (branded to 3 and rooted) it has worked great for awhile but recently the screen keeps going into landscape and getting stuck there (even when holding it up right) I've tried turning auto rotate off but it still happens usually a restart fixes it for awhile but then it starts again. I found a app on the market that can force it back into portrait but then I can't make some apps full screen like YouTube. I've tried a factory reset a few times both through settings and by pushing power and volume up but not long after it starts happening again.
Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
Thanks.
Sent from my HTC Desire C using xda app-developers app
Maybe you should backup your current rom, and then install a custom one maybe some files relating to the sensors could be corrupt.
Thanks i may try using a generic rom to see if it fixes it. What's the best way to back up my current rom? Gonna need to go back to it if I have to sent it off to get fixed.

Well I tried nameless Rom but it didn't fix it so looks like I'm gonna have to send my phone off for repair

Try calibrating your sensors.
Sent from my Texus 4 toaster
Thanks I tried that but no luck the odd thing is the sensor seems to work cause I can play that game where you control the ball with the sensor. But its started doing other stuff now like it keeps turning the screen on on its own and putting phone on loud speaker and pausing music etc.

Weird... The game works, but the accelorometer doesn't work at other places
Sent from my Texus 4 toaster
My wife's Desire C has the same problem. Stuck in landscape most of the time. Screen turning on, phonecalls sometimes suddently go to speaker. Sensors are working fine if you ask me.
I was trying to root it when I read this topic, I still might try a custom rom though.
Glad I'm not the only one who had this problem. Maybe there's a fault with some of the handsets or something.
I gave up and sent mine off for repair now.

Heyyy!!! Did u find any solution for your problem. My phone is also starting to behave in the same way....
I think I found the solution. It seems like the problem is with HTC's ROM based on ICS 4.0 and 4.0.4. I tried just about any ROM based on ICS (stock and custom) with any kernel combination and the problem repeats itself.
Flashed CM 10.1 and the problem is gone.

[REQ] Solution for voip upside down front camera

Hello
Can any of you good devs provide a fix for the upside down front camera on voip apps? In the past it was working correctly for me but at some point it turned upside down (i think it was a kernel change OR a skype update). Since then i have trid the following WITHOUT any luck:
-Horizontal calibration
-Enabling screen orientation and trying in landscape mode
-an older version of Skype app
-Different Kernels (3.0 and 3.4)
-Different ROMs (CM9, CM10 and CM10.1) format everything from system to sd-ext in between
front camera is still upside down! i am at a loss here...please help!
ps : In the camera app front cam works just fine

please try reading before posting a reply, i 've already stated on my op that i have tried all these things without any success. I have also searched the whole xda forums and tried numerous other ideas to no avail.
this thread is a request for a fix that doesn't exist not a question, however if you guys feel it's spam you can always report it and let a mod decide.

Exact same thing here, all CM10 ROMs are having this issue.
I have it in GoogleTalk, so a pretty built in application.
Tried these steps, still upside down front camera. Calibration does not show any indication, just sais lay on plane surface, push button. Shouldnt there appear a orientation point in the cross?
I only know that problem from older Windows programs, with the webcam.
There are two ways to fix this problem.
1. Fix it in system
2. Fix it in the app
First of all, the camera needs to run at all, so guess there is many work done, that the camera is running at all.
Then, it may depend on the devs way to fix things, normaly it should be fixed EVERYTHING in system, because fixing every app that might be installed, no way
So there must be some reason, that the devs choosed to let the upside down in VoIP apps be there, because the rest works, in camera apps orientation is fine. Maybe they just dont got the right line, to just change VoIP apps orientation.
So, maybe this will last for a long time though, till Samsung releases new drivers for 4.1.x haha Till then, devs must use what they got, guess they have the best working things found already...

thank you XeLLaR. i doubt it's ROM related though. As stated in OP since i first noticed this i have tried arco's CM9, ivedor's CM10(beta 1-2-3) and xistance's CM10.1. I have also tried with stock kernel,phenomkernel,nexus kernel both 3.0 and 3.4 branches. I did a full wipe between installations
the problem still exists!!!
