Hi,
When I press the Camera button on my XDAIIs it tries to launch Media Player instead of the camera.
If I open the Camera application from within the programs folder I get the following error...
Failed to initialize camera.
Please reset the hardware.

Does anyone have a fix for this?
Many thanks
same here
Ive been getting this too. It has also coincided with the battery monitor showing battery life being drained at a very fast rate.
It first happend when I had about 18% on main battery, my girlfriend fell and snapped her clavical requiring me to call an ambulance. Pulled the XDA2i from my pocket powering it up I pressed the camera button. The screen went all funny and it killed itself (full reboot from scratch required). Got another person to call the ambulance.
Since then it crashed with the error you report, and the battery meter went screwy. SO then I re booted in corporate mode. Fine for a while but then the camera screwed up again. SO another full re boot.
Getting fed up I did think about returning it as faulty. Not had time so this time I copied the shortcut from the windows folder in to the start menu allowing me to re asign the button on the side.
I am currently watching it to see if the battery meter is playing up too. Bit of a problem as I have just started using TT5 incar so it goes on and off charge a lot along with a bluetooth headset bought on a few days ago.
Ill watch this and hope for more input
confirmation
OK lastnight the XDA2i went flat and wouldn't powerup. I left it around 11pm with 65% on the main battery 100% on the back up. I had to put it on charge for 5mins at 7am this morning before it would power up!!! It then read 12% on the main battery, backup at 100%
The unit is standard, out of the box standard. Running it in corporate mode, only program loaded is TT5. Proccessor set to turbo.
Normaly I would get a couple of days before charge (minimal usage)
Fitted with an www.integralmemory.com 1gb sd high speed card.
In the time it took me to write this the main battery dropped by 2%

I think I found a possible reason for the Captivate random shut down problems.
It seems to me that the battery might be the culprit. My phone starts random shutdowns once my battery reaches below the ~70% mark. When fully charged, or when charge is over 70% it is generally sticking up. I am expecting a new battery (from the warranty dept) on Monday, and will post if I am still seeing random shutdowns.
It might be a good place to start with to see when ur phone is shutting down. Is it like fully charged, or when charge is below a certain point.
I put in Cognition 2.4.1 ROM last night, and ensured my battery is over 80% all the time. My phone current up-time is 15:11:52 as I am typing this.
I hope this helps.
Mine shut down on me 3 times within an hour of taking it off the charger with a full charge yesterday morning, hasn't done it since. That's about 36 hours and another overnight charge. The day before it shut down twice eight after taking it off the charger, the second time it wouldn't start back up. I had to restore with cwm so it would seem to be random.

Had the same problem
I had the same problem with my phone randomly shutting down. I re-flashed it and it worked fine, download all my apps again and it started doing it again. So re-flashed a second time and put the apps on one by one with no problems. After I installed Memory Booster it started shutting down again. The app kept killing a system utility and that caused the phone to shutdown on its own. Removed the app and installed the rest and haven't had any trouble since. Hope this helps.

What app is this, may I ask?
I am thinking of taking off the task manager in 2.2. I think this app is trying to clear out memory at intervals. When I rooted i9000 rom I saw a samsung utility that let me choose the mode of cleanup - normal or aggressive. I have a feeling this has something to do with memory clean up software possibly built-in into the 2.2.
Update:
The issue doesn't seem to be in the battery. I charged it full to 100%, and started a video playback. It went on for like about 4.5 hours, and then when battery reached 15% it came out saying low battery. Since then I have put it in 100% brightness and screen timeout to 10 mins, n moving the screen every once in a while to not let it go to sleep. Didn't die on me once during this process.
I will let it drain all the way down, and then charge fully n see if battery faulty calibration is causing these random shutdowns.
* fingers crossed * hoping this would let me out of these random shutdowns.
There is already an existing thread about random shutdowns, and the possible culprits have been discussed quite a bit. If you need a link I'll gladly supply it.

After updating to 2.3.3 using COS-DS, my phone seemed to work fine. I initially had a battery drain with nothing taking up large battery usage, so I reset the battery stats and all was well.
However, after unplugging my phone from charging all night (100% upon unplug), I checked my phone two hours later and saw that my charge was down to 22%. Upon checking Battery Usage, I found that Android OS is using 76%! The only thing I've done today was answer a couple SMS messages. I don't have Sync, GPS, or Wifi on, but I do have Mobiledata and 3G+2G on, as well as Background Data. The only widget I have is Google Voice, which I've removed to no avail. I've tried rebooting (twice), but it stays the same. I've turned off data, gone to 2G-only, and turned off background data, and it still continues. In Spare Parts, under Battery history it says that the only thing using up the battery is Suspend in CPU, and Battery Status says that the battery's health is good. Something really strange is that after the initial power-off upon the discovery of this issue, I immediately plugged it into the charger. After about 3 minutes I turned it back on, and found that it's already charged back up to 86%. WHAT.
Also, I haven't plugged it into the computer once in the last few days, so it's not USB-bug related. Any ideas on what's going on here?
EDIT: Ok, it's been a couple hours since this began, but just now I checked the phone (it was on the charger) and suddenly EVERYTHING is gone from the Battery Usage page, save for Display and Android OS, and Android OS is back down to 5% now. Really bloody weird, but the issue seems to have resolved itself.
I've had similar issues. When my battery runs flat, dead. I plug it up and switched it on, and it shown "Charging (32%)". I get different but similar results with different ROMs. It could simply mean the battery is wasted couldn't it?
Have you gone into the Recovery mode and wipe the Battery Status? I was having similiar issue (but not a fast drain), I did maybe about 5 wiped and reboot the phone. My problem seem to go away.
I went from 1 day or less from 100% to having to recharge, to 2 and 1/2 days then charge.
The issue came back later that night, and has been happening ever since.
I've done the bump charge + stats wipe, where I let it charge to 100%, shutdown until green LED, wipe stats, restart, let drain to 0, restart and use. I've tried this about 3 or 4 times, and the issue persists. I've removed my 2 widgets (two sound effects widgets), and it persists.
Also, I've downloaded OS Monitor, and it shows the CPU to be resting at its min, 246.
I'm hoping it's just the battery at this point, and have already ordered another one. I'll let you guys know if that fixes it.
In that case it might be your battery that need to be replace. How old is the battery?
I really have no idea. I bought this G1 used on eBay 9 months ago.
2 things to note:
1. It actually stopped booting last night even while on the charger: I restarted, and it kept getting stuck on the splash image. So I superwiped, reflashed, and the drain is still there even with no user-installed apps.
2. About a month ago, (when I was back on a stable Froyo, which I had been on since I got the phone 9 months ago) it started to randomly shut off. It seemed like if it got just a little too hot (battery got to maybe 30 C, never was able to check what the temp was when this happened), it would shut down and wouldn't get past the boot screen without a reset. I had to either charge it or wait an hour for it to successfully boot again.
In retrospect, this is sounding more and more like the battery. The only thing that's strange is that Android OS takes up such high percentage. Oh well, hopefully the new battery gets here today or tomorrow, hopefully that fixes everything.
Since you have brought the G1 9 months ago, more than likely it's had been over two year or more (about the same age as mine more or less). I doubt that the seller would be giving you a brand new battery.
I noticed the reboot on mine G1 too. Ever so often, my G1 will reboot on me. But I do not have the problem getting stuck at the splash or boot screen. But then I am using the SuperAosp ROM not Froyo.
Let me know how the new battery will work out, I might have to end up getting it myself. Eventhough my battery life got better after I did the wipe battery status, sometime it still drain depending on the day I guess.
I noticed the same result with COSDS.
I moved to Ginger Yoshi with much better results.
Better, but not as good as stock, obviously.
COSDS turned into a real hog on me by the time the second or third reboot happened.
Heeter
I'll stay with SuperAosp, I take the performance over the battery life any day. My battery status an't that bad. Once in the while I used it up in a day or less, other I can stick around for a few days.
The rebooting part was not too bad on my end. Just once in a while. Nothing I can't handle.
@ psychosonic - You might want to try that if you want, Gingerbread Yoshi was one of my first choice before I found what I had.
Alright, got my battery. After calibrating it for one day, then using it today post-calibration, it's functioning phenomenally. After using wifi + internet for a period of time, and sms throughout the day, it's still at 70% 6 hours after charge. Essentially, the only thing that drains the battery is heavy internet use, which seems to make it go down 1% per 2 or 3 minutes.
Internet usage seem to take a lot out of the battery for sure. I know mine take a lot more than 1% every 2 or 3 mins when I use my internet.
Let see how will the new battery pan out. See if it will last you 2 or more days. Keep using it as such, and see where it goes.
Android OS Battery bug
Hi!
1. Install SystemPanelLite Task Manager from the market.
2. Run SystemPanel and open settings and check the "System processes" option. Close settings.
3. Scroll down in the process list until you find the process "android.process.media". If you have a CPU usage of more then 10-30s and the process usage gauge to the left moves up and down you probably have the Android OS battery bug.
At this point you can try the following;
- Shut down your phone. (Not just turn it of. The complete shut-down-power-off-thingy)
- Remove your external SD card.
- Start up your phone again.
- When the scan media is complete, do step 3 above again. If you don't see the problem at step 3 your SD card has a corrupt filesystem. And needs to be reformated. Follow these steps;
- Backup your data first!!!
- Settings -> SD card & phone storage
- Unmount SD card
- Format SD card
- Restore files from your backup.
If the problem persists your internal SD card might have a corrupt filesystem and needs to be reformated. Follow these steps;
- Backup your data first!!!
- Settings -> SD card & phone storage
- Format internal storage
- Restore files from your backup.
More details; What happens when you have a corrupt filesystem is that android.process.media tries to read a file but fails over and over again. The filesystem might not look corrupt to you. And you can read and write files on the SD card without problems. But at some point the android.process.media failes to read the files and loops like crazy, draining your battery.
I had a corrupt filesystem (FAT32) on my external SD card. I also had Android OS battery usage of 60-70% and a fast draining battery. I hope this can help others.

Hi there
I got my Z1 last friday.
I played with it with a prepaid sim (new provider testing ) up until monday's night (had my nexus 4 coming along still).
I quickly updated to the newest firmware and then learned that it can't be (easily) rooted (but that is another story).
I had it with a manually set wakelock and constantly pinging google the whole monday, and battery rocked like a beast, temperature and cpu were fine.
When i got back home, i formated an old sdcard (not that old really, it's a 16gb class10 card i got from UK), dropped my 4.6gb of music, titanium backup folder (hey, i hope root comes eventually ) and my helium backup folder (somehow my nexus 4 with 4.3 made folders instead of individual files and helium on the z1 does not pick them up...)
I left my phone, that had 12 hours of NOT deepsleeping, pluged into my pc's usb for charging (SD Card inside too).
Today i noticed that it had charged almost.. nothing
Then on my trip, with it using the postpaid sim card, with my current plan, and different provider, i noticed it was kinda hot, and battery was draining rapidly.
I downloaded "OS Monitor" and saw a process taking up 30% of cpu time/power. "memory", was the process.
I rebooted, and same thing, but this time "DRM Protected content storage".
Another reboot, and same thing, with "downloads".
Most of the time when i open OS Monitor it displays the package name (it includes "media" in it), and then turns to one of the others i mentioned.
CPU Spy plus says my cpu stays at 2100 or so mhz.
I am not sure what to do now
I left it off and charing.
I failed to mention that i had installed dropbox, box, press, pocketcasts and maybe some other app that i am forgetting, that i did not have the initial monday.
Now i turned it on again and the process killing me is:
Download Manager
Process: android.process.media
Status: sleep
Cpu spy plus: 50% 2150, and a little on 2 lower (but not 300 or deepsleep).
Phone is hot, usb connected, and i am not sure if keeping charge or dropping.
Will try removing the sd
Removing SD Card did nothing.
Just noticed that in the running apps, under "media" i have 1 process and 2 services.
The process i also named Media and it is using a wooping 600MB
DeviceStorageService and MediaScannerService are running.
---
Now that i remember, i had the SD Card with music and titanium backup in my phone from day one (i even listened to music in my car using Bluetooth).
What changed was that i tried copying the Carbon folder, and it dissapeared after restarting, twice. Then i tried on PC, same stuff.
I fully formated my SD card and added all the files again, this time it remained there.
ps: i have windows 8.1 at home
I just noticed that i now have way less free space on my internal storage, and there is an app called "media storage" that is using 2.63 GB
And if i am not crazy, it is slowly going up.
I Think something got terribly borked here
EDIT: ok, thought i was crazy, cause when i started typing this i thought it said 2.53gb. But i was not, by the time i finished writing it was on 2.9 gb!!
EDIT2: i wiped data on that and now everything MIGHT be ok
I now rebooted and that "app" is using 2.69MB (not gb this time) and in the processes tab, only 9mb (not 600).
No overheating or hi cpu usage.
Dunno what might have triggered this, nor know what this "app" is for.
Seriously, factory reset that phone. Some software malfunction going on. Also, backup that sd card to your computer and wipe it.
Start from scratch basically

Ya, i will most surelly do that and install that deodexed rooted rom that's the latest version...
I want root, and want to be up to date
SD Card is fine now, fully formated (not quick).
Everything worked fine after wiping that "apps's" data.
Now i noticed that i CANT DELETE files from my sdcard from my phone...
And i no longer haver another one to test
Out to get a new one before wiping the hell out of my phonE ?
I've just run into something interesting...last few weeks, my Note (4.1.2 stock, Philz kernal, rooted) has been having some issues
with battery life.
It hasn't been lasting the day, even with a new battery, battery stats didn't show anything unusual. At times, the back would get
hot and I'd pull the battery, reboot and it might be ok the rest of the day, or it might do it again.
This weekend I started to notice that if I accessed a couple specific programs, that I have moved to the EXTERNAL SD card, that
is when it would act up. Moved those programs back to the internal SD, problem disappeared.
I took the microSD card out, put it in an SD adapter, plugged into my computer and it was having a very hard time reading it.
I bought a new microSD, same size (16gb), copied everything from my backup of the card, over to the new one and installed it
in the Note, and I've not had one issue and the battery appears to be holding up A LOT better.
Now, this card originally came from my Dell Streak when I used it, so it is going on 4-5 years old, has had a lot of stuff copied
and removed.
To the microSD or NAND experts, could it be a failing card even this early? Things act up, but I would think the card would last
a bit longer than 4-5 years?
