Droid X reboots spontaneously, camera issues, etc

For about the last month or so, I have major issues with my Droid X, which I have had since May. My camera will freeze while taking pictures or opening the app, my phone will spontaneously reboot during phone calls, web browsing, or listening to music. I've had more dropped calls within the last month than my entire 5 years with Verizon.
The phone is not rooted and I have Lookout Mobile for my virus protection. It was updated to the official Gingerbread. I am at my wits end with this phone. Any suggestions?
P.S. I received this phone as a replacement for my Droid Incredible from the insurance company. It's always had problems, but nothing like recently, I am just not a big complainer.

Not saying this is the source of your problems at all, but you don't need Lookout Mobile. Virus scanners and apps of that sort do nothing, and only cause excessive battery drain and, at times, problems.
Now on to your phone issues. How many apps do you have on it? Have you ever gone in to see which apps run the most, and try force closing them if you're not using them? That might help - sometimes there's just too much stuff going on at once and it bogs the phone down.
Have you noticed that you've had worse reception with the X than you did with the Incredible? That's really the only thing I can think of that would account for dropped calls. It could also be on the other person's end as well.

Motorola Droid Razr M Video Camera Issues

I have been having some major issues when using my video camera. If I record anything over 1 minute it locks my phone into the program, continues recording (even thought I've pressed stop), and doesn't save my video (come back as corrupt when I go to play it). In order to get out of the program, I have to restart my phone (which is where the corruption happens, i'm sure). Anybody else having this issue? Verizon, how can we fix this? I'm missing lots of great opportunities of capturing memories.

Hello Debb.boggs713
I'm very sorry your having issues with taking videos. I appreciate the communities advice. Do you have any third party apps that could effect the video? Please power the device in safe mode and retest. Here's how: http://bit.ly/QYIRjG Have you tried lowering the resolution and taking a video?
Please let us know. So we can get this addressed.

Only saving what I edit camera issues

I have edited a few home movies and have taken then down from like 2 hours to about an hour, alot was bad shooting, camera issues, etc.
I notice the project size has not changed and have even dragged some of the clips out of imovie and see it really never deletes anything, what is the fasted way to have a new project with just what I want in the timeline?
Do I have to export it to a full dv file and then reimport to imovie?
Message was edited by: rwltrz4

iMovie 6 uses nondestructive editing. That means that if you use only 4 seconds of a 20 minute clip, iMovie saves the entire clip in its project files, even though you put only the 4 seconds into your timeline. Deleting the trash or dragging some clips out of iMovie does not change iMovie's files.
If you are certain that you will not need the rest of the clips again in this movie, yes, you can export it as quicktime, full quality and then reimport that quicktime movie into a new iMovie, and it will contain only the clips that were in your timeline, so its size will be smaller. Any edits you made will be incorporated and the movie will be created as one long clip, without separate audio tracks for any audio you added. You can still edit, but it is a bit trickier. If you have only cropped the clips and have not added titles, effects or audio, you can still do that by splitting the clips where you want the titles, effects and transitions. You can add audio wherever you wish, just be sure to lock the audio clip in position so that it remains with the correct video.
If you are going to be making a DVD of your movie using iDVD, the movie's size is not a factor, only its length in time. For single-layer DVDs, the maximum time for its contents is two hours, and double that for the dual-layer DVDs.

DROID 3 - CAMERA ISSUES

Droid 3 Camera issues I am running into:
- - First - If I can start the camera without it causing the phone to crash.... (how do you disable the "Droid" sound on reboot - getting VERY annoying)
- - I have to use a task killer to keep the camera from burning up the battery after using it. - WHY????
- - I bought my phone to keep in touch via skype with my son @ college - but now learn that the droid 3, with it's front facing camera DOES NOT WORK - (not on the Verizon-specific Skype - what a lame app), but using the real Skype app... on a video chat, the Droid gives a black screen, not my image. ???   From what I see online, same response from other video chat tools.   This was one of the biggest selling points for me!!! Am more than mildly annoyed at this one.
Previous phone was a Droid 2 - with none of these problems.... appears that the Droid3 was released before testing and fixing issues.
PLEASE ADDRESS THIS!!!

Try Settings / Applications / Manage Applications / All Tab / Camera / Clear Data to resolve camera issue.... To disable startup sound try disabling Settings / Sounds / SD Mount or something along this.

I understand where you coming from but I would use System Panel instead of a task killer, a number of users helped me see the light of not using a task killer.

That strange because the Droid 3 is supported on Skype's site.

Has anyone been having problems with camera, safari etc. crashing on iOS 5.0.1 because I have been having the problem as well as my brother I have the iPhone 4. If anyone else having same issue comment below

Then the next step would be a restore as new to rule out corruption in the backup.

Droid Incredible reboot itself now full of errors!!

Hey all,My Droid Incredible rebooted itself yesterday. Now all apps force close and my bookmarks are all gone. I've tried the hard reset etc and its still doing it !! Has this happened to anyone else? There was an update a couple days ago so im guessing it that update causing all the problems.

Check this link :http://community.vzw.com/t5/DROID-Incredible-by-HTC/The-not-so-INCREDIBLE-HTC-Incredible-Reboot-Issue/td-p/191740
I have also had continuous reboot problems, removing the battery stops them, but then many of my apps get a force close message.

MacBook Air 2013 with Mavericks 10.9.1 has Facetime HD Camera issues

Hi, I've been using a new 2013 MacBook Air with 10.9.1 for the last 3 weeks (I used to have a 2010 Macbook Pro 15 with Mavericks) and the Facetime HD camera is having issues being detected by different applications.
In my case I mainly use Google Hangouts, Skype, and sometimes Facetime. The problem lies on that the camera sometimes works and sometimes it doesn't.
I usually reboot the camera with 'sudo killall AppleCameraAssistant' and that makes it work, but it shouldn't be like that.
Please note that this was not happening with my 2010 MacBook Pro with Mavericks. I changed to this new 2013 MacBook Air only 3 weeks ago. Nevertheless, people that I work with (who use retina macbooks with Mavericks) are not having this issue.
Last week I had to install a plugin (in chrome) for a new online site similar to Hangouts called BlueJeans. Bluejeans very seldomly recognizes the cam, only when I reboot it with the 'line' above or reboot the machine. The people I work with didn't have any issues, so I suspect this has to do with 2013 MacBook Air's Facetime HD cameras which might be different to the rest, or too new on the market.
It's as if when I start using it in Hangouts and then hang, later it might not work in Skype, or viceversa.
If you can help, that'll be great, and I appreciate it. Nevertheless, I feel Apple must take care of this in the next Mavericks update (many people are having camera issues).

Hi Jal1980
I had the same pb...
On my MacBook Pro Mid 2012 I Had a problem with my video on skype, facetime, photoboot....
I have tried all the solution offered in every forum and never got to a satisfying result. I downgraded to mountain lion from mavericK without result. I reseted the Pram or SMC (I forgot), and other things, I played with the plugin /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/, I tried several version of skype.... NONE of this solution worked....
Until that day a friend came to my place and installed AppleJack for Mac, a free software (http://download.cnet.com/AppleJack/3000-2094_4-40293.html) that totally solved this issue amongst others...
Here is the full page of the program http://applejack.sourceforge.net/man.html
And here quick instructions on how to use the program. Have fun!
Restart your computer. After you hear the startup chime, press and hold down the
Cmd and s keys together (this will put you in single user mode). You should soon get a Terminal-type screen with a dramatic garble of indecipherable messages and a shell prompt that looks something like [root#]
2. Now, type applejack at the prompt. (If you’ve installed applejack manually, or have not created an alias to applejack for the root user, you may have to enter the full path to the script at the prompt.) You will be guided through a series of steps that will repair your drive and delete possibly corrupted files. Options are selected by typing the number corresponding to the task you want to perform, and then hitting the return key. For example, when you see a few different options, like this:
[1] Option One [2] Do something else [3] Another task [4] A useful task
From time to time, in interactive mode, you will be asked to answer yes or no to a question. To answer yes, type y and hit the return key. To answer no, type n and hit the return key.
An advantage of using the interactive mode instead of auto mode is that you are given options for also cleaning out user-level caches and preference files. If you would like to clean out your main admin user caches, for example, you will need to use interactive mode.
3. Auto mode: If you want to leave
applejack to do it’s own thing, just choose option [a] when the script starts. You can also start right up in auto mode by typing: applejack auto at the prompt. applejack will run through all the basic cleanup tasks in order. Alternatively, you can also type applejack auto restart which will tell applejack to do the cleanup tasks and then automatically restart your computer. Other options are: applejack auto shutdown which tells AppleJack to shut down the computer after running its tasks, or applejack AUTO shutdown which tells AppleJack to run automatically in "deep cleaning" mode (see above) and then shut down.
I hope this helps. It completely solved my issue.

S205 Camera issue

Have a S205 (win 7) a couple of days, but can't get the webcam to work.
None of the software like Youcam/Skype/Lenovo Veriface etc finds the camera.
I can enable/disable the camera using Fn/Esc and when I do so, it appears/disappears as it should under "device manager".
There are no applications running in task manager.
There is another forum user, having camera issues too, but the problem there seems to be "unknown harware".
My hardware seems fine in control panel, and shows "Lenovo Easycam" as working fine.
Any ideas ?
Solved!

test your camera first.

Whoops I guess that path didn't come out correctly I cut and paste the local

Hi Bighatz1
Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
For the camera issue, could you please go into Settings > Apps > scroll across to All > scroll down to Camera > tap Camera > tap Clear data - then test the camera again to see if this has helped.
In regards to the slowness of the operating system, this could be because there is a lot of data on the device, you could try deleting any apps, photos, videos etc. that you don't need anymore to see if it runs any faster than before.

WRT400N reboots spontaneously

I will be working online on my laptop and the router seems to reboot spontaneously. I am running Windows 7 on my desktop and have never had this problem with my WRT54G. There is no other firmware available for this router and this is the second one I have had. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Having a similar problem but when I start up games that get a list of game servers such as Quake, Unreal, etc. Once my machine queries the master server it reboots the WRT400 EVERY time. This seems to be an unresolved bug that needs to be fixed...

X10 reboots spontaneously.

Sinds a week a have a x10. It all works fine (not that smooth as a Iphone5 or Gallaxy3) only got one minor problem. It sometimes reboots spontaneously, even when it does nothing.

I just witnessed the same thing happen to my Z10. It is sitting on the desk in front of me, charging on the AC adapter. I saw the LED go solid red, so I picked it up and it was rebooting. Bizarre.
I had something similar happen to another Z10 last week. In that case the Z10 was intentionally turned off and was charging. It turned itself on, again without any intervention whatsoever.
Anyone have any similar issues?

Hi,
Finally I made an update. I used download files from Adobe update pages (the same websites that were offline for few days), I couldn't do it automatically from PS CS5 application. Last problem is Adobe Extension update, can't do it automatically and manually becouse there are no update files for Adobe Extension CS5 for Windows (only for Mac). Most important is that my Camera Raw can open files from my cameras now. Thank You for your help.
Hey abdzi could you give a short explanation were you found which download files?? I have the same problem and realy need the Camera Raw update. Please!! Thank you

What do I need to do to open Office 2004 (word AND excel) documents? PowerPC issues etc. They don't open on iWork '08. Happy to upgrade to iWork or Office just to be able to access my docs from Office 2004 again - please can someone advise? Cheers.

Hi - thanks for this info. Actually I have downloaded a 30-day trial of MS Office for Mac 2011 and it reads/writes. But I was expecting that if I saved it again, either as xls oe xlsx, then I would be able to open the newly-saved document in iWorks '08. This is not the case, any ideas why? cheers, Matt.

Retina MBP Camera Issue?

I purchased a 13" Macbook Pro with Retina Display around Christmas time in 2012, and right when I opened it up I noticed the camera was pretty bad. I searched online and found that others were having similar issues or it could've just been the lighting. Early January or a little after Christmas (I don't remember exactly when) I took my computer to the apple store in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania and they told me it was "just fine." They looked at the camera and compared it to others in the store and said it was okay. This summer, a family member of mine purchased the 2013 13" Macbook Air and I noticed that the camera quality was very good and clear, especially compared to mine. The camera is slow to respond to movement, and has a low frame rate. The picture also just looks pretty bad and pixelated. Also, when I skype with a friend of mine I notice her camera quality looks much better than mine, and she is on a 2010 Macbook Pro. I paid around $1700 for this computer so I should be getting one that works perfectly fine. Is there anything I can do to fix the camera issue or is there any chance of getting it replaced by Apple? What makes me angry is the fact that the Apple Store told me it was fine when it clearly isn't.

Go to another apple store. Also tell them, if it looks fine in the store, take it into a darker room. These camera's have differen't ISO's and yours could be "fine" in the clear day light but may not be when it's sensor doesn't have enough light. This can be due to a number of factors. But they have to fix it because it's under a year old. You just got to find a way to prove it.
You need to find the situation where it looks at it's worse and see how the lighting is and show them that. If you hold shift command and 3 at the same time it'll take a screen shot of your camera. That makes a picture of it which you can show also.
There are different camera's in different year's models also though. For example, my thunderbolt display camera is much better than the camera on my MacBook pro, they are both from 2012.
