[help]g2 always reboot when i open camera

[myhnet]

hi, I have just bought a htc g2 magic(TIM). I got a very terrible problem as the title says, it aways reboot itself when I try to use the camera.

I have tried several ROMs, but I still get this problem though other ones told me that it is ok for them.

Is it a hardware problem or software problem or other?

the following the detals of my phone(if any other information you need, please let me know):

Maybe your cam is brokken so when you try to access it you get hit with a FC,

not sure. but not crash every time. if you try it after rebooting, it is ok for a short time.

Have you tried any sense or 2.0/2.1 roms?
They have cam drivers now so give those a go.

You don't say which ROM you are using. There are quite a few Magics that have the reboot problem with the Donut 1.6 ROM, mine included. T-Mobile was replacing them. See this link:

You can flash a 1.5 ROM like I did. The camera works fine but I gave up voice directions in Google Maps and Voice Google search.

thank you. I send my phone back to my provider and let them test it.
I think it will save me a lot of time.

The only resolution is a 1.5 ROM like the one I'm using.

TIM camera reboot

sorry that i pick up so old thread but.

Does anyone found a fix for this problem?

I also have a TIM HTC Magic black with red border and another black HTC magic with silver border.

On TIM's one there is a problem with random reboots when using camera on 2.1 eclair roms (i've tried a lot of roms - random reboot when using camera on all)
With silver magic there is no problem

It looks like the problem is only on TIM magic.. maybe different hardware.

Also, as described above on 1.5 rom (I've tried CursorSense 1.2.6.1 which is cupcake) there is no problem with camera.

is there solution for 2.1 based roms ?

Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general

Same with my Rogers Magic. Only 1.5 roms are okay.

The problem is that Rogers hasn't rolled out a 1.6 or greater ROM. Once they do I can complain, but before that they'll say that I hacked it and it's my fault.
