Camera Problems

runt · #1 (**permalink**) 06-19-2007, 11:09 AM

Ok,
I used the camera on my apache last week while i was in mississippi and it worked great. This week there is a carnival in town and i went to take pics of my fiance's daughter on some of the rides, and there is a random 1-10 second delay. This is the second refurbished apache i've gotten from sprint through TEP. Now looking at it, I can't click the sync softkey in active sync since it isn't there..............

Is it possible that the processor in the phone is not running at its full speed? A couple times it has taken close to 5 minutes to boot from either a soft reset or a cold boot, and this is a huge problem for me.

I am running Colonel's final 3.5 ROM. I'm sure if I goto my local sprint store i will be offered another refurb apache or a 700wx. Can I request a new apache? or should i just take a 700wx?

YOu should definately go with requesting a new Apache over 700wx. I mean for one thing, Wi-Fi capabilities are a must for me and the 6700 has that while the 700wx doesn't. And as you can see on these forums, a lot more work is being done on the Apache while not so much on the 700wx.

the tech said that handyswitcher could be causing the problem, and that "its a computer, any issues can be taken care of with a soft reset". i asked the guy at the counter if a soft reset should take 5-10 minutes when it never did before.........

Time for a hard reset.. That will let you know if its a hardware issue, or some software is causing the problem. Back up all of your data first...

i did a hard reset back to the official rom, still did it for me, but not for the tech. if he even looked at it...........

Did you try it before you installed any other apps? If so, I would ask for a supervisor and get your phone replaced.
