Camera disabled below 15% battery

So with the perfect phone it's hard to find something to b!t¢# about, but here's one.

I'm TIRED of not being able to use my camera when the battery is below 15%. This is so dumb. Maybe 5% would make sense. There HAS to be a way around this, right? C'mon devs! Help a brotha out!

They found a little workaround for this issue on the Omnia here

You're right, that's what I use as a workaround right now, but......

the workaround isn't great if I want to take video, or just a standard photo without all types of effects, or if I'm in another app (Facebook, pix messaging, etc..) and it wants to launch the camera....

What Rom are you running? I believe some of the kernals have this fix in them. I believe the midnight rom has this fix in it.

heheh I'm on Midnight rom 5 and honestly I haven't tested it as I just flashed...

I noticed wifi tether 3 pre 10 in your sig, do you like that one more than 11?

Just tested, stock camera closes when battery dips below 15% on midnight 5

Yes I do. I tried version 11 and it crashes my cell phone more often than version 10. I am still trying to figure out which version is the most stable for the samsung epic. But I know version 11 is not stable for me.

There was a modification for the EB13 modem and kernal I don't know if it is compabile with the new kernal. My phone is perfect now and I don't feel like being a guinea pig right now. Plus I can't not find where I put it. I am going to check my desktop computer for it.

I hate that as well. Also I don't like how the camera will not start while on a phone call...sometimes you just have to take a photo and it can't wait!
