Froyo Killed Droid Incredible's Camcorder

[DroidZero]

Am I missing something here? I updated my Droid to Froyo earlier today and the camcorder doesnt work. I have tried switching from the camera, launching the app, and even switching to video mode while viewing recorded videos, but everytime it gets lauched it closes it self in about a second. And fyi the update went smoothly, and I dont have any apps other than the factory default ones. And yes the camcorder worked perfectly fine pre-Froyo.

you can try and go into your settings and then go to manage apps and then go to the tab that says all (indicating all apps that are on the phone). once there wait a second for all the apps to load and then find the app that says camera and press on that. Once there go to clear data and then exit to your home screen and then try it again. This is something that has worked for me when i have had that problem.

Thanks for the reply, however the problem is still there. Cleared the data but the camcorder still closes itself.

Have u tried just restarting the device?

[DroidZero]

Yes i did a reset, a couple of times infact

Am I the only one with this problem?

No your not the only one. I have the same problem. My camcorder doesn't work at all but mine doesn't close it just slows down my phone incredibly and kills my full battery in about 15min. If I try to charge it my battery gets super hot because it is killing the batter as fast as its charging it. Can only restart the phone. Killing the app doesn't work. As long as I don't open the camcorder the phone is fine. Also did a factory reset and no fix. Verizon is sending me a new one but its labor day weekend so I guess ill have to wait even longer. as if I didn't wait long enough for this update!

Unfortunately I just had this same issue. The camcorder was just working the night before & then voila the very next evening it stopped. Mine would come up as if it was going to work & when you hit the button to record everything on the screen disappeared except the picture. I killed the app but it was still in the background doing something, which then affected my gmail sync. Man that puppy ran hot too!! AT the end of it all I had to do a factory wipe unfortunately, which solved the issue. I ended up spending $5 on mybackup Pro before the wipe & did a backup. which restored pretty much everything, but not perfectly though............. All in all I havent been very impressed with Froyo to this point......

Mine did this to me saturday. Its a moto droid though. I did a restart and it seemed to clear the problem up for now.

I have an HTC Droid incredible, so I'm thinking its not a Motorola thing. Maybe froyo related? as it never did it on 2.1.
