The "X" allows you to kill an app. I'd go into settings and clear the cache for the camera app and then reboot the phone. Hopefully that will help.

 

Yes you can try that. Maybe before you do that, just reboot the phone to see of that corrects the issue.

 

On my HTC I found that was related to having geotagging turned on.

It seemed to get the camera and the gallery constantly calling for location services and it was that combo causing the power loss for me.

On mine, Camera, settings, Camera Options, Geo-Tag, uncheck. Probably similar on yours.

 

After you exit, bring up your task list and swipe it away I guess.

 

You mean the app switcher? Swiping an app out of there doesn't do anything other than remove it from that list, it doesn't close the app.

 

Sorry, it does on my HTC, guess yours is different. :dontknow:

Because HTC is expecting you to want it parked in memory for fast reentry. And if you don't go there, Android kills them.

Lot of apps are like that and harmless, the problem is when they don't behave and keep actually running. Then Android leaves them alone.

When that happens, you need a work around to put them down.

Hence my suggestion.

So, does the DNA have the HTC Task Manager app? That would be my second suggestion.

The only source of the problem I've encountered worked for you for a few days. That was permanent for me, so I'm out of ideas for yours.

You don't have any pending uploads to Dropbox or something do you?

Some other indirect linkage would be the cause, just as geotagging was, so all I can do is give you another direction to guess in.

 

Yeah, please let me know, I'm really curious.

What's up with that??

Dumb question - do we know if your settings are sticking?

Could geotagging be back on, saying it's not, so when you change another setting, it gets back in line?

What if you go in 4:3 and then after that go back to widescreen?
