None of the cameras work

The back camera doesn't work, so the front definitely doesn't, also starting a thread just to ask this rather than asking in one of the half a dozen threads about CM7 was more than a bit unnecessary. Just saying.

Oh, I actually read that the normal camera works, but it shows a white screen. Thanks for the info.

is something wrong with my flashlight???

I just notice that one of the less is not working at all.!!!! I use the flashlight a few times, but no more than 30 seconds each time. The last kernel that I was using is the nertachy 4.1.9
I was using stock froyo btw. I install cm6 again just to se if thatcorrect the problem, but I have the same result. Any suggestions? Thanks
I think you might have a led out. I think i remember seeing on the teardown of the phone that they are wired together. Hence no way to run only one.
Did you try taking a picture and see if both are working?
yes
Yes I did take pictures to test it. And only one led flash. The problem is that I don't have endurance.!!! I only have with the phone like 3 months. Any ideas????

You don't have endurance? I'm sorry for your girlfriend.
Maybe you should have bought penis insurance.

Camera issues.

My camera has stopped functioning all it will do is render pink static. I wanted to see if there was a work around before I do an rma for a refurbished phone. Any ideas?

Backup your current setup
Flash the EVO camera found in the Virtuous Extra Goodies section of Rom d/l in Rom Manager.

Unless it's a software problem, that won't do anything.

You don't have to send it in for a refurb. You could always just replace the camera if you wanted to keep the exact phone you have now.

I haven't replaced mine, but I did replace the front bezel and digitizer, wasn't hard at all. I would believe the camera to be even easier to replace. I think there was a thread on here showing you how to do it also, unfortunately I can't find that at the moment.

My dad's phone had the pink hue on it. I rooted it, wiped it, tried different cameras, etc. Didn't help. Had to get a refurb.
Can't help on replacing only the camera, sorry.

[Q] Proximity sensor ruining my life

Hello everyone! I have been having literally the worst two weeks trying to get the proximity sensor on my Note II to behave consistently. The sensor does not provide any feedback to the system. Using Android Sensor Box just returns the "No change detected yet" message. I am seriously at wit's end with this. I tried starting over and flashing stock using Odin but it doesn't seem like the kernel is at all affected through that and does not provide reliable results. Sometimes I can flash a stock kernel and the sensor works, but as soon as I either flash a different ROM or flash a different kernel, I am not able to use the sensor. I do not believe it to be the hardware because I have tried two different assemblies with the sensor on it to no avail. Is there anyone that could help? (And yes, I have searched high and low for any kind of guidance on this) I really like this phone, but this is definitely a deal breaker.
Firstly what are you trying to do with the proximity sensor, that is not working for you? Auto brightness, or one of the samsung touchless features?
Thank you for replying. What queued me into the fact that it wasn't working was that my screen does not turn off when I put the phone up to my face during a call. But it doesn't work for any purpose. If it's of any help, the light sensor also does not work, so I'm not able to use things like auto-brightness either.

What type of Rom/kernels are you flashing that makes it stop working? AOSP or touchwiz?
Have you tried several, all with the same result?
You're saying that it does work when you run stock as well?

Both, I've tried using Perseus, Neak, SOAPKernel and of course stock. The ROM does not matter either, I really intend to use PAC-man RC1 Milestone, but right now I am using the Stock ROM and it is still not working.

Sounds like failing hardware man :/
Is your flash counter tripped? Are you still within warranty?

I have definitely flipped the flash counter, but there's always Triangle Away right? I'm actually totally screwed because I busted my screen a while back and replaced it and the one I got was for an International phone. I guess I could try a third sensor? This is bad news

You may have damaged it during the screen swap, or it could maybe just be loose or shorting, which is why occasionally it will work.

Yeah, I actually was worried that I had damaged it when I opened it in preparation for the screen swap, but I couldn't remember well enough when it exactly stopped working. Thank you much, I should have a new one in by the weekend and then we will know.

No problem man! I hope it works for you.. Maybe before buying a new one check to see if it's just a loose connection (depending on how electrically savvy you are).

Okay so my mind is officially blown. Replaced the sensor with a new one and still not getting any feedback from either sensor. I really still do think it's something about the kernel, but because I have limited knowledge of these things, I am probably not the best person to diagnose the issue
The issue is definitely that the sensor just does not turn on, which is odd because the camera works. I found a thread with some proximity sensor calibration stuff but it is a bit over my head.

I find that strange though if you have tried several, all with the same issue
i am having the same issue, except tha also notification led will not work on stock roms but it will work on cm roms.
So, just a conclusion on this issue. I decided to just transplant the sticker from the original screen I had and exchange this phone using its warranty. When I was preparing the phone to return to the device support center, when I flashed back to stock and had already Triangle Away'd, the sensor did turn on and was recognized in the *#0*# diagnostic screen, but it still did not turn the screen off during calls and Motions were still not functioning. So, ultimately, no real solution in my case.
:good:
Easy FIX!!!!!
I took a can of compressed air and blew it through the top earpiece grill a few times and Voila, it works great now!!
I actually used a Old perfume can which perfume was over and it was only pressing Gas OFF!! :good::good::good:

Back Camera Poor Photos

My HTC One M8 recently started taking poor quality photos with the Duo Camera. I've uploaded two photos I've taken with back and front cameras. And there is significant difference in quality. I don't know what happened and when it happened, but it wasn't like this a week ago or so. I was using VenomRom when I discovered it yesterday and flashed latest Android Revolution, still low quality. I've tried several camera apps and all the same. Should I get it serviced ?

Well, of course before opening a thread I've searched for it. But I might have chosen the wrong keywords. I've seen many camera/photo related threads none suited my problem.
Since you are keen on search may be you can help me ?

[Q] Pure Android ROM?

Is there a stable (fully working) vanilla/pure android ROM out there yet?
Yes, but they are hidden from people who don't search first...

Yea but it's top secret since you did not post this in the correct section we can not tell you
Nothing out there that is fully working... Still waiting
Sigh. The bad habit of posting before searching seems so much worse in the G3 threads than any other phone I've owned -__-

I was thinking the same thing until I remembered what the gs3 q&a section looked like. On any given day you would see the same question get answered about five times.
Nothing yet.
Items not yet working:
Camera
Bluetooth
LED Light stays on initially until connected to a charger.
Lockscreen will sometimes momentarily freeze on unlock.
With Lollipop around the corner I don't really see these things getting fixed just yet. I would put money on the fact that the devs are going to be more focused on getting a functional Lollipop ROM before spending a ton of time on working out these nagging issues.

Just a heads up is all
Sorry to those of you that were angered by my original post, that was not my intention....But it sounds like we will see 5.0 by the end of the year. I just wonder how much LG will change it so I will probably root and install a custom ROM anyways.

You can always flash a stock based ROM once it's released too.
My camera is working so they should have it fixed soon
