My camera flash used to work fine but for the last week or so it just doesn't turn on.
I've tried with the default camera app, Vignette and Camera 360 but no luck...
The strange thing is that the flash is working fine as a flashlight AND when I turn the camcorder on. So for videos it is ok.
I googled this and also searched xda but with no luck...
Anyone has any idea?
Thanks very much in advance

Hi,
I installed LeeDroid V2.0 and running the 5.09.00.20 radio. I also tried the latest radio 5.10.05.23. But with both radios I don't get camera and camcorder working.
When I press the app, I see the camera/camcorder-symbol for a second and then the screen went black. Whit the home-button I come back the the homescreen.
Besides the Froyo-flashlight-app doesn't work.
What could be the reason for that? The search gave the advice, to uninstall the led-light-app. But I didn't install it and couldn't find in the applicationlist.
I have to say, that the camera/camcorder worked before the root!
Thanks.
Edit: Now I tried to unroot. After the unroot, the original Android 2.1 is on the device. But the camera and the camcorder do not work. It always ends in black screen... What could be the reason? Hardware defect?
Hi,
I've got the same problem since Leedroid 2.0. On every ROM the camera screen goes black Is there anybody who can help us?
Thanks
Hi,
Using the same constellation without any problem. Any special camera app installed? Or other app getting access to the camera?

No, I switched to different roms already, but the problem still exists (Modaco R9, OpenDesire, LeeDroid, PinkyDesire). I can take pictures now, but when I once use the camcorder, nothing is working. The HUD is away and i can only see what the camera shows. When i press the Home button and want to start the Camcorderapp again, there's only a black screen Please I need Help.
Thanks
-Edit-
Problem solved:
There was a corrupted 720P Video on my SD. I deleted it und everything works fine again
Yes, I had problems with my camcorder when my card got corrupted. I re-formated it and everything's good
i have same problem and i cant get any thing to work it sucks. tried a ton of radios
Having problem with my camera flash not working. I've tried calling Sprint and as usual they couldn't resolve the problem. The final step was to reset the phone back to factory. Which I don't want to do if I don't have to. I first noticed the problem when my 3rd party flashlight app didn't work. So I tried the camera and the led flash didn't work either. So I uninstalled the flashlight app to see if that was the problem. Still no flash. The led does work with the widget assistive light. So I know it's burnt out. Anyone know how to fix my problem? Thanx in advance
hi,
on the quick settings, there is a flashlight button,
but when i click on it the button becomes activated, but flashlight doesnt turn on
i first though that the flashlight was broken, so took a picture, and flashlight worked
then i installed a flashlight app, with that app flashlight is also working
then i tested again from the quick panel, and it was working
now, after some hours, flashlight from the quick panel is not working again, only the from the app/camera
thnx
am i the only one with this issue?
Have you matched your firmware and rom, either to MMB29K or MMB29P? My suggestion is to use fastboot to make sure everything is matching, so flash at least boot.img, system.img and vendor.img if you are on stock rom. Then try it again.

Oh, then fastboot is not an option. Hmm, have you tried clearing data for the camera? This is the first I've heard of a 5X flashlight issue on stock.

that doenst help, clearing data
when i open camera, and enable flashlight, then the flashlight from the "quick settings" is working
i reboot the device, not working anymore
also when enabling it from the quick settings, the flashicon doesnt turn on white , like other quick short settings
I am not sure why that would be the case. Do you know when this first started occurring? Do you have an overlay on your phone? Something to decrease the screen brightness or that applies itself over your screen, like a constant floating notification.

No overlay or anything like that, but i maybe found the bug, i think it has todo with battery/doze mode... When camera app goes to sleep mode, it doesnt work... Added camera app now to whitelist of battery optimazation, lets see what happens now...
ignore last post, that didnt help either

Hi,
My treat camera used to work fine, but one day started the autofocus started to fail, and pictures taken are blurry.
I've checked using other camera applications (which don't use the laser focus) but all are having the same issue.
I've ordered a new camera and changed, just to find the same issue.
I've noted that when using the magic mode, the pictures taken can be manually focused and they are good as they used to be.
I've also run the camera test on the hidden menu, and it shows AF failed.
Any idea? Is it possible to calibrate the focus of the camera?
Thanks in advance.

SOLVED
I had to buy another camera, and now it is working.
It cost me about 10 US$ on ebay.

All,
I noticed yesterday when attempting to use the front facing camera that I get only a black screen, the camera app switches back to rear camera for a moment, then the app closes.
I am not sure when this became an issue as I'm not a selfie kind of guy. The rear camera continues to function just fine.
I have tried the following fixes
wipe data in the camera app
wipe user data
uninstall / reinstall camera update
boot into safe mode
uninstall / reinstall app that utilize the camera
None of the "fixes" have resolved the problem.
Does anyone have a suggestion where to head next?
Phone is S-Off, unlocked, rooted, and running the latest stock ROM.
Should I just say f-it and try a different ROM?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Update: I flashed LeeDroid ROM this morning and the front facing camera is still not working. Looks like it could be a hardware issue...

yah, that's what it looks like. hope you have warranty.
I have the same issue. Previously when I pressed the swirly-arrows button it tried to switch then locked up and wouldn't do anything until I restarted. Now when I press the button it just spins around and nothing happens. I used catlog reader to find some errors being logged. I posted a thread about it if you're interested.
