A few days ago my flash stopped working in camera and the flashlight app. But my flash also started to flash at random times for about half a second. This usually happens when I boot my phone, end a call or when I open my browser.
I have read about a few people with this problem, but have not found a real solution.
I'm rooted and running InsertCoin 1.1.3, S-on.
Is it a software or hardware issue?
Can I fix it?
Any help will be appreciated!
Solution
For anyone who has this problem: It turned out to be a hardware issue. If you unroot and return your phone to your service provider they should be able to fix it.

My Desire has intermittent freezing issues. I thought it might have been due to a poor rom installation so I wiped the Dalkvik cache and factory wipe before I re-flashed LeeDroid 2.2a. I've kept the phone clean and not installed any apps so I can rule out and problems caused by them.
It was working fine yesterday until I was showing a friend how to wipe battery stats, when I went to reboot the phone from ClockworkMod it then froze at the lock screen. I had to pull the battery twice before it actually started up correctly.
It's fine now but I'm just waiting on it happening again.
Has anyone else had these issues?
It was a t-mobile uk handset and I would need to restore to their rom before returning, so if that is the likely solution, can someone pass a link so I can put their rom back on the phone.
Any help or advice appreciated.
I've just got my Desire back from repair (after 6 weeks of grief with HTC, but that's another story on another thread!) and it's doing exactly the same as yours....will appear to work fine, then randomly freeze. This could happen after 10 minutes or sometimes even during boot.
I've rooted it, but it's still got the stock T-Mobile (UK) ROM. I'm wondering if the problem might be caused by rooting, but have downloaded the 2 stock ROMs on the relevant thread on here, but neither will install.
Have you had any joy with your issue?
I'll email you as well.
Cheers,

Hello!
For some time now my phone's been rebooting itself completely random it seems. I just got it back after sending it away to get this issue fixed. Obviously the "repair" didn't really do anything at all. All they did was to flash the latest software apparently.
I got quite fed up with the crashing and rebooting stuff, and figured that it wouldn't hurt to try to flash a custom ROM, in this case I chose to root the phone and try MiUi. I had no clue wether it would solve the issue I'm having, but I figured it was worth a try. So i rooted the phone and flashed the latest version of MiUi (1.11.18).
At the start it seemed like it had worked, and had stopped the phone from crashing. But after some time I realized that the issue is still there, only difference now is that it ONLY crashes when I lock the screen with the Power-button. EVERY SINGLE TIME I do this, in a matter of minutes it will either reboot or just turn black and totally unresponsive. Only way to get it on again is to take out the battery and put it back in.
This is starting to annoy the **** out of me, so I talked to my brother for advise this morning, and he told me to wipe my Dalvik Cache. So I did, and nothing changed, the phone keeps on living it's own life.
I have absolutely no clue what info you guys might need to help me with this, but I'll start with this:
Phone: HTC Desire HD
Android-version: 2.3.7
Kernel-version: 2.6.35.14-cyanogenmod-g319b6e2
ROM: MiUi 1.11.18
Also, the motherboard's been switched once, cause of another issue that is now gone.
ANY help is appreciated, I just want to be able to use the phone normally!
EDIT: Also it seems that the phone won't reboot or crash whenever it's charging.
Sounds like a hardware/software issue your best bet is getting a replacement and re rooting .

Hi there,
Just wanted your point of view regarding something really strange that happened to me yesterday.
(btw, I looked it up all over the forum + google but still unabale to find a proper answer)
So basically, I droped down my phone, which crashed on the floor but nothing really serious. Ever since, every time I try and turn on the wifi, it says "Error".
I've tried rebooting it several times and still get the issue.
Do you guys think the wifi chip could have been broken? Is there any report log I could find using terminal or root explorer?
Phone specs:
Virtuous Unity v1.29.0
Android 2.3.3
Phone rooted
Bluetooth does turn on
Thanks in advance for your help
Try flashing a different rom, back up your current one first, and check out if the wifi is working without restoring any apps.
Did you ever fix this? I did the exact same thing, dropped onto hard tile. Wifi error and couldn't read data partition.
Randomly after a day or 2 it fixed itself and was fine for 2 weeks.
BUT...just happened again today. I wiped caches, reflashed ARHD, fixed all permissions. Data partition became readable again (not sure which of those fixed that) but i still get "Wifi Error" when turning wifi on.
Any help/suggestions much appreciated.
I have a Samsung Epic 4g that I have flashed to cricket, and I am having significant problems with the phone. It initially worked fine, but it eventually started shutting off on its own, dropping calls, and other issues. I thought it might be one of the battery saving programs I had tried, so I re-flashed the phone to a different Rom. The problems continued, so I tried to flash the CWM El30 to FC09, but it gave errors and would not process. I am also unable to install Google Apps, and the PlayStore would not load but gave connection errors.
I am leaving for a business trip tomorrow, and need to know if this is a hardware problem or a software problem that can be somehow fixed, so I can get a replacement phone. Does anyone have suggestions on how to fix the software issues, or ??????

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if it gives you issues on stock fc09 i would say hardware. flash to fc09 stock from here and try. remember to click reset partition if you are on a bmt rom.
I've got a rather strange problem... I'm running stock due to this issue... I'm running mm right now... Anyways, every time I root this phone, I lose my dialer program menu for example, *#0*#. I figured it was a rooting issue so I just flashed back to stock and then flashed only twrp and then flashed a mm rom. Well it still did the same thing. Anybody else having this issue or know of a fix? I need to be able to access the calibration menu for my compass for work..
Nobody has this issue? Ik I can't be the only one...
