My LED flash has stopped working for both the camera and my flashlight app. It was working just fine but it doesn't work at all now. Does anyone know a way to fix this? I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the flashlight app. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Could be burned out, especially if you used the flashlight a lot.

I would hope not, I haven't used it much at all. I haven't even had the phone a month yet.

a friend of mine has an EVO 4G, hardware 004, it has been working fine until a few weeks ago when his camera showed a BLACK screen when you clicked on the camera app. he was rooted running SPRINT LOVERS 2.2 rom. Well, we couldnt get the camera working so we did a hard reset and flashed MIKROM 3.0... camera was now working great..... TODAY. the camera is showing a black screen again. you dont even get any of the buttons in the camera app but you can press the home screen to get out (no force quit or anything).
any ideas how to fix this without another hard reset?
The best advice is to try another rom, specifically a stock sprint rom. If it still doesn't work, or works sporadically, its likely a hardware problem with the camera itself.
It sounds like a hardware issue to me I had the same problem an had to get it replaced.don't quote me these guys ate pretty smart but I couldn't get mine fixed

Sounds like the camera hardware maybe staring to fail or has become loose from the board next time it goes black try pressing the lens down and see if it tries to work that would indicate loose connection, otherwise the sensor may be failing
Go in to recovery and fix permission's

and how does that fix the camera??
OK so today we tried pushing down on the camera module.. then started up the phone and guess what.. it works again...
Sounds like the camera sensor is loose on the board, may need to take it on for repair, or if your techsavvy try opening it up and repair it yourself

Cause i had the same problem and ur cam is a app and sometimes it goes black when app is started, permissions fixs anything screwed up with your apps.

It fixes permissions for a lot of things like apps folders etc your android phone is a linux based system so in order for things to execute they need to have the correct permissions. For instance something with 777 permissions means it has full read write and execute permission for the owner, group and other here is a calculator for linux permissions just to show you what the different permissions are.

The permissions can sometimes change meaning the app or folder or whatever isn't able to execute because it doesn't have permission to fixing permissions is just supposed to fix that so your things can execute correctly hope this helps

Really 3 posts to answer the same question with 3 of the same answer when we already found the cause of the issue
Funny cause ive been combing the net trying to find a working fix. I've been having the same issue for weeks. Once did the "fix permissions" and it worked. Another time i re-flashed the same ROM then a different ROM and they both worked.
IDK what it is but everytime it works bout an 1/2 hour to 1 hour later its back to the black screen again. I'm stuck guys. I even had a friend of mine extract his HTCcamera.apk from his phone & load it on mine...guess what...worked!!! Hour later.....same crap
Comeon guys lets put our heads together and figure this out!!!
I by no means take credit for these but I can confirm they are working for me. I got these from the Skyrocket forums:
To fix the power off/reboot freeze issue do the following:
Make a CWM Nandroid backup of the ICS ROM. Then do a restore of the backup you just made without wiping anything. Reboot and test it out. It worked perfect for me.
Not sure why it works but it must have something to do with the restore scripts being used. They must somehow correct the power off/reboot issue.
To fix the portable hotspot issue do the following:

This has been tested by me and it works like a charm.

Unfortunately I think the auto-rotate issue is kernel related so we have to wait for a specific kernel for our phones. I downloaded an app from the market "Auto-Rotate Status Bar Switch" and it seems to work pretty well.
ok thanks will try it right now and I leave at 6 am for my job and I have much time for that lolll
That app doesn't help. Still rotates into landscape when I'm in a portrait mode.

dude, as you can clearly tell from the rest of this forum, no one has a fix for it yet. be patient. besides, the OP isn't trying to address the auto rotate problem in the first place..
OP, i will try out the fix, thanks.
I am patient. Just wondering how to use that app that's all. Couldn't figure it out. Rotation locker works best for me so far

Told me tethering is not supported ???
Samsung galaxy s2 almost ics lol
so im using Ravers blackedition rc3, with the ICS theme designed for rc2.
originally, rc3 had the shutdown/restart thing fixed, but flashing the theme broke it.
i tried your method but no luck for me.
im sure this still probably can work for those not using any themes tho
Yea what ROM are you running cause I tried both fixes and no luck
Samsung galaxy s2 almost ics lol
i am trying your method to get tethering to work...i followed your instructions and everything was good up until setting it up...i got to the skyrocket connected part...but when i hit my menu button nothing happens...i dont get the menu to set the SSID and pw
my laptop can pick up the skyrocket signal but it asks for a pw...and i dont know what it is since i didnt set one
edit: found your original thread and read the comments from another user...you have to tap on the word hotspot and then go into that page and then hit menu to configure...thanks!

I just flashed liquid rom rc8 with the 4.2 transformation add-on to Samsung Galaxy S3.
Under settings>display>notification light I've enabled it, tried different custom values.
I have battery light enabled as well. But the LED's just don't work. I've tried wiping clean 3 times and re-flashing, it still doesn't work.
WEIRD THING is when I click the test button and turn off the screen, the LED's will work according to the custom values I tried. But if it's not under test mode, it doesn't work at all. This has been bugging me for days!
I've never really had to post a question because I've always been able to search for the right answers somewhere. I can't even post this question under the development section because I just created this account and they need me to post 10 posts first...... -_-
But nobody has this same issue as me?

Hi!
I've installed several custom ROMs on my Wildfire S. Jelly King, JellyFish, Marvellous, Sense 5, Speed Droid, MIUI, Paranoid Android, CM10 Nightlies, and other ones that now I forgot. On each one of them I have the same issue: When I turn the phone's screen off, after a while (sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes 10 or 15), Wi-Fi connection stops working, I stop receiving messages (WhatsApp, Facebook, GTalk, etc). If I turn on the screen, the notification bar shows that Wi-Fi is online and working, but it's not, i.e. I open GTalk and it's disconnected, I open a website and have connection error. I have to wait or turn it off and then on again in order to get Wi-Fi working again. On every ROM I tried I checked the Wi-Fi always connected option to be selected, so that's not the solution. I also tried various"keep wifi alive" apps, and no luck. Same thing happens with Mobile Data.
With stock ROMs, everything works perfect.
My radio version is the latest available (Radio_47.23g.35.3038H_7.57.39.15M), I updated it a few months ago. My original stock ROM was 1.76 version (Brightstar Personal, Argentina).
I want to know if this is a common error or if I'm having something wrong and it can be solved. I'd really appreciate any help to get rid of this trouble.
Thanks in advance!!

Data issue is a common bug in ics and jb roms. But for wifi it works fine for me. Try going into wifi settings then advanced. Click on the wifi sleep policy and set it to never

Thanks for aswering! I'm sorry if my english is not clear enough, but I said I checked that policy in every ROM I've installed to be always connected.
Any other ideas?

Already done that, tried five or six of those fixers or "keep alive" apps, nothing changed.

Yes, I think Mobile Data bug is one of the most important bugs of JB roms too, and It's usually ignored.
I have to try WeFi Pro for some hours or a day to say if it works or not. So tomorrow there'll be news
Tried WeFi Pro for a day, once or twice I lost connection as always. What could be done to solve this? I'm a developer but never touched nothing android related, maybe something can be done with source code.
Strange using this app I didn't had any issues...
