Having trouble getting the camera to work thru stock app or any other for that matter. The rear and front camera stoppd working as well as the flash. No water damage or anything and I was on deodex stock EI22 then I just upgraded to FC07 cuz I was tired of the update notifications and I thought it would fix my cameras and flash but no such luck. Anyone know what the problem may be or how to fix it. Thanks

Try to odin to stock fc09 and see if you still have the issue if you do then it is hardware issue. Go here to get stock FC09 and all instructions.

Thanks Taz. I forgot to mention I am rooted fc09. And I used odin. I'm starting to think its hardware too but I didn't think BOTH cameras and the LED would all go out together. I was hoping someone else who was rooted would know a fix or know of some app that was known to conflict wit the camera operation. I'm tryin not to have to unroot and take it back to the store for repair.

If you odin to stock and it still happened its hardware... your going to have to bring it to sprint... you shouldn't techniically have to unroot because their policy states that if its hardware they still have to work on your phone... if its software they still have to also but they are supposed to bring you back to stock first... but better safe than sorry, unroot and bring it to sprint for repair... only way if it happened on stock unrooted also...

If a screen doesn't turn off while your using just the phone no speaker or bluetooth its probably a bad sensor right? I never had one stay on before like this one. It sux because i end up pushing all kinds of stuff with my ear while talking on the phone. I am running rooted ec05 with only the basic bloat frozen with titanium. I even tried odining ec05 to make sure it wasnt some software problem, if it is maybe someone here could tell me where to look or what to do to try and fix it.

If ODIN didn't fix it, it's hardware.
I was afraid of that. Thanks for conformation

I absolutely LOVE everything about this phone EXCEPT the LOS issues!!
I've only had it for 5 days now and experienced 3 LOS!
Since I'm still within 14 days, should I return it? thinking of getting the Photon instead.
From personal experience I'd say hang on to it and try flashing some of the newer releases to see if it doesn't improve the LOS issue.

I know you are asking because apparently you need the help of others to make up your mind... (sorry I am a smartass) But quick question what rom are you on cuz buddy LOS is a thing of the past up in herrrre... And that PHoton are you serious would you trade in your S clase Benz for a C Class Benz....
Root that sucka and flashing one of the stock EL29 roms or do the upgrage on your phone for the complete stock version... Oh yea and if you gonna ask where the roms are then maybe you should return your phone...LOL (smartass again)
exactly, flash something different (I'd recommend calks) and that issue goes away :O
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Doesn't even need to flash roms, root, and all that. Just OTA to EL29 and it should get rid of the issue.
Hey playya like the benz analogy, I was thinkin the same thing about the photon swap.
Yea update your phone dawg LoS was fixed officially in december
If you have Los on EK02+ get a replacement

What's the latest stock version?
I'm on EL29 version 2.3.6 running fully stock since there was no reason to go custom until now.
and thanks for all the help so far. looks like I'll either update to latest stock version or go custom.

I think almost everyone on this forum experienced frequent LOS until Sprint issued a firmware update that fixed it. I haven't experienced LOS since and it would happen to me several times a day. Update your firmware and you should see this go away. (my recommendation is to go with Calk's non-ICS firmware since it's probably the most stable at the moment)

Sounds like you need to get your phone replaced. The loss of service was fixed with ek02. el29 was the update after ek02 and it's the most recent update. You shouldn't be having any problems.
And you're flat out insane if you step down to a photon.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
I'd definitely suggest Call's E4GT rom its one of the better ones out there, i havent had any issues with LoS but i did just get my phone in december. But for sure keep this phone !
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Yea, I would try flashing Calk's EL29. It should solve the LOS issues while improving the phone in mutliple other areas as well.
If that doesn't work, just take ot back to Sprint and replace it with another one. I would highly recommend staying with this phone though, not the Photon.

I was initially going to flash to Calks ROM anyway but this phone was pretty awesome out of the box until the LOS issue.
I think it's safe to say Im keeping this phone since there seems to be a fix for LOS

Exactly my thought... OP, as you are on EL29 you should not be experiencing LOS. Are you sure what you are experiencing is actually LOS, and not just poor Sprint service?
I'm not an expert flasher but the devs here have made it so simple I've been able to play around with several of the ICS releases but I always return to sfhub's stock-rooted EL29 and get amazing performance out of it.

I believe so. It says something to the effect of no service and roaming charges will be applied. So i'm assuming thats LOS.

If your phone is up to date I wouldn't flash anything on it. Just take it to a store and get it replaced. The LOS issue has been fixed. Unless your counting the ghost LOS problem. I had that one until I switched to EL29.

Ummm try to take a screenshot, idk what you're talking about?
Only time I ever get LoS is when clearing RAM in Task Manager, which I think is normal? Only for 2 seconds then pops right back up and runs perfectly
I'm getting off colored lines across my screen and I'm planning on going to the sprint store to ask for a replacement since I have TEP coverage.
Should I Odin back to stock even though this isn't a software problem? I'm on CM10 right now and my Odin binary counter is also at 1. I really want this exchange to go as smoothly as possible.

Yeah, I would. Smoothly as possible? Back up everything. Even internal sd. Download the un-rooted one-click for Fi27 stock. Run that. Then take it in. That way should ensure you don't have any problems.

I did a nandroid backup already and moved it on to my computer for now. Restoring a jelly bean back up on EL29 won't cause any problems will it?
You should also DL triangle away to get rid of your flash counter

Firstly thank you in advance to anyone who takes time out to help me fix this problem.
I have searched high and low for an answer both here and abroad but I have not been able to find anything that addresses non-stock recovery and yellow triangles.
I have an Epic 4G Touch running CM9 with CWM. A couple of days ago I noticed that my charge port was giving me issues and I had to place the connector in just the right way to get it to charge. Now it has become a large issue where it will barely charge.
TL;DR: I have insurance and need to figure out how to get back to stock everything, remove the yellow triangle (without USB jig) and make it look like the phone has had nothing but stock.
Thank you again!
That's cheating.

Search "Triangle Away" and all stick ROMs are in the Repository... Click on stickies in the Dev section
Why not try a PC Odin One-clic stock restore (FL24) - carefully holding in the connector during the whole flash?

Use your current recovery to flash the FL24 modem and then use Mobile Odin to flash FL24.
Or he could just flash a full stock one click using the SD card and avoid all that stuff...

Depending on which modem they are running...
I'd suggest;
Use triangle away, flash an older official stock tar with mobile odin, (wont matter with current modem since they can be mixed since they're running cm9) then let the ota take it to official latest.
But I'm betting op has done something by now.

It does really work. But there are chances for it to brick if you lose power to the phone. Battery dies, if falls and battery falls out, power button issues. Other than that, it won't brick you. They also put that warning on there so someone can't blame the dev if they did something to f**k their phone up. Its a universal disclaimer thar tells people to be careful.

Stock roms/kernels should remove that triangle as well unless i am mistaken.

You're mistaken, to a point.
Flashing a stock will remove the triangle but not reset the binary counter.
Triangle away will do both.

Tried updating CWM but there is still green banding. I have tried to Odin back to stock ICS, then flash to Jelly bean. On ICS, I still have no banding for front facing camera, but as soon as i flash stock jb the banding appears for the front facing camera still. Thanks for trying tho. Any more suggestions?

Flash stock JB in Odin then boot straight into stock recovery and do a factory reset.

Uh... If you had the phone since launch then you still have at least till may to get it RMA. You have a year plus if you have Tmobile insurance 7.99 it extends your warranty and get 5$ overnight shipping. Look into that.
