LED Flash died, sort of (not dead, just has a life of it's own?!)

Just noticed that my LED flash doesn't work, not on camera or with "torch". First of all I'm using the latest Cyanogenmod 6.0.2 with Launcher Pro Plus, and havent experienced any problems with it. I did however a complete wipe and tried 2 other roms to be sure (tried the HTC Flashlight) but the LED stays dead.
Anyways, I tried the "torch" on Cyanogenmod and obviously it didn't work, BUT a bit later when I unlocked my phone the LED turned on by itself approximately for the time I tried the torch earlier.. sounds weird? for me too, and it did that a second time also. What the f&%k is the problem, hardware issue? Propably or something else? I have no idea what to try
If I wanna get my phone to warranty I'd need to unroot it.. I have HBOOT 0.93 and SLCD screen, didn't find a solution for that combo or does just simply running a official RUU unroot it?

i have no idea about the flash... but for unrooting it, just running a RUU for slcd should unroot it... just try, you won't loose anything, just do a backup (titanium backup) then flash the RUU, the worst that can happen is that it does nothing, and you have to root it again...

Yeah unrooting is a piece of cake, don't wanna do that just yet because the LED is not dead afterall, it just has a life of it's own, it blinks on about every 30 seconds.. lol, is there a way to disable the LED light like removing it's driver or something? This is just such a mindf*&k right now..

Well.. after fighting with trying to get one of my SD cards to work as Goldcard I gave up and wiped and flashed once again, and to my surprise the flash is working again, HTC's Flashlight kinda workd backwards, from brightest, dimmest to medium brightness.. but as for cameras it does seem to work.
If anyone expreiences something similar please do share it, I don't wanna be the only one acting like lunatic with LED problems lol

Hi phiit,
It's not just you, I'm having a very similar issue. Got my phone back from HTC a couple of weeks ago after they manually applied the latest software update to 2.2 - as the OTA update failed and corrupted the radio on my phone (Grrr!).
I have noticed over the past few days the flashlight feature doesn't work, it loads up and you 'click' the button on the display to select one of the light levels, but nothing happens with the camera flash LED at all.
In addition to this the camera flash LED occasionally, and apparently completely randomly, lights up for half a second roughly whilst I am doing something completely unrelated with the phone.
It has happened while I am unplugging it from charge, browsing the internet, playing Angry Birds and using other apps - none of which (as far as I know) go anywhere near the camera.
The camera flash now does not operate when I try to take a picture in low light conditions - regardless of the flash setting on the camera app, I can't make it come on in Google Goggles or Barcode scanner either.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, this is a non-rooted, branded T-Mobile handset.

Any ideas anyone? I'm waiting to hear back from htc about it, I'm not looking forward to their answer somehow....

Phone sent off to HTC again on Tuesday, awaiting their response, hopefully it'll be quicker than the three weeks it took last time......

[Q] Desire HD freezes after using Home-Button in any App

Hey,
since today my Desire HD keeps freezing after I pressed the Home-Button when I'm in an App. After that I have to remove the battery, so I can actually restart my phone.
An example which happened already twice to me: I was playing "Bike Race" for about 5minutes. Then I turned off the Screen. After about 30minutes I turned it back on. The games pops up. I press the Home-Button, the phone vibrates and freezes. Not even 1 Button is working after that anymore.
Yesterday I followed this tutorial to calibrate my battery correctly : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226016
I also flashed the newest Beastmode Kernel. My Desire HD is rooted & is running Sabsa Prime v12.
I never had this problem before, so I'm wondering if anyone knows how to fix this.
Thanks for trying to help ..

Have you tried a system factory reset (and cache/dalvik)
If not, I would suggest doing so. Also, try flashing a non sense rom and see if that works (not for permanent use if you don't want, but then you can find out the root of the problem)
Good luck

[Q] Brightness adjustment doesn't work. Screen won´t turn on again.

Hello guys, I hope some one can help me out here.
Yesterday, after I woke up I noticed my phone has turned off, I turned it on again with no problem, minutes later I tried to check something on it but the screen doesn't turned on, the backlight from the keyboard and the 4 button under the screen still works, I can press any button and it sounds like phone still works, even with the camera button I hear the shutter like the phone take the photo, the system is on while the screen is still off. The only way to see the screen now, is removing the battery and leave the screen on all the time, I notice then that the brightness adjust doesn't work and it got stuck in the last one used (about 40%).
I was at the moment with CM9. I tried with stock rom using Odin, also again with CM9, and CM10.2. Changed kernel in the last two but the problem is still there.
UPDATE: I just tried CM7 and brightness control works, but still has the problem.
Do you have any ideas for this? Thanks in advance.
P.D. Sorry for the bad English.

[Q] Galaxy Note 2 Black screen after cyanogenmod

Hi,
I installed the cyanogenmod 11 nightly like a week ago on my galaxy note 2 and all was running perfectly until this morning.
When I woke up this morning the phone screen was black. The phone is actually working, I can hear emails notifications, phone ringing etc.
The buttons light up when i press them. When I connect it to the PC I can browse the phone contents etc. All seems to function except the screen.
The battery is charged. I tried to remove the battery for a long time and try again but still nothing.
I can't get into recovery or download mode as the screen is blank (sometimes there is a like a weird area at the top where there are like different colored pixels present). I know people will say the screen might be damaged but last night before I went to bed it was all fine, the phone was placed on the table, and this morning when I picked it up screen is blank.
I want to flash back the stock firmware. However I can't get into download mode in order to use Odin. Is there any other way to get into download mode or hardware reset the phone?
Any suggestions are welcomed.
EDIT: The touch screen also seems to work when I touch it as I can for example call numbers for which I had speeddial scortcuts but it is still completely blank.

I think this is hardware issue. You must replace the screen

Yeah I think so too. I've sent it to Samsung.
It was rooted and had cyanogenmode so probably I have no warranty
However I managed to install stock ROM so hopefully they won't (can't) notice.

[Q] Help: Wifi, Bluetooth, Screen Rotation stopped working

Hi there,
i couldn't find my problem already discussed via the board search, so i'm posting it here. i hope this is the right board, if not please relocate.
i'm using the find7a since about 1 year now. the only updates i did for colorOS were the ones that have been proposed automatically via the popups. but these i did every time.
i have alwas had several issues with the phone/os, mostly random shutdowns without any reason. but at some point, these shutdowns suddenly declined and i got used to live with the few that still occur from time to time. but now i have a much bigger problem and i don't know where it came from:
few days ago, i got the popup that a new os-update was available. i had a little time so i did it instantly. without any problems the update was installed and after that the phone booted as always and nothing strange happened. 1 day later i recognized that something had changed. i wasn't able to turn on the wifi anymore! same goes for the bluetooth. also the automatic screen rotation (when you turn the phone in a right angle) didn't work anymore! but all of them DID work for the 1 day since i made the last update. so i assumed it has nothing to do with the new os-version (which is 1.2.9 btw). i didn't change anything in the phones settings, everything was the same. but from one moment to the other these three problems suddenly came up. maybe even more that i didn't recognize yet.
although everything worked fine for 1 day since the update, i thought maybe the update could be the problem after all. so i wanted to flash another version of colorOS. i tried the 2.0.8i which was considered stable by the official oppo board admins on friday. the flashing worked fine, colorOS 2.0.8i booted, but the problems remained! still no wifi, no bluetooth, no screen rotation.
next thing i thought: maybe it's a hardware problem. so i flashed another ROM (always making a factory reset + wiping all cashes and data from the internal storage first), i tried a few. they were all flashed successfull but most of them hung up during the first boot sequence (cyanogenmod, paranoid, nameless), i always got stuck in the loading screen. last one i tried was OMNI ROM, and this one finally worked, meaning i got it started. first thing i did was checking the wifi connection and what do you know? the wifi worked just fine, my home network was found immediately und the connection went all good! which means a hardware defect should be out of the question.
this brings me back to thinking the problem lies within colorOS. which would be very sad becaue i really like colorOS and i would like to keep using it!
reproduction of the issues:
to reproduce the problems, when you are on the home screen you simply have to drag down the shortcut-menu. then tap on "wifi" and watch the symbol turn into the one for "loading" (the circling line). and then: nothing happens. the loading symbol just keeps on circling on and on. when you slide the menu up and down again, the normal "wifi-off" symbol shows and wifi is not turned on.
almost the same goes for the bluetooth. only when you tap this icon, the loading animation stops after a few seconds und the "bluetooth-off" icon appers again, this time without sliding the menu up and down. bluetooth stays turned off anyway.
for the rotation problem you just need to got to an app, where you can type in some text, f.e. whatsapp or gmail. tap the message area to make the keyboard and the cursor appear and then turn the phone from vertical to horizontal. normally the display should rotate automatically, but it doesn't it just stays in the vertical view mode. of course the rotation ist activated all the time, so no need to advice that
the rotation problem does not only occur when trying to type sth. in but also when i want to watch videos (f.e. with the vlc player app). the video stays locked in the vertical mode, making the image very small of course. this is also very annoying!
so, what do you think could be the reason for my problems? and what could i do to solve them? i hope you can help me.
i attached a log-file which hopefully shows the bugs.
my current specs are:
find 7a
colorOS 1.2.9
TWRP 2.8.6.0
