camera flash repairing .. - HTC Wildfire S

my wildfire s camera flash is not working......it works only when i start the app after boot.and it only works with torch apps and camcoder mode..it swithed off/on automaticaly during operation..so i guess some cable has loosen...one more thing it never works with camera mode....so i guess i need repairing ..any ideas about costs etc.. thnx

Are you sure it's an hardware problem? Have you tried to reflash another rom or the original rom/recovery?

yes.tried almost all roms available on this forum..stock too not working.

[Q] GPS not working

I just installed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458749 and my gps doesnt want to work anymore. when its turned on and google maps opened it doesnt even show the icon. i tried some other programs but gps wont work in them either.is there any way to fix this problem or i need to download another rom?and another question:is there any way to fix 2.3.7 android camcorder problem?
sorry for bad english!
This happens very often
You can try 3 things when this happens... like a month ago it happened to me S-FFing my Wildfire
Some people says that Flashing the last radio for the wildfire (3.35.20.10) solves the problem: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Wildfire:_Support_Downloads its very easy but you need 25 or more battery when u start the process because if it does not finish u can brick your phone.
You can also try with this patch for the GPS, also makes it faster http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447591 (x3 trunk Download the Google Specific) Just flash it
What it solved my GPS problem was to Install my original HTC Rom and activated my Gps, you should enter google maps and wait until finds you. leave the Gps enabled and restart your phone in recovery. Wipe everything (Data, cache) and install whatever Rom u want
I already have 3.35.20.10 radio and i already tried to flash agps patch but i havent tried last thing
It's slow and sporadic even with the fixes. The offset is usually at the same spot on my map.
another option is to create a nandroid backup the, flash a ROM with known working GPS, turn on the GPS on that ROM and let it get a fix on your position, leave the GPS on then reflash your backup. GPS should now work fine
Thanks arkoze and r30orozco!And is there any way to fix camcorder force close?

Well, looks like it went bad hardware. You can try taking the device apart, and check connections for broken or looseness, , or take it to a shop for repair and they can do this.
It doesn't look like a software issue if you went stock and the issue was still there.

It Happened to me once before and just worked after flashing another rom so i thought it could be the same problem and tried another roms but no result
Iam not that good in taking things apart (never could get things one piece together again )
if you know a tool to check for hardware just to be sure where the problem is and repair shops here in my country are not any better than my skills

I have done full wipe, wipe data, dalvik.... Camera doesn't work
Maybe this is a problem with hardware or hardware's firmewire
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37072484#post37072484
i installed stock rom from this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382235
and try code: *#34971539# and *#*#34971539#*#* but doesn't work. This code we can use to camera update. http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Secret-Codes-Android-Mobile-Phones-76373.S.96857331
Probably i must install camera firmwire. Do you know how i can do this?

The above code works on Samsung phone only (I think). Don't know HTC procedure to update the camera, sorry

[Q] Camera stopped with cm update

Hi,
last week i updated my cyanogenmmod to 20140526 and had some bigger Problems with the Dialer. I was not able to call someone. Every time the idcallerui crashed.
Because of this i tried some different roms like Paranodid or older cm roms. Now i dont have this Problem with the dialer but now my camera doesnt work any more. If i try to open the camera it stopps. Before i installed a new rom i always did a full wipe in the recovery mode.
I tried different gapps from paranoid, cm, mini or stock but nothng fixes my camera.
I dont want to send it back to samsung to get this fixed because i have to wait to long for my phone.
What did i do wrong? False Gapps for galaxy nexus?
What combination of rom and gapps can u recommend?
i now have flashed my device back to complete stock rom. But the problem still exists. when i try to open the camera app it stoppes.
i tried a app called facecam and there i get the error :"Failed to connect to camera service"
Should i send it to Samsung? I still have 3 Weeks Waranty
how can i see if it is definitly stock and samsung cant see that i had root and a diferent rom?

2 things!
1* You front facing camera needs to be replaced
2* Send it to Samsung like it is they do not care if the phone is locked, rooted, or a custom rom.
Trust me I've done it myself!

Rear camera not working

Hi, the rear camera and flash seem to not be working a few days after installing Viper on my M9. Camera worked for about 1-2 days after flashing latest Viper ROM, but then stopped altogether. Anything trying to utilize the flash also doesn't work (HTC and Google flashlight). I've tried wiping the camera's data & cache, and I flashed the upgraded camera software that is available on Venom Hub, still no luck. Launching the camera app shows a black screen for a few seconds, then crashes back to home screen with no error message. Front camera works fine. Service provider is Sprint. Recovery is TWRP. I know that I could likely get a functioning camera back by re-flashing the Viper ROM or another ROM, but that's time consuming, and I'd prefer to only do that as a last resort. Any help greatly appreciated!
There is no fast way. Reflash the rom over the top, it shouldn't erase anything as you are recovering, not upgrading. Otherwise you're looking at going back to stock to test.

this happened to me without any software change (that I know of) just a hardware change. I even bought and installed a new rear camera which now allows the use of the front camera but the rear is not detected in the app and the flashlight just loops forever with a "loading" message. I am also SPRINT
