[Q] Camera Flash not working.

Ever since I flashed my phone with the official HTC update (3.14.405.2) my flash on the camera will not come on when I select it in either flash or auto mode. It comes on when I take a picture though.
Before I flashed, if I selected flash on the LED would light so the camera could see and then when I pressed the shutter button it would go brighter and take the photo but I cant get this to work now.
Battery is fully charged and I have tried soft rebooting.
Please can someone assist.
Thanks,
John
yep, that started happening a few rom updates ago. its a "feature"
my workaround is to turn on "torchbutton" and then start the camera. pain in the rear.

blink notification LED when screen is on

Hi, I'm running neutrino rom and I'm trying to find a way for the notification LED to blink even if the screen is on. How can I accomplish this? I've tried lightflow but the LED still only blinks when the screen is off.
I would like this function, since if I have my phone in the dock and the screen has gone to screensaver mode I can't look in the satusbar to see if I have a notification. And since the LED only blinks if the screen is off I have to touch the screen to check and I find that silly to have to do. Sometimes I forget and then hours later I find out a have had missed calls and texts.

I believe our phone is one of those that doesn't blink led with screen on. I know lightflow warns of this as does my handcent. Don't think its possible unless someone else proves me wrong.
that's strange. if I mess with the LED notifaction settings under Cyanogenmod setting I can test the LED notification while the screen is on. Somehow it must be possible.

Is that cm7 or 9? I noticed in 7 the settings just aren't there (for me anyway) to use led for anything other than system default. With 9 I noticed led functions totally different like the charging led working (love that!) So maybe its rom dependent.
I'm running Neutrino CM7. the LED notifcationsettigns are definetly there. maybe it is rom dependant. Does the LED work for you if the screen in on running CM9?

I honestly haven't had a chance to test that with cm9. I load the rom and test the things that I use most in order, wifi, camera. I don't get passed the camera issue on most. That's a bug I can't live with since I take tons of pics. I will try to remember to test it out next time I flash. Im on rc1 of 7 now getting ready to update to rc2, maybe there will be something there. Where did you find the settings for it in neutrino?
Just upgraded to cm7.2 rc2 and found the screen on led setting. Works great for me. Just wish I could get a charging solid led that goes off at 100% I got spoiled from my flipside I guess but its just so much nicer to not have to turn the screen on to verify full charge. Lightflow didn't work for me.

Solution: Sony Z2 Camera. ( Black screen/Camera not available)

This is known issue that's plaguing sony Z2 camera. hardly any solution for this problem.
it's not actually an apps causing this nor the mother board is defected.
today i found the actual problem.
the Camera hardware itself is damages/broken (probably because of overheating when using 4k video or when using your phone extensively). basically replacing it would pretty much solve the problem.
anyway, i hope this helps everyone who has the same problem as i do.
cheers :highfive:
UPDATE: turns out it is just a temporary solution, as the camera failed again and the black screen came back. overheating is the cause, yep.
the camera hardware also includes the LED?
Nope. They're separate.
so i have a problem with flashlight apps too. When trying to turn off the LED it stays open. Also when starting-trying to turn it off from the quick settings menu, the led shortcut disappears. and the LED stays on. And i saw that this problem is connected with the camera. Because if it happens that the camera works well, if i use the flashlight the camera will not start. If i do not use the flashlight, the camera may work well for about 1-2 hours.

Problem with LED flash - blue tint

Hello everyone .. A few days ago I bought a second hand Huawei Mate 20 Pro, and I have issue with LED flash.
The camera itself is okay, but when shooting with LED flash on (and LED flash always on), the pictures are practically unusable, it looks like some kind of bluish filter is enabled, but it isn't.
Also, the same problem when I swipe down and turn flashlight on from the notification bar.
Is this a software or hardware problem ?
I did a factory reset but nothing.
So, this is what I'm talking about:
https://ibb.co/YhCv920 --> Flash OFF
https://ibb.co/gSdKjk1 --> Flash always ON
https://ibb.co/3YtPN7x --> Flash ON
Bump ..
Any fix for this, advice, suggestion anything ?
