Problems with the led flash of the camera :S - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having troubles with the Note 2 camera Mod. When I take a picture with flash, the photo is very dark , almost you can't see a thing. But without flash, the picture is normal. What could it be? Omega v34 syah kernel 1.8.4 installed.
I've discovered that the problem is the flash. It works well when do the autofocus thing, but when it takes the picture, the flash is really really short and with a low light. What could it be?
Thanks

[Q] SGS2 Camera DEAD...Pls HELP!

Hi all,
Well...i bought phone 3 days ago and everything was working perfectly on stock rom.Then like most of us I wanted to root phone and install custom in this case Litening rom....after that my camera is not working anymore,when I start camera its stays black and after few sec i got camera error.
I have try to install few other roms like villianrom,miui darkys etc but none help,I even try to put some diferent kernels and modems but same.
Ive noticed in some other threads that can be issue with camera firmware,in my case I dont have it in samsung apps for update.
My curently camera firmware is SCE009 and if somebody has some other like the latest one SCE002 or at least tell me where I can download I will be more than thankfull cause i think this is my only and last chance to fix camera and its little frustrating when you buy phone like this and then something is not working properly.
Thank you,Mat
Oh, really sad to hear that. That's why I hate flashing this and that.

Why bump an old thread? To answer your question, try flashing the hacked camera. Or take pictures in better light.

[SOLVED!] Black Screen on ANY Camera app after performing update VIA Kies.

But the camera is still seen to be working. When I press the 'Back' button I can see what my camera sees, on my screen for a split second before the app is closed. Doesn't matter what Camera app I use. CameraZoomFX, HDR Camera+ and Pano etc. or just the regular Camera app or whatever. They've all got a black screen now. Taking a picture results in a proper picture being taken, but the 'view finder' is basically ruined. That is, I can't see anything out of the camera before I take the picture..
Coupled with the fact that I have the same problem as this guy:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y25_jYYCnA
(and by the looks of it, many others) the 'Black spot' I think I am going to take it back and get it fixed.. Does anyone know if they just fix the phone, or if they replace it for a new one?
The version I updated my Galaxy S 2, to was XXLQ6 Build XWLPT ICS 4.0.4. via USB Kies.
Has anyone else had this happen before?
Thanks a ton...
Hi I had the exact same problem but it happened to me when I installed a custom 4.0.4 ROM with a custom 4.0.3. Kernel. Exactly the same symptoms, it was solved by using a bug fix for the siyah kernel. But now there are many custom kernel's designed for 4.0.4. so its no longer an issue. If it was me I would ditch Kies and update myself using samfirmware. Its easy loads of guidance on here about it and try some different 4.0.4 specific kernels. All the best.

Can't believe it mate but you were totally right. It was just a Kernal error. Flashed Siyah's kernel and didn't expect it to work at all but 'BAM!' rebooted the phone and everything works totally fine. I hope this thread helps anyone else in the future who gets the same problem.
You're a damn life saver mate. I was having tons of issues with this darn thing. Now my wife can finally use her phone properly again !!
Added thanks.
No problem, happy to have helped.

I just installed the official 4.0.4 rom and I also had problems with the camera on the stock kernel. While I wasn't planning to flash a custom kernel yet, I decided to go ahead. I flash Siyah 4.1.5 and lo and behold! It was fixed. Plus all the extras of Siyah.
Thanks!
As a 61 year old NOOB happily playing with myS2 GT i1900 I had this same camera problem after using the official Samsung ICS upgrade. I have spent a very frustrating 3 weeks trying to solve this until I finally found your page. I still don't really understand what a kernel is but my camera works! Thank you so much-you've made an old man very happy.

[Q] Camera Viewfinder solid white but takes pictures.

Atrix 4g, unlocked, rooted, custom rom.
When the camera app is opened it just shows white. But it takes pictures just fine. It does this with both cameras. This was happening on 2 different roms. When I flashed the second rom it worked on the first boot. but nothing else worked so I had to wipe the cache. After that all the apps work but same camera issue.
What two ROMs were that exactly?

XenonHD was one, I dont remember the other. Now I am just full of problems again. the aroma installer wont calibrate the touch, most apps stop working when started. I may need to run the aroma prep again. I think I flashed a non aroma rom at some point.
Can anyone suggest a ICS or JB rom that is the most stable. My own phone is an Galaxy S II and I never have this much trouble.

Exactly what I thought, this is exactly why I asked. You chould have at least read up on the ROM you are about to flash.
Video recording doesn't work on any ICS/JB ROMs, for reasons that have been explained countless times already.

Don't even think of comparing Atrix with SII. The fact that CM9/CM10 works on some other phone means next to nothing.

Video recording yes, I do know that. Does that mean the camera also does not work? I am talking about before you take a picture. see live through the camera.

I know that. I know it would be different. but this is rediculous. I have to use romracer CWM to flash anything, the touch setup in the aroma installer dosent work, and now the touchscreen is plotting 1cm above my finger.
Tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836674 no improvement.
open the camera app, gallery fails. soft keys cant be pressed because of the calibration issue. This seems to be common between roms. Currently waiting for a charge for fastboot. going to full erase and start from the beggining. unless someone has a better solution.

Eh, yeah. Due to lack of proper software support, the camera has a lot of various issues. Wouldn't be surprised if this is one of them too.

Sounds like you have either a dieing digitizer, or a messed up PDS. Try looking for the pds fix, it's here somewhere. If that doesn't help, then I'm afraid it might be the digitizer.

It was the PDS. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131649 worked like a breeze. Fixed every thing. Thanks, still having camera troubles. What confuses me is the camera was working on the first boot. It worked great. Then after a restart it stopped again. so now I have restored form backup and reinstalled rom. camera worked great first time. after restart its just while view finder again.

[Q] Camera app takes pictures that are wider than normal

I'm on Temasek's unofficial CM11 rom, and I have this issue which has been bugging me since half a year ago when I made the jump from rooted stock roms to AOSP roms.
Whenever I take a picture using either the front or back camera, the width of the saved picture would be so much bigger compared to the image I'll see before I take the picture, causing it to have more objects in the final picture. It's really irritating because I'll never be able to take a proper picture without having objects and people photobombing.
Does anyone else have this problem?
yeah, i'm getting the same thing on OMNI rom

Finally found someone else having the same problem! Did you ask around back then for the solution?
same
I had a slimier problem that when I use the camera and set the pic as a home wallpaper, it becomes so much bigger and couldn't modify the size.
Issue has been solved after wiping everything and re-install the same rom. So I would suggest to wipe your phone and install the rom again.
Not a rom issue..i tried switching between roms but nothing seemed to work.
i've asked in the rom thread, see what others have to say:

That's a known problem in all aosp/Google stock ROMs, included n5 stock Rom have this problem.
The problem is that the camera don't have the black frames up and down to fit the real aspect ratio of the camera to view finder
For me is a annoyed bug, but seems that no lot off people are disappointed with it because there's no fix for it
Hope someone with more android knowledge could help us

Problem with camera flash

Hello everyone, a question to all owners of SCL-L01. It happened to me yesterday to take pictures with the flash of the camera and came out with a color tending to purple. I immediately thought of a hardware malfunction but with surprise also in that of my work colleague come out like that. It does not seem normal to me, does it happen to you anyway? Attach sample file.

I tried with daylight and already it's better but I do not understand automatically because of this shade? I have an old Samsung terminal that behaves a lot better .. How are your photos?
At the moment I downloaded Footej and set it with daylight and active flash, so when I need the flash I'll take that one. I really do not understand, even my friend's Huawei Y5 device works very well.

My photos are usually fine , but honestly I don't expect much camera performance from a budget phone let alone with a custom ROM.

One moment, I am now the stock rom but I do not speak of quality in herself than to me is fine, but the flash when activated produces this horrendous purple color.
Have you tried to take a picture on a white surface with activated flash and auto-balancing? Would you be so kind to upload it here?

Thank you very much you have been very kind! At this point I think my device is faulty. I do not think it depends on the rom, I've tried different but the problem remains.

If you got time it would be best if you flashed a ROM and checked if the problem still occurs , if you don't have time the easiest option is to tweak the white balance manually .
how are you with the Viper? If I have time I want to try to install this rom and see if the problem is solved.

Pretty good , but the camera is the same as most ROMs here , below average , going to test desalesouche's latest lineage to see if it's any better .

Audio recording sounds fine from around 25cm , will try to test it.
Install both the Viper and Lineage yesterday and unfortunately the problem remains! I do not know what to think, if a defect of my device or this model has this strange feature. However, it is safe to have a white balance and when set to automatic does not work well. I downloaded yesterday I said Footej that I will use in flash mode with balancing set to daylight and the camera stock for all other situations. If there is someone else with my same "problem" I would be happy to compare myself with it.
