Unfortunately I have, it was the first one I tried. Thanks
hmm.. i just remember something
the Flash in this phone is a REAL Xenon flash, it's not just a LED light like the other phones
so i don't think any app will make it work at all
even if it does, it will just be a pop of light ever few sec
as it needs to charge up then pop the xenon
see http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/X...ervices/Mobile-Phones/ci.MOTO-XT720-XW-EN.alt

8MP, Digital Zoom with Xenon Flash

but i thought links to app brain was not accepted here?

Thanks for the useful info!!! Sucks it has to be that way!
don't give up yet
maybe try to find a similar nokia app that reaperzero was talking about
personally i've not seen it
Nokia X6 have led flash , not xenon flash...
I can only imagine that even if the xenon flash did have the physical capability to stay on to be used as a flash light, that the battery would be dead in 10 seconds because of the power needed.
There are several free apps on the market that make the screen show a full white image. That's the best you're going to get with our devices.
Sent from my computer. I'm not cool enough to use the app.

True.
A xenon needs to power up first, aided by a capacitor, then just blast the light. It can't retain the light for long. Imagine, the brightness of the xenon can fill a whole room.
As for reaperzero's X6, if you mean this

It doesn't have xenon flash.
Just for sharing, I use "Color Flashlight", it's a good app.

Lol mistake on my part. Haven't had that old piece of junk for awhile. Forgot that its just leds
If we ever will have a flashlight app, someone needs to write it especially for the XT720, and make it access the focus assist led. Sure, it's red, but check by yourself how bright it actually is in a dark room!
+1 on the app Color flashlight, very bright using the screen, and has other functions too, I've had lots of laughs with the "word scroller" having profanity words blinking or scrolling on the screen...
Actually, I dig the idea of a red flashlight.
Who says it needs to be white? I would definitely use a red flashlight.
i agree with the idea too
maybe we can get some DEV interested on this
Right! It's bright, it's red, let's ask some dev to use it as a flashlight
I agree too

Wow, you mean I actually had a good idea?
So, I have no idea how to develop an app, but I think it would be closely related to the camera functions, are we talking about Continius autofocus maybe?
How does one go about to ask/request an dev to build such an app?

Alright, since people obviously want to put their own ideas out there for this, and since I feel dexter shouldn't be bugged right now, I've decided to open this thread as an idea list, just for suggestion, and depending on how well dexters success is with this phone, maybe we can cook up something good.

Insert the possibility to use flash in camera mode and a pocket torch app will be great.
Not sure if this subject has been broached, but is there a way to get the flash on the cam to flash just once, instantly... Not that red eye... Then flash... ? Just a thought not a request.

I do agree some work needs to go here, but it uses the flash to adjust focus and other settings too. What would be nice is a delay or multi-flash like actual cameras have to reduce red eye. Not sure if the hardware is capable though. The flash on just about all smartphones is way different than one on a camera.
Hello,
I'm from India and I recently updated to Android JB. It is full of bugs though. I recently developed this problem with the front facing camera.
The camera doesn't adjust to the ambient light. Meaning, it is very dark inside an average lit room and flush with light outdoors.
It basically looks like having very low exposure indoors and lots of exposure outdoors.
Anyone knows the solution?
Please help. I regret buying this phone. This is the 2nd major problem after the charging issue I had.
I can attach images if you want.. Please.. someone help..
Do a data wipe. If it doesn't make a difference, then flash the rom again or try another 4.1.2 rom.

dont regret anything, the sg3 is an awesome device, you bettr try flashing another ROM, I use crdoid max, this one includes the camera of the note 2, try it, or any other rom, maybe this will work for you, experimenting is part of the fun, the very act of visiting this forum tells that youre interested in the insights of this kind of devices, so, try with some ROMS, and have no regrets
Thank you guys.. I'll try and revert back to the original ICS.. It was better in many ways.. I'll keep you posted if it works out..Thank you once again..
Hi,
I bought a S2 a month ago. The phone is rooted and I currently have a CM Rom (the official one for the i9100 - 10.1.3.i9100 - Android 4.2.2).
The camera always worked fine but after a while the front camera ceased working.
I can the front camera with no problem whatsoever but as soon as I try to use the front camera it does work, the app freezes and says: "The gallexy has stopped bla bla bla..."
I went and searched the web, lots of guys get this fixed by clearing the data/cache or whatever, but nothing has been working for me...
I tried a different ROM, making a totally clean install - but still nothing - I also have already tried a bunch of updates im the original CM Rom (RC, Stable and nightly) and I never get the camera to work nor does it work a single time...
Can you guys help me?
Thanks.
Install another free camera application like camera 360 and see if it is working with that or not?

Nope, only the custom app gives me that error. All other apps arent just able of providing an image - (Skype, Camera Zoom Fx etc..)

What a really old thread... but yeah, the apk provided there can be installed but when I open it forces close saying the app is crashed.
I've now went to 4.3.1 (latest version of CM) and updated the Gaaaps to the correct version... the problem is still there.
I see this problem on lots of different threads and lots of this people just seem to accept that they have no front camera anymore, lol...
...also been looking for a way to install Samsung Apps on my S2 but it seems to be impossible on a non-stock ROM.
Going all the way back to STOCK and them trying to do something about the camera firmware (trough Samsung Apps) and then going to CM again is something which I'm reticent to do, mostly because I don't even know if this is really a firmware problem...
Back to Stock...

So... I went all the way back to STOCK... I now can input the codes discussed on that thread
Cam FW Ver: SBEF02
Phone FW Ver: TBEC28
It looks like this module has a really bad reputation, still it bothers me... Most people on that post complain about pink dots, lag, shuttering etc... I'm only lacking on a front camera... The focus on the front camera was slow sometimes, yes. But most of the times I had no problem making a movie or taking a picture...
I had a front camera and now I dont...
WTF!?
Any insights and/or advise?
BTW I tested *#0*# (a so called LCD TEST appears) and went I try Front cam it says: "camera failed"...
I picked this phone over the front camera... I'm seriously mad.
When you go back to stock firmware did you wipe data after flashing using odin?

Yeah I did. I had access to the front camera on all roms: since stock and then into Cyanogen... When I upgraded to the latest version I also had no problem using the front cam but one day it just went dead.
I've already changed ROM/Kernel a bunch of times so I can pretty much rule out software (?)
I'm really not in the mood to go to Samsung and have all the trouble of losing my phone for a month (in the best case scenario) and having to unroot it and re-stock it again...
The front camera module is a really cheap part and my next step would be to open the damned phone and just retry to reassemble the module it self...
From there I'll order a new one (if I find that my current one is properly assembled and just malfunctioning)...
Am I going too fast? Is there any way to completely rule out a software issue?
Thanks
PS. I need to point out that the camera didn't stopped working "after a ROM change"... It actually stopped working DURING a rom (CM official nightly).

I'm not enough of an expert to tell you what causes this problem, but I know many ROMs contain the fix for it already, and some offer an additional download for the focus fix if it's needed. So just have a look through the ROM threads, I know one ROM has a download with a focus fix kernel to download as well, I'm not for a second saying that kernel would work on your ROM, but if you've got TWRP and a full backup and stuff, if you can't find out if it will work with your ROM, then flashing it anyway won't do any lasting harm I don't think, you'd just have to restore your backup, but don't hold me to that lol.
Heyyo, are you using official EUI ROM 19s or a different one?
If official? Hmm that's really not good as it means your camera actuator is defective... Some people say shaking the phone helps.. others say reverting to an ancient version of EUI ROM like 14s and using camera there and then going to EUI ROM 28s... But no idea if it would help you. If not? It's definitely hardware and would require replacing the camera module.
Going back to stock then settling for 20s fixed the camera for me.
Camera was working fine with Cuoco92 23s then suddenly stopped focusing.
Upgrade to 28s did not work.
Factory reset - flash to Cuoco92 14s (camera still not focus)
Then flash to Cuoco92 28s - camera works now.
Dont know why but this info might helps someone.
Camera is poor and barely supported, this is currently biggest disadvantage. As hardware is relatively poor, camera is very easy to scratch, software support is poor too, for example panorama will be always out of focus, movies have crazy focus jumping, under or over exposed in case when light conditions change during filming, also pictures are always relatively poor quality.
Just use other phone to make photo, if you can't live with that, x2 is not for you. I'm lucky I am not getting "focus issue" mentioned, but all other issues as I said makes camera rather poor.

yep, you are absolutely right.
And I guess I spoke too soon about the "camera focus fix". The issue reappears after two days. Never quite understand how it could be working one day and not the next.

Does the same apply to Lineage 15.1?
This happened to me on a resurrection remix nougat ROM randomly one day after working flawlessly for several months. Updated to AospExtended and then tried flashing a fix, but issue was still not solved. Personally this problem doesn't make the phone unusable, but it is annoying when I want to take an occasional picture of a nice car or a moment in life.
