Hi,
does anyone know how to programmaticaly switch on camera's flash LED? Especially at Wizard..

saman-cz: there are at least two other threads on this topic. No one has progressed far so far it seems.

Sorry, I used search on camera and led keywords and got no answer..

No problem, you weren't to know.
Try searching for "flashlight".

Camera Problem

Well I just got my JasJar and when I press the camera the app comes up and then nothing but a black screen. Is there any software update out there? The camera that is on the screen works but not the one on the back.

Indentical Problem with XDA EXEC CAMERA
Dear Sir:
I am writing from Brazil. I have the same problem with my XDA Exec Camera.
I tried 3 diferent rom update, and nothing appear, like your.
Did you already found the solution ?
Is a hardware problem ?
Can I solve myself ?
Kind Regards,
Carlos Eduardo Pacheco
just a stupid question but... do you have removed any possible cover or case from the focus?? just in case..

I am having the samem problem. Is there anything I can download to correct this?
Nothing in the way of the screen.
I have not found a solution to the camera problem. There is nothing in the way of the lens. I have not taken the phone apart to see if maybe a cable is unplugged or such. I really do not think it would be that simple anyway. Once I buy my next phone I will try it out but for now I just wait to see if a good ROM might fix the problem.
In my jasjar cam goes almost fine, but only with 640x480. If configure largest not take pics :evil:

How to enable camera light

Hi
Can any body tell me how to enable camera's light on my MDA ?
http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJCandela
Doesn't work for me. You may have better luck. Be careful and do not leave the light on for extended amounts of time.
outside the basic open up the camera program (default htc one) and click on the flash button...i haven't seen any real cabs for it, except vijay...but i believe that just makes your screen all white, which is bright enough like a light...
No, VJCandela doesn't and has never supported the Wizard.
I don't have a wizard to play with, so could never test code I've written.
I think I know how to do it, but won't write it 'till I can test it.
Hopefully one day!

Problem with my Front Sensor

Hi every one,
My Hermes' Front Sensor has got some problems
I use Web Camera to open Front Sensor and i can only see a mass of purple very very unclear image through it.
And the last time i use web camera to check Front Sensor i didn't find such a problem, everything goes well.
If there any bugs in the Front Sensor ?
Thanks !
no one knows....?
bless...
Bump
The same thing has happened to me. I have tried it on different roms, including one I know it worked on before, so it must be a hardware issue. Could this be caused by a loose connector or something with a simple fix like that?
I dont want to take my phone apart if theres no chance of fixing it anyway.
Maybe people are confused by the term "Sensor"?
I will assume you meant the Front Camera.
If so, then yes the connector can come loose. It is a simple push on connector, but you do have to dismantle quitefar to get to it.
Have a look here:

Assuming you have been through soft and hard resets, you MIGHT want to attempt dismantling the phone.

Well, I got ss1271 by email and I'm confused (nothing unusual there you may think!!) What he says is this:
Sorry for that I cannot have an access to this xda-developers forum right now, but I'll check it asap.
Well, I mentioned "sensor" which refers to the sensor module that located right of the earphone( a transparent some cube-like stuff), not the front camera.
Whatever, I'm very glad that u could gimme a possible answer, thanks in advance!!

(Hope you don't mind me posting the email ss1271 - nothing looked private or confidential)
Can anybody think what is being referred to? I know there is a keyboard light sensor, but that seems irrelevant so what is being referred to?
Any ideas?
Mike
Thanks Mike, you were right the first time, it is the front camera. The confusion has come about because Ateksoft refer to it as the front sensor in their webcamera software, and as that and coolcamera are the only software other than video-calling which can use the front camera, that is where both ss1271 and myself discovered the problem.
I have opened my phone up once a while back, but am not in a hurry to do it again until I have a serious need to use the front camera.
I actually used your guides when I opened up my phone before, and will again if I try to solve this before I upgrade, (too poor to at the moment), so thanks for providing them.
Heres a pic of me taken with my front cam.

Actually I kinda like that pic. Almost psychadeli.. what ya ma call it! But does it improve on reality??
Mike
Well you can't tell that I haven't had a shave today, so there are some benefits. I could make it my profile pic, but I rather like hoagy, what do you reckon?
To get back on topic, do you think that it is a loose connector, is this something you have come across before?

Well hoagy looks fine!
The push in connector is the most obvious first thing to check in my view. The trouble is loose connectors can show a host of different scrambled pictures and weird colours and missing lines. Can't recall one that vivid shade before but I've seen bright green
I guess the standard thing is just ensure it's not software by doing a hard reset (but I guess you have done that already)

Hi Mike,jez
First i apologize for my mistaken the Hermes with the Touch Diamond.
When I first got Mike's mail, I took it grant to think that Mike was talking about the Diamond issue...
I'm sorry for you two guys to get confused.
Now I'll clearify that in this thread I was discussing about the FRONT CAMERA of Hermes.
and unfortunately I eventually cannot fix the front camera problem.

dispaly spv3100 white

hello everyone I have a problem with my spv 3100 quite often, I become completely white dipslay I have to turn off and turn it back normal what could be?
There are many threads about this. Please use one of them. Here's a prime example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321163
I refer to this thread because it is the summary of our knowledge (such as it is) on the "physical" white screen issue. No perfect answers and no perfect solutions (but things that have worked for some)

[IDEA] Led as Light and Proximity Sensors

I'm not a Developer, but reading some information (i.e. http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Learning/LEDSensor ) I thought that if the leds of our phone (I'm thinking about the G1, 'cause I have it ) is connected to a pin that can be input and output at the same time, we may use it as a Light Sensor! But we need some dev that gives sw support for it...
And then, we may tell Android that the behaviour of the Light Sensor has to invert when we answer a call, and then we have a Proximity Sensor!
If someone could implement this, the devices that doesn't have a Light or Proximity Sensor could have something like it! And we just need a led!
It's just an Idea, but I think it could be awesome. What do you think about that?
[EDIT] we may need to see how long a led takes to shut himself down, and use the data to tell the system to change the backlight... using GPIO controls? [/EDIT]
yeah, thats not bad of an idea. I came from windows mobile and devs made an app for this exact purpose. maybe someone can do it for android as well.
I talked to a person that develops for embedded systems and I he said it would be difficult... He had no good result... But I don't think we're lost, if you say that it's really possible, maybe we can do it
haha i know its possible because it has been done and works on the Touch HD (my prev device) which coincidentally has the same hardware as the Hero. Its a definite possiblity, just that I don't know anything about writing programs for Hero. But my guess is that root access would be a must since you're modifying the usage of the light sensor
Then we just need devs!
Try asking the Dev that made the Leds flash for Sdcard activity, it looks really cool when you use it:

But it's not the same thing, I may ask but now we need to use the led to capture light, not to send it...
