Warning!!! New Camera Fix fr HTC makes LED flash useless - HD2 General

Warning!! Do not install the new HTC Camera fix for HD2, it disable my HD2 LED flash, i can't turn it on now even after removing the FIX...
Anyone has any solution for this?

Is your battery level below 30%?

Is your battery above 30%?
Oh... someone beat me to it.

My flash is fine...

I've got the fix installed and my flash is working as before (way too bright btw)
Is your battery below 20% (well I think it's 20%)? In which case the flash won't work.
Edit: too slow

It's not by installing the hotfix but may be by installing it.
Have u tried another softreset/hard reset?
Just now I took few photos to check and I don't have issues with flash.

I remember the battery needs to be >50% for the flash to work.

Mmm... how about this: test it when the battery is fully charged

thks guys...my battery was below 20%, after charging its ok now...i reinstalled the Fix, its ok now...

camera flash issue

Hello to everybody.
I have rom 1.48 and some programs installed (BsB and net 3.5 above all plus some games). I installed also the hotfix for the camera but now my xenon flash seems to be dead. When I turn on the camera, the flash butto remains always off even if I try pressing the flash button. I don't think it's a hardware problem but software or maybe registry because if I use TorchButton program, the leds are working properly (bright, SOS and so on).
I there anybody able to help me?
I thank you in advance and thanks to ALL the mebers of XDA.
All the best.
Is your battery low? I know the flash gets turned-off when the battery is low.
it was above 10% (the first warning level). but after your advice I will try again when is above 50% at least and I will post here...

I think the flash stops working @ 30% battery level.
phew...!!!
ok guys, everything is gonna be alright....
I waited patiently and checked every 1% step up on the battery level...
Below 20% the flash is automatically turned off...
thanks to all for the quick replies..
bye
so not a problem or issue but speaking of camera flash, does anyone know if theres a program to use it as a flashlight only? i mean, i could always open up the camera program and turn it on from there...
search in the forum for TorchButton program... it works perfectly
Does it ? It does not work on mine ..
Oh .. there is a new version, which works !

[Q] After booting in to android my phone just vibrats and shuts off?

I dont understand i have tried everything! I must be missing something
I have booted before with no problems aside from the robo voice
I come home in hopes to fix it and now no matter what build i use no matter what zimage i use the phone boots like normal in to Android and then just shuts down.... What am i missing here?
Spent all Morning Flashing rom and radio combos and still the same thing, Reformatted my sd card Nothing.
NO HELP?
this happened to me when i started using my extanded battery, no matter what i did it boots vibrates then shuts, im back to my normal battery all the builds work now, i figured out that the extended battery might need a driver or something.
here the same! with original battery is working
With extanded battery is shutting down! in one line by booting with haret
Chragin off (temp overheat)
battery working with
desirebuild_v5
battery dosent work with
mattcfroyorc1.4
mattcfroyorc1.3a
Wow never even thought about changing back to a stock battery. Or even mentioning that i again
This happened to me when I had a multi-boot program installed on the winmo side. Uninstalled it- booted just fine.
there have been a couple of threads with the same issue.. the devs have been asked about it.. nothing heard back as yet.. but it definitely it is an extended battery that is causing it
Yes the extended battery is it. I read it somewhere in the forums that it is not supported yet as there are no drivers and due to which while booting haret reads the battery temp to be 90 while it actually being ~30 and hence cant boot.
Replace it with stock and you are good to go
Mine is still the stock battery and still does the same thing for all versions of ROM and android too..

[Q] Fast battery discharge

My Nexus 4 is just over a year old. It has been performing really well throughout this period. A month back, the soft buttons on the screen stopped working and I got the screen replaced. The phone was working very well even after this. I am running only the stock Android. I haven't rooted the phone yet.
Over the last few days, the battery discharge has been fast and unpredictable. I have attached the Battery screenshot. I shall explain the sequence of events to describe the screenshot.
The battery goes from 40-50 to 0 in one go! (the first downward steep drop). Phone had already switched off. I connected it to a charging point and restarted the phone.
While the phone was being charged (the slow upward red slope), I did some research on this. Since, Google Play Services was consuming most of the battery, the following solution seemed to be good to follow.
(Disable Hangouts, sign out of Google+, turn ON Location Reporting, reboot, then reenable Hangouts and sign back into G+),
I tried this. Once I rebooted, the battery power was 56% !! (The steep upward climb)
I used it for some time. And kept it on charge to charge it completely. But after some time, the battery charge dropped to 19% (the second drop in the screenshot). I rebooted the phone again. And this resulted in the next battery charge spike upto 45%!!
I tried searching for Hangouts app or Google+ app on the phone. But they no longer exist in the app drawer.
Is this a battery issue? Or some software issue? Should I try a factory reset?
Edit1: Added a larger image of the battery stats.

That is some really strange behavior. It either can be a software or a hardware issue.
You may do a factory reset and install a factory image. Be sure that you charge your batterie to maximum first before doing the reset. If there is still this drops than it mostly is a hardware issue. Replacing the batterie could help.
Also a huge N4 fan. High five for that! ;D

Yes. Concerned about the battery
I havent rooted the phone. Would I need to do that for installing a factory image?
P.S. I have added another image with a better depiction of the battery behavior.

You just need an open bootloader. Root is not required.

Wouldn't a simple factory reset from the phone's menu suffice? What is the difference?
Like I said before, try a normal factory reset first and if this does not work then flash a factory image. In the most case a normal factory reset will do.
The difference between a reset and a factory image is like a white shirt you are washing. A reset is like putting this shirt in the washing machine if it has stains. It will be white and clean again. But after some time those stains wouldn't go away completely and your white shirt isn't that white like before anymore. Flashing a factory image will be like buying a new white shirt.
@harishvr9: If you want to be 100 sure it is not a software issue, you should flash the latest factory image on your phone with fastboot. For this, you will need a working fastboot or (Android SDK) on your computer, the N4 factory image from HERE and being able to boot into bootloader mode (VolDown+Power).

@CCody and @Erovia .. pls Help ..
I unlocked the bootloader. But when I am trying to flash the factory image via flash command i get this response.
""flash is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file".
What did I do wrong? Fastboot.exe is there in the sdk/platform-tools folder.
Now I am stuck on the "Lock State - Unlocked " screen
Edit - Got it working !! Thanks a ton! Will report whether it worked or not
@harishvr9: The easiest way is to run the flash-all.bat (on Windows) or the flash-all.sh (Linux/OSX). It will flash the bootloader, the radio, reformat your partitions and copy the files on them.

I am back with an update. I had installed the factory image of 4.4.3 stock android. The system notified me about an update and the notification was lingering on the screen. So I ran the update. The weird thing was that the battery was at 85% before it restarted. After it updated and rebooted, the battery was at 36%!
Now what does this infer? Battery issue? Or 4.4.4 update issue?
Thanks in advance for the support !!
Why didn't you flash the 4.4.4?
Anyway, charge it to 100% and see what happens.

I would suggest to try this ROM out for a few days and if this issue still occurs, than it is no doubt this is a hardware issue.
Have you already charge your batterie to maximum once?

Did you mean to say 4.4.2 or 4.2.2 ? Guess 4.4.2 ran well on my device.

Battery drains like whatever...

I've tried two different ROMs but the problem with battery seems to be in two of the latest Roms one is near 2.5.4 (the latest one if I quoted wrong) and second one is X-note v4 and now v7 these are ones that happen to have battery draining problem.
It happens whenever i use camera and then close or get out of it and after an hour or so whenever i check all ic is my battery is dead. Is there some fix for this problem or are we stuck with it forever?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Bump
It's a 4.4.2 firmware problem. This qq camera daemon makes phone hot and drains battery like hell. Sonetimes i have same problem: the only temporaly fix for me is to pull the battery out of phone for a few mins
I'm looking for proper fix is there any fix that can take care of this forever? You need not to take battery just restart your phone or max shutdown that will do the job till next time.. wonder what is causing all this and how can it be few of us only? Whilst the firmware is out in millions of phones in various varieties of phones...
We really need this fix if anyone has fixed this issue please share so others like us can benefit...
Thanks
Still looking for fix...

Nexus 4 Only working when plugged in with charger

Hello fellow xders, I have a problem with my nexus 4, I've tried almost everything but nothing really works, let me tell you the previous build when it's working normally.
When working:
*Unlocked & rooted.
Rom: CM 13 Rom nightly build
Kernel: CM 13 stock Kernel
Recovery: TWRP 2.8
Everything works fine for some months until 2 days ago I tried my nexus for VR using Google Cardboard that I bought online.
After using it, my phone starts turning off by itself randomly, and now I can't even boot to my rom without my charger plugged in.
I've wipe everything, using my new TWRP 3, I mean everything, even my internal storage, but the phone still won't work without the charger plugged in.
So i thought, maybe it's the battery. Please note that my phone never had any problems before, I mean ever.
So i thought battery is the problem, but turns out I can boot to my recovery rom all the time without a problem, the phone turn off by itself only when I tried to install the new CM13 rom, the same thing happened when I tried install another rom.
Does anyone ever have this kind of problem before, i really need help, thanks.
With the phone powered off, does the LED come turn on after inserting the charging cable?

No, it's not turned on like usual. and when i tried to do "Data Format" in TWRP 3.0, it gives an Error, something like /dev error 255, i don't remember the whole line.
It's probably something to do with the memory card error perhaps? What do you think?
Now I downgraded back my phone to stock condition, i unrooted everything, even locked my bootloader back.
Now i'm using stock android 5.1.1, with factory settings, here's some condition I noticed with stock factory settings:
1. I still can't boot properly to my stock rom without the charging cable plugged in. It only shows boot animations for a while and suddenly phone turned off by itself.
2. I can boot into the stock rom with my charger cable plugged in, and after I get inside the stock rom, I can unplugged the cable and everything seems to work normally. So I don't think it's battery problem.
3. I think the problem has something to do with the boot sequence / internal memory / internal memory partition / block, cmiiw
Please help me, I don't know why things go like this after using VR cardboard, I wonder if it's the cause.
Thanks a lot for your reply, sorry for my bad english
After booting into stock, how quickly does the battery drain?

and it's probably caused by the accelometer, it's just my hunch, but when I changed my ROM to CM13, my phone won't auto rotate automatically. probably the CM 13 kernel didn't handle the accelometer correctly. and when I use it for 360 video which use accelometer rigorously, it makes the accelometer worked too hard or something, or the cm 13 kernel didn't handle it correctly and it affect my whole hardware. it's just shooting in the dark, but i hope it helps you with more information a little bit.

i haven't tried using it for the whole day, but for the past 2 hours it works fine without charging. the drained percentage is also very small, because i don't have many apps installed yet, and i didn't even use cellular data connection. but for phone call or sms it's working perfectly without any problem

but despite everything, you're right about one thing, my LED doesn't turn on when charging, it's not usually like this. i didn't notice this before, what does it mean?
Wow, this is strange and it does appear that the battery is fine. I don't know what else to suggest as you did everything I would have done.

The lack of a led when charging is normal in a stock rom.

Hmm, never tried to recalibrate an accelerometer.
I have the same problem, the device just works plugged in charger. I read some threads and the problem in all thread are solved with a battery replacement.
Yep, I'm afraid this is indeed a battery problem. Had the same issue with mine Nexus, it worked as usual, then it suddenly went off and didn't want to boot again without the charger plugged in. Worked perfectly in a recovery, though. Replacing the battery fixed the problem.

No, but my Nexus have this issue just recently. A service shop says this is a motherboard issue, I hope isn't. The devive has exactly the same problem in this thread, and I read others similar threads and all were solved changing the battery.
(Sorry for my imperfect English, I not speak english naturally)
I wouldn't trust a repair shop to properly diagnose the issue as it was really only discovered from trial and error.
Batteries should be cheap and fix the issue. either at a repair store if that's what you tell them to do or do it yourself
One question: Should my phone be with the stock rom when the battery is changed? Have any relation or possible problem if another rom is installed?
