I have a problem. The flash light in the camera mode is disabled and the icon is grey, so I can't change it. I have installed the BsB tweak on my original rom - is it something with that?
Thankful for help!
I believe it's due to low battery. Charge your phone.
I saw that. Thank you. Sorry for bothering
Lol. I thought that myself a few days ago. I panicked a bit as well.

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...

Great.
Now, please ask some MOD to close this thread as it may bring confusion.
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 !
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581382
Yes, I did a search and I did not come up with anything. The problem I have is... when I am in camera, there are options...
auto flash
flash off and the Light feature..(where the light is on so I can see what I am taking picture of, then when I take picture it flashes..)
The flash auto works
The NO flash works
The "light" feature does NOT.
Battery is full, on charger, it's not a battery or Low power issue.
This feature works on "Camcorder," mode
This feature works on "flashlight," mode
JUst NOT on camera mode.
I always do a task 29 before flashing roms.
I have used, Artemis, Energy, and a few other roms and it's still the same issue.
Am Ilooking for something that does not exist?
This phone is new, and i CAN'T remeber if it ever worked on Tmous rom, because I just used that for 10 min before flashing.
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thanks:
The camera only has 3 options. On, Off and Auto flash. When the flash is on, that light is always on, at least on my phone... What are you trying to do?
if your batt gets below like 20% the leds will not function in order to save power

I am trying to take a picture in the 'dark," and trying to see the object, person's face etc before taking the picture. the flash when i take the picture works. I am trying to get the light to come on and stay on before the shot.
thanks for the reply.

Yea, I am aware of the 20%, my original post stated that I have in on full charge, I've had it on a charger etc. It's not a power issue, because when I switch it over to camcorder, that feature works.
It's weird..
anyhow, thanks for the reply
First, I'm running the original stock tmo ROM.
The regular still camera (not the video camera) has the 3 flash modes crisisinthecity mentioned:
On: the flash flashes for every picture you take, but isn't on until you shoot the pic
Auto: only flashes when the phone thinks it's needed
Off: no flash.
When you're using the video camera, and you hit the flash symbol, it will turn on the light even before you start recording. However, I've never seen the light come on just in regular camera mode and I've used the camera heavily since first getting the phone.
Same here... No flash until you take the picture... Stock ROM.
so, the conclusion here is that I am searching for something that doesn't exist for this phone anyway.If I remember correctly, my fuze and att tilt had the feature I was looking for.
Thanks guys for the replies.
Hi,
For two days, I have the autofocus of the camera that works all the time in standby mode only This is "click" at regular intervals
Including when I reboot, I hear just before you see the first screen of boot ...
By cons, as soon as I leave the standby mode before, no problem except that the camera is no longer the point, the autofocus does not work ...
And really weird is that this "click" I think varies according to the occupation of the CPU because if I leave an application running and I goes to sleep, I do not hear it!
I made a task29, wipe all over the place, install new rom, and also an original rom ... Even removing the phone to see if something was not disconnected but I have not found.
Do you have an idea how to cope ?
Or maybe a way to reset the memory lowest level because I think it is software, not hardware (well I think).
Thank you to those who can give me help.
Regards.
good post
good post

Always the same problem with a fresh install of sense 3 with last kernel of Rafpigna...
no one has ever had this problem of noise camera in standby mode or to boot the phone?
Is it possible that this is a hardware problem?
What is really strange is that as soon as I get out of standby mode, the noise stops! And when I want to take a picture, the autofocus does not work ...
Task29 can't help me... Always the same issue... I tried WM7 I know it's sad but it does not change (I did not expect less).
No one can help me ??
...saw a post of a xda member with the same issue on the typhoon some months ago.
He made a video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46hRUY89A0E
..do youve got the same issue?
will it also autofocus all time when you dont got a rom installed?
Hi j4n87,
This is exactly the same problem, I can see the lens moving like that...
this is just since a week. it worked fine before !
This is after installing a version MIUI (when I had already installed several versions before without problems).
I try everything but I can not recover the normal operation of the camera.
Can you help me more ??
Thank you.
Regards.

I found that if I put in airplane mode, so no use of radio, there is no noise of the autofocus ...
I will try to degraded version of the radio to see if it changes something.
Alas no, it does not change, still the noise of the camera.
RESOLVED...
yay it works thanks to Dimension2035 (thank you very much for his invaluable help).
This is what to do:
- To MAGLDR
- Download the version of tytung
- Make the phone operational by using a little (there is always noise)
- Remove the battery overnight: miracle, everything works.
I'm really happy.
Here is the solution.
Regards and again thanks to Dimension2035

Hello,
I just bought a501 about 3 weeks ago. It's my first ever android based gadget. As a new user, i really like to download and try so many free apps (some of them i don't need).
Two days ago i found out that the LED light randomly blinking. After that, i uninstall apps that use LED light. I tought the problem is from the apps. But until now, i still have the problem.
Does anyone know how to resolve it? Thanks
ps.: i don't root

WHAT???? NO ROOT????
Ok, as far as I know, there are only 2 lights on the 501. The flash on the back, and the PWR button. So the question, which one is it?
If it's the PWR button, it has 2 colors. Orange and white.Usually if it's orange, it means the tab is charging. White means the display is on for a brief time, or it's fully charged. What color is it flashing?
If it wasn't doing it before, it's quite possible some notification app caused it. Maybe some Wifi or GPS app, or sms app. Not really sure, as I haven't noticed it. Also, if the light occassionally comes on, I usually pay it no attention.
What i mean with LED light is the flashlight for camer, not the light on power button.
Since i wrote in this forum, dunno how, the problem is gone...
But i'm still curious, what made the light flashing randomly. Even after i uninstalled apps which use LED light...

Probably some leftover code from some apps. Maybe cached. Really hard to tell. But the problem is over now, so no worries.
Personally, I try and avoid things that interface with the hardware. USB apps, SD card enhancers, and especially kernels (unless you know what you're doing). Typically these things leave residual lib files and scripts behind, which can interfere with other installed apps, and can cause unexpected results, usually none of which are good .
Example; you install a kernel, which uses some specific scripts run from init.d (same goes for some custom roms) folder. And the kernel doesn't live up to your expectations. So you flash a different kernel. Well the new one, doesn't use those specific scripts, but yet, they are still being called upon and still in the folder, and never deleted. Then things act funky.
At the first sign of bad behavior, uninstall the most recently installed app. Then work backwards. Or if you are rooted, and have CWM or RA Recovery installed, make a system or nand back-up of a good working system. Then when things go south, as they sometimes will, you can restore that image.
