Hi everyone.
My xperia x10 camera doesn't flash while taking a photo. The Led light at the back is just in on state but doesn't flash. In advance settings, when I select photo light as "on" the light powers up but when I take a photo it doesn't flash as it does in Nokia N95 or Htc Desire. Does anyone else has the same problem ?
It doesn't flash, the X1 didn't flash and neither does the X10... It's a light you can enable it via the Camera menu.
I don't know what Sony has against flashes... but they have something.
Hope SE fix that **** with next update.
yes that's so irritating :S do we have any good software to take photo.. X10 default one is not so good :/
I believe it's a limitation of android 1.6,

yes it's a limitation to 1.6
another reason to root the x10, roll on 2.1!!!
it works on x10 mini !

Yeah, well. ****sux. lol Don't know if the hardware is limited to on only. Desire has an insane flash but the LED isn't all that strong with flashlight apps.
It's not a flash.
It's a photo light.
I actually made my x1 led flash by one of the custom Rom but I can't recall which one

yeah i guess you are right
I think SE will not put a flash in the coming update

it isn't a OS limitation.. it's a bad implementation. Other devides with 1.5 and 1.6 have autoflash
are there any workarounds out there to make the camera light flashes instead of keep shining when taking photos in dark environments, especially in a club or something.. it is quite blinding for people whom u are taking pics for and the photo turned up wif everyone frowning and wif smaller eyes as they were fighting to keep their eyes opened...
You can use Vignette & select auto flash. It will do a flash. But its a fked up flash
use the vignette app
Vignette is awesome!!! So much better than the default program... I'm getting the full version... thanks everyone for ur advise!!!

Sorry, that made me laugh. I haven't used Vignette but what's actually wrong with the flash it causes? Is it because the led in the X10 isn't so powerful?
I agree with everyone else though. My W810 had a flash and my C905 of course has a realer flash. While I was expecting one at least functionally similar to the former phone it is only listed as a photo light and behaves as such.
Is it me or can we only find the Demo version in the market? The full paying version seems to be not available anymore?!

does the x1 have a flash for the camera, or am i just being dumb
????

X1 has a photolight (LED).
but can the photolight be made to act as a flash?

have you not even read the manual?

That's as good as it gets I'm afraid.
I totally agree the flash on this device is annoying. Lets hope they bring out an update to the camera app to fix this little fault.
I just cant help thinking if only Sony had talked to HTC a bit more and stuck a cybershot on this device would be so much better..

Aye, a k800i xenon flash and camera would've done wonders compared to the current camera. It's a shame such a high-end device has such poor image/video recording really.
Just received a new vignette.apk file from the developer of Vignette that fixes the problem of the flash not working after upgrade to android 2.1.
Guess it will be available on marked soon.
Thats good to know, I was pretty disappointed that SE hadn't implemented a flash into camera function I'll keep my eye on the market
Yep I can confirm that as I received the same APK via the email, and now the auto-flash is back again
Hope it will be available for others in the market soon

I'm still waiting for a way to be able to edit the contrast. They mentioned that the reason why they haven't yet was because the APIs weren't released. That'd make it the perfect app!
No APK in my email

I've explained it before, but, basically, the LED on the X10 isn't bright enough to actually be a flash. Thus, it's a picture light. The way Vignette works is it turns on and off the LED in a manner simulating a flash, but not actually with the brightness or intensity of a true flash.
One of the bigger drawbacks about the X10, really.... weak LED.

Thats good news for some I guess....I don't use flash on my X10...I find the flash is utterly useless. The flash I had on my K-790a would light up a whole room where the X10 flash just seems like a dim blue. I dont know why they wouldnt have given the X10 the same flash as some of there other phones...OR am I possibly missing a setting?
Hi guys,
Can you please let me know if it's normal to have only a 777 score on Quadrant with Froyo 2.2 on Dell Streak?
I've just got the phone and haven't done anything to it until now.
What are the main things I should look after to improve performance, launchers...and so on?
Is there an easy guide on how to root it? Can I get back to stock if I want to return it to warranty?
Thanks for helping a noob fellow on Dell Streak. I was using HD2 until now and moved to Streak...but i'm a bit dissapointed.
777...thts around how much u r gonna get on the official 2.2....when i was on it it used to avg around 850...
what u can do is either use the performance fix found in this forum( actually go to streak android development)...just scroll down..ull find a thread titled 2.2 performance fix....and install it based on whichever baseband u r on...
or else u cud try going to steve's 1.5.1 version, instructions for which can also be found in this forum...
and obviously u can get it back to stock config whenevr u want if u ever need to do tht for warranty reasons...

Is there also a camera fix? It does extremely bad pictures in low-light. Even the HD2 I had with android did better pictures. Or perhaps another camera app?
thanks a lot mate.

well there is no such camera fix...i have to agree, streak doesnt have the best 5 megapixel camera...sometimes my 3.5 mp cam on my 5800 outperforms it in low light conditions...
there are some camera apps....i have only used 1 so far...called as camera 360...u can find it on the market...u can add lots of effects to photos..u can chk it out...
DO you mind taking a picture in a completely dark room and share with me? mines have a green tint on them as if they were taken with a night vision camera. Many thanks in advance mate!
Will try doing later..am out at the momemt..

well more than getting a night vision kinda photo my photos show nuthin....the flash is too weak to capture an entire room space...
results are better if u have an object a few feet away...
and also the green comes if the autofocus hasnt happened properly....atleast for me....
will post pics later if u want...
well, streaks definitely not a substitute for a digital camera especially in low light and dark conditions...
but then, thts not the reason why I ( and I am sure several others) bought it,,
ok i had my X8 about a month ago and since then i tried every ROM that's out there literally. Recently i settled to froyobread for about 10 days and now floyo 0.25
my problem in both is the cam after taking a few shots, the camera screen black out or the cam button dies on me and i really hate it
i take a lot of pictures and i just hate it when the prefect shot gets lost because of a stupid glitch. i can give away EdgeGlow if there is a ROM that has a fully working cam with no bugs.
the reason for the thread is to ask u X8 users instead of going all over the ROMs again ( i still have them all ) to see the stable cam, Could anyone tell me what's the best ROM to take pictures with?? and please don't tell me to go back to Eclair (2.1)
thank u all

ok just to make everyone aware, the problem is persistent even in market cam apps, i tried all the above apps. i guess it's the hardest if not impossible to operate the cam blindly just by guessing parameters in custom roms; gingerbread now is a live example.
anyway i would never back to eclair so i'll have to deal with that bug for now.

like i said i tried all the ROMs but then i wasn't testing all the things but i remember ditching minicm because the power gadget looked like it lacked some colors or scaled up. i guess it's because of the screen size difference between X8 and X10 mini. however i remember the beautiful animations especially for boxes popping up.
just plz confirm that i can take like 10 shots in succession (say with 1 sec delay) without the cam bugging on me
Forget the stock camera apps and use Camera Illusion.
It´s better, doesn´t have errors and has great effects, like negative and that stuff.
I do experienced the same thing..
try other alternative. I'm using Camera Advance Lite, it works perfect.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mnapps.cameraadvancelite
This is the same thing which happens with me. I tried using alternative camera apps like vignette but still the same problem.
After some shots, the camera just blacks out and you cannot take any pics after that until a reboot is made.

i'm having the very same problem after few shots is taken the camera just blacks out and the cam app needs to be restarted to make the camera work again and this problem was in every single custom rom i ever tried including the minicm and the froyobread i'm surprised that some of you actually DOESN'T experience this problem......

Hello guise,
This time I'll share with you something that @RyokoN found out. Please thank him here. I just made proper changes to the file he mentioned.
Someday I was killed by my friend N5 torch. It was so bright. Now I decided that I want my torch to be actually useful, just like his torch is. (we were trying to see details in a dark place to fix the window).
It may break your LED if you leave it on for some time. I'm not responsible for any damage. It actually made my back around the LED a bit warm after a few seconds in the extreme version!
Please be aware that it's not safe to test it on devices that are older than Xperia Z as LED's may vary hardware-side.
Anyway, enjoy
Extreme version - just torch
Medium version - just torch
Medium version - torch, camera, flash, notification LED <------------ RECOMMENDED!
Extreme version - torch, camera, flash, notification LED
Revert to stock Z1 torch
It's based on Z1 .108 firmware (4.4.4), but it WILL work on 4.3 roms. Can't say about older android versions - you tell me!
Please test and let me know how it went
It's significantly brighter now. At first it barely gave any light and now it's even brighter then the light in my room on a small distance, lol.
Confirmed working on:
Z 4.4.4
ZR
Z1 Compact
Z1s
Z1 4.3 4.4
Z2 4.4
Z3 4.4
That's what I'm talking about! FINALLY a flashlight that I can use! It works great!
Wow! Tks to your mod, I'm finally throw my flashlight out in the garbage because now it's brighter that that old flashlight.....
Have you checked if the led can endure the increased amount of current?
i dont want my led to be damaged permanently because of this

I didn't, but it's using the same current like the flash in camera. It shouldn't harm your device if you won't use it for a long time like 15 minutes - just a guess.
As always, use it in your own risk.
Ok.. that's awesome!!!! It's amazing, even if you turn torch on when taking a photo it's brighter that flash itself.. I'm wondering
If there is any chance to boost flash at the same level with camera to get better pictures..

1 of the disadvantages of glass+metal: it heats up pretty quickly,
OMG
DANG this is bright, confirmed working for Xperia Z1S I actually kind of blinded myself without even looking at the led directly
If it can increase power of flash in camera, its great. ?
