[Q] FlashLED not working - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Like the subject says my flashlight just stopped working. No matter what ROM I'm on it wont turn on or work in camera. I'm sure its a hardware problem but I'm hoping someone knows a quick fix. Any replies would be much appreciated.

Does your flash work when you take a picture?

No it doesn't. I think its shot. I believe it happened when I enabled death ray or what ever its called on cnotes cm9 ROM. I'm going to look up how to replace it if it can even be done.
Thanks for your reply.

I guess it's something like that but I never had any issue with it on a sense ROM and I use the flashlight a lot.

lol, i dont understand what your looking for. do you want a stock rom with sense like you had when you got the phone but rooted? or do you want a senseless rom like cm7? now i've seen the term STOCK tossed around.
I think he's looking for a true aosp rom that's just google code with it modified to work for the shift... I came from a hero recently and we had a true aosp rom with no frill like you would have found on a nexus one. It was great... fastest thing in the world... like doing a clean install of windows xp or 7... I too wish to see one on the shift... I know evervolv is aosp but its modified with themes and tweaks but its as close as we have I think...
I think as the phone picks up some development someone will put out a true aosp rom... just give it time?
Would love to see the full potential of this phone with just an os though

Well, here's a first.

I got my nexus s 4g with the same intention I've had with all my androids..root,flash custom rom,custom kernel, n have perfection on my phone. Well how surprised do u think i was when i got the phone n fell in love with the stock rom. Holy crap is the stock rom basically flawless...lol
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App
Same here bro, same here!
Same, I don't see too much to complain about on stock. It's light, responsive and fairly stable. I'll root it eventually of course though. I'm sure there are too many under-the-hood options that I'll be dying without before long
My only complaint seems to be random data drop outs. Is that a known issue or wtf is going on lol

Same thing for me. Have had the phone since a few days after release and no real urge to root or do anything else.

Nexus s 4g is plagued with all sorts of data issues. Its what the alleged ota is suppose to fix. As far as the stock rom, I almost always run stock with a matrix kernel. I like bln amd voodoo color.

I totally agree with you guys, stock is rock solid on this phone. But voodoo sound and color really add to the hardware aspect of the Nexus S.

Yes but OEM unlock wipes your phone. That's why I did it not long after I got my phone even though I kept it stock for a while.

That's if you flash a stock deodex rom for the ns or ns4g just flash that on top and you'll have the toggles in place

I'm relatively sure it fixes the ShiftySonOfA exploit. I can no longer root my device with that method.
So no point installing it? I can live with that.

id just avoid it like the plague, the odds of a developer bothering to work on an exploit if it does close the hole is slim to none nowadays since most of the devs have moved on to better phones by now

I think if anyone would fix the exploit it would just be to test there skills. and say that they did.
Avoid Sprint Official Updates like the plague . Never take an Update form Sprint till your sure what it is. It's one sure fire way to get yourself into ISH.

I didnt do anything to the ota other than cook it up Stock odex. I could deodex it and post that too so its easier for people to get in there and do mods though. Its all what you all want. But a debloated bone stock optimized rom dont sound halfway bad. Even though you guys have ICS and all that good stuff, some users do like Stock optimized ( no tweaks and minor changes ) so.....................

It looks like not HTC at all.. lol..
I have been see the sense look from version 2 to version 4, it look same, only the animation is different.. now if the latest sense look like that, it look like another common android phone.. no exclusive about HTC on it..
That's just my opinion by the way..

There was a lot more different from 2.1 to 4.0 than the animation (5 icon dock for one). Sense 5.0 doesn't look like anything else so that is kinda the definition of exclusive lol. But you're entitled to your opinion. It makes me drool lol.
I saw this on the unlocked.com today. Feb 19! http://theunlockr.com/2013/01/29/ht...-next-big-thing-ahead-of-mwc-on-february-19th
I might get the m7 when it comes out. I like the way sense 5 is looking

And if you get it and don't like the way it looks you can always change that.

[Q] Blinking screen

Hi
I don't know something with my myTouch 4G. When the phone is in standby mode (screen off), it starts blinking rapidly and stop (2 or 3 times per second) ramdomly or when i touch the digitizer (alway in stanby mode only).
I noticed it happens when i use an ICS or Jelly Bean roms only. But with the stock or another customs Gingerbread roms, this issue disappears. Everything runs well.
I wonder if it's a general problem with ICS and JB on this phone and if it's possible to fix it?
