Flash LED randomly turns on to random brightness level

I just got a Tmobile MDA today and it's a cool little device. However, the LED Flash is randomly turning itself on, does not randomly turn itself off, and the weird thing is that it doesn't always stay on at full brightness. I have found that if I manually toggle the flash in the camera app, it turns off the flash for a time.
Also it tries to light up kinda like the way a fluorescent bulb lights up, flickering and only going full blast if I turn it on.
I have checked the wiki, and the first three pages of the forum, and google, and no mention of this problem. Any ideas or maybe a fix that I missed??
Thanks!

Hi
Glad to know I am not the only one with this problem!
Mine started to happen about a year ago, exact same symptoms as you describe. I have not managed to find a fix and can tell you it is defo not software related.
O2 Xda Mini S is the model I have for your ref, O2 are of course saying it needs to be sent back under warranty.
If you do ever find a fix post a reply as I would be interested to know what it is!

ive been searching solution to this problem for almost 6 months now, still to no avail.

HD2 Bug: No Standby mode, screen always on

Hello
My HD2 Worked well for a long time, but now everytime I press the "sleep" key it turns off for half a second then turns back on and proudly displays the lockscreen without me pressing anything. There is no way to turn the screen off and go in standby mode anymore.
Obviously the battery drains so much faster from not being able to have the screen off and this silly problem actually makes the phone unusable
I flashed a few roms using HardSPL and now HSPL2. I'm currently running Artemis 11.0, the problem appeared may days after flashing while using Artemis ROM 9.0. A hard reset seemed to fix it but the problem reappeared. Today flashing 11.0 only solved the problem at first boot.
Anyone had that before? Not sure if it's software/rom related or not anymore. HELP

As far as Ive seen, its only you an me who have had this problem so far.
Honestly, Im relieved to see someone else with this problem.
I had exactly as you described, but using Axlor roms.
It worked fine for 1/2months, then all of a suddon the screen backlight wouldnt go off, but a reset fixed it.
But it got worse and worse.
Now nothing will work...
Ive taken everything back to stock, and i mean EVERYTHING! Not a single app installed.
And I still have this problem. I've tried it all.
I think its a warrenty job....
EDIT:
I also noticed the backlight will go off fine when the phone is charging, is that the same for you?
I just sent the phone off to Tmob today, to see if they can fix/replace it.
I'll keep you informed.

Same problem. Was running fine on stock ROM 1.66 then backlight did not dim and would not go into standby. Put into standby, screen goes off then straight back on to the lock screen. Since then have had other problems at boot, sometimes it locks on HTC white screen needing battery removal, sometimes launches straight into Navipanel and will not exit, HTC sense homescreen sometimes launches in landscape and will not go into normal portrait mode. Reflashed with different ROM's same symptoms persist so have returned to Vodafone UK under warranty, fingers crossed.

i've had this on early versions of the rom i use, the chef fixed it, making me think its the software, not your phone.

I experienced this issue when I minimised a game called virtual pool. Closing it in task manager would then allow me to permanently make the phone sleep.

How come Ive still got the problem after reflashing several times and taking everything back to exactly as it came from the box?

I too have had the navi panel problem.
Im praying they fix mine under warrenty

Yes the problem is exactly what you describe, hard reset and flashing to a stock rom doesn t fix it with no programm running in the background
Navipanel seems to be on randomly sometimes so can I guess it could be related.
I found a fix, after starting the phone, plugging and unplugging the usb cable to the phone WHILE THE SCREEN IS ON fixes it but only until the next restart
Considering sending it for warranty now.
Thanks for replies! If anybody knows more let us know

Update re standby problem
Got my phone back from Vodafone UK today. Was advised software corrupted and that they had reflashed and it had been fully tested and was now working fine.
On power up (even without SD card or SIM) it had exactly the same fault as before, when put into sleep mode the screen comes back on after about 1 second.
I tried the plug in and remove USB lead fix and this also works for me until the next restart so it would seem that this must be a hardware problem.

Ive noticed allot more people getting this problem. So its not only us.
Tmob are replacing mine, so Im guessing its out of our control now.

did any of you guys try performing a task 29 in between flashing roms? it may help

Actually no, I overlooked it.
Probably would have been a good idea
Prehaps thats worth a try Mr Opr

Thanks for this workaround. Now with the urgency gone hopefully somebody finds a lasting solution without the need of sending it in..

I have same problem guys after 4 months using. ...and my HD2 is unusable with no standby. I mean battery gets weak during 2-3 hours. Whats your guess guys is it software problem. Cause Im afraid of this is hardware prob because after reset goes my device in wrong state.
Help!

Sadly I'm running into this same error with my t-mobile hd2....getting serious power drain...can anyone confirm if the task 29 helped at all? Mine won't stay off for more than 30 seconds.
** Found out the google easy sms beta app I was running had a service which was causing the app to come out of standby...uninstalling this app cured the problem.

For me, it was a sd slot problem. When i removed the sd card, phone always waked up after 0.5 seconds, and card was detected as bad.
Now the SD slot was changed (under guarranty) and it work fine, no wake up if sd slot is empty.

Any update on this? My HD2 starting doing this today as well
And I have no usb cable at work to 'trick' it. The only option is to pull the battery which I don't want to do. This is ridiculous. Am I going to have to hard-reset the damn thing to fix it?
FYI I didn't do *ANYTHING* to my phone in a couple of weeks (no new apps, etc.) and it started doing this out of the blue.
You hit the red 'end call' button and it goes black..then comes right back on.
The odd thing is it *thinks* its plugged in because the only screen setting I can get it to acknoweldge is the 'backlight level when charging'. So somehow my phone thinks its plugged in even though my only usb cable is back home.
Grrr. No registry tweaks or temp files I can delete to reset this behavior?

First of all wrong forum, either put this in the phiremod thread, or in general or somewhere else besides development, Do not make a thread in Development unless you are developing something.
Second of all, did you load anything new before you went to sleep, did you make any changes?
Hardware rarely just stops working....

Airplane mode. Check that out.

I had this happen to me twice with CM7, the only way I was ever able to fix it was by doing a full wipe and re-flashing the rom. It was not pleasant but it was the only thing that consistently fixed the problem. To make it a little less painful in the future try using the My Backup Root app from the market.

Hey nemith, thanks and thanks for all the great work you've done and are doing!
Yes, I know Airplane mode is broken, perhaps I should have been more elaborate in response to the OP in asking him to "Check that out.", meaning search. I'm guessing he inadvertently touched the setting and spazzed his wifi and if he had spent a sec to search wi-fi problems he would have found his answer and perhaps dug into settings.db and fixed it.
Then again, it might be easier for him to just re-flash.

I've had the exact same problem with CM7 stable 7.0.2.
Although it automagically disappeared when I deleted my remembered networks and all available networks showed up then.

thanks it got fix by its self then it came back after another week when i turned off wifi to save battery then i tried the airplane mode thing and then came back and it worked agian so ill just not ever turn off my wifi and get that my back up root incase i have to re flash CM7

I seem to be having the same issue with my NC, I just recovered into clockworkmod, fixed permissions, wiped the cache, then wiped the dalvik cache, then went into my wifi, "forgot" a hotspot and that solved it. It started scanning again; No reinstalling or rerooting required.

[Q] Blinking Red LED Notification

Hi,
I tried to change my file system from Dalvik to ART and when my phone was optimizing apps after reboot, my phone suddenly shut off and it wouldn't turn on. If I try to turn it on, it will show a solid red LED for 3 seconds or so and then start showing a blinking red LED.
I did manage to get into the bootloader and I flashed the whole factory image for Kitkat and erased my data through fastboot, but it didn't fix anything. Anyone know if there's anything else I can do? My phone is outside warranty because I bought it on release date last year :/

Look what this guy had: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47968382
Spoiler: it's the exact same issue, and he resolved it. Wouldn't it have been great if you just searched the forums for a similar thread before posting this? I can answer that. Yes, yes it would have been great. It would have saved you time waiting for an answer here. And it would have saved me time writing this rant. So next time, use search.

Oh thank you. What great luck that he had the same problem. Does anyone actually know why disconnecting the battery cable would solve the problem? It seems odd that this is caused by a software problem, but a physical fix returned it back to normal.

Problem solved, so i suppose we can close this thread now

No WiFi connection

I got 2 LG G2 d800 and both started not connecting to wifi, it gets stuck on "turning on wifi", both happened on the same day so I don't think its a hardware problem probably an update of Google services, anyone has the same problem and maybe a solution?

I am experiencing the same problem since yesterday. It just says Turning Wi-Fi on... and it never turns on. It happened when I had my phone charging and noticed a facebook messenger update. The wifi has turned on and worked for a while (especially after some reboots) but then it got back to doing the same thing again. I have reset my phone but it doesn't let me do a hard reset using the power and volume down keys.
Any ideas on how to solve this?

sorry to say, but its broken (99%). i had the same problem. but my luck it was i guarantee time (short before end)
regards

I have made it work for a few hours, somehow. I finally managed to figure out how to factory reset it. I did it a few times until the wifi was working completely.
I started downloading apps and it worked perfectly. Then I decided to try a reboot and the wifi when out again. The difference is that now I have a MAC address and before I didn't. It's still stuck but there's some progress, I guess.
I thought about rooting my phone, but I'm scared of ending up with a brink since I have never done it before.

Me too with my g2:
About 3 weeks that my wifi, hot spot & the stock radio app aren't working like they used to for 4 years!
Did factory reset but it didnt helped
