Please help me, my camera flash not working. i tried streak light and other program (camera app) but nothing.
I have a dell streak 5 and firmware 354.....i tried other firmware but nothing.
what is the problem?
Thanks
on 351, and Camera Flash not working
I have 351 on my Streak, and when taking pictures, the flash won't turn on, even though I have it set to be on. I know the flash is working, since I have Flashlight and the lights work when I use it. Anyone has this issue?
UPDATE:
I pulled out the battery and rebooted, and now my flash is working again, even though I had rebooted before. Weird.
I have had this problem for nearly a year now.
I have sent the phone for repair and my camera unit works in another device but a new one will not work in mine.
Weird!
I have also tried every rom out there and still no LED flash.
Not on camera, video, flashlight apps, dell streak light app.
Nothing!
Does anyone out there in the world have a solution???
I changed the group led but still does not work. I do not know what to do
My flash worked fine until I did a recent factory reset to clear another problem. Now the flash only works when shooting a video clip, but cant access the "on" option when in picture mode.
Camera Flash Fix
Had the same problem with not being able to turn the camera flash to "on". Found this to work:
Settings
applications
manage applications
all
Scroll to CameraEM
Clear data
return to prior screen
Scroll to Camera
Clear data
Return to home screen
You should now be able to turn the flash "on". Hope this works for you
well it didnt work either.. need help
Hi there.
My flash LEDs stopped working too. In every application: cameras, torches, barcode scanners etc.
Every time a LED is in use i can see a very faint, almost invisible flash. Doesn't matter if it supposed to be a flash or continuous light there is always that tiny flash only.
It happened back in a days when I was on 403 Olleh Gingerbred 2.3.3. I thought that changing ROM will help but even now on Cyanogen mod Longhorn 2.9.3 Android 2.3.7 my flash still doesn't work.
May that be a hardware issue?
Please help me or assist me with fixing my phone camera. I am a noob to Android phones but I'm technical (MCSE,CNE, A+,Security+)
Problem:
My SGH-I337 is about 2 months old. I applied the UCUAMF3 update OTA and afterwards everything worked fine but I found the camera program took a long time to load and would only display a black screen. I would have to restart the phone and launch the camera first to get it to work. Today I continued to have this problem but could never get the camera to work. It would only display a black screen and I can touch the screen and see the focus square and I can select settings and change mode but it takes a long time. There is about a 15-30 second delay after touching a menu option on the screen. At first I was able to switch to the rear (screen) camera and it would work but eventually that stopped. If I let it sit on the screen with the camera I will here a beep every so often but it may be because I've touched the buttons. Everything else works fine and I have no problem with anything except the camera app or any app that tries to use the camera like Amazon to scan a barcode or Facebook to take a picture. Usually these apps become unresponsive and then quit. A couple times I got a message that said Camera Failed.
Things I tried:
Rebooting and removing battery
booting in to safe mode and the problem is the exact same
Force stoping camera app and doing a clear data and clear cache
Wiping cache partition.
Phone:
AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337
Update applied OTA on approximately 7/10
JDQ39.I337UCUAMF3
also tried factory reset
I also did a factory reset and the camera will not work. Only a black screen.

I'm starting to think this may be a hardware problem..

fyi: I had exactly the same problem before the update.
After the update, the problem persisted. I did a hard reset after updating and the problem went away. The problem has not returned since.

when you say hard reset is that the same thing as restoring to factory defaults?

Yes. I went into Settings>Accounts>Backup and reset>Factory data reset
Hardware or Software
So far I've done the hard reset twice via the hardware buttons and once from the software. I'm still puzzled if this is hardware or software. I read that the july update had new camera firmware and that is when my problem started. But since everyone is not having this problem I would guess it isn't a widespread. Still not sure if it is hardware or software. Which I could re-apply that July ROM again to see if that fixes it.
So I only noticed the issue a few days ago. I turn on my tablet (running 5.1.1 stock, non rooted) and it locks itself into portrait if held in that position and likewise for landscape. Now when I attempt to auto-rotate the screen the usual way, nothing happens.
Any apps that use a forced orientation setting like Google Books (which I have set to forced portrait) will force it from landscape into portrait mode and remain that way, even after closing the app. Likewise for apps that force portrait to landscape.
I've tried checking that auto-rotate was enabled, tested. That it wasn't enabled, checked. Re-enabled it and checked.
Tried the same process above, but with a reboot in between each step.
Tried a few apps that use the accelerometer and found that it appears to be working fine:
GPS Status & Toolbox by MobiWIA - EclipSim - full range of movement detected.
Accelerometer Sensor by Victor Dmitrienko - full range of movement detected.
Sky Map by Google - full range of movement detected.
Heard people on Nexus 7 had solved it by disabling Google Now and Location Services. Tried both of these, rebooting the tablet each time. No fix.
Tried factory resetting the tablet - Backup & reset > Factory data reset.
Nothing seems to fix the issue. It only seems to have arisen since the recent 5.1.1 update. Anyone got any suggestions on what else I can try to fix this? Would I be right in assuming, that as other software apps seem to suggest the accelerometer is working, that this is an OS issue and NOT hardware?
I've become so despondent, I'm considering donating my tablet to my parents and looking for a replacement.
Thanks in advance for anyone that can help resolve my issue.
A desperate N10 user.
i don't think it's a problem with the 5.1.1 update as i had this problem on kitkat, it was working fine for ages then suddenly out of the blue it wouldn't auto rotate. then when i got the ota update for lollipop the issue went away and it has never come back even after the other lollipop updates. i never could find a solution to it so i can't really help you, i just got lucky that it went away by itself
Hi,
Can you try reflashing system firmware? It seems a system issue and this might help solving it.
All the best,

Since a few weeks, several sensors on my phone stopped working without a reason (no upgrade, no change, nothing).
Proximity, light and rotation stopped working.
I tried a full factory reset, including wiping cache, data, ... but no change.
There are several other people with this problem:

I had the rotation problem twice, the first time I fixed it by dropping it upside down to the floor about 5cm and it get fixed, and the second time I dropped it again of 5cm but it did not work, so I dropping about 10cm and nothing, 20cm and then it worked, until now.
Last week, I took my phone off the charger and noticed that the home button was not working. Did multiple reboots, clean wipes and also reinstalled the stock ROM, nothing worked. Did the *#808# fingerprint test and found that the figerprint sensor was not responding which led me to believe this could be a hardware issue. I did not have the time to go to the service center so I turned on the on-screen navigation bar and used it like this for a few days.
Today, I thought I'd try to sort this out one more time before I take it to the service center. The *#808# fingerprint test still showed the sensor not available. Rebooted the phone and turned the on-screen nav bar off. Lo and behold the home key started working. I do not know how this happened, I'm just glad that it did.
Just thought I'll post here so that if anyone has issues they could try this out and it might help someone.
Cheers.:good:
I got the same problem. My OP5 Home button(with fingerprint scanner) stopped working suddenly. It got stock android since purchase. I never tried to root it. It suddenly became unresponsive. Will try to use nav bar for few days. Im getting ghost touches as well. Any Help appreciated.
Hi. I have the same issue on my op3t, looking for idfeas.

Hi. I have the same issue on my op3t, Oxygeos Version 9.05. My home and recents buttons do not work but fingerprint works fine. I turned on the on-screen nav bar and the home and recents buttons don't work there as well. Turning it off didn't solve anything. Any idea? Thanks
Facing exactly the same issue after upgrade to 9.0.5. home and recent buttons are not working, but fingerprint is working fine. Did you resolve this issue by any chance? if yes, please let me know as well how it was resolved. thanks. -ramesh
Try doing a factory reset, but take a backup before doing that.
Sent from my OnePlus 3T using XDA Labs
I am also facing this issue. It started off with a boot loop into the recovery every time i try to start the phone. It stopped after i cleared cache from recovery, but the default launcher doesnt work properly, no notifications in my drawer, and many other issues. the hardware buttons are responding (it lights up when i tap on it) but the OS doesn't do anything with it. I have tried with switching to the soft keys and it behaves the same way as well. the fingerprint scanner and back button works so far.
i'm having this problem too Got a OP3T, i found out a bit of info, it has to do with the screen, i'm still facing this problem so im gonna buy a replacement screen and see how it goes, ive already replaced the earphone jack board that houses most the flex cable connections and i also replaced the speaker, home button, and the usb c flex cable to no avail. what i haven't tried was to replace the battery and the main/sub flex cable inside. i'd really like a fix for this.
go to Settings -> Apps -> All Apps (ie including System apps)
look for com.android.fingerprint... or com.oneplus.fingerprint...
"Force Stop" it. and go to its storage and "Clear Cache" , "Delete Data" .
Now restart the Phone.
Worked for me on OnePlus3T running OxygenOS 9.0.5.
Phone was also on charging through out the procedure .. I doubt if it would have any significance though.
Good Luck.
I could not force stop this app.
MY SOLUTION
this is what it worked for me with OP5
I deactivated fingerprint, reboot to recovery, wipe cache+dalvik, restart (without fingerprint anymore) and it seems to be working just fine again.
I have observed this issue too in my oneplus 3 with oxygen os 9.0.6 and also in previous releases. The only thing that works for me is just to reboot the phone.

I am facing the exact same problem. Have tried all the other fixes/solutions mentioned in this thread except the 'Factory Reset'.
Please let me know what did you finally do to resolve it.
Thanks
