HT201401 Camera flash issue

Hi
Recently my 4S Camera flash light stays on when powering or using the phone. Most of the time it is in 'dim' mode but sometime remains on full flash...drains the battery really quick.
Have reset everthing but still the same.....any simular issues reported?.....thanks in advance.

If resetting by holding the sleep and home button for 10sec did not work, try to set it up as new device without using the latest backup, in case it contains corrupt files.

If the flash works as expected after that, restore from the backup.

  • Galaxy S6 Camera flash issue

    Has anyone else experience the camera flash issue that is posted on the web? I'm experiencing it on my Black 64GB version. Never had an issue until I opened the camera app for the first time..It was at night so when I turned the camera off I kept noticing this faint light on the back. I thought it was just the brightness of the yellow of the flash because it is bright, but when I went pitch black, I can still see the faint glow of the camera flash. It will not cut off. I've turned the phone completely off and it still shows....It is definitely draining my battery and it's starting to bother me. Just curious if anyone else noticed. According to the web, samsung is aware and working on a fix for it.

    No problem...No, I was not able to resolve issue. The temporary fix is to
    wipe the phone and then not use flash on your camera or the flashlight; for
    me that defeated the purpose...I just continued to return the phone until I
    received one that doesn't have the issue...took me 2 exchanges but I think
    I've found one that doesn't have that issue.

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    Do you have any cover or similar on the phones backside? In that case, try to remove it and see if you get a better photo. 
    Please also note that if you take a picture to close to an object with a blank or white surface the flash may reflect back into the camera. Do you get the same picture quality with the flash if you take a photo from a longer distance or on another object?

  • Camera/Flash issue in low light conditions

    I have an Xperia Z2 updated with android 4.4.4. When I try to take pictures at night I just get purple photos. This started just a few weeks ago out of nowhere. Let me say that the lens is not dirty nor blocked by anything. I don't have a case. I have just restored the phone today with Sony PC Companion and still the same issue. Any solutions for this...?
    Solved!

  • Samsung Note 3 Camera and Flash Issues

    I have a Samsung Note 3 that is only a few months old and the Camera continues to not function correctly.
    Android 4.4.2
    * Flash will randomly turn off and I will need to restart my device to get it working again.
    * Pictures taken with camera are slow and very often out of focus.
    The camera flash issue is something most people might not notice until they absolutely need the flash.
    The camera taking a long time to focus/take pictures I'm sure a lot of people have seen on a more regular basis.

  • Galaxy S5 Camera Flash

    The flash has just started coming on when my phone is on standby and flashes for no reason. Does anyone have any ideas why?

    Hello There ,
    I would be happy to assist you with your Samsung Galaxy S5 camera flash issues. 
    There are a few things I would recommend trying:
    Do you have Flash notification enabled?
    Settings>Personalization>Accessibility>Hearing. Is there a check next to “Flash notification”?
    Is your phones software update?
    Settings>General>About Device>Software update
    Have you cleared cache from the Camera App?
    Settings>Application Manager>Camera App.  Force Stop the app, clear cache, reboot the device
    Hope this helps!

  • Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Camera Flash and Focus Issues

    I have 2 issues with the Camera on my Note 3:
    1) The camera flash stops working on my Note 3 even when using another application like Flashlight. I need to turn off my phone and turn it back on for it to start working.
    2) The Camera takes a long time to take pictures and the pictures are often out of focus.
    Anyone else have these issues and know a solution?

  • Camera flash disabled due to heat issue

    I left my iPhone 4 charging for about 3 hours until it was fully charged. I went to take a picture and the camera flash switch had a warning symbol. When I clicked it, it stated that my flash was disabled due to excessive heat. I quit the camera app and reopened it and the flash was working fine afterwards.( note the phone did not feel hot whatsoever.) Should I be worried about this. There was no overheating warning on the lock screen just in the camera app.
    Thanks.

    This is a bug in the 4.3.1 software as shown in this thread.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=13303571&#13303571
    Every iphone does this since 4.3.1. I even verified it on my phone so it is a software problem only.

  • Is there a way to use an off camera flash or remote flashes on a Rebel T5? (This is not a T5I)

    I have a Rebel T5 I just bought a few months ago. I like it as it is a great entry into DSLR. I will be looking at upgrading in a few months. But in the meantime, I just bought a speedlight kit (not Canon) and it came with 2 speedlights and the remote trigger and 2 remote receivers. Is there a way to enable the camera to use off camera flash? i was able to put one of the flashes on as an extrenal flash but I have not been able to figure out how to enable off camera flash.
    Solved!

    Thank you Skirball. It did come with a trigger. I must not have had the correct settings. When I first got the set, I put the trigger on the camera and hooked the lights to the receivers and it did not work for me. I thought I needed a special setting. But I must have had the receivers set to camera instead of flash. Once I put it on today, it worked and triggered both flash units. Incase anyone else has this issue, the kit I bought from Amazon is the Altura 2 flash kit that came with 2 speedlghts, the trigger and 2 receivers. I paid $169 for it. But when I hooked them up today and had the receivers set to Flash, they both were triggered when I pressed the shutter button.
    Thank you again.

  • Query on Nokia 820 Camera/Flash

    Hi
    I have a Nokia 820 - it is a great phone and I love it.  I have had it for the last 6 months but I noticed a couple of things lately.
    When I use the camera and take a picture, sometimes the screen blacks out and you cannot take another picture without turning the phone off totally and then restart it.
    Separately, I have installed a Flashlight app, and when I turn it on, it wont turn off.  So, the camera flash is freezing.
    Has anyone experienced this issue or can give me any ideas on how to resolve it - I would appreciate it.
    Thanks

    Remove the app so and see if all is ok.Id also suggest removing unwanted images from gallery if you have many there.
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

  • Camera flash of iphone 4s not working

    Camera flash of iphone is not working can not take a picture with flash??
    Please suggest a solution.

    If you bring up the shortcut bar from the button of the screen by swiping upwards, can you switch the torch function on and off?
    Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
    You will not lose data by resetting.
    Did you make sure that the flash is activated in the camera app? Did you try to switch it off, take a photo and switch it back on again?
    To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the camera. If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

  • Recent Software Update annoyance - Camera Flash notifications

    For the most part I'm fine with the recent update to the software-- still navigating around the changes and getting my setting preferences restored-- but I absolutely HATE that my camera flash goes off when I have notifications! Has anyone found a way around this?? I sleep with my phone on my nightstand since it's my alarm, and every time I got an e-mail in the middle of the night the light wakes me up. And when it's face down anytime the rest of the day it's blinding.
    Someone please tell me this isn't a permanent setting...

    buffster wrote:
    I just looked at accessibility and it isn't 'checked' for flash notifications.  So why is it doing it?  Annoying!  And I would think it is an unnecessary battery drain also. HELP!?!?!?
    Try turning it on and then off again. Sometimes that helps. You might want to try to search for the other discussion in the Verizon Wireless Community forum where they go into more detail about the issue and the fix.
