Led flash alerts not working in iOS 5

I have turned on led flash notification on and nothing happens when I get phone calls, text, e-mail etc. I have turned off the led setting and then turned it off the phone. I then restarted it and turned the setting back on and nothing happens. The light never goes off. I checked the light and it works fine. Any ideas on how to fix this?

   For Everybody Who's Having Issues With The LED FLASHING ALERT On The iPhone 4S, I May Have Promising News For You.
   I Just Spent The Last Hour Or So With An Apple Support Tech, Who Then Forwarded Me To A Senior Support Person. I E-Mailed Her This Link So That She Could Research This Issue.
   Long Story Short, We Eventually Went Into The Settings - General - Reset - & Reset All Settings. 3 Minutes Later Tops, I Went Back Into The Settings - General - Accessibility, & Then Turned The LED FLASH FOR ALERTS Option ON. Tested It, & IT WORKED!!!!!!!!
   Tested It A Couple of More Times & It Still Works!
   I WANT TO THANK THE INCREDIBLY PATIENT APPLE SUPPORT STAFF, FOR AN AWESOME JOB!!!!
   The Senior Support Tech Also Requested That I Relay To All Apple Product User That Their Techs Do NOT Monitor Their Support Discussions. Sooooo, If Your Having Issues With Your Apple Product, Call 1-800-MYAPPLE, & They Will Do Their Best To Assist You With Your Problem. AND I Am Not Affiliated With Apple In Any Way. I'm In Law Enforcement!

Flash / flashlight not working since ios 7 update

I have an iPhone 5. Since I've updated to ios7 I have not been able to get the LED light to work. I've tried photo and video, and I've tried the dedicated 'flashlight' button... nothing.
Everything looks right on the screen, just no action in the light. I've tried hooking to itunes and syncing, powering down and restarting things and I even got the newest update fix (7.0.2 or whatever)... no dice.
I took some photos with a flash a few days before I updated, so I'm fairly sure that my hardware isn't damaged.
Any ideas?

I had the same problem it's definitely a software issue because the camera would sometimes work in camera apps but now I could not switch cameras at all.
I may have found a solution of course I probably won't get credit for thanks to Apple.
I believe the problem arises from a bug when the camera is used in lock mode, try restarting your phone with the home and power button. Then open your camera in locked mode and set the flash to auto. Maybe take a few pictures, switch the camera back and fourth, turn HDR on and off, but make sure the flash is set to auto before you unlock the phone. Heck even try playing with the flashlight.
After I did this in locked mode to my surprise my camera and flashlight are now fully functional after I have unlocked it with the password. I'm not to sure what triggered this bug but when I first got iOS 7 and played with my phone some how I unlocked the lock screen without putting in a password. Just by using the camera and the notification and control Center, I unlocked the phone which might of triggered the bug.

Automatic flash does not work under ios 6

I have noticed that flash never works when set in Automatic mode, but I'm not sure that it is really since iOS6 update, I'm afraid it started earlier. Everything is ok when the flash is set to On. Does anybody have similar problem, may it be related really to any iOS update or rather some third party app that screws the functionality? The device is iPhone 4 MC603EL, iOS vers 6.0 (10A403).

Flash plugin crashes every time it loads.
Flash works fine here on Firefox and Safari (actually 10.6 users shouldn't be using Safari as Apple doesn't support it anymore)
You said you reinstalled OS X, but that only does OS X unless you first wiped the drive of all users (and their data!) and programs.
So your issue is likely a corrupted Flash user cache file or user permissions issue in your user account.
Since you uninstalled and reinstalled Flash and the problem continues, that would suggest it's the cause.
It can likely be confirmed by logging into another user account.
You can delete your Flash cache file in the Apple menu > System Preferences also use the OnyX routine in the Step by Step fixes should clear other cache issues.
Also run through this list of fixes to eliminate other issues (like failed user account permissions) as you generally tune up your machine.

Led Flash for Alerts not working.

iOS5 - Accessibility - LED Flash for Alerts turned on.
But LED does not flash when phone call coming in.
Anyone has the same problem. How to fix it?

I seem to have found out the problem.
It works this way. It the LED flash alert is already set to on, turn it off, then press the home button to return to home screen. Then go to setting and turn it on again.
It should work. The LED will flash only when your your phone is locked or asleep.
But however, if you somehow have turned your phone off, reset it or its battery runs out, it won't work again. You then have to redo the turn off and on process again for it to work.
This is true even after I have updated to 5.0.1 yesterday.
This is definitely a bug.
Apple, please look into this too while you are working with the battery issue.
Thanks for your tip on making this LED work as an alert. It's too bad it does not work when the vibe/ring button is set to vibe.

IPhone 6 Plus LED alert not working.

I have always used the iPhone's LED flashing alert to notify me when I get a call or text message. While I was on iOS 8 Beta 2-4 it was working fine. I did a clean install of the complete iOS 8 release and ever since then, the flash alert doesn't work.
Sometimes it will work on incoming calls, but will not work on text messages. I've tried soft/hard rebooting, clean wipe and fresh installs, and pretty much anything in between. Now, today I got my 128GB Gold ATT iPhone 6 Plus, and it's the same thing. Updated to iOS 8.1, reset everything/deleted all contents and settings. Both fresh install, and iCloud backups and still no alerts on text messages, but now I get them on calls. I tried my girls ATT 128GB iPhone 6 and she has the same problem too. My old phone was a 64GB iPhone 5S and hers was a 32GB iPhone 5. Everything was good until the official release of iOS 8.
I've tried searching for related issues, and haven't found anything since 2011 with a quick Google search. Most links just tell you how to turn the flash alert on but no new issues. All of my devices are on iOS 8.1. I gave my father my 64GB 5S with a clean install and he still has the issue as well. So, that makes my iPhone 6 Plus, my girls iPhone 6 and my fathers iPhone 5S not flashing LED on messages and sometimes calls. There aren't any custom vibrations enabled on any if the devices. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is it a known bug or am I just not doing something right here? i never had an issue before the iOS 8 release. Any help would be appreciated.

Are you a developer? IF so try asking in the developer forum.

Auto tab focus method is not working in iOS devices please share the ideas why its not working?

Auto tab focus method is not working in iOS devices. Please share the idear i am facing this issue while developing code for devices.

Hi there,
I can confirm this bug.
Not sure if this info is relevant, but this is my experience:
I am on the FIDO network, and so are two other people I know.
We all tried blocking numbers, and calls ring right through. Text messages are blocked successfully. (never tried facetime)
I also tried a ROGERS device running IOS7, and was successfully able to block my phone call from ringing through. HOWEVER, my call was forwarded to their voicemail, I was able to leave a voicemail for the person, and they did get an alert that they had a new voicemail.
I have not yet had a chance to test this on Bell, Telus, or any other carriers.
Spoke to Apple, and they advised me to do a hard reset (hold both buttons to shut off and reboot the phone), and if that fails to do an iOS restore.
I have yet to try this, but hopefully someone will have a better solution.

My flash is not working anymore

My flash is not working anymore. Could this be a softwaer problem after upgrading to the newest os (4.3.3), or is the led broken?
Its neither working with camera, videocamera or flashlight-apps.

This is normally a hardware issue. You should contact Apple and discuss what options you have. As one last effort, you could attempt to Restore the iPhone and set it up as a new device. If the problem continues after doing this, then it is most likely a hardware issue.

Runtime error R6025 message after log on to Vista - Flash Card not working

Hi
I'm a newbie & would appreciate any advice.
I am getting a runtime error message R6025 when I log on to Windows Vista.
When I click out of the box I then get a message saying Toshiba Flash Card not working.
I cancel that and my laptop is ok except I don't know if the flashcard is working or not because I don't know what it does.
Sorry if I sound thick
Thanks
Neelie

Hi
I found this MS knowledge base article:
+Description of the R6025 run-time error in Visual C++\+
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/125749
But I doubt this description would be useful for you or anyone here. It describes this error in Visual C++ and this is programming language.
However, I think you should simply reinstall the Value Added Package which you could download firstly from the Toshiba European page.
At first you have to remove the old Value Added Package from the system, then reboot the notebook and follow with new VAP installation.
Bye

IMessage is not working in IOS 7 , Any workaround

iMessage is not working in IOS 7 , Any workaround

Yap, sad but true...
The most annoying problem, besides iMessage, is the keyboard, it's horrible on my iPhone 4 in Safari. Some on some formulars the keyboard is so **** slow that I had to stop typing after 2nd word.
But I could fix the iMessage Problem, first turn off iMsg, then you have to backup your Phone on your PC/Mac in iTunes, turn off auto sync when done and pull the phone off. Then go to the Phone settings and reset everything, then choose "set up as new device".
When done go to settings and activate iMsg and wait for activation, it will work! After you're done plug the phone back to your PC/Mac and restore from the Backup you made before. Now go to phone settings again and check if iMsg is on, if not (as it was in my case), turn it on and activate again, it will work now!!!
Attention: Apps and Music have to be resynced or downloaded after this, they are NOT part of the Backup.
This was what Apple tech. support told me to do and it worked fine.

PDF Portfolio does not work with iOS Reader 11.3.2 on iOS 7.1.2

Well this is upsetting. I created a PDF form with several pages of the same form (it's a travel log).
My hoping to use Adobe Reader to complete the form and save back as a week at a time won't work.
I created the form using Acrobat Pro 9 from CS5.
Does anyone know if a PDF form in a Portfolio should work with Adobe Reader on the iPad2/
Also, what can I use that works with forms as a portfolio?
Ken

Ken,
please could you describe your workflow. It might help to find some solution. Also it would be great if you can share a sample of your document. Please email it to [email protected] with the reference to this discussion "PDF Portfolio does not work with iOS Reader 11.3.2 on iOS 7.1.2"
thank you.
