N-79 LED FLASH LIGHT & CAMERA PROBLEM

i've had the n79 for slightly over a year. i can't say it's been problem free, after about 8 months i had problems with the screen when a pixel died in one spot and then across a whole row..it was under warranty so i got the screen replaced but currently i'm suffering problems with the camera and the led flash. a couple of weeks ago the phone got a bump while i was shaving. i checked it immediately. the problems i found was the battery had become slightly loose and the slider cover wasn't as taut as previously, now it requires me to slide it almost all the way to close it. Another problem was with the led flash. when i tried to take a picture the flash didn't work, it just stopped working. (the pictures are only reasonable in clear daylight and even those seem disappointing.) i thought it would resolve itself so i left it, while checking it intermittently. and a week ago it did work but only for a short period of time. Recently however the main problem seems to be that the Camera just switches itself on.. this is putting a drain on my battery.
i don't wan't to do a hard reset as i think i'd lose all the n-gage games i've bought.. is there any other way to resolve my issues...especially the led flash as the pictures i can are rubbish. can it be solved by a hard reset???
my phone model number is N 79-1 and the type is RM 348.the software version is 32.001
i unforunately do not have the phone covered under warranty...
any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
thank you all.

My camera flash started coming on to notify me of new emails. It started after the recent software update.
The solution to get the feature to turn off was to go into Settings... Accessibility... and scroll down to "Flash notification" under the Hearing section. There seemed to be a bug in the recent software update. This setting on my phone was already marked as Off, but I was getting the notifications anyway. To get the flash notifications to stop, I needed to turn the setting On and exit out of settings, then go back in and turn it Off again. This time the selection took.
There was another discussion in here that recommended turning the phone off and then back on in between making changes to the setting. For me, that step was not necessary.

  • LED Flash light notification

    I can't turn off the LED Flash light notification even though it is turned off from the settings. I did restore the IOS again but it's still there. Does anyone know how to stop it.

    try a reset, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release, wait for phone to boot back up.

  • LED flashing light and email notifications!

    i just got the curve 9300 and before had the curve 8520 and the flashing LED is so dim i can barely see it on my new one!
    i have the phone on silent at work and use the LED to tell when i have a notification and i cant even see it in daylight hardly.
    is there any way to make the red light flash up brighter like on the older model?
    my sister has the new bold and hers is fine and bright.
    Ive got the free bebuzz app and even when i select my fave contact as BRIGHT pink it is still really dim light.
    Also i have my hotmail account set up on my bb.
    When i get a new email the notification icon appears at the top but i cant view the email in my hotmail box only if i go into the "messages" icon. this isnt how it was before either!
    HELP?

    so do they not all have a dimmer LED than other models then?
    I do not have a 9300 device on hand. I have used one and tested one, and played with. The LED flashing was fine, with nothing less bright about it that I would have noticed or made me remember "oh this is dim".

    you think its a fault on mine?
    I don't know that, hence my suggestion to drop by where you purchased it and check another 9300 LED for comparison. There could certainly be some "personal preference" on this that you think it's not bright enough to you, but another 9300 might be brighter. There could some fault of your device. Do I think it's a fault on yours... I don't know. I haven't seen yours.
    I'd also suggest that you UNinstall BeBuzz for now, completely uninstall, reboot your 9300 and test the LED from the native opertaing system settings.

  • Iphone 4S the flash light came on by itself, and won't go off. The light is still on. Ican't get it to charge so I can restore it.

    My light came on in the middle of the night, and it was vibrating. I can't get the light off. Now the phone is dead, but the light is still on. I tried taking a picture, but the screen was black on the rear facing camera. I can't get the phone to come on now. I hooked it up to my computer, and I have it on the wall charger.

    Then it is time to restore the device... first from backup.  If the issue still continues, restore as new.

  • Is LED flash used for taking pictures at low light?

    I recently bought 4s iphone, currently when i take pics in the night or low light the image is not clear due to LED flash light. Does LED flash is used only for notification /alerts or is it mainly used for creating better pictures in low light?
    Thanks
    Ravi

    or is it mainly used for creating better pictures in low light?
    That is correct.
    * Double check if there is a plastic film covering the camera and the flash.
    ** In my personal opinion, pictures using the flash in iPhone are of poor quality anyway.

  • N95 turn flash light on,and can't turn it off- Pro...

    Hi, I have N95-1 firmware v21.0.016. I didn’t decide yet to update new v30, because some reviews I thought that it’s better to skip this and wait next.
    The problem I experience with my device is that some time (it’s happened few times) in ordinary use (not camera use), my flash light (camera light) turn on and wont turn off even if I turn phone off. I tried removing the battery and the light goes off. As soon I put the battery back in the light comes on again even phone is still off. When I turn camera on (by opening it), light go off but when I close it it’s turn on again. I find solution, to take any picture, and after that everything goes back to normal.
    Does any one else had experience like mine? What can provoke this behavior?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    First thanks for response.
    Rrangel, thanks for advice, but I can turn my flash off. It simple, taking picture (and that is the only way for that) and after that everything go in normal. I can close camera and continue to use my phone normally (no flash light on). I can turn phone off and on again, it’s will work normally and no flash light problem. However, this might happened again.
    I have 4 GB takems memo card in the phone. And phone wasn’t in contact with water or steam, it never fall or had any defect.
    First I thought it’s because some third part application. When it’s happened first time, phone was running Rotate Me, Flip Silent (that I was just installed and test how it’s will work), Advanced Call Manager, and I was rejecting some phone call. I thought it’s because Flip Silent, but second time, phone didn’t run any of those applications, I was just change theme and flash light turn on.
    First time I find out that, removing battery and restarting of the phone will not help, so I simply take picture, like first time (delete picture immediate after), and continue to use phone normally. I’m just confused what the reason is?

  • Iphone 4s won't turn on, but flash light is on

    Hello all, I have an iPhone 4s which is approx 5 weeks old, has never been dropped and has no water damage. The other day the flash light came on and I couldn't get it off but the phone was working perfectly fine. Then the phone died and now I can not get it to turn on. When you plug it into the computer it is not recognized and the screen is just completely black there are no signs of it saying its charging or anything, all that happens is the flash light turns back on. I have tried pressing all the various buttons for various amounts of time, both plugged into the computer and not plugged in, but nothing seems to work. I am currently in the Galapagos Islands for another 3 weeks so I can't go to any places to get any help and it is my only camera here so it's a serious bummer. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know, it is greatly appreciated!!!

    personally the only time i have seen this is with liquid damage or fake parts fitted to the device
    (if it is fake parts apple will have to deny service)
    under the tab in the dock connector you should see a small sticker in the middle (white is good, orange/red is liquid)
    also the same applies to the bottom of the headset jack in the top of your handset
    if you have any further issue or still not sure as to why this is happening simply book a genius bar appointment at your local apple store via www.apple.com/retail

  • Flip (8220) LED notification light duration and control problems

    As I've read on the boards with regards to other models, the red LED notification light stops working after exactly 15 minutes. T-mobile customer service was unable to find a way to extend this so that it keeps flashing until I check the message. And so, after consulting the boards, I downloaded the BBAlerts app from handango. But the desktop Manager doesn't pick it up as a suitable app for my device.
    Any suggestions?

    This is a problem with all BB's!  The message lights always revert back to green after a certain amount of time.  It was one of my main complaints when I got the curve!  I know it's stupid...it makes no sense but you have to complain to BB.

    I don't think there is a 3rd app for that. the camera also uses the flash for auto focus so if it was disabled, the videos wouldn't be as good.

  • Led light used as a flash light

    Has anyone figured out how to turn the camera led flash on for a light.
    My wifes htc is able to use the led for a light at night to check your keys,read a map,etc
    also my uncles trac phone has an led light to be used as a flashlight.just wondered if any modders were working on this.(it's pretty bad when a trac prepaid phone has this feature and my uncle picks on me cause my bb can't do it.he calls it a crapberry.

    As long as you backup your data before you perform the upgrade, you'll be fine.
    By default, during the Upgrade of the OS, desktop manager will backup the data and restore it after the upgrade.
    You will see vast improvements with the upgrade.

  • HT204492 If you're using the paired remote and the Apple TV status light flashes white, the problem isn't with the remote.

    If you’re using the paired remote and the Apple TV status light flashes white, the problem isn’t with the remote.
    Then what is the problem since I have troubleshoot my remote, it is working but cannot do anything on apple TV?

    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)
