N95 camera light staying on!!

Not sure if Im in the correct section for this post? anyway..
I got a N95 8GB and up until about 2 hours ago no probs with it!!
Pulled the phone out of my pocket and the camera light on the back was lit up, never seen this before!!
Slid the phone open and screen was black but the buttons were lit up, so phone was still on.
Turned phone on and off about 3 times and screen came back to normal but camera light still on.
Phone works fine apart from I cannot turn this camera light off, as soon as I put the battery in the phone the light turns on!!!!
Any ideas what this can be?

I've had my N78 for 3 months and it just started the light-stuck-on thing. I'm sure this is going to run the battery down fast. I wonder if it happened because the phone was bumped against something when it was in my pocket? It looks like it would be really hard to take this phone apart. This is going to drain the battery fast, I'm sure. I hope someone can share some info on how to solve this problem.

  • N95 8GB camera light stay on all the time

    I have had the N95 for 5 months and have been very pleased with it. I have now developed a problem with the camera light. not sure how or when it happened. Other than the fact the camera light stays on all the time, the only way to get the light off is to remove the battery...!!!
    Is there a simple solution or does this need to be returned for repair

    Hi I've been having this same problem this week! I'm going to wipe my phone and re-install the software update and see if that works, otherwise it's off to Vodaphone to be repaired
    It's strange it's just suddenly started doing it, and it's been a while since I first installed the latest update, when it came out.

  • I dropped my iPhone 4S in the toilet. Now it won't shut off and the camera light stays on. What should I do?

    I dropped my iPhone 4S in the toilet. I dried it and shook out as much water as I could. I removed the SD card and put everything in a bowl of rice. It is still in there and everything appears to be working normally, but it won't shut off and the camera light stays on. I've tried the restart thing where you press and hold the pwr button and the home button. What should I do?

    camera light stays on
    center button does not work

    Probably an app running in the background. Double tap home button to bring up multitask dock. Hold one of the icons till it starts to jiggle and press the X on each icon. If that doesn't work hold the top button and the home button until the phone resets.

  • Green camera light stays on iMessage on Mac

    I have multiple user accounts set up on my Mac. On one of our accounts, when iMessage is turned on, the green camera light automatically comes on. I do not want the camera enabled due to this being a child's account. The strange thing is the green light does NOT come on for the other accounts.
    Please advise...

    Hi,
    It sounds like the Preferences are a window that is open and that it is set to the Video/Audio pane as this will "open" the camera each time the App is started.

  • My camera light stays on

    Does anyone know how to switch off the camera light?
    It really heats up the phone and drains the battery in less than half a day.

    Merci!
    Tried it, and did a factory reset too, but i fear it's a hardware issue.
    Thanks tho!

  • HT201412 My camera light is staying on any ideas why this is as its just started to happen

    My camera light is staying on any ideas why this is as its just started to happen and I have no idea what's happened or how to switch it off

    That also indicates a hardware issue with the power and/or home buttons.
    You need to bring the phone to an Apple store and have them check it out.

  • Camera flash light stayed on

    Had my nokia lumia 1020 4 days.After last charge the flash light stayed on,even when turned off.Got extremely warm.Then shut down.Cannot turn on now.Any one else had this problem?

    Hi, Ernie5. Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions! This seems to be an isolate case. Have you tried to press and hold the volume down and power keys? You can also try to charge the phone to make sure that it has enough battery left on it. Keep us posted on the outcome. Thanks!

  • Camera light on for no reason plus Virus?

    2 Questions this time. First, I've been having a lot of difficulty getting my battery to charge and stay charged. Finally I got it charging this evening, but when the computer turned on, the green camera light is also on. There are absolutely NO applications running except safari, so it's not on because of any applications using it. Does anyone know what to do about it, or if it will drain the battery?
    Second, I was transferring some files onto my friend's PC from a pen drive, which we found out has the winfixer virus. I looked it up and it seems it is not a virus which affects macs, which makes sense why it never even showed up on my computer. I was wondering though how I could have possibly gotten this virus and how to get rid of it?

    If you can't solve your issue and no one in the community can help, contact support to speak with a tech support agent at (800) 457-7777.

  • Why does the green light stay on at the top of my screen where pictures are taken?

    MacBook Pro, OSX 10.9.2  - at the top of the frame of the screen a green light stays on - I think this is the camera.  Is there a way to shut if off?

    This procedure may show which program is using the camera. It makes no changes, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. It will only work while the green LED is on. The instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    sudo lsof -Fc +D /L*/Cor*/*/*/AppleCamera.plugin | sed '2!d;s/^.//' | pbcopy
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. You don't need to post the warning.
    If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
    Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered.
    The output of the command will be automatically copied to the Clipboard. If the command produced no output, the Clipboard will be empty. Paste into a reply to this message.
    The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

  • How do I turn off the camera lights when recording a video with the Android Turbo?

    I want to use the Andriod Turbo camera video function in ambient lighting using the forward lens.  But when I start recording both lights stay on.  I can video with ambient using the look back lens.  Not as good a quality and harder to aim.
    Is there a setting that can turn off the lights until I want them?  How is it done?
    Thanks for the help.

    Thank You!  Problem solved.  I am a new user to 'smart phones' and my original question probably should have been "How Do I Find The Camera Settings Menu?"
    It wasn't obvious, but your reply got me searching again.  I found that if you drag your finger from the left side of the screen to the center the semi-circular menu appears on the left.  There I found the light control and other options.
    I didn't know it existed and the manufacturer's manual that came with the phone gave no instructions on the camera operation.
    abcdefg4, your comment helped me search a little harder.  Thank you again.

  • Camera flash stays on all the time

    I dropped my iphone and the camera is on all the time. I've turned the phone off and the light stays on.  I've also taken some pictures. Any help I would be indebted !!

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.
    Otherwise, Out of Warranty replacement from Apple for $149US.  Dropping it has most likely damaged the device.

  • Iphone 4 light stays on

    my iphone 4 light stays on even if the phone is switched off...... what do i do?

    I've now got the same problem. I was just using my phone then after finishing what I was doing noticed my iphone camera light was on. Tried everything. Went through all the settings. Turning the phone off. A restore, and still not fixed.
    The light stayed on all through the restore!
    I've also found that the camera does indeed turn off if I was to slightly bend the phone.
    The light being on also makes the phone overheat. I got a message on the phone soon after this happened that the iphone was overheating...
    If there is a fix for this without having to go to an apple store i'd like to hear it as the closest apple store is about 3 hours away...
    Would the telco (Vodafone AU) replace the phone if I take it in to them?
