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

  • Nokia N97 Camera Flash In The Dark

    My N97 is already currently being repaired in a Nokia Service Centre however not for this reason, i have just remembered that when i take a photo in the black or in the dark outside, and i use the flash, it takes the photo and most times not always you see a like white blob down the left side of the photo, anyone know why? or if this can be fixed? and if so how do i contact Nokia Service to tell them to repair it?

    I didn't need any paperwork, i don't think you should.
    It is a well known problem with the N97, if you do need anything, you may need a photo on your phone to show the problem or be able to show the scratches on the camera but you may not need to do that, just tell them your problem and it will click for them what it is as they replace them everyday now.
    Obviously how quick he can do it, depends on how much work that dealer has, but with me he said it would be done within 30minutes, any longer and he would drop it home for me.......great customer service

  • Lumia 920: Nokia Camera flash won't function

    hi guys,
    just updated to Nokia camera from Nokia pro cam...afterwards my flash from my lumia 920 wont function anymore. anybody experienced the same thing before? need your assistance..
    Moderator's note: We have amended the title of this post as this was moved from another thread.

    Are you talking about the light that comes before you take a picture ? , thats not flash it's flash assist to let the phone Auto Focus work probably , you can turn it off from settings (Sorry i have no WP8 phone yet so i can't tell you where exactly , but other reviewers touched on this before.

  • Camera Flash not working on N95

    Hey everyone hopefully you can help me out. I received an apparently water damaged N95 (only know this because of the red water indicator, internally the phone looks very clean with no signs of corrosion anywhere).
    Everything on the phone is completely functional apart from the camera flash in any setting. I have replaced the whole camera lens assembly with flash LED and ribbon from another working phone but STILL it does not work. I have also done a firmware update.
    Im guessing ive tried everything and its a mainboard hardware fault?
    Can anyone advise me on anything else or how i would go about fixing the problem?
    Thanks in advance.
    Andy

    I forgot to mention the red light comes on when recording a video but thats all. :mansurprised:
    Im going to phone a nokia repair centre tomorrow, tell them everything ive said here and see what my options are, if any. Does a nokia repair centre repair phones down to component level or just scrap the motherboard for a new one? Not much of a repair centre if they do.
    Anyhow ill see what happens.

  • 6220 classic - camera flash not working

    Hi,
    I have a problem with the 6220 classic's camera flash. When I'm taking pictures, sometimes it does not work at all - no matter if I set the flash mode to "always on" or "red eye".
    What bugs me is the fact that the flash sometimes decides to work, and sometimes it doesn't. At first, when I tried the camera, the flash was always working (IIRC). Now, it rarely works - sometimes, a photo session seems to work and flash goes off every time, but then, at the next session, I just can't get it to work (by session, I mean taking a bunch of pictures and then turning off the camera mode by turning the switch on the phone).
    I tried to figure out what might be going on. At first I tried the phone in a pitch dark place - still, the flash is silent. Then I tried restarting the phone. No luck.
    Any ideas what else I might try (maybe trying to fully-charge the phone and then test the flash, maybe reverting the phone to factory settings), before I turn the phone to service?

    did you try to update your phone to the latest firmware?
     http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/download-software/device-software-update
    or via FOTA right off your phone.
    make sure you always do a back up of your data before doing any of this. if this continues to happen even after update i would take it to nokia care for them to have a look.

  • Nokia Observation Camera not able to remember GPRS...

    Hello!
    I have an old nokia observation camera (Type: PT-2, model: Nokia Observation Camera) that works fine except it cannot remember changes made to one setting, namely the GPRS contact name. I am guessing that the flash memory of the device has gone bad but have no way of verifying this.
    Is there anything I can do about this? Can I change the 8MB flash and then reinstall or won't I be able to use the device with a empty memory?
    Is it possible to change the default setting in the firmware?
    This product has been out of production for at least 10 years, would it be possible to get sources and other resources for this device?
    Thanks!

    Unfortunately all support material appertaining to PT-2 has long since been archived with loss of software updater and such like.

  • 6220 Classic Camera flash

    When camera flash is set to Auto, shouldn't flash automatic go off when I take a picture in a dark enviorment? With a dark enviorment I mean that if I don't set the Flash to On the picture will be almost black. I just tried it in a room with no window and no light, still it didn't use the flash. With the N73 it works as expected, the flash goes of, but the 6220 Classic, the flash doesn't go off. Is this a bug in the software or maybee it's just my phone.
