My Galaxy S3 just started this weird behavior. When I close down the camera app, the flash goes off for about 2 seconds. Very annoying. Is there a way to fix this?
Flash is turned off inside the camera app. I have restarted Android, but no difference.

I've been stunned by how different Samsung's camera behaves compared to the other devices I've tested camera preview stuff with.
Mind you, this is in 2.1 so the SDK 8 Camera.getZoomRatios() and Camera.isZooomSupported() are not available.
Looking at the Camera.getParameters().flatten() result shows that the common "zoom-supported" that I see in HTC, N1, and Mototrolla devices is not there.
Instead there's something called "digi-zoom". I couldnt find any documentation or posts about its usage but a little experimenting revealed it takes numerals 1..10 as string and will zoom accordingly. I have no idea what the ratios would be.
Also, there's some madness with the flash mode on the Galaxy S Epic that I have tested with.
Calls to getSupportedFlashModes() return only auto,on,off. There is no torch supported.
However, if you do params.setFlashMode(Camera.Parameters.FLASH_MODE_TORCH) it will turn the LED on!
Sadly, subsequently setting it to FLASH_MODE_OFF or FLASH_MODE_AUTO does not turn the LED off! It's stuck on until Camera.release(), or maybe Camera.stopPreview(), I havent traced into it yet to see which actually turns it off.
I suppose that's why Samsung doesnt return torch in the supported list. I'd prefer not to have to stop and restart the preview to turn it off for this model.
I need a Flash Player to watch flash videos on HTC Explorer and Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830.Which is the best ? Or should I install a browser ?
View 8 Replies View RelatedMy device is a Galaxy Y, and has no official support from both the CM7 or the MIUi teams. There is CM7 build by a developer here on the XDA device thread, but it isn't completely stable due to lack of closed source drivers from Qualcomm.
Since MIUi is only available on MDPI and above devices, I have resorted to taking files from other ports for LDPI devices.
I was very successful in booting a release of MIUi I had made the previous day, but the browser kept encountering FC errors. There is already a port of MIUi available on my device forum, and that has the same problem too. I have taken a logcat, but I am completely lost as to why it keeps FCing.
Here is a segment of the logcat that is relevant to the issue at hand.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am currently using a Samsung Galaxy Note LTE and this phone is really getting on my nerves. Sometimes I am using an app halfway and it suddenly auto-close for absolutely no reason. Just to note, it's running on Android 4.0.4 ICS. GT-N7005
Maybe I should have bought an GS3 or something else other than this garbage.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have Froyo and I installed the flash beta, and flash sites work but my browser will close itself within about 30 seconds. I uninstalled flash and I had no more problems, and then I tried installing it again and the problems came back.
Has anyone else had this problem? and if so, are there any solutions to this besides uninstalling flash?
If you could only choose one of these, which would you have chosen for the Fascinate? (Obviously it would be best to have both).
View 8 Replies View RelatedI've bought a Alps Ipegtop Z26 a few days ago, and after a mistake, i need to reflash a rom stock But, i saw that my version was V06, and i can't find it...So, i reflash with the V05 version...
After few problems (bootloop...) ALL works except CAMERA
She's REVERSED !!!
I have test to exchange some lib fils from my first backup (V06) to my actual rom, but it didn't woks...
I was wondering if anyone has a cure for this. The phone is rooted and on Villain 5.x. I've recently started using the camera and noticed that it will abruptly close on me - no force close message or anything - just back to the Home screen. A reboot seems to fix it for a few snaps, then the same again.

When I am having a conversation thread and I am responding, I open settings, attach, from camera, take a picture, and hit save. Once I hit save, Handcent force closes. I have tried to uninstall it and re-install it. I tried the same thing on the stock app and at first it didn't work but then I went into rom manager and went into JT's stuff and downloaded the stock MMS.apk, that did the trick for the stock messaging app but Handcent is still doing the same thing.
I have taken videos with the Droid in the past, but the past few days, as soon as i toggle the camera switch UP to capture a video, it gives me a force close screen. i have restarted the phone a few times, but same thing..
also, sometimes the camera button does nothing when trying to use it to bring up camera , i have to manually go to drop down list of apps to get to it. not a HUGE problem, but still a problem when it doesn't do what its made to do.
What i need to do when i install flash player , i asking for this because when i install flash player i trying to watch movies online, but nothing happens at all , so how i need to activate flash player?

I have already seen this link [URL]...
I am trying to flash the PDA, Phone and CSC back all to normal stock. I have downloaded a firmware and I only have one file with a .dll file. The one file I have is named "I9100BOKK1_I9100TMUKK1_I9100BOKJ1_HOME.tar.md 5" I have extracted the files from here also and it contains boot.bin, cache.img, factoryfs.img, hidden.img, modem.bin, param.lfs, Sbl.bin and zImage.
How with these files and Odin do I flash all three parts. I can't see how to use these files on the above link with instructions for flashing and rooting.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently got my first android phone - Samsung Galaxy W.
I decided to install a custom rom. Before that i had to root my phone which i did without any problems. After that i had to flash ClockworkMod v5.5.0.4. I downloaded the file which was in zip however i didn't extract it (which is what i should have done) and copied into my phone's memory. After that i put this code in the command promt
adb shell
$su
#dd if=/sdcard/
recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-ancora.zip of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
After rebooting the phone i can only get into the download mode in which nothing happens. And when i connent the phone to my pc the computer doesn't detect that my phone is connected. What shall i do now? Is my phone a brick now?
I have a Galaxy SII SGH-I727 and my computer does not recognize my phone as a USB device. I've already tried several other cables and computers. Odin is unfortunately not an option for me. I am trying to unroot my phone (I understand that flashing to a stock ROM unroots it...I hope) so that I can send it in since rooting it voids the warranty.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Galaxy S2 (ATT) and I want to use a USB Inspection Camera with it. The inspection camera is basically a USB webcam at the end of a long USB cable. It has LED lights and is usually waterproofed.
So my plan is to use the Android phone with the USB Inspection camera with OTG. Can this be done?
I've tried to search OTG and webcam, but I just get "using your android phone as a webcam". But I want to use a USB webcam with my android phone.
So i bought a galaxy tab 3.70 gb about 1 year ago. But this week my camera wouldnt work. The buttons work fine but doesnt do anything and my screen is just black. There is nothing covering the camera no smuges or anything.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI got a Samsung Galaxy S, through Bell and it has 2.2 on it... it has a feature that allows me to end applications like going CTRL+ALT+DEL in windows, because it shows the battery usage so it makes me a little more concerned about that, but anyways now some apps are force closing, crashing sometimes.. is it best to not force close any apps? has anyone had the same problem for the same reason? Some apps i just cant "quit" like in windows.
