Camera flash bug?

I bought my g2x about a month ago on Craigslist and I thought everything worked fine, but I noticed that when I'm in the camera app that my flash doesn't come on at all unless its set to auto or if I'm in the camcorder. Is this bug?

Does your light turn on when it is switched off?

While in the regular camera no, only if I set to auto and take a picture it flashes, but if I try to set it to just stay on it doesn't come on at all only in the video recorder mode. And I noticed while its on in video mode if I switch the flash off it turns off and flashes for a second and stays off.

Because it works like that. The flash will only light up (when on) upon capturing.
It is already a flashlight when it stays on and not camera flash anymore.

But my problem is when its in the mode to take a picture why would you have the option of auto, on, and off ? So auto works and off works but to just have the flash stay on without taking a picutre doesn't work with my previous phones it would just stay one but anyway I guess it not to much of a problem. As long as it works.

If you want to make the led flash stay on, get a flash light or torch app.

Just bought a infuse

So I just bought an infuse from a Guy off craigslist and it works flawlessly except one thing. The led will not shut off when I try to use any camera app. I've checked the flash option is set to off.

So I figured it out. If I set the flash to on and take a pic, the flash shuts off and just flashes brighter then shuts off again until u hit the shutter button. But it I go to preview then hit back its on again. Is it a software glitch?

That's how it is intended to work. When set to on, it stays on permanent unless you are in review mode or out of app. Set it on auto mode, unless you want to force flash on. Auto mode turns it on when focussing and while taking a picture. Rest of the time its off.

So there's no way to take a picture without flash?

you're not up to date, att doesn't seem to host the update in all areas or for a very long time. the latest is uckh1
ok flashlight apps can make the led act all kinds of weird, I would uninstall all camera apps and all flashlight app and do a factory reset then update to uckh1 through Odin/heimdall, see if the problem persists and if so send it to Samsung. the flash should only be on for focus and for taking the shot in either auto or on mode. there is also an off mode. I keep it off and use night mode if I need to. the flash sux and I consider it a downgrade from the captivate which had no flash to mess up your photos. ok extra features are rarely a downgrade unless they are to cover up poor software or hardware but led flashes suck and people need to learn not to use them.

I downloaded the update via att servers. Issue still present. Hitting the off mode doesn't do anything. Only way to take pics without flash is to select on for the flash take a pic then the flash shuts off and then I hit the off mode and it stays off. Weird?
Which leaves to me believe that its a software bug. So ill try a reflash with that one unbick/ back to stock software .

Extened wifi range via hidden menu

Never seen any one post this tip so here is mine. The improvement was very noticeable. Discovered by me.
1. Use a different launcher that allows activites. (Launcher Pro) install.
2. Long press on homescreen click shortcut then goto activites.
3. Expand com.lge.hiddenmenu then click hiddenmenu, it should now be on homescreen.
4. Run hiddenmenu goto connectivity test. Uncheck power save. Lol.
Simple i know. But enjoy longer range and more power.

Hmm maybe software im running old v10c. Mines still unchecked. Sorry mate THX for the reply.
Btw. I unchecked, hit home button. Killed the process. Maybe it helps.

why would you need more WIFI range? And why do you think it's called "power save" ?
Data might have been more interesting.

Its one of the feature in acuras' rom -- the data transfer

Stuck in landscape mode

Searched around but didn't see anything.
I've rebooted a few times and pulled the battery. I've tapped it on all sides, etc. Phone is just stuck in landscape and won't rotate.
Any thoughts?

What ROM, etc...are you using? under display settings there's usually an option for auto-rotate, make sure it's checked. Also, if you're using a non-stock launcher, check the settings there for rotate, display mode, etc...

h8u so much right now lol thanks.
Rotate display decided it was going to disable itself. I have no explanation as to why but it, through it's own volition, and through no fault of my own disabled itself. It's been reeducated now.

I've found that it's usually the simple stuff, you just need somebody else to point it out. I've had my share of duh moments, too

Cool Ui change

Found an interesting ui change you can make from inside the stock settings. System settings-->My device - - > accessibility --> negative colors. Not sure if anyone else saw this. It's an interesting change.
Edit: Just noticed something I really don't like about it. The camera is negative as well when using this setting . Same with Facebook and seemingly all images. Looked nice before I noticed that haha. That is also why the image below displays normally atm
