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.

Are you using a Class 2 microSD, by chance?
Yes I am
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
I had an issue last week like this, actually. I was outside and every time I went to take a picture the phone just went black, and I had to do a full power-up. I noticed that when I shut the flash off, it worked fine. But then later, with the flash on, it took pictures okay.
So not sure what the problem was as it was not consistent but yet, I have had this issue.
thats odd i never had that happen , using class 2 16gb from HD2.
I had this issue on my phone all I did to fix it tapping the restore defulte setting on the camera app
Anyone have their display setting reset to max brightness after taking a picture or exit out of the camera app?
Sometimes when I take a picture with flash the phone will shutoff. When I turn it back on the brightness is at 100%.

yep, same problem here. I set a Tasker profile to turn auto brightness back on when exiting the camera app to fix it.

Tasker is an app in the market
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
I just wanted to add that it also happens when the phone comes out of a low power state. So if you have your low power profile click in at say 25%, then charge your phone above that, your brightness will be back to 100%.
I am also using tasker to set the brightness to auto-adjust every 2 minutes. Tasker is $6.95 in the market (but very useful for other things too).
Have had this happen a few times. Never knew the cause, just remember being blinded in the dark, lol

I have this same issue. Driving me crazy! Thanks for suggesting it might be the camera app. I think this is true. I'm going to try to remember if I ever open the camera to go into settings and reset Auto Brightness. Very annoying, but I do seem to think its related to the camera app.
When i go into the camera the brightness goes to full automatically and then when i exit it goes back to my previous setting

Same here. But if i use the auto brightness i have the issue that the brightness is still at 100% when leaving the cameraapp. Not funny i a dark room or outside at night
Using ninja 716 my camera is not working properly. The flash isn't working. I have it set on auto and it doesn't flash. I try to turn it on manuelly and it wont turn on. Anyone know why this is and how I can fix it. When I had the stock camera on it works.

It works. Sometimes, you have to hold down the button for it to turn on.
Flash isn't sensitive to light so you'll get duel LED lights and flash someones face off the picture. so, yeah.
Also, you might have issues with recording video from the Record Video app.
Instead, within the camera, click the options tab and click video, and your screen won't go black, lol. worked for me.
Is there any way that allows infuse owners to use the bright flash that our led bulb produces after the first flash when taking photos ?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
First flash? like a pre flash? if you set the camera to flash on and tap the screen it will light up before taking the picture...
Do you mean as a flashlight? Or what?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
When you take a picture a preflash shoots and then a big and powerful flash shoots, I know there are certain apps which allow you to turn on the pre flash and use it as a flashlight ... but I'm wondering if there's any way to use the really powerful flash as a flashlight.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
TeslaLED will allow you to use the flash as a flashlight but I haven't found any apps that allow you to use the LEDs at their max potential (and haven't looked for any either).
Tiny flashlight+LED app free on market will allow to use the camera led anytime through the app itself or widget.
I dont know if its on the MAX it can yet im sure that thing its bright enough!!
Besides using the LED to its max power for an extense period of time will probably damage it maybe thats why it only max powers for a seconds on the photos, you can see the flash on video recording its not as bright as the final picture flash power.

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.

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 .
