I'm new to this site and I'm hoping someone can help me or point me in the right direction.
I recently got my Idol 3 today, which I'm enjoying very much and is in great working condition, however my camera flash will not activate. I've tried the shortcut in the settings menu to activate the flashlight, a separate flashlight app, and the camera itself to no avail. I've browsed this forum and searched in google, but nothing has been helpful thus far.
Has anyone had a similar problem or have suggestions? Thanks.

You seem to have a defective unit. This should be covered by the warranty. Contact Alcatel and they should take care of you by replacing it.

If the flashlight control on the notification shade is not turning on your LED flash - then you have a defective unit. I would suggest a system reset, and if that does not help, get with Alcatel support to send the device back for a replacement.

Hi there.
I don't know when, but someday I get the camera apps lost.
I had the original HTC Rom 1.15.
I did an hard reset but nothing.
I re-fleshed with many roms but nothing.
Anyone could help me?
Many thanks
Almost sounds like a hardware issue to me... but on the other hand if the camera died I still can't see why the camera application wouldn't launch anyway.
My camera suddenly stopped working, I took pictures yesterday as usual but this morning when I tried to take some, well the camera just doesn't want to launch itself..
I tried to go back to official roms and such but it didn't change a thing, is there a solution please I don't wanna say goodbye to my qtek9100 camera function
Anyone please? I really need some help
yo, anyone alive please?
you haven't given much information. Does the camera app start with a black screen? Have you tried to start the app via the shortcut instead of the button. If the camera was bad i'd think the software would still run. Could your button be bad?
No nothing works, it's not even recognized by the pda anymore, I tried to launch it with any way possible, I tried to reflash but it's still not recognized. I also looked if the camera was ok (inside the pda, dunno how to say) but it was still in place, it suddenly stopped being recognized after flashing a rom radio
I didn't really get more answer lol
Anyone please?
if you have problems with camera after flshing original rom, then your hardware is broken.
Hello all,
I'm hoping someone an help with this.
I have already asked a few people, but no-one has been able to solve it just yet. I have faith though.
No matter which ROM I use (was using Vegan initially, then tried TnT Lite and even the stock TnT) when I try to use the camera it seems to "crash". The app loads, and I can interact with the app, but the camera screen seems to crash (colored lines for a split second, then nothing) then goes black. I can still change settings in the camera (such as change to video etc) but the camera screen is just black. When I click the shutter button to take picture, the picture appears at the top right in the little box but is just a green square.
Anyone any ideas?
Does it sound like a software issue? Or hardware?
I'm really hoping software as I don't want my tab to be broken.
I have not tried an nvflash yet, but probably going to do that tonight and fully reset it. Might that help?
Thanks in advance!
Mine was doing something like this. I found out with mine that when I opened the case, the camera had popped out of it's spot and wasn't pointing out the keyhole.
Somehow (I think from calibrating either the compass or the bubble level inside of an app), either my compass, g-sensor, and/or gyro calibration is really messed up. I've tried everything short of exchanging the xoom at BestBuy.
Now, although I can calibrate the compass and have it work inside of a specific 3rd party app (such as 3d compass), the arrow in google maps spins wildly and sky maps is completely useless (while holding the xoom in landscape and panning up or down, the screen begins to rotate/jerk left or right; with the xoom in portrait it jerks constantly to face either North or South).
Can someone please upload their akmd_set.txt file located in /data/misc? After too much searching, I believe that is my last chance of getting it working again. Also, if anyone has any ideas on how else to calibrate the sensors, it would be much appreciated!!
Thanks!
That doesn't sound like a calibration problem to me. Sounds more like faulty sensor or something.
Bad calibration wouldn't cause that unless you'd gotten it right on an axis.
You tried flashing a stock image?

Yep, tried a system restore followed by flashing a stock img. Could someone plz upload their akmd_set.txt file before I exchange this thing?
Bump.
Anyone, please?
I've been reading, searching, and loving these forums for a year and this is the first question I've asked. Anyone who is rooted can access the file from root explorer.
I've searched through the threads and do not see anyone with this issue, but would like to see if anyone is experiencing this -- I have had the One for about 3 weeks now and don't do a lot of recording. Now that I have tried to use the recording function, it isn't working. No issues with the camera, but have only successfully been able to get the video to work about 4 times. Tried rebooting -- no change. Was on 33R and just updated to 38R. Video immediately worked three times in a row. Tried to record again about a half hour later and not working again. Anyone else experiencing this issue or have any suggestions? Thank you.
Check if you have time lapse mode activated. I made the same mistake once.

Thank you for the quick response. Just checked and that setting is set to "Off." When I push the video button it clicks like it is taking a photo, but nothing happens. I did look at the files and they come up as "temp" files. Not a video or a picture. Any other thoughts/suggestions? I have posted this on the OnePlus One Technically forum and have received zero responses. I searched their forum and do not see anyone with this particular issue. I did send in a request for assistance with the company, however that will probably be several weeks for a response. Just trying any other places that I thought might have something I could try in the meantime. Thanks again.
