Camera Flash, Can't turn it off! - Motorola Droid and Milestone General

I can't turn the flash off on my camera! Please help! The options for off are whited out. Thankyou
I'm on froyo.

Tried uninstalling the LED-app or something? or did it happen with the camera app - then you might have a chance deleting the app data in the app manager. If nothing else works, try a wipe.

not exactly sure, but do you have a torch app and forgot to turn it off or have CM and on the notification control bar hit a thunderbolt icon?

[Q] i did something, lockscreen is gone?!

alright so i just got darky 9.3, great rom, love the newly added call recording feature.. uhm i dont know what i did to cause this, but for some reason my lockscreen seems to have completely dissapeared. it can lock to the screen off mode, but when i unlock it, i dont see any lockscreen, it just goes right back to my homescreen, or whatever app i had opened before i locked it
any ideas what might have caused this? or how i can fix this WITHOUT having to reflash the rom, and lose all my settings?
I don't know how you did it, but if playing with settings/display/unlock screen doesn't help, you can download one of the market apps for disabling lock screen and try to force lock screen on from there.

^^^^ this, or if nothing works flash a new theme.
if you remember how you did it,just tell me...lockscreen is annoying so im using NO LOCK

"N" icon pops up every time...

Hello, since I've rooted my phone (stock rom 2.2.2), I have an annoying glitch with the "n" icon popping up on every icon/app installed after I rooted my phone, when I disconnect it from USB (after it scans the SD card, and memory and apps in the notification bar)
No matter if I've already launched those apps, it still pops up on their icons (i'm talking about the little "N" in a blue circle)
What could be wrong ? How to correct that ?
Thanks ! :good:
EDIT: only the modded camera app (from there : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090785a ) and superuser app have the issue, and only in the application menu... they do not show the "N" icon on the home menu. So weird ?!
Is there any way to get rid of that "N" icon popping up only on those 2 apps ?
I have to say I dun really know the cause of recurring N
but I once had same problem of recurring N in specific apps that I had froozen n defrosted by Titanium Backup!
try them after deleting app cache and data. It worked for me!
if that doesn't work, we'll go for more desperate measures!!
"N" pops up whenever you install new apps, once you start that app, it should disappear. Your issue seems to be weird, try clearing cache and re-boot your device.
.... I don't understand what's the N icon :/
N → New

'N' isn't actually icon but a small overlay over real icon. It is kind of notification which shows a installed app hasn't yet been started/run from app drawer!!
You are still on froyo right? Its normal.. try clearing cache, dalvik everything.. or, just ignore it.. hehe.. happened to me once..

Yea ours does it too there are a couple different guides out there just look for them you will find them

I don't know about the Active, but on the regular S4 the LED light from the "hold volume up button" is noticeably dimmer than when you activate it with apps. I'm using the Notification Toggle app from the Play Store to put the LED toggle in the notification panel. It's nearly as convenient as using the volume button and it's brighter without any risk of accidental activation in your pocket.

Yea it does have that option, just not the volume up with the screen off. You have to hold the brightness slider icon in the notification panel to activate it.
Not to be a bother, but I notice it works on some peoples phones and not others. Is there a special thing that needs to be done to get the vol-up for torch working? I know how to get to the secret settings, and they're set for me. It doesn't light up for me . Any advice?
Edit:
I'm running stock rooted with Xposed and Nottach Xposed
Use power toggles from playstore. The best

NottachXposed has both of those options. The volume up function is in the Lockscreen settings. You actually don't need Nottach to access it. It's just a convenient shortcut.

I think you need a deodexed ROM. Didn't work for me until I flashed the Mint Jelly ROM (which I recommend :good.

Alright, i'll give that a try. Not opposed to flashing roms, especially if they remove all this Samsung + ATT bloatware Thanks for your help.
Just an update.
I'm not sure if it was having a deodex rom, or just simply being on Android 4.2.2 (Might be the case). But my light is working now with screen off!
EDIT:
One more thing. Enabling this setting will create a wakelock that'll keep your phone at the lowest mhz you set it to instead of letting it go into deep sleep. It's a nice setting, but at the battery cost... it's something that isn't good enough for me yet. I have a profile setup in tasker for TelsaLED on with a shake on the locked homescreen to try my best and mimic this functionality (I was looking for something that starts up at boot, and flips the LED on from lockscreen). I know there's another flashlight that does this as well, but I ran into the problem of it not booting on startup, where as I use Tasker for other functionality so it starts up 100% of the time. It's not 100% since the LED takes a little to flip on... but it's better than having to unlock.
JUST an FYI to save people the feeling of underwhelming when it starts sapping your battery mercilessly!

thats absolutly not true, i use the feature on nottachs xposed app and my phone goes into DEEP SLEEP using ktz kernel,and there is another mod that u can use called 3 minit but you need framework but that has torch when the lock screen is on by pressing the home button,but i found i would have the light on by accident ,idk how but it would jsut be on with that mod.
3 minit work pretty well you can set it to long press home
Try flashlight led genius from playstore , no root need , you shake it when your on the lockscreen,awesome app

I'm going to stick with what I think then. After I flip on the light.. it never goes back into deep sleep. Try it yourself. I'll take a look at 3 minit
FYI the wakelock it made was PhoneWindowManager.mTorchlightWakeLock
This is a feature in CM10.1. You can add it under lock screen options for long press home button. Absolutely love it.

I think your Android version needs to be 4.2.2 to do the torchlight thing through Nova. I could be wrong though.
Ok another update on this.
Since djmouse wasnt getting any sort of wakelock, I decided to try again getting it working. I enabled it through xposed instead of the nova shortcut.... and for some reason it's letting me go to deep sleep now! ... I also flashed crossbreeder... so that might be the savior. Not sure, but happy to report the wakelock seems to be lifted. I'll report back after a few days if it stays that way.
THanks djmouse for challenging me to try it again!
Using an app called Torchie, just press both 'volume buttons' together to turn on/off torch anytime. It runs as a background service and just works anytime, even when screen off (if enabled from Torchie Settings). It kinda make your phone feel like a conventional battery operated torch. No root required.

Flashlight gone from quick settings

Apparently I didn't use my flashlight app enough and it fell out of my quick settings. I can see how to get rid of something, but I can't find anything on how to get it back. I also don't see it as an app anywhere else.

Are you rooted? Have you made any changes? Maybe you installed something to change it
Not rooted, no new apps. I used the WiFi hotspot and then the flashlight went away.

I found another thread with the same problem but no solution.

Is there an answer or am I just SOL?
It came back! I didn't do anything, my flashlight is just in the quick settings again. Yay!?

I wonder what the "time limit" is. I have never used the cast screen button in quick toggles and its still there. I've never lost a toggle.
It will also disappear if you have the camera app open.

Is it certain that it uses time or usage frequency to decide to show something or not? I'm thinking that it is more likely that the flash device crashed, so it took away that which was inaccessible. A reboot made the device accessible again, and back it comes.
Flashlight disappeared from Nexus 6p.
Flashlight disappeared from Nexus 6p and camera app couldn't be started, crashes.
Device restart resolved the problem.
Solution:
The solution is simple. Go to Google app and do a voice command to disable flashlight. Be sure that the Google app give you the message that the flashlight is off. Restart the system and look for the flashlight tile. It should be back.
This works on the 6P with Android 7.1.1
Pull down the Quick Setting Menu. When you do, a pencil will be displayed on the notification line.
Tap the pencil and you will be able to edit the quick settings menu.

How to restore flashlight on Quick Settings

Hi.
I have 5.0.2 andall of a sudden, the flashlight icon on the Quick Settings bar dissapeared.
Anybody knows how to restore it back??
Thanks!!
Lollipop puts the things into the quick settings that are often used (exept some standard settings like wifi which stay there independent from usage). So if you start the flashlight a few times from the settings menu it should show up in the quick settings again. I´ve got the same with gps.
hmmm...I just noticed this. I don't even find a flashlight app in the drawer anymore. What happened here?
It used to be there and I liked the easy accessibility of it. I want the flashlight to be locked in the quick settings.

Where is the flashlight in the Settings??? I have no flashlight there! Please post a screenshot of what you have on yours. Thanks!
You´re right,there isn´t a flashlight app in the drawer and I even don´t find a way to activate it in the settings....
Restart your phone.
Restart
Usually a restart fixes this for me!
I've restarted the phone several times since then but never came back...
My only hope is to search again the command to clear the data for system ui and see if that works or not. It did it for one option once, maybe it can make it for the flashlight again...
I had mine disappear too. It came back after I downloaded another Flashlight App and used it, but that may have been a coincidence.
i have restarted the phone and nothing happened. i dont even know where to locate torch in the phone other than quick settings
Try taking a photo with the flash turned on and check your quick settings after.

Wiping cache partition in twrp worked for me.
I had faced the same issue. But after I turned off and turned on I got my flashlight back on quicklaunch.
Turn on camera flash and take some photos or make a video with your flash on then restart your phone.. I did and it worked on motog2 xt1068...
The quick settings are managed based on the settings you use frequently
I have taken some photos with flash and got the torch in quick settings. thanks a lot..
