Increase your screen time out setting or try reinstalling the android software from Sony Update Service. Maybe one of the camera applications files have been corrupted or something

Thanks I'll try both of those

Use camera apps available on play store like zoom camera FX, camera 360, etc..

So there's no way to do this without a third party apple? Maybe a modded camera apk?

How to test thrill camera LED?

It appears my camera LED stopped working. Does anyone know how to test it? I've tried a flashlight app but nothing happens.any ideas?
Sent from my LG-P925g using xda app-developers app
Did you try taking a picture or video with the light on in the settings? I also went into the hidden menu and did the Camera Test. That also should show you if the flash is working or not.
To access hidden menu you need to dial 3845#*925# or you can create a shortcut with Anycut.
Have you tried rebooting? That happened to me once when I was out and about and a reboot did the trick

I've rebooted a number of times still nothing. I'm staying to think the LED is burnt out.

If you know how to solder, you could always solder a new one on.

the led shouldn't have burned out already they have a hugely long life could of just broke a solder or something

Must have been a software glitch. After a factory test to fix another problem it works fine now.
Thank you for trying to help

If that appears only while using the Camera it's should be lens dirty, i suggest you to sent it to your service center.

+1. It seems to be software related. I tried factory reset too. It didn't help

My other One works perfect. On this one I get that app drawer dim, small amount of lag, and ocasional screen unrisponsiveness. Odd thing is both phones are stock 4.3 and about same production date. Maybe it's the colour of the phone ?

Could it be that some other apps are acting up?

I don't think so. I had egzactly the same apps on both my phones and only the black one is acting up. The silver one is working fine. So it must be the colour ?

It looks like multitasking is the main reason for this. I can replicate it by opening few apps and then going to app drawer

Well I can't replicate the problem..jus hope that HTC will fix it in the next update..
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I had the same issue using the last 4.3 based ViperOne ROM. Pretty sure I remember reading about it being due to the animation scale being 0.5
Didn't really find it to be an annoyance at all, and was only maybe 1 in 7 times that it occurred so never really worried about it

Camera is bad in indoors at all. For more natural fotos you have to change from auto scene to manual and select WB Auto Light in Exposure menu. Work for me. In some background still too yellow. But not as much.
