Flashlight doesn't work, but camera flash does - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using a stock xt1095 which I bought with a broken LCD and replaced it. First time I went to use the flashlight I found out it didn't work. The camera flash does work however, but I can't get the flashlight to work through the quick settings or any third party apps.
Any ideas?

Bump...I don't really see how it could be a hardware issue because the flash works for the camera. I did replace the screen and everything else is working fine. Is everyone else's flashlight working on stock marshmallow?

Just reflash, it solves alot of problems

Well it's completely stock as in no root, stock recovery, and I just got it recently so it was factory wiped before I got it. I was hoping I could fix this issue without rooting and installing a custom recovery since I longer have a backup phone and I'm working 70+ hour weeks right now.

Bump...I realized the camera flash only lights up one side of the flash instead of both. Is this normal behavior? Maybe there is a separate connector for the other side that isn't making good contact? I'm just not looking forward to taking it apart again, but I need the flashlight.

Camera app or camera broken?

When I try to open the camera app, it opens and it's just a black screen. It doesn't even show the grey bottom part with the options.
Could the actual camera be broken? Is there any way to fix it?
I've also like to mention that the camera 360 app force closes on start

Best way to debug is wipe and flash stock.
PS logs help.
I've flashed several roms and no change. The led won't turn on either using the torch.
I'm pretty sure it's hardware. The problem is is that I bought it off eBay, and the bootloader is unlocked.
What are my options?

Flash the correct radio for the OS. Using Froyo? At least 4.06.
I've tried the two korean radius and the stock 4.06. No progress.
Is there any repair services that will fix it for cheap?

Factory reset not working.. Ideas?

I'm rooted (VZW) and use most of the Xposed modules. I woke up this morning and tried to use touchless controls. Didn't work so I did some investigating. Noticed it was turned off so I turned it on. Didn't work. Rebooted then noticed that reboots turned touchless control off. I tried Google now and while it worked, I didn't hear the usual sound that plays once it's acknowledged "Google". From there I noticed I had no sound whatsoever. Bluetooth was on. I turned it off, sound came back but not touchless controls.
Last night I remembered trying to install themed Google keyboards. While it worked, it took uninstalling the stock Google keyboard, installing the one from Google play, uninstalling Google play version, then installing the themed apk. I had since backed up all my apps, meaning I've written over the stock keyboard. Now I don't really think this would effect touchless controls, since I can't seem to fix them, I figured I'd factory reset and see what happened. Unfortunately, it doesn't work through settings. Just reboots my phone. Any ideas? I've yet to try it through a stock recovery or something similar. I've yet to find answers on how that works on this phone (actually haven't searched yet).

If you rooted using PwnMyMoto then it has overwritten the stock recovery. Basically it writes an Android system without write protection on the recovery partition when you root. You will have to flash stock recovery back and then a factory reset will work.

Excellent, thanks.
I've searched for a possible cause for the touchless controls issue but to no avail. Have you heard anyone having these issues?

Excuse me for butting in. I've been checking out some threads for the Moto X on both the Q&A and General boards for some time and your the first person that has written about such an issue as far as I've seen. Very strange. Hopefully that factory reset works in your favor.

Please, butt in! I'm hoping to avoid going to stock recovery. Which I'm assuming requires unrooting. I was also having sound issues. No sound until I went into settings and went through ring tones. None would work, no sound. Until I cleared settings from recents and then went back into it and tried again. Then it would work. I began deleting all root apps. It was a module within Xposed. Not sure which but now sound works as it should. I've since deleted all root apps but still haven't fixed touchless controls. It almost seems as if the microphone for touchless isn't working? Aren't there two microphones on this device?

So you've removed Xposed and all modules? Have you rebooted the system since removing them? If I were in your position, I would want to completely unroot and start fresh because if it's a problem with the microphone, it's covered under warranty and you need to get a replacement.
You can follow this tutorial to return to stock, just make sure you download the correct version for your phone. If you're familiar with adb and fastboot, it may be easier to just fastboot flash recovery and system and that should return you to 100% stock unrooted.

Yes, rebooted so much thought I was going to wear out the power button lol. I've switched to my G2 to prepare to go to stock on the X. Was just hoping to avoid going to the VZW store, I really hate dealing those people. Loathe it.
I'm familiar with adb. Just need a good internet connection. I have to use hotspot for internet where I live and while we have TWRP on the G2, no bypass on wireless tether. I thought about trying the method I used on the X but I'm not savvy enough to know if that'll break something. .bak isn't always a sure thing.
Did you have a link to the stock file? I can search it but it looked like in your post you had it.
Edit: all these new phones forgot about the S4. There's my hotspot.
Thanks for help bro

Never did.. Only thing I didn't return to stock was the keyboard. Still used the Google keyboard, but not the built in Google keyboard. Have no idea if that's what it was but it's the only thing I couldn't get back to stock.

Very strange indeed, but good that that you have your phone working again.
Did you ever try deleting touchless controls data/cache uninstalling update, then reinstalling the update?

No I sure didn't. I didn't even think about that. Now that you say that, I remember updating that the night before it failed.

[Q] Unable to answer incoming calls if screen unlocked

I have a XT1053 (T-Mobile) on stock 4.4.3 that is rooted. I've noticed within the past couple weeks that if I get an incoming call while the screen is unlocked, I can't pick up the call because the incoming call screen will not come up. The navbar disappears and the icon shows in the statusbar, but I can't drag the statusbar down. All other touch screen interaction works like normal. If the call comes while the screen is off, the incoming call screen shows up like normal. As you can understand this is a bit annoying. I disabled Xposed completely and tested it after a reboot but that didn't fix it. Has anybody encountered this or know of a fix? I really don't want to do a factory reset as I have my phone the way I like it, but I understand if it is needed.
Thanks
Have you uninstalled all the xposed apps as well as the framework?

I haven't but that shouldn't make a difference if I completely uninstalled the exposed framework.

Not sure why I couldn't find your thread. I thought it would come to this unfortunately. I'm trying to think of anything I could've done but I've not messed with anything that I know could cause issues.

[Q] Preproduction HTC One hardware -- No Camera!

Hello there,
This is likely a strange scenario. I got a preproduction HTC One M7 from a friend who works at a wireless carrier... it was just an extra phone that he had since I had lost mine.
It is preproduction hardware... so the exterior looks nothing like the normal HTC Ones. But all the internal guts are the same... except for the camera! It does not have a rear-facing camera! So when I got the phone, if I opened the camera app, it would only open and use the front facing camera. Ok, no biggie, it was a free phone after all!
But then I started to get creative, and unlocked, rooted, and installed Cyanogenmod on the phone. Interestingly enough, there was no camera app on the phone. So I went and downloaded Google Camera. And now... when I open this camera app (or any of the dozen that I've tried), I get an error saying "Camera Error. Can't connect to the camera.", and then the app closes. I'm assuming that is because it is trying to open the app with starting up the rear camera. I tried finding an app that might only open the front camera, but couldn't find an app that worked.
Any ideas? Unfortunately, while I made a Nandroid of my previous stock ROM, I didn't realize that it would get blown away when I rooted and installed Cyanogenmod (i.e. the Nandroid was sitting in the /sdcard folder). So I can't even get back to a version of firmware where the camera works!
Thanks,
mattchoo

No notification sounds

Opened up my phone to replace the middle plate, removed battery and all that but started back up fine. Now I notice there is no notification sounds, the speaker works for all other stuff like YouTube, volume steps, ringtone...but not MMS or hangouts.
Strange, any input?

Its not app related since even in the main system menu it doesn't work. I went back to stock image and nothing. I've read that doing a factory reset OEM lock will fix it.
All other audio works. Can't be because I opened my phone, I refuse to believe that.

There is only a couple or cables that need disconnecting when swapping out the middle plate. So no, because it doesn't seem necessary. The cables are battery and wireless charging related...and since I'm powered on I assume its fine.
If anything I'll try hard reset and see what happens.

On chroma latest build, but was working before I opened it up.
I clean flashed AOiSP also, then restored to stock, now back to chroma.
Maybe I can try M, but this is a known problem I guess when googling around.

I asked if m because as a feature, there are no notification sounds when the screen is on, only when the screen is off. you still get notifications, and they vibrate, but no notification sounds with the screen on.
