Help Camera Flash

Does you led work at all? Dl droidlight and test it.

Well, mine does not work. at least I think it does not. I have used multiple camera apps and flashlight apps to no avail.


Any one know of a setting that controls it, or is mine just dead?

I know you are trying to help, but I thought my initall post would have made it clear.

got the replacement, flash works, camera is good. the only issue is you can tell it is not a new phone only from a battery pull, the lable on the inside has some cuts where I guess they had to go in to do their work, other then that it is now working like a dream.

Just have to go in and reinstall everything. Luckily I did a backup, but market does not like it when you install just from an APK file for update purposes.

Or is there an app for that?

I don't think I zoomed at all. This is what it turns out like...

that is a problem in and of itself - I cannot get good pics at 6MP - only at 8. This was both before and after the .893 updates.

The camera seems to work better at 8MP, and I have no idea why (unless it is trying to downscale the pictures using software only, and the camera is physically preset to take pics at 8MP only (which would be more than just a little odd.)

Alright well next time I'm out at night I'll try it at 8MP and hopefully it'll work. What is this .893 update? I have a major issue with losing network connection, would this update help? Except I checked for an update and it says my phone is up to date. I think I'm gonig to exchange it for another one...Maybe this one is just a dud :(

the .893 has been shown to help the majority of users applying it with connection drop rates, but a small minority are complaining that it has either not affected them or made things worse. The reason you don't see it when checking for updates is that it is a leaked official beta update, not hte final update that Motorola will push out to us later on.

Try the 8MP pics first. Seriously.

Um, yes I was. I guess the beer bottles gave that one away! Hey, it was the night our team won the World Series! That's a good reason in my book to celebrate! :)

Lol - I'll ignore the WS comment (I live just South of Atlanta, if that is any indication). Seriously, though, what I was alluding to was the fact that bars are smoky even if you cannot see the haziness with your naked eye....flashes will.

Oh...I thought you were referring to the fact that it may have been operator error due to tipsyness! Haha, got it! I'll try the 8MP and see if that works. Wait a second, you can't smoke indoors in Illinois so it wouldn't have been smoke. It could've been operator error! Just kidding, I think I'm pretty tech saavy...Thanks for the pointers
