Hi folks. I'm new here. I tried to search to see if this issue had been posted before, but my computer locked up. Grrr....I guess that's another issue I need to deal with.

In any event, has anyone had trouble with their Fascinate losing complete power when the flash is enabled when using the camera? I attempted on three different instances last night to use my camera with the flash enabled. Each time I clicked to take the picture, the flash flashed and the phone went black. I couldn't get the phone to power back on without removing the battery and completely rebooting it. Once it was powerd back on, I checked my picture files and the picture was not captured. When the flash flashed, it was almost as if it was taking a long time to take the picture (as if the shutter speed was really slow like it was trying to gather additional light), but then I realized after about 30 seconds that the phone had actually shut down....not powered down like I had shut it off, but actually an instant complete loss of power.

Sorry if this topic has been covered before. Thanks, in advance, for your help.
