Camera light stopped working

---

Hi everyone,

I got my Samsung Galaxy S2 on Thursday and yesterday(Monday) I noticed the camera light stopped working and I don't know why? Does anyone have any troubleshooting methods for a similar issue? I know it worked before, I had extended controls with the flashlight toggle and worked fine now I'm not sure if that's what messed it up. Even if I try to take a picture the light won't flash. I'm not rooted and have done multiple master resets to try and fix the issue. I really don't want to do a warranty exchange.

Also I noticed that when I plug my phone to Samsung kies it states that my firmware isn't upgradable??

Thanks I'm advance for any guidance.

If you've done a master reset a few times and its still not working if you take a picture or use a flashlight app then I would mark this one off as a hardware issue and exchange it.

From what I heard Kies isn't setup for our phone yet so that's why your getting the issue your getting with kies.

this used to happen when my battery was low on g2x, i let it charge and flash is good i think power saving settings override it. flash uses some power believe it or not... u werent at low battery right? only other thing i can say is if after a master reset it does not work take it back.. do me a favor try tiny flashlight + led its a flashlight app in market and works with most phones i also think it works at low power like below 30 percent see if it works, but first try charging your battery then report back
