Guest AceGreg Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Has anybody found an LED Light / Flashlight App that works yet or created one? I have tried over 20 Apps from the store and none have activated the LED light on the back of the phone. I have been searching for hours... Please help!

Guest rymate1234 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Its a hardware issue - the LED on the phone is apparently only useful as camera flash. It cannot be used as a flashlight. Seriously though, torches are cheap :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AceGreg Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Hey. I tried that torch app but no luck. Am I asking the impossible? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BLu3HaZe Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Yes, you are. Hardware limitations. Though I can't figure why they can't keep a little LED constantly powered. Then again, it doesn't seem to have flash power levels like other phones, does it Daz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dazzozo Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Hey. I tried that torch app but no luck. Am I asking the impossible? LOL That's the point of the app. Actually read the thread it's in. Yes, you are. Hardware limitations. Though I can't figure why they can't keep a little LED constantly powered. Then again, it doesn't seem to have flash power levels like other phones, does it Daz? I don't think it's a power issue, the camera just doesn't declare the torch mode for the flash. I have no idea why because it seems it would be capable of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BLu3HaZe Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Well I meant the flasher doesn't seem to change the power level whatever the ambient lighting is, and if the flasher would be in ON mode at full power like that, it'd drain the battery way too fast and probably overheat the cam module too. That's the only plausible explanation as I see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Titas Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) This is Amorphas's FlashLED - it repeatedly flashes the led ie., it cannot stay on continuously but it does work on my FnC https://play.google....youare.FlashLED Edited June 22, 2012 by Titas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dazzozo Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 That's identical to C3C0's app I translated. It proves the same and in that thread it was also stated that it doesn't work on ICS. Probably because of the HAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
