Guest Paul [MVP] Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 Someone actually mailed me today to ask how to enable 'Torch Mode' on the SPV... so I showed em. Announcing my first ever C++ app... Torch for Microsoft SmartPhone Just copy it directly to your start menu, or copy it to another location (e.g. SD) and create a shortcut. Enjoy! ;) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul i have a problem with your first app. In the true style of 'Hello World' applications, it is broken. problem1 : it does not say hello world anywhere! problem2 : it performs a semi useful service :shock: But the icon is great!

Guest Paul [MVP] Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 Hehehe, I could add 'Hello World', or I could add 'Instructions: Point phone at object to be illuminated'. ;) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest muude Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 How about an app that overheats the battery, thus making it a small heater for when your hands are feeling cold... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lsuhe Posted January 25, 2003 Report Share Posted January 25, 2003 Does this 'app' only work on unlocked SPV? and what exactly does it do as I've tried running it from AE and it doesn't work. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 Does this 'app' only work on unlocked SPV? and what exactly does it do as I've tried running it from AE and it doesn't work. Chris It should only work on an unlocked phone and all it does is turn on the backlight for the normal time :lol: shame it does not keep it on until you press off :wink: "Tourch mode" is a very old and longstanding joke but it really does have it's uses ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Deathrow Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 After a while the whole screen turns off. not only backlight. The program is running at the time. plz help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 After a while the whole screen turns off. not only backlight. The program is running at the time. plz help. Thats because you have the screen saver turned to off in power management, that's why the screen goes blank :lol: Like I said in the last post, this program was only created for a joke ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 Altho I do plan to add the useful 'backlight stay on feature', if only I can work out how to do it! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 What ??? tourch V2? How can you beat the origional? :wink: But seriously that is what we need, then who would care about the Orange update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paul [MVP] Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 Doh! A response from Neil Enns [MS] regarding backlight persistence: 'There isn't a good way to do this with Smartphone 2002, unfortunately. We're looking at ways to make this better in future releases.' No Torch V2 ;) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MBoden Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 Well he does write that there isn't a good way to do it, but wont you settle for a bad way ? ;-) there MUST be a way !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
