Hey there! I've been looking but with no success so far. Does anyone know if there is an app for the Eve to turn the camera's led flash into a torch? I've found a few that use the LCD light, but that's not intense enough... And all the apps I found so far that use the led flash light, do not work on the Eve.

Looking at Torch.apk you find this, which I think is what the app uses to control the flash led:
Code:
public class FlashDevice
{
public static final int DEATH_RAY = 3;
private static final String DEVICE = "/sys/devices/platform/flashlight.0/leds/flashlight/brightness";
private static final String DEVICE_SHOLES = "/sys/class/leds/spotlight/brightness";
The problem is that ZTE Skate doesn't have these files: /sys/devices/platform/flashlight.0/leds/flashlight/brightness nor /sys/class/leds/spotlight/brightness
I don't know if those files are generated at boot, when using camera but the thing is that with any ROM available for this device those files don't exist. Or a workaround to use led as flashlight.
When I open or close an app that uses the camera I hear an actual sound from INSIDE the phone (maybe the lens opening and closing?). I've never heard this before on any camera phone, are other people also experiencing it?

So my question is, is there an app that will turn on the camera's flash and use that for the video camera? Im trying to find something in the market.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use the camera in an Android app using the 1.5 API. I want the camera to flash for every picture. However, when I looked at the API for camera.parameters, the setFlashMode() method is only supported for 2.0 and higher. Yet my Cliq XT, which runs 1.5, has a flash that I can set in the menu - I take this to mean there is a way to do this for the 1.5 API, though I was unable to find it.Does anyone know how to set the flash mode using the 1.5 API?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy app is using the camera on the phone. For phones w/ 2.0+ I have been able to activate the Flash. When I test on a phone with 1.5 OS on it the app crashes. I get: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException and the Cause is java.lang.VerifyError: fishers.Nav.TakePicture$1
I assume because you have to access the flash differently in apps below 2.0? Can anyone give me some advice or links to examples showing how I could make it work over the whole range of Operating System version or is that just not at all do-able?
For some reason now when I launch shopsavvy the flash on my Behold2 keeps going off every 5 seconds and I am unable to scan the barcode.
View 1 Replies View RelatedBeing relatively new to my Droid, I'm still finding fun stuff. Recently, I picked up the shell/holster combo and really like it. However, while I am at work, I have my phone on vibrate (thanks Timeriffic) and can't tell who is texting/emailing me like I used to (different colors for the LED, thanks Handcent). What I was wondering is: is it possible to write an app that uses the camera flash like a vibrate function.
The ability to customize the number of flashes and duration would be cool, as would the ability to have it only flash when the phone is on vibrate or silent. Preferably, without having to root the phone. If its not possible due to hardware or software lockouts oh well.
Anyone found a good torch (flashlight) app for the Desire yet
there's a few in the market but most seem to work on the Droid or Milestone
I read recently on this forum about an official torch/flashlight app and I'm trying to find that thread or infact info on that app but I cant.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there a particular flag that we can use to prevent apps showing up in marketplace which require the phone to have a Camera Flash /LED. typical apps are ones which make the phone act like a torchlight in dark , i have seen a tag which prevents apps requiring autofocus in a camera from appearing in the marketplace. Just looking to find out if there is something similar for camera flash.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSo how do you turn on the camera's "flash" LED in Android? (like flashlight apps) - and is it possible to vary the brightness?
search results for "android flash" too polluted by adobe flash..
Is there an app of flashlight that actually uses the photolight on the x10 rather than just turning the screen white?

Same thing happened two months ago and I ended up sending it back to HTC for repairs and all they did was some software changes but I'm not sure what.I tried resetting the phone with the RUU and their still not working.
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy Flash on the camera has stopped working all of a sudden. I checked the camcorder and the light (flash on) didn't work. I tapped the back of the phone near the flash. It worked. I went back to camera and turned on flash, it worked. So by tapping something I jigged something around in there and the flash was working.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe camera flash on the Incredible is killing me, it basically blurs out everything in the picture, especially a face! Anything white in the picture will have not detail or definition when you use the flash to take a picture.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI tried to start the camera flash for an app I'm doing but I don't understand why it isn't working.
here is the code:
Code:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.hardware.Camera;
import android.hardware.Camera.Parameters;
[Code].....
For information I'm using a LG Optimus 3D for the test of this app.
Will the android version 2.1 update provide the X10 a proper flash LED when taking photo's? Currently, it's somewhat cumbersome to go all the way into settings to turn on the LED light (that stays on until you turn it off) just to take a well lit photo. So I'm just wondering will the LED flash on the new OS update provide the automatic LED flash?

View 3 Replies View RelatedBought a HTC Desire and just cannot get its camera flash working. Obviously having hard time with people at the shop ("have you tried taking these pictures at night, maybe it understands that it is still daytime even if you tried it in bathroom"). My dumb brain would suggest that manual - flash always on (unless that 5% battery limit is not hit), automatic - depends on sensor income, off - no flash. Really hard to search for stuff like that in forums as usually "flash not working" refers to Adobe Flash.
