HTC Incredible :: Using LEDs As Flashlight
Jun 30, 2010
Has anyone had any issues leaving the LEDs on (using Lampu) as far as heat from the phone? I can assume there was a reason that HTC didnt allow the LEDs to be on for video recording. Not sure if its just current draw or possible heat/damage to the driver circuit for the LEDs.

Every now and then when I press the power button to put my Incredible to standby and/or after the 1 minute timeout. The screen turns off as usual but sometimes the LEDs for the buttons stay lit. Sometimes if left alone long enough they will turn off on their own, but most of the time they stay on till I bring the phone out of standby and then put it back into standby. Is anyone else getting this? Is there a way to fix it?

Or did it take anyone else awhile to realize the Droid eye on the startup animation was the camera lens and leds? Is that animation exclusive to incredible?

Can anyone recommend a good flashlight app that uses the camera flash LEDs that works with the Incredible?I miss that functionality. Had it with my Nokia 5800.I've searched here without much success. Most of the apps I've seen discussed are for other Android phone models.

sorry if someone answered this but I couldn't find it, is there an app for using the flash as a flashlight without going into the camera app? I would prefer a toggle switch like the one made by curve fish, Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk

I know this has probably been gone over before, but I'm still looking for an LED Flashlight for the HTC Incredible. Any word on if there is one or if there is one in the works? I'd prefer to not root my phone.

I wanted to record a 720p video at night too, but the flash doesn't work while I'm taking a video.
Is there any apps that can take a video with flashlight?
I am rooted, so it will be okay if the apps requires root.

At the moment the LEDs that light up the keyboard of the G1 (HTC Dream) are very quick to turn off, I time it at six seconds. This is a pain when using the phone in the dark as you must press a button in order to turn the lights back on if you look away even for a very short time. Since my G1 is rooted I have access to the system files and when using adb to open a shell (adb shell) to the USB connected phone I can set the brightness file to a positive value using echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness. This keeps the keyboard on, until the screen is set to turn off (two minutes on my phone). When I attempt the same using a Terminal Emulator or writing a simple app which should execute the same it does nothing despite both having root access. Why is this?

I am the developer of a heavily used application (over 110.000 active installs) and got one problem with the Android platform. One of the features in my application uses the normal way of the Android SDK to display a LED notification with a selectable color. The color can be set by ledARGB flag in http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Notification.html. This had been working with the emulator, the HTC G1 and the HTC Magic (myTouch) but now users starting to report that the HTC Hero does not show up different colors. (although the charging LED for the HTC Hero is orange and the normal notification color is green). The same thing occurs for setting a vibrate pattern. (flag -> vibrate in http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Notification.html) This does not work on the HTC Hero US. (it does work on the EU/GSM version of the Hero).....

So I know Gmail always comes up as a green LED on my Droid, and that's fine. Also, I use Handcent SMS, and I can change the color of notification on that, so I have it set to pink (seemed like fun at the time.) I'd love an app that would let me choose the colors of other notification LEDs. Anyone know of one like that? I tried using the Market to search for notification and LED, but didn't find anything.

I'm still pretty new to using Android, but I decided that my first application would be a simple flashlight app for my new Incredible. Unfortunately, it seems to be more difficult than I had originally thought.
It seems that there's no way to access the LEDs through the SDK, at least not without a bunch of weird hacks to make the phone pretend that it's taking a picture. Even then, I can only get the LEDs to turn on. They only turn off if the phone is put on hold, and doing so breaks all camera-related apps until the phone is rebooted.
So, I was wondering if accessing the LEDs through the NDK was possible, or if there was any other camera-related APIs that would seem to do what I want.
I've looked at other code for other flashlights, so it looks like it's a hardware-based problem. I figured I'd give up because it doesn't appear to be possible, but I thought I should ask here first on the off-chance somebody knows something that I don't.

Is there any program or other way do turn off the screen LEDs for example when docked at night? LEDs Hack from the market has an option for Hero with Froyo. I emailed the developer, but didnt know if anyone here had any solutions. I'm running KF v35-1 btw. I was looking at replacing my clock on my bedside table with a dock that would hold the phone upright so I could see the time. I can keep the display on, but wanted the bright lights on the front off. With the program below, I can turn off all LEDs except the white ones behind the home, menu, back and search keys. I tried all the different phones. One of the first times I tried it, the LEDs all went out and would not come back on. Did a reboot and dalvk wipe which restored the LEDs. I went back through all the devices again and could not repeat the result of getting all lights out. The Hero version can stop all LEDs except the leds i mentioned.

I've seen it discussed in a thread somewhere but can't find it. Is anyone working on an app to use the menu buttons as an LED notification? The moment for me would be close to perfect if there was some way to have lights for notification. If I were a programmer I would be working my buns off to write this app.

When using Google Sky it is possible to set the app to night mode which is nice, but as soon as you press the menu button (e.g. to search) the bright white LEDs come on and ruin your night vision. So is it possible to disable the front LEDs on the phone? Do they serve any purpose anyway?

What's the status on this issue? Many of the Samsung Galaxy S phones come with a beautiful array of soft keys with LEDs that are dieing to be used as notification lights as well. For example, the T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant has 4 soft keys (menu, home, back, search). I would like to be able to set the menu key to light up at an interval of 3 seconds within the first hour of receiving a text message and light up at an interval of 5 seconds or more after the first hour of receiving a text message. Has Samsung released the necessary API? Or does Google have control over this?

I am really digging it. I turned it on last night and expected it to just make the screen brighter so I could see my door lock and my keys. I was pleasantly surprised to find an actual flashlight on my phone. I was very surprised and impressed both.

Where can I find that exact flashlight app that is in Velocity 0.3? When I look in the market, there are TONS of them and most of them only make the touch screen turn bright.P.S. I did have Velocity 0.3, but went back to just a stock rom with Universal Androot. Google maps, which I actually use a lot, was being very slow and buggy for me.
