[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] DeepThought:
Are you using some additional software for idling to standby or the standard windows mobile power setting? What device and what ROM are you using?

I can't imagine why this shouldn't work for you. hTorch makes a special system call once every 10 seconds which resets the "SystemIdleTime"-Counter. This completely prevents idling into standby and I can't think of a reason why it shouldn't work for you. Unless you have configured to idle into standby in less than 10 seconds (which is not possible via the System/Setings/Power ControlPanelApplet but via registry).

Never heard any other bug report that this doesn't work so far either. :confused:

hTorch uses the TorchButtonLibrary to control the LED and and the Lib itself uses the CameraDLL to get access to the LED functions. This unfortunately means, that you can't use hTorch and the camera software at the same time. If you do you will receive an error and hTorch crashes but leaves a background process running (which is doing the idle prevention task). When I beta-tested hTorch 3.0 I noticed this behavior and that this could lead to a problem so I've programmed a special error detection routine which is detecting if hTorch has been closed "safely" and if not killing the background task to ensure normal operation again. That's the popup you received. In all tests I did, this restored normal operation of the device (including the camera software and further use of hTorch as well).

Would it be possible to add a feature with using the g-sensor to activate the LED light?

I'd like to be able to shake my phone to get some light.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mike^d:
I have the fuze and NATFs rom v2.3, I only use the adv config that came with the rom and diamond tweak... there may be a setting in there that could cause this behavior. I am assuming the camera issue is not related, however, the popup that said htorch was closed improperly was incorrect as I had not used htorch prior to the camera glitching out on me.

here is a layout of what i am experiencing...

turn on htorch- functions properly

close program

turn on camera in burst or sports mode.. freezes

exit out of camera

reopen htorch.. this time "error.. an unexpected error has occured...."-closed error report

open camera.. started up fine- closed.

reopen htorch... the popup for do not kill htorch using some taskmanage...

then it recovers

hopefully that explains a little better... i dont think its htorch malfunctioning though???
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] DeepThought:
Alright, now I can imagine, what's causing the problem. When the camera freezes (which I can't reproduce on my Touch Pro neither in sports nor in burst mode) it probably leaves some lock on the camera-dll files. Which than prevents hTorch from functioning.

So the malfunctioning camera software is causing hTorch to malfunction not the other way round. Sorry.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] DeepThought:
To be honest although this would be a nice feature to play with I don't want to blow up the program unnecessary and I don't think it would be of much use for most of the users.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] xhypnotik:
Wow, great program. I never knew this phone was this bright. It would be cool if it was with the other programs instead in the "accessories" folder.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] emesbe:
Would it be safe to assume that you don't know you can move it or copy it to whatever folder you want? Or put it on your start menu? Or map it to a button?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] xhypnotik:
You can't expect much out of a newb. How do you map it to a button? Like to Ptt button.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] emesbe:
First suggestion. Do what I did when I was a newb here about a year ago -- read everything first.

Second suggestion -- use the search function. It really does work.

Anyway, go to this thread for instructions on remapping the PTT button http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=445498&highlight=ptt+button+remapped I have mine set for MSVC on short push and hTorch on long push.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] sue:
Thats very handy indeed :-) I don't suppose you can fix the low volume issue with the phone ringtones can you?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] emesbe:
I can't, but somebody else already did. Do a search for audiopara3.csv.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] angelbelow:
this sounds like a wonderful app but im having some serious trouble getting it right. this is the first time ive tried anything like this so it has been frustrating..

im not sure how to install .NET Compact Framework 3.5 onto the phone. i tried downloading it onto the phone and opening it but it says "there is no application associated with "netcfsetupv35. run the app first, then open this file from within the application." but i honestly have no idea what that means.

So far ive installed the hTorch and im only missing the net 3.5. i also install total commander if that helps. any feedback would be appreciated.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] tb5...:
make sure its the mobile version of net framework first and foremost...

get it here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e3821449-3c6b-42f1-9fd9-0041345b3385

then you save it to your computer...

connect your device (USB) and through the windows mobile device center (on the cd you got in the box) you will see the "connect" message

once its connected double click the framework 3.5 install file on your computer... and follow instructions on screen.

after its successful install... htctorch should work.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] angelbelow:
thanks, it worked great!

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Dr.Sid:
Hi there .. I have an awful question. I mean .. you're app is great. It's free. It works. It has nice, simple and working controls (very rare these days). You also hold great support. How can I want anything more ?

But my ungrateful self wants more. I want it fast. This app takes 5 seconds to launch on my Xperia. I usually need the light for few seconds .. and having to wat 5 seconds for the app the run is just crazy.

So .. is there any chance to somehow improve the startup time ? If not, is there alternative to this application ?

Sorry for bothering :D

Edit: ok .. after even more searching, I found the original TorchButton, which works kind of better for me. I appreciate your effort though ! No reply needed.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] snark_be:
I'll reply anyway ;-) . The delay in starting hTorch is caused by the initialization of the .NET framework needed to run the app. There's nothing you can do to remove it, short of rewriting the app without .NET.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] NLS:
I had the exact same comment.

I'll probably revert to the original program although I like this, just because you click the icon and in less than a second you have light.

It will remain installed, but not for everyday casual use.

Since it is not your fault, keep up the good work anyway.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] DeepThought:
I'm finally back from vacation and I hope to find some time for building v3.3 soon.

snark_be explained the problem perfectly. Unfortunately I just don't have the skills to build hTorch in C# or C++ so I can't provide a solution for this. But there is one more thing worth to mention: When you use some ROM which the latest .NET Framework included this speeds up the framework pretty much. From my experiences it reduces the loading-time from about 5 to about 2 seconds. Still not perfect but a huge difference.

HTH
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mrrogers1:
hTorch is still free, who FREAKN CARES if it isn't instantly on... come on guys. :rolleyes: Great app developed by one of our own seems pretty close to perfect if you ask me.

Thanks for the sweet little app!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] DeepThought:
Thank you mate! ;)

And BTW: Thanks for the two donations I received over the past two weeks, I really appreciate it! I will add a list of donates to the fist post.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] RezzZ:
Hi there, love your program but got one problem. I installed htorch on my sd. Sometimes I flash my firmware and after that the program doesn't work any more and needs to be installed again. Is there a way to make the torch work without reinstalling it when I want to try a different ROM?

thanx again for this great torch!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] DeepThought:
Hi!

hTorch is creating some registry-entrys in HKLM\Software\hTorch on which it depends. But it should suffice if you export the registry key and import it on the new ROM.

HTH

DeepThought
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] RezzZ:
ahh great to know. Perhaps a future build can make these registry keys if they aren't there?

thanx again for this tool! makes it finding my bed when I turn of the lights a lot easier ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] owilsky:
BTW: C# wouldn't help. Still relies on the .NET Framework. C or C++ indeed would help :D But I prefer C# over C/C++
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] DeepThought:
I will look into this when I create the next version.

That was exactly my need as well when I've build the initial version... :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] DeepThought:
Ups :D

I knew that C# also relies on .NET but I didn't know that it also needs to "load up the whole framework" like VB.NET apps. Today I've learned something... ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] rjmjr69:
Hope your vacation was a good one. Keep up the great work the delay does suck but oh well its still a great app and I use it almost daily.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mrrogers1:
This a little OT but why are you installing any programs to your SD? It was an issue of device "storage" space on the 6700's but we have GOBS of storage for programs on our TP's.

SD drive installs and the issues caused by them are a thing of the PPC past in our cases.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] TheWebMachine:
I agree. The delay (what little delay there is) is such a NON-ISSUE, all things considered. Congrats to all the freeware developers for their hard work...and SHAME on those of you who'd dare shun or scold that hard work!

I could see if the delay was something substantial that prevented reasonable use of the app...but I've seen no such issue. Be grateful that he bothered to write us such a nice app at all! :mad:

question regarding the application

hi my HTC Touch Pro using ROM version 1.90.861.8 WWE, is this application will work whit this ROM version?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] DeepThought:
The app should work on any ROM, the only requirement is the latest .NET Compact Framework. So if your ROM does not include .NET v3.5 you have to install it first (see first post).

HTH,

DeepThought
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] RezzZ:
missed your question before. Why? because I often upgrade or test a different ROM. I install all apps on my SD so I don't need to reinstall them over and over again ;). Allmost every app I use work without reïnstalling :). So I'm up and running after a restore of my contacts/sms and startmenu files.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] excelex:

thanks for the hard work, god knows i dont have the first clue in how to produce programs like this.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] cenkaetaya:
is it really impossible to burn it out?

i was using the light the other day and i noticed after about 10-15 mins it hot VERY HOT

to the point where i was worried about both the LED and the Phone (something else could be overheated by it)

has anyone else noticed this?

LED flashlights i have do not get hott, but this one does.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] NLS:
you are not supposed to keep it on so long!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] DeepThought:
No, it is NOT! LEDs have a very long lifetime and in when you use the LED in standard mode it's quite unlikely that it will burn out but it's not impossible!

I suppose you used the bright mode? I tested using the LED in standard mode for 30mins without any problem and without the device getting hot. And I tested the bright mode for about 15mins with the device getting very hot. The bright mode is not supposed for a period that long, I only tested it to make sure it's save. Please be careful!

Problem installing hTorch

i have currently installed the netcompactframework but now i have tried to download the hTorch files and in comes in a zip. i have downloaded the zip and extracted it onto my HTC FUZE and when i click setup it goes into opera mobile and nothing happens. please post directions on how to correctly download this hTorch thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] DeepThought:
When you download hTorch from the original source the file extension is .cab (not .zip). And you have to copy the CAB-File onto your mobile device and "execute" it there to install hTorch.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] rs.led:
hTorch is congenital for the HTC Raphael (aka HTC Touch Pro) and has alone been activated on this device. It apparently works on all added accessories with a build-in LED as able-bodied but back I can't acquaint if those accessories are calefaction sinked amuse be actual careful!

i have a nother idee for htorch :)

can you build a function, that the LED flashes if a call is incomming/for a new sms :)

or like the older phones... that the LED is flashing on a active call. or by lower battery :) this would be nice :)

(for example, push and hold the PTT Button to make the light turn on but you must hold the button in. As soon as you release, the LED would go off )

I got a guy at work into this site and flashing his phone... he was using the flashlight.exe which i am using on my mogul....

well he found this htorch in one of the roms.. now he flashed to different things but installed the 3.2 and loves it....

so he just told me about it and I just installed it on my mogul... WORKS FRICKEN GREAT!!!! however my screen is different than his..

I am running SPB Mobile Shell 3 but none the less....

If I go to programs I have accessories... and in there is the htorch

launch it and I only get 1 light bulb... no power button or others like he does..

is that because my flash may not support different levels?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
The mogul (Titan) has a 240x320 (QVGA) screen instead of 480x640 (VGA). hTorch was made specifically for VGA, which is why you only see the top left of what your colleague sees.

The developer must specifically add support for this.

It's pretty nice that it actually works on your phone, though. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Pierce:

Hi

Thanks Work well on my Xperia

however i know bright light button is not working because Xperia will get hot

Actually I am a little afraid to keep flash light On for a while.

therefor I switch it off for a few seconds then turn On again.

Well, When I turn it off, Everywhere goes Dark.

I suggest add a new Option to change Background color to White.

This way our cellphone produce more Light

Hi,

Excellent application, I'm a huge fan of it !!

One question tho: I also use the app to turn of the screen quite a lot (for example when it's connected with my pc for a prolonged time as a mass storage device). But when the app is launched, it automatically enables the LED, even when I don't need it. Is there a way to configure the app so it starts up without activating the LED ?
