i don't recommend applications like this (rememper x1 xperia) there were hardware problems when using flashlite applications some parts melt down inside the phone and damaged the speaker as well as the flash because these applications operates the flashlite with a higher power than what is recommended to be used so it genarates allot of heat and melt some fine parts (i dont know if this program do this but it is just an advice from old experience with these applications ) note this problems doesnot appear from the first time it apeear after some time of using this applications
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NLS:
If you read the thread, you'll see these all are well known facts.

Thanks for reminding us.

I guess "you" not recommending applications like this, is backed up by some professional expertise or something like that (because certainly is not backed up by the credibility of a user with few posts in about 14 months of presence in the forum). In that case please add those credits (maybe you are a professional in the field of electronics or something), so that a phrase like "*I* (?) don't recommend applications like this" is evaluated better and doesn't just sound like bashing a fellow member's work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hoss_n2:
ok i will take care of these things in the future(and iam an expert in this field i am an engineer in the field of mechatronics ) and iam making this post due to my experience with similar cases with mobile phones and other devices not to tell any body that his work is haremful if you read my post you will see that i wrote that (i don't know if this programm do this or not as i havenot tasted it )
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
Normal mode shouldn't be a problem, as that's a mode that can be enabled in the camera app too for longer periods. You're right on the bright mode. The leds become quite hot and could cause damage. That's why I can't stress enough not to use bright mode for longer periods. The default timeout in TorchButton for bright mode is 10 seconds (as opposed to 60 seconds for normal mode). Also, when you enable bright mode for the very first time, you get a big warning box. I think, as developer, I did my best to warn people. :)

Anyway thanks for reminding us. I was aware of the problems on other devices.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hoss_n2:
you must be thanked for this
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Beards:
Just to add a little extra to this:-

At Christmas I was given a very small ultra-portable camcorder (Toshiba Camileo S20).

Part of it's use is you can activate the Flash for video.

You can either have the Flash operate in Bright mode or in Low Power Dim mode.

You are not governed by any time limits, you can shoot video as long as you wish.

I did a few 10 minute videos under low light using the Flash in both Bright and Dim modes, little heat was generated.

I know the HD2 is not built the same as the Toshiba Camileo S20 (the Tosh is actually smaller) but if the S20 can do it safely I'm sure I trust this small application with my HD2. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
Umm your camcorder was probably designed to allow the bright led for sustained periods (i.e., the leds were heatsinked or kept away from other 'wires'). The HD2 has not been specifically designed for this. The leds may not be heatsinked enough for longer periods (some report the led area can burn their finger after only 10 seconds). Also it may be possible the leds are very close to some fragile equipment or wiring. If it damages another component, who knows what might happen.

This is the reason of the warning. That's why it's all on your own risk (as always). :)

beautiful app works like a charm on TP
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mamv:
I was looking at the specs of some super brigth leds I used in my final university project 6 years ago, and they report a maximum operating temperature of 100ºC, so technically speaking I really don't think we would do any harm to the led (except less life lifetime).

But hoss_n2 has a really good point regarding the components that might be near the led.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] aszu:
There is in fact easy way to enable 'dim' mode, just change the following settings:

blinkTimeOnInMs to 1

blinkTimeOffInMs to 10

This will make blink mode significantly dimer than regular mode, without any visible flickering.

However, there seems to be a little problem with this - light flashes randomly in this mode (every 1-2 seconds, sometimes longer), it seems to be some problem with timing/synchronization in the software? Is it possible to fix it? Or is it hardware limitation?

I read a few pages and searched but did not find anything. I want to modify the cab to my folder structure. I see there are 2 sets of shortcut links. I modified everything and have my folder in Applications with it's icon, and all the shortcuts in the folder. The problem was I also had 4 shortcuts in the Start Menu Programs. So I deleted the duplicate links and I now have everything ok but I lost the nice torch Icons. Now they look more a plain default type.

Can you advise?

EDIT: Ok not knowing what was new or old I was confused. The icons I have now are like the ones in the picture on the first post. So I assume these are the new ones. I saw some different ones which resembled a torch and those are the ones I lost. So I guess everything is OK then.

Great app, Thanks

I need help for Xperia2- TorchButton-v2.3 doesn.t work

Hi it is so useful application, and i use it on my old Xperia1 without any poroblem, but when I install on my Xperia2 somthing is wrong , it write me mistake:

" Couldn't detect a supported device, exiting..."
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Sullio:
Big trouble with this

Hi there,

I just installed the app on a Orange (French) HD2, and since i have no flash on Photo Mode : button is non effective.

I'm so disappointed, is there any way to TOTALLY remove torchbutton ? I uninstalled it but photo flash is still off.

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
The no flash on photo mode is totally unrelated to TorchButton. Your battery probably got below 30% or 25%. When your battery gets like this, the camera application disables the flashlight buttin in 'photo mode'.

In fact, you can use TorchButton to your advantage. Turn flash on with TorchButton and make a picture with flashlight anyway, even when the camera app won't let you then. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Sullio:
Thanks Dude, that was the problem. There is NO problem with Torchbutton, the battery level was the bad guy ^^

In fact i was 19%, and i thought "it's the problem, so i plug in". And it wasn't enough, since i'm 20% it works again.

App adopted :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
Sorry, the xperia 2 is not supported. Actually the xperia 1 wasn't supported either. That it worked was just coincidence ;)

Glad to hear. :)

Great little app. Thank you very much op.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tibursio:
Hey NetRipper, you probably didn't see HTCs own Flashlight app which supposedly will come bundled with the T-Mobile version of the HD2.

The topic with the cab is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5574203

I compared both apps and noticed that the brightness levels differ. Your TorchBright-app is brighter than the max. setting on the HTCs own app. I guess that's because you RE'ed the camera which uses 2 settings. You probably can figure it out now how to adjust the settings individually by RE'ing HTC Flashlight. Or atleast have 5 Settings to choose from.

I just wanted to point you to that app, maybe you want to upgrade yours with more settings maybe not. I like yours better as it's more efficient (it's like a switch).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I indeed didn't see it. Might reverse engineer it for fun's sake.. not sure if I'll put it in TorchButton. Maybe allow tweaking brightness of normal vs bright via registry or so ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] riotman:
Hey, is it possible to make this great app work with the Acer NeoTouch as well ? It is kinda annoying having to use the video mode, in order to get some light in the dark...

Thanks in advance

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] DavidMc0:
Hi, this app is great - using it on my HD2 and it's fantastic.

I know this'll sound a bit daft, but would it be possible to add a controllable strobe mode?

It would be great to have a wild rave party in the dark with your phone (admit it... you know you want to!).

Just a bit of fun - not sure how hard it'd be to implement. Also, boffins could use it for measuring speed or moving / spinning objects somehow.

Thanks for the great app!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
You can change the settings of "blink mode" in the registry. If you make them like 10ms on / 5ms off, you probably get something alike strobe mode :) Check the readme attached to the first post for registry locations.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
Please search the thread before posting a question..

This is unrelated to TorchButton. The camera app flash does not work when your battery is below 30% or so. Recharge your battery and flash will work like it always did.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pabloh999:
Great little app, thanks very much.

By the way what damage(if any) would leaving the 'torchbright' on do?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
It is possible that it would burn the leds out, or that the heat that is generated causes damage to hardware placed nearby internally. It has been reported for other devices. Not yet for Leo, but I wouldnt take the chance :)

Great app, but problems :(

Great app only it has some problems for me. When I use the app my sense is all F*ed up showing all kind of blue stripes and a kind of blue lens flare in the background. I had this problem before and I had to hard reset my Phone, not looking forward to doing this again. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? I'm using the 1.66 stock NL rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] a10018sin:
THX !! for share
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
Hmm, I've had that too. I think it's unrelated to TorchButton though. It sometimes happens when you come out of standby. It was pretty quickly resolved for me after just going to standby and out of standby a few times. I seemed to get this after I upgraded to (H)SPL2.08 and a different ROM (testing ROMeOS now).

Try removing the battery for like 10 seconds and starting it up again. If it's not resolved then, I don't know. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] groentenman:
Hmm I thinked I judged your app to soon Netripper. I just hard reset my phone and I still have these blue stripes :mad: with a clean phone. I'm giving HTC a call tomorrow and hope they can fix this under warrenty.

SOS signal

Hi,

I have installed TorchButon to my new HD2 today. I know that SOS signal is formed by ...|---|... beeps, flashes,...

Unfortunately, I observed wrong flashing in the form ..|---|.. = like IOI, instead of SOS.:(:confused:

Is the problem in my device or in the software?

Thanks in advance for some answers.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] cMMY69:
Hi, Installed Torchbutton and it does the job thanks. I've got Torch as a Quick Link in Sense on my stock 1.66 ROM. It did notice however that it freezes the Weather and other animated wallpapers. I have to go to the start screen and back to get it to move again. It's only a little thing and it doesn't freeze the actual phone but I didn't notice anything mentioning this behavour when I read the thread earlier. Thanks again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
Hi,

I did notice that the first flash is sometimes omitted, but after that it should be fine. So in my experience, after device reboot, you get like: .. --- ... ... --- ... ... --- ... (only the first dot is missing). It's weird if you see it happen structurally.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Rob277:
Is there a way to adapt the sos part into another app...

So we can type what we want in and it would flash accordingly?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] epdm2be:
I'm also interested in this.

In fact is there a website where I can find which devices all have this app working. I know there's an Omnia (1) version and this also works on SE X1. And as you yourself mentions HD2. So basicly we have.

unmodified? version:

HTC Touch Pro

HTC HD2

SE X1

Modified version:

Omnia i900

SO does is also work on the Omnia2 I8000? And indeed this Acer Neotouch. Because I'm in doubt of getting a HD2 myself because of Vito Audio Notes touch not working.

THanks in advance,

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
I should've kept a list of all supported devices yea ;-)

I think this is the list so far:

- HTC Touch Pro (Raphael)

- HTC HD2 (Leo)

- Samsung Omnia i9x0 series

- Sony Ericsson Xperia X1

The Omnia2 is not supported. I'm still looking into Acer NeoTouch.

TorchSettings...

The default FlashlightTimeout was unusable to me so I made a simple little app that loops all keys in HKLM\Software\TorchButton (except Default) and displays a NumericUpDown for all dword values and a TextBox for all string values

It installs to the TorchButton directory and uses the Config.png for the link

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] richyxd:
Many thanks to NetRipper and Martjin, TorchButton is really a great gadget I can get for my HD2, it simply works better and richer in functions than the official htc flashlight. I like it especially that it still lights up even when switching to other apps or locking the phone and goes off at the timeouts, I find it more useful that way while htc FL fails to do so. :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] curiousGeorge:
Me too. This is probably intentional (timeout and other nonsense), and I hate it. HTC included "Bright mode" in their own Flashlight application, so it's perfectly safe. I've used it on bright mode for hours. So has my friend. The thing doesn't even get very warm (just drains battery like the dickens).

About time to fix the behavior for the HD2, eh?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dr4g0n:
i have a other idea, for this programm

like a background running app, use the camera LED for notification, or signal events, like incomming call, new sms, missed sms or call.

the programm can check the G-Sensor and you have a option,

if (LED is upside)

led signal on

else

led signal off

or a setting for this, i have a glasstable and the hd2 can bright the room, across the table, on call or so

or for night...
