Has anyone found a flashlight app that works with this phone? Most of the free ones and the one paid one i have used don't work. I have tried Tesla LED, LED flashlight and none seem to work.
Tiny Flashlight + LED by Nikolay Ananiev works for a second then turns off even though the ON button is active

I noticed Tiny Flashlight updated recently to support the Charge, does it still only work on the second try?
Brightest Flashlight works flawlessly.

Ok so I use my leds as a flashlight from time to time...no constant use..and I'm running cm7 that came with the nexus torch app and can high intensity etc...normally I only use regular intensity. Well within the past few days I noticed my led flickers...and comes on but barely on...its the lower led of the 2 but it only halfass works and sometimes not at all...when I try to take a pic there's no flash when its supposed to...but when I take a video, it uses the top led so it works just fine.....am I alone in this?

I have been using both normal mode and Death Ray mode with no issue on mine..
I'm assuming its a hardware issue as apposed to a software issue since its so sporatic.....damn..

Did you not read the warning that comes up when you choose high-intensity?
yeah i read it just fine....i've never used it for longer than like 10 seconds constantly and not even that often..only had the phone for 3 weeks and only rooted for a week n a half. it shouldn't be spazzing out and not working in such a short amount of time.
Unrooted..s-on..stock ATT ruu and now it works fine......I dunno...*confused*

Am I missing something, but I can't find how to enable notifications for missed email or calls. Does this feature exist?
I surprised no one seemed to bothered by lack of led notification... This was the most useful feature in N1

Actually I'm very bothered by it, but knew about it going in. I just don't think any phones are going to have that magic trackball or led notification anymore.
Apparently there's a mod for the Optimus 2x that enables the soft keys at the bottom of the phone to light up as notifications, but it hasn't been ported to the G2X yet.
Well, there might be no dedicated LED, but there are those touch buttons, they should do the trick. As a matter of fact there is an app Touch LED Notifications (BETA) 0.3, but it appears a bit buggy still.
been using touch led beta 0.3 for two days. so far it's workin great!

Yep, touch led beta 0.3 works fine for me for 2 days now.
I can not find a download link on that page to save my life. Do I need to register?

does the led button app drain your battery life? doesnt that unsleep the phone?
There is also an app in the market called noLED that works awesome.
Noled is great for amoled screens to my knowledge. On amoled you can light up a specific led whereas on LCD you still turn on the entire backlight.
From author's description the app processes notifications only when they are received and the phone is awoken anyway. You can also set timeout after which the less stop flashing (I set it to 3 hours for example.)

The 2x touch LED app has been working for me for almost 2 days now w/no apparent issues.
Touch LED Beta 0.3 working great here! Haven't tested noLED from market but it's meant for AMOLED screens whose black pixels do not consume power. If you use noLED for notifications to display on your LCD screen, it will be like leaving the whole screen on any time you have a message.
Yea 2x touch just pulses your capacitive buttons at the bottom. Its configurable and works great...
I'd rather light up 4 LEDs then my whole backlight.

Started using the Touch LED app, works great. So glad this came along. Hit thanks button rroyter and biturbomunkie.
Hey can one of you tell me your settings on it?? I want to make sure i have it set up correctly.
Its strange im using google voice for text but everytime i receive one the keys dont light up...is this a bug???
Perfect! Just had to change the file extension from txt to apk for some reason. Works good unrooted.
will this stop my entire screen from illuminating when i get a text? all my other android phones did not have their screens turn on when a text comes through unless i had an sms pop up app.
Need a little help with this, when I DL the .apk on my phone, it turns into a .txt file. What am I doin wrong?

I've used TeslaLED on my other phones with success. On the G2X it acts weird. It'll toggle on and off most of the time, but it's extremely delayed, and the widget and notification widget don't show I turned it off.
Anybody know of one that works good with this phone?

It has some lag once in awhile but "LED Light" works for me
Thanks guys i‘ll try some of those.

LED Light FTW...Search for LED Light in the market and it comes up as tiny flashlight + led...thats the one
I use one called "Magnify."
It not only is handy as a flashlight, but acts as a magnifying glass (with the camera) to help do things like read small print.
I found Tiny + the other day, it works fine but IMO it a pain to use.
On the Nexus One there was an app call Nexus One Flashlight, it was a simple one slot widget that would toggle the LED on and off with a single touch. I kept it on my center screen and used it all the time.
I'd like to find a flashlight app that toggles the G2x's flash on and off with a single touch.

Tiny+ has a widget. Works pretty well. Not perfect, but 99% there until something gets updated specifically for our phone.

Sweet!, I did not know that... guess I should RTFM!
Tried both apps after turning off and on once it lags or crashes. If anyone finds a stable app please share.

That one works well for me also. No widget, but a shortcut to it does just fine. Just press the back button to turn off.
+1 for Tiny Flashlight + LED
I use the widget and it's one touch on, one touch off. Widget is only 1x1. Perfection.
I simply use Google Goggles. I never need the LED light for long so I don't mind the camera running with it for a little.
I've been using Tiny+ myself. Widget works fine and haven't really had much trouble with fc's. Anyone know of a way to use the hardbuttons (volume up, down) to activate the led? Or better yet, an app that already does that?
Is it just me, or can nobody else get Light Manager to work properly? I've enabled access to notifications, but despite the fact I set WhatsApp to green and Facebook to blue, they both flash white.
Simply a bug in the app due to a new version of Android, or something more sinister?

Same here only see it all White Maybe Nexus 5 only have White Light?

No, if you test a notification, the different colours all show up. I'm wondering if the way they have implemented notification access has changed slightly then, or if there is some kind of global override I can turn off....

Light Manager has never worked for me. It doesn't matter what color I assign apps on my Note 2, Light Manager just assigns them whatever color it thinks is right.
Give Light Flow a try. The N5 definitely has a multi-colored LED
Appreciate the suggestion, but Facebook and WhatsApp require the paid version to work, and I'm not paying to test it to discover they don't work on KitKat yet.

You should try Lighflow. See if that works better for you,
well try lightflow ... only get white notification light
I'm a derp. Nevermind.
Anyone having problems with theirs? Even with light flow I have problems. What settings are other people using to get light flow to work?

There was an update today for it that supposedly had N5 support but it did not work for me until I turned off the Foreground option. Also when running the test I had to turn the screen off.

Lightflow working fine for me, even before the update. I unchecked Foreground since I don't like the persistent notification, but no issues either way.
The only "issue" I found is that after the update you have to go back in and authorize LF to work with you Hangouts notifications again. After that, working great.

Cool, I'll check it out!
