I've tried a few of the popular torch apps on the market including TelsaLED but none of them work properly on the O3D.
Trying to turn the LED on has a massive delay. If it does turn on it goes off when the screen goes off. When I try and turn the LED off sometimes it does and sometimes it doesnt, and has creahed the phone a few times.
Has anyone else used a torch app without any problems?
The flash in the camera, and even turning the light on in movie mode works with no issues.
I use Droidlight on my thrill works great never had any problems. I've used plenty others and this is the only one that seems to work correctly!! Real bright

Hey guys, finally got CM7 onto my HTC Vision/T-Mobile G2. Loving it.
However there's one small thing that's been bugging the snot out of me.
I turned off Auto Orientation since I like using my phone while I'm lying down in bed (so I'm usually turned to the side). I'm not a fan of Accelerometers on phones in general. Youtube obeyed the Auto Orientation of Froyo, but Youtube in Gingerbread doesn't. This ONLY happens while playing a video. The Youtube application itself (browsing my subscriptions, searching for videos, etc) works fine, but once I get it playing a video, the phone tries to be "helpful" and play in widescreen/sideways mode whenever I move it around.
The only way I can force it to be the orientation I want is either by pulling out the hardware keyboard (which keeps it in permanent landscape mode) or by double tapping the video (which forces it to go into portrait/landscape mode).
Any way to turn off Youtube's auto orientation change in Gingerbread? I tried using Smart Rotator to force Youtube to listen but it doesn't work.
I tried a bunch of apps from the market but I can't seem to turn it off either. I was so excited to see disabling rotation built into 2.3 with CM7 too.
I'm running CM7 on Droid Incredible.
Hi,
I have this wierd problem with my sensation. I found out that if i have my camera on and it falls a sleep it wont unlock any more. no ring nothing.buttons glow but a solid black screen. The only way out is a battery pull.
It's with photo camera and video camera mode. no other apps suffer fom this.
I've tried other roms but nothing. I currently run ARHD 3.6.7
I found out on accident but it is realy annoying me now
Any of u with the same problem or ideas?
known issue with kernel. not sure which kernels. try keepscreen app to keep screen awake if using camera so it doesnt freeze

Yeah, it's bricked kernel. Doesn't matter what version you use, it seems to keep on happening randomly.

Hi,
Go into Bricked Kernel post, there is a .zip file called, CAM-FIX.zip
Flash that, magic will happen =]
Thanks guys, I've all ready flashed an other kernel and it works all fine now.
CAM-FIX.zip on the other hand is only for sense 3.5 and I really prefer sense 3.0
The camfix patch is so the camera can even function in the first place, it does not fix this issue. Without the camfix, if you try to use the camera the screen just goes black and the phone freezes. This issue however is an intermittent one, where sometimes when you exit the camera you get the black screen and freeze. Doesn't happen all the time, but it's definitely the kernel at fault.
To the OP, if in your case it's only happening once the screen times out, you could always use tasker to make it not timeout when using that app?

I've tried a bunch of different "smart cover" type apps out, and I can't get anything to work. I saw in the Best/Worst apps list that Power Switch is good for the Infinity. I was unable to get it working, anybody else have success with it?

Don't know that app but I use Screen off and Lock...works great to switch off screen.
You don't have a keyboard dock, do you? I just close my docked tablet to put it to sleep and open it again to wake it.
My cover is still in the mail, but when I tried SmartCover and used my finger to cover the light sensor, it worked like it was supposed to. The only thing i didn't have the patience to deal with (yet) was getting the settings right for low light situations; and yes I did check the box to make it know that after a certain time, it would be darker and thus not be as sensitive. When my cover arrives, I'll try again and let ya know :laugh:
I have tried every smart cover-esque app I can, and none seem to work on the Infinity.
I use Proximity Screen Off Pro on my TF700 (needs rooted)
after install, you have to choose "ambient light sensor" (not proximity sensor), hit start service (in app) and reboot.
works great in TF700

Works great for turning it off. How do you get it to turn the screen back on?
I use Awesome On Off Ultimate. I tried other similar programs, but this is the best one so far.
Hi!
My Sensation has been experiencing some weird behaviours.
Although the rotation is locked on the rom (I tried several, all same issue), it still rotates. The only way to stop this is through the launcher options and force vertical mode.
It wakes up during the night, out of the blue. Nothing running, no processes waking it up.
Sometimes I'm browsing stuff (like this morning, browsing the TB backup list), and it kept going back like I pressed "Back" button.
Now, I tried several roms since, all same behaviour (Sense, AOSP, CM, etc..).
Used an app to test the sensors, they all seem to be responding accordingly, although I don't exclude a sensor issue, for some reason it shows normal behaviour in everything else. The rotation works properly as in, turning the way it should, but if it's locked, why it keeps rotating?
Did anyone ever experienced anything like this? I searched on google / xda, there's some odd cases here and there and either they ended up being sensor files being corrupted or uncalibrated.
Anyone care to shed a light on this?
Thank's a lot
Update: New sympthom, on Sense 3.6, it seems like Dock Mode is being called randomly too. This makes me consider a sort of loose contact or alike :S
Anyone?
Hey all,
For some time now, my camera has not been working...kinda. If I use the regular app or any third party camera app, it comes up as a black screen, freezes, and closes down. But then something weird happened.
I started playing Pokemon GO. On the bits where the camera is enabled (to throw Pokeballs), the camera works! Even more bizarre, if I open the camera app while Pokemon GO is running, it will work just fine! This applies to both the front and back camera, both of which had the issue I mentioned.
Only when the app is open though. When I close it and try to go back to the camera then no-go. I have done a reset on the phone, I have tried all kinds of third party apps, I have tried booting in safe mode. Nothing works except what I just mentioned.
Can anyone shed some light on what might be going on? I'd like to use the camera without opening Pokemon GO but I am OK with it for now since I can use my camera again, albeit in a convoluted way.
I was thinking about trying a custom kernel (insomuch as I can with a locked phone). Worth a shot?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
