I've been finding myself in many situations where I would love to use my camera in dark/dim places while on a phone call, however, I get a message saying:
"flash light is disabled because of low battery power, cold weather, or phone call."
I tried using an app called LED Desire to take pictures, but it will just shut off during the snapshot. However, it does work well with the video camera on call or off call (pretty nice).
Is there a way to have the flash light work for the camera during phone calls?
Thanks.
Guessing this is a no go?

Download LED Light from the market. Works greats for the camera and video
You must be on the phone a lot o_o.
Try LED Light.
get flashlight alerts forgot where i got it.. Ill post all my found apps sometime soon.
it is designated app to flash LEDs when sms and calls come in even in vibe or silent.
Thanks for the replies, but like led desire, led light does the same thing when taking pictures while on the phone.... the light just forcefully shuts off after snapping a pic causing a black pic. Haha and yes I talk a lot and like to share my surroundings while on phone

Anyone know of a stobe light app for epic
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Try app called "color flashlight". Under the effects section, there's a strobe light, among others.
I'm sure you mean a strobe light using the LED on the back of the phone. I've been looking for one, too, but all the ones I've seen in the Market don't seem to work on the Epic. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes I am speaking in terms of the LED. Anyone anything?

Try TESLALED and get the donation version he's one of our own here. Great program.
There's a very long delay between hitting the widget led switch (on any app) until the LED actually turns on. It's not likely strobe will work until this delay is removed, if at all possible. The led on my wife's moment turns on instantly by comparison.

+1 on teslaled.. Best light app on market, and widget is perfect..
Traced with Ultra Keyboard from my *Epic*
Thanks for this....works great! I've been looking for an LED light that would work on the Epic for a while now.
The flashlight works fine but not the strobe effect.
There is no strobe LED for the epic because the sensor is made by NEC the libs are loaded each and every time the LED turns on and off, hence the long delay.
Ok, I did a quick test, if I go to the camera and click the Camera button quickly I get almost the same effect....why can't it be programmed the same way and if you say the library is loaded every time, maybe keep them loaded and just call upon them? How does the camera work where it detects you pressing the button and turn on the LED so quickly? I am sure it can be done, but I am not an android developer so I have no clue.
Maybe this belongs in the development area but...
The evo3d got a notification led wich i like...what about if we can make the capacitive button led's blink or something when we have a mail and sms...
Maybe more guys have this idea but well....tell me if its possible and a good idea
It is probably possible and I think developers will have a hand on it if they havent yet.
It will be eventually supported.
this idea is awesome. i think it is possible

Glad someone's liking it
This would be a nice to have for sure. If can light up those "buttons" to use for notification, it will be great.
This is already done with O2X, so it is definitely on the way for us
My previous phone was GalaxyS which had no led aswell.
I used a programmed called NoLed on the Galaxy. Installed on Optimus 3d and seems to work fine.

It doesnt support the capacitive button led's.
Sorry i was only suggesting this as a temporary alternative until further developments.
I really like this idea!
But is it possible to expand on it further?
Since there's 4 capacitive buttons on the phone, are we able to make them blink individually?
For example... home button blinks when we have a missed call, menu button blinks when we have a message, back button blinks when we have an email, and etc?
Noled seems to be working fine for me...

Yeah works fine for letting the SCREEN blink?

Unfortunately not. As the app page states, AMOLED uses no power displaying a fully black pixel so displaying alerts on the screen takes very little power.
Now as the O3D has an old fashioned LCD, it consumes potentially a ton of power just to turn the screen on at all, because it has to light the whole screen just to start. Plus, it uses the MOST power displaying black (least displaying all white), so it would need the opposite behaviour.
[UPDATE]
Ah I see you can make the screen blink, I didn't notice that at first. Might actually be useful then.
i've tested it with the developer of the LG notification app. it seems, that the files which have to be used are'nt writeable. so without root it won't work
perhaps we should send tons of mails to LG, that they make it possible.

Also the notifications can have a time limit, i have set at 15mins and haven't noticed any battery drain.

Hi guys,
I've modified Martin Börjesson's app and now it works on ROOTed O3D and I'll upload it soon.
To-do:
1) fading doesn't work
2) change of brightness doesn't work
What will never work
1) separate LEDs - I don't think there's a way to control each of them, only all 4 LEDs

Hi,
I just saw today, that there was a very weak red light just next to the proximity and light sensor. It looked like it was flickering at a very high rate!
I tried to restart the phone normally, but the light didn't disappear. After that I tried a reset by holding the power button down for 10 seconds. That made it vanish.
What the f**k was that all about???
Best regards
Casper
If you were making a phone call, the red flashing light is normal It's the proximity sensor. If you were doing nothing, it should not be seen the red light, might be faulty.

Its The Goverment Spyin On us...Making Sure We Dont Flash Anything Or Even Root...If So It Will Say Tampered And The S.W.A.T. Team Will Come Crashin in Our Homes...
That red light is in fact the actual proximity sensor and it's in use while in a call. If you where not in a call then that was a strange occurance unless you ran some of these sensor testing apps...
Well, I wasn't in a call. I had been calling someone through the hands-free in my car on my way to work, where I discovered it about 10-15 minutes after the call was finished...

That was an odd one... maybe it was a temporary fluke? Strnag nonetheless...
I often use face unlock. The red light turns on when the front cam turns on.

any tips on how to trouble shoot this? I wish I could figure out which app (if any) is causing the proximity sensor to stay lit.
I've heard it's related to an autobrightness tweak, but it appears even when tweak is not applied, across multiple roms. The only commonality between my roms is the apps I have installed.
I've tried multiple proximity sensor testing apps and, it's working.. it's just always lit up.

Same here. Have to restart to get it off again. Any help? (TrickDroid 4.3)
Anytime you make a call by any means other than handset to your ear, the proximity sensor will come on and stay lit until reboot or until you make another call via handset.
Example:
Place call> turn on speaker phone> hang up - proximity sensor will stay lit after call;
To fix do this:
Place call from handset (not using speaker phone or hands free) and hang up right away, or reboot device and light will go out.
Same seems to go for calls through hands free as well.
These guys are lying its a bomb isn't it obvious flashing red light HTC controls it if u do something they don't want u to do boom ur hands are no more why do u think the phone heats up so much its a warning don't believe me read the thread in forums about heats in the one s another reason they don't want us to remove back well see the bomb :what:

Hi All,
My One S also does this. I'm finding it a pain to have to make a call after using speakerphone to turn the proximity sensor off again. Has anyone found out what the cause of this is?
I've tried clearing cache partition with HTC support but still no fix.
Hi all, I forgot to mention that the issue on my phone only happens when the call is ended with speakerphone active. If I turn off the speakerphone before ending the call it does not happen.
Hey brothers.. I had the same problem with the proximity sensor not turning off.. Even after so many restarts resets... Finally I just opened the original task manager of the one x, and push "stop all" .. and YES!! the sensor was turned of and stopped lighting.. After that I tried calls with speaker phone or not.. No problem.. Now it is working how it has to...

You maybe have turned off Viber doing this: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=80972874
Does it come back after restarting Viber?
Sometimes a restart fixes the problem.
I had the same problem. I uninstaled Viber and the light disipired.

Later I realized that Viber is the reason. Yes. But now it seems that Viber is fixed after last update, and no red light when viber is turned on
Hello Everyone,
I have Samsung infuse installed with CM10 JB 4.1.1 v. 8/23/12 ROM which is working good, I get fare battery life of 1.5 days with normal use.
But I am not getting any notification on screen when I get any call or SMS, I get ringtone alert but screen is blank.
Please let me know if all are facing this issue with Call or SMS notification light. Also tell me if there is any FIX available for this.
Thanks in Advance .
There is no notification light for the Infuse, and none of the ICS or JB ROMs have the built in "screen light up upon notification" ability that Gingerbread had. I believe this is because the post-Gingerbread ROMs for Infuse are built upon code for phones with notification lights.
But, your screen should still be lighting up when you receive a call. Mine certainly does. You might want to try a re-flash.

Hi Lukas, Thanks for reply. I did re flash but I m still not getting lighting up screen notification when I receive any SMS.
Actually is it possible for Dev team to glow up Menu, Home, Back and Search button lights up or blink when we miss any call or SMS ?
That will be really great, what you say

The screen won't light up for SMS outside of Gingerbread ROMs. As I said previously, I think this is because the ICS and JB ROMs that are built for the Infuse are being built off of code for phones which have notification lights. Phones with notification lights also don't light up the screen for SMS...they just light up the LED notification light.
I too wish that the screen would light up when I receive an SMS, as I'm completely deaf in one ear and don't always hear the notification sound. I've suggested it on at least one ICS ROM, but that suggestion never came to fruition.
I think it's just one of those things that most people don't care for. I enjoy the added functionality of JB, so I've just learned to live without it.
If it's a deal breaker for you, there are still some really awesome Gingerbread ROMs that you can flash that will still have the native SMS notification screen light up. Or, perhaps you can go into the Development subforum for whichever ROM you're running, and ask the developer if there is any way to add this functionality back into post-GB ROMs
Use GoSMS it has the features that you're looking for and it's FREE.
