Looking for an app that uses the camera LED as a flashlight. There are tons of those for the desire and N1 but I can't seem to find one for the Legend.
legend has to be rooted before you can do that, theres a guide here on the forum to root your legend.
btw search before making and entire new post there was just one similar few days ago
nexus one torch works if your legend is rooted :b

Lamppu (LED Torch) works on rooted phones.
Is it even a good idea to use a LED as a flashlight? I had a Samsung U700 before which somehow got broken. Whenever I turned it on the LED would turn on without any possibility to turn it off - unless I would use a hammer. Anyway after a while the LED went more blue-ish and besides that it got terribly hot whenever it was turned on for more than 10 seconds. I really doubt that it has any positive effect on the surrounding hardware - aka your entire HTC Legend!
@Tomm't: I don't think so - I've been using Lamppu (Thanks heaps, Dzondu!) for a few days now - fuse blows a lot at my house - and I've experienced no overheating problems or not turning off problems. Only problem I've had is reduced battery life due to the necessity to call the Camera API before you call the flash-light API (AFAIK, I'm no expert but I think that's correct).
Then again maybe I'm just using it more. Both are possible.

You don't need to run camera, just Lamppu itself and should work
I know you don't need to start the camera app, I mean that the Lamppu app makes an API call for the camera, effectively starting it up so it's sensing, and then turn on the flashlight with a second API call. AFAIK that's how it works and is the only way to make it work, so I meant that if you use the flashlight it basically starts the camera and just doesn't display the image, which takes battery power.

This is the Legend forum??
There is this app too, call Incredilight, works also on rooted Legends
froyo 2.2 has an official HTC flash light application ..
I have been using Lamppu and found some minor bugs..
After i have used it a couple of times the camera wont start, not with the LED turned on or off.. doesn't matter if i turn it off and try the camera, not even killing camera app solves the problem. The only solution i found was to reboot the phone.

Am I the only one having problems with the Proximity Sensor on the Atrix? I can't seem to get it to kick in when on a call. I have already dial-toned a couple of people when talking on the phone. I have tried covering up the sensor by placing the palm of my hand over the to 1/2 of the phone and it never kicks in.
Can someone verify for me that it does work and not some software bug.
Thanks,
Ed
Did you ever find the problem? My proximity sensor has stopped working also.
i am having an issue with mine too. at first i thought it was an issue with the screen not coming back on, but now i realize that the proximity sensor is not turning off the screen at all and my screen is just turning off when the screen timeout value is reached.
my phone is rooted, i have used titanium backup to freeze some of the apps associated with blur, and i have installed the hack to use webtop mode. can others that have this issue confirm if they are running stock or modified software?

Any of you guys ever find a fix for this? I just noticed that mine is not working anymore either. It's rooted using aRoot but it was working for a while and now it doesn't anymore. I have another couple of days to exchange in store if I want to if it's a phone issue.
Crap, I'm having the same issue now too -- was working fine since I had it, but this occured just today, Day-2 of using 1.5.7 .... wonder if it's related ...

Reboot seems to fix this -- but annoying >_<
Is anyone that is having these issues using bluetooth? I have isolated mine to bluetooth and sent an issue report to Motorola.
same problem here but not using bluetooth
My wife's Atrix does the same thing. "dials or hangs up while in a call". She does not own a bluetooth headset and I have only connected a Motorola 305 one time to it. Reboot fixes the problem. Reboot seems to take forever when compared to my Dell Streak.

Hi I believe I traced the problem with the proximity sensor not working to Handcent SMS. On two separate Atrixes, as soon as I uninstalled Handcent and rebooted the phone the problem went away and stayed away. I have since installed GoSMS and now it happens just sometimes (usually after I install a new app) but a reboot after installing an app ususlly fixes it.
My Phone has a standard Telstra (Australia ROM) and is not unlocked or modified in any way.

If you are using unlocked bootloader or if u have unlocked the dim using a code then u will have to disable the In Pocket detection and then try sounds crazy but worked for me.

Similar issue
Just installed latest stable build onto my Atrix 4G, everything seemed fine last night, although I was using phone with bluetooth, this morning get a call, answer, screen goes dark, red proximity light comes on, and I can hear no sound, [later on the caller said he could hear me fine].
Phone would not wake up right off, and when it did it I still could not hear caller.
Been screwing around with settings all morning to no avail, discovered that the phone will only work with bluetooth device connected. without bluetooth the device goes dark, cannot wake up, have to hard reboot, with bluetooth and volume button awaken enabled, it performs normally, so possible connection to issues in post with proximity but with a bluetooth twist...

Stock rom with, root, atrix tweaks installed.
Thank's a lot!!!
With my folio 100 with an updated Dexter ROM (1.4*), it wakes up regularly (I would say about each 15 minutes). This make the battery life VERY short.
Does anyone have the same problem?
Does anyone have a solution for that purpose?
Best regards.

Looks like it´s a nvidia problem, i have the same issue every now and then.
Response from dexter:
its a hardware bug, see Nvidia site on harmony development boards and tango.. they confirm they did not fix the issue.
Im having that problem too, so we currently dont have any solution?

I am not fully convinced that it is a hardware problem. My folio wakes up with all roms that are based on the stock rom. But I did not have a single wakeup with CM7.
I would rather blame the Nvidia drivers (ressource manager?) than the hardware itself for the wakeup bug (except that it may be that the wakeup is a dirty workaround for another hardware problem).
Hello,
I also had that problem at first, then I went in the wifi settings, pressed the menu button to bring up advanced seetings, set the wifi sleep policy to never and then disabled wifi and gps in the Location & security settings.
That seemed to work for me, it might not work for others...

Luis
Thanks Nyaria, i will try today if that works

Ok, I also removed a lot of apps that I don't need, I'll make a list of what's remaining and maybe the problem is with just one app.
I just finished a standby test with Foliomod 1.4 and got near 30 hours of standby with light email usage... not bad
Regards,

hello
for the problem of waking up the solution is to leave the wifi constantly under foliomod 1.4
if your portfolio suffers from freezing after waking up to SetCPU mini max 1000 604
but also
I have tried the ROM Mblaster very very very good work fluid
The main problem is that the wifi does not reconect
J So I installed the second version of max 1000
It is less fluid, but the wifi works well, but back then SOD j've given SetCPU mini max 1000 and 604 more problem
If you can solve the problem of wifi I am ready to test because my portfolio suffers whenever SOD
thank you for your very good work
sod negative return
ROM handed CyanogenMod 7.0.0 Oc 1500 with a 1000 SetCPU
and shutdownquick
can it be the folio buttons?
with my folio the screen wake's up and the search button flashes.
also wen i am working with it then the google search pops up
i tried deinstall the google search app but no effect on my broblem.
sorry for the bad english hope you guys can read it
I'm so thankful for this thread, cos the wifi advanced setting trick has worked for me!
my foliomod kept turning itself on every 60 secs (can you believe it), after it turned it off, and it was irritating me no end. now it stays off once i set the wifi policy to never.
thanks!
After few month there isn't solution for it ?
I think that problems is that folio search wifi network on every x seconds. That can be changed in build.prop file.

I had this issue with the honeycomb rom, v0.4 , turning back to foliomod 1.4 now all work good, but i can't turn off wi-fi during the screen-off, cause the wi-fi took a lot of time to take the network. I noticed that with honeycomb the "back" button was glowing and then the screen power up in lock state...maybe the problem could be folio button...

I have the newest update installed. I would rather not reinstall but it seems like it's my only choice. #Sadguy
I updated and still have the problem. sucks!
this was covered in another thread.. I can't recall where but the fix for this is related to the in pocket lock setting...
go into menu > settings > display
disable 'in pocket' detection..
reboot your phone..
after reboot, you may enable it again if you use that feature or leave it off.
PROFIT !!
I take no credit for this fix. I don't remember who discovered it but I'm sharing it because it bothered me after the update as well.
If this works/helps, remember to hit that magic thanks button
I've tried that and it doesn't work...only thing so far that works is a reboot

This isn't a device/hardware issue either. Something causes the sensor to shut off or fail. I feel this is software related.

I downloaded androsensor from the market, and you're right the prox sensor just stops responding... Says waiting for event, and after a reboot it gives an output of 1.2 our 39.4 inches.... Not sure what the prob is. I read on another forum that out may have something to do with rooting the phone, but I don't adhere with this. Are you guys with the problem rooted?

had the same problem. turning off "in-pocket detection" worked for me.
Just to confirm. Once I disabled the in pocket feature the proximity sensor works just fine.
Once you disable the in pocket feature you will need to power off your phone than re power it up and it should be fine.

yea was really annoying.....but it went away after updating the phone
Anyone still having the problem? I am. Im on the latest OTA and did a hard reset via recovery. Moto forums seem to think it has something to do with Bluetooth. Is it a known hardware issue? Resetting the phone always fixes it.
Ya mine does that too....i never ever use blue tooth so that cant be the only issue..bluetooth is off
On the latest update. 6 or whatever was just released the other day ..i manually pushed it with rsdlite
We will see if that fixed it

Hi everyone
I'm new to this forum but i must first give you much credit for what xda-developers community is doing.
I have a problem with my atrix 4g and his led flashlights. They don't work and when i say "don't work" i mean that occasionally (when the sun is up and the moon is high ) they work for a few minutes.
I'm always in batery Performance mode. I'm using stock Gingerbread and my Atrix is from AT&T. I haven't rooted it or unlocked bootloader. When i download any of the suggested flashlight apps from Android market it again doesn't work (or to be specific, sometimes it blinks few times and then it turns out)
Any suggestions? I hope that's not the hardware problem ... i wasjust wondering if any of you guys had such a problem?
Thanks in advance
I'm using the free one from market. It works good (rooted Atrix)
Torch on CM7 works fine for me, before CM I used Droidlight.
Nexus torch
best app on the market for certain phones, very light weight and a widget.
tested and working on atrix
Unfortunatly non of this worked for me. I think my flashlight is broken. No other solutions. Thanks anyway
Hey Everyone,
So got my c6833 a couple days ago. Everything was fine until i updated it.
So here is the issue. When i get notifications or phone calls the audio comes out of my top ear piece instead of the bottom loud speaker.
And to point out i do not have any custom roms or apps. Stock everything.
Anyone else having this issue as well???
Yes I got this problem too.

This is my first Sony .... They should come up with a fix really soon.......
The sound problem do comes and goes away.....But very low sound , specially when phone is connected to the charger.....
there has been a fix from Z1 forum:
1. Open Settings->Sound->Volumes
2. Slide the second slider all the way to the right
3. While the Volume slider dialog still open and the sound preview still playing, retract the Notification Bar from top to bottom (as if you are going to check any notification/toggling a quick toggle button)
4. The Playback sound will go to the main speaker, after that, restart the phone
6. If the problem persist, please uninstall updates on chrome and Smart Connect, then restart again
7. After restarting, please reinstall Chrome and Smart Connect update again.
Same sound problems
I have the same sound problems since the KitKat update. Sound goes in and out/sound gets very low randomly. Actually, the sound comes from the ear piece speaker at times when it should come from the regular bottom loud speaker. I can't hear the phone ringing if the sound is coming from the ear piece speaker! I have missed lots of phone calls because of this. It is very frustrating. A reboot will fix it for a very short time. The same with disabling/uninstalling updates for Smart Connect & Chrome. The fix never lasts. I can't believe that there is no real fix for this.
