Is ther anyway to turn the flashlight off on the stock SE camera? i turn it off in the settings but whenever I record video it always comes on...
that's not the flashlight, thats the recorded advice (is low light, not so bright like the flash) i don't know but i think you cannot disable it at least not in a simple way...it's like the red record light in video cameras.
yeah i noticed that it's not as bright as when I turn flash on... but yeah I need to turn that off i wanna be able to record video without my daughter noticing because as soon as she sees that light come on she stops doing whatever she's doing... so anoying!
hello is it possible to activate the front (white) led when skyping with the front camera?
that would be great to skype in the dark!
if not, is it possible to make a mod?
the LED will not be enough to brighten your face in the dark during skype, so i guess its useless
its not powerful enough for that purpose, its just a notification led
In the speedrom theres a flashlight tweak that we can use in back ground but since I have an other phone I didnt find an app or tweak like that. All the app on the market makes the led go off when we exit the app. I need this tweak because the camera on my new phone (Atrix HD) is very poor but when the light is open its okay.
have you tried? tiny flash light its a free flashlight app that runs in the background, since that seems to be your issue...
thank you but my camera forced close when the led is active. what to do?
since your camera needs the led for taking pictures.. you obviously cant use the camera while another application is using the led.. just close the flashlight and open the camera.. besides your camera should have auto or flash features.. so there's no need to have the flashlight on while taking pictures
but in speedrom i can use the camera when the flashlight is on (status bar tweak) and yes my new phones do bad picture whit is flash it's need to be full of light because it's not doing a good focus tho
i'm not sure about that.. but on my phone if the led is on... i cannot access the camera... maybe because the sense camera is different from the aosp camera... that could be the issue...but its not a big deal.. like i said before.. most people don't use the led while having the camera on.. xD
Hello,
Has anyone noticed a promixity (maybe ambient light) sensor issue? Often (more in the dark) I can see a weak red light blinking right where there is the proximity sensor(it stays there if automatic brightness is on). I tried disabling and closing one app per time but it seems more like a software bug...
Anyone else?
Sony Xperia X F5121
Hello ! Yes! (sorry for my language I'm French).
Tonight, after charging my phone at 100%, I have seen a red little light in the '' capter '' a the right (for automatic luminosity I think). It was a big bug who during ~ 30 minutes. And I have lost 20% of battery, I think, cause to this bug.. Do you already have the bug today?

Are you kidding me guys? :laugh::laugh:
It's not a red light.... It's barely visible because it's an Infrared Sensor Infrared light is usually visible only in very dark conditions.
Hint that will make your day - when it's dark and you barely see it, try pointing a camera at it! It flashes white now, doesn't it.

more than wanting to know what it is, i think they want to understand why; why does the proximity sensor stay on?
i had this question too, before updating to the latest firmware (.292). after that, it seems the "problem" doesn't occur anymore, but i'm not that sure. i'll have to double check.
however, do some of you use "Smart backlight control" feature?

Smart backlight control makes use of the accelerometer of the phone. Keeps the screen on by detecting movement. Neat feature.
Smart call handling on the other hand uses the proximity sensor. Also the style cover preinstalled software. And of course Call handling uses the proximity sensor.
I'm using a modified version of Gravity Screen for pocket mode. Proximity sensor flashes all the time in order to turn the screen on and off when it's in or out of the pocket. Also I use the proximity sensor so that the screen won't turn on when it's in the pocket - like when a call comes in and I don't want to accidentally answer.
One thing you should know about the proximity sensor is that it uses a crazy low amount of power (0.18mA). Now the software that uses the sensor might have many wakelocks but we also need features so it's a small price to pay haha. Also if you're planing on using gravity screen (which is a cool app), you can always add a on/off widget.
There's really nothing to worry about - none of those features/apps I mentioned register on power consumption.
Hey folks,
Does anyone know of a way to have the watch display in ambient mode (instead of turning fully on) when you tilt it? I find that the ambient mode is plenty bright and don't need or want it to light up fully when I just want to see the time. Any thoughts or ideas?
Switch off "turning on screen on tilt" (or something like that) in watch settings in Android Wear app
