flash light - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

My sony ericcson has a flash that you can turn on like a flash light. Does anyone have or know of a software or hardware solution to be able to work the light with out going thru the camera software.

I think VJCandela works on Hermes.
I've never tested it, I don't have one , but Paul from Modaco said it does.

yup i use vjcandela lite mapped to a harware button it works well on my vario II

Thanks for the suggestions, I am going to work on it!!

Having read the website id think twice about using it since the LED WILL be damaged over time according to the developer.

Disabling the annoying green-phone-light

Hi there y'all,
my xda neo / Prophet is always blinking green while he has got an telephone-connection with my provider and i hate that blinkin light, especially in my bedroom.
Has anyone got an idea how to disable this? Is there any possibility via Registry?
Thanks for any help!
a piece of black tape perhaps?
Try
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\AllLEDMgr\Index
change the value to 0
__________________
I used LED Toggle which I attached. It works fine.
You do have to watch out though: disconnect your phone from power or your computer before you activate it. Using it once stops the light and using it again turns it back on.
It looks like the effect is gone after a softreset.
And another thing: some hours after using it my phone didn't respond at all for a few minutes. The only solution was a soft reset. This has happened several times now and when I keep the light on it seems to be working normal again. I don't know if it's just my Prophet but if you encounter the same problem we know where it's coming from.

Thanks Jay, your little program works perfect. I'll see if i'll get the same problem and report it here
niketkumar, thanks for your help. I first try Jays Software, if i get the same problems i'll use your registry hack.
Thanks to both of you from my girlfriend, too - cause now it's less greener in our bedroom
So? Any news?
I stopped using the software and my phone hasn't crashed once. How's yours behaving?
Had the exact same problem, when using LED Toggle my device occasionally hangs. Since I stopped using it everything works just fine..
Man, that just sucks. I was so happy to be rid of that stupid light.
Now about that registry hack. I can find everything up to "\builtin" but the rest (AllLEDMgr\Index) doesn't exist. Do I have to create a new folder with an index file which has the value set to 0 or what?
Don't remember if I've tried the registry hack mentioned above, but I followed the thread about this issue in Modaco and tried numerous registry hacks before ending up with the only solution (that I'm aware of) that currently seems to work.
Which, unfortunately is the LED Toggle attached above, which in hand makes your device quite unstable..
So, back to the drawing board guys - hope someone finds a solution!
Just checked the corresponding thread on Modaco (http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=243948&st=0) and indeed this solution is not working flawlessly on our beloved Prophets..
Why not just place it face down on your dresser at night?
this has to be one of the dumbest hack request on the site!!! do as blunt man said and put it face down if it's that annoying!

this has to be one of the dumbest comments i ever got in an professionals-board.
Jayxz, any of the workarounds i found generated problems so i just painted the light black. Not really the best solution but it sucked so badly
I find the green light annoying too, but i'd still like to have the orange warning when i received a msg or missed a call....
I hope that somebody could find a working solution for this
You can try the attached File i found at the MoDaCo Forum.
It works on my Prophet but some Users told that it drains the Battery

P3600 buttons not working anymore

Hi!
Since yesterday my ok, windows, on and off hook and -- buttons aren't working anymore. The button in the middle and the cursor are still ok. Any ideas?
Due to the fact that the "--" (left and right) are not working I can't even do a hard reset.

Hi, I dont know what happened to your buddy, have you recently installed third party software? Anyway you can do an hard reset via the control panel under setting|system|
Hope this helps

Hi all,
OK I did a hard reset but it didn't work. Still no go :-(
The black coating is also peeling off. What a nice device.
mine just packed up too
more and more bugs are showing up every day passes... I somehow knew It would happen.. I don't think I'll take the risk of buying a p3600 through import without warranty after reading all these problems..
Good luck man
Trinity working well ..

While I dare not say my Trinity will be problem free, so far it has served me well. Everything is working as it should and the internal GPS has been enabled without a single problem. I'm on the test ROM (AKU3.3) and so far the performance is much better than my old Dopod 838 Pro (Hermes).
So far I have been very impressed with HTC built devices. A friend of mine's Dopod 838pro (Hermes) went into the pool accidentally, and it refuse to boot. After 3 days of intensive 'drying' it finally came back to life and it is working problem free until now.

Hehe, good to hear that....
I'm personally considering the hermes (TYTN) myself, because it's available here with warranty.. I hope the new ROM with AKU3.3 will improve it..

My personal advise to you would be to test the 3G call on that device before you buy it. The only advantage the Tytn has over Trinity is:
1) Flash light & Macro Picture
2) Keyboard
3) Additional hard button (Messaging, IE, 3G call)

The main reason I'm considering it is that i can buy it from here in israel with warranty, I don't wanna risk buying the trinity abroad.
I don't really care about 3G calls, I never use it, but 3G internet speeds aren't bad
the keyboard seems a big advantage over the trinity. The main advantage of the trinity is the small and pocket form factor, but unfortunately I can have it only by importing it

ok cheers, if it's any help they have repaired mine twice for this issue. Originally it went in for the peeling paint, but while they had it the buttons failed the test so were replaced. Then when they bodged the repair and it went back again, again the buttons failed the test and they replaced again.
Then when I get the phone back...the buttons don't work! Incidently before they started repairing the phone I never had a problem with the buttons
Hi!
I know that this thread is quite old but I prefer to post in this thread rather than opening a new one (sorry if I am not doing well but I am new at the community )
Yesterday I was working on a P3600 and suddenly all buttons stop working. The irDA also did not work. I have left the phone all the night without the battery (I really don't know what I was trying to achieve ), and this morning the buttons (and the irDa) did not work yet. Now, after a hard reset, it seems that all is working as it should.
My questions are, why after a hard reset? (it seems to point out a software issue); is this problem related to the touch screen problem I've been reading about in the forum? (perhaps the cause is the same); and finally, is it likely to appear again?
Thanks in advance
ROM version: 1.15.412.2 10/23/06 (original one)
Radio version: 1.20.00.11
ExtROM version: 1.15.412.101
My D-pad select, down, right and OK have been getting steadily worse requiring more pressure to use. Mine isn't software related. Just sent it back today asking for the black peeling issue to be repaired as well.
I held out as long as I could hoping that any issues had been resolved by HTC. I'll post when I get it back.

did u get it back? my keys also stopped working..windows + ok + up key.
should i contact htc or e-tailer?
You will probably have to get return authorization through your retailer.
It's been about 2-1/2 weeks and no word from HTC. I emailed them today. I will be sure to post when I get it back regarding GPS Rom and peeling.
Just got it back - all pretty again. They replaced the bezel and switch board. Still has old rom but I am happy.

I've had the exact same thing happen twice now. Everything is going along fine and then suddenly all the keys stop working until I do a hard reset. The touch screen keeps going as normal. I haven't tested the IRDA but it appears that USB and active sync don't want to go either. A hard reset solves the problem but then I have to reinstall things which is annoying.
There must be other people out there with this problem. Has anyone come up with a solution?
I don't think, that there will be a fix...seems like a hardware problem to me.
I have nearly the same....the red and the green call buttons don't work properly!
For me they work immediately after a soft reset and then stop again within about 30 seconds. Hardware or software? it would appear to be software but I had the same issue using the official T-Mobile WM5 and still umder Black Satin WM6.....
think I'll flash back to official ROM and take it into the shop tomorrow!

still no software for enabling the flashlight on the wizard?

hello guys., still no way to use the wizard as flashlight? tnx in advance, -storm
Is this what you want?
http://www.vijay555.com/index.php?Releases:VJCandela
Be careful with it though. I've heard people have ruined the camera flash by over using this. Vijay555 has even modified the page to say it will damage your flash led...
Personally I just set my screen to not go off for 2 minutes, and that works as a really bright flashlight Sure, uses more power, but I"M not using it for long periods of time usually.
thanks but this isn't working for the wizard
i know vj was at working about this some months ago but i didn't receive any news about it.....so i'm guessing still no way to use our lovely wizard as torch

It always amazes me what kind of needs people have! The WIZ makes a quite expensive flashlight. Every key chain pocket flash light has better light and is more handy to use!

Backlight not working

Yes, it's true. My Wizard revived, but with a small problem: the backlight doesn't turn on not even after some Hard Resets and even on bootloader mode, the screen is dim all the time.
I've also changed the settings on the slider with no success and searched the forum and found no answers.
What can cause this and what is the "cure"?
Thanks in advance.
probs it the LCD find out what type of screen it is my mate can get hold f one at a decent price if interested

Thanks for the tip. Is there any way we can fix the light?
The screen works, the touch works, but it's far too dim to use it.
Anyone else?
You say you have hard reset it, but have you tried flashing a different original rom to it to see if that fixes it? It might be a hardware problem with the lcd but i did have an issue once on my himalaya after flashing a new rom and i couldnt get the backlight to work, but after flashing an original rom it worked again and then i reflashed a cooked rom and it still worked

I'll try that!
I've already flashed the original one...maybe flashing it with something else could fix it...
Thanks again
OK, just reflashed with a WM6 ROM (TNT.1933_Professional___HTC_Home_Wizard.rar) but it's the same. I can barely see what's on the screen. The screen works, the touch works, but it's too dim to use it.
So maybe it's not the backlight, I think it's the front light...
I also have dismantled it and cleaned out the contacts, re-assembled and flashed it again with no luck...
Help?

WM6 ROM (TNT.1933_Professional___HTC_Home_Wizard.rar) <---- that isnt an original rom, i am on about a operator rom that was officially released for your device, i.e. mine is an xda mini-s so my original provider would be o2, so i would use an o2 rom update that was released by them.
What you have basically done is install a cooked rom from itsright. Whoever the phone was released by try flashing their original wm5 rom to your device to see if it fixes it. THEN try flashing the tnt rom
Ok, some new developments. The LCD is fine and working and there's no problem with the backlight. I've manage to find that the issue was the mainboard all along.
I've used another LCD (a good one) and the backlight was still on, so the problem might be the mainboard is fried.
So, anyone can help me out? I just need a new mainboard (can be with the USB Connector in bad conditions, cause I have some solder skills).
Please help me out.
Edit: The Thing now doesn't charge properly. After some time, I get a flashing orange led and my Wizard heats up like it's going to blow...

Internal GPS led flashes orange and not blu

I have installed bepe 0.65 and noticed that my GPS led flashes orange and not blue.
The led flashes blue when I reboot but maybe it is the bluetooth. Any way to change it to blue by editing the registry or similar?
Thanks.
It's supposed to be orange!
I know it is supposed to be orange but prefer it blue like in my P3300.
Nueled does not work.

Only if you can used soldering iron.
It hardware feature.
Why a hardware feature if it can flash blu when using BT?
Not so easy cuz it's just 1 tri-color led.
Anyway BlueTooth = blue led
GPS = orange led
WiFi = green led

No offence but why the f*ck would you care if the LED colour is orange when you are using the GPS ? I assume the screen with the roadmap is more important then the colour of the LED ?
Again, sorry for the f word but come on what a question
What's the point of adding such comments to a thread? If you are not interested texarcana, just skip it.
One of the good things of HTC devices is the possibility to adapt the pda to your tastes and needs, and I like the LED to be blu, just like my P3300. So please leave it, unless you have some constructive proposals to make.
I want a white LED
i actually somewhat agree with texarcana, odd request. anyways, i did see software out there to set what the color of the light should be for different functions. the software was for the kaiser if i'm not mistaken (don't quote me). and i never tried it, i only saw it. i'm sure if you do a search on this forum or on google you will find it.
check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371391
i haven't personally tried it but I think it's what you were looking for. i think there was another app out there as well that also did this. try a search.
Yes I know it's an odd question but... it's possible to simply switch off that damned xmas tree of leds?
Yes, I prefere darkness...

Dude, your memory is playing tricks on you. P3300 LEDs were the same as TC.
i don't know. check out those links and see if the software works. i'm not sure what the software's compatibility is with the Cruise, so you might want to read up on that a bit first before trying it. you really would hate to HR your device over some LEDs.
