On every rom I have used, when I'm outside in a pitch black situation and I need my flashlight on my phone. When I leave it on for more than 60 seconds, the phone automatically restarts. I suppose because the LED gets too hot? This is on Torch bright widget or widgetsoid flashlight using method 2 for led. However I'm fairly sure that using heart rate monitor app in the market the phone can stay on with the flashlight for more than 60 seconds. I'm going to test this now. This is weird since my HTC HD2 could leave the led flashlight on for hours if I wanted. Well I never had it on for more than say 20 minutes but it worked and the phone never restarted. Any help would be great, thanks!
By the way this happens on all roms including with all kernels and all radios.
I wouldn't leave it on for more than 10 seconds at a time. That is just plain stupid.
Damn I hate useless replies!

Ok try this out. You're going to burn out your LED and the reason it restarts is from the heat. When you take a pic in your camera app does the LED flash for 60 seconds? um no.... you need a flashlight? Get those small LED keychain ones.. how's that for useful? Use your head....
And tour HD2 does not have a Tegra 2 in it so perhaps why that one does not overheat. Either way you'll kill the LED. They aren't designed to be used like that.
I have the exact same problem on CM7 - was fine on my HD2 for a very long time too
At times I find myself needing a flashlight for a minute or 2 at times. The HD2's LED never overheated unless you left in death ray mode but I'm not sure since I can't remember ever having a problem ever. Just use regular brightness at a reduced continuous voltage therefore reducing heat production. That's not stupid to need my f*ing phone as a flashlight for a couple minutes when needed. LED's are very efficient and can take a hell of a beating, however they're efficient in nature so leaving it on may reduce it's life sure. But has anyone reported their cell phone led light going out? I have never heard of it so stop posting stupid idiotic comments. Posting dumb offensive comments makes you look stupid. You could respond with an intelligent response unleashing to the world your hidden genius. Instead you decide to do what you do best.
If anyone who may be having the same problem. I have found a solution to the problem. Downloading instant heart rate monitor will allow the light to stay on forever with no problems.

Noted and thought about. Wouldn't change my answer.
First of all you don't have to be a flamer, second....you have no clue what your talking about. The led light is led ...led lights put out insanely low amounts of heat...which is why that technology has been incorporated into growing plants...not that it's good ti leave the led on for too long but I have uses the led flashlight for about 30 minutes before on my ATRIX, ya it gets a little warm but that's it. Yes it's possible to burn it out over time but you will be fine for short durations. Why do you think there are so many flashlight apps, if they really caused that much damage google would remove those apps from the market.
And im not talking out if my ass because I know quite a bit on the topic of led technology.
The possible reason for your phone rebooting is because a lot of the flashlight apps out there aren't compatable with the ATRIX for some reason, don't ask me why. You need to download "droidlight" from the market because it was developed for Motorola phones by Motorola ...then I doubt you will be rebooting
But please don't talk like your an expert on the subject and give false information to people because it just adds to confusion for those that don't know. Im no expert on everything so I don't chime in on things I don't know about. Cheers

Tiny flashlight +led works great. Has a good widget as well. Don't recall having a timeout. Accidentally turned it on and fell asleep for hour. Woke up to a dead battery and a brown spot on the coffee table lol. Led was still kicking an hour later. I use mine all the time.

Its more than likely the app, I have the same problem using Tesla led + widget locker + cm7. Disregard about damaging your LEDs, as long as the proper voltage is applied... they will never burn out... if its getting HOT(not warm) then I would be worried. LED lights do have a "lifespan" but generally exceed it, tremendously.

I mean I don't really know anything about it, but if my LED light is on (for a flashlight) it get's noticeably hot within like 10 seconds...
I haven't quite had the same problem as the OP, but I was using TeslaLED with Widgetsoid (had a flashlight toggle in my rotary slider). I turned the screen on, and without unlocking used the flashlight like normal a few days ago, and had it on for 10+ seconds (after 10, my screen timed out like normal). I went to turn the screen on again though, and my entire phone froze - with the LED still on! I had to remove the battery...
I dunno all the technicalities of the LED, nor do I know if this was a freak accident and won't happen again (hopefully!). Might be a problem with TeslaLED/Widgetsoid, or maybe the screen shouldn't go off when the LED is on?
EDIT: Weird, I just tried it out again for fun, and it did in fact freeze my phone again lol. It did the exact same thing: turn on screen, turn on flashlight, use for like 10 seconds. Screen times out, flashlight flickers. Turn screen on, looks normal, but try to turn flashlight off, feel slight haptic feedback then froze.
Being an electrician by trade, I also specialize in luminaire devices, and tend to push LED devices over traditional flourescent, incandescent, halogen & HPS/MH lamps, for various reasons & applications. In fact LEDs last longer than the auxiliary components driving them .. which is why the still have a rated life span, many suppliers guarantee 12,000+ hours.

I don't know about everyone else but my led starts getting hot after only having it on for ~10 seconds. I try not to leave it on because of the heat. But yah I do leave it on for more than a minute all the time so it was probably the specific app causing a rare OS bug that caused it to crash.

@Krumb
Thanks for the link.
But the discussion stopped in April, pre-froyo.
Now that G has enabled Led-on Video recording in Froyo, I am curious to know if any one faced issues while using it for prolonged night time video recording.
I personally used it for a max of 5 minutes continuously, for video recording as well as for use as torch, faced no issues.
I think the light is fine with 'normal' brightness for extended use, but not the ultra-bright setting.
LED light has "lifetime" - which is, it's built to last X hours on average.
Each time you turn it on, you take Y seconds out of its lifetime.
By analogy, each day you live, you're 1 day closer to death. You don't stop living to avoid death, do you?
Yes, the LED will die one day if you use it. If you're not unlucky, it'll be way after your phone turned to a piece of junk. If you're unlucky - it can die the next time you turn it on. Pure statistics of semiconductors, can't predict it.
just wondering what type of leds are used on the evo,

Short answer, unless HTC is running damaging levels of voltage through the LED and you have the flashlight on constantly you have nothing to worry about. Even if you run it 24/7 the low end estimate for most LED's is 2.8 years.

That may be the case for average LEDs, but high powered LEDs need proper heat dissipation setups. Philips Lumiled K2 LEDs have 1W versions that will burn up without a proper heatsink.
But since HTC released this as a stock app, I'm sure it's fine. I do prefer the "LED Light" widget over HTC's app.

Light widget is nice for quick turn on/off, but I hear it causes a wake lock and besides, the HTC one has more features (3 brightness modes, SOS, and blinking) and it turns on when you first press the app icon. Just hit back and you turn off the flashlight. I guess you can't leave it and use another app while its on like you can with the widget, but what are you doing using a flashlight while texting? lol. Anyways, if it wasn't for the wake lock, I'd still keep the widget around, just in case.
1 watt leds last 4.5 years with avg use of 8 hrs a day. So I'm sure these are even less and should last much longer.

The LED on my htc ppc-6800 burned out from occasional flashlight usage. Maybe a couple hours of total combined use over a year long period. Just some anecdotal evidence to throw in the mix...

It doesn't matter how long they last when they are attached to a proper heatsink as mentioned already in this thread.
The LED's in the camera flash are capable of being driven hard, but are intended only to do so for short periods (when the camera fires it's flash). There is at least one application out there that allows you to put and hold the LED's at that power level, and if used for extended periods at that high level the potential of overheating and destroying the SMD's is there.
I am sure that HTC has determined the maximum thermal dissipation of the SMDs and built their flashlight application around that, knowing that users will be tempted to use the application for longer lengths of time.
I was looking around some of the battery stats and it came to my attention that some sensors seem to be operating alot of the time. I figure this has alot to do with the standby power consumption ive been experiencing with CM7.
The point is, i cant find any way to control sensor behaviour to test this out. Is anyone aware of any app or script which helps with this? Because i have not been able to find any.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
seriously? nothing?
im sure someone can come up with something
What sensors are you talking about?
Im not sure, but when i go in spare parts and look as sensor usage it says android system has been using sensors for 3 and something hours and the same goes for dialer and gallery.
whats for sure is that my screen hasnt even been on for half that long, so what im thinking is some of the sensors must be collecting data while the phone is supposed to be sleeping and that should account for some of the phone idle battery usage.
my idea is to turn off all the sensors (which i dont use anyway except for maybe the proximity one during calls) and see how it affects battery usage.
however i have yet to find a way to manipulate or turn off any of the sensors on this phone.
If you disable screen rotation, that will probably shut down the accelerometer/orientation sensor.

that one is pretty obvious and while i doubt that will turn off the sensor (might just tell the device to ignore its readings but it doesn't mean the sensor is shut down) there are still 5-6 more sensors running on this device and what im looking for is a way to shut them down on the hardware level. i figure this is kernel-related but still this can't be the first time anyone has brought this up.
Then delete /system/lib/hw/sensors.olympus.so, that will disable them all, they won't even be initialized
Not sure if your phone will like it though, nandroid backup first

currently in the army so i cant say i'm in an environment to be getting my phone into boot loops but do you figure there is a more friendly way to edit that file rather then deleting it?
There's no source for the sensors library, so unless someone wants to disassemble it and rewrite from scratch, no.
and you dont figure that will be something worth looking into in the great journy towards great battery life?
Sorry for hijacking this but how do you enable the the spare parts app?

Not much help, but to confirm your findings, if the proximity sensor is on, a little red light appears. Look out for it. If it is always on, you have a problem.

True. However running elixir i see that this phone has 8 sensors in total. It also claims that some of them use between 6 to 8 mA while in use. Cant really say what that means battery wise or even if its correct but i still think its worth looking into
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Any sensor in particular you are concerned about?
If im trusting elixir.. the magnetometor, rotation vector and orientation are what we should be concernef about. It claims the rest use negligible amounts but i dont know if we can believe that (says light sensor uses no power at all which i find a little hard to believe)

8 mA draw would kill your battery after 9-10 days. Not a very significant drain...

Hmmm. The 3-axis geomagnetic sensor in the atrix, the AK8975/B has a
consumption of
- 3-axis magnetism measurement (ave.): 350μA (typ.) at 8 Hz repetition rate
-Power-down: 3 μA (typ.)
That is 0.00035A if it is constantly pooling at 8x a second!
The accelerometer in the atrix is the KXTF9 series and assuming the atrix has the most power hungry version, the KXTF9-2050, it can only draw a maximum of 940μA and typically draws a current of 840μA. It's standby current draw is 0.1μA or 0.0000001A and at that rating, our 1930 mAh battery can keep it in standby for about 2 million years!
In short, the sensors don't draw alot of power, despite what the apps say, it the people who made those sensors say they cannot exceed such a current draw, that's that. You might want to look at apps who are actually requesting the data from the sensors, and not the sensors themselves.
Well then like i said the programs which seem to be using the data are noted as android services, dialer and gallery. So i dont know if theres much you can do about that....

Well then according to your calculations: if thats one sensor theb that means 3 sensors would kill the battery in 3 days. Which ofcourse means they would use about a third of the battery in one day.

After a fair search I am still yet to find an answer to my question. With the ever increasing amount of fantastic tasks our smartphones can achieve for us nowadays I find it hard to believe that if I turn my device off I am unable to get alarms or notifications.
I have used several Android Roms on my HD2 & yet to find one that is able to achieve this, which leads me to believe its a across the board Android "thing"?
Its not an overly important thing but I just find it quite odd that my ancient Sony Ericsson & Nokia handsets are able to do this even tho their nearly antiques.
If anyone has anyone has any ideas or solutions please reply.
Many thanks.
I have never came across or heard of a phone or app that was designed to turn on the phone simply to retrieve a notification. I (think) i have heard of an app that if your phone is stolen it can turn it on the device if its been turned off but i have not heard of this feature to be used to gather your notifications. What model phones do you say have this feature?
I don't recall the name of the Nokia I had but the Sony Ericsson was a k550i to be honest I don't think it was able to turn on automatically for notifications, but it was able to for say a alarm to wake me in the mornings. As I said it's pretty unimportant really but quite funny nonetheless with today's technological advances.
Why the heck would this even be beneficial? The only way this is possible is if the device stays awake and doesnt fully power down. Plus it would take its own OS in order to do this as the original OS takes a few minutes to load.. This is really stupid and i cant see how anyone wants this.. Just put your device in standby sheesh. -.-
I'm very sorry for my stupidity but I don't see how it is beneficial to try belittling people either? It was merely a question, as I pointed out unimportant but also quite strange how an older device has an auto on option for alarms. If you don't have anything constructive to add? I wish you all the best.
Older phones had volatile memory, and so when turned off they were actually in a low power state.
if you left them 'turned off' for long enough, the battery would be flat and the rom would be back to factory conditions, all data wiped.
the upside was that this low power state meant they were able to monitor for alarms and wake up as necessary.
With non-volatile nand chips, this low power state is no longer needed, and when our hd2 is off, it is really off, so no power to monitor for alarms,

Im sorry i didnt mean to "belittle" anyone or sound mean, harsh, it just felt in your OP that you were bashing the android devs and android in general.. But i seriously dont see a point to having notifs during off stage considering in standby you have a power drain of 1~10ma which is nothing. Again i appoligize for any "belittlement" i caused.
No offence taken or meant at all. I certainly wasn't bashing anyone's work if fact without being a brown noser I have nothing but thanks and praise for the magnificent work the developers have put into not only Android but the whole XDA community.
And also thanks too for your reply regarding the question I thought it must have something to do with a standby like state in the device, I'm happy to leave my phone on to receive my alarms and notifications. I guess I should stop whining and just get an alarm clock lol!

I'm desperately trying to find the code to stop these. The auto screen dimming and low battery warnings drive me crazy (the screen dimming in particular. It makes it SO dim it effectively makes the phone in the last five percent completely useless.) If I find a way to disable it in the system, I'll let you know. Till then, I use an app called adjbrightness to force the screen back up to useable brightness when it dims at low battery. (And before any of you who misunderstand what we're talking about responds, the screen dimming that occurs at the last five percent is not the "power saving" feature turning on. We've obviously completely disabled that in the settings. It dims anyway.)

I actually searched and found this one and responded to an old post. funny huh? now, perhaps with all that time you wasted carefully constructing your cute little response, perhaps you might be able to offer up something that is a bit more constructive and helpful? Thank you in advance. fykmamfcs
Sweet! Now I know how to disable the screen dimming when the battery gets to 5% - oh wait, I still don't know? Does anybody know?

You do know that letting Li-Ion batteries fall below about 15-20% on a regular basis will significantly reduce their lifespan and ability to hold a full charge.

I did not know this. I thought it was better to fully discharge before charging again?
I used this app, works great for me:

^That Root Dim app kicks ass, great app and a fair solutions. Bummer we have to work around but hey it works. I have a zerolemon and 5% is good for quite a long time, that dimmer made the phone useless in direct sunlight. screwed me over a few times..
thanks for the tip

20%, 5%, 1%, it really doesn't matter.
Your phone screams "0%" and shuts itself down when the battery hits about 3V. The battery protection circuit only kicks in at 2.5V. When your phone switches itself off you can safely leave the battery "empty" for at least a year or two before it self-discharges beyond repair.
All those "keep your battery above x %" superstitions are in the same boat as the long debunked "deleting batterystats.bin calibrates your battery" myth.
well this conversation has been highly entertaining and shows the deep divide between "leave your battery to run out" or "don't let your battery completely run out" either way how one manages their battery is their business ?
About the warning sound on older devices:
1) rooted android
2) replace system/media/audio/ui/LowBattery.ogg with a still ogg file.
I hope it will help
