Sorry if this was already brought up somewhere, but i didnt see it. There is a flashlight app on the Marketplace that somehow utilizes new Mango API's to turn on the LED light on all windows phones. It doesnt even use the flicker trick. its just constant light, and it works perfectly, even on the dell venue pro.

Works just like the old homebrew app. Nice find.
very good man, was waiting for this
many thanks for sharing
awesome, great work!
really good news for us.
Amazing find I was wanting one just the other day and ended having to use one of the lame white screen ones. I am forever in your debt for linking me to this.
I noticed one thing while just trying it out. If you have music on it will mute your music. Doesn't really matter but just something I noticed.

I used to get in the led test section of the EM app when in extreme need. This saves me some time
Thanks! Have been waiting for an app like this forever!
Edit:
i just read the comments in the WP7 General section and have uninstalled this app.

Finally! WP is closing in on all the features I'm missing from Android.
So earlier this day i went to a shop and found the HTC 8X there, i couldnt resist playing with it, so i tested everything possible on it, but found not major, but rather irritating performance hickups. They especialy happened when I started doing some fast scrolling in the home screen and found that the faster i was scrolling the bigger the lag was, especialy when moving to the app drawer, and the bouncy efect when overscrolling. Also when i scrolled really slow in the messages for example, the text didnt go up and down fluid but rather stutered a little, is this only happening on HTC 8X or all WP8 devices? Thank you for answering.
Definitely NOT happening on my Lumia 920. This thing is a freakin rocket!

My Lumia 920 is really smooth. The only time it hiccups is on the lockscreen if I have an app running in the background (MetroRadio tends to do this). I think it's because MetroRadio is a WP7 app and hasn't been updated for WP8 yet.
My htc .8x has no lag issues!

I think you just had a bad model. My HTC 8x (black) is smooth as butter. Only thing I noticed with Beats Audio is that it "lagged" a bit the first time on playback after I chucked the device full of new apps and music, but that was only for a day. I think it was busy caching or something - but no lag or hiccups anywere now.
Hey,
I think I noticed a same lag issue, maybe the thread starter also had a WP before because I think WP 7.x did some scrolling smoother ... For me it only happens when I scroll with my finger put down. There seems to be way too much going on cpu wise when I scroll up and down. As soon as I lift my finger the Lumia 920 turns into a rocket again.
I tried to do a comparison video with my own 920 and my old 800 (which I gave to my girlfriend ^^). The video cannot quite show what the issue is but it is hard to describe it anyways. I still think the thread starter is right and this issue maybe should be reported to MSFT.

bye, Smirny
ok I finally figured out how to reproduce the issue clearly. It seems that scrolling within legacy WP7 apps is not affected by this. So you can try this out for yourself.
1. Go to your homescreen and scroll around a bit while leaving your finger ON the screen.
2. Go to any legacy app and do the same scrolling behaviour. There is a difference between the smoothness of the two!
I recommend for example "Photocasa Galery" because it tries to immitate the homescreen tiles, so you can compare the two even better. (http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/photocasa-gallery/4f2eedf9-09c2-4baa-8ec5-160f0ca5f542)
bye, Smirny
BIG EDIT:
I think I finally found a solution:
Go to your ease of access settings and check whether the magnifier is enabled. I enabled it just for fun, but since I disabled it again this phone is very very smooth again! Hope it also works for you =)
When I first heard about Zoe, I thought that it would simply take a few photos and a 3 second video whenever you take a picture. I also thought that it couldn't be turned off.
That was really putting me off because it would take way too much memory storing Zoe's all the time.
My mind changed, however, when I saw the following video -
It shows that it can be turned on and off at will and it shows a few more of the video editing that can be done natively rather than needing to download a separate app.
What are your thoughts on Zoe? Is it a good integration? Do you think you'll use it a lot? What do you think could be added to Zoe to make it better?
i didn't know Zoe did all of that which was showed in the video. Might be a neat little feature once you get the hang of it
I can see myself using and enjoying Zoe a lot, it's a really interesting and useful software IMO.

I agree, this time, HTC has included a bunch of useful softwares too
I'm only worried about how much storage space will take having all that.
Got to use the device the other day and I must say the Zoe feature does have a wow factor we took a few Zoe snaps and the displayed on a reel and it did look incredibly impressive. I would think the novelty would wear off eventually but im still going for it

Thank you for posting this video. Prior to seeing it, I was rather meh about the HTC One. Now that I see all of the photo editing functions brought on by the HTC Zoe feature, I will definitely be picking this phone up immediately. The three second clip itself I am not too interested in, but all of the abilities to manipulate photographs (sequence/touch-ups/removal) thanks to the additional frames provided by HTC Zoe makes for a wonderful experience to be had.

I'm not too keen on the 3 second clip either but perhaps we will be able to disable that bit but still have all the other useful features which Zoe is packed with. I haven't had a chance to test the One yet so I can't be certain about it yet though.
The sequence and removals will definitely be ideal though because the sequence will be perfect when I'm BMXing (just like it shows in the video) and removals are perfect for pictures being taken in a crowded public place.

From looking through this thread and the stock recovery thread (in development section), dev support really won't be a problem and will likely get root and custom ROMs available fairly quickly.
Anyone really tested this out yet? I know the One is already available in some countries, so hopefully some testers are around

I have a One, and have been taking a few Zoes.
One thing you need to know is that they will eat up space fast. Each Zoe stores 20 full 4MP frames, plus an mp4 video with audio, for a total of about 36MB for each Zoe.
The highlight video is neat but a little buggy. The filter for selecting which photos of an event are to be included doesn't work, so if you only want a subset you have to copy the subset to another event (gee, even more space eaten) as a workaround until HTC fixes it. Besides that, it works well. The songs you can pick are tied to the set of transition effects and filters used, which are matched to the beat of the music. The photos it picks and what order they go in is unfortunately random. No ability for custom songs and transitions yet.
I haven't experimented with the retouches yet, but the potential is pretty impressive for things like Always Smile. I can foresee myself taking Zoes indstead of stills and then only keeping the best frame for a lot of photography applications.
You cannot digital zoom when taking Zoes. It would look really bad anyway though, 4MP is not enough for quality digital zoom - Stills are terrible zoomed.
Thanks for pointing out that highlight selection bug. Thought I was doing something wrong there . Works good as alternative splitting events and selecting the stuff I want to use in a new highlight. Hope htc fixes this in a future update.

I don't know if proximity sensor is immune to water, though.
I like the idea, is the only thing I miss from my last phone.
'Wave to snap' sounds good, you'd have to get the sensitivity just right though.
Perhaps ask the creator of cybershot mod. He'd be the best person, who might know what to do.

Hold then raise = take picture
Hold in Album = return to camera not useful because when you take picture you need to satay in camera

I don't think that we need this, because I using "CONTINUOUS auto focus" mode during preview, so it focusing every moment until you tap to proximity sensor, after tapping IF it is not focused yet, it focusing and taking picture and IF already focused, then taking picture immediately. So focus on hold will not have effect, because it already tries to focus.

Hi Guys, I've just bought a 6T....12 Hrs ago.
I love it, it gave me a real Wow switching it on.
There's just 3 things niggling me.
1. One speaker? Really? One Speaker?
2. The Clock and Weather Widgets, I can't get them lined up on the screen, also the trademark Red digit is not incorporated into the clock widget and both the weather and clock widgets show the date....!!! So side by side they not only don't align they repeat the same data and don't match.
3. Can't hide apps....would be nice to hide a load of stock apps I will never use.
Apart from those 3 gripes, the phone is amazing.
I absolutely love it and am very, very glad to be part of the OnePlus community.

Let me tell you what I've learned since I have gotten mine. I'm not sure about the clock and weather widget. But at far as the single speaker, this phone doesn't need 2. This summer l speaker is loud. And you can hide apps by creating a Locker. I'm not sure yet how to do that but you can Google that, that's where I read about it.

I completely agree with the OP regarding the feeling when using this phone. I had been a long time htc fan but after TMobile stopped carrying it, I was lost because the os experience was severely lacking from the other manufacturers. I'm on jump on demand and I tried fiddling around with lg and Samsung for a little bit but just want satisfied. Finally made the switch to iPhone and was happy for 2 years with apple, however after apple pulled the stunt of increasing prices for subpar upgrade to the iPhone this year, left a bad taste in my mouth and when I saw TMobile will carry the one plus, I decided to jump and give it a shot. It's been a long time since I had the feeling of having the perfect phone and this is coming from someone who tends to change phones every 3 to 4 months due to the freedom provided by JOD. I will be keeping this until the next upgrade from one plus comes out. Plus I got lucky as one of the reps sim unlocked my phone even though I met none of their criteria for unlock in the spirit of Thanksgiving holiday! So a pleasant bonus and now currently waiting for bootloader unlock code for root. The only reason I want to root is due to completely and utterly blocking ads from everything including apps. That is one thing I miss from apple. A lot less ads on the device compared to Android, however that should be resolved soon. This stock os is perfect otherwise! Amazing battery life, extremely fast charging, and buttery smooth! What else can one ask for!

Don't use the clock widget, search through your widgets for one called "OnePlus widget"

Yep, that's the weather widget it's great and has the red digit.
But there is no clock with the red digit.
There is however a setting for the red digit clock for the lockscreen...so somewhere in the phone is a red digit clock widget!!!

I completely agree with the OP regarding the feeling when using this phone. I had been a long time htc fan but after TMobile stopped carrying it, I was lost because the os experience was severely lacking from the other manufacturers. I'm on jump on demand and I tried fiddling around with lg and Samsung for a little bit but just want satisfied. Finally made the switch to iPhone and was happy for 2 years with apple, however after apple pulled the stunt of increasing prices for subpar upgrade to the iPhone this year, left a bad taste in my mouth and when I saw TMobile will carry the one plus, I decided to jump and give it a shot. It's been a long time since I had the feeling of having the perfect phone and this is coming from someone who tends to change phones every 3 to 4 months due to the freedom provided by JOD. I will be keeping this until the next upgrade from one plus comes out. Plus I got lucky as one of the reps sim unlocked my phone even though I met none of their criteria for unlock in the spirit of Thanksgiving holiday! So a pleasant bonus and now currently waiting for bootloader unlock code for root. The only reason I want to root is due to completely and utterly blocking ads from everything including apps.

Yep it's a great phone....very very glad I made the switch from HTC.
Advertisement wise you can use Edge browser with AdBlocker extension. It helps a lot.
I still haven't had one glitch or stall!!!
It's been nothing but super smooth...
Hey look at the widgets I've found...
The red digit is only the 1. Anytime a 1 shows in the temperature or time, it's red.
