Allows you to use flash LEDs as a flashlight.

The camera flash LEDs can be used as a flashlight. To switch the flashlight on or off, open the lens cover, tap on the status area to open status menu and tap on Flashlight applet.

Flashlight applet is visible only if the lens cover is open!

Do not point the flashlight at anyone's eye.

Could not give a high rating because the app is too cumbersome to use. Works great, but an easier way to turn it on is required -- several solutions have already been suggested.

Very cool app, works very well. Is it dangerous for the flash to be on for long? And how long?

The Nokia n95 was not able to keep the led turned on because there was danger of a heat damage. keep it in mind..

Great. Maybe a future upgrade to support videos? Thanks!

This is very handy! However is it possible to have it as a shortcut rather than an option in the status menu. Just for easier and less cumbersome access..just a suggestion!

Thanks for your hard work though!

Would be good to over-ride the camera auto-opening, but works well.

Worked for a few times but then got the same message as Janne. Worked very well to start with - will try it again :)

Pretty useful. I just love the looks on people's faces when someone asks "Anyone have a flashlight?" and I take my phone out.

On a more serious note, I was hoping to use this with recording video in the dark, but I couldn't. Although the alternative of breaking the camera isn't an option either.

I love the idea, but when I open the flash cover then click on the status menu (after closing the camera program) I don't see any applet, I only have the standard ones (battery, alarm,profiles,volume,connections,bluetooth, status)

would a reinstall help ? maybe a restart ? or could be a conflict with something else ?

Also 2nd the suggestions for a shortcut/widget option.

Nice and simple. I hope the next version supports video recording while flashlights on.

Quite handy! Two reqs though. Widget version and coexistence with camera would be nice.

Simple and usefull application. Only one request: disable camera autostart when flashlight is installed.

Wish list: A shortcut icon that turns on the flash immediately (instead or in addition to the menu).

Nice app. But I would also like that starting the camera app isn't needed. Also "It's not the app's fault"

Works great any idea when the led's overheat?

Also I would love to be able to record video with the LED on.

Great! I really needed this app.

Only one issue: It's annoying that the camera app starts and I have to close it first. It's not the app's fault, but it's annoying none the less.

App works just fine here.

"Unable to intialize flashlight. Camera in use by another application." I don't have any other programs runnig and it still gives me the same text everytime I try. Is there any applications that's known to jam the flashlight app? Even reboot didn't work.
