i too would like to try this thing out.

EDIT: Big thanks to Joe for forwarding this to me. Awesome app Chet! You should go to the market with this once you fix the bugs others reported and polish up the GUI, I'd pay for it!

Thanks to the person who forwarded it to me, and thanks chet for this awesome app. Works perfectly and is way brighter than the screen! you...are...awesome.

Watashi · November 19th, 2009, 02:50 AM

One other request chet, can you make the on/off button a bit smaller? I find my fingers slipping sometimes and accidentally turning it on or off.

Just chugged a bunch of nyquil...g'nite.

Hey just found this on my search for a LED-Flashlight for my new Milestone.
Please forward it to me too michael{at}maunsen{dot}de

Thanks very much.

If there are german people around, I've done some review Videos of the german version of the Milestone. You can see them over here: Motorola Milestone: Datenblatt, Meinungen und technische Informationen < youserbase

Again: I would really love to test the Flashlightapp :-)

your classic bro...rofl...sent you a pm requesting to test this app out...

goon55 · November 19th, 2009, 08:43 AM

I paid $4.99 for Pocket Light...and it has "Morse Code" mode:

Download Pocket Light 1.0 for Windows Mobile Smartphone Free Trial - Pocket Light allows you to use the camera flash on your Motorola Q as a flashlight. You can also enter any text and have it sent in morse code via your camera flash light. - Softped

Branndon · November 19th, 2009, 08:51 AM

There is actually a brighter light than what you have it on. You seem to have it on 50% brightness. If you try and take a pic, the autofocus LED light that goes on is way brighter.

If you can have an option for low/high brightness, I think $1.99 at most. I think if you tried it at $.99 you'd sell more.. Quantity is the thing with a market this large and so many free apps available.

NickRo · November 19th, 2009, 08:57 AM

I was just searching for a flashlight app. If you still need help with the testing, my email is nicholas.rouwhorst@gmail.com thanks. Looking forward to a good app like this.

colnago · November 19th, 2009, 09:00 AM

- Free a"s is"
- $0.99 with smaller on/off button and auto turn off
- $1.99 with smaller on/off, auto turn-off, and adjustable interval auto turn off.

estobaughn · November 19th, 2009, 09:07 AM

virtus · November 19th, 2009, 09:09 AM

I would be interested in testing too:

mail
at
northstarce
dot
com

Do other camera apps turn the LED off?
Will the LED stay on if you start the camera app and record video?
Can you turn the LED while using shopsavvy?
Also, I would like to test the battery drain while using the LED.

I like the Morse code feature. My previous phone had an app (nueLight) that did that.

How about adding an option to periodically flash the LED like a beacon or warning light?

smed1275 · November 19th, 2009, 09:22 AM

I would also love to try this app out please. It's exactly what I've been looking for. If it works I will definitely donate. Thanks,

Chet · November 19th, 2009, 10:49 AM

OK, It is on the market at the low price of $0.99

It is under Tools and is called LED Flashlight.

Please go and post (good) reviews.

I reduced the button size and will be upgrading to lock the portrait orientation soon.

Thanks,

Don't know yet, will have to do some more digging.

oceanlight · November 19th, 2009, 11:02 AM

grats man!

a couple questions...

1.) what kind of battery usage are we talking here? how long do you think you could leave the light on? not that i would leave it on for hours. just curious.

2.) is there any danger of burning out the bulbs? i mean they are led so i doubt it. but since they were intended to be on for fractions of a second at a time, i wonder if keeping them on for a lot longer would do any harm...

thanks!

Good questions. I'm sure we will be getting more information on battery usage soon. I would not expect any damage to the LEDs, but can not guarantee.

aaron5610 · November 19th, 2009, 11:12 AM

I just bought it and it works awesome! My comment is Aaron and I wrote you a great comment with 5 stars its a must have. Great job!

Lafond · November 19th, 2009, 11:15 AM

Just picked up this app also. Seems to work great! Would definately like to see a brightness control as others posted, but is way better than the screen ones. Thanks!

baka · November 19th, 2009, 11:21 AM

thanks! and just so you know.... this is probably one of the most useful apps on the market as far as tools go. so many times it will come in handy. and its by far better than any screen flashlight on any phone.

great work

cflow · November 19th, 2009, 11:31 AM

first paid app for me. thanks for all the hard work!
