Omnia Flash Light

dmitt25 · #1 (**permalink**) 02-07-2009, 02:50 PM

Need some help with this one... I was at work yesterday when the batteries on the flash light I use to make adjustments to a machine went dead... I knew that I had a flash light on my phone, but couldn't figure out how I got it to work last time. I ended up not being able to find it in a timely fashion, so I just made the adjustments in the dark

So later I was playing around trying to find that setting again, and I found it. It's apparently set up to be the lower volume button "long"... but holding this button just brings up some (possibly Spb) zoom function?

Long story short, where is the actual "program" to make the flash light turn on, or how can I map this to a button etc...

Thanks in advance!

Don

If you are using SPB mobile shell, it wont work.

There is a cab file that will do it for you, but I can't find it.

I believe it was named torch.cab

You can have your today screen to be Samsung Today 2 and in the Settings tab you can switch on/off Flash light.

I used to have SPB Mobile Shell... but it was too slow for me.
Back when I had it I had a hardware key to get back to the Today screen which allowed me to get to the Samsung Today 2 and turn on/off WiFi and USB mode.

I'm using SPB mobile shell and the flash light works fine. The up volume button is the zoom and the lower volume is the flashlight.

I've attached the file you are talking about. Using this, you can activate the flashlight without having to go to the today screen. This puts an icon in your programs menu called "TorchButton"

I had to hunt this down because I use spbwatcher with mobile shell and still wanted to use the flashlight.

Thanks! Solved my issue with a few clicks! Makes me even gladder I didn't get an iPhone. Now, off to name other items in my house before apple does. Make sure the iOven is off, the iFridge is defrosting, and then go to iBed.
