So after over two years of using my storm's video camera as a flash light, CB had a post about an awesome flashlight app called e-office flashlight. Believe me, that flashlight app is the best availabe, hands down. It uses the camera flash, but doesn't show the camera viewfinder screen, doesn't turn off when you change orientation, and is really just a nice and simple interface.
The trouble came in when I got the 9850, which I love, and couldn't install that app or download it from anywhere because the 9850 isn't listed as a compatible device.
In my mission to make sure the 9850 Forum perpetuates the expanding knowledge of the awesomeness of this phone, I'm posting a solution for this light. After doing that, the app will work as expected. Same beautifully simple interface, same great functionality.
I'm am attaching a link to the .cod file for the app. All you need to do is download the .cod file and install it to your 9850 using the "Install COD" function via bbsak (link to their site below).
I downloaded this app for my Storm I a while back and it never worked. When I bought my 9850, I transfered my apps over and the e-office flashlight now works great.
Try using your camera after using the flashlight app.
I used e-office flashlight for 30 seconds, then closed it and went immediately to camera. Took two photos (auto flash on), both were fine. Are you having issues?
