you can also set one of your convenience keys to the camcorder application, and have it set to have the light always on.
so when you press that button, instant bright flash light!!!
it works great on any blackberry with the camcorder application!
p.s. it realllllllllllllly drains the battery
p.s.s. if you have a storm, the light will go off for a second when you switch from landscape to portrait mode, so keep it study and upright
Yeah using the led on the camera is brighter, but you can almost sit there and watch the battery drop before your eyes.

No problem. What do you do for a living, if you don't mind me asking? I'm going to school right now, looking to do something with networks when I get out. I'm not 100% sure what I want to do though at this point.
As I mentioned in the other thread, I think there could be a small button (or menu option) that says "mirror" which blacks out the screen. Just seems like the logical app for it.
No problem. OTA (over the air) is a .jad file. Anytime you see a .jad file it means you're supposed to click on the link using your storm.

Hmm, you could just wait for your screen to timeout. If you have your phone set to 10 second timeout then it's no problem.

True, as stated in the thread though it kills your battery very rapidly. This app is for someone who just needs to see around for a little bit, but would like to keep their battery intact.
Why use a flashlight app? Just use the video recorder. Used it when I had to jump my car in the dark last night and the flash stayed on.
Once again....Although you can use the video camera led by opening up the camera, it's not recommended because it drains your battery so bad.

I tried redown loading a few times and a couple of battery pull. also try setting permissons and compatibility mode still no go
You're not doing anything wrong that's exactly what it's supposed to do. I can't controll the camera led, RIM wont let programmers touch the led light. When your screen is all white and at 100% brightness you can use the screen as a flashlight.
The light (flashlight) is a small free app that uses your led can be found in appworld. Just download and hit the icon it brings the led light on and when done you just press escape or end key. You don't have to mess w you video settings either just download and go!!!! oh and its free
