Camera flash mod??? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was messing around on my brothers iPhone earlier, and I saw that when someone calls or texts him his camera flash strobes a few times. I was wondering if there was a mod out there that did that, or if a dev could cook one up.

umm... if you haven't noticed...
whenever someone calls/text/emails/whatever, there's a little LED green light that flashes at the front, just to top left of the mytouch logo.....
so no need for that.

Yeah I know that but I just thought it would be cool to have that

The flash LED isn't physically locked to the camera since it can be turned on with the 900 flashlight apps available.
Therefore, it's got to be possible to have an incoming call or text trigger the light to go on.
I couldn't code a simple math problem myself, so I have no idea how you'd do such a thing. But I know it's possible.

Just go into google market and search flashlight alerts. There are several apps that do just what you want.

How do you change the LED Color?

In the settings you can change which applications can activate the LED, but I don't see a way to change the color. Anyone know how to change the LED color?

What makes you assume that you can change it?

More than likely the LED can display more colors, like the N1.

IMO the LED are only designed to produce 3 colors

I tried an app that tests this, it got the LED started but it only stays on green... I think it is safe to say that it only has about 2 colours and cannot be customized by an app... However this app was built for N1 and Milestone, so it could might just be not working right on MT4G
I used Handcent on the Droid X and it allows customizing the LED colors. I just tried Handcent on my MT4G and though the option is there for customizing the colors it doesn't respond to a key press so I assume it's disabled on this phone. You can still tweak vibration patterns and tones as well as different notification icons for different persons.
Yeah I tested out some apps and I could only get it to display green. Hopefully it can display other hex values so someone can develop that feature for us.

LED display with three basic color
I am bruce from one led display company, according to my idea that you can try to change the electronic current for it , then it can change the brightness for red,blue,green lights.
Because the white color is made of three basic color: 3:6:1 in red,green,blue.
If you need more details , please inform me .
bruce
It acts like the LED on the G1 did, i did some hacking when i used to have one, and through terminal could change its color, If i get the time, i'll see what i can come up with-
Nick
if you need any support, I can talk to our engineers to help you , if you are good at the electronics, we can introduce the IC for your reference to controll the bnrightness of led display
LED colors
If you are looking for different colors for your LED.....there is an app in the market called "noLED" that allows you to use LED icons that pop up on your screen each time you get a text, email, missed call, etc. Give it a whirl, I really like it!!!!!!

NoLED=battery killer
Used it on ny Captivate because there was no notification LED. No reason to use it on the MT4G
Please post questions in Q&A section.
4G LED - color capable?
My My Touch 3G used to be able to do Green, Red, Blue, Orange, etc...I use Nitrodesk Touchdown and could have my email flash blue, appointments flash red, and Handcent SMS flash orange, therefore could simply look at the flashing LED to determine if it was email, sms, or appt. Did the 4G get designed to only flash orange and green, or is the ROM able to make tweaks to get more color out of the LED? I am able to have handcent flash orange and it works, but everything else simply flashes green no matter what you set it.
If you're running cm7 you can change them under cyanogen settings. You can have the led blink a different color for different app notifications too.

so after doing some research it turns out that our phones wont blink for more than 2 or 3 mins(cant seem to find the correct length of time)...people have suggested to use missed call apps or LED notification apps off the market
i havent tried any of those but you may want to check out some and see if they help

Mms comes as a slideshow

I know I've seen this discussed before but I can't find it. Pictures always come as a slideshow instead of just a picture. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to change that, or if I can. Anyone have any input? Thanks
I thought that was just the way it worked on this phone. You mean you can have pictures just display as pictures? tell me more!
Heh. Seems random on mine. Sometimes they come as a slideshow and sometimes as just a picture. Maybe it has to do with the phone or carrier it comes from? No idea.

i've got a friend that sends me pics from her iPhone, and from her specifically, they sometimes come as one, sometimes the other.
might have to do with filesize?

Since we are on this topic, why do long texts get split up, I was on tmobile and it never did that, I figured it is network related

CDMA (Sprint and Verizon) has a 160-character limit. T-Mobile and AT&T are GSM.
Well, from reading, everyone has a 160-character limit, but many GSM phones just allow you keep writing and it'll split them into separate 160-character messages on the receiving handset. Many phones now just split it automatically, regardless of network, such as our EVOs.
I'm not really all that well-versed on these technologies. Just a stab in the dark here!
Makes sense, I don't know much about either

On CyanogenMod, if someone sends me a single image, it just comes as a picture. I click it, it opens, and I can look at it until I'm done. Which is nice, because I don't have to try to soak it all in in 5 seconds before the one-slide slide show ends! But if someone sends me multiple images at once it is still a slideshow.
That makes sense, maybe ill try a different ron, I've been lookin at vaelpak's latest.

Is anyone else starting to experience touchscreen issues?

I'm noticing sometimes I have to lock and unlock the phone to get the touch screen to respond, although if I press a little firmer it usually registers.
I'm currently running cm7 and have not returned to stock to test. My next step is a full fastboot wipe and reflash cm7 to see if it goes away and if that doesn't fix it then I'll return to stock with S-ON and the whole 9 yards.
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this?

Yes, but I only notice it while typing. Most often my delete key becomes nonfunctional, as well as other letters like O and several other vowels. VERY ANNOYING. It's happened to me on every ROM except Royal Ginger for some reason. So I'm baffled. Here comes yet ANOTHER call from T-Mobile for another warranty exchange.
I hate this phone.
This is starting to sound like the next big issue for the MT4G. First bad displays, then loud buttons, then backlight leakage, then off-centered cameras, then bad eMMC chips, and now unresponsive touchscreens. This is incredible. I've never heard of any single electronics device model with so many problems. HTC really screwed up with the MT4G. I wonder if it has something to do with T-Mobile being considered the "budget" national carrier when compared to the other big three.

Yeah, but I guess HTC does have a bad track record for their quality control. All the more reason I want a Samsung, seems like they don't have much trouble with hardware defects, just software.

My keyboard does not vibrate so that's not my issue, but nice catch.
On a hunch I switched to HTC IME mod and so far the problem hasn't resurfaced.
I'm thinking its the keyboard, maybe just have to clear data for android keyboard in apps settings?
If anyone wants a link to jonasl's HTC IME mod keyboard, let me know.

I'm having this same exact problem. I thought it was only me. The backspace key just randomly stops working. And the same with the O key. And I thought I got one of the good phones :/.

I think this is software based. I prefer the Android Keyboard found in the market... on some roms it works PERFECT! On others, the whole top row of keys just craps out. I need to hit the character I want three or four times to get it to go. Yet on those same roms, stock keyboard, or ?Better keyboard 8 work flawlessly.

[Q] Read LED Notifications

Hi all. I have been doing some searching around for a way to get the rear LED to light up in any way shape or form for apps, specifically SMS.
Has anyone found a way to get it on AT ALL using apps like Light Flow or Light Manager? Stock or a custom ROM? If you have gotten it on in anyway at all, please let me know! (And how you did it please)
I spent some time emailing with the LightFlow dev last night too, and he is interested in getting control over it too. So anything to get it on is great.
Thanks everyone!

Just tried, same results.
I have it half on with this app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1958939
Working on full access. Ill keep everyone updated.
To use that app install it and enable it in accessibility. Then open the app and go to auto locate. Choose your LED here. "button-backlight1" is for the left, "button-backlight2" is for the right. It will probably just show you up to the word "button: though. But it appears twice, once on the left of the screen, once on the right. Choose either side. And that's it. It will flash when you get a notification.
Light flow works for me rooted on stock Rom. ...you have to enable it in settings then enable it in the setting for the specific notification You want. .. but now blink or pulse. ....tell the light flow dev to add this option to his app

I sent him an email about this a few minutes ago. But light flow also only lights up half of the ring, the right side to be specific. If you use the app I linked above you can get either half (left or right) working and it blinks!
Ill let you know any updates I get, but at least it is half blinking now!
Worked some more with the light flow dev. We have gotten the FULL led ring to light up! It is currently solid. Ill post more as it develops.
In the meantime here is a picture of my device, using lightflow, when I receive an SMS. Enjoy for now!
