Flashlight apps - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

None of the flashlight apps I have tried, or used in the past seen to be working on the n3. I get a quick flash of light then nothing. I tried a strobe app and that works just fine, just the constant light doesn't. Any ideas?
Edit: reboot just fixed the problem

Only way I've found is to use the assistive light widget.
Edit: that widget comes pre-installed btw

Just tried again and now I don't even get a flash. I tried the camera flash and that doesn't work either. Maybe my flash is burned out? Is there another way to test it?

I was using Zeus flashlight and had no problem. But I uninstalled it after finding the assistive light widget like jpjj225

iv always used galaxy torch widget on my note 2. but now that iv found the assistive light i litterally just uninstalled it galaxy torch. lol, its on the 2nd page of widgets if you cant find it.

It could just be my eyes but i find that Tiny Flashlight is brighter than the assistive light widget. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devuni.flashlight&hl=en

Are you talking about the ugly assistive light widget??

I use the flashlight that is included with the Smart Tools app that I use. It has a nice little widget also.

here is the original version of the wallpaper.
See what I mean about color skew? It is completely wrong. It displays perfectly fine on my device. but after I do a screen capture, it shows the resulting image as ... this. I don't even know how to describe it except to say that the whole image is color shifted.
Any suggestions? I've used both ShootMe and DropCap.
I have the same issue - would like to find out if there is a way to fix it.
I had the same issue with both screen capture app's, ShootMe and DropCap2,
but found a work around, using the free MyPhoneExplorer app,
there is an option to capture the screen from the PC, while connecting to the streak,
by going to menu, click on Extras, then click on ''Load screenshot'',
hope someone would find a better app to take a screenshot from the streak though,
Use screenshot app, works fine

screenshot works perfectly.
I wonder why it works and the others don't ...
Thanks for the tip.

Lg features for custom ROMs

I'm contemplating flashing a ROM, but I was wondering, do they still have the lg features, like knockon and the quick remote?

I got the latest CM11 Nightly and knock-on works, knock-off doesn't. This can be fixed with nova launcher and screen off and lock though.
The IR remote isn't included in the nightlies but it can be downloaded as a flashable .zip file, I haven't got around installing it yet though.
Where did you find quick remote?

I'm using Paranoid Android and Quick remote works fine.
As for knock off that doesnt work, Knock on does. I worked around and got my own kind of Knock off.
What I did was I installed Desktop VisualiZer, Screen off and Lock, and a transparent image.
Add a Desktop VisualiZer widget where ever you'd like, Select the Transparent image as the icon, select the Screen off app (not the Screen Off and Lock config app) as the 'Action', and last remove the name for the widget. and you're done!
Here is where I have my 'Knock off' shortcut. I just double tap (or one tap) and the screen will turn off

Note 3 - Cynagonmod 11 - S-View?

Hey guys,
I was wondering if there is a better app than S-View lite that doesn't use the proximity sensor as any app that uses the proximity sensor always activates S-View when I go to drag the notifications.
Does anyone know of an app that can do that?
Thank you!

Hall Monitor. It works reasonably well on CM11:

Furthermore, it looks like some CM developers are currently working on it:

Hi there,
I don't personally use an S-View cover, but on Temasek there's an option for Smart Cover wake.

Hey guys,
Thanks for the answers. I tried hallmonitor and it seems to be working well. Isn't particularly pretty but it does the job. If anyone else has any more suggestions I'd always like to hear them.
Thanks!

Screen off, intermittently flashing LED? o.O

Hello guys. Which sensors are on the front of telephone? I was taking pictures for a guy who asked me the photos of the phone, so i took a couple of it with the second display off/on, and I noticed that there is a small LED that flashes intermittently when the phone is switched off the screen and some time when is on, below the front camera ... to the naked eye you do not notice it, in fact i have never seen, but if using a camera you see this LED that blinks continuously. With the phone turned on does not do it, only when it is switched off ...
It is not any reflection, I used two cameras and from different angles you see the same LED always flashing in the usual place ...
Does anyone know if it is normal this thing ??? Thanks

It's the proximity sensor.

But it should not go ON only for calls?

Nope, that behavior is completely normal.
The proximity sensor is also used to prevent the use of the power button and the fingerprint scanner when the is zero light. Personally this annoys me since I came from a Nexus 5X, and unlocking the phone in my pocket gives a feel of a faster unlock.
Great, thank you all for the answers. I was already worried lol
However Note 5 did not do it ... meh!
Thanks again!

[APP][6.0+] Dorch - Dual Torch for devices with both Front and Back flash

Dorch - Dual Torch​Its been a while that some newer devices devices now have both Front and Back flash for capturing photos so there but be an app for toggling both of them as torch.​
Background:
I recently bought Moto Z Play that had both front and back flashlight but i couldn't find an App that can toggles both of them at same time in store (or maybe I am bad at searching), so I developed one.
Its just a clean simple app that serves the purpose of flashlight toggling and nothing else.​
Screenshots:
Note:
I have found that the app is not working same for every device. Some devices are allowing only one flashlight to turn on at a time. I will update the app with fix as soon as I found a workaround. Till then, you can use app for separately turning on each flashlight if its not allowing both for your device.
Download:
Hi. I just installed this, it does not work on my z2 play from verizon. when one torch is on, the other won't turn on even if the button is toggled on. You can't turn both torches on.

I will look into it and update it with the fix as soon as possible.
Thanks for reporting the issue.
Can you make it so that we can set the two torch as a notification so we don't have to click on the app? Can easily switch by opening the notification panel? Thanks!
