I think this app is pretty handy when I need it (like opening the door in the dark).
May try "momentflash" (I used it on Behold II and hopefully it will work with NS).
don't see why a flashlight app wouldnt work
I bought SwitchPro Widgets, it has a flashlight function, I'll see if it works with the NS, if not, I'll email the developer.
I tried two so far:
nexus one flash: light doesn't turn on
momentflash: it is not supported

doesn't use the flash as a flashlight
droidlight doesn't work either.
Tiny Flashlight + LED
^ I installed that, works great so far on the NS
Installed it and it worked.
Update: TeslaLED also works. The key is to get flashlight for Fascinate or Epic.

Yes it is free and good
Widgetsoid works too but make sure you set the "Flash led" option to "Method 2" in the settings.
Hope this helps.

the flashlight toggle in "extended controls" works great.
Tho the screen lights up aswell. Just use the - Volume to turn the lcd brightness down. 10% is the minimum.
Tiny flashlight+led works on ns4g and oICSv43.

What's up with that!?!? My last few phones all had that feature. Someone please tell me that there is some led that I'm not aware of.

How long have you had your phone?
There is NoLED which you can get from the market or you can run an I9000 Rom that has BLN enabled. From their you can use a couple apps, Blinky or BLN Control. We have options that work really well.

Most ROMs have it included. its called BLN (Back Light Notification). I dont think there is an app for it as i think it needs to be built into the kernel (Though dont quote me on that).

They have to be I9000 roms. Blinky app can work sometimes without BLN enabled on the Rom but it is highly recommended to run a Rom that has BLN.
OP: Just look in the dev section for roms that say BLN enabled. That will be your best bet for the menu lights. Otherwise, NoLED works great and it lights up your screen in small icons.
Is there any way to use camera led as a torch?
I have try with switchpro or extended control but with P990 thet don't work

wow it works, thanks!
I use Flashlight Widget.
The "extended controls" flashlight doesn't work for me neither.
Ops, just a new update for extended controls that it's supposed to fix that.
Trying right now...
Yeah, works nice.
Me also use tiny flashlight......Works very great!
You can also set the widget....very usefull
Hi, is there any alternative widget like those mentioned above that make the LED flashlight work?
THANKS
I don't know of any widgets but I use droid light from the market! It comes in handy all the time
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
Flashlight works with D3 and comes with a widget.
Tesla works pretty well. It takes about half a second for it to turn on but there is a widget(s) you can have to do certain things.

works great.
Thanks for your help guys! Hopefully Switch Pro will be updated. I like it to have all functions in one single widget.
Anyone know if Torch works? or was that only part of CM7?
I can't find it on the market...
I carry a Streamlight ProTac 2L everywhere I go now. I tried using the flashlight apps, screw it. Nothing beats the real thing.

Very small, well made, free, good looking.
I like this one https://market.android.com/details?id=com.colinmcdonough.android.torch
Super simple, light weight and works well on Note.
I prefer the one in quick settings. Easy to get to and works well.

"Quick Settings" is an app in the market. You can have it reside in the notification panel, and open it from there. The top right of the window shows a flashlight icon. That can be either configured for the LED light, or the screen.
Why don't you use the flashlight widget on the phone by default? It has 3 settings and it's really convenient. I use it all the time.
I never seen Flash light widget by default on Note. At least not on my Note, there isn't one in list of Widgets to add by default.
Or is it hidden somewhere?

The one that came with my note is called 'Torch' in my widget list. But I am not using this widget anymore.

I don't know about the Active, but on the regular S4 the LED light from the "hold volume up button" is noticeably dimmer than when you activate it with apps. I'm using the Notification Toggle app from the Play Store to put the LED toggle in the notification panel. It's nearly as convenient as using the volume button and it's brighter without any risk of accidental activation in your pocket.

Yea it does have that option, just not the volume up with the screen off. You have to hold the brightness slider icon in the notification panel to activate it.
Not to be a bother, but I notice it works on some peoples phones and not others. Is there a special thing that needs to be done to get the vol-up for torch working? I know how to get to the secret settings, and they're set for me. It doesn't light up for me . Any advice?
Edit:
I'm running stock rooted with Xposed and Nottach Xposed
Use power toggles from playstore. The best

NottachXposed has both of those options. The volume up function is in the Lockscreen settings. You actually don't need Nottach to access it. It's just a convenient shortcut.

I think you need a deodexed ROM. Didn't work for me until I flashed the Mint Jelly ROM (which I recommend :good.

Alright, i'll give that a try. Not opposed to flashing roms, especially if they remove all this Samsung + ATT bloatware Thanks for your help.
Just an update.
I'm not sure if it was having a deodex rom, or just simply being on Android 4.2.2 (Might be the case). But my light is working now with screen off!
EDIT:
One more thing. Enabling this setting will create a wakelock that'll keep your phone at the lowest mhz you set it to instead of letting it go into deep sleep. It's a nice setting, but at the battery cost... it's something that isn't good enough for me yet. I have a profile setup in tasker for TelsaLED on with a shake on the locked homescreen to try my best and mimic this functionality (I was looking for something that starts up at boot, and flips the LED on from lockscreen). I know there's another flashlight that does this as well, but I ran into the problem of it not booting on startup, where as I use Tasker for other functionality so it starts up 100% of the time. It's not 100% since the LED takes a little to flip on... but it's better than having to unlock.
JUST an FYI to save people the feeling of underwhelming when it starts sapping your battery mercilessly!

thats absolutly not true, i use the feature on nottachs xposed app and my phone goes into DEEP SLEEP using ktz kernel,and there is another mod that u can use called 3 minit but you need framework but that has torch when the lock screen is on by pressing the home button,but i found i would have the light on by accident ,idk how but it would jsut be on with that mod.
3 minit work pretty well you can set it to long press home
Try flashlight led genius from playstore , no root need , you shake it when your on the lockscreen,awesome app

I'm going to stick with what I think then. After I flip on the light.. it never goes back into deep sleep. Try it yourself. I'll take a look at 3 minit
FYI the wakelock it made was PhoneWindowManager.mTorchlightWakeLock
This is a feature in CM10.1. You can add it under lock screen options for long press home button. Absolutely love it.

I think your Android version needs to be 4.2.2 to do the torchlight thing through Nova. I could be wrong though.
Ok another update on this.
Since djmouse wasnt getting any sort of wakelock, I decided to try again getting it working. I enabled it through xposed instead of the nova shortcut.... and for some reason it's letting me go to deep sleep now! ... I also flashed crossbreeder... so that might be the savior. Not sure, but happy to report the wakelock seems to be lifted. I'll report back after a few days if it stays that way.
THanks djmouse for challenging me to try it again!
Using an app called Torchie, just press both 'volume buttons' together to turn on/off torch anytime. It runs as a background service and just works anytime, even when screen off (if enabled from Torchie Settings). It kinda make your phone feel like a conventional battery operated torch. No root required.
