I was hoping to find a Flash light app similar to the flash light on my HTC Desire HD for the Prime does anyone know of any that do work?
This is the one that's on my HTC but unfortunately it doesn't work on the Prime
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.terrynow.flashlight&feature=search_result
Also would be interested in discussing any other useful apps that others have found that work well on the Prime.
Edit: I found this flash light widget that does work on the Prime https://market.android.com/details?id=tw.abgne.flashlight&hl=en&rdid=tw.abgne.flashlight&rdot=1
Would be good to find one that looks like the HTC one.

My favorite is splashtop remote HD. The tab is nice and powerful but always nice to be able to shift the i5 into gear for the heavy lifting.

wrong thread?
have you tried the torch app (attached)? works as a good replacement for teh htc one on my inspire
wouldn't a torch or led flashlight app end up burning out the flash alot faster on the cam? You do know the built in video recorder has a torch mode also.

Normally the led in your phone, tablet, or any other devices will often outlive the device itself... leds are pretty hearty little guys.. I wouldn't be too worried about the flash if I were you

No, he's in the right thread. The thread topic is Handy Apps. OP just made it strictly about the flashlight.

+1 on splashtop. Have a virtual desktop running on a server for heavy tasks. When outside of my network, i go through an SSH tunnel using connectbot.
I'm the developer of https://market.android.com/details?id=droid.pr.coolflashlightfree, and anyone confirm if this app works on prime? I don't own one so I can't test it
Thanks
I use Tesla LED. its hasnt failed on me yet, no crashes. Light goes on/off when i press the button.

I use "search light" as flash light. It is lightweight, no ads, the view finder is great, especially for phones.

Sorta works. The screen flashy business is fine, but when I turned on the LED (which took me a few moments to figure out) I couldnt turn it off. Had to kill the app in the task manager to get the led to turn off.
Also, app forces portrait view.
This on my unrooted prime. Hope that helps

One off the latest updates fixed problems with prime can you test it?

I came in to this thread to find new handy apps for my prime. However since the OP asked about a flashlight. I have widget, Widgetsoid, that I have on my DroidX and I tried on my TP and works even better on this. It has many cool uses but one of them is flashlight LED toggle. It also lets you put widgets in the Notification bar too. You can make quick contact widgets too. It's one of my first installs on a new device.

Hey all,
does anyone know if there's a way to take a time lapse video with the screen off using ICS camera app (or any other app for that matter).
Cheers in advance.
I was wondering this a well, would definitely allow longer record times without being plugged in.

Hi there,
I had a similar challenge with root-explorer... Get KeepScreen from Adnroid Market, it allows disableing screen-off per app. Worked perfect for me.

I cannot get video to work on Skype on my S3. Video is enabled in Skype Settings but still no joy. Has anyone else got this problem or know how to fix it? I can't find any thread about this. This is a deal breaker for me. If Skype doesn't work I will reluctantly return the S3 during my 14-day trial period.
Thanks
Works fine here. Just tested video calling 3G and WiFi with no problems.
Finger trouble or firmware version?
Skype v2.8.0.920
Edit:
The other party (Recipient) must also have video enabled.
You could also lower the video quality and test.
Sent from my GT-I9300T using xda premium
works fine here as well.
Thanks for the replies. Still a mystery. I have the latest firmware and the other party definitely has video enabled. I switched to other devices and it worked fine. The front camera does work but there's no option to select when I make a Skype call (over WiFi). If the other party calls me I can see the options but it still doesn't work and returns to a black screen. Lower-res test done as well but no luck.
I just can't see what's preventing a video call. I can do this quite successfully from my tablet, old phone and desktop but not the S3. I have uninstalled and downloaded the software again but it still doesn't work. Grrrrr!
Try a video call on Gtalk to test. Obviously check video is enabled in its settings for both parties.
If working, try wipe data/cache in settings/applications/downloaded or all/Skype. You well need to setup Skype settings, login etc again.
If still no good, reinstall Skype
Sent from my GT-I9300T using xda premium
I did clear the cache. And one other thing: I can't close Skype. I have to use a Force Stop to quit the application. I've tried this several times and it always remains running unlike any other program I close (eg, swiping to the left from the running programs list). It doesn't show up in the task manager as a running program but the icon is still there on the top left of the phone. I wonder if some other process/application is interfering with it.
It's reassuring that Skype is working for others. I'm on O2 - could they have set up something to prevent Skype working? That's not my experience with other phones from O2 and I doubt that is the problem.
So did you try Gtalk (to confirm the problem is just with the Skype app) and also reinstall fresh from Google Play?..........

I haven't been able to find anyone to use gTalk with - everyone I seem to know has an iPhone/iPad!
Still no luck with Skype. I'm new to Android so not entirely confident about flashing Rom. I'll try to find out from Skype if there is an S3 issue.
Thanks everyone for suggestions so far

Here are a few compatible apps for video calling between iPhone and Android

Thanks, I'll check them out.
I've got what seems to be a fairly simple problem with Skype, so I thought I'd post here because Skype users are likely to read it ! :
Outgoing voice-only calls seem to work OK, but when I answer an incoming call, the GS3 screen goes completely black (regardless as to whether the phone was by my face or not).
I tried pressing buttons etc, didn't seem to be able to get it back until the caller hung up.
On a plus note, the call quality was great, but I really do need to be able to hang up the call!
Am I missing something obvious?
According to my tests, Skype video works when I'm connected to WiFi but I was never able to do the same under 3G.
I'm on a high bandwidth connection..but the person on the other side keeps saying that the video quality is ****ty. I have the Video Qualty setting on 'High'. The recieving quality is just great. Its only the video sent from my end. Is it the same for everyone? or just me?

Maybe you're upload speed has something to do with it, also tinge of day and network congestion (mobile towers overloaded).
Check your upload speed with speed test app

Hi all.
I am trying to transfer a photo from my wife's galaxy note 3 but everytime the phones connect, my XZU starts play store.
Any thoughts?

Interesting because on stock ROM you can't change anything. Curious are you running a custom ROM or is it stock? I just tried with my 6806 and my Note 3 and had no issues beaming to the Ultra.
Just to check, when you have NFC on, Do you also have Android Beam on as well?

You can't use NFC to transfer files. Its used to activate hardware or features. Its opening the playstore because it doesn't know what you want.
You'll need to tell it to activate android beam when tapping NFC
Don't ask me how to do that, as I've ever used beam.
Perhaps 'sony connect' from the playstore??
or
'NFC easy connect' both are by Sony Corp.

Yeah I downloaded NFC connect, this utility seems to be just for connecting to speakers etc, even with this software on the phone it does the same thing.
Weird.
Oh and I am on the stock ROM. Just upgraded to 4.3 so will see if that makes a difference.
Works from my xzu to HTC one hold them back to back android beam starts up and use ez file explorer to beam files

WiFi Display from Scarlet Cake
WiFi Display and my Roku worked fine.
I'm trying to use my View as a secondary monitor with a Dell xps 13 9350. I'm assuming noone else has tried it or it doesn't work for you guys as well. The view shows up with my roku, and my xps shows my roku? I don't know with which device the issue is with.
Try twomonair or twomonusb
I am using twomonair to set up the Galaxy View as extended monitor, it works great.
