Suggestion for Nokia Magnifier

Profile picture markdurrant Thu, 2009-04-02 16:52

Option to turn flash on

Would be great if this could turn the light on to illuminate eg a menu in a dimly lit restaurant (sorry, missed the existing thread).

i have a xenon so it

i have a xenon so it wouldn't work for me. but for phones that have led and dual led it may be useful.

It would work but not for long time

It will be fine, but I know it cannot work for a long time. This is for the same problem that it cannot be used like a torch.

A work around.

You could use Best Torch (which is freeware) and Magnifier to see if this helps.

@mbrett

Best Torch use the screen as torch not the led of flash on my N95, on the N95 8GB does it use the flash?
Probably I cannot understand very well, the suggestion is use magnifier with the flash on or have only the flash on for use it as torch?

My misunderstanding

Done some research and found out the following:

"The LED on the N95 is different from one found on just about all other phones with a torch. The LED in an N95 is only meant for a short burst of high current so it's brighter when it flashes. Prolonged use will result in rapid heat build-up and burn it out. If a program could control the current going to it and undervolt the LED when in a torch mode, then it would reduce the risk of burning out the LED."

Eledgedly Nice Light works on the N95 and N95 8Gb, but use at your own risk.
