Let me know if closed the app before hand work :D I would not have a clue I'm just guessing since I dont have my N900 yet. Still waiting everyday like i'm waiting for a miracle
Closing camera cover should have the same effect as the turning off flashlight from menu. I will check the code. Thank you for report.

I hope I will be able to upload new version next week and also promote it to extras-testing. Right now I'm thinking about reading alarms from driver, such as overtemperature, undervoltage, .... to turn off flashlight in case of these faults.

The flash LED driver should be a pretty smart lil' bug, not sure if it's connected all the way or just with FLASH, TORCH and TX_SENSE (or something very similar) lines connected. Most of LED drivers these days are I2C devices though, so you can almost make them stepdance for you or talk about their problems before going power emo. The LEDs are soldered on the little piece of quite thick (and hopefully very coppery) piece of board that holds the microSD reader too, so they should take at least the torch current even for extended periods of time... On most phones the flash LEDs are on a flimsy piece of flexible PWB that makes me wonder how many flashes will they take before becoming too faint (high temperatures cause LEDs to lose brightness quite rapidly, that's been the main problem with introducing them to normal lighting use).

Nice app, it's very useful here with five hours of non-darkness a day in the winter :D

I installed it by downloading flashlight-applet_0.1-0_armel.deb and unpacked it with dpkg -i. Rebooted and opened the cameracover, but I cannot find it anywhere...

I suppose a real ugly hack would be to kill the process as soon as it starts running but that's not really a solution..

I can't sem to find this in devl or testing. Am I missing something? I'm searching for 'flashlight' bt aso can't find it looking through the list manually.

That' a very nice application, very praticle when need the most. Just worry about overheating led as someone tested long use of the flashlight like for over 20 minutes ???
