PhoneTorch 2 now for S60 3rd Edition (FP2 phones and N95) too!

Published by Steve Litchfield at 18:58 UTC, June 23rd 2010

PhoneTorch has been one of the most popular utilities for S60 5th Edition for the last year - and users like myself have been pleading with the author Harald Meyer to say the magic words and sacrifice the necessary goats to the masters of Symbian Signed in order to get it working for S60 3rd Edition FP2 too. And it's finally here, using the dual LED flash lights to revolutionise your walk home from the pub or find your way around the house in the dark without waking everyone else by turning on the main lights. Links and more below.

PhoneTorch on S60 3rd Edition FP2

In addition to working with the built-in camera LED lights, PhoneTorch 2 for S60 3rd Edition features:

Autostart when phone is turned on
Run PhoneTorch in background
Switch light on/off with special keys (e.g. camera button) even if keys are locked
Optional sound when light is turned on/off

Device compatibility for S60 3rd Edition FP2 is given as E52, E55, E75, N79, N85, N86, 5630 XM, 6720 "and others". There's a test utility on the PhoneTorch web site that you can use to see if your device model is compatible. Of special note is that there's also a 'N95' version, with a couple of small caveats.

Aside from the main site, PhoneTorch 2 is also now in the Ovi Store - search for it on the on-device client, too.

PhoneTorch 2 is already available for all S60 5th Edition phones, including the Sony Ericsson and Samsung devices. Again, see the PhoneTorch web site for download links.

its much much better than brightlight.. it has a same concept..
But very useful apps ..
I love it

I'd be quite happy to use the Nokia torch utility that's built into handsets like the E72 but for some reason it doesn't get bundled with the mainstream Symbian handsets like the N86.

I'd previously used Offscreen Technology's free "Bright light touch" on my N86 which worked well except you had to open the app, close it and open it again to make the LEDs light up and the only way to switch them off was to activate the camera.

Ultimately, I suppose that �3 isn't too dear except that you can buy it direct from their website for �1.99 ???

Megapack, are you sure you used brightlight right? It works fine.

brilliant app, happily pay �1.99 for this... definitely find me round some of the various squat partys/field raves i find myself in these days!
