  • Light level 1 looks like 0

    Light level 1 looks like 0

    Google Pixel 6

    The first bar should be filled in. Because the light is so dim you may not notice it's on and just close the app.

    May be an issue after unlocking a device and if the app is open it will show the bar is empty. And you have to check the counter or the back of the phone.

  • Quick settings tile options

    Quick settings tile options

    Would be nice if you could assign either of:

    • Always Flash On
    • Toggle Flash
    • Open the App (if open don't change flash state)

    For:

    • App first start
    • App reopened
    • Quick Tile

    A sensible default:

    • Quick Tile: Toggle Flash
    • App first start: Always Flash On
    • App reopen: No action, wait for UI controls.

    Use case for tile toggle

    Idk if it's possible to differenciate between a tile press and app open. However when pressing the tile while the phone is locked it will ask for password AND activate flashlight. So being able to toggle and not unlock the phone would be great.

  • Quick Start activation ignores initial light level

    Quick Start activation ignores initial light level

    When activating the flashlight through a short tap on the Quick Start tile, it goes full brightness. After opening the app, the light level drops to the initial light level. If I open the app through a long press on the Quick Start tile, it works like intended.

  • Light level keeps resetting to maximum

    Light level keeps resetting to maximum

    Firstly, thank you for developing and providing us this wonderful app.

    Potential bug:

    • If you start the app with the FlashDim Quick Settings tile, change the light level, go to the home screen without closing the app and then going back in, the light level resets to maximum.
    • The same happens when you put your device in standby / locking it.
      • Sometimes awaking it is enough, but sometimes it only happens after unlocking it.
    • Crucial is that the FlashDim app need to be open (not in the background) before locking the device.
    • If you do this while the app is active in the background, the light level resets only after opening the app again.

    This bug only occurs when opening through the Quick Settings tile. I tried to reproduce the issue with opening the app through the app drawer, but all works as intended.

  • On tile click doesn't update the UI

    On tile click doesn't update the UI

    Steps to reproduce

    1. Open the app.
    2. Set the light level to any value (e.g. 22).
    3. Open notifications while the app is open and click the tile to turn the flash off. Close the notifications.

    Actual result

    The level in app is the same value (e.g. 22) and the bar is filled, but the light is physically off and the tile is in the off state.

    Expected result

    The app shows the current flash state (e.g. off).

    Notes

    If you click the tile again and it sets the level to something different (e.g. default is 10) the app will show 22 (from example above), but the actual level is 10.

    Importance

    Honestly not that important, since you can press home (swipe up on buttonless devices) and open the app again (not a full restart) and it will get the current state correctly.

    Notes

    The tile updates correctly if the flashlight level or state (on/off) is changed in the app.

  • Add button launch shortcut

    Add button launch shortcut

    Hi! Thanks for the app.

    Would you consider adding the ability to launch the flashlight from lock screen with buttons only? It is very convenient. I see four options:

    • Put a hook on volume buttons, the same way Torchie [1] does it through accessibility service.
    • Register your app as an assistant app, and trigger it through long-press of power button, but only for enabling flashlight.
    • The same but with camera
    • Do background polling the same way KeyMapper [2] does. Not very convenient as it drains the battery.

    What do you think?

  • "This device only supports 1 light level." - Phone not supporting dim feature

    โš ๏ธ BEFORE opening a new issue if this message appears in the app read this:

    "This device only supports 1 light level. Dim feature deactivated."

    This message is shown when your device does not support dimming your flashlight. You can still use basic flashlight features of the app, but all dim features are hidden.
    I can not do anything about this as the limitation is hardware related.

    If your device is not supported opening a new issue for this will unfortunately not change anything about this problem.
    You can check HERE for device support.
