How to use your Treo as a flashlight
21 September 2006
Every Treo user has done it - some do it more than others. Admit it - you’re guilty too! If you haven’t been using your Treo as a flashlight, then you’re missing out. Treonauts attempts to bring us all out of the closet, complete with this picture of a Treo being used to read a menu in a dimly lit restaurant. If you’re one of the unlucky few who hasn’t figured out the secret yet, don’t worry. You don’t need to install any fancy software or hacks. Simply press option + menu on your Treo 700p and watch the screen light up to the max. Now you won’t have to worry about stumbling blindly into the bathroom at night because you don’t want to wake up your wife. Treo to the rescue, again!

Yes, I admit it. I actually use it a lot at night when I turn off all the lights in the house and walking up the stairs to my bedroom. So, it’s a well-known “feature” of a Palm that many of us are aware of and use.
Very handy indeed.

I also use my Treo flashlight to read the thermostat at night - I hate turning on the light just to change the temperature.
