Yeah, what's up? Once again, peoples, this your man Adrian, aka Drizza just coming out do another quick demo for the Shell phone show. Now in this particular demonstration, I'm going to be showing the flashlight where exactly it's located and how we can go about using this particular app. Now you're probably thinking to yourself, what the heck I need this app for? What I need a flashlight for? Well, it does come in pretty handy if you need a light and a quick pinch real quick. In one scenario, my possibly got his flashlight one time and he needed a light to look at something in my water heater closet. So I just broke out the blind cell classic two, turn on the flashlight for him real quick and he took the phone. He just used the light from that and it actually gets pretty bright. And also, if you can see a little bit at your low vision, it's also handy for that if you need the light. If you're still able to see, be able to just look at something real quick. Either scenario, it's good to have a flashlight on your phone. So we're going to go ahead and jump right into this. I had a blind shell in front of me. I'm going to let you know the location of it. At the top left of the phone is your actual input for your headphones where you can plug in the headset. And at the top right of the blind shell, if you feel with your finger, you'll feel like this smooth rectangular screen. That's the actual flashlight right there. Now, there's a couple of different ways that you can pull up the flashlight. I'm going to pull it up manually real quick. I'm going to go inside the menu. I'm going to press ok, that's the button above the number one, call.

One of seven. I'm going to press number four to go to applications. Applications. Four of seven, press ok. Internet browser one of twelve. I'm going to down bar the tools. Tools. Two of twelve. Press ok on that alarm. One of 13. Then I'm going to go to the six setting. I'm just going to press number six on the keypad and that's the flashlight. Flashlight. Six of 13.

Ok, there it go right there. Now the way how this works is once I press the ok button on this flashlight app, you'll hear the voice say flashlight on. And then you'll hear like this little clicking sound which is letting you know that the light is on. I'm about to press ok, flashlight on. You hear it say flashlight on and now it's clicking which means the light is on and you just take your flashlight, came to see a family member and they can use your phone to sign whatever they need to look at. Or you got a little bit of sight, you can use that once again to angle the light where you need to be. So you just press the ok button to stop the light.

Flashlight off. Flashlight off. I know some people were complaining about, man, does it have to click like that while it's on? Well, that's only like audible notification letting you know that it's on. Now, there's no way to turn it off unless you just press the ok button. So I'm going to press ok to turn it on. Flashlight on. Here. Say flashlight on. Press ok again. Flashlight off.

Flashlight off. But you want to try to minimize the sound of that clicking. I want to press ok to turn on the flashlight. Then I'm going to use my volume buttons on the left side of the phone to adjust the volume of the click. So I'm going to press ok flashlight on. Flashlight on. Volume ten. So the volume's at ten. I'm going to just press the down bar, the volume down bar on the left side of the phone to turn it down.

Volume nine, volume eight, volume seven. Volume six, volume five, volume four.

So I got the volume on four right there. So it's still clicking. So the flashlight's still on, but it's not as loud. So this is like a little workaround. Like man, that click is loud. You just turn it down with the volume buttons. Then you just stop the flashlight after that by pressing the ok button says flashlight off back. And just back out of the flashlight with the back button. 09:24 a.m. i'm back on the main screen. So that's the first way of pulling up the flashlight. Another way is you can pull it up in your favorites that you have in there, but you can also use voice dictation I'm going to do it that way real quick. I'm going to hold down the right button until it beeps.

Flashlight opening, flashlight open, flashlight on. And it just opens up. Clicking and the light is on. Once again, you can press the ok button, flashlight off. You'll say flashlight off. You want to turn it back on, press the ok button, flashlight on. And once again, if you want to adjust the volume, just use your volume buttons on the side of the phone. Volume eight six, volume five four.

So I'm going to turn this off back out of this flashlight with the back button. So that's the flashlight app right there. It's located in the tools folder underneath applications. It's a nice little app to have if somebody needs a light real quick. So y'all check that out when you get a chance. Any questions, just hit me up at drizzler 17 at att.net. that's Dasha one seven att.net dot peace.
