Please corrected me if I'm wrong, I very vaguely know IR filtering and photography.
The first generation of camera's with IR mode had this "problem", then they made it so that the feature stopped working when there is too much (day)light.

hey guys i am happy to hear that xda had started hardware mod topic... so i think i should post one of my ideas...
i am taking about taking night photos( of course u can take one with a phone having an led flash or so.. but it is not about photo taken using an led flash). it is all about night vision photos. so r u interested? if so believe me u can do it with ur normal phone camera. no oter spec is needed. any camera can do it.
so the fact behind this is the normal ccd used in cameras( here our phone cameras which also use ccds) can detect ir light which cant be detected using bare human eyes...
so u can do some spy things using it???( lol "chicks" gona hurt u a lot).
all u have to make a light source using ir leds( those u find on remote controls) , get few 10-20 of them from ur nearest radio shack, assemble it in a suitable cabin( a small cardreader cabin can do the trick), along with some li-ion battery pack, a control switch, and a charging port( if u want to charge it), after u finish, turn on the ir light, turn on ur camera( ofcourse u have to turn ur led flash light off), carry both of them into a total dark place, viola, u can see things in the room on ur phone, and with no viasible light out there, no one gona detect u..
actualy, i had done it with my k800i sonyericsson cybershot phone, in which i used the fastport connector to power the light source, u can get about 3.2 v from the port. but for new android device, we cant get some v-out since 99% of phones are usb slaves, and not usb hosts. but if u have a phone/tab with a usb host port, ofcourse u can get upto 5v@100ma from it.
i will soon update the thread with circuits and photos, but now i have an exm time out there.. so be in touch. also if somebody managed to make one, u should share it here.
thanku

Can you be more specific? I have an old K810 collecting dust, would be great to put cam to use. What driver mod are you using? Where can I get it?
