Well, when battery going to die on the G1, the light flashes red. Which all it does is take up the little battery you have left. Any way to turn it off or an app that maybe can?

That LED takes up very little battery power if any. Trust me, if you're that low on battery power, then you have more issues to worry about than an led being on. That thing probably draws like 1/10 of a watt.
Aside from whatever power it draws, I'd like to be able to turn off the low power light because it overrides other notification lights. It doesn't let me know anything aside from the fact that the power is low.. It'd be nice if they could rotate or something.

Now that makes more sense as I have had the issue as well when I charge my phone while sleeping.
I asked the dev of Missed Call awhile ago if you could change the color of the charging and low battery. He said he couldn't because there is no change in something, I think no change in the HEX code or whatever.
Maybe he could try again, I would ask him since he was able to change the colors for everything else.

guys is there no auto flash on the camera? it seems you must manually select to turn the light on or off, this is terrible and time consuming
any fixes? i still think after the k800i, sony's camera went down hill ;(((
This seems to be the case, I haven’t come across any fixes, and hopefully an official firmware update should take care out it, although…. shouldn’t the coders here be able to outcode official Sony programmers lol
Thats how it is with LED "flashes"
A LED cant emit enough light to really work as a flash, so meh
hmm, yes i hope somebody fixes this, one of the reasons i upgraded from diaond was for a flash camera and well its quite frustrating ;((
Frustrating I agree, I upgraded from a nokia N95 with a LED flash and that knew when the light low and turned on..

LED flash is never going to be a flash... even is it's on by default or by light sensor... so deal with it.... I haven't seen any led flash act as a flash..
if you think i'm rude... well.... Maybe I am...
Drunk.....
Well, the point should be that it should still turn ON/OFF automatically, regardless if it flashes just as you push the shutter button, or turns on beforehand when it detects low light.

Indeed. I dont think anyone expects the X1's LED to be truely "flash", but seriously... other phones can detect low light, and turn on when the picture is taken, then turn off after again. No need to "manually" turn on the light when you want to take the photo. It's pretty stupid.
PLUS this phone has a light sensor, AND just using the camera alone it should be able to detect low light. What gives?!
And I thought I was doing something wrong with my settings that caused the phone NOT to flash. Do other phones with an LED not flash? I'm pretty sure my N95 does.
yes this phone is FULLY CAPABLE of this but stupidly it just hasnt been incorporated!
the Raphael/touch pro has the same issue
You can change in the registry so the LED will start automatically when you start the camera. I think it is good. Because when you need it, it will work and when you don't need it it doesn't matter because it doesn't affect anything. Of course you can turn it of in the settings as normal.
set HKLM\software\SonyEricsson\Camera\PROPERTY_PHOTO_LIGHT to 1
Note: Don't know if it is the same on R1 but I'm using R2 with the latest camera software

Interesting tweak!
Not ideal (sometimes you still want it off when in medium light) but certainly better than always off.
I am a bit disappointed that the latest R2 firmware did not include an improvement to the Camera app that would set the light on/off automatically based on the light level. Seriously, is it THAT HARD?
The backlight turns up/down based on the light level... and I know other people have written apps that do things based on how bright it is...
Turn off your phone.
Hold the trackball and end key down.
Let go and bam ur in blue light mode.
Blue light mode is good because it makes your phone completely unusable since it cant be turned on. Only way to get out is take out the battery (i believe)
So if u dont want anyone on your phone, that could be helpful.
I'm just wondering what its real purpose is tho.
Maybe everything is off except bluetooth in this mode?
I'll give it a shot sometime tomorrow
huh?
thats very odd, I wonder what it is, Id say there is a better chance that its a feature of some sort not just a bug in the code...
Im sure the DREAM-weavers here will get it figured out soon enough...
hey J.F. maybe DREAMWEAVER would be a good nick
bhang
ooh i love it, i totaly have a thing for blue led's
theres an excellent app on the market called Missed Call.
it lets you change the the LED at the top to whatever colour you want when you get a call, a missed call, a text and when your bluetooth is on. also you can change how quickly it flashes. i currently have my text LED set to blue and set to flash quite fast. looks great
oh, theres also ****ing 9 different colours that LED can do!!!
Haha yes, but as cool as that is. The fact that the led is blue isn't what's so intriguing.
I'll post anything i find

haha yeah i know
i remember getting into this mode by accident once and thinking i ****ed my phone up. i'll see what i can dig up about it.
Is there any way (app, reg hack) to make rear LEDs blink on missed call or message? Front green/amber LED is too small and often hard to see. Battery consumption may be a problem, but rear LED doesn't have to blink as often; quick flash (e.g. 100ms) every 30s would be ok.
The developer of TorchButton might be able to help you.
Search the forums on that name and send him a PM.
the idea is wicked
how come no one ever thought of this
That´d be totally cool. And worth a donation.
"Whoa, your mobile´s cam got insane....! -No, I just got a text "
Can see it being a big battery drain if your not around to dismiss it.
+1 for this
Great idea!
Camera light or maybe light of hardware buttons..? Would be cool!
-Juha
Light of hardware buttons would be very cool too..
Yes, hardware buttons light would also be nice. PMed TorchButton dev, hope he can help...
+1 to this idea! and the hardware button for the light although making it one of your quick links is fine

I got your PM.
I'm sure this is possible, but it would probably create a battery drain while notifications are busy. This is because the device must be in unattended mode (not in standby, display off). Unattended mode is required as the flashlight and the keypad light don't stay enabled if the device is in standby. Let alone be able to make it blink with an interval.
So, while there is a notification (i.e. missed call or unread text), battery drain would go up like at least 50%.

Thank you for research on the topic, and your reply. Too bad it can't work in standby.
When Focus is charging, there is no LED light to indicate this.
Is this just an issue with my Focus, or is this happening to other people?
Yep, same issue here with no LED notifications of any kind.
is there even supposed to be a LED?I think I only see a proximity sensor and a light sensor
There is no LED, you just look at the upper right and see the power status as it has a 'power plug' logo inside the battery meter.
Reports are same with the Dell Venue Pro.
Also, people have mentioned that the iPhone 4 has no led either and people seem to make due with it.
I think the idea it to try to forget about the battery so much and just use your phone.
on wm6.5 I spent alot of time worrying about stuff like battery life, and what was using up my battery.. and what program was running when the amp usage was high.. and make sure I turn off push email when I am home..
but with windows 7.. I am trying to not worry about those things. I plug it in at night.. and no LED is better for sleep.. then I use the phone all day and never worry about if a program is eating up memory.. or other bugs that made me crazy with wm6.5
and the absolute best thing about the phone is that it is NOT an IPHONE!!!
ok so this phone is supposed to not have a led right? i was at a party last night and in a pretty dim lit room.. made a phone call and there was a faint red light that you could see just left of the upper spreaker grill... so if you go into a dimmly lit room and wanna make a call you can see a light there.. i dont know if this is just something from inside the phone making the color or if it is a led that will be accessible with a future update.. just wanted to share that.. loving this phone!!!
Hello. Since I dont see any complains or posts about notification led, I create this post so we can share our opinions
I mean, our led is weak, not multicolor, it stops blinking after a few minutes, and when it is charging it is useless because does not blink at all (stays red).
The multicolor and weak issue it´s hardware..So I dont think there is any solution (multicolor is very useful, for example to tell apart whatsapp mesage or group, so maybe is more or less urgent..)
But, do you know any solution for "blinking time" issue and the charging issue. I read that Viper Rom has some Mod or something, but I prefer staying in stock for the time being (however, I do have root)
On the other hand, i have tried light flow app, but I do not get the led blinking, it keeps static
Thank you for your help!
Custom kernels have blink button led lights so the home and back buttons blink , this is excellent.

I think some GPE roms let you choose to have blinking led for notifications even when charging and yes, ViperOne lets you specify how long the led should blink for (its set to 60 minutes by default! lol) and you can also turn on led blinking when charging
Use Light Flow LED app from the play store. It provides an option to set different colors for different notifications.

Yeah mate I tried it, it seems to work, even it gets a weird yellow led, but the led stays static, I couldn't get it blinking
Came from a long line of blackberry's so the LED is probably one of the only things I really miss. You said you're rooted, have a look around in /system/customize/ACC/default.xml or whatever your CID's xml file is:
<item type="integer" name="NMS_feature_led_flash_timeout">5</item> - change the 5 to 0 and you should get no led timeout.
I also did the following (personal preference, I charge at night using a dock so i like to be able to glance over and see if theres anything waiting when on silent):
<item type="boolean" name="NMS_feature_flashlight_during_charging">false</item> - change from false to true and the led will blink for a notification even if it's charging.
Terrible LED is for me the only thing wrong with the One. Real shame. A partial solution for me is to install Dynamic Notifications (free/paid app) which give a Moto X type visual when notifications are received. I set it so the screen goes white instead of black and flashes every minute or so after a notification arrives. Still not ideal but saves relying on the crappy LED!

Really? That's so awesome. I will wait to arrive home to try that, just in case something goes wrong... But thank you so much, if it works.. That's all I was looking for
So then the only bad thing would be that it still weak and not multicolour. To be honest, is the only bad thing I can found in this amazing phone
You are wrong i think...

Dear friend the all think with the notification led is so wired for me.I bought my one with vodafone branded new with 4.1. something firmware i think.The notification led in that firmware was bright enough no problem at all.With the 4.3 firmware witch i had now the intensity of the notification led has reduced significantly, plus i noticed that if your phone switch of during to battery empty and then you plug it for charging, the notification led opens for 5 seconds as normal as in the previous android versions....then looses its power again....So i think that this is not a hardware problem .

Yup, agree about the LED, the green/red is a hardware limitation by HTC so lightflow and other 3rd party apps don't work in changing the colour.
I didn't explain the above fully but let me know if you any issues, will be happy to help.
Hmm I have not noticed less brightness with the last update, I feel it as weak as before..

Was just searching for light flow fix htc one and found this. Bummer but thanks
Would we cool if we at least could somehow mix the red/green blinks, ie having WhatsApp blinking red-green and LINE green-red. Is not much but at least would be something. You can even take it further and have more blinking states like green-green-red or red-green-red-green and so on. Xposed module anyone?

I was exactly thinking the same buddy!
also is there a way to make the 'back' and 'home' buttons bink, without installing another kernel?

I think it's possible (search on the Market). The main difference (I believe) is that the kernel-solution will not drain the battery (other than the power consumed by the lights) and a application should be running on the background all the time listening to all apps thus draining a lot more battery. This is just the way I see it, I don't not if it's really the case!
It stops after a few minutes because It would we shifty annoying if it's keep flashing in 2 hours...
