Hi it seems to be a common problem for the led flash of HTC devices, I searched around but I couldn't find a solution for stock android roms. The problem is that the led is so bright that I cannot use the camera without blinding everyone and making them close their eyes. Is there a way to reduce the brightness of the LED? I compared the Nexus One with and iPhone 4 and the iPhone's LED isn't as bright when taking pictures, resulting in much better photos. Any ideas?

Dear all,
I have an idea to share with all my fellow Kaiser user. Since we have a camera, why don't we make use of it to check the ambience light and auto adjust the backlight according to the level of brightness sensed by the camera. Also, using the front camera, it should not be hard to check the orientation of the ppc, it would be nice if PIE or and browser adjust itself like the iphone did.
Just my 0.02. Hope this idea can help.

your idea is good, but has some "design flaws":
1. the camera adjusts the overall brightness automatically, so if this can't be disabled, it would be useless.
2. if you would point the camera at a white wall or a black something you would get different overall luminance, even if the ambient light is the same. again, useless.

Is there another parameter which is detectable which could allow for such a problem?
Dunno how to program at all, just thinking...
...what a bunch of tightarses these companies are not using a transflective screen.

the camera autoadjusts brightness for the picture you are taking, not for what it actually receives...
This application does exist for the PalmOS (caled BrightCam) and works beautifully. I truly miss this app on my Kaiser now. I wil inquire with the developer if he has plans on anyting for WM.
Hello everyone, I'm new to these forums as well as a new Xperia X1 owner.
I love pretty much everything about this phone except I find one issue that doesn't seem up to par to my previous phones and I can't seem to find a way to adjust it.
Basically, if there is a missed call or a new text that I don't see right away, and my phone goes black (stand by), the 4 lights that light up around the phone seem to have really long intervals and barely flash. I feel like I have to stare at the phone for a good 5 seconds before I see a flash and it's not even that bright.
Is there an adjustment that I'm not seeing, or a way to adjust the intervals and brightness? I can't be the only one with this problem, my old phones had very bright and quickly blinking lights.
Thank you.
advanced config offers some options on that (at least patterns, not sure on brightness), illumineria in themes&apss even more
have a look, best
Is it just me, or is the LED on the S5 disappointing? Compared to the S3 (my last phone), it is dimmer and smaller. Why would Samsung do that? If anything, we should get a nice big bright LED with customizable blink and color patterns for different notifications. The stock notifications blink really slow and are real dim. In fact, when they came out with Android 5.0, they made it even dimmer. Major bummer! I just don't understand WHY they would dumb down the LED and why there's so few (if any) settings to customize it. Now we have to install battery-hogging apps like Light Flow to customize the LED, but it's still dim. Very disappointed!
Maybe it is like this to save battery life.... but it's annoying

i use light manger and its amazing
Not sure if its just me but the flash is brighter on the S5 in camera mode but when using as a torch the led is a lot brighter on the S3. I would assume its to do with slowing the battery drain as mentioned by @sefuleo

Light Flow is a great LED manager.

You're right, S3's led was better, and the speaker too :/
I was wondering if the dual tone flash has two seperate LED's? or if its only one LED powering the two coloured plastic parts. Based on close inspection mine only has one led powering the two slots. A quick reply would be appreciated, thanks!
Anyone?
Mine has 2 . One is white and the other is orange .
I got 2 also. It flash white and then orange.
Two LEDs here. It produces pure white light while focusing and nice warm tone flash later. Single LED is not capable of doing it.
When using the torch, does the White LED only turn on?
Both on mine

That's how it works on pretty much every single Huawei/Honor device. Why? I have no idea.
I'm not an expert, but cooler white LED's have lesser power consumption (Lumen per Watt). So if you want to use the LED as a flashlight, cooler light is more efficient and they don't need to cool the module too much. I like the warm one as a flash, but I still miss the Xenon Flash from old Sony Ericsson Phones
Noone uses it long enough to make 7-10% difference neigligible. Turning the flashlight on for couple of hours makes no difference either.
More - LED efficiency depends on the current. Split the same current for two diodes and they'll make even more light! And since the other one is a warm one, light itself will be much higher quality. There's absolutely no reason to use just one LED as a flashlight.
Hi guys. I love this phone to death and camera is fantastic except 1 issue
I take alot of pictures of PC's and the rgb and led lights on fans etc all colors come out super bright white when in fact it's actually bright green red blue etc
I had a pos Samsung and it had no problem with super bright colors and u could clearly distinguish between all the rgb colors
Am I missing a setting or something?
Did you try HDR mode?
Yep tried hdr and everything else I can find. Seems OK with some lights

Seems better when light is behind tinted glass. However pointing at it like in the 1st pic just turns out super bright white
