Okay, so we all are familiar with the Green/Amber LED battery notifications. And the Red when the battery is low.
Well a few months ago I reported seeing my LED flash multiple colors. From green to purple to blue to red, etc.
Well, right after flashing rodriquez's newest froyo rom FRF91(r21 mod), the LED was a solid blue color.
It comes and goes. Sometimes it will even stay a solid green. I have no idea what/why it's doing this. The blue comes up more commonly than the green. I can't upload the photo right now, but I will when I find the sdcard adaptor to plug into my PC. But in the meantime, any idea what this means? Might just be a bug with the flashing of rom i did though
edit: It continues going from Blue to Green to Amber, then flashing Red. It has never done this and was never doing this until my most recent flash.
Are you using bluetooth maybe? Any light apps installed from the market?
Maybe its CPUStatusLED
Yeah It sounds like you are using that new app led status CPU or whatever its called.
Thanks a lot. That led turning blue and all that was really starting to annoy me.
It was some cpu monitoring thing. Not the one you listed, but I found it and uninstalled it.
I just noted (pardon the pun) that there are lines vertical ans horizontal lines when displaying white. This is my second phone. I went back to cpw and changed this one has similar horizontal lines. Its very very very faint, but I can see it. Im not sure why, it is because of the AMOLED screen, how it works?
Very annoyed. what can i do? every phone CPW has cant be faulty?

I've only had mine a day but cant see any lines like you've mentioned... maybe a bad batch they got in? Maybe something to do with the S-pen's digitizer screen, i assume that will have some form of grid to it
AMOLED seems to have weaknesses at low brightness levels.
Some have seen very faint lines .
Also on minimum brightness some reported a faint changing of the hue of the display.
The screen is also very bright (whites) on min brightness.
If you display a greyscale step pattern black is absolute black but
others that should be near black are too bright.

I think its just the AMOLED tech but check the display thread too.
In normal use the screen is amazing,
all technologies seem to have good and weak points if you look for them.
You are not the only one with this problem. I'm on my third galaxy note now... The first one had dead pixels and the right side was darker than the left side. The second one had much more dark horizontal and vertical lines and smudges. The third one at first had very faint lines and smudges, but it is becoming more visible now. There are several threads about this issue on this forum.. My guess is that these problems are pretty widespread (more or less visible on some gnotes) and that there were some bad batches or that the Amoled technology is the problem. Would love to hear the reason to these issues from Samsung.
No lines on mine. White is white and everything shows up excellent.

So you tell me you don't have banding at all?
No ****ty black-grey in videos?

Depending on the source if I'm watching say the end credits (white words on black screen) they get like a greyish glow around them
AMOLED limitations, ppl!

If you disable the automatic light control and just snap the backlight up from 0% to anything above, you will not see any grayish things in video on the Note. I don't have this problem, but I've heard that some people have had to do this to solve this issue.
I don't have any bandings or strange lines anywhere on the screen. It looks as good as my Galaxy S II and Galaxy Tab. I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary (considering the limitations of the AMOLED screen).
There have been concerns about the lines on the white though. I don't have any of those on mine, but it seems some screens show up this fault. I don't know how to solve this issue and would recommend returning it as soon as possible.
Using the recommended gray test on the Note didn't show up anything but a solid grey screen on mine, although I've heard much people have dark spots all over. It might be something about where the phone was manufactured, or when.
My Note have never had anything wrong with the screen or anything else. The only problem I've ever had is applications that use 16 bit color instead of the Notes 32 bit. This will make color look strange at times, but it's totally normal.
Note that this isn't something wrong with the hardware, it's merely a software problem that will be solved as soon as ICS is released.

Check this video, you REALLY have no artifacts?

Lines/spots are due to ****ty quality control, this is just a matter of luck.

I have yet to see ANYTHING with more then 65k colors, even in the browser.
All i see is some VERY clever dithering very hard to see due to the high resolution.
Coming from the HD2, I'm really disappointed, nothing gained in 3 years (well, more pixels, so harder to see the flaws).
I took 3 picture with a green gradient:
1) 1280width, so basicly 1280 levels of green, but 24bit only shows 255.
2) 255width, so basicly 255 levels of green, 24bit.
3) 64 width, so basicly 64 levels of green, 16bit.
They all look the same to me, in browser and in gallery. I see dither in each of them. This tell me the whole screen is 16/18 bit only.
Maybe the PenTile is playing tricks with me...
Or the grainy screen lets me think its dithered...
i am facing a similar problem..whenever i apply some photo having a lot of black in it as my lock screen image..there seems to be some horizontal gray lines in it..but when i look in the gallery the black is pure black (no horizontal gray lines at all)...is there any problem in the software only ? or is it something regarding the screen?
I looked at the phone in the store. It had a very bluish white that I don't like. I know the one ships with different screens, each one different WB and contrast (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40974853#post40974853). I've been out of the loop of rooting, locking, etc. How likely will it be? I'm grabbing the tmobile version.
I think i have a bad screen.
Today i went to a store and compared my Z3C with a another one. The weird thing my screen is more blue / Cold.
I checked the brightness and calibration on both. They where the same.
The other thing was i took a picture on both.....the black colors on the other one was more black. I hope not i also have a bad camera. I dont have those pink color phenomenem told by others.
Does anyone also had that fault ?
Can you tell when was your phone manufactured and where?
It's on the paper/sticker next to the the SIM card slot and the date should look like 14W41 (year 14, week 41). Maybe they used a different screen, which is a known policy. By the way, the HTC (M7) had 3 screen variants and 2 camera variants, but I did not hear if Sony uses 2 diferrent sensors.
My is 14w42. The demo one in store was 14w37 D5803.

Here is how to check it, but it needs root.
It's strange, but am I the only one who's display's white is actually more into red/pink, not blue? My display, especially on sunshine is all red-ish, so I have actually increased the green to make it more neutral...
Did you check if the brightness settings were the same? When low light, the blue tends to get stronger.

It was the same. I will send it to Sony and see what they can find out.
I was minding my own business when I saw the phone's LED flash blue, I've never seen it flash blue before so it was weird for me but then I saw the notification and saw that it was for facebook. I've never used facebook on my phone until recently and I've had my phone for months. So are there any other "special" LED colours that you can get?
