Brighter L.E.D lights? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

any way to mod the brightness of the notification L.E.D brightness to the max (Similar mod like ion) ? went to the system/etc/pre_hw_config.sh
but found no values

i'd also really like to know if there's way to make LEDs brighter. i barely see notifications and i don't really want to use apps like NO LED

My LED seems too bright to me! Can never get to sleep with the charging LED on...

This is a big problem for me as well. I wish there was a way to disable the LED overnight using tasker or something. At the moment I have to put something on top of the LED to stop it waking me up.

Wow really, I find mine blinding early in the morning when I open my eyes in my dark room much brighter than any other Smart Phone I have owned

Auto brightness VS manual

Hey guys just wondering what kind of battery life people are getting with either of the settings on? I keep mine on a manual 50% and the battery seems OK, but I've seen real good reports of people using auto brightness too.

If auto-brightness was a person, i'd punch in the face and kick it out of my house. I use manual brightness, about 40-50%, i get 8-10 hours out of it.
i use auto on n7 and gnex, no battery complaints.

lol... I have similar feelings
I love the auto brightness, but it makes the screen flicker on the N7
But I hate auto brightness on the iphone with a passion!

Normally I'd agree with you, but auto is actually working pretty well on the N7.

Auto seems to get stuck for me. I'll go in a dark room and it lowers brightness, but won't go back up when it gets light. Sometimes it's reversed.

Agree that the auto bright may have some issues. Sitting in a room with TV and a single lamp and the unit dims. Had to switch to manual to read

its supposed to be like that. Its bright in the sun so you can see and dim at night so still visible, but not hurting your eyes
Manual brightness setting on a tablet is good for me, since I use it inside 99% of the time. And I usually keep it fairly low.
On a phone, you really need a GOOD auto-brightness. What looks good inside can cause the screen to be invisible outside. Trying to navigate blind to adjust the brightness manually isn't always easy.
Overall, I would say the N7 has a good auto-brightness control from when I played around with it. Haven't tried outside though.
I like the auto brightness. I trued manual and auto and the auto gives me the same brightness level I would have chosen myself.

I think the auto on the N7 is pretty good BUT I would like the ability to bump it up or down a bit. So whatever the sensor is calling for add or subtract a percentage to it. I like my tablet a bit brighter so I tend to use manual brightness most of the time. That's really the only setting I am missing with the "phone" style UI. I liked that brightness slider was right in the ICS tablet UI menu that popped up. I am getting 8 hours at 50% brightness most of the time.
I thought it looked rather dim with auto; I've been keeping mine on max brightness since shortly after I got it.

I know how it works, but if it brightens up in a light room it doesn't go down in a dark room and ends up searing my eyes like a tuna steak.

[Q] Capacitive buttons not lighting up

Quick queatuon.
The lights on the capacitive buttons are not lighting up, only when it 1st boots and then nothing at all.
Can anyone confirm if this is a problem I have or if it's normal?
Thanks
AW: [Q] Capacitive buttons not lighting up
Is it dark? They don't light up in a bright environment. Hold your hand over the light sensor and check again.

Yep it's pretty dark in here. I was holding down the power key in the lock screen earlier trying to power off and realised you can't do it without unlocking. Wondering if I have pressed something there as when I do it again they both flash for a few seconds
Try a piece of folded up paper or something over the 2 senors on the top left of the front top speaker.

All that does is restart the phone, it's the equivalent of a battery pull.

Why?
It's a feature to help you in dark conditions, do you need them on all the time?
It'd be nice if they reliably worked in the dark though. In bright sunlight they will try and compete but, in dead of night, they hide their brilliance.

Must be a defect then, you need to post in the "issues" thread, i just tried mine from one room to another in my humble abode and they showed up, and then they slowly faded as i walked back into my seductively lit lounge area.

[Q] Dark theme saves battery?

So I ' am an owner of Sony Xperia Z and there are some threads about this theme but nothink straight said.I would be grateful when someone
could tell me if I use pure blackscreen wallpaper or just the darker theme is it going to affect the battery? In a positive way. Looking foward
for šime helpful answers thanks, also if anyone knows good battery saver app would be great when you could share link or name. Thanks.
Dark themes are useful for amoled display that's what i know.

A dark colored theme or a pure black wallpaper won't save battery.In an LCD screen, the backlight consumes the most power (to my knowledge).so whether its black white blue red it should be the same. In an amoled display the battery gain is sizeable.
What will save battery life is screen brightness..so try keeping it lower as that makes a huge difference..
I use battery guru by Qualcomm(Xperia Z's chipset manufacturer), I don't have figures to quote but it increased my battery life by a lot since I have been using it..and it's icon can be hidden and it's very simple to use..and doesn't annoy with spam.

Is it spamming but? like notifictions and stuff?
Also btw I can really copy paste from you for my brightness management though after 4.2.2 I am switching to just the brightness toggle keeping automatic always on..and manually going max low at night.

Okay I download that guru by Qualcomm and I got interested in it never heard of it but I got dissapointed the fact it has to know my location for
3days and I gotta have wifi enabled all that time than he actually starts saving battery I don't think I'll
Stick with it

No that never happened with me.:S
Just switch WiFi off, it's ridiculous if the app is asking for that :/
It's has the manage wifi feature which automagically switches from 3g to wifi say when you reach home.
But you can always manually turn wifi off.
Infact I turned that feature off.
Here's screenshots of my settings.

Totally kill the LED for good?

As the title suggests, can you totally kill the LED notification light? I mean stop it working for good.

Why would you even do something drastic like that? :what:
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
I could disable it on my x10 mini pro by night for example. But it was cm feature. Possibly linked to kernel also (cm was disabling module controlling led. If I remember well).
It is useful for example by night. When the led try to make you remember "hello, I am charged, I will put this green light in your face for you to know it"
Xperia z led power is still correct, x10 was my morning sun.

Simple... I don't like it
I can't stand the stupid thing being lit at night like 'hey your fully charged, now I'm going to dazzle you till you wake up'. I don't like the fact it doesn't show colours properly since the last update and more than anything else, it looks ugly as hell when it's lit. I initially liked it S my BlackBerry had one, but the BB had the far superior light control and brightness, the colour was more defined too.

Front LED notification light

Hey guys, I've been very impressed with my Flex and hardly ever put it down so I guess for awhile I didnt notice how bad the front LED is.
I've been busy the past few days and have not had much time to play with it and I have realized that I with some exceptions I am unaware of receiving anything on my phone that usually is notified to me via the front LED light of any of my previous phones with the exception of the idiotic Galaxy SII which required me to download an app that used the screen to display notifications.
It seems the one on the FLEX only works sometimes and its microscopic on top of that.
Anyone else with the same issue?
Or maybe a workaround I havent found yet?
Thanks!
You could work around this by flipping the phone over. The power button lights up for notifications in much the same manner as the front LED.
