When I go to whatsapp settings and change the led light to green it doesn't really seem to work. What happens instead is when the phone screen is off and someone sends me a message, a white led light comes on instead (must be default light set by Sony) and when I switch the screen on the led finally flashes green. Some times both colours flash when screen is off
Anyone else have this issue? I tried light manager and when I did the led test the same problem occurs but this time it flashes green once and then back to white light...any way to solve this? A white light is pretty rubbish imo

Are you running under Stamina Mode? If you turn off Stamina, then you would find the LED works well.
It seems SONY didn't get LED issue under Stamina really resolved, SONY just gives LED White light ONLY and Fixed frequency ONLY under Stamina, and customerized light&frequency still not working under Stamina mode.

Ah that makes sense, Sony seem to always be a step behind...fixing one bug and another appears or in this case partially fixing it. This probably be my last Sony handset tbh

I think this is an Android related stuff: Fix one thing, break tons of others.
You can see it on CM, AOKP, AOSP. One fix, one bug.
"So I added this thing to have a smoother experience... Oh, it causes battery drain/wakelocks/breaks NFC, etc".
How many times have I seen stuff like that on Development section.

I read about the issue of Stamina Mode blocking the usage of the LED. I like the LED, it's the best thing for notifications. But without Stamina Mode, I'm getting poor battery life. Is there any way to bypass this? perhaps a third party application or mod? I'm rooted and on an unlocked bootloader so I'd have no problem messing with it to get this working.
Thanks!

Light Flow with root and alternative mode works with Stamina Mode, but you only get 3 LED colors unfortunately
Thanks! But it didn't work, what did you mean by alternative mode?

It's in the settings of the app. 2nd or Third option from the top.
Tried it but it's very crippled. Only 3 LEDs and you can't control the blink speed. And the LED itself is very dim. Extremely hard to see it and I tried all 3 different colours.

Yeah, just figured it out, and it doesn't blink at all for me it just stays continuously on and it's very dim like you said. Well, this sucks..... I don't understand the idea behind disabling the LED in stamina mode. It's just a tiny LED, how much power can it consume?!?

That was already acknowledged by Sony and will be fix in a future update
Never knew Sony acknowledged it... Source?

I'm not the source...
But one user in other topic (can't remember) emailed Sony and they said they will fix that!
Can't be 100% sure!

Ambroos was the source that said that Sony will fix it.
The low battery light still works, so it will change with the next proper update most likely
Greetings everyone,
I have a quite dumb question, since I've seen many users trying to have T ROMs on their TXs - is it possible to boot a TX firmware or ROM on the Xperia T? Has anyone tried that? The main reason is the color saturation. I know it's probably 99% hardware problem, but I've entered Service Menu and checked Display. And it's perfect! Cear, pure colors, with deep and real black.
It's very frustrating to have that view problem, with dimming effect or what the heck it is...
When in Album (with BE activated) the differences are almost none between TX and T (T even has more clearity and sharpness, with some extra brightness).
By the way, I have already modified values in pre_hw_config.sh... Even installed an app that filters the screen (and managed to get rid of that autoadjustment effect!) but I'm still unsatisfied with the overall saturation, those washed colors in the UI... Some background color schemes seem to be painted, with distinct shades clearly seen (Album art background color, i.e.). That's awfull.
If the screen is differently calibrated - then why in the Service Menu the colors are excelent and almost the same as in TX?
That's why I think that are chances that 1% could be ROM or Kernel's fault. A software thing...
I cannot guarantee you these words are true but I've read somewhere that somebody did flash TX ROM on his T.
Except from other problem fixes, he also discovered that the WiFi signal reception got really better.
So I think nothing wrong could happen. We know a lots of cases when T ROM was flashed to TL or at least T ROM on TX (the only wrong thing then was broken XPERIA lighting). I think everything will be ok
My phone is T. Xperia T.
Thanks, now you maked me even more curious about this thing. I don't think something really bad will happen, like not booting at all, not being recognised by SUS or Flashtool etc. I hope so...
Maybe I'll try to flash tomorrow a stock TX ROM - and then report (also if there's a screen quality/behaviour changed). :cyclops:
FLASHED
I managed to flash TX firmware. Everything worked just fine, phone booted without problems...
The bad thing: does not vibrate at all and the camera is messed up it's upside down, it won't focus and when tries to capture - freezes.
The very good part: THE SCREEN IS SUPERB, NO MORE DIMMING, AUTO-ADJUSTMENT, NO MORE BRIGHTNESS OR CONTRAST FADING it's unbelievable! The contrast is much better, no more washed out colors... I knew it was a software issue!!!
Now... I don't know if it's just a kernel problem or not. I need unlocked bootloader to flash TX kernel, right? With LB and Flashtool won't work (by frashing TX completely and flash over T firmware with kernel "excluded"...)
Help, help, help!

Do you have an idea? What should I do next?
You don't need unlocked BL to flash STOCK Xperia TX kernel. Stock kernel is signed by Sony and it will be accepted by your phone.
I don't know anything about fixing these problems, I'm no developer at all but I was thinking about creating a thread with some requests for TX libs and system files (WiFi etc)
Okay, I'll check if I could flash TX kernel over T original ROM somehow... And see if the kernel is the main problem of that annoying fade-in-out effect, washed colors etc.
So. Recently got my second transformer. After a few hours use it switched off and refused to turn on at full brightness - in the dark i could just just see icons on the homescreen. After a while it seemed to tun on again. Crazy. So i updated to and used latest 4.4.2 stock for a day, the screen was working perfectly at all brightness levels, uniform, no light bleed. Then i flashed a few of the available CM based roms. This morning, a few days in, i notice that the backlight is much much stronger on the right.
At low brightness it was completely ridiculous. Its like one of the rows of leds wasnt on at all. So i reflashed a backup i had from install day and now everything is just fine - uniform brightness, working perfectly. It seems to be a driver bug. But how did it survive me going from kernel to kernel?
So now im wondering if its a hardware issue... any thoughts?
Ive now noticed this happening on a number of occasions to different rows of the backlight - sometimes at bootom, sometimes at bottom and right. Anyone else seeing something like this?
Sounds like hardware to me...

I flashed the latest cm and this seems to have stopped happening so looks like driver issues. However, the screen continues turn off sometimes, and when it does it needs two presses of the power button to turn back on. Its a crazy thing asus - i had the last infinity too, sold it after a few months because it just wasnt as good as my nexus 10. And now this... pretty amusing.
Dunno why i keep buying asus. Must be my good experience with their motherboards or something... usually they also have excellent support and firmware updates.
so... I've had my N6 for about month and a half and last week decided to root, weird thing was, I DID NOT KNOW that there was a LED light on it ... while using stock, the LED light did not come on at all and only when i installed CM12 that i seen the light.
I want to go back to stock but i want the LED light for notifications. has anybody encountered this problem? how do i fix it ?
Stock does not support LED.
For me this is not an issue, why would I want an LED always flashing to show me I have notifications.
Went through the trouble of installing CM12 and you want stock?
Unless something was missing in CM12 like flaky bluetooth I would stick with custom ROMs

You don't want the light but i do ... preferences ...
installing wasn't trouble at all, my problem is that i feel like cm12 needs to get better and less buggy, the rom just started coming out so I wanna wait until most bugs are fixed, I was enjoying stock for a while, just wanted to test out cm12 to see where it was and for the way I like it, it's not ready.

Yes it does require root and you need the paid version of the app. I cannot believe the N6 didn't come stock with led notifications and double tap to wake. Beside the washed out/ way over saturated screen, I think I might return mine to ATT before my 2 weeks are over
Can't complain... Its huge but I kinda like it
Yes I was shocked at the light too.
Definitely should be enabled out of the gate.
Unlike the TINY one behind the HTC speaker grille with very limited viewing angle this one is bright and actually better IMO than Samsung's.

One thing to note is that for now with Light Flow the only colors for the LED are red green or blue. Or if you manually change the color with the built in light flow mixer you can make strange combinations with the top half of the LED being one color and the bottom half another.
Hi,
after great experience with moto z play I got myself moto z3 play just yesterday. I´m happy with the phone but there is one thing that bothers me and I havent found any solution yet.. I set up the phone, notications etc.. but the LED notification light is still turned on.. Does anyone know where to turn it off?
Thanks
good for you. i'd love to turn it on if there was one.
Well its actually pretty anoying.. Hardreset havent helped, so I got in touch with moto online support. It´s hardware issue, so I´m going for replacement..

yes, it is. in the lastest devices, LED indicates when battery is completely discharged, so blinks till is able to turn on. In other cases, it remains turn on to indicate a hardware issue.
