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.

About two weeks ago I turned on my Auto Brightness. Last week the screen just started going dim randomly. To be clear, its so dim I can't see anything unless its at a particular angle. Also (depending on how bright the screen was prior to going dim) if I apply pressure to the sides of my phone, just above the Menu and the red End button, the screen will become bright again. Since then I have turned off Auto Rightness and performed a hard reset yet the problem still occurs. Can someone please help me?
It hasn't been dropped, or been subjected to moisture of any kind. I've only had it for about two months. It was a replacement from Asurion Insurance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Auto brightness on our phones hasn't really been all that great, I've had random dimming or it'll go super bright in a dark room. mostly the issue is that auto brightness on phones is not all that great, they don't monitor the brightness of your surrounding but rather your face and that's where the problem lies.
My Auto Brightness isn't enabled. Yet the screen still goes super dim.

Make sure it isn't on, because it shouldn't happen if you have it set to a custom level
Haha damn, don't like the sound of that. Thanks for the help!

No problem, let me know if you need anything else!
Hi,
I find the fact that the buttons under the screen keep lit until you turn the screen off annoying. I often use the tab in the dark and even if you cover them up some of their light "contaminates" the bottom area of the screen, especially with dark images.
Is there any known way to get them working back as they did on Froyo? Maybe if someone could extract the old Froyo backlight driver I could try it on my tab...

I think its a great feature, especially for using in the dark as I often pressed wrong button accidentally. However I do think there should be some sort of setting to adjust when its on all the time and when its not etc.
Try an app called blinker I think from the market.

So my one has this annoying issue. Every time I rotate it into landscape it auto dims to around 50%. Anyone have any ideas it's really agitating me.

When you rotate your phone you might be covering the light sensor with your thumb or palm while holding it.trying setting screen brightness to a value instead of auto and check if the screen still gets dim. If yes it might be a hardware issue

is your thumb covering the light sensor when you rotate? (the two black dots in the top left corner in portrait mode)
sometimes even if covered for a split second it will cause a dim condition
Come on guys, give me a bit more credit than that lol. No I was not covering it. Oddly enough it's only doing it either in the car dock or just coming out of the car dock. Hasn't done it since then. Will retest it when i get off work.

Are you wearing Sunglasses in your car? With polarized sunglasses, the screen will look dimmed in landscape.

Running a Navigation program in Car Dock? it might have a setting for screen brightness even if it was running in the background.
Dimming Problem
Hi Guys,
Can you try my app for your dimming problem and let me know what you think ?
It's an easy to use application that allow you to manage your screen and can allow you to stop it from dimming. :good:
It can be configured for specific apps also. Please give me your feedback!

Using some other auto brightness apps might help.Stock one drains too much battery
can anyone confirm me what is "that" thing tippy in our device? i just try shaking my device today and notice that something is tippy in it. Sorry for my bad english.
What's tippy?
I think he means a ticking sound, likea lose part or something.
Don't experience that with my T though
Sent from my phone using XDA Premium
The only thing I can think of that is supposed to move inside these phones is the vibration motor with its off-centre fly wheel/cam. If you can get your vibration motor to work, does the phone still tippy when you shake it? I was going to link to a vibration app from Play store but they seem to be quite....errr....innappropriate!
Everything else should be secure. I do not get any rattling with mine.
Yes. Lool like something is broken or lose in the device. Ive tried it several time, and the result is still same.hmm but all seems working fine.. Blootooth, wifi, data, vibrate, orientation and so on..

I also encounter a little "rattle" when shaking my Xperia V a lot. It seems to be somewhere near the camera, but I am not quite sure what could cause that sound. Who else can confirm that? Is this a problem or normal behaviour?
I think you mean how it carries the vibration when you knock it. I think it has something to do with NFC.or making it more shock resistant.
Hi,
Is it possible to have a vibration over the Home/Back buttons?
I can't feel them when doing it, I even barely can see the led since it is not a bright white.. it is a bit grey

Thanks, managed to get it to work.
Any idea about making the led stronger? I barely can see it when it's dark/night
