Long time lurker of XDA from many many years!
Question: does the hardware support different LED colors? I'm not familiar with the technology. Mine only shows Red and Green. Are there any apps that might enable custom colors or is it hardware limited?
Thanks.
Thats it no more....
Yup. Hardware limitations. Some things (like light flow) will also give you an orange color option by combining the red and green light together.
Hi all,
I just recently purchased the Z1 and have a question regarding the Sony Z1 notification light.
I noticed our phone flashes/stays solid color of white, blue, green, and maybe other colors, but I was wondering what each color meant and what keeps it from staying solid? Is it all random or do different apps set off different colors and/or causes it to flash or stay solid?
Different apps set off different colors and/or causes it to flash or stay solid.

Hi, I have question regarding the notification led.
I have set it to green for notification and red for warnings but I still see sometimes blue light for notifications, why? Is there also any method to change colors for different apps? And if I get 2 notifications from 2 different apps with diffetrent colors what then? Who has priority or maybe it will blink in 2 colors one after another? (that would be great)
I looked to see if I could find this answer on here and on Google please flame away if it's a repost. In the chroma app I set the led color to red. I tell it to pulse if I get a notification,but the pulse color is not the color I selected it is a light blue is this normal?
Thanks
The colour you set in Chroma is just for the passive effect. When you get a notification it tries to find the most prominent colour in the app's logo which sent the notification and uses that. It's meant to make it more useful than a plain old notification LED since you can intuitively determine which app sent the notification just by looking at it.
So yeah, that's normal

Gotcha I will pay closer attention to it seems a little odd to use light blue for Hangouts which is green. Maybe it's just not that accurate
It has been reported - XDA, ZenTalk - by multiple Rog2 owners, that their displays show red discoloration under certain circumstances.
The two contributing factors seem to be screen refresh rate (higher freq -> more red tint) and brightness (lower brightness -> more red tint).
Steps to reproduce the issue:
1) Go to a dark room.
2) Add "Screen Frequency" toggle in the status bar, and lower the status bar to show the toggles;
3) Lower the brightness to 40%;
4) use the toggle to swap frequency from 60Hz, 90Hz and 120Hz.
If your unit is affected, the color of the dark grey areas on screen will increasingly shift toward red as you increase the refresh rate.
Is your phone showing these symptoms? Please share your experience by participating in the poll above.
Same here, hope its just SW issue and will be fix on future updates ?
Yep, I find it most annoying when i'm in a dark room and viewing images or talking over video whatsapp, the pics/vid colours are really dark and reddened, especially skin tones...
to all who answer the poll, pls take photos from the display with another phone and tell us their varriant
specially those who said no!
it seems like my phone doesnt have 40% brightness rofl.
it goes from 39 to 41.
but i dont have that issue with under 40% anyway..
Just a quick question, has anyone tried with an actual grey background? I get the same effect on the screen when the top bar is pulled down but if i look at a grey color palette i do not have this issue. I think its just a issue with the color overlay that asus has set on the top and bottom bar.
Yeah, the red tint is there under 30% brightness at 90 and 120hz, but not as intense as in the picture ?
Only noticeable with nightlight on for me. At lower than lowest brightness controlled by app.
I've only noticed it with the pull down quick menu. but TBH im 50% or above brightness anyways. You can tell the oled panel is red biased - something thats common in industry with oled manufacturers. Samsung went through a yellow and blue bias, Sony had a red tint issue.. Doesnt really phase me as the phone is otherwise sublime
Look, I am telling you, all the units have the same effect.
Those who voted no they are liers that are practising fanboyism or they don't have the phone at first place.
Anyway, if you cannot get along with that then I advise you to return it/sell it and get a device from another brand.
change Theme will help maybe other dark theme.
because white theme not that effect
if anybody vote No, I think they don't use dark theme with orange color.
Yeah there is no lottery here as all displays are affected. Just people in denial or people with the wrong settings who say they have no red tint
not sure if it's just me, but mine seems to have more red tint when the refresh rate is set to 90hz compared to 120, and no red tint at all in 60hz

Would you mind if you can take a screenshot with low and high brithness just to show how it looks as you saying you are not affected by the red tint would be greatly appreciated

You have to take photos of your screen with another phone or camera.
Screenshots are grabbed directly from the frame buffer of the phone, i.e. they show what the phone intends to display, not what it actually looks like on screen.
So in my device its like this,
at 0-30% brightness with dark mode on
60hz - 40% red tint, 90hz - 10% red tint, 120hz - 30% red tint on grey backgrounds .
at 40% brightness and after the red tint goes away.
so weirdly there is less red tint in 90hz mode.
People who have affected devices, can you highlight which variant of ROG2 you have?
For me:
Tint : No
Variant : Tencent
P.s: i believe that the indian variant is mostly being reported to have this issue.
