Hello,
I'm new to Huawei and one thing I noticed about my P10 is the very faint notification light. From a little distance it is very hard to notice.
I've tried installing Lights Manager, but changing the brightness there doesn't seem to do anything.
Does anyone have a way of increasing the brightness of the notification light on the P10?
Thx
I just got the phone and Yes my notification LED is SO DIM AND USELESS. I tried to use light manager and seems like the brightness is already the highest. Will pop by the shop in the weekend to see if it's my set problem or all sets are like that.

Mine is faint too. Or at least I find it that way coming from Sony Xperia phones where the notification LED was very bright and you can see it even on sunlight... Sony also used different colors for different notifications - here is green only unfortunately... Hope Huawei fix this in some future updates....

Hi all,
actually it has colors too. On Whatsapp, if you choose white or blue the notification light will change to that color. Problem is that there is no way to configure light colors for the rest of notifications, unless you install some notification light management app which I had once in a previous phone.
About the intensity, yes, it's a bit faint. But, personally I prefer it against Samsungs that I owned previously in which notification lights were so bright that at nights it illuminated my room when sleeping (and if it blinked, even worse!).

useless tiny notification on LED. This is factory dumb design.
I actually like the brightness. Coming from a N5 where the LED was brightening up the whole room when someone sent you a message at night, the p10s subtle notification is much better.

The backlight notification is very dim compared to the vibrant. Does anyone else have.this issue or is there a way to turn of the brightness?
Is the brightness of the phone too dim? Or just the pulldown notification bar?
I think he is talking about the LEDs for the bottom buttons. When you have BLN enabled they turn on with any notification you get. I have seen them be a lot brighter on the Vibrant than on my Captivate.
Have you considered trying NoLED from the Market? Works great!
I have seen some who have allowed the lights to be brighter by removing some of the coating on the inside but this requires disassembly which is not difficult but may be more than you want to attempt. Personally I love the fact that they are dim...the brighter lights attract your eye when in a low light environment.
I know we dont have a led notification. but i saw a red led while my phone is charging and someone was calling me. and when i look my phone on the sunlight(not straight, with a little inclination) i see a black bar( darker than phone's top) left of the htc logo.
so, we have NOT a led notif officially. can we make it glow?

i think its a light sensor, if you ring someone and they answer, put your thumb over that bit and the screen goes blac, move your thumb away and it lights up again so i dont think it can be done
thats the proximity sensor;we have no notification led from what i can tell(i dont really need one though but it would have been nice)

but i saw it was glowing red i swear and that was maybe a bug cos the screen was in battery screen when i got call
it does glow red when you get/make a call but i dont know the technical details,all i know is that its a proximity sensor that activates when calls are involved or with apps(changing music with it etc)
It's a proximity sensor, it cannot be controlled. It lights whenever out needs to

you can control the sensor via apps

But it is not bright enough to be used as notification LED
You really wouldn't be able to configure the light. It's part of a sensor, ffs

you CANNOT use the sensor as a notification led.
i was saying you can control the sensor with apps like wave control etc. not only when you get calls.
with wave control you can change tracks,pause the music player etc by using the sensor to detect hand movement.

By switching the sensor on and off we can make the led blink but as i said the led is not bright enough and will not be visible in most of the cases, it will also lead to battery wastage

Did you drop your phone into water? Usually that red light glows when Then phone becomes wet / moist

I can't even look at mine they are so bright. In fact I just looked at them for less than a second and now I see spots as I'm typing this. There might be something wrong with your unit.
Mine aren't bright either. I compared to my N4 and the N4 is clearly brighter, despite having 1 led vs 2. I don't mind the amber tint. It helps take better photos because the color temperature more closely matches the indoor lighting conditions where you're likely to use the flash.
I also feel that the Nexus flashlight isn't as bright as it could be. However, the light on my last phone was similar, and I installed an app that increased the brightness for it. It worked great, but the LED ran much hotter after that.
I suspect that the reasoning for the dimmer flashlight is to not prematurely wear out the LEDs, or degrade their performance when they're needed for camera flash.
When taking photos, the flash output is quite surprising. I don't think it's a hardware issue, rather intentional software programming that runs the flashlight at a dimmer output. As a quick flashlight, I find the N6's lights adequate.
Hi folks,
So I recently sent in my Z3Compact into repair due to the faulty audio jack (literally a week before my 1 year warranty ran out). They've fixed the audio issue but I now noticed that the notification LED light is super weak/dim.
I've ran the diagnostics test and it'll change colors from the green > purple > red but the level of intensity is just flat and dim.
I've downloaded Lightflow + other LED Notification apps to test different colors but same issue. I can see it in the dark dimly but I cannooot see it in daylight or in indoor lighting.
The phone was factory reset when I got it back but I figured I'd try it again. No luck.
What do you guys advise? It's really frustrating as I usually have my phone on silent and often rely on the subtle light notifications.
Thanks for your time!
Hey all,
As the title says, I think there is a bug regarding the notification LED that's on the top of the pop-up camera. I noticed that because when I received a notification from Viber app (that in RGB lights it's normally purple) it didn't light up the notification portion but it lighted up the other led of the selfie camera so u could see blue light coming from the inside from the gap. (In other apps like systems apps or facebook etc. it's working fine)
So my understanding is that the pop-up mechanism has 2 LED chips, one on the left of the camera and one on the right. The left one is also illuminating the notification light. (or there is a separate 3rd one). Thing is, our notification LED isn't RGB, so some apps that wanna show a different color (like the purple of viber) mess up with the lights and turn on the wrong ones. I think Xiaomi needs to restrict the control of the led chips and fix this bug.
Anyone else noticed this?
Thanks.
The light is a pita ,IMHO ,had to point the phone towards me all the time,from the teardown I notice only two light of the same color tone,blue unit blue led,red unit is red ,mine is white which is blue led
