[Q] Any LED control app? (now that led is working)

Can you suggest me a good LED control app?
I was trying the full LightFlow App but it doesn't run really well. For example i set up it for Whatsapp but it blinks at the rate that i choosed only for the first 5 seconds, then it turns back to the whatsapp's default rate!
Thanks
Simple.. turn led control off in whatsapp then it won't over rule lightflow

nope, it doesn't work. The same with calendar: the LightFlow's notification works till the screen is on (i set screen to turn on 5 secs), when the screen shuts down the led turns white and "default" blink rate. And i set off the control of the LED by the calendar...
If then i press the power button and turn the screen on, the lightflow's notification works again till the screen shuts down again
P.s. lightflow is enabled in stamina mode
EDIT: it works if i turn off Stamina Mode... strange! there is a conflict

Try to white-list that app in the stamina mode.
As i said Lightflow is enabled (or whitelisted) in Stamina mode!
there is a conflict with Stamina Mode and lightflow or lightflow is working on your device???
So i'm searching another app

[LED notification] Partially working in Stamina Mode of Stock 4.2.2.

I remember in 4.2.2 release note, SONY committed LED notification issue resolved and LED would also work in Stamina Mode in 4.2.2.
The thing is it's only partially working after my testing. In Stamina Mode of 4.2.2, SONY just gives LED White light ONLY and Fixed frequency ONLY under Stamina, all your customerized light&frequency would not working under Stamina mode.
Example, If you set missed call with Red color & High frequency shining, when your screen is on, then LED goes like that way, once your screen off and the phone falls into Stamina mode, LED would only show White color with a slow&fixed frequency.
I'm not sure whether you encounter the same issue? I'm stock 4.2.2 Hong Kong Rom.
Any one else find a way around this?
Some people say disable backing up the Google account and reset the phone (I can't imagine what that has to do with an LED). Others say turn off stamina mode - this gets my LED working again, but I like to use stamina mode.

Did you try installing the Light Flow app from store?
Thanks, unfortunately Light Flow doesn't work on my phone. I have tried every setting. I chatted to Sony about this and they said that Stamina mode is directed to turn off LEDs but from customer feedback, they will change this in future software updates for phones.

I did try and I use Light Flow indeed, it's not working, SONY forbids 3rd LED control when L36h falls into Stamina Mode, it gives White Light&Fixed Frequency only.
Same here, shows only white LED for notifications but changes to appropriate color when screen is unlocked :-/

I see the exact same thing: tested with Whatsapp, color Green: in stamina mode with whatsapp as exception entered. Upon pressing the power button to light up the screen // go to unlock page, it turns green.
I asked Sony this in their chatroom, they said Stamina mode is responsible and it's designed to do that. They said that given the strong feedback that consumers don't like it, that it would be changed in future updates...that's all I got.
Ok I am just gonna come out and say it...my LED notifications work normally, show all the correct colours and such,,,even with Stamina mode turned on...I haven't touched anything. I'm on 244.
Sometimes, when I plug my phone to charge with stamina on, indicator doesn't turn on until I wake screen up.
I had same issue with whatsapp, but after I put it in Stamina apps list, it receives notifications and LED works (using blue for whatsapp)

[Q] problem with brightness

Hello! I have strange problems with backlight
1) back light is turned off -- i can't see anything on the screen with the day light. Changing the brightness in Settings/Display don't help.
2) but, after power off+power on, backlight is OK for 10 seconds, and turns off right after that.
I find the guy with the same problem,but on droid 2 -- youtube.com/watch?v=RxHqN_lycG8
Btw, in "AP Fastboot" mode ("M" key+PowerOn), backlight is don't turn of.
I try some ROMs, they all don't work for me. Only "kexec CM10" ROM have one difference: if I turn the phone off and on, the backlight is turning on for the 1/2 of second, I can see the lock screen, and after that it is turned off...
What can it be? How can I fix it? Any ideas will be very appreciated! I very like my Droid3,and want it back

You'll have to try to turn the brightness up manually. It may be a broken light sensor. If you get in the right light you might be able to see the background and be able to turn it up.

In the dark room, I can see everything on the screen. Unfortunately, brightness in Settings/display does not affect the backlight on my device.
I set the brightness to the maximum, but it still too dark
Is it possible that the problem is in flexible cable?

LED Constantly On

I've got an issue with my camera flash LED. Sometimes after being in my pocket for a while, I'll notice heat or see the light shining through my pants, and find the LED is on. Not flashing, just constantly on.
The "flashlight" in the G4's settings is not toggled, and when I try to toggle it, it says that I can't use the flashlight while the LED is in use. I can't find any other running apps that would cause this or even use the LED, so I'm stumped, and my battery gets drained pretty quick!
Also, if anyone knows how to turn KnockOn off, I would love to know how. That could actually solve the LED issue too, if the screen is getting turned on and manipulated by my thigh while the phone is in my pocket.
Thanks!

I personally never experienced the LED turning on by itself. Also - Reading your comment, looks like you set the "knock code" and want to turn it off?

No, just the double-tap to wake. I think it's getting randomly activated in my pocket, and I don't use it much, so I'd rather disable it.

Night Light default

There's a yellow tint that automatically turns on at night. I have the blue light filter turned off, but it still turns on, has anyone else noticed this?

I haven't noticed that but it might be a safety feature they force implement? Don't know. That both good and bad though if it's forced on.

Turns out the stock android night light settings were carried over when I signed into my Google account. The setting is hidden on the Note, but still there.
