Hey All
Just wondering if the LED at the top of the phone (in the speaker) can be changed to a different colour??
Also Ive never noticed my hardkeys light up?? Are they suppose to??
Cheers Peeps!
Change the LED
your hardkeys should light up whenever you tap them i should think, would be good also if they activated whenever the softkeys are used also
No,you cannot change the colour of the LED at the top of the phone.

Why wouldn't you? He never asked if it was easy. If he is willing to break down the phone desolder the LED then solder in a new one I don't see why it couldn't be changed.

So I just got my replacement Touch Pro (t7272). and everything's working great, but the LED on the phone is not blinking at all... not at start up or anything... am I losing it or isn't there suppose to be a blinking LED in the earpiece?
My Kaiser had software to change the color of the LED depending on the response (msg, missed call, etc...), but can't find the app now...
really? 18 views, and no one can even tell me if they have a blinking led in the ear piece?

It is not a status light. It is a light sensor.

Maybe he is talking about the ring on the middle button? You know the white one that likes to run in circles when you get a text message or a missed call...?

Hello everyone,
I'm thinking to buy this very good devices but I read on some italian sites that there are some batch that have notification led bugged.
I'm explain better: they told that the led is shifted from the normal position and isn't so visible as other batch.
Anyone of you have this problem?

nope, mine is at the right position and works well

Thanks.
Can you do a photo so I can compare with the one that I will buy today?
Will seems strange but on internet there aren't any photo of the one s notification led.
For me hte LED, comparing to the Desire is less noticable
I don't know if this is a bug or a feature, but the led is definitely too back behind the ear-piece net.
Just got my grey one s yesterday so not sure what is normal what is not in terms of notification light.
My light is located at the second row of the speaker holes, the 5th hole from the left. it is yes quite small compared to my incredible s, and during daylight, you have to be close to the phone in order to see it.
Is it normal?
This is my same location of hte led as well

my led is in the same location and it is much less visible as compared with my 2 years old desire...
The problem is not where is the led, but the fact that notification is still buggy after update 1.78.401.2: the other morning for example I had 3 emails but there was no led blinking. Others too reported led not working or working just for the first 5 minutes...

I have the opposite problem. My LED flashes for new emails, but does not stop when I access the mail app! (Still on original 1.53 base).
Have some problem.
LED blinking for a few minuts and after don't blinking
Mine is just fine.
Mine was useless. You can't even see the led from the sides,only when u look pretty much straight at phone. Led is behind the speaker grill.

Also coming from Desire, this is a topic of concern for me as well, since I usually look at my phone from an angle when it isn't in my hand...
Same issue with the One X

good and cool idea as far as design goes, but most definitely not good for notifications
Mine is international unlocked, but with french CID. The led is too down and catches up just the first row of holes on the grill.
I must say it's completely unusable. I'm looking for a way to hardware fix it with some light conductive material.
Maybe a software patch to boost up the LED current will be also needed.
On HTC Mozart it's also under the speaker grill, but it's way to bright compared with the One S one.
mine works except I notice it only blink for like 5 minutes and turn itself off.
Mine is kinda useless, since it's almost impossible to see it unless you hold the phone in your hands...
Hey, I bought used Nexus 5 but notification light is too weird. I tried another rom but problem didn't solved. Anybody saw this before?
Huh what? What are you asking? What is the issue?

That's not a very good picture, I can't make a determination based off of that. If you post a clearer one I can definitely help you.
It kind of looks like a Chinese replacement screen. I'm not 100% sure with the picture supplied, but I'm going to guess that's what's going on.

You are probably right. Cause my Nexus 5 is white but handset(ear speaker) is black. Is there any way to solve issue?
@ldubs & @drago10029
Sorry for picture quality. On picture my notification led is lighting faulty.

Well respawn, you can test it with some LED notification apps. Change the color see what happens. Otherwise you can replace the light yourself if it's damaged or return the device (assuming the seller didn't say the LED light was broken) Hope it works out for you.

I tested, nothing changed except color.
Somebody told me maybe this yellow thing(under the picture) just moved. Is that possible?
I got a little money back. So it's not a big problem but i wanna fix it.

Test it out I say, only way to find out :good:
First of all I am not talking about Notification light.
A Red light in proximity sensor next to sony logo is always on when device is connected to wifi, or when connected to mobile data only whrn the arrow indicators appears.
This red light is on even if i disable adaptive brightness.
I am shocked why no one raised this quesrion.
Hence here I am.
I hope this is not intentional by Sony.
Coz ffs i cant get one thing to my mind that how it is helpful. It is rather annoying.
Anyone with a clue pls share.

It's on on my phone as well. It was also like that on my Xperia X
I call it the "I'm watching you." light. I think its the proximity sensor's lazer. I dont think it should be on 24/7, but then there is this "Led light's lifetime depends on how many times they are turned on/off" thing. May be it is some kind of an optimisation?

It definitely has to do with data recieving signals.
But whatever it is for I am concerned about battery life
It is just plain stupid of sony to not recognize this.
Coming from z5 I thought speakers were average on z5, but I doubt XZ even have any speakers at all.
Sound is that bad on XZ. I can barely listen to ringtone and I was sitting right next to the phone. What if we are in the other room or @ some distance? We' ll definitely miss the call.
Disable adaptive brightness and the flickery red dot will go off. I can only see it in a darkened room so it doesn't bother me. I'm looking at the screen lol!

I noticed just when i was reading your reply.

so u say that red light turns on only on lock screen...what happens when u unlock the phone is it still on (red light)? becouse mine is always on except when screen is locked and turned off course and then it turns on again when i turn the screen on...this is how sensor should work... If urs doesnt work that way then go send the phone to waranty... I wouldnt investigate anyomre just go to Sony.

Until yesterday it used to be always on, but now only on the lockscreen. It stays off when I unlock the device.
Why can't we seen to find the real use of that light?
Is it even a feature?

looks like this proximty sensor works that way by having red light turned on...so does ur adaptive brightnes still work after it turns off when u unlock the screen?i feel its faulty sensor!i can share u my experience with Z5...i had white spots on screen so i send it to repair and they replaced the screen but also they managed to break proxity sensor aswell... i actualy laughed out loud how can they be so careless ahhh nwm hope u fix it soon.

Well now I get it, atleast I think so.
Red light stays on if we turn on adaptive brightness.
It also turns on when data packets are being sent to our device (via wifi or mobile data)
But why? That is the main question here.
Previous devices never had this feature, and what diff does this make?
Looks like my adaptive brightness works fine.
Do you mean the light in the attachment?
It should be the infra-red light used by the proximity sensor anmd it is not meant to be seen by human. I can only take this from the camera of another device but I cannot actually see it.
Trust me, if you tries to use the camera of another device to view it, you will see it blinks a lot when the screen is on.

That is exactly what I am talkin about.
It is not supposed to be visible for naked eye until you use a camera.
This one just stays on. Doesn't blink.

OK so looks like im having a camera in my eyes LOL cuz i can see that red dot light constantly turned on...ill see what Sony will say about that.im gonna call waranty just for curiosity.maybe they know something
There may be some variation of the wavelength produced by that LED from device to device, while I cannot see it in my XZ, I can saw it in my last LG device. It won't cause any battery draining problem because either you see it or not, it is still blinking.
My God
This is not a problem
By using this proximity sensor our phone controls the automatic brightness setting.
which is called Adaptive Brightness

hey buddy we all know that but we just want to clarify why some ppl can see the light and some not.... read next time
Xperia X and XZs does this and its annoying, Sony obviously did a bad job in defining what's visible to humans.
