Is there a way to turn off the blinking light on the front near the antenna? It really annoys me.
Granted having it come on when you are charging is fine, but the constant blinking gets on my nerves.
Try finding a silver sticker, cut to size and stick over the light, the charging indicator is also available under settings/power so you arent losing much. Heath Robinson rules.

Does anyone know how to disable (turn off) the green and orange battery led's when the regular powercord is attached, the led's are quite bright at night

Put a rubber band around it or lie it on top of somthing soft faced down (that's what I do)
No softwareway to turn it of that I know of, maybe when you've got root and stuff. But the options I mentioned arent that invasive (hope i say i right)
You're supposed to actually CLOSE your eyes when sleeping...
Or you can be like me; needing lights to be able to sleep. I would go nuts if it was pitch black around me when trying to sleep
Since I knew everyone would think I lost my mind, I verified this for weeks before posting it...so here it goes!
When I charge the device at work (with the power on), it sits on my desk about 16 inches under my overhead cabinet that has fluorescent lights underneath. The lights somehow triggers screen actions on my HD2! It's the strangest thing I've ever seen! After about 30 seconds, the device looks like a ghost is randomly tapping the screen, randomly starting programs!
This NEVER EVER happens in any other condition--outside under sunlight or while the device is on any other surface where the fluorescent light is higher up, like on the ceiling. I have no problems with using the device otherwise.
It's just strange and I'm wondering if anyone else has ever seen this...
hmm interesting.
Might there be power running up inside the wall near the phone too? PC and monitior around it?
could be patches of field building up just enough to fool the capacitive screen, or maybe exciting the grease on teh screen or some such.
Course there has been a lot of talk about ghost taps, is it really only ever happening there?
Could be you need to change the starter plug in the fluorescent, if its a standard strip, they can hold quite a charge, and if its on its way out it could be losing charge to the air.
Especially when you look at how many electrical items we have on/near our desks, easy to build up a standing charge.

Someone also mentioned the fact that the flicker on my fluorescent desk lamp could be the cause. I saw a video where someone was able to "tap" their capacitive screen using beams of light, lasers, etc.

Picked up a Thunderbolt and tonight while making a call at night I noticed the alert LED glows dim red and kinda flickers whenever I'm on a call. Can anyone verify that this is normal behaviour or do I have a defective phone?
The only thing that changes color is my notification bar. Is your phone plugged in?
no, not plugged in- i first noticed it while taking a walk. on second look it's a dim, somewhat flickery orange.
yeah i see that too. maybe thats the proximity sensor? idk.
I went to the Verizon store and Best Buy also and looked at the demo models- all 3 appeared to behave the same as mine with the faint orange/red LED on while on a call, so I'm guessing that's normal behavior. The salesman thought it was the screen that was lighting up the LED, but I turned off the screen and you could still see the LED was on.
Hi. 2-3 days before I did a Jelly Bean 4.1.1 update to my S3 from kies. (My country has DLJ1 release of JB). After the update i noticed some LED problem. When plugged my phone to plug, i noticed that my LED's Brightness has decreased (the red one, while plugged in). I plug out and plug in lots of times and only few of them shows bright LED. Also these bright LEDs loose it brightness again in 1-2 mins.
I tried the LED on notifications also. The same problem occurs again. Most of times the brightness is low from its usual.
Firstly i though it was a hardware problem and open test of my s3 from *#0*# and test my LEDs lots of time. In "EVERY" of the test, the LEDs are bright as sun and bright as usual before. So i start thinking that is a software/firmware problem.
Note: I also read a comment in another forum, someone also complain about this issue on "Charging Battery problem on JB.
So is this problem is usual and known or what. Do you know the reason and solution. How can i fix it? Thank you for your replies...
This is surely a widespread problem, I've found it too. As soon as I flashed official JB, I noticed the LED wasn't as bright. I suppose it's not a serious problem, but it isn't right.
Hi,
Happens the same here, with DLIJ4 ROM.
[]'s
Only affects the red charging notification and is a feature, not a problem. Less glare.
You make it sound like the end of the world... how sad.
Firstly i though like that but: If it is a feature why i can see very bright red LED while charging sometimes. As I said before, 90% times the brightness is low. However also as i said before in few times I saw bright red LED after a moment its gone again. If it is feature, is it normal ?
Also this happens in blue (notification) LED sometimes..
So i dont think as it is feature...
Not seen it on other colours, red is always dimmer than it was on ICS. I recall seeing somewhere that it was deliberate...
This is a feture. The LED brightness is now regulated automatically, depending on surrounding light.
I also tried in very dark room and also tried in under the lamp. But brigthness of LED is not change anyway I dont understand this ...
It seems that the surrounding light level is checked only when the charger is plugged-in and then in rather long interval.
It is quite bright, especially at night. Is there a way to control its brightness?
My Xperia 1 III is rooted if that's needed.
Thank you.
I just put the phone screen facing down
This is a technical forum and expects technical response to the asked question.
That's weird. My xqbc62-v notification LED is dim and has a narrow viewing angle. I can only see it at night.
I think there are multiple hardware revisions of this phone. My first phone was purple and crashed constantly. I returned it and bought a new one later. It's purple, but so dark that it looks back except under direct sun.
I see what you mean now. The BC62 notification LED used to track ambient light and it was always relatively dim. Starting with the Android 12 update, it's max brightness all the time. It's annoying at night.
Yep I can confirm that the LED is much brighter after A12 update. I charge the phone wirelessly at night beside my bed so putting it face-down is not an option. ;-)
What I have found to work is completely unscientific but works every time for me. I use a cable so not sure if it will do the same for wireless. After I plug it in I too notice that the LED is too bright. So I wait a minute or more and unlock the phone with my fingerprint (while the charging cable is still plugged in) and then double tap the screen to relock the phone. I use Nova Prime as my launcher which allows me to double tap to lock. Usually doing this makes the LED dim down considerably. Sometimes I have to do it 2 or 3 times but it always ends up working. YMMV
Anyone knowing a 2ay to disable the LED while charging? Maybe via adb command?
