Any details on this would be good. Is it going to be similar to g nexus notification led which has to be the best, you can choise different colours etc?
Says RGB LED notification which suggests to me it can produce almost any colour.
That's brilliant, its a small feature but essential inmho. Not much info about this feature so thanks for sharing this.
I have found it kinda surprising that no on has touched on the led notifacations in reviews yet. The question in my mind isn't just is it an umlimited color palatte but also does it work before you pickup the handset? On the N1 you could see across the room that you had an email, text, etc. and this is what I'm hoping for with this phone. It has little point if you have to pick up the phone to light the led.

I didn't know some phones worked like that? I mean that you have to pick the phone up in order for the LED to light up... Which phones work like that? That sounds like a really dumb thing for a phone to do! The point of a notification LED is after all that you should be able to see the notifications without having to pick the phone up to check it, no?
I'm hoping it's like the Blackberrys. I miss BerryBuzz, had the option to set multiple colours to multiple events.
If its anything like nexus galaxy I will happy. Mind you had to root device only then was able to use the different colours.

I agree! Hopefully they would be more inclined to port BeBuzz over to Android once this device is out.

Hi everyone, I just got my HTC Amaze yesterday from Mobilicity. I came from an Evo 3d, so this isn't much of an upgrade but I'm enjoying my new phone so far!
However, one little thing is bugging me. There seems to be a pinhole in the side of the phone and it's apparent when the capacitive lights are on. I can see the light leaking through. Pics attached.
Is that a manufacturer's defect? Or is it typical?
I'm still within the timeframe for a refund/exchange, so just seeing if it's worth exchanging my phone...
EDIT: Apologies for any confusion. I meant the small pinhole of light on the edge of my device. I've updated pics to emphasize the part I'm referring to. The screen bleed isn't a huge issue for me, just that little pinhole of light that annoys me.

Only light leak I get is the buttons leaking onto the screen, but it's no anything bothersome, only shows on dark backgrounds, you should get it exchanged if possible.
^ thanks, yea i read about the light bleed at the bottom and I have some of that too. Doesn't bother me. But that pinhole really does! Will try to get it exchanged. Gotta work on relocking bootloader and unrooting then.

Lol, use hasoon's tool to relock and browse into system/app with a file explorer, delete supersu.apk and reboot, to unroot.
You can exchange all you want but you will still have the leak. I have one same area as yours on two devices and vote showing leaks in upper right and bottom right. To be honest it's really not that bad though. Phone has good power so I tend to let the leak not bother me

i had the same prob on my first amaze. it was way worst than yours but i got it replaced from t-mobile. that phone had a lot of problem.
If you use speedrom by eclipsremix the tweaks in the settings menu have an option to turn off the bottom button lights which will get rid of the bleed. At first it is a little ruff getting use to not being able to see them real well but after a day or two you get used to where the buttons are and you won't miss the lights at all. And actually it may be in the energy rom also bit I'm not 100% on that. But definitly works on speedrom. It's a great rom too especially if you like aosp. Very fast smooth and very nicely themed

This leak isn't the fault of the buttons but the screen itself escaping at the side for some odd reason.
Mine has a small amount in the lower left hand corner. I think its fairly common. My mytouch 4g has the same issue too, but it doesn't bother me with either device

Yes I saw that in the pic you posted but there is also bleed from the bottom buttons. If I were you I would try to get it replaced and when you do then you can turn off the bottom lights to prevent bleeding on the new phone.

Will try to talk to the store to see if I can get an exchange on Monday.
I unlocked my bootloader via HTCdev however. If I relock it now it'll show "relocked" (as per other threads)... will they refuse to exchange my device because of that? I think not because they're unrelated.. any thoughts?

If they're anything like t-mobile, they wouldn't check or care, since the device is gonna be refurbished and sent back as a replacement to any customer with device issues.
So I just got my SGSIII on ATT from SGSII on Sprint ( E4GT ) and was excited to try out lightflow. The phone is pretty sweet otherwise, but with lightflow seeing some odd issues. The first is the LED light always stays green, found this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1757028 ) Which states uninstalling it fixes the issue. However I don't want to remove it, I want it to work, lol. What are other peoples experiences with LightFlow? Does it work for you? I see that if I actually have a notification then lightflow will show it, however it's usually the wrong color, and it never blinks at all, always solid, and almost never the right color.
So if this is just a lightflow issue that's cool, I get it, the SGSIII is new, bugs are going to be there. But I was wondering if it was an issue with the LED itself, can the phone display more than orange, purple and green( I almost certainly think so ). If so, are you using anything else?
Thanks, going to email the dev in a bit, but thought I'd ask here first.
The dev has already acknowledged the issue and is supposed to be fixing it in the next update.

Wasn't completely sure if this would be more appropriate for General or Q&A so MOD's feel free to move if necessary and I apologize.
So I'm VERY excited to go and pick mine up from Verizon tomorrow (had to wait for payday ) but was curious, how sometimes you hear "oh some of the white version of such and such phone had this issue but the black version did not." I'm pretty skeptical on the validity of such claims, but HAS anyone noticed a difference? I know some people are reporting issues like screen not being as bright/sharp, some people saying they've seen lag/stutter, and others saying they were blown away and absolutely no complaints. I know that no 2 phones will perform exactly the same but what color did everyone end up getting and have you had any issues or not? Seeing if there was any kind of pattern developing, and since I'll have a case I'm not TOO concerned about a particular color but leaning towards the black due to the the ugly white bottom bezel on the white G3.
My white one has absolutely no issues whatsoever. I mean I did see a lil sharpness issues, but I also wear glasses so it could just be human error lol
I was originally getting the black, but changed my mind once I held the white one. I have no issues or stuttering. It does heat up when downloading all my apps but it didn't get any hotter than my old Galaxy Nexus.
White and perfect. No issues at all!
Black one here, within 2 hours after first startup it randomly restarted and bootlooped after that. Since then I have restored it and didn't make it through setup, it now wont turn on at all. Convienently right after verizon closed. I hadn't even begun to put my apps on it or anything was just messing around in settings and stuff. Hope getting another at verizon isn't a problem and hopefully it has no issues .
no issues with the black one here.
Rooted a white one and black one right after each other with no issues so far. Getting great battery life and performance on both.
610
no issues with the black one, it is the same phone, different color cases is all. you have to remember that this is the first North American release revisions of these phones that are "official" Any tech related gadget be it a phone or a computer part will have issues when they first release.

Did you happen to enable ART runtime? After I enabled ART I had couple lockups, and it restarted like 6 times while I was doing titanium restore (not sure if backing up the apps using Dalvik and restoring them while ART is enabled is a NONO but it might be) but the lockups I had I wasn't doing a restore. I factory reset, and didn't enable ART this time, and have had no issues.

Nope did not enable art, didn't root it happened right after I switched the lock screen unlock animation to circle. I got a reboot and a green screen saying kernel crash and from there I never had it start up to where I could do anything.
I've yet to have any issues with my black version. Even have it rooted and running ART with no problems. I'm starting to think this may just be a luck of the draw type thing.

I agree, anything new being mass produced/release there will inevitably be some kinks to work out. I just wanted to see if maybe there would be an emerging pattern. Definitely didn't want to get my phone and later find out "this color case had a slight defect causing X problem." Especially since this is the first time I've gotten a phone right when it was released been trying to be as informed as possible. I appreciate the feedback everyone! It does seem to just be luck of the draw at this point (which is more or less what I was expecting), but keep em coming if you'd like! :good:

Oh I understand. Generally I wait a few months before grabbing up a device. Give everyone time to find the issues and get the manufacturers to fix them. However, last time I did that was with the S4, and it cost me the ability to unlock the bootloader. So...here I am.
My white one doesn't overheat or have much UI lag, but it scores below the GS4 in AnTuTu X and some games don't run as well as expected. Have a feeling that the SoC isn't ramping up as it should.

I'm with you on this, I wear glasses too... I do notice sharpness issues. I don't know if this is due to the IPS display or the fact that nothing is capable of 2k resolution yet.
Although I don't think it matters much what color they've decided to make the phone, anything is possible I guess. That said my White one is running great.

Black is Fine
I have a black G3. Rooted and running fine. Had problems with ART causing lockups, lag, etc. Went back to Dalvik and the phone is sweet.
Please can someone confirm if the led notification is support all colours (RGB )?
I have seen yellow and green so far when charging, haven't noticed anything else yet.
Why does the ability to have different colors on the notification light mean anything though? That is the last thing I personally care about when considering phones.
I'm not trying to be rude, just curious as to why it is important to your situation.

It's important to me. I use LIghtflow to turn on different colors, some flash at different rates, to notify me of many different things. Allows me to know if I have something that may need my attention w/o having to turn the phone on. Lack of this capability would be the straw that sends me to a different phone.

it does kinda of suck that we can't control it, and have to get a app for it, not saying it's a hassle, but asus, should of had something like this. Hopefully the custom roms that come out for this, will have this included.
I Ann a bit confused about this topic. I may have taken it wrong. I understood it to be that only the 3 Coors were possible, meaning that even with Lightflow I wouldn't be able to present other colors.
If Lightflow will be able to generate different colors, then I'm ok with it.
All colors are pretty much available if my understanding of it is right. If I remember Fom my reading a while back, multiple colors can be the.ed on at a different brightness to make different colors show up on the notification.
My note 4 only had red, green and blue and you could use the app for Samsung phones to make any color you needed.
Sadly Lightflow isn't working for me, so i'm not sure what else to use until something done to change it, if there was some kind notepad that controls all of this, i will change it.

Oooohhh...Lightflow not working. Not good.
However, I might mention that I've had problems with LF at different times with different ROMS, phones etc., and ultimately it was just finding the right settings. You might try emailing the DEVs for input.
There are other apps you can try.
Keep us posted if you get it working.

i did try others ones as well like light manager and led pro. None of them work for this... we need a dev to fix this issue up, but until everything is released from ASUS for the sources, these topics we are creating for now, will have to be halted, until this is done.
[sigh][/sigh]...It seems every phone I'm considering has a major issue, or doesn't meet the specs I want on my next phone.
Because I install so many apps and use a lot of then consistently, I want 6 GB of RAM. Sui that limits my list right there.
I've been down to the Oneplus 3, and the Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe. The Oneplus had inaccurate GPS. And note this problem on the Asus.
Both of those issues nix a phone for me.

sorry for double posting, but i did talk to asus support and they told me this on the LED indicator...
Unfortunately I am afraid that currently there isn't a way for you to customize the LED indicator, as it is*a combination of both HW and SW working.
For the unlock*bootloader, ASUS does not actually asssit with unlocking of the Android Bootloader. I must advise that you do so at your own risk, as once the boot loader is unloked it will void your warranty.
But if you insist to do that, we will transfer customers' wishes to the related department for further development.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us again for assistance.

I guess not until we find someone that could try to custom a way to change these colors to what we want. More info from Asus, if you want me to ask them anything else about this, let me know.
====
For the LED indicator, there are only 3 colors in zf. *Red green and yellow.*
Yellow = full charge
Green blinking = notification*
Red blinking = low battery
To turn on led notification go to settings>>display>>led on
Apps with notification light settings will not control Zf led lights as it is not allowed by Asus system and all led lights and notification are always set to their default which is indicated above.

Yeah that deal breaker, but the phone isn't bad, and there is still a way to wake the phone up when you get a notification, if you use the app screen notifications, it will light up the phone , showing what message you get. as for the LED , yeah it will suck for now on that, despite how good everything is until they let boot loader go , so we can mod this phone.
