Question on disabling hw leds - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know there have been qurstions asked on this topic but i would like to ask if an app is able to disable this leds?
I personally hate those leds at night since its too darn bright when ive dimmed my screen. I recently stumbled across an app, Lightning Bug, which has a feature to turn off said leds. Unlike my screen filter, this app actually does disable the leds as long as i am in the app. Would it be possible to port this feature to the X10? Im no tech guy so i may be ignorant on this stuff. Hope someone can clarify.
Apologies if i double posted. XDA App FC during initial submission..

I use that app to turn the screen brightness down at night and also disable the ugly HW Leds.

Thx for replying but i already am using that app. Its not disabling the leds on my X10. Its updated and from haxor so its the same as yours.

Have you checked the option that disables the leds? Is set to let the leds on by default.

Dont worry, i did that. But my problem is solved. Thanks for your help. I tried reinstalling app, no help. So i reflashed my X10 and reinstalled. Now its working.

LED Notification Light apps?

I only found one so far that works. Its called "LED me know BETA"
You need to disable compatibility mode and it works.
Any others? Would be nice if I could change google voice notification light but guess that's not too possible. Gah they really need to improve their app

yeah there is. one is made specifically by motorola for the droids, I tried and am using it: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.motorola.dlight&feature=search_result
the first time you open it it be be on the "on" position, but the led wont be on. you gotta toggle it off and on again for it to work from then on.

Worked like a charm for me. Thanks
found a problem with it, the LED stayed on when I hit a menu button and jumped to the home screen. Task manager says the app is not running. When you open Droidlight again no light bulb appears. Anybody else have that problem?
Is there a root app to make it brighter? This brightness level won't work for me.

Had the same problem with the motorola app. In fact (I use ADW so not sure if that was playing a part) last night while playing I ran in to a situation with the led stuck on and the app wouldn't relaunch. Very flaky. I think I'll wait until someone makes a widget app specifically for us.

Tiny Flashlight + LED should work on Atrix. Also, it has a widget.

I had the same issue with Tiny Flashlight that I did with DroidLight (I actually tried it first). (Though I will say the LED never got stuck on - it was just slow and would get confused between the state of the widget and the state of the LED).

Screen Wake for text....

If you're running a ROM which doesn't wake the screen for a text, and that annoys you, try SMSawake. Its simple and works flawlessly. No pop ups. Nothing. Just screen on for the length of time you set...
Sorry if posted before. On phone and can't search very easily.

or you can simply use any number or messaging apps that give you way more control over the system than the stock messaging app (handcent, for example, lets you set the screen wake with or without popup, and change notification tones for different users, among others. i'm sure gosms and other messaging apps give similar advanced customization as well).
We all know that. For those that don't want a spaceship for a messaging app, there's this tiny simple solution.
Works very well...

There is probably an option in the messaging app that allows the screen to turn on (depending on the rom).
Most disable it for BLN support.

Not in any messaging app I've seen. I've only seen it in 3rd party apps. And you can have the screen wake and BLN. It just activates when the screen turns off.

I have it in my messaging app. Also Bln on ics with stock messaging app does not work of the screen is activated when receiving a message, so screen wake needs to be disabled for it to function properly.

Anyone's led light acting funny?att version

Quick question. Does anyone find that their led doesn't blink with non stock apps? Like I have gosms and the led lights up and stays lite instead of blinking same with like yahoo mail. I also notice if I use say lightflow and pick say "blue" for an led color the color will show up "red" no matter what color I select it will show up a different color on the led. I just find this weird.

I havn't had any issues with the Gmail app. But I do know that setting g custom LED settings in certain apps can sometimes make the LED act funny you may want to check settings in individual apps.

Uninstall Light Flow and you will be all set. It has some bugs with the S3 sadly. The dev knows about it and will fix it in the next update.

I have read that it is a known bug. Hopefully it gets fixed in the next OTA update.

glad I wasn't the only one and was able to check to see others are dealing with the same. I just got my verizon phone yesterday and it has been driving me bonkers tryingt o figure out why it wasn't working! I knew I wasn't that android ignorant!
Not sure if the latest light flow fixes this, but a brand, spanking new release is out!

Screen brightness increase

I was wondering if anybody else has this issue, I keep my phones brightness at 50% but when i open the stock browser it increases it to 100%, it's not a horrible thing (other than burning my corneas out) it's just annoying. Anybody else have this problem, or am I special :/
If I helped you... Thank me... Its quick and helps!
Stock browser has brightness setting in menu that overrides system brightness.

I use Smart Profile, which automatically adjusts the brightness according to the time of the day. But yes, very randomly I got this problem of 100% brightness when I change something else. Pressing power button once to sleep and and again pressing it to wake, solves this problem.
Happens once a day or once in alternate days. Not a big deal so not looking for any solution for the minor thing.
Guys. While in browser, open menu, scroll to bottom and you will see "brightness".

My stock browser (named Internet) is disabled. I use chrome.
EDIT: Lol, even I enabled it after long time, the icon does not appear. May be a restart required. Will check later.
Thanks for your help guys! It was really annoying... And I'm glad I'm not the only one with this issue!
