Has anybody noticed a clicking noise...maybe like the screen adhesive or whatnot coming off of the case? The location for me is top right corner right above the right speaker. I don't know if it is the case or the screen but I definitely feel some movement....This along with my previous question of not being able to click on certain pop ups...maybe I have a defective unit?
I have a similar issue near my left speaker. However, it is only an issue if I press too hard. My guess is that its difficult to get a perfect glue job on a unit this thin.

Hey all, I need some help. I need a camera app or even a system tweak that will allow me to adjust the flash setting of the camera. Currently, we only have ON, OFF or AUTO. There should be an option for soft flash as well. I try taking pictures of my 5 month old niece and every photo I take of her, her eyes are closed because of the bright as hell flash we have on our phones. Any help would be appreciated.
Anyone know of any?

How about taping a piece of white paper over the flash?

You do realize clear tape and/or thin white paper actually does work on cameras, right? No, you wouldn't know because your an ass and dismissed an idea without even asking questions.

Im not an ass, I just dont believe in sticking crap to my note when I'm sure there could be a software solution to the idea. NEXT!
Found this online....
HTC has an alternative API that supports this, however it's only on HTC Sense devices, and as of Gingerbread they've changed the permissions so it's only for their Flashlight app, not third party ones (unless you use root).
But on 2.2 HTC devices you can use it by writing a string to /sys/devices/platform/flashlight.0/leds/flashlight/brightness. This controls if the LED is on and how bright it is. For maximum brightness write "128\n", half brightness write "64\n". Easy to test from adb shell:
echo "128" > /sys/devices/platform/flashlight.0/leds/flashlight/brightness
And finally turn it off by writing "0\n" there.
Would Devs be able to use this info to create a system tweak to provide options for the flash intensity for the user?

The way you responded was pretty douchey, just saying. Especially since it's a valid idea. You could cut a tiny square of matte scotch tape to stick on the flash and you wouldn't even notice it on your phone.

So if I had signal issues, would you recommend I shove an antenna in my headphone jack?

Put a piece of thin tissue over the flash. This is an easy thing to do especially if you have a case on your device. Stop being a **** to people, atleast they are tryin to give you a solution to your problem. You should thank them not lash out at them.
You're right. I apologize to all that i have offended.
Now can we have a solution to this problem that doesn't require adhesive or paper or anything even close to this type of solution. Please, only software related solutions.

In OP's defense; they did ask for software or app tweaks, not physical mods.
In defense of the other responders; using white plastic and/or cheap invisible tape IS a method used even by professional photogs to get that soft, dreamy glow. As mentioned in another post, if you have a case and are needing a semi-permanent solution, cut a small square out of a shopping bag. Use layers and different color bags to achieve the results that you're looking for.

The best solution is to take the picture of your niece in the day time WITHOUT Flash. Problem solved. Pictures with flash have little quality compared to daytime captures IMO.
My gf hates that I keep closing my eyes when taking pictures with flash at night. I guess I will bring sunglasses with me at all times.
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
Take pictures with out flash in lighted areas
then you can maybe use filters or a camera app that can give you different filters to enhance the brightness of the picture
in dark areas idk ....it is a bright flash and dont know of any apps/mods to dim the flash
and i wouldnt stick anything to my Note either
it hurts to have it in a case but i have to protect it lol

And that's why I responded the way I did before. I'm OCD about keeping my phone immaculate and sticking things to it makes me cringe.
Now there has to be a solution. I prefer taking pictures with flash indoors because if not, i notice the pics turn out pixelated. (in my home atleast)

According one of the headlines on the main page of XDA, "Dim Capacitive Buttons on HTC Rezound Running Sense 4". A dev was able to dim the captivate buttons on the HTC Rezound and we can't figure out how to dim the flash?

I don't see how they are related. You can dim the capacitive buttons on the atrix as well. I don't think there is huge demand for dimming the flash...

Let me understand the problem
Niece is only available for pictures at night and or in dark basements...?
Solution:
Just carry a halogen flashlight with you at all times, or a candle is good too but could burn if placed too close to skin
If the flashlight is too bright for her eyes you can cut a piece of tape and cover the lense..
Now is good and your note doesn't have any glue from tape.. Problem solved, Leave a "thanks" bellow please.

P.S. Do we think the yellow gasket and white goo = waterproofing?

No LEDs.. It appears to be a strip of Electroluminescent Paper or a bit LCD back-lighting without the LCD-ness. My bet is on the latter.
(Sorry, by this point everything is glued to hell... so I had to move to destructive disassembly)
Hope this helped!
Cheers,
so cool, thanks!
i was triyng to look for that "soft spot" on the back right which if pushed, caused the LED discoloration..there appears to be A LOT between the actual screen and the back plate, and it's symmetrical...yet the left side didn't have hte same soft spot the right did.
that's what caused my blue dot issue..but judging from these pics, there's alot between the back and the screen..so man, even lightly pushing that spot showed the discoloration..
I thought I was the only one with the blue dot issue, I sent mine back to Wal-Mart & they sent me a new one thank goodness. My bluish blush spot was about 1/2" above the home button & a little off to the left.

That is exactly where the magnet for the rear speaker is.
I tore a part my evo lte when replacing the screen. The DNA looks like it was designed by brilliant engineers. The evo, in comparison, looks like it was designed by a carpenter.

There are LEDs, they just are not on the LCD assembly, they are on the front side of the speaker board on bottom. I took my DNA apart and posted pictures of it all a while ago on droidforums, i posted link bellow, you can see the LEDs (there is two of them) on the front side picture of the speaker board which goes on bottom.

yes the first picture you linked is correct. Those two leds on bottom are the LEDs for the touch buttons. Trust me the light goes through lol, that bluish white film or whatever color it is, is tinted and light passes through it. Try holding a flash light behind it. They tint it so the light doesnt just shine right through and look ugly, this way it has a even spread and isnt blinding. Even though id rather have mine a little brighter.
I was able to adjust their brightness with this app..

Don't think they're maxed out with the default settings.

is it possible to separate the lcd from glass without damaging it? my glass is shattered,but lcd is fine.
mine is also broken and i am just about to order the digitizer only, is it possible to replace only the digitizer?
Looking at these made me glance at my phone and I noticed.. My camera isn't centered on the back!! WHAT?!?! LoL
How hard is it to just remove and re attach the rear housing? my rear notification LED doesn't work and I want to fix it.
Do you plan on placing your device face down on its beautiful glass ??
D.
In case you have kept it face down in a meeting on silent ... so just a led helps
I guess they were thinking on same lines, however, I really wanted a bigger led on front !
Is it just me, or does anyone else find the rear led impossible to see unless you're directly over it?
Shows up iPhone users who don't even have a single LED on the front. Take that, I have two one on the front AND one on the back. The LED is one of the reasons I got rid of my iPhone 5.
I agree, the front led is a joke. No reason to have the FRONT led smaller then the rear...

Well ya you know you have a SMS because the light is blinking otherwise I would have to pick the phone up and look at it. On the iPhone thats the only way you know if you have a message. Say I go to the restroom and get a SMS on the iPhone I have to pick it up and look at it on Android the light will be blinking. Its the little things.

Yea, but iPhone has been the best phone experience when it comes to best put together package with smoothness and stuff until the Nexus 4 came to be (of course in my opinion)...I considered getting a iPhone, but decided i'd have more fun with an Android device.
I don't like that LED, but the otterbox case I got covers it up nicely. Makes it easier to grip too!
The rear led is a good idea but poorly executed IMO. Could have been made more noticable.
Sent from my SuperCharged DNA
All they would have to do is incorporate a lens in a case that would magnify the front and back led.. figure with all the cases someone would have , should have done it by now.. I've experimented with it and its possible
I completely forgot it was there.... My case blocks it so I see no use

I find it to be quite helpful. Its not like your going to drag your phone on the front and most people will likely have screen protectors and a case.
To be notified that notifications need to notify you of texts and mail... as you admire the beautiful back of your awesome phone. :laugh:
But really though, the back LED's probably for people who either use a belt clip or place the phone face down during meetings and such.

It's small but I find it more than bright enough. Especially when I'm playing games or watching a video and I get a message that I don't want to get out of to clear, the blinking is annoying already. Would hate for it to be worse.
I like the fact of the back led because I always keep my phone screen down so people can't look at the phone if the screen was on. But my otterbox covers it up so I'm debating drilling a hole where it is.

Dear,
I just got my Moto 360. It functions perfectly fine,
however the back of the watch seems to push against the display..
Is this a bad thing of is this just normal?
Hope to hear something. Maybe it's a bad unit so I can return it.
Thanks in advance
meaning you see some LCD liquid on the display if you move a certain way? normal with these. it's so tight together that if i push the left side of the watch against my wrist, i see some discoloration. that's just how all LCD's are. the panels seem softer than AMOLED, which never does that.

Other question though,
I have the shiney silver edition, If i scratch the bezel ( that shiney little round thingy)
Is there any sort of thing I can 'wipe' this with?
( I think I saw someting familiar with the apple watch.. )
not sure, maybe some chrome polish? I have the silver too and i'm scared to scratch it lol

Get it replaced if you still can - they should not be like this. I have no evidence of the back of the screen being pushed against on mine, and it certainly should not be visible simply when wearing the watch (and I wear mine very tight).
I'm also seeing this on my watch. If I push against the back of the watch I also see some discoloration. So this is normal???
