No. Asked quite a few times already.
Yes, a hardware mod
Yes there is, you have to open it up and change the LEDs. This guys in Singapore changed his to blue, then he changed it to Pink. Have a look:

1) write your own driver... which is probably beyond your capability.
2) smash it in with a screwdriver... pretty stupid
3) open the Hermes up and unsolder it... smarter, but voids your warranty.
that my friend is about it.
or... change the registry. Not the precise control you're looking for but this will shut off all LEDs if you're annoyed by your bedroom looking like a UFO landing site at night:
[HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\AllLEDMgr]
"Index"=0
Note! Disables vibrating too.
VJImpoto should be a safer alternative to the screwdriver method.
However, AFAIK, on the Hermes disabling the driver is not permanent, it has a habit of re-enabling itself from time to time.
There are other solutions though, but at least for me, I haven't had the time to re-write VJImpoto to address this caveat.
Also try VJPlumBum for a brief orgasmic spasm.

Hey Sleuth,
On my way the vibrating function still works.
I just place it face down so you won’t be disturbed by aliens.

Well I bought a new Neo v, its almost a month.
What I have noticed is the default color temperature is set slightly warmer. If you compare the phone to any other screen you will see white appears to have slight tint of yellow.
I am not the only one who has reported this, here is a link
http://communities-origin.sonyericsson.com/message/143398
Is there any way I can fix this? As a designer this is irritating.
Cheers.
You can try the disable auto brightness app [root], so you set the brightness higher. Black looks much better then. Maybe this works too, I haven't tried it.
I think it's a choice Sony made, to make the colours more natural, but less saturated.

Thanks,
Brightness had no effect but the app you attached really helped
Wondering if there is any permanent solution to this, app has an icon on top notification bar which is not very desirable

It was the first app I found, there will be at least 2 other apps that can do this. Also beware: Some of these screen filter apps have the effect that you can't click install when opening an apk file. Disable the app and it should work. Had a hard time with that
Is there a firmware solution to this problem?
Is it more of a screen defect or a firmware color temperature setting? If later then can I make changes to make it more natural. Yellow is kind of getting irritating now!
Those filters are no good for permanent solution.
i had your problem earlier when i bought my Neo,its like burn in my eyes...brightness already set to maximum but its not so maximum....not like what i want...so i change to custom rom,and there you go...brightness control just 1/2 of bar,enough for me and yellow,red,green colour not so burning...of coz its still there, its bravia engine and its acceptable...
sory for my english
Hmm well I compared my phone to another Neo V which was bought from India. Even at lower brightness White looks white but for me it looks little yellow.
As somebody mentioned its because my phone was manufactured for other region where they set the color temp little warmer. If there was a way to set to Neutral nothing like it
I upgraded to ICS thinking it will fix or reset it. But in vain.
In my opinion, it seems to be a hardware problem, I do not have to do with the software. Hopefully you fix ...
hey guys, i was wondering if i could control the notifications led of the phone.. so far i saw only two colors, red and green... is it possible to customize ( any app) which might give access to different color lights?

Yes. HTC uses dual light technology not multi light, hence red and green are the only colours that will ever blink in your device. Hope this helped!

Hi.
I read on a tread that I can change the colors of my Leds on Sony Xperia U manually. That way I could have diferente colors, like blue-red-blue, instead of a color only (e.g blue-blue-blue).
So, when I go to sys/class/leds, and adjust the brightness, as I was told, it works (I can see that the Led changes), but after the Leds go off, when I turn them on again, they're back to default. If I go to the brightness again, all changes I made are gone.
How can I do what I want and why is this happening?
PS: I'm using Root Explorer and I do have r/w mounted. I also tried with ES File Explorer
Thanks!

The apps U-Disco and Leds-U-Ctrl seem to solve the purpose. Original xda threads of the apps:
U-Disco here and Leds-U_Ctrl here

Couldn't get you, sorry! Do you mean you want one LED to light up in blue, the second one in red and then the third one in blue in one go?
Or did you mean one illumination in blue, the successive one in red and the next one in blue?

Sorry for confusion.
I want the LED bar on the bottom to have a certain color in the left side, another color in the middle, and another color on the right side.
Thanks for response!

Got you now! Previous post edited. Do check it out, and also the original threads of the apps and make out which of the two suits you best.
And, don't say thanks, hit Thanks!

U-Disco looks neat... I'm definitely going to keep it. But not quite what I'm looking for. Led's-u-ctrl is cool, I already knew about it. And it does almost what I want. You see, when you touch the BACK/HOME/OPTIONS in the bottom, or press the volume buttons, the Leds Bar illuminate. Leds-u-ctrl allows you the customize the color of the illumination (because there's really few colors by default).
What I want, I don't care if I have to do it manually, is to customize that illumination so it has 2 or 3 colors. Because Xperia U has (of course) 3 diferente LEDs

In that case, I guess best would be that you talk to the developers of these apps. I'm sure they know best. So you may PM them if you want to.
[Help] How to change the ''back'' and ''recent'' buttons lights ?
they are white.
You cannot change the colour they are suppose to be white, or do you mean they are on all the time, be more specific.
