[Q] In Xperia U Notification LED(blue) is very dim - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hello all,
all Xperia u users must have noticed that notification leds are very dim (specially blue led for sms and miss call notifications)
@xeda developers
can u guys please tell me if we can we control the intesity of these leds through code (in upcoming custome rom or some application)?
thanks
Mahendra

I just got mine today, but unless I hold it and look straight at it I can't even see the top LED is on when charging it, not tried missed call notifications yet.

The LEDs on top are crap
And cannot be intensified by any app or code.
There are apps that use the big led bar below to take over the notifications.

[Q] Notification LED

Hi all,
I've noticed there are several different LED colors that appear for notifications.
Was just wondering if anyone had figured out which color corresponds to which notification?
Because sometimes the light is blue, green or white? Can't decide which color is for what
Thanks guys

There is not much informations on that page.
When you plug the charger, led will red if battery level is btw 0 and 90%, above 90% its green (even at 100, it still show green-i dont like that).
When you download any app on market, led will blink...
The notification LED can be controlled based on what the app wants. FB can make a blue LED, Whatsapp and general notifications are green, charging is yellow, fatal errors are red, white I've seen on different apps, so it really depends on your app usage. You can't control it directly though settings or anything.
Thanks all for your answers.
Does anyone know of an app in the market which enables you to take control of the LED color? So I can set the LED to flash a set color for certain apps?
Thanks again everyone.
Light Flow works, but you gotta go into
General settings for the app and enable "Direct Mode"
It also asks for root and accessibility settings enabled, but it does work

[Q] Xperia U Notification LED Weak Light

Hi all!
I bought the xperia u yesterday and there seems to be a problem somewhere (i wish it's not a hardware kind).
The small notification LED next to the front camera IS working but the light isn't that bright. I did the test run, the LED is working but the light is just weak
What should i do?
This is my main issue with the phone next to the small internal memory. My X10 mini pro's led is easily noticable from a distance but with this one you actually have to be at 50cm or closer to be able to see it. Makes the fact that the led bar can't be used for notifications even more annoying.
I think the code/SDK or whatever which controls the ledbar is available to developers, the app XSLights can already mess with it a bit, so we can only hope someone finds a way to allow the ledbar to be used for notifications. Maybe via a Tasker script or something like that. Flash every 30 seconds or something wouldn't be draining the battery too much I'd think.
Maybe flashing a custom rom/kernel solves that problem but I'm with the default ones at the moment.
But having the LED bar flashing for notifications would be sweet
I'll see what I can do about it probably only one value for the LED to edit
The LED from Xperia S also isn't really bright
XS led seems fine to me.
XS led is ok, but not really bright

Hi guys,
well, I'm posting here because it seems there is no solution for the above mentioned problem.
I'm currently on STE CM11 (weekly 21) and couldn't find a way to make the notification LED brighter (more visible).
Is there a specific value I must alert? Anyone knows how to make the LED more visible?
p.s. I'm not talking about the illumination bar

Illumination bar notification app

Hi,
I created an app that will let an Xperia S/P/U light up the illumination bar when there is an unread SMS or a missed call.
Available at Google Play if you search for "Illumination Bar Notification"
link
For U model there is multi color support, and for S/P there is only the one color supported by the hardware.
The LEDs can either blink at various speeds or have a constant light.
There is an option to stop the light when the screen is unlocked or keep blinking until the SMS has been read or the call has been acknowledged.
I have only an Xperia U to develop on, but it has been tried on S/P as well.
If you have any problems let me know and I'll try to fix it.
Thanks to user sl1nk3 that figured out there was an API we can use.
-------------
*** Running on custom ROMs ***
If you run CyanogenMod or other firmware not from sony you may need to install additional libraries for this app to work.
First option: IlluminationReceiver
This solution works for all devices with illumination bar (S/P/U/SP) and does not require any sony libs at all:

This is just what I've been waiting for. Thanks a lot! Will try it now
Edit. Working great! In a future update, could you add the feature to disable it after a pre-set time? Believe it will drain battery after some time

This is nice. Could you make it blink? and can you make it for email as well?
Thanks very much.
Good man I was waiting on an app like this.
edit:
can you add an option to leave the illumination light always on when the screen is on. I like to have it on when it is dark so that I can see where the buttons are. Thanks
only white colour :-(

It has option to blink already.
There is no standard android way for apps to be notified for incoming e-mails, so adding e-mail support would likely mean having to implement a full e-mail client.
Maybe there is another way, but not that I know of.

That is probably doable, but I think it would be best to have that in its own app, since it is not related to notifications
Dude!!! I'm Not Gay, But I LOVE YOU!!! U Gave The Proper Meaning Of Sony's This STYLE ICON!!!
These are the things I would like to have for future update!!!
1-Stop the blinking after certain time period (for battery backup)
2-Notification for
A-CHARGE COMPLETE (as this wont drain the battery,and keep it cool)
B-Whatsapp notification
3-Please change the icon of this app (add a cool one for this cool phone)
4-Low rate of blinking should be much lower I think (like each blink after 5 sec)
5-If its possible blink in different style (disco,rhythmic...etc)
THANK YOU AGAIN, I REALLY LOVE TO SEE THIS IS INSTALLED WITHOUT MODDING OR ROOTING MY PHONE!!!
THANK YOU!!!
The app is pretty buggy for me.
sometimes it works "lighting up" but sometimes it doesnt even light up and instead it makes my screen lights up -.-
i like it when my screen is pitch black when i receive something.
please fix and will reconsider downloading.
thankyou
I would love to see the source code for this if you would like to release it. I had been working on a version of it myself, but I only just started android programming.
Also if you need a cool icon I can make you one. PM me
id just figured out whats the bug is.
1) a- it doesnt light up when you check "stop light when screen is unlocked"
the screen goes on and the led strip stops flashing.
b- and sometimes it doesnt light up until the second msg comes in or calls
c- overtime when just received a text or two the screen turns on as well as the led strip lights up, then somehow the screen turns on like every 10 secs or so. (not receiving anything)
2) like i said before please make the screen stay off when receiving any notifications. my screen goes on after i installed this app.
3) please include whatsapp and email for it.
thankyou really appreciate your work here. well done
Oh looks so great!, i thank you for this kind of worf as other request i dont want integration with other apps, just that the led stops blinking after a certain time
Looks great, but as the notification bar isn't very bright I would also like to see the notification LED continuing to blink as well.
Also, would be great if emails can be included.
Thx man, continue to develop it for more stuff (not only msg, and calls).
I will consider some donation then ;-)

Not sure why but it does nothing until I unlock the screen.

Thanks for this! Works great!
Great app man!!
In the future, could it be possible to have custom flash rate? I think even the "slow" setting is quite fast.
Suprised this feature was left out at launch. But thankyou for this app!
Works great!
sent from my Xperia S
Great app! Really something that should have been there from the start!
What I would like to change are the following:
* no screen turn on when you receive an sms or call
* email support (for some)
* timeout - after the timeout it would switch to the notification led it's using now.
I'm not sure yet, but does the low battery standard notification still work? Or do you have to turn it off completly for this to work?
In a way a really like to think that this should only be used for calls, messages and emails.. maybe even not emails.. It should diferentiate itself from other notifications.. so this could only be used for those that you have to instanlty reply.. like messages and calls.. But I would still use the blue notifications for facebook, green for emails and red/orange for low battery. I think that this is how both things should work together.
Really great, light and cool app!!
But like some guys, my screen turn on when I receive an SMS
Moreover, sometimes the vibrations bugs: normaly, it's like "brrrrr, brrrrr" but sometimes I have "brr..." so in my pocket, it's not really noticiable

[Q] How to turn off the LED bar of the Xperia U ST25i

Hello,
I've searched for a solution to turn off the LED bar for quite some time, but all the solutions via apps like LEDs-U-CTRL or uninstalling the sony.illumination.service package or removing the /system/apps/SemcIllumination.apk or the terminal commands from this thread don't work for me. Maybe because I've flashed the FXP152... The two packages don't exist.
Is there any other way to disable the LEDs? What versions of FXP support disabling the LEDs?
Thanks in advance!
yes u can disable ..

reply me if it doesnt work..
I can't believe it! It really works!
Thanks!
In FXP 210a the LED bar is finally completely off. Thanks to that my phone used only 2% of battery in the last 11 hours. Well... without using the phone much (sleeping for about 7 hours) and Wifi off. The Governor at "on demand" set to 200-400 MHz. :cyclops:
(of cause the LED bar will still blink at a custom frequency with a custom color when I get a message.)
btw: When the LED was always on the percentage went down every few minutes... It almost halves the duration of the battery when using the phone all day.
*Don't mind me reporting how things were progressing*

bro you know how turn off illumination bar of xperia u permanent, without apps? please tell me
Use illumination bar notification app (search urself) and on choosing the color of the theme of that app, don't slide non of the red, green and blue and then, save it. That's how.
P.S: That app didn't even use root access so you better give it a try

I don't know... I have something in mind, but it also could cause, that no led works at all or even that the phone won't boot anymore... So I don't even want to try it. (deleting the file /system/lib/hw/lights.montblanc.so)
As Little Zed said, you should try it with an app like screenfilter or the illumination bar notification app.
If you try out newer Roms like KitKat, then you also have an option to disable the LED but, I don't know if it will both disable the small LED on the top right and the LED bar... But this is something you might want to test.
ps: in the current KitKat Rom the LED bar won't work, you'd have to replace the above mentioned file with the one from CM10.1.

Intensity of notification led [Xperia U]

There is any way to make the notification led brighter? Because for example the blue color is very very low and I can't see it, and the Red and green ones are better but are not noticieable..

Download Busy box from playstore,open the app and install it.
Download LEDs-U-CTRL from playstore open the app and install it (installation will take a couple of minutes).
On LEDs-U-CTRL click on AppSelector and download from playstore LUC.radar.It's a trial version (after 10 reboots will expire) but you can see on app's playstore description how to get the full version for free.
After that, you will be able to choose various colors for your notifications including red (missed calls, messages, whatsapp ecc).
Enjoy!
I mean the led that is at the right of the front camera, not the led bar :3
i think it can't
No idea how to do that mate. Just a question though. Why not using the led bar? It's easier to see notifications i think
