Xperia u illumination bar always glowing - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I have downloaded illumination bar notification app two days ago and deleted
Now the problem is my illumination bar always glowing.. any way to switch it down or get the normal mode?
Im using 2.3 GB

Same problem here, since a couple of days. Mine is blinking every second, 3 times in a row, then a short pause.
However, I never changed any settings in Illumination Bar app. If I set is to Temporary Disable ON, the blinking continues.
I don't think it has anything to do with the Illumination app... I think it's an update from a different app, that automatically updated last week.
Can't figure out which app is causing this though...

[Q] Using tasker to turn off LED light?

So I am wondering if there is a way to turn off the LED lights within Tasker? I have a night profile where it turns down all the sounds, vibrations, etc etc but noticed last night that the LED light was flashing for some emails I had come in. I had a look in the tasker settings but I couldn't see any that would disable the LED?
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas?
OK, I shall keep up this conversation with myself (the voices in my head make me feel like it's a normal conversation with others though ). I found the setting in tasker to turn off the led - it's in the audio section and it's called 'notification pulse'. In my night profile I have now set that to 'off' but it made no difference and any emails during the night had the led flashing
You can use Light Flow to disable notifications at a certain time, plus you can do a lot of customisation.
You need root.

I reckon, you don't need root w light flow, but other than that bortak is absolutely right. Light flow does all that and perfectly.
Yes, you are totally right. I have installed and uninstalled lightflow a few times already. While it does do that for me, it's just not quite working right. I kept on having a notification light flashing after dismissing or viewing a notification. It just wouldn't stop flashing. That was bugging me more than the extra features I got out of the app, so I've removed it again.

this is because you havemt set the "clear notification style" parameter. set it to 'screen on'. so that once you wake up the screen al notifications are cleared and u wont see that blink again. Normally it is set to 'app entered', where you have to go to the app (or the phone and click on the missed call etc). set it to what I told to all your notifications.
Thanks. I'll take another look at that. I thought I had it set that way but wouldn't be surprised to see I was wrong. I do think that I'd tried entering the app as well when it wouldn't clear, and still wouldn't.
Hi!
Im searching nearly same. Im looking for a solution to switch off and switch on this notofication Led like i want by a tasker or by a widget 1 click.
I dont really like the app light flow.
Tasker is audio>notification pulse

Thanks rootSU. I had found that, but it doesn't seem to be working on the S3. I found the tasker google group and some similar problems exist there. One is having the same problem as me, and another I think is trying to turn the led on but it's not working; all S3's. Maybe tasker isn't optomised for this on the s3 yet?
I've found lightflow to be hit or miss. Sometimes the led keeps flashing even when the notification is dismissed (have checked my settings, even tried different ones), and the day before flashing for sms's stopped working. Even a reboot didn't fix it. So, I lived without the led's on my S1 and I'll do the same here. I had them on last night and kept waking to a notification of some kind and found that too annoying.
Thanks for the help and suggestions guys. Appreciate it.
Just a widget 1 click to switch would be perfect for me.

I think it works for me but not entirely. That ecpksind why the missus woke me up the other night to complain about the led. Hope it's fixed soon.
Once fixed Fred, you can create a widget in tasker

Don't suppose anyone's come up with any more ideas about this? I have emailed the tasker developers and I don't think they were 100% sure, but didn't think the notification pulse setting was for disabling the led's completely. I still try playing with lightflow every now and then, but the little bugs I have (mostly sms notification led not dismissing without reboot or entering lf app (only thing that works is having manual dismissal but it's a pain)) are still present for me. I also tried it with handcent but was getting no led notifications.
Hey guys,
I figured out a fix for the Verizon Galaxy S3. I know there are differences between the way the international version and US versions handle the notification light, but it might at least give you guys a starting point. You do need root.

need help jellyverse rom v0.3 i get notified even after turning off the led in the settings it blinks blue not big of a deal but does seem to drain battery after a few hours
Has anyone found a way to do this yet? Notification Pulse doesn't work, at least on the SGS3. I have tried LightFlow in the past, I found it buggy and uninstalled it.
I've been using light manager to manager my led for a while now. Doesn't have the talkback issues I had with lightflow, and free.

Hey guys,

I built a little plugin specifically for the galaxy s 3

Xperia S LED problem

Just today I observed, the small LED light (not LED bar) at the top stopped working , now it does not notify about missed calls and unread messages!!! is it a kind of bug or what??
although it works while charging and if there is an incoming call.
Thanx
Mine stopped working after updating to ICS. I installed lightflow to fix it, but it started draining my battery so I removed lightflow but the LED is still working.

Time not updating correctly

Has anybody else seen this in your note 2? The time in the notification bar does not update at all for me when I have the phone unlocked and using it. It only updates to the correct time once I lock and unlock the phone again. It also updates if I toggle the 24 hour time view in the settings.
Oh and the constant WIFI reminder along with the E911 icon within the notification bar is highly annoying. I can't wait until the root is out so I can get rid of those things.
Mine time is updating correctly.

Try resetting the phone to factory defaults. I had to do that on my droid x when I first got it and it fixed a few odd problems.
Download a launcher with full screen mode.

[Q] 5 Sola Questions

1. How do I turn off floating touch completely? It makes gaming impossible, and has no real benefits other than previewing xvideos.com clips. I of course tried disabling glove mode, no success. I tried installing an app that was supposed to turn it off, it even requested root, but did nothing after reboot.
2. How do I disable the the illumination bar and the backlight of the capacitive buttons permanently? The led illuminates one side more than the other and it doesn't look good. A couple of apps allowed me to do this, but then they just stopped running in the background and the lights were back. I need a permanent solution here.
3. I love the option that I can limit my background processes, but I always end up with my xperia home closed, and the whole home screen gets reloaded. Can I add it as a specific exception? So a max of 4 processes, but never close xperia home.
4. The screen is flickering when I set the backlight to the lowest setting. I have my auto brightness off. What could be the problem?
5. After the ICS update, the notification bar has two battery indicators, one is a percentage, the other one is an icon. How do I get rid of one without installing a loader?
+1. How can I make my Sola more responsive? I froze bloatware, I restart the phone pretty much every day, but it seems to lag and freeze all the time.
Thanks!
Use a custom rom like CM and most of your problems will be solved!!!
But its meant for unlocked Bootloaders only ..
Sent from my Xperia Sola using xda premium
Yes, you need to flash CM as it doesn't have floating touch, and users say it's the fastest.
But I can tell you about flickering, it's normal no problem with that.
As to battery percentage, you must flash a modded notifications bar, you can find many in Apps section.
As to reloaded home, make sure u have latest .54 firmware, try using task killer, or simply another home launcher, and set background processes to 3 max.

[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.

The pulse notification light in settings refers to the top right light and not to the LED bar However yuo can enable it flashing a package.
