Anyone tried this yet? I gave it a go, not really sure what to expect. Installed fine, both the front and back lights kept blinking green until I swiped down the notification bar to clear them, even though I didn't have any notifications. I was messing around with the settings, and it is able to recognize the back light independently, so that's good.
Then I let the screen lock, when I went to unlock it nothing would happen, just stay black, im not sure if it turned off, or the screen was just staying off. Thinking it turned off I tried to boot it up, but nothing would happen. So next I tried to get into bootloader mode, which did work. So from there I went into twrp fixed permissions for a good measure and rebooted fine. Then I promptly uninstalled lightflow, until I get some other input from someone else.
So if you are worried about trying I don't think you should be, just give it a go and let me know your results. Just keep in mind you might have to do something to get it to boot if you have a problem, wasn't really a big deal though.

I sent diagnostic information to the developer last week. His reply didn't sound too hopeful. HTC uses different hardware than most companies when it comes to the led mapping. I hope we will see an update that will provide further support for our device.
I wouldn't count on it, unlike the Nexus's notification light the Droid DNA (and most other HTC Phones) do not have multicolored notification lights. The light can effectively be 3 colors I think, which are red, green, and maybe orange/yellow at most (one of those might not even exist I cant remember) but that's it. Now if you just wanted to map those colors to individual actions I guess that could totally be feasible, but new colors outside of those like blue, purple, white, etc just isn't capable with the hardware in our phones.
It kinda sucks if your into that kinda thing, but what can ya do?
I agree that not having the multi-colored leds that my S3 had is an annoyance, but if LightFlow would just work so I could have dark orange for gmail and green for sms, I could live with that...
Unfortunately, I got the black screen at some point... I think after enabling the back led. And add to that I get the green led and it will not shut off no matter what. Sucks.
I'm starting to think that developer support will never get to an acceptable point for the DNA and I will need to go back...

yeah, when I started messing around with LED's I had problems. So in lightflow I just setup my different notifications like normal, but without the LED, and just use the repeating function instead. Yes, the LED would have been nice, but honestly I used lightflow for the custom repeating notifications and the LED was just an added bonus for me and isn't really necessary.

About a week ago I had just checked an email using the gmail app and put the phone to sleep. I then remembered I needed to do something else on my phone, so I woke it back up. Upon waking, the entire screen was red, I could see the background still, but there was noticeable artifacing at the top of the screen. I unlocked the phone, and it was still the same. I could use the phone as normal, but the entire screen was a translucent red. I put the phone to sleep and woke it back up and everything was back to normal.
I am still in my 30 days of ownership, so I was wondering if anyone thinks this was a one time bug or if there is a deeper problem. At the time I was not rooted and was running 100% stock.
I'd most definately take that phone back and exchange for another.
It _might_ have been a one time issue, or it might have been a symptom of a hardware issue. Why risk it?
Thats not really a common issue... in fact the first that Ive heard of. Could be a one time issue... or a hardware LCD/screen issue. Id take it back.
I hadn't heard of it either. When it happened the phone was only a few days old.
I regularly replace iphone 4 screens and I have come across red tinted screens. At least on them it was a sign of screen problems, not software. Samsung does/did make screens for Apple. I've never heard of an iphone having a red screen then dying. I have heard of them being red and not ever going back to normal colors.
Not worth the risk for me. If it was my phone I'd exchange it.

I had a similar experience, except the screen went green, and wouldn't go away until I rebooted. It was probably due to CF.Lumen though, or at least that's what I thought.
On my Captivate, every once in a long while the screen would boot or unlock with a weird color tint. Seem to recall it having been green, but couldn't swear to it.
Either way, a quick lock/unlock again made it go away. Always figured it was a software bug somewhere in the display driver...
Hey guys,
So, today I got my phone back from Samsung (yay!) after repairs.
First issue, it came back with a different bezel, so I phoned up thinking "OMG WTF" and was told "Nah, we just did that because we had no others".
That's fine, boot my phone up, and then the menu lights didn't work.
Me: "WTF!!"
Reset the phone, display lights worked. Yay :3
Open "Gmail", oh, it looks like there is a gradient going from dark to light over the screen. Whhaaatt.
I turn the brightness up, it is less visible. Full brightness and it's barely noticeable.
I restart my phone, nope, it's still present. I notice it in the Android Market too and can just see it when the phone is idle.
I've tweeted Samsung, but I'm impatient when it comes to my phone, it's been difficult going with my trusty P1i for a week!
Thanks for all your help guys,
Jake,
P.S.
Going to try formatting again...
Well, another reset didn't do anything.
Sending it to Vodafone's repair centre now, to see what they can do...
I'll keep this thread updated!
I'm brand new to HTC devices so I'm unsure if the dialer is sense or if this is a ICS dialer were dealing with. (My old phone was a Droidx, so my exp is with blur and asop 2.3 from liberty).
Either way though i seem to have come across an interesting "bug" or at least unusual behavior.
I've noticed on almost every other call, weather it's incoming or outgoing, the MOMENT you dial/answer the screen goes dark. Now i can press the power button to wake it up again and it will stay on for exactly 5 seconds before going dark again. If i flip on speaker phone the screen will stay on, however the moment i turn off speaker phone it goes dark again.
Whats really annoying is if i go back to the home screen it still goes dark after 5 seconds but now when i wake it up it's at the lock screen. If i try to unlock it the moment i touch the screen it goes dark. No matter where i touch the screen the phone is now perma locked until the call is finished.
Now like i said this happens every other call so far in the 6 times I've tested this, which i thought was really odd. The other times the screen stays on and acts completely normal no matter what i do while a call is active. Fresh reboot makes no difference. I haven't done a factory reset yet as I'm trying avoid that.
What i have done so far is unlocked the bootloader, Flashed recovery, and the root from con247's thread in the dev section. I don't think that has anything to do with it though since i noticed the screen going black during a call before i started messing with bootloaders/recovery/root. I just didn't test it as well before doing those things cuz i didn't think anything of it.
Is anyone else seeing this behavior and does anyone have any suggestions?

Sounds like the proximity sensor is going wonky. You might try a factory reset and without installing anything else see if you get the same issue. Also, make sure that any programs you have installed are not affecting it for some reason.

Just factory reset it, skipped setup completely and started making calls, same issue. You maybe right about the sensor though. The first call acted up like i explained. The second call the screen was staying on like i expected, but once i switched speaker phone off and then back on the screen shut off and started acting like call one again.
I just got this phone 6 hours ago i wonder how hard it will be to convince verizon there's a hardware fault. I guess i'd better unroot it and remove recovery so i can call in the morning.
Void4ever
I just wanted to make sure i understand this before i do it.
To remove the root i need to install the RUU for the phone, which i found at http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?13550-Asian-Shooter-goes-ICS-and-a-VZW-Fireball-RUU (second link i assume).
I haven't downloaded it yet, but it's an exe. Will it flash the phone via USB, or does it just extract something i can use recovery to flash with?
Once i get the root removed i just need to flash back the original recovery and i should be good to go right?

There are directions in the RUU that will explain all of the steps. You will connect your phone with the USB cable.
It shouldn't be to hard to convince them. Just show them the steps you did to reproduce the issue. Good luck.
On the phone right now and the guy is setting up overnight sat delivery to my house. We are a fairly large business account so i'm glad they are going that extra mile.
Just to note I've noticed the sensor doesn't shut off after a call is complete. In fact it stayed on last night for around 6 hours before finally turning off. I did another test this morning and once again the sensor is stuck on, so good call. Thanks so much for your help, i never would have thought sensor, it seemed like a software issue to me!

I have had my Verizon Note 2 for about a month now, and about 2 days ago i read that the processor has Vulnerabilities and mailware problems samusing is trying to fix but about a week ago i went to use my quick glance and my direct call and it wasnt working and when someone calls me i put it up to my ear the screen goes black as it should but then its stuck at the black screen i hit all the buttons cant get to the phone call if i wanted to put it on speaker or even just check a txt message i cant do anything until that person hangs up. The only way i am able to check my txt messages and stuff while on the phone is if i dont put it up to my ear.. so i restarted phone as we all would assume this would fix it well it didnt, so then i did a Factory reset thinking that would just put it back to complete stock and fix it well turns out that didnt work. My phone has never been rooted or anything and never will be. Im running Android 4.1.1 If anyone has any idea how i can fix this it would be gladly appreciated i love the motion features. Also i did the Gyroscope calibration and it didn't make any difference, my proximity sensor is on and glowing red just doesnt work like i said.
Thanks, Stephen

That exploit that you are referring to has nothing to do with your issue... And the proximity sensor does not light up as that is the LED notification light. I have this issue from time to time too and it's just that the sensor is not doing it's job properly but if you just simply hit the home button or power button real quick the screen will turn on. Other than that you may want to check some of your settings... Turn off your "motion" settings and see if that takes care of your issue then find out which one is causing the problem...
The quick glance used to work without any problems at all and i liked that, then all of a sudden one day it just decides not to work and it hasn't worked in a week now, i turned my motion off and when im in a phone call it still locked up at the phone screen i cant do anything until they hang up ive gone through the settings multiple times and nothing, i think imma go to verizon today and ***** about it

Ya something does not sound right... Do you have a screen protector on your Note 2 that is covering the sensors?

No screen protector or anything no case either, my girlfriend yanked the battery while it was on one day idk if that has anything to do with it or not cause after that happened seemed like it didn't work

actually the proximity sensor DOES light up, it's a very faint red light and it's the left one of the two little holes to the _right_ of the phone speaker, the notification LED is on the left of the phone speaker. This light turns on when in a phone call to indicate that the sensor has been activated.
Has anyone else had issues with their back light faulting? I've searched and have seen that other sprint evo lte users have had issues with screen flickering, but my problem seems to be more serious that that. when i wake up in the morning the screen is blank. thank god i have a custrom rom installed and can manually mess with the status bar slider to get the backlight to turn back on. It just needs to be tweaked here and there. the backlight seems to only like to work on full brightness, if not, it will flicker like crazy. if i press with more pressure on certain parts of the screen the backlight turns off completely until i remove my finger. I dont think its a proximity issue since it'll just flicker sitting on a desk. Do I need to replace the screen? is this worth it? i havent dropped to phone or anything for this to default. I can upload a video later. gonna use my OG evo for that which is still kicken by the way
I realize this thread is incredibly old, but did you ever find a solution to the flickering problem? I just started seeing the exact same behavior, including the screen going dark when putting pressure on certain areas of the screen.
Thanks!
I have a PJ75100 doing this, but the screen does not function at all. I get the orange/green light while charging, and if I power it on it acts as if it's doing it's regular startup, but nothing shows on screen.
I did update the stock firmware with the latest release ruu, but still no screen.
I'd really like to get this one going as it's not the normal Jewel, it's the white and silver one, and my girlfriend wants it to replace her iPhone 5c.
