Heya !
I have got Viper rom on my international One X+
Now, since a day or 2 my notification led is Extremely weak !
i can see it turning on / off but it looks like there is no power in there.
Can this depend on my Rom ? I also mentioned this in the Viper topic but i did not have any response.
Today i was talking to a friend with a one x and he had this problem all along. This can't be extremely cheap hardware can it ?
Cheers,

I don't know if ROMs can affect the intensity of the notification light, but I can tell you that I am a bit disappointed with the standard notification LED of the One X+. Even if I am starting at it, it is still hard to see. I have no idea what HTC was thinking when they put that in. It's not centered; it just seems like an afterthought poking out from the earpiece grill. I just compulsively check my phone on the lock screen.
It's not necessarily cheap hardware. It might just be poor design.
I was wondering the same thing, but the strange part is that before and after root the notification light was bright, like i could really see the light but now its just off i cant even see it anymore. In the dark i can see a weak orange light but thats not the way it was.
Something happened and i would love to know what.
Cheers
You could try an app like Lightflow
Im on the Viper rom as well Telus version and as for the light... My Charging light is normal.. doesnt look too dim to me.
With lightflow it doesnt even seem to work at all !?
Maybe i'll try another rom.. Backup my viper in case it doesnt affect anything.
It cant be broken right ? it shouldnt light up at all in that case..

Theres a minority of us with the N1 who use Desire rom ports and the soft key lights dont turn on. It appears to have always been this way with no one atempting to fix it, other than the gscript which doesnt work with 2.2. I have an AT&T N1 and kinda think it effects other att versions but dont know for sure, if you have this problem speak up. it would be much appreciated if an intelligent developer could look into this issue. The desire ports are great but not having the lights in dark rooms is rather frustrating and annoying.
thanks
I think this may have something to do with the phone's light sensor. My capacitive buttons (using eVil's latest desire 1.06t) kinda flickers sometimes but most of the time, it's off... Basically, the screen seems to light up pretty bright even in pitch dark and since the screen thinks it's in a 'bright' (since screen turns bright in the sun etc.) setting, it turns off the capacitive key lights... Can anyone confirm and maybe have a fix for this??? This is just my opinion and not sure if what I'm saying is true or makes any sense at all...
Cheers
Is it just me or does the led notification light seem very low? If the phone is laying down flat it's very hard to see if your not lookin at it directly is anyone else having this issue as well?

It is very dim and the color is dark. I barely ever notice it.

I consider it a feature..I can accidentally set my phone face up at night without a notification lighting up the whole room and waking me up. It's all in how you look at it I guess!

I agree that it's not very noticeable and I like being able to see it. One of the smaller issues I have to complain about right now though.
i agree, does not light up the whole room. My old EVO used to do that. uggg
I want to know when the light is going to work at least how it says in the manual
Okay thought it was only me. Yeah other than that I love this phone especially how fast it charges!
Yeah I thought the same thing when I first got my photon, I don't mind it though, and your right it does charge super fast,

Well, until you mentioned it.................Yes, its low unless I'm actually looking at the phone (and this likely saves battery?) BUT, as stated, I dont want my bedroom glowing when I'm sleeping either. Not like I would get up and actually check it anyway!
I'm unsure if anyone tackled or even noticed this one yet, but I noticed that after I unlocked the bootloader via htcdev.com, whenever I make a call, there's a little red light that sits above the HTC branding (left of the notification LED) that flickers repeatedly whenever I make any phone calls. Is this a unlocked bootloader indicator, malfunction, or normal function of the phone? Also, can someone tell me what that light is for if it's not an indicator of a call?

I don't ever get the red indicator light unless my battery level is low.
In fact I don't have any LED light while I'm on a call at all.

I'm not saying the notification LED. It's a separate light to the left of it. It's located conveniently right above the right side of the T in the HTC branding. It's very very faint. The only reason I noticed it was because I was in the dark and I pulled the phone away from my face to look at it.

I'm in the dark right now. I just made a call to my work phone. There is no light.
That's a sensor. It turns the screen off when the phone is by your face..(having a brain fart of what that sensor is called) lol
Edit: proximity sensor

So when that sensor is active, you can see the red flashing it does?
Edit: Well, you seem to have won the cookie. I don't know why my proximity sensor is actually visible. I just tested it with my thumb. Turns out that that is indeed the proximity sensor.
Mine does the same thing only its completly random. I'll look over and it'll be flashing. I decided to just ignore it a few weeks ago.

Mines doing it to, its really very faint and wouldn't have noticed it had I not read this.

I noticed this a while a ago it is the proximity sensor, its not next to the left of the ambient light sensor and it is NOT the led!!, go into a dark room and make a call it'll start blinking...or any app that uses proximity sensor...Also if you have the option of pocket mode it'll probably be running all the time but i'm not sure, it should technically run when you receive a call, but you will definitely notice that it'll blink very very rapidly while you're in a call...proximity sensor!!
Whats weird that I noticed also is that when my HTC amaze fell on the floor board of my truck I reached down to pick it up and passed it in front of my Radar detector the L band went off on the radar detector I though maybe a cop out but nope every time i put the phone in the radar detectors view it started going off, pretty weird just wondering if anyone can explain that, it might be the reason its giving off that red glow
It emits infrared light. Some peoples' eyes are better attuned to see it than others. In other words, some people cannot see the light at all, and other people can see it just find - it all depends on how sensitive your eyes are to the infrared spectrum.
yeah i thought i was the only one with this problem. whenever i make calls the light goes crazy even after the call!
hey so after reading this, because i was also trying to find out what it is myself.. i now know what it is..
but recently i noticed that my phone freaked out, and shut itself off, and that red light stayed on.. my phone wouldnt charge nor turn on until
i took the battery out and out it back in.. has that happened to anyone??
Yea I've seen it to

So I pre-ordered last night at my local at&t store. I am excited as before I went to my at&t store I passed by best buy to hold the dummy model they have. Its big but I was still able to thumb the other side of the device with one hand. I also played with the samsung player which has a 5" screen and runs android but I guess thats just suppose to be an mp3 player, either way it looked similar to the note and it looked great. I can imagine how good the note's display will look.
The only thing right now that is bugging me a little is getting by with no led notification. Can you guys suggest how to get over that little led light that will no longer be on the note? Or how you guys with devices with no led lights are coping?
there is a app that you can get and its free called no led.. My wife had the same issue as she was used to a led light and when she got her samsung she missed it.. works well
But that requires your screen to turn on so basically killing the battery right? I know some samsung devices have that bln mod but not sure how well that works and if its even compatible with the lte note. Any led camera flash apps maybe?
no it puts a small icon that lights up on your screen and bounces around. the rest of your screen is dark.
Camera flash? For notifications? Seems to me that would kill that battery way faster than 64 pixels floating around the screen . . .

What does it really mean to "turn on the screen" for the Samsung AMOLED displays? LCD-based displays need a backlight, even when displaying a single pixel. But turning on just a few LED pixels on a Samsung AMOLED display is probably a very low power operation, since only active pixels should need to be powered, and since there is no backlight.
I haven't had an LED notification for years. And I am thankful that I don't. I remember on BB when I had the LED notification, I was constantly looking at my phone to see if the light was beeping. Without it, I'm so much less obsessed with seeing if I have that stupid blinking light.
@bkeaver - I thought it required the screen to be on
@LiquidArrogance - I've seen the iphone do it like that with a case
@vaxheadroom - Then I definitely am not sure the difference between lcd and AMOLED displays
@kiltedthrower - I'm still obsessed no thanks to the blackberry days
here is a link to the app.... should give you a idea of how it works and what it looks like

Once a kernel is developed that supports bln which I imagine will be fairly quickly, it will be available. And it works very well, I use it on my captivate all you have to do is install the bln supporting kernel, download the app, set up what apps turn on the leds and you're done.

Is it a strain on battery at all? Or does noled work better in regards to battery life?
Hi buddies, I wanted to ask, have you noticed if you in your ray the LED of the camera is like putting on more yellowish over time, nose I think mine is being degraded or something, because I see that part gives low light or less than you think to remember. anyone knows how to increase the intensity of the LED???
thanks, sorry for my english
I thought I was the only one who noticed that. Anyway, yes, the led on Ray is kinda yellow-ish compared to other leds. I have no idea why but it seems this is normal. Also, I tried 3 Rays, my first one, my second one after I broke the first one and got it replaced, and my friend's one, all 3 of them had a yellow tint in their led.
