So I have tried a few different apps to control the LED on my One, but none seem to work. Any suggestions out there?

No, but I can confirm that light flow doesn't work well even with direct mode and root mode enabled.

One of the oddities of HTC phones - They just never seem to have good LED notifications.

Yeah, but three colors equals all of the colors according to basic physics. I have yet to see a blue light though, although I havent connected my bluetooth headphones yet. I would like to use an app similar to BeBuzz that I used to use on my old blackberrys that I can customize for specific contacts/tasks.
the LED is only green and red

Android Police completely disagrees with you--they see the HTC LED's as pointless because they are so small. Coming from an SII, I'm just happy to have an LED.
But there's also the fact that the S3 and the S4 have LED's that can show all colors, while the HTC one can only show two colors, three if you combine the two.

I've had 3 gs3's... and no... the HTC ONE is brighter. Also the flash frequency helps you to see if you have a notification faster vs. the gs3. With my gs3 I literally had to stare at it for a few seconds to see if my led was flashing. I don't know what's wrong with your ONE but I can see my led just fine at all angles and light situations.

I didn't care for the different color leds. Pointless IMO.
I've seen Green, Red and Orange LED(Orange while charging) - Red when my battery got under 10%
It is definitely brighter than the S3
The LED light on HTC One is so much smaller than the S3 and S4. Also, I tried light manager and it didn't read any color but green and red.
Don't really know what to tell you.

Anyone here ever have the first Evo from Sprint and HTC? It took awhile for someone to figure out that there was a hidden BLUE light on the opposite side of the the red/green combo
Im hoping this is the same deal lol
hardware limited i think. and htc did not support api for developer.
Another forum commented that light flow works, just that the led will be solid instead of blinking?
I think there are only two LEDs, red and green. And they are both tiny and pretty hard to see from a distance. The LEDs are probably the biggest downside to this phone, although my old iPhone didn't even have any so I don't notice it as being too big of a problem.
There are custom kernels that can enable the back/home buttons to blink on & off during a notification (BLN).
Well I tried lightflow using the direct/root method.
It worked, but there are only 3 possibly 4 color choices.
Green - red - orange(dark orange)
I didn't like it, and reverted back but now it seems as if my LED's are not as bright as before.
Anyone else have this issue?

My phone is great otherwise, and I don't want to risk getting a phone that suffers from something worse. I am still in my 30 day period, so I want to fix any problems while I can.
It doesn't really bother me, and I will probably forget about it soon enough but it was distracting when I first noticed it watching a movie on Netflix.

I would say that my "blobbing" is a little bit worse than what you see there.
Some are worse than others. On my first SGS2, an entire third of the screen was discolored. The second was worse- a fourth was discolored with lines across the screen. The third one, and the one I kept, only has two small spots on the left side.
If it bugs you, go to the store and get the best one they have.

How exactly do you check for it in the store? The fact that it is only noticeable in dark conditions is hard to check for.
I don't think I'm experiencing these black spotty colors. However...
My first SGS2 had some pixel problems. See image below. That line of pixel shows a higher contrast of whatever is displaying on that row of pixels. It only shows up at certain times when the videos or photos show some color or contrast threshold that activates these problem lines of pixels.
My second SGS2 has a soft (almost) black glow at the bottom on landscape (or left side at portrait) against a completely black background only noticeable at night (like when I'm in bed with the bedroom lights off). This doesn't bother me that much. I'm keeping it.

I don't think I understand what you are talking about on the second picture. When viewing a black background at night my whole screen has a somewhat grey glow to it. The blobs show up as solid black against the grey.

I don't have mine yet but I went with the blue simply because I hate all white devices.
White
1) The colors are uneven on the blurple model
2) No visible fingerprints anywhere on the device
3) The themes will contrast the bezel better
3) No purple button
4) I plan on making my phone black/white, stormtrooper style

It's a fantastic phone nonetheless, just for me I would much rather have the whole phone the same color shade shade. In the end this will bother us for maybe a week or so before we focus on the more important aspects of the phone (case, roms, updates).

I'm sure it is, but the more I hear people talking about the "purple" home button and the more pics I see where you can clearly tell it's a different shade, the better the white one looks....plus I can go with whatever crazy color I want for the case and it'll match fine. I like that much better.

If you were REALLY bent on making some form of FLIR. A cheap webcam with the infrared filter removed and a IR LED floodlight or just a few LEDs bought online will do the trick for you.
Heck, depending on how sensitive the camera chip is to infrared, you may even be able to 'see' in low light conditions if you have a bright enough IR source.

If an infrared LED is one component that is needed you can buy a flashlight that uses several "modules" and interchange them as needed. For example there are regular LED, incandescent, ultraviolet, flood, throw, blue, red, green, and infrared LED modules. Only problem is that the infrared ones there is some red glow form the led.
Not sure what else i needed to get the cellphone working on night vision.
On another note using a cellphone for night vision is kind of an oxymoron. A webcam hooked so that you can view at a remote location with no light I can see. But with a cellphone the light hitting your eyes from the screen kind of defeats the purpose of night vision.

another problem is that a lot of camera sensors have an IR filter (removing any unwanted effects from the non-visible IR spectrum)
you might have to peel off that filter somehow

I got Titanium because I think the white will get dirty much MUCH faster and white accessories (cases, flip covers, bumpers) just never seem to be the right shade of white making everything look yellow or dirty.
I honestly based my decision on the sales woman's personal white Galaxy S3. It was white with a heavy yellow hue on the front from use and a whiter than white hard case. Looked terrible. That alone was enough to sway me to Titanium because I had arrived with the intention of getting white. Plus the Titanium is far better/richer looking in person than any of the unboxing videos can really show.
and I got the gray because every single chic I work with (and there are about 300 of them) has either a white S3 or a white iphone..........
If this thing only came in white I never would have bought it.

If so, that's a strange place to put an ambient light sensor. Logically, an ambient light sensor should always be facing you because thats how it knows how much light you need for that environment. That's how it is for phones, monitors, and hdtvs as far as I know.
Having a notification LED on the outer edge makes sense to me because then you can see the light even when you have a cover over it.
The [email protected] sensor is placed next to the front camera, only visible in bright daylight.
The plastic on the top is for the antenna according to reddit.
There is also a place at the bottom, maybe a notification led but not active yet?

Guessing it's a sensor or antennae design like the M8.
No LED
Hi
Certainly appears to be an LED at the bottom of the screen in the middle which matches the postion of the LED on the Nexus 7 2013 and Nexus 4 and 5.
Not sure why it isn't working.
The ambient light sensor is to the right of the camera, tested by shining a light at it!
What looks like a plastic translucent spacer that could be an LED in the top trim by the right edge of the speaker is actually nothing more than a painted rectangle! There is no break in the trim at that point, just a bit of paint for a reason completely known to us mortals.

As an update, IFix it have posted tear down pictures.
There is definitely something directly underneath that small clearing in the glass screen above the USB port, see the picture here, the component just above the USB socket on the circuit board https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/1AkZVNkQqSqubWeh
It doesn't look much like a typical surface mount LED, although it could perhaps be a high brightness/high flux LED rather than a Red/Green/Blue LED given the color of it. It could be high flux so it can work at much lower current and still be bright enough for a white indicator.
It might be some other type of sensor altogether. Any ideas?
Regards
Phil
