[Q] LED Notification? - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does this phone have an LED light on it? For the life of me I cant seem to verify if it does or doesnt. Ive been pondering this phone for weeks now as Im starting to get bored with the HTC One M8. Hoping a move to the Sony will satisfy the urge for a bit. Just hoping I dont regret going with an international phone with no warranty. Crossing my fingers as I just bought one on ebay from never MSRP.

Yes, it's bar shaped above sony logo

Yes, it has an RGB-Notification-LED in the upper speaker.

Ok thanks!

Would be nice if it was a 3 led notif light
Id turn it into a knight rider LED XD
But some info
:the led isnt too bright to where staring at it kills your eyes but its vibrancy is nice, isnt kinda dim like Z1

[Q] Issue: light seeping through touch button

Hi guys
On my SGS2 when the touch buttons are lite part of the light seeps through the gap of the hard button. Does anyone else have this?
I can only see it when it's pretty dark but its very annoying.
I don't have this :s

Yeah, I have it too, but it's not too bad and only visible from certain angles and in a dark room.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Yeah I sometimes have itbut almost rarely, and like the other guy said only from certain angles when I'm looking for it. I put pressure on the button in that direction and it disappears usually

Ive got this very slightly on the right hand side. I also notice when im reading a web page with a black background the very bottom left has a white spot/pixel, it goes away when you start scrolling. Anyone else got the same problem?

Glad im not the only one who has this. Worth returning over?

Personally It doesn't bother me, its hard to notice and even when I can see it, its really tiny. So to me not a problem

Im guessing you have Optus stock as well?
When you look at the touch button straight on can you see the light?
Mine has the same issue but i dont care.
I can only see it when I'm using the phone when it's completely dark
My wife has a mole but shes still beautiful, can we not get a little obsessed with perfection with our phones? It is after all the slimmest, lightest, dual core power house smart phone out there....forgive its quirks?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
My phone did this at first but it went away after a couple weeks as the home button got better seated through use. Definitely not worth returning over.
same here, right hand side!
this was the reason for me to switch off the button lights in settings. looks better anyway
It has to be pretty dark...
didnt realise you could turn the light off
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
send it back, complain to samsung, demand they redesign the handset!
erm...
This will make it heavier and bulkier!!!
Happens to mine and there is NO PROBLEM with it. Be happy!

And more expensive. All these perfectly good handsets getting returned for new ones have to be paid for somehow.
I switched mine off looks so much better, per sonly I wish it was all black like the nexus s, i think that looks so sexy
Have it too, but dont matter !! I am a perfectionist too ( 620 euros it is for a phone !! ) but i think... i mean ... returning it for this????
If it is same as anyone elses in here its BARELY visible and you should try to find it again.. enjoy your phone. ( there are great chances of getting a same unit back, cause its a design thing i think )
Hey,
have it as well. But I don't really mind.

LED Notifications

Has anyone heard if this phone will have a multi colored LED, or just the lame orange/green one..

They will probably stick with the green/amber just like ALL the other HTC phones have had. Id rather HTC put a camera with a better ccd/cmos sensor in than a multi-colored led.
Id rather then do both and also up the damn battery to 2 days use lol

I agree.....they can and should improve the camera.....and I'd take a thicker heavier phone in order to have at least a 2000mah-2200mah battery in there.....and my old tilt aka touch pro had all types off led colors on that bad boy!!!

There's no reason they could't spend an extra .001 cents per phone and put in a multicolored LED. Plenty of other HTC phones have had them too FYI.
I've had red, green, amber and blue on my current og evo. I dont see y we won't at least have the current colors we have.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Has it been confirmed to have one? The Nexus S i'm using now doesn't have one which I think is ridiculous!
But yea, multi-colored would be awesome. The Droid had one and it was cool to be able to customize it based off of what notification it was.

Mine never did. Actually after an update a while ago it Jo longer gave me colors. Just green, amber, and red because those are the only colors the led supports.
I like the nice green wimax led across from the main led. But the only time I've seen it work on messages is on the MUIU ROM.

Not all evos have the blue for whatever reason... my first one did. My replacement doesn't.

Now I'm pissed!! You mean to tell me the evo does have blue !! Can anyone else confirm this? What hardware rev. has this? 002? 003?
And which led is it? the left one or the right(wimax) one?
Some ppl have found a way to mix yellow and green to get a blueish/purpleish color. But that's not the same as a blue led !!
I take back what I last said, I currently have the latest version of handcent and it only offers the green or amber light for text. So I have no clue about a blue one. I hope the E3D has one. I mean, isn't it suppose to for Bluetooth so you know its connected lol??????
HTC EVO = my best friend
Its the notification led. Sorry, I don't remember what revision it was... It was very much blue, and not a mix. It surprised me a lot the first time... facebook used it.
yeah I agree, It would be cool to have a 256 color led, Id have one color be sms, one for missed call, one for voicemail, and random color strobe for incoming call.
That would be pretty sick but ill just be happy with a blue light! And a back cover with a blue camera ring instead of red

This phone really turns heads!

Everyone who sees the phone loves the build quality and the screen, especially iphone users. They also love the animation when the screen turns off. I think some people are definitely considering it after seeing mine!

The build quality is really amazing...feels like a solid hunk of glass.
Agreed.
My roommate got the SG3 a few days before I got my LGOG.
I don't think she got enough hands-on time with this phone in the store and is regretting her purchase.
Yeah. Build quality is indeed great. Except for the flimsy and cheap feeling power and volume buttons. I have the ATT version. I don't know if other versions have better quality buttons.
This is probably the highest quality phone I've ever had. It really does have a solid feel and even though it feels heftier, its thinner than my sgs2

If I remember correctly, I think the Sprint version has a bit of a classier look.
http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/LG-Optimus-G-AT-T---Sprint-Review_id3154
If you scroll down a bit you can see a pop-up comparison of the two.
The buttons are nice, but really slim so I feel we have a bit of an advantage as an AT&T customer.
Not to mention the AT&T's version design is just beautiful. Prefer it over Sprint's any day.
All three versions are beautiful imo. No expandable storage and sparse LTE makes the Sprint version a no buy for me.
I have the AT&T version and tbh I'm a little jealous of the Sprint one. It's a little thinner but taller which is what I would prefer. But other than that one little nitpick I love this phone.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
But the Sprint version doesn't have the power button notification light does it? Also, I am in an area that requires an Airrave to get Sprint service (less than .5MB) and getting 10MB down in same spot. It took me a bit to find battery % in settings/battery saver then down at the bottom although I am happy to have it

The Sprint version has a front light led by the ear pieces rather than a power button light.

Do Sprint users have the same infrequent LED problem or is that just AT&T? The LED by the power button is nice and all...but problem is I rarely see it unless I'm looking for it.

By normal do you mean every 30 seconds? Because that is the flash rate of the LED light. I have the Sprint version and it bothers the heck out of me.
Sent from my super fast Optimus G!!!
Yeah that seems to be LG's "normal" flashing rate, haha. Not sure who came up with that idea.
That LED interval is really annoying.
I love the look of the LED on the power button... but it is a little out of the way. I feel like it was treated like the ugly step-child that has to stay out of sight when company is over...
That coupled with the flash rate almost guarantee that I don't notice a notification.
I'm used to being able to change the flash frequency with CM and Miui.
My old phone was set to like 3 seconds. Haha. Just had to glance over and had a really strong idea if I had a notification or not.
Oh well, the phone is still solid and sexy as anything.
Blows my old phone out of the water every other way.
(On a side note, anybody know if the LED can do other colors? I really liked having a aqua/cyan colored LED.)

Bump.
I'd like to confirm this as well. I think the AT&T LG Optimus G (E970) only has a red LED notification light around the power/wake button.

It's red only, correct.
I absolutely love mine but in my country its quite the opposite, here Samsung is the only android game in town and anything made by Lg is seen as crap. Bad for them, good for me hehe

Who else thinks the notification lights on the DNA are absolutely useless...?

When I have a Google Now notification, which is almost all the time, the notification lights blink. And since the lights only come with three colors, and it seems almost all notifications use the SAME color, I never know if it's flashing because my battery is low, if I have an email, text, or a Google Now notification, missed call, voicemail, etc!
If only Lightflow worked on the stock DNA, then I could at least change colors for some of these things. So irritating.

I have to agree, especially because the light is so dim, I never notice it unless I'm staring right at it.
agreed. i also think that the same led powers both lights. I could be wrong, but they are useless for me as well
Personally I LIKE the fact that they are useless. I hate annoying blinking lights.
They do shine fine in the dark I guess.

Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
The point isn't whether you prefer notification lights or not but that HTC chose to implement them and therefore it is reasonable to expect them to serve their purpose adequately, which they don't. They truly are almost useless being as dim and color-unchangeable as they are (not to mention how far recessed into the speaker grill the front light is).
Sent from my SCH-I605
They could've been a tad bigger imho... I rarely even notice it flashing until I actually pick the phone up and look at it... And at that point I mine as well turn the display on to check. Lol

ummm yeah.... the notification light isn't exactly HTC's strongest feature.
I like how they tried to implement them, I like them on both sides and think it could be very well done. With that said they are very dim and pretty weak so they aren't that useful.
I personally find it rather useful for certain things. I often have my phone face down (which I feel is the position it was designed to sit in) and the rear notification light has been really helpful this far.

instead of blinking, some notifications would stay a solid color even after making it set to blink. some colors would show up as other colors. horribly, awful battery drain.
lightflow was great on the gnex and terrible on the s3.
Wait, I was unaware the notification led was 3 colors? What are these colors? I'm assuming green, orange, and...?
I'm getting the phone tomorrow though

I guess my main problem is the fact that the led comes on even for Google Now notifications, and I have those on all the time. I can somewhat live with the limited colors, but because the light comes on for Google Now (and like I said, I always have those on), I never know if I have any other notifications because the light is always blinking.

i would love a s3 sized lamp on the s3. I can see if i had a message from a mile away. particularly useful when im at the gym and my phone is on another bench. I miss that

Well that was anti-climactic.

Notification light limitations?

Anyone know what the color options are for the LED (s)? I'm messing around with light flow without much success.
It seems the back one only does orange and the front us yellow green or red?
Thanks in advance

I recall reading somewhere light flow not working on droid DNA right now, they need to update.

They should both be able to do green, orange, and yellow.
Both of them have a green led and a orange led, and if they are both on it makes yellow.

it works, kinda.... Really what I use lightflow for is not so much the actual light, although it was nice with my gnex, its more so for the repeating notifications with custom ringtones/sounds for different contacts. I am able to get that by just turning off every led notification and just use the sound and vibration. When ever I tried to use the lights I just had problems, so I gave up on them, besides, the front LED is maybe the worst I have ever seen, and I hardly ever see the back as I lay my phone down with the screen up. So yes, lightflow works, just not 100% as its name would suggest.
Yeah in really hoping it ends up having a little more control over the front LED. I relied on the difference between white/red/pink for text/call/whatsapp on my Nexus and was really hoping for the ability to do that on this phone.
At this point I just wanna get the light to stay solid rather than blinking...
