Xperia U - wrong colors of illumination bar - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi mates.
Its my 1st post on XDAforums and i wanna claim that my eng isnt perfect.
I flashed unofficial roms, so warranty is void now.
I have got annoying problem with illumination bar of my Xperia U. It shows wrong colors. I tried Unofficial JB4.1.2 UltraLite v7 rom and everything was fine. I was using LUC to set notifications of Illumination bar with sms.
Yesterday my problem has started. Illumination bar shows wrong color ,when i order whole bar to show white/silk ,center diode shows pink color. Right and left diode are fine, but center diode misses colors all the time.
Same happens when i pick other colors - when i pick blue ,center diode is purple ,when i pick yellow ,center is green.
I flashed stock 4.0.4 rom for Xperia u now, and problem still exists.
Do you know any solution?
I wish you can help me.
Cheers.

i'm also having the same problem but sometimes it goes back to normal(the center led is not illuminating with green color).
is it repairable by service center or is it just a software bug??

Simple way of checking for a software bug is to flash or restore stock ics and see if the problem persist its a hardware issue and if not then a software bug

Any ST25i custom roms with working led bar?

Hello,
I tried several custom roms for Xperia U posted in xda, but not even one has the led bar working like in stock rom.
I'm now with stock 6.1.1.B.1.10 with Munenjis kernel plus some other mods and toggles.
So are there any roms with fully working led bar for Xperia U (ST25i)?
Thanks in advance,
:highfive:

I'm almost givig up of the led bar features because the dialer, contacts and sms in stock rom lag like hell, not to mention that when somebody calls me, first the phone vibrates, then the led lights up, then it starts ringing and only after that the screen comes on, a good 3-4 secs.
Thanks for your reply, :good:

in CM the led bar turns on when needed like for notifications, low battery, charging and some others. most xperia u users say they have bad battery support so most of them would be happy with led turning on as less as possible

Didn't knew a new fxp was out, going to try it later. But theres another thing in cyanogen mod that for me i consider a major bug, you can't edit contacts in the phone, only in gmail :silly:

Sorry but the led must be the thing that wastes less battery, everybody knows that leds almost don't consume energy.
The hungry battery eaters are: phone trying to have good network signal, 3G, Data traffic, screen/brightness, wireless, bluetooth, vibration...
I think that in the list above the leds of the led bar (there's the led of the camera) would be the thing that consumes less battery.
Just my 2 cents
For anyone that's interested here are the links for SXU newest FXP207:
Rom: http://unrestrict.li/fxp (CyanogenMod9 / FXP207 / kumquat)
Don't forget you have to come from 6.1.1.B.1.54 FW then fastboot flash the boot.img that's in the ROM

Led bar fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38057325&postcount=729
I'll try it later, waiting for your feedback :good:
Already tried it.
Bugs:
Even with the ilumination bar fix, the only color that the leds emit is white. Using ilumination bar notification app won't fix it.
Network signal in statusbar only turns blue if you have an active data or wireless connection, otherwise its grey.
In the original trebuchet launcher the separator line of the dock in the homescreen magically reappears in blue, even if it isn't ticked in options.
That's the 1st 3 i can remember, back to stock :victory:

I've been using the eXperince V2 ROM now for about 3 weeks, occasional lag on an incoming call if I'm in a game, but other than that I'm error free, and I mean even the illumination bar works fine. I recommend it to anyone with an Xperia U. Tried CM9, too glitchy, debating 9.3, tempted but after the last one I'm wary. eXerience V2, AWESOME ROM!!

[Q] [Xperia P] Transparent bar stays illuminated when phone put to sleep

I updated to JB 4.1 today, and ever since everything has mostly been flawless except for one odd bug where the transparent bar will stay backlit after my phone is put to sleep. Does anyone know what could be causing the problem?
I did have the Illumination Bar Notification app installed, but deactivating it doesn't seem to help.

If you are on 4.1.2 The smart stay icon will just showup when the screentimeout time is reached and the nfc wont show up.
4.2.2 the smart stay icon will show up all the time if you turn it on

[Q] Notification led brightness

Hi,
I've updated my xperia ray to a new CM10 based rom (Racing Bean v3.1-6 N, latest version).
But now my notification led looks very dimmed. It's almost impossible to see if the led is flashing.
Before I was using FXP2xx and the led was much brighter.
Does anyone know a solution to make the led brighter?
Does this work for CM10, because it's made for stock rom? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212944
Thanks in advance!

need a real fix for yellow tint display

guys i had my redmi note 3 screen replaced
noy my new screen has a weird yellow tinted display
i have turned the disply settings to cool but still there is some yellowness to it
any idea how can i get the same display colors like i had before
i have compared it with two other redmi note 3 with tianma display and they look amazing
Turn off the live display in settings
there is no live display option in miui bro
i think this option is in custom roms but not.in miui

It's read mode on miui bro.
Sent from my Redmeme Note 3 with VoLTE disabled.
i obviously know what read mode is and it is turned off mahn
this display is stil a bit yellow
Helllo, I had the exacly same problem as you until I flashed a new ROM and the yellow tint disappeared. Maybe the screens have different manufacturers and need different settings to work correctly, so when flashing a new ROM it detects the new screen and applies the correct settings.

okay bro i will.try flashing a new rom
did you flash custom rom or a miui rom ?
Maybe you can try to edit the display configurations with a kernel editor. I don't know if it works on stock kernel though.

I had this problem last year and I flashed cm 13 but I think that any rom should do the trick.
thnx fir the suggestion.mahn
will try it
I also had the same issue. Go to setting, display settings, color n contrast. There will be three modes (warm) which is yellowish then (standard) slightly less yellowish and then (cool) select cool and you will see the same display which you saw when you got the phone.
