As per title, it seems the Flashlight app's illumination intensity is slightly darker than that of the camcorder. Is anybody else experiencing this?
Because of that, I am using LED Light app. Any other I tried was weak.
Probably try to avoid burning the flashlight
Hi,
I installed tesla flashlight and it was on a weak led light but still i didn't notice anything weird.
Then rooted the phone with super one click and went to film something and the led was weak as in tesla flashlight.
Now I wonder what did it. I already had to trade this defy phone because the first one came with 3 dead pixels. Now I have to do it again for a bad led light?
Is it a defect in production or what? I have barelly used this led, even with photos dare say any flashlighting was only for testing.
I have had a nokia xm5800 for like 2 years+ and the led still works fine.
Did anyone else have this or manage to solve it? I am in Brazil, so it it a LA version of the phone...
Cheers,
Andrew
I just got my Z2 and my led light very weak with any torch app. For flash photo much stronger but to compare any other phoe is still half the strenght. I compared to moto g, s3, s4, Nexus4-5.
Is this my phone fault or this is the led that Sony had put in this top phone?
Unfortunately I think it's normal. I have the same thing.
Yup I confirm it's dim. It might be coz of the small led size.
how they can miss a such a feature. I use my phone as a torch all the time. this Z2 led is a joke! Seriously my 5 years old dell streak had better led.
but the photo flash definitely stronger then any torch app so the hardware capable , maybe somebody can write an app to adjust the strength
I have the AT&T H900 V10 and I can't figure out how to keep the second screen from dimming when the main screen is off. It's so dim that I can't see it unless it's directory in front of my face, and no buttons seem to brighten it without during the main screen on. Is this something that can be changed? I'm not worried about battery life since it stays plugged in 99% of the time.

So far there doesnt seem to be any way to control this, other than covering the light sensor until the second screen goes off, then letting it come back on at greater brightness for 3 seconds or so until it dims again. Maybe LG is trying to make sure it doesn't drain battery but maybe they will adjust it with updates or give us control over it.
It pretty much makes the second screen useless as I can't see any notification without turning on the main screen.... and no LED light so this kind of makes me want to rage.
Does Moto Z come with notification light at all?
I've heard 2 different answers, can anyone who owns one confirm this pls.
i've noticed moo g4 plus there is no mention of led light but when charging there's a hidden light, see link below. Perhaps the same coud be true for moto z.
http://www.ubergizmo.com/2016/05/moto-g4-plus-has-hidden-led-light/
Z owners try the following
Turn phone off and insert charger.
G4 plus has a hidden notification light, next to the fingerprint reader is only visible trying the above method.
no lights, when phone is on you need to wave your hand over the sensor next to the FP reader and the screen will light up with your notification
It's only the fourth year it's been this way.
How many threads do you need to post the same question? Is it really necessary to post in the Z force section too!?!? One is enough imo. Senior member too..

I have had a dim red light illuminate on the right side of the finger print scanner closer to the right edge then the scanner but no directly on the edge. I have the white Z, so the areas are much more evident. I was baffled as to why it was illuminated or exactly what it was and shortly after seeing it it was gone. I thought for a moment it was some sort of IR thing, but no idea. Very dim but clearly visible as a red light in a dark room. I've tried to see what I could do to make it reappear but no clue what brought it on.

I have a 2014 Moto X and my IR sensors do this. I'm positive that's what you're seeing.
Possible notification light on MOTO Z Play
I tried to flash TWRP recovery of other devices into my MOTO Z Play hoping to find a way to root. However all the recoveries of previous MOTO devices are not compatible, and after flashing a small white light located right to the speaker bar blinked. Don't know wether this light was evoked by TWRP recovery or error in fastboot, and why it didn't appear when phone was on.

I've seen the same white light after updating last night. It seems to be similar to the green light on the Moto x 2014 I have. So maybe after cracking the bootloader unlock code and rooting there will be some function. But it probably won't work as you are hoping. But as has been mentioned it's been this way for years on these devices.
Waiting for more answers...
I don't know why Motorola didn't just activate by default, perplexing decision to include some sort of notification light but not activate it.

I don't like LED Notifications, but as Moto Display doesn't keep the screen on when notifications are received at least the LED should be working...

That's one of the main reasons it should have notification light.

If the led is really present as it seems to be, probably this app will be updated soon to add Moto Z compatibility... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.akexorcist.motoxled&hl=en
There is a light!

My phone went down to 0% and when I plugged it in a white light started to flash. Still flashing now.

No it's to the left of that. It's behind something
I have the moto Z and can confirm the white light, I have seen it when flashing a firmware and rebooting I think.
But is like mentioned, back of something.
I have the Moto Z Force. It is right near the speaker grill on the right side. Just got a security update for nougat and it rebooted and for a second there was a tiny white light there. Kinda like the droid turbo I had, but that didn't turn on till I dropped it in water lol.
It is quite bright, especially at night. Is there a way to control its brightness?
My Xperia 1 III is rooted if that's needed.
Thank you.
I just put the phone screen facing down
This is a technical forum and expects technical response to the asked question.
That's weird. My xqbc62-v notification LED is dim and has a narrow viewing angle. I can only see it at night.
I think there are multiple hardware revisions of this phone. My first phone was purple and crashed constantly. I returned it and bought a new one later. It's purple, but so dark that it looks back except under direct sun.
I see what you mean now. The BC62 notification LED used to track ambient light and it was always relatively dim. Starting with the Android 12 update, it's max brightness all the time. It's annoying at night.
Yep I can confirm that the LED is much brighter after A12 update. I charge the phone wirelessly at night beside my bed so putting it face-down is not an option. ;-)
What I have found to work is completely unscientific but works every time for me. I use a cable so not sure if it will do the same for wireless. After I plug it in I too notice that the LED is too bright. So I wait a minute or more and unlock the phone with my fingerprint (while the charging cable is still plugged in) and then double tap the screen to relock the phone. I use Nova Prime as my launcher which allows me to double tap to lock. Usually doing this makes the LED dim down considerably. Sometimes I have to do it 2 or 3 times but it always ends up working. YMMV
Anyone knowing a 2ay to disable the LED while charging? Maybe via adb command?
