hi community,
i am just wondering if the pro model has a notification led (aka pulse light) - i tried very hard finding some information about it in youtube videos and web pages but with no success. my guess is that it has one since p20 (with smaller notch) has it and mate 20 light also but i just want to be sure..
thanks!
if you are interested in my research. i have no result yet but two interesting images:
notch explained:

so far...
i got confirmation from huawei that it has one.
I can confirm it has. Using mine now
thanks! how is the size of it? good visible? maybe you could take a picture
can the colors be configured for different apps? like green for whatsapp, blue for messengsr, white for ebay, etc?

Yes any chance of uploading a picture/video of the LED, I'm curious...
I have a P10+ and the light is tiny...pretty crap really, compared to Samsung's.
Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkfZLaS4YGA at 6:16 onwards.
You're welcome./

Ah great thank you!
thanks. looks very good for me.
Can anyone answer thje question as to whether you can see white, purple, yellow, red blue (etc) colours via a 3rd party app like LIGHTFLOW and actually have it work? Or is this limited to 1-3 different LED types given you cannot root the phone.
i must say that Samsung implementation is way better ... more light and more controls...

I too have previously relied on LED to notify me of things using LightFlow, then I got used to AOD on Samsung and didn't need the LED to tell me, but with Mate 20's version of AOD I will need LED notifications..... however, seems that things have changed with Android and LightFlow, limiting its capabilities..... https://www.reactle.com/2018/10/features-removed.html
my mate 20 pro led turns green when it's not fully charged yet (93% and still charging). is this a huawei feature? i assumed most phones only shows green led when it's fully charged.
is this normal?

I was under the impression it turned green once charging hit 90%. Maybe someone will correct me.
Ya it turned green if >90%. A feature that’s not observed in other Brands I’ve used.
Probably useful for those who wants to preserve battery more by avoiding full charge cycles.

Huawei says that 80-20 is the real recommended charge/discharge rate. the first 10% drops FAST, the remaining really doesnt, the last 20% only lasts a few hours
Using my email app (Nine email) I'm able to change the LED notification between red/blue/green/purple and also the duration of flash.
I managed to get light flow to work using the legacy app but it doesn't respect do not disturb mode so not using it as I use that overnight. Just going to let the phone use it's default green light for texts and emails and changed WhatsApp to a white light in the settings.

Looks like an interesting App for controlling your LED notifications. Try it out and report your findings!
Light Flow - LED Control
I used the lite version to test and it worked well. I purchased the full version and it gives you lot of additional options for custom alerts for many apps. I like it.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
So does it work on the Photon? Since the Photon has the red, green, blue and white LEDs can you make the app mix them to make other colors? That will be interesting!
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
This app is terrific. Reminds me of the trackball notification colors on my Nexus one... Just another thing that made the Nexus a great phone. And the Photon is also great phone...
Sent from my Motorola Photon 4g
I like this more for the sound notification control then of the actual light control. the led stuff is pretty cool though.
fyi for anyone trying to use this, you dont need direct access to test your notifications; just turn off the screen after you start the test.

neat app but doesn't work for what i want - which is to see a red light when my battery is charging and a blue light when it's fully charged.
when i plug in phone to charger, there are no lights

I have a feeling that this is a limitation of the ROM which Motorola put on the phone because the LED works when it is charging in 'OFF' Mode, Power off and plug in charger it semi-boots.
Yes just what I was looking for
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Funny thing is that that feature only works when the phone is powered off.

LED colors
I have made a chart of the LED colors that the different settings in Light Flow output. Several of the color settings in Light Flow look similar on the LED. It is hard to get the color of the photograph to look true to the color output, so these are blurry, but fairly close to the actual color.
Blue, Red, and Green are unique.
Bright Pink, Indigo, Magenta, and Purple all output the same. I would call this color Magenta
Cyan, Sky Blue, and Turquoise are the same. It looks Cyan to me
Deep Orange, Gold, Lime (huh?), Orange, and yellow look the same. Basically Orange
Lilac, Pink, and White look the same. This is a pink color
Hope this helps you set up your notifications.

Thanks for posting up that chart. It's really useful to me (I'm the dev of lightflow)
Those colors don't quite look the same as on a Nexus One (which is my main development phone), so it's interesting to see how the photon represents them.
I think I'd agree with sandtiger about the rom not allowing charging on the colors. The app does set this information (and it works on other phones), but not the latest motorola phones.
If you've any questions or requests about the app, just post here and I'll try to respond.
---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 PM ----------
If anyone can get any different looking colors out they would like from the app "led color tester" by coolbeans then give me a shout and I'll try and add them in.
Note if you've got lightflow on your phone you'll need to uninstall lightflow first for led color tester to work as lightflow will override the notification and it won't work.
Hopefully at some point I'll get around to adding an RGB custom option - I did have one in dev, but it kept leaking memory and crashing for some reason.

Nice App!
New illumination notification light bar application available in google play with features to keep your notification light always on, missed call and sms alert.
The illumination bar can blink with constant light and is even optimised for less power consumption for increasing battery life. :good:

The notification LED stops working when LED bar is enabled. Could you fix that? I would love to use your app but would want the notification LED to keep performing as lots of other apps use them.

Here is the link- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.illuminatic
or you can search for 'Illuminatic' in play store
I know but when i try to search for it in the play store app, i see some results but not this one.
And when i try to download it from the play store webpage i can't download because it says this: This item is not compatible with your device
Now i know at least what the reason is why i can't find it with the Play store app.
Strange... do you have any restriction maybe for carriers?
maybe the problem is really my phone but i can wait, so i'll see maybe the next update will work
very nice app! :good: I like the way it blinks
I really missed this "always on" feature, but it does not really work with your app. After a short time the bar illumination is off

If you can be the first one to put in the adjust bar light settings to brightest then that will be the time that this app will be better than the first one released.

Great! Really appreciate your work :good:
Saving battery life is okay, but when I have screen on I want to see the buttons and not search in the dark...
Thanks fab !!
Bar light was set to brightest as default indeed. But only prob is that it doesnt stay on. It keeps waiting for the light to turn off before it turns it back on. Then after a while it goes off and the bar light goes back to your default accorfing to your display when you force it on again.
Hopefully the next update will fix this and let the bar light stay the brightest even if its not always on i dont mind. This app is good. Oh by the way, also doesnt work when screen is on.
Other than than, i appreciate your work illuminatic! Thank you for developing this app!

Hello.
I know that i got only 2 posts, but i hope that is not a problem with you guys
Anyhow,
I was interesed in the LWW notification LEDs and music LED.
Is there any way to control them?
LightFlow doesn't work on my phone, Blink on the other hand does work,
but i'm more interesed in the music LED for notifications.
I've spend hours searching google on some information about it, but i couldn't find a thing. If i'd know how to control that led i'd write an app for that, it's not a problem, but i can't figure out how to actually turn it on - besides walkman app.
I'm thinking of something like using it aditionally with the notif LED, to blink when there's a message, or to stay lit when there's a missed call etc.
I know how to write an app for controlling the notification led, but the music one gives me pain in the... :laugh:
Please, if anyone has any information about our LWW LEDs, it would be much appriciated :fingers-crossed:
I have a wt19 with ICS and new walkman player, i want the lights works too.
Yes I too want a fix for LED problems!
I'm not talking about the useless use of it in walkman.
I'm talking about using the led for notifications, i.e. staying on if having a missed call, flashing when phone is finished with charging, pulsing if we have a new message etc.
I think our led is very usefull due to its location, unlike the real notification led, because it is bigger, and you can see it while sitting / relaxing while ur mobile is not in your close distance (i.e. on a table 1 meter of you, whatever)
any developer listening???
It seems not at the moment, i hope someone will check this thread before it dies :/

good question or questions you want to make the music light the nothifications light, so the questions are if that it's possible and there is no way to flash a fix for the notification LED instead of wait fos Sony to make a 4.0.5?
Using Lasan's mod fixed my problem with notification LED.
notification leds are working for me, i just want to make the music led work as it is a notification led..
i messed with /sys/class/leds/music-light for a bit but couldn't do anything, the "trigger" file is just reverting back to original (selected [none]) whenever i edit it.
any help would be appreciated
as far as notification led is considered it works by lightflow on my lww..
but the music light does not light up properly (it just light up for 2 or 3 seconds and not stable light)

For only LED Notification you can:
-Make Backup first, possible Bootloop-
Works fine on Rooted Stock Sony ICS (4.1.B.0.531).
Odex: you have in /system/framework some *.odex files you must deodex, goto 1
Deodexed: no *.odex files in /system/framework nothing to do, goto 2
1. deodex /system/framework, 2 possible Methods:
- use xUltimate from this Post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24876893&postcount=1 or
- use Deodex Patch from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26701025&postcount=1 Flash in CWM
2. install in CWM services.jar from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27696120&postcount=1 (File: DeodexedNotificationLedFix.zip)
I used Deodex Patch and DeodexedNotificationLedFix.zip for my Xperia Mini (ST15) and it works fine, only thing is the LED is blinking very fast.
My rom is the official ICS for LWW, is odexed or deodexed?
Hey Guys,
I wonder if the 1 III still has notification light. Anyone saw something?
Greetings
Well, maybe you'll be able to spot it.
I couldn't but most likely it just blends in very well. I watched a similar video on Xperia 1 II and couldn't spot it either (II has the led).
Even more, all the Sony phones I've seen have it. So I will be really surprised and disappointed if 1 III does not.

Light Manager 2 changes the color of the LED but not the flashing frequency
I hope this notification led to be bigger.
Anyone remember great W980 calmshell and its transparent plastic part with orange led inside? This was acting as notification led and looked awesome!
I wonder why they no longer create so beautiful phones like W980
Now we just have a "dot" but it is still better than nothing.
I still hope for xperia 1 Arc flagship, maybe with some of this W980 design?
how do you know what the light means? sometimes i see white and sometimes green (when not charging). all i do know is when charging, orange means charging and green charged.
Red color means battery level is 15% or below.
Orange color means battery level is between 15 - 90% and charging.
Green color means battery level is 90% or higher.
Now different apps may show notifications / blinking notifications with different colors. For example in what's app you can choose what color notification led should have for notifications coming from this app so that tou know it is coming from what's app
Anyone know if there are any other apps to customise the led notification light aside from light manager 2?
Another problem I noticed is the following. When the phone is on standby with the ambient display activated when a new notification comes the screen is not activated although I have selected it in the settings. This of course also happens in Samsung but applications like glimpse notification work there. It does not work on Sony, however. Have you found a solution for this? Also for the ambient display it should have an activation schedule
Hi, i just received my new Mi 11i, i did some testing and i discovered that all the upper part of the screen is brighter, especially on low brightness. Is this an hardware problem or can be fixed via software? Am i the only one experiencing this?
To check, set "Color settings on original", refresh rate on 120hz (at 60hz the screen seems better) and set brightness on low. Then open any app with grey background (like chrome).
NOTE: I already asked for replacement once, this is the second phone with the same problem (so maybe it is a software issue? Or maybe i'm only unlucky)

hes not unlucky, its basically common for amoled panel, but some people never realise that they have exactly same green tint on their own phone bcs setup of phone need to be on specific scenario, lowest brightness, dc dimming (if phone have it), hz, display colour mode on enchased, also viewer need to be in completely dark room and in background of phone need to be specific colour similar to google play store colour in dark mode then grint tint is visible. This is completely normal for amoled and it can be reduced by software updates. but not completely fixed.

not common amoled , xiaomi is the most brand that affected this tint harware issue ,i have been used most of xiaomi's recent amoled phone,all of them got this green tint,it just a matter of how visible the tint scale are.
maybe because of cost cutting quality.

I don't think its a cost cutting quality, xiaomi doesn't manufacture amoled.
