What's with the notification light on this thing? - Nexus 10 General

Is it normal for the notification light to barely work? Most of the time it barely works, but once in a while it comes on. Same with using light flow... Same condition. I am stock, rooted, Trinity kernel, nothing else. Anyone have a perfectly working light? I've tried factory reset, re flashing, etc. I am hoping this isn't a hardware problem but I think I would take a good screen ice a good notification light.

Mine hasn't worked since I got it last week. Reading around the forum it would appear that it is not uncommon. I think it is a bug within the OS, some folks have had luck forcing it on using some app in the Play Store, while others have not been so well off.

Some people have had success getting the notification light to work by rebooting when charging. This worked for me but I know it hasn't worked for everyone.

Problem must be in Google software. Mine too was the like described above while stock. I just installed AOKP & the rom has a led-light settings control. In it you can set colors, blink time & rate, etc. Works fine for whatever you have set it for.

I've had the same issue with mine. If I boot while plugged in the light works.

mine seems to be working just fine

It's really weird that some people on stock are having problems with the notification lights... I'm assuming you have the settings for pulse notification on... and also that you know that on stock, the LED lights up only when the screen is off...
That said, I've had no problems with the LED notifications with custom ROM (my AOSP+, AOKP, CM10.1 & Evervolv)... haven't use PA, so I can't comment there!!

Only saw this while on stock. No issues with CM10.1

I've gone through three units for various issues. The first two had a perfectly working LED, the one I kept only works when booted while plugged in. So it's random and not a user issue at all.

Wait a minute. This thing has a notification light? I received mine yesterday and it hasn't worked yet. I charge it and nothing whether it's on or off. Can I turn it on?
Edit: WTF!!!! Just to make sure I plugged it in while the screen was on and nothing. I will give this tablet some credit on the the quality and awesome hardware it has but just from having it since yesterday I'm getting really pissed at the lagging in the browser and gaming. I know I can install the aokp browser and that will fix one issue but to fix the other I'm going to have to install an overclockable kernel to boost things to see if it helps. Then from what I've read, once you do that you might have overheating issues!!!! Geese!!!

The notification light works once you restart the tablet with the charger plugged in

Just throw lightflow on it and be done with it. Mine wasnt working either, but put lightflow on it and it works great now.

Nine kinda does it's own thing. We have an understanding.

All of the units I've had so far have had a working notification light no matter how I've turned it on. If yours only randomly blinks from time to time, RMA it.

Easier said than done. The replacement may have light bleed or dust under the screen. The three replacements after that might have issues too.

Once I switched roms it was fine. It's all in the stock ROM. Cm, pa, etc all have good notification light operation.

Guys don't get me wrong. I love this damn thing. The screen is awesome and I installed ocean browser and disabled chrome and it Friggin FLIES in internet browsing. Was getting very frustrated yesterday though until I installed the new browser. One problem solved and only one more to go with stopping the lag in gaming. I know the hardware can handle it but I guess it's down to the thermal throttling from what I understand. If we can fix that and keep it from overheating this thing would be unstoppable.
Edit: the notification light thing just irritates me a little having spent over 500 on this thing and it everything not working out of the box. I know I could fix it with light flow but I shouldn't have to do that.

Screen flickering, anyone else?

I've had my Evo for 1.5 weeks now and last Thursday I started having an odd flickering issue with the screen. On any light colors, ie pictures, lighter app backgrounds...you can see the colors flickering as if the refresh rate isn't quick enough. It's not the whole screen, only the area of color that the screen doesn't like. It started with only on max brightness, but now I can notice it on 50% brightness. I'm assuming this isn't normal and I should exchange my phone? Thanks.
Completely stock rom unrooted.
Sounds like bad backlight, replace.
I have noticed this as well. Especially going to the Play Store. The odd part is that it doesn't show up within games, at least for me.
If you turn off auto backlight does it happen? I think I see what appears to be flicker but it is the backlight adjusting. Happens when I first turn the screen on as the weather comes in. Also, it happens when I go back and forth from my messaging app to the homescreen. It is like the backlight is adjusting the brightness slightly. If I turn off auto brightness I get nothing.

Mine is not set on auto. It does it when I manually set it to around 60 percent or higher. It's not obnoxious but it is obvious on lighter colors. Light grays, some whites, light blues. Otherwise my phone is perfect and I hesitate to take it back in case a replacement brings a worse problem. I just wonder if it is something that would get worse. It has stayed the same so far.

FYI to OP and anyone else who may see the flicker. After doing a little reading it looks like the One X was plagued with this as well. HTC released an OTA that seems to have fixed the issue. You can follow a lot of the progress regarding it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597448
Looks like it was the exact same thing that I have noticed on my device. To save you some reading, you can skip to the last 10 pages or so and see that the update they sent out fixed most peoples issues. Hopefully they will have one pushed for us at some point.
Thanks for the link. so now I don't know if I hold onto my phone and hope for an update, or go and exchange for a new one.
I want to root my phone, but not until this screen flicker is taken care of!
I ONLY have this issue in the stock messaging app. Never any other time! It's so odd. But I'm not worried because of the fact that it's isolated to an app.

finally i know I'm not crazy!! This has been happening to me too. Hope an OTA will resolve.
I'd say maybe message HTC support and let them know so that if they aren't aware already they will be.

I went ahead and contacted support, I'll let you know what they say if they get back to me before I leave for vacation tomorrow. I suggest anyone else having an issue do the same.
i get a weird flicker too, but its like the app closes real fast and opens back up at lightning speed.
it doesnt look hardware related, just software.

I'm having this issue too. I've only seen it maybe a half dozen times and it's always been while typing a text message if I remember correctly. Mine is just like a brief millisecond blur.
so am I one of the VERY few having this issue? It looks like it's ALL OVER the One X forums, but no one is saying anything here. Most of the replies in this thread don't sound like my issue either, but the majority of the OneX complaints sound exactly like my issue. It's isolated to lighter colors, especially grays. It gets worse as my brightness is turned up. For example, if I look at a picture, only the blues may flicker, while the rest of the picture is solid.
Anyone?

I am having what you are having. I did get a reply back from HTC. It was a generic reply and one of the things they suggested was to do a battery pull. This was an email I sent to the EVO 4G LTE specific thread. I just sort of laughed it off. Mine hasn't become any worse and everything else on my device is perfect, even the color balance settled in, so I just decided to hang on to it and maybe they will fix it in an update like they did with the One X.
great to see a new thread picking up more attention than the one i started. i noticed this on my first evo and replaced it twice! all three had/have the screen flicker. i strongly believe its software related like others have mentioned, so dont give up on it yet

[Q] LED Notification Frequency

Has anyone found anyway to change the frequency the LED flashes with notifications? I've searched around and haven't found anything. I tried out a few apps but none seemed to change the power button LED.
Nope, i was fine with it until i saw my gfs gs3 light up like an xmass tree to let her know she got a text message.
Ours works but its pretty lackluster.
The only hope for a faster LED is when the ROMs start coming out that give control of it. And who knows if it'll even have the ability to be changed then. Stuck with a 25 second gap (for now).

25 seconds between flashes!? I've seen a E971 (Rogers variant) flash its front notification led and it was on for about a second off for two.
Can anyone clarify the blinking pattern on the AT&T model please? I'm thinking of getting the AT&T version due to expandable storage...

25 seconds (may)be a little drastic, but no one's really sure why there's such a time difference with the notifications.
Next time you get a text or something, check how often the light around the power button goes off. It's pretty annoying.

Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
It's definitely just twenty five seconds haha. If your phone is locked during the time you get the notification, the power button will immediately glow red for about two to three seconds, turn off, and the light will come back on in twenty five seconds and so forth.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Very much useless compared to other phones I've had. With the long intervals between blinks and short duration of the blink, I almost never notice it. I just periodically hit the power button to see the lock screen rather than try and wait out the indicator light.
It's really only a problem if your phone is on silent and you haven't checked on it every once in awhile.
A theory to negate this minor flaw is to have a repeat notification (sound) feature for when you hear your phone but you're too busy to check it.
I'm not sure if this option is available, and if it's not, maybe it could be suggested to a dev and implemented somewhere.
Sometimes the charging indication stops blinking too at about 80%, although I thought I read somewhere the batteries only really charge to 80% to last longer, so there may be some tweaking that needs done. I like the gradual brightness it does too sort of how the HTC Fusz phones would look like they are breathing when charging.
My SG3 did light up like crazy, but was too bright and only worked with Samsung apps- K9 Email for instance had weird blinking and only blinked in the default color which for a tri-color was a waste. My Atrix HD blinked all the way home from the Activation SMS then never blinked again for the whole week I put up with it then returned it, so I think I can live with 25sec for now. It kind of reminds me of Knight Rider too and I like Red over blue/green.
Yeah my roommate actually has a SG3 and her LED light drives me insane. It's just way too bright, frequent, and distracting. Not exactly a phone you can sit on your desk and just ignore while trying to do something else.
Has anyone tried something like light flow from the play store to see if it can change the interval?
I've been following this phone because I hope to steal my wife's upgrade next month . I haven't fully decided, but I'm really leaning towards the lgog.

It looks like a recent update of the light flow app added nexus 4 support, so that might be useful for the lgog.

App for capacitive buttons ?

on old gingerbread phones without led notifications there used to be a kernel maybe Franco don't recall that had the ability to flash the capacitive buttons. That would be key on our G anyone know if its possible?

Bln support. Built into kernel. Then the app will work
the best phone ever
Yes that was it I remember the app and the kernel dependency now if someone would do this lol

Crazy enough there is an app that can do it. It's working on mine. You wouldn't expect it to work though but it does. The app if Light Flow. You have to enable the app to control the buttons light. It does work but seems to cause a full wakelock.

From my understanding that only Samsung phones can use bln. But on another note why would you want that when we have a very bright led on the power button?
Edit: while that would look clean with the front buttons for notification that would give some drain battery drain not worth it to me since we already have a led light for notification. While wouldn't be my first choice for the location, they should have done it like the sprint model.

Aside from the side location, the other issues with that notification light are 1) the fact that it only blinks ever 30 seconds or so, with no option to change the frequency, and 2) instead of an RGB LED, apparently LG only put a red one in, thus making it impossible to differentiate between different notifications.
If frequency can be fixed, I'd be happy. Otherwise, getting the capacitive buttons to each indicate a certain notification seems like a great alternative.

There would be so little battery drain you would never notice. Also, if you turn off the red led and only use the front capacitive leds the "drain" would be equaled out. I used BLN before and it is amazing. Would love to see it on the LGOG.

turn off your lights or go in a dark room. They DO light up and if yours don't, you have an issue.

Mine have been intermittent. Sometimes they light up and most of the time they don't. I love it when they work, it really helps. I keep missing the right spot for the back button unless I can see it. Mine would turn on when I rotated the phone to landscape and then go off again when rotated back to portrait. For the last hour they've been on all the time.
I just tried the light sensor theory and it's 100% right. I shined a bright flashlight at the ambient light sensor and the buttons turned off. Took the flashlight away and the buttons turned back on.
edit: crap, I spoke too soon. They turned off again and now won't turn on no matter what I do. They came on for a few seconds and then went off again. Now they're still off. I look forward to seeing them again soon, just wish I knew what makes them stay lit up.

My keys don't turn on unless I'm in a totally dark room, with no lights on anywhere. Frankly I think it's pretty stupid. I can't see the keys at all for about 90% of the time I'm using it. It would be nice to have a switch to just turn them on and leave them on. Maybe a widget but would probably require root.

If this phone weren't so awesome in every other way the (un)lighted buttons would be a deal breaker for me. It's pissing me off although I know eventually I'll get used to where the keys are supposed to be. The few times when the keys light up makes me pissed off for all the times when they don't.
If your keys stay lit all the time there must be a setting somewhere to turn them on. ??
Maybe a poll would be appropriate - see if this is a big problem or if I have a defective phone.

Screen won't turn on after calls

During a call my screen turns off like normal but just recently when it turns off, I can't turn it back on even when pressing the power or home button. There are rare occasions where even when I'm not on the phone, I can't turn the screen on.. It always results in a battery pull then it works fine again. My phone was normal and working perfectly and I haven't done any mods.. Kinda weird, anyone with input on this?
I'm rooted running version 2 Jbomb, 2.3 beastmode kernel, mj4. Could it maybe be these apps that cause this, lux, gravity screen, light flow.. Those are the 3 main apps that are always running.

Sounds like you may have some gremlins. I would do a clean install of your ROM and install those 3 apps 1 at a time checking for the problem to repeat. Joshes ROMs are typically very clean. Could be the Beastmode kernel also.

I can guarantee it's. Gravity Screen. I use both Lux and Gravity Screen and I'm on a Nexus 4. Google brought me here. I was hoping I'd find something in the gravity screen thread but search isn't picking anyone talking about it.
fwiw I only use it for the Keep Screen On by motion so any the other features are unchecked.
I also use an app called screebl which is more reliable and has been around much longer but I flip between the two.
Screebl also got completely rewritten recently so I'm thinking it's probably the more reliable of the two since it's been around longer.
Aside from that I'm thinking it might be the Running During Call checkbox since it's the only other checkbox checked.
I'd disabled the other settings by moving the sliders to zero (per the developer) and unchecking everything but the 2 checkboxes for keeping screen on by motion-left its slider at 50.
...so either uncheck that ringer checkbox. If that doesn't work it's a bug with the app.
It's inherent to almost any Samsung phone. My SII did it. My S4 did it. My Note 3 does it.
It has to do with the proximity sensor changing too quickly.

Sometimes it cuts both ways, with the rare occasion of the screen not waking up when a call comes in. If you're running deep sleep app, sometimes that can be the culprit. I still use it, though.
