Notification light problem or not? You better be checking. - Huawei Ascend Mate 2

I have they white one HAM2, is this how really the notification light is on the black one too? It is obviously passing to the white bezel. Are the black one like this too. Can anyone confirm if the black one has this. IMHO it should just light on the hole and not bleed light on the bezel.

Nope, black one doesn't do that. That's a pretty common issue with (cheap) white phones. I think it looks kinda cool, actually.

Sent your black one, why? I played with it from 7 am this morning installing apps customising watching YouTube, the only time I turn the display off is may be when I took a piss, and now it is 6:23pm I think 10hrs no turning off the display and I still have exactly 41% battery.

I had a bunch of bluetooth audio issues that I suspect are byproducts of the outdated OS. If the phone ever gets KK I'll pick up another one.

Anyone can link a photo of the black HAM2 with the notification light On in a dark room or place, please link so I can decide if I need to replace this white with a black one thank.

So this is an issue with all white models of the mate 2 ?

LightFlow. It requires some tweaking first, and the paid version allows more apps.

The S2 is meant to have a silver/chrome surround on the home button, if yours doesn't it's a manufacturing fault and you should consider returning your device. Even if it doesn't bother you, it'll wreck the resale value when the time comes.
Mine doesn't have the chromed finish either. I really prefer it this way!

It's the same colour as the outer frame so gunmetal too. I guess it looks a little shiner in the photo.
Same here, my home button surround and the trim round the face are both a Smokey dark grey rather than a bright chrome. First day purchase from phones4u uk...

Red Capacitive Buttons...I know this was mentioned before

I searched and read through the other threads on this, and I just wanted to ask what those of you with the pink buttons did to correct it, if anything at all.
4 phones later I have a perfect, dead pixel free screen, but super pink buttons...I am not exchanging this phone for that as a good screen IMHO is more important than red buttons.
I just didn't know if anyone had done anything easy to do that they would recommend to make em RED!
I couldn't tell the difference between red and pink on my buttons if I my life depended on it. For all I know, I could have magenta buttons.

hahaha, i am pretty picky about colors. I don't think after a couple days the pink will bother me that much, I just know how red than can be!
some guy on here was replacing the LED's with red ones, and another member sent his phone to him to do it, and was pleased with the results..
someone else painted the bulbs red
I just gotta say, maybe the buttons were neve supposed to be exactly red, just not white. gotta love the phone for what it is beside the off red/pink buttons. sheesh.
My buttons looked pinky at first but now look more red. Maybe they need to season up for awhile?

Yes, it seems to me they're supposed to be a lighter red, like the color of the beats ear buds.
Regardless, tacky IMO. Wish they would have just gone with white. Oh well...root and disable.

I don't about easy but there's a couple methods in this thread, one involving soldering and one involving just a sharpie. There may be other methods but that's what I remember seeing.
Rezound LED modification to soft touch keys
Here's his before and after pic using the soldering method where he changed the LEDs:

Or maybe those pics you took made it blush.
g damn, that is pink! I was starting to think mine were pink because i can't really tell the difference but now I see...
I came up with the Sharpie method, and while it isn't permanent like the LED method, it's help up just fine ever since I did it, almost a month ago. For those not too confident with soldering or modifying the system board in the phone, go for an alternate method for making them red, such as a Sharpie. I've heard that paint can eat away the LED's, but not quite sure about that.
I didn't notice that mine were more pinkish until my gf's was next to mine. Her's are darker and more red but i honestly could careless...It looks fine when its not next to another rezound...

Request: ICS Rom + Theme with Black and Brown/Gold mixture

Hi guys, was wondering if anyone can make a Rom with ICS (with all the tweaks and goodies) and have a Black/Brown/Gold theme to it? I attached a picture off an iphone when you invert the colors, you get that color scheme and it looks nice. Also anyway for someone to make it so that for example if you have a wallpaper widget on your desktop, it could have like a live video clip playing on the widget in the backround as if it were a small sample clip of the latest video or pics? would be neat.

A few things...
It does look pretty good.
With LCD screens, blacks are the most battery hungry to display, so dark themes affect battery life to some extent.
Last... not to sound like a jerk... but this is a question/request. I am not sure it is best asked in development section.
oh sorry, i didnt know where else to ask developers if they could make this lol. For me the battery isnt that big a concern, never has been really lol. I use the web a lot throughout the day and ive never had any problems running low by end of day on my rezound, even if so, i would just recharge it love that black and brown with gold, hoping someone will make it

I understood the opposite to be true. That the pixel is turned off with black, anything else required power.
And yes this could be moved to the theme and apps sub forum, no biggie though.

Doing a little research here. It isn't obvious what the right answer is.
Display type may make a difference.

On any form of led screen (oled, amoled, samoled, samoled+, etc) blacks use less battery. Not sure about lcd though. And gold would really clash with the phone's hardware. It's black and red with silver accents. We an aosp black and red theme to make our phones sexy.
On these types of screens (LCD), black requires the most power because the pixel isn't actually off, its obscurring the light from the backlight, which requires more energy than displaying white. Only on old CRT type displays was black actually equal to 'off' and thus used less power. I think LED displays require no back lighting, so the same is probably true.
**oops read LCD not led, my bad

[Q] My 3 White S3 has a defective cover?

I have 3 galaxy s3 here today, white. When i look at it in bright light on the back cover its a pattern in the plastic, it looks like a oily map, holograms or something like rainbow colors reflecting in patterns.
Can anyone else check the back cover under a lamp ?
Pic or it didnt happen

Description sounds consistent with the defective blue back covers. Pics would be nice.

screen fault

Spoke with Vodafone tonight apparently a few have called about the "green screen " or the screen bleed on the bottom right .
I'm getting a call back tomorrow . This phone will be swapped. I really like this phone but as the 6T has been announced then it has one last chance before Huawei gets dumped .
