Please can someone confirm if the led notification is support all colours (RGB )?
I have seen yellow and green so far when charging, haven't noticed anything else yet.
Why does the ability to have different colors on the notification light mean anything though? That is the last thing I personally care about when considering phones.
I'm not trying to be rude, just curious as to why it is important to your situation.

It's important to me. I use LIghtflow to turn on different colors, some flash at different rates, to notify me of many different things. Allows me to know if I have something that may need my attention w/o having to turn the phone on. Lack of this capability would be the straw that sends me to a different phone.

it does kinda of suck that we can't control it, and have to get a app for it, not saying it's a hassle, but asus, should of had something like this. Hopefully the custom roms that come out for this, will have this included.
I Ann a bit confused about this topic. I may have taken it wrong. I understood it to be that only the 3 Coors were possible, meaning that even with Lightflow I wouldn't be able to present other colors.
If Lightflow will be able to generate different colors, then I'm ok with it.
All colors are pretty much available if my understanding of it is right. If I remember Fom my reading a while back, multiple colors can be the.ed on at a different brightness to make different colors show up on the notification.
My note 4 only had red, green and blue and you could use the app for Samsung phones to make any color you needed.
Sadly Lightflow isn't working for me, so i'm not sure what else to use until something done to change it, if there was some kind notepad that controls all of this, i will change it.

Oooohhh...Lightflow not working. Not good.
However, I might mention that I've had problems with LF at different times with different ROMS, phones etc., and ultimately it was just finding the right settings. You might try emailing the DEVs for input.
There are other apps you can try.
Keep us posted if you get it working.

i did try others ones as well like light manager and led pro. None of them work for this... we need a dev to fix this issue up, but until everything is released from ASUS for the sources, these topics we are creating for now, will have to be halted, until this is done.
[sigh][/sigh]...It seems every phone I'm considering has a major issue, or doesn't meet the specs I want on my next phone.
Because I install so many apps and use a lot of then consistently, I want 6 GB of RAM. Sui that limits my list right there.
I've been down to the Oneplus 3, and the Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe. The Oneplus had inaccurate GPS. And note this problem on the Asus.
Both of those issues nix a phone for me.

There are 2 versions of lightflow; btw make sure you enable notification tracking for lightflow, otherwise it will not work.

i do have it enabled , but it not charging to the right color it post to be, is there something else i'm missing here?
sorry for double posting, but i did talk to asus support and they told me this on the LED indicator...
Unfortunately I am afraid that currently there isn't a way for you to customize the LED indicator, as it is*a combination of both HW and SW working.
For the unlock*bootloader, ASUS does not actually asssit with unlocking of the Android Bootloader. I must advise that you do so at your own risk, as once the boot loader is unloked it will void your warranty.
But if you insist to do that, we will transfer customers' wishes to the related department for further development.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us again for assistance.

I guess not until we find someone that could try to custom a way to change these colors to what we want. More info from Asus, if you want me to ask them anything else about this, let me know.
====
For the LED indicator, there are only 3 colors in zf. *Red green and yellow.*
Yellow = full charge
Green blinking = notification*
Red blinking = low battery
To turn on led notification go to settings>>display>>led on
Apps with notification light settings will not control Zf led lights as it is not allowed by Asus system and all led lights and notification are always set to their default which is indicated above.

Yeah that deal breaker, but the phone isn't bad, and there is still a way to wake the phone up when you get a notification, if you use the app screen notifications, it will light up the phone , showing what message you get. as for the LED , yeah it will suck for now on that, despite how good everything is until they let boot loader go , so we can mod this phone.

Any details on this would be good. Is it going to be similar to g nexus notification led which has to be the best, you can choise different colours etc?
Says RGB LED notification which suggests to me it can produce almost any colour.
That's brilliant, its a small feature but essential inmho. Not much info about this feature so thanks for sharing this.
I have found it kinda surprising that no on has touched on the led notifacations in reviews yet. The question in my mind isn't just is it an umlimited color palatte but also does it work before you pickup the handset? On the N1 you could see across the room that you had an email, text, etc. and this is what I'm hoping for with this phone. It has little point if you have to pick up the phone to light the led.

I didn't know some phones worked like that? I mean that you have to pick the phone up in order for the LED to light up... Which phones work like that? That sounds like a really dumb thing for a phone to do! The point of a notification LED is after all that you should be able to see the notifications without having to pick the phone up to check it, no?
I'm hoping it's like the Blackberrys. I miss BerryBuzz, had the option to set multiple colours to multiple events.
If its anything like nexus galaxy I will happy. Mind you had to root device only then was able to use the different colours.

I agree! Hopefully they would be more inclined to port BeBuzz over to Android once this device is out.

So I got the V10 a few weeks ago, love it way more than my old Note 3 and more than i would have loved the Note 5 i was considering. Few questions though:
1. When is Verizon gonna release a software update for the fingerprint case fix?
2. Morst importantly, is there a way I can change an app's notifications to force them to the second screen? (Yes I'm talking about you, Google Messenger.) Like a third-party app or something maybe.
3. Any non-root way to customize the soft key buttons, like to different logos or something?
4. IR Blaster- seems to me its got a range of like 8 feet. Which works fine in my room, but when I try to change the channel in the dining hall, it doesnt have the range of my Note 3. Any way to increase the range?
I'm new to this site so sorry if i broke any rules by posting multiple questions in one post, just looking for some help. Thanks to anyone who can help me out a bit!

I am coming from the Galaxy S5. I am looking for a app to help with my notifications also. I LOVE me led notifications. I usually won't even get a phone without that but wanted to try this phone. I like the phone but I am really missing that. I heard a little about light flow but don't know much about it.

Hi Nick,
I can't help with 1, 3 & 4 ... but as for your second question; My Notifications have automatically just appeared on the 2nd Screen as they come in. I did play around with the 2nd Screen Options in Settings, and there are more options in there as well.
After reading a lot about this phone here and on other forums, it seems there's a big operational difference between Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and the others - ESPECIALLY ON THIS PHONE - so as you keep searching for answers (as I have) try to figure out if the post is from a user with the same network you're on.
I'am the only one pissed about this? AOD is ruined for me now! and the status bar will look so stupid with some wallpapers... I wish this is only for US versions...

it could be worse, its just a icon...
Why are people so pissed about something that hasn't happened yet. if it happens will probably be temporary.
Not to mention in the short term it's a good way to check it for places that's banning it. Like airport's etc

I like the green icon, I have used xposed before to change colors in several icons, so, green batt is fine for me
I wild of loved a blue battery.
Hopefully they will give us the option to change it back. Heck they already give us enough useless feathers, please give us one we could actually benefit from.

It did, my new one has the green icon..
At first I didn't think much of it, but the more I see it, the more I think it's actually pretty hideous.
Btw, I don't know about the themes, haven't really checked that out, I'm using Nova Launcher and it's just green in that.
Please try changing the theme if it's always green in AOD?
Why didn't they patch the bad note 7's with a red battery to identify the bad ones instead? Dumb
The battery stays green no matter what theme you apply.
It wouldn't make sense to make it so easy to change as the whole point is to make it easy to identify a safe product and none safe product, and if it was easy to change no one will believe you have a safe device etc.

Tested or just speculations? For whome I have to prove that device is safe? This is just stupid... Personally AOD is ruined for me, an that green battery icon will annoy me everyday. Was not planing on rooting but now star to think I will need to. Damn Samsung they overdid it... a simple message in about phone would solved all airport problems. Now we will have a ruined status bar and AOD... GOOD JOB SAMMY! The only problem is that there is no phone like N7 atm and I can't move on ?

I am willing to bet when we get the 7.0 update, by that time us Sammy ( and the CPC, Health canada etc) are satisfied the old devices are handed in the battery icon goes back.

Tested. I've had my replacement device since 12th September and received the update yesterday.
I've tried three different themes and on all of them the battery remains green.
I don't see what the massive issue is with it. Yes it isn't white like the rest but does it fundamentally change the phone? No.
If you don't like it and it makes such a big difference for you then maybe the device isn't for you.
Yes I woke up this morning to a message that my device had update... and now have the green icon. I mind it less then I thought I would.

Only real difference I've found so far is the always on backlight and the allways on screen, though if you have a case that turns screen on/off it kills that function...
Haven't made any calls so can't comment on that.

It would have been nice if there was also an always off for the backlight. I guess they skipped my request I can't imagine someone would want the backlight keys on all the time. To each their own I guess. They said there were camera improvements, but I haven't tested that out yet.

The Always On back light for the keys for me is quite useful when operating the phone in the dark. It it the same as a computer keyboard with back light. I'm glad they added this feature, otherwise it's as good as not having any back light at all for the keys.
I also see a definite improvement in the audio quality. Earlier while playing tracks with silence, there was a slight hissing sound (using audiophile headphones) and I had reported this to Asus. I checked this now with a few tracks and it seems like this is fixed. I hear absolutely no hissing and the audio is crisp and clear even at high volumes. !

That's interesting. At night is when the backlight annoys me. I'd prefer they don't ligh up. Glad they made someone happy though. I'll still wait and hope for an always off feature.

Definitely put in your requests through email and at the zentalk forum. Could be coincidence, but I almost feel like the 'always on backlit' was done at a specific person's request (seen here) because it was early on and they were so vocal on the forum for this issue. Also the forum's audience isn't that big - so more of a chance to be heard.

Thanks for the idea. I signed in, but unfortunately it won't let me post to that board. I wonder why?
Hi,
Just got the phone yesterday and I'm completely in love with it, having upgraded from a OnePlus 3T.
However I have encountered a display issue I beleive. It's a bit difficult to explain but when animations are preformed on the screen, for example when pressing buttons in the settings, or when the wave animation that comes up when plugging in the phone for charging, the color in the animation looks like static on a TV (happens both in dark mode and light mode). I'll upload examples here since it's a bit difficult to explain like I said. Anyone else that has encountered this? Haven't found anyone with similar issues so far, or maybe it's supposed to be like this? Do you see this it like this when plugging in the phone for example as well?
Did factory resets, tried starting in SafeMode etc but no luck. ASUS support told me to contact my retailer since it's a brand new device.
Thank you!

Yes, it is an Android 12 design choice made by google, as you can see in the article I linked, they had to reduce the effect because it was too strong during the first 2 beta versions. So if that is what you are talking about, do not worry its a design choice!
