Hi, I wanted to ask you if it happens to you that the red color and all red tones are too marked in this phone, is something very noticeable and even annoying to see sometimes because it does not show a real red. For example the YouTube logo, Netflix letters and in general everything that has red color.
Is there any way to fix it? maybe with a root app or with a custom rom.
Thank you (Sorry, google translator)

You can try adjusting the screen color temperature, setting > display > color mode and color temperature.

Download light flow from market. I've tested it out and it works great. I've counted about 10 colors our led can do with slight variations of each. Blue, cyan, purple, pink, red, green, yellow, orange, white, gold, and a few others.

I was able to get the LED colors to work at first, then they decided to stop and start showing just green. Haven't rebooted to see if that fixes it, but it looks promising. BerryBuzz was one of the only apps I missed from my BB days. Haha.
Yeah I reluctantly chose to let this atrix replace my n1 and absolutely hated not having my colors. Now if we can only get individual people's text colors back we are in business

works well here.
does this draw more battery than the standard *always* green notification light?
i download currentwidget but it dont work so i dunno
i wish there's an app that will allow capture of notifications too. so we can assign lights to different apps simliar to how we can do it back on cyanogen roms.
meh, its not constant. seemed to be working at first, but now it only showing system default LED color settings for everything. then, yesterday it decided to work for the color i set for text messages received, was blinking a sky blue color. but even after i cleared the notification and looked at the message.....the dumb light was still blinking. i like the different color but i dont see the point if its not consistent
I see various colors on mine. So far I've seen green, blue, purple, and red.
It's a good start. I haven't had any issues, the blink rate isn't always 100% consistent but it works for me for now. I haven't noticed any extra battery drain for using this.
easiest way to get colors on your led for texts is to download chomp sms or handcent sms. you can long press any contact's conversation and change the LED for that person from that point on. 100% works all the time for me and chompsms.
if you want to change gmail led from the default green you can do that with an app called gmail notifier. just be sure to disable notifications of the actual Gmail app or else you'll duplicates. same goes for replacing messaging app for chomp or handcent
it would be sweet if the notification color would flash multiple colors, kinda like a bb trackball

This app allows that. It flashes them in succession. Ex, R=email Bl=missed call Gr=txt. so if I had a txt and an email it would flash in succession gr, r, gr, r, etc.
Is there any way to get more themes, I have the white version of the phone and it would be great if I could have color matching theme.
The themes included are all dark, and they dont actually change the colour of notification bar, and the menus only show the wallpaper through them.
This is my first post so sorry if Ive done something wrong.

you should try going back to the subforum where it's title themes. your best bet is there enjoy!!!
And a white theme means more white, brightly lit pixels that would consume more of your battery, just like reading e-books on the mobile: black letters on white drains battery visibly faster compared to night mode: white letters on dark background... is white theme that important?
thanks
Thanks for your replies, didnt know whether there was some sort of Sony store where I could download themes for this specific device.
1 quick question, how do I completely disable the auto backlight feature, its annoying sometimes becuase I keep putting my finger over the light sensor and it dims it so I cant see the screen .
thanks again

I think that reasoning is only valid for AMOLED screens; for all other types, afaik, the backlight is on for all of the screen, and 'black' just blocks the backlighting from going through (which is why real black is quite hard to get in an LCD display)

As for white theme, that would certainly hurt the eyes at night, but hey its your choice.
Hello to all SGS 3 users...
Nice phone, fast, but battery is not good...
To the topic....
just a question that i post in omega SGS3 forum and i'm moving it to correct forum...
So is possible to change the sped rate of notification light(maybe 350ms)?
and is possible to make blinking red and blue light in fast way, so is easier to see ''
i would like to NOT use 3rd party apps...kernel support..
by kikan
I don't know about blinking speed, but I have a connected question and perhaps you can help me. My LED is blinking either white, red, blue, green and I am not sure what every color means, I didn't manage to map notifications to certain LED color. I have facebook messenger, whatsapp, 2 email accounts, sms and don't know which color means what.
Also, is there a way to map a certain color to a certain notification?
thanks

does anyone else have a pinkish facebook led notification?
at first it used to be red, but now it's pink, but you can still see a bit of blue underneath it.
any way i can change it to blue like the rest of my notifications?
thanks
btw, nothing is wrong with the led itself (i think). charging still shows red/green when full, and blue for texts/emails/other notifications
bump .

Grab Light Flow from the market.

I made sure that the notification light is enabled, but for some reason i dont see any indication that i missed a call - maybe it has something todo that i use a non standard dialer app by default ?

Hi, I am also facing an issue of the same kind. I cannot see any other color of the LED except for red when the battery is low. After charging is completed, the green LED should be lit, but there is actually a very dim orange light that is noticed only in the dark. The same for the calls or other notifications. I don't even remember if going to recovery or fastboot mode will trigger the blue LED but nothing is displayed anyhow.
Does somebody have any idea how to restore the LED to "normal"? This has happened after I installed the X829 rom on my X820. Since that time, looks like no other color is present except red.
Any advice is welcome.
