Had this phone for about 2 yes and now I find out its got a notification led in the earpiece grill after I installed crdroid. How come they never used it in the original firmware? I'm not talking about the front flash. Surprised.

As per title, it seems the Flashlight app's illumination intensity is slightly darker than that of the camcorder. Is anybody else experiencing this?
Because of that, I am using LED Light app. Any other I tried was weak.
Probably try to avoid burning the flashlight
Hi,
I installed tesla flashlight and it was on a weak led light but still i didn't notice anything weird.
Then rooted the phone with super one click and went to film something and the led was weak as in tesla flashlight.
Now I wonder what did it. I already had to trade this defy phone because the first one came with 3 dead pixels. Now I have to do it again for a bad led light?
Is it a defect in production or what? I have barelly used this led, even with photos dare say any flashlighting was only for testing.
I have had a nokia xm5800 for like 2 years+ and the led still works fine.
Did anyone else have this or manage to solve it? I am in Brazil, so it it a LA version of the phone...
Cheers,
Andrew
Picked up a Thunderbolt and tonight while making a call at night I noticed the alert LED glows dim red and kinda flickers whenever I'm on a call. Can anyone verify that this is normal behaviour or do I have a defective phone?
The only thing that changes color is my notification bar. Is your phone plugged in?
no, not plugged in- i first noticed it while taking a walk. on second look it's a dim, somewhat flickery orange.
yeah i see that too. maybe thats the proximity sensor? idk.
I went to the Verizon store and Best Buy also and looked at the demo models- all 3 appeared to behave the same as mine with the faint orange/red LED on while on a call, so I'm guessing that's normal behavior. The salesman thought it was the screen that was lighting up the LED, but I turned off the screen and you could still see the LED was on.
Ok I was walking into my house when I received a call. I answered and since there were no lights on I noticed a red flashing led on the left side of the AT&T logo between the front can and promixty sensor. I didn't know the SGSII had a led till this point, and since it does, any way to make it brighter and configure it for SMS etc? Sorry if I'm late. News to me...lol.

Not a notification light, its the infrared led used for the proximity sensor.

That faint light is promixty sensor, put your finger over the light and your screen goes black.

Heya !
I have got Viper rom on my international One X+
Now, since a day or 2 my notification led is Extremely weak !
i can see it turning on / off but it looks like there is no power in there.
Can this depend on my Rom ? I also mentioned this in the Viper topic but i did not have any response.
Today i was talking to a friend with a one x and he had this problem all along. This can't be extremely cheap hardware can it ?
Cheers,

I don't know if ROMs can affect the intensity of the notification light, but I can tell you that I am a bit disappointed with the standard notification LED of the One X+. Even if I am starting at it, it is still hard to see. I have no idea what HTC was thinking when they put that in. It's not centered; it just seems like an afterthought poking out from the earpiece grill. I just compulsively check my phone on the lock screen.
It's not necessarily cheap hardware. It might just be poor design.
I was wondering the same thing, but the strange part is that before and after root the notification light was bright, like i could really see the light but now its just off i cant even see it anymore. In the dark i can see a weak orange light but thats not the way it was.
Something happened and i would love to know what.
Cheers
You could try an app like Lightflow
Im on the Viper rom as well Telus version and as for the light... My Charging light is normal.. doesnt look too dim to me.
With lightflow it doesnt even seem to work at all !?
Maybe i'll try another rom.. Backup my viper in case it doesnt affect anything.
It cant be broken right ? it shouldnt light up at all in that case..
Has anyone noticed that a circular light sometimes appears around the front camera sensor.
It seems to happen me when my face unlock fails to work.
There is no info on this light.
If it is there,
Are there any settings for it ?
It would be good as a notification light
My friend, that is a very good point. I just noticed it myself after your post, never noticed that before. I would be great if it could be used as a notification light.
I haven't tried it but this seems to be a solution which works on another Realme device:
That is to show something is using your camera, it's a new privacy safety feature.
For example if some shady app is recording you that's a way of telling you. Same for the rear camera, it shows a green dot on right side.

I think this light can be used even for notifications like the Redmi K20 Pro phone which has a light on the pop-up camera and I used this phone for a long time. This light looks cool if it is in the Realme GT 2 Pro!
I'm in India and it is releasing on 14th April so I'm still waiting for this phone.
it's just an indicator that tells you the phone is detecting face.
I have a Samsung S21 from my work and that does exact the same thing with the selfie camera. I think it's an android 12 thing.
