Flash LED fluctuations

My flash led fluctuates when I take a photo or use it as a flashlight. Anyone else facing the same issue?

Not for me...tried both camera and flashlight.

Yeah I experience this also when I'm recording video while the flash is on.. But it works well when I'm using this on my flashlight app..

I've had the issue before.... I thought I was seeing things cuz of the quick flickerings

Yes I have it too.
I haven't taken any videos with flash but the flashlight does it, sometimes it's steady but I notice it half of the time.

Gosh. Too many problems. I wouldn't have spend this much for a defective phone. I'm disappointed.

Every LED flash does this. There's nothing wrong.

I think you didn't understand. It flickers while using the flashlight or while it's in use. I know that while taking a photo it will flash once for autofocus. I'm not referring to that.

Well clearly, thats not normal. Return it....

It is normal. The LED flash for every phone I've used does the exact same thing, jittering and flickering a little bit when keeping the flash on like when using it as a flashlight. My X10 did the same thing, but it's only slight flickering, nothing major. 100% normal, they aren't meant to be kept on for any large amount of time.

Mine does the same thing if I leave the flashlight on for more than 30 seconds

Hahah mine does the same thing but I suppose it was never supposed to be a flashlight.
I was thinking it was something to do with the quick succession flash it is supposed to deliver normally.

[Q] LED Notification Location

Is there anything I can do about the LED notification location on the Arc?
(I can never tell if I get messages or anything)

Yes. Look at the phone in sideways .
Come on... It's by design, what do you really want to do?

There's a way for notifications with the back light buttons.
I've never tried it, but some users reported that it works.
Search here, don't remember the thread.

Use no led to notify but check it works with kernel
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium

just use an app to make led stay on whole time until notification removed.

I use "light flow" to make the led by the hardware bottoms light up on a SMS or a missed call.

If you open your phone case and make little modification then yes you can change led location

Then what I'd do is:
1. Factory reset
2. Reflash ROM
3. Exchange phone

Ya i guess will do that, but a little later. Phone works fine otherwise and honestly i don't even think i will use any of this features, maybe wait for a few months and then get a new one in exchange

It won't work in dark environment, you need to be in good light.

Anyone got the rear LED working with Lightflow?

Anyone figured out how to get the rear power button LED working with lightflow or similar? Lightflow controls the front LED nicely, and I've played with controlling the other LED's with it, but none of them work, and I'm not sure which is supposed to be the rear LED. It would be really cool to get it to flash for texts and such.

Are you referring to this or something more detailed?

I have that checked, but it doesn't do anything, at least for me. Front LED works great, no luck on the rear one. Does yours work? I'm on CM11

That's for "button back light" meaning the light behind the front buttons not "back button light". Big difference there.

Thanks for clarifying. I actually wondered about that. But I couldn't figure out what difference it would make my checking it. I never have my phone facing down to really care what the light on the back button is doing anyway. Lol

Crap, I knew there was a reason I didn't originally have that checked. I'm dumb, lol.
Anyway, as far as the "non controled" LED's listed at the bottom, anyone have any luck getting them to work
I like having my phone upsidedown sometimes.

I had that working on my HTC DNA..yes it has also a back LED! But now on the G2 it seems that lightflow has no control on it
If anyone has a solution please share!

Lightflow should support it after the most recent update. Enable root mode and it should work

I'm on CM 11 and it seems like the light turns on when i get a call and SOMETIMEs when I get a text but thats it.
i would like the rear light button on the back to act exactly as if i was in stock.

Well I tried it out and bought the pro version of light flow and to say I'm dissapointed. The control of the back light does work but it doesn't pulse or pulse slowly on and off. the power button light just stays lit.

You have to go to settings go all the way down the page and it should be listed in additional LEDs as button blacklight. I enabled 1 and 2 because I think I enabled just one and half of the button lit up when I enabled both the button was fully lit

I used G2 Tweakbox, a Xposed module, it activates the rear led for a lot more notifications

[Q APP] App to change LED notification to variable

Hey, I was wondering if there is anyway to be able to change the LED light color to variable...I know there is a way to change it to a solid color and have that blink but is there any way, say after receiving a text message, instead of it just blinking blue but to cycle from blue to red to yellow to green etc.?

Light Manager from play store has alternating mode. I believe that will flash all active notifications in succession.

I have been using light manager...however, I can not figure out how to get it to alternate...I have the alternate mode selected but when I get a notification it is just the one solid color....am I missing something?

Light flow does what you are asking. There's both a free and pro version however I use the pro and I love it

Stupid question did you restart light manager or your phone after you changing modes? I have issues with it not switching every once in a while restarting my phone seems to help.
