Hi the note 4 seems to be using the light sensor to dim the led notifications led when dark. my note 3 does not do this. I have been through the settings and the conclusion I have is note 3 on KK4.4.2 and note 4 is on KK4.4.4 am I right in assuming this as its a very important decision whether or not I return the note 4 and stay with the note 3, but then again when note 3 gets the 4.4.4 update it will probably do the same thing. Is there any help I could get to disable the light sensor from using the lightflow program, any hacks ect?
thanks in advance.

Hi tried LED Blinker and does the same thing, when in a dark area the led dims, put phone in a lighter area and led gets bright?
I have no idea what your talking about cuz my LED on my Note 4 is dim all the time I just tested it again and its actually kind of a piss off coming from the Note 2 and having a big bright LED all the time! *sigh*

Light flow works fine for me. Try dialing *#0*# for diagnostic then click LED test. Blue green and red will appear at normal strength.
Mine is bright when in light and dim when in dark, looked for settings and none found. Mine was purchased from Handtec and is unlocked. came with 2 pin adapter so I assume its from Germany as it started with German as default language?
I tested it and it changes from bright to dim every time.

Led light uses ambient light sensor to brighten or dim the led notifications. This is specific to Note 4 AFAIK.
Yes thanks. I thought it was kitkat4.4.4 as opposed to kitkat4.2.2 on note 3. So figured when note 3 gets update 4.4.4 led would dim. Kept the note 4 anyway and glad i did not get iphone 6 plus. Oops sorry just swore

Hello,
Recently, I have purchased Note 3.But I find that there is some wrong with the notification LED. The pure white LED light have a pinkish hue while the red ,green and blue led light is normal. is it the notification led is fault??Thanks for answering the question.
I don't think it faulty. I have 3 notes here.. All having same behaviour of light in white as your mention.

Normal, happens with the S3 too (purple tint on the s3).
They don't produce blinding white, and that's normal.
ok..in fact I have Note 2 LTE ,but the problem is not that serious and so I have such question.
This is normal.this forum should b closed..dear op ask for moderator to close this threads thnx
Silly question here, I've had an s3 for 2 years now and when debating which color s5 to get, (between black or white) I'm wondering, does anyone own a white one and had some use with the LED notification light? When I saw an s4 in store I noticed they made these lights smaller/dimmer than on the s3... Is it the same case for the s5?
One thing I liked about the white was when the light was blinking, it would light up half the front bezel on my phone because its white.. Does this effect happen with the s5? If anyone has some pictures of videos of their notification lights blinking on a white phone (I wouldn't mind seeing it on a black phone too) that would be awesome!!
Thanks!
(our tmobile store stucks I went in yesterday and they had NO demo units, they acted like they had no clue when the phone would arrive, and I'm stuck at work all day today, just trying to figure out what color I want).
Hi there,
Was just reading this as my white S5 is flashing away. There is definitely slightly more light spread than just from where the notification light is but I wouldn't say it lights up the whole bezel.

well it only appears to light up a good portion of it in a dark room, like at night when its beside my bed on the night stand and it's dark with no lights on, I can see light travel down the sides (it doesn't quit light up the bottom) but it definitely lights up a large portion of it!!
thank you for your reply!
Hey guys...one of the most used and important features in any Android phone for me is the RGB notification LED.
The S4 and Nexus 5 had great ones...I'm a little worried about the very dull one on the S5.
I cannot get Light Flow to work at all...and while I know the S5 is really new...just a little troublesome...

It does have an RGB flash, tested colors with LED Tester app, but haven't set up Lightflow, which is often rather complicated. You may restart your phone after setting it up and see if it works properly.
I guess it's duller because the plastic over it is thicker due to the IP certification (?), now why isn't there a cutout for it like for the sensors is beyond me.
I find it bright enough, far better than whats on HTC phones. I can also see it from a 45 degree angle, the one on the s4 was better still but not complaining as it still does its job

I went and downloaded that LED Tester program.. And no matter what color I choose.. It only blinks blue... (Even after a restart and deleting Light flow)

Led tester works perfectly for me in all colours. Be warned if you get an incoming notification whilst testing the colours, the light will revert to the notification colour until you click on the notification and reset the led.
Hope this makes sense lol

All off the LightFlow app developer's websites/servers are down. Could you please give me the run-down on what you did to fix it? (I'm having the exact same problem).
I agree the LED is VERY dull, my sister just got the LG g2 and the led on it is beautiful very bright and vivid colours.
So, on Note 2 it has been established Samsung inbuilt a better led light to assure visibility on the White version of the phone. White Note 2 has more accurate colors when using apps to set led lights etc. Is this also the case with Note 3?
On my note 4 the LED seems pretty dim as compared to the LED on my Note 2.
Is there any way to change the intensity? Anyone else experiencing the same thing?
I tried downloading Light Manager and it's already set to 'bright.'
Do i have a faulty unit or is the led just that dim?
I think the led notification on the note 4 uses ambient light sensor to adjust its brightness. Try to test it. Just shine a bright light on the sensor and turn and off the screen and you will see the led notification is brighter.

I always wanted my the light to be dimmer on my Note 2, bought the flip case just to be able to keep it face up at night by my bed.
Yuuuup I also noticed the notification light on the Note 4 is verrry dim and hard to see even at night sometimes from certain angles compared to the Note 2 which is what I switched from.. Always liked having a big bright notification LED on my Note 2. It was even a bit bigger of a cut-out for the LED on Note 2 as well.. Bummer! Kinda takes away from the point when I can hardly see it in daylight! Come on Samsung, f*cksa matter with urself!!
I wondered the same
I also came from the note 2 and its great led notification. Moved to the note 4, love it but the led is barely visible.
My notification light is only visible at night really. In normal lighting indoors it's visible, but not enough to catch your eye. Seems silly.
Is there a way to remove the "auto dimming or auto bright" function? I'd rather it just be bright all the time...is that a romantic or a kernel thing?
