Guys I have a strange beavhiour on my phone. When the LED notification starts "blinking" the first "blink" is always red or blue no matter what color the specific notification what set to.
After the first red or blue "blink" the next "blinks" of the LED looks right as it is setted for the specific notification.
Has anyone come across such weird behaviour? Is this a hardware or software bug?

It's been happening since the S6. Why is this such a big deal?

Because it's not normal and because this is an uncommon thing since not everybody has this beavhiour.

I know that is not a problem, but if it is a "design" choice so all S7 must have this, right? In any case I don't understand why the first blink has to be red.

Rooted with TWRP
Gravity MM (LED Control)
removes what your refering to, I use White as Base LED Colour notification.
Blue for SMS
Purple for some selected Medium Priority Notifications.
Green for Missed SMS
Yellow Voice Mail
Much better than the Blue for all (Whats the point in a LED with Multiple Colours when it never uses them)

Light manager app does that, but that's not what i'm talking about. Read the first post, do you experienced that behavior?

Okay lets try it another way:
When you get a Notification, The first LED blinks Red.
Then the colour you defined the notification to, then blinks that colour.
I have Rooted with TWRP, I am using Gravity MM
i do not experience this.

There used to be a method using Tasker,
Its been a while since i used this, But here is the link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tinyroar.galaxys3ledcontroller&hl=en
The App may not be needed and it may be possible to control LED using Tasker alone.
If you setup the rules correct, i believe you should be able to overcome this. i.e. Turn of ALL LED prior to pushing your first LED Custom Colour.

It seems a little bit tricky. What about Light Manager instead?
Ill come back to you in a hour and let you know
There may be a way to do a little bit of a hack, I believe the issue following the Charging LED Notification
Using something like SQlite Editor, you may be able to disable the LED Charging.
Removing the Red LED Notification all together
(This is in theory, Untested, but ill let you know later)

Try this, you may get the Red light gone.
It may replace it with Green.
Try accessibility settings and turn on notification reminders.
Its a odd workaround, But with my Modules disabled, I no longer get the the RED LED

If it is a replacement so it is not useful, I stick with red. You are rooted so you solved the problem easily..but no big deal, I just wanted to be sure that this is not a problem of my phone, but this is normal [emoji3]

Under the notification settings for New Email message there is an option to "Flash light for X minutes", however, no matter what I set in there my Jasjar doesn't flash either of it's lights when I receive new email. The other settings there are working because I can change the sound or turn vibrate on or off, but the light doesn't seem to work. Does this work for anyone else? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Brett
A bit more information... I was just looking through some of the notification settings and I noticed that my Jasjar was also set to flash the light on missed calls and on voicemail. It does not flash the light for either of these events. The lights to flash slowly when the Jasjar is operating normally, so I know that they function.
Brett
Isn't that an option to flash the screen (backlight) rather than the LED's??
Or am I just being an idiot? I've never used that function in my life on any PPC phone, I've always just assumed....!?

Hmm... I don't know. This is my first PPC, so I just assumed that it was the LED. Can anyone confirm how this should work?
Thanks,

No. It's not an option to flash the back light. The led on the right is supposed to flash red/orange for alerts.
You learn something new every day...!
Seems a bit pointless though...how many people are going to stare at the flashing light for ages to see if the colour is changing!?
My idea is much better :wink: !!!

LOL... maybe, but I want it because I carry the Jasjar in a belt holster. It would be nice to just be able to glance down at the device and see if I have an email waiting.
Can anyone try this and see if they can get their LED to flash?
Thanks,

Brett,
Be aware that the led is a bi-color led. When there are no notifications, it will flash green. When is it flashing because of a notification, it flashes amber. When it is charging it stays amber, in order to switch to green when it is done charging.
It actually is helpfull. I usually have my MDA Pro lying on the table, screen off. By the color of the led I can tell if there is anything I need to attend to on my device. Quite handy, actually...
Hope this clarifies matters.

I understand that and my LED does everything that you've listed except for flashing amber. When I have it set to "Flash LED" for new email it just doesn't change when I get new email. Does yours?
Thanks,
Brett
Yes mine does, just set my JasJar to check for messages every 5 minutes, and sent myself an e-mail, an lo and behold, it started flashing orange.
I'm converted, it is a good idea!

::grr:: Why doesn't mine work then? I've been debating doing a hard reset... I've installed a few programs that didn't uninstall properly... maybe it's related to that.
Brett
Well... I just did a hard reset and the first thing I did was configure the jasjar to flash, then I set up my email account and sent myself a message... and my LED started flashing orange too. I was hoping for a faster flash, but hey... I'll take what I can get
Brett
glad to hear you got it working.
I saw some about Trackball mod for Nexus One!
Change notifications,color mod etc.!
Is it possible at HTC Hero,too?
Or perhaps by the LED, which appears when loading the battery?
The LED behind our trackball is only white, so we'll never get this. It'd be nice though, my buddy got a N1, and I think that's one of its coolest features (is that sad?)
EDIT: As far as the LED goes, it only does orange and green (and maybe red when the battery's low?) I don't really know how much modding you could do with that. I miss the green/red/blue/orange leds in my Vogue.
try searching notify light apk in google see if it works

Yes,orange when charging,red=empty and green when 100% loaded!
But 2 weeks ago,I flashed a ROM and at this ROM, the LED blinked green when I received a message!
But can`t remember to this ROM

Names have been changed to protect the innocent
Enter Power Control widget... Added Brightness to the widget on the Angel recovery Rom.
While on a call Booger is playing around on the phone and hits the Brightness widget to see the three settings it has....
Screen goes black (literally!), Booger thinks nothing of it and finishes the call he is on.
Booger not able to get brightness back. The nightmare begins....
Wipe and Reset nothing....
Mr. Odin didn't help with Stock... not even An Angel could fix this... no light in sight!
Booger decides to try and be crafty and Throws Mr Galaxy i9000 on there to fix the issue or maybe Mr. Galaxy s "pit" would solve the issue by erasing the Fascinating memory... Works, but it shows yellow and red when it tries to do the wipe...
Booger turns to Mr. Vibrant and his 'pit' or recovery....
We now have the story of the Homicide of Mr. Fascinate! Lucifer (The white and red VZ) decides to grant Booger with a New Fascinating Body.
Moral of this poorly written story? Don't use anything to mess with Brightness except stock Widget or Tool! And never ever turn of usb debugging!
Yikes, sorry to hear about that. I was luckily able to recover from an extended fight after flashing the i9000 kernel.. It was a nightmare, but I got it back.

dude i just lived this horror story with the app Power Manager from the market...turned my screen completely black reboot to recovery and wipe data-nothing, restore system through odin, nothing. going to the store tomorrow for a replacement- i am livid.
listen to these warnings, dont f*** with the brightness
I will never turn usb debugging off. If you have it on you can fix it! I posted something about creating screen-cast. By doing that you can see everything you do on the phone on the pc. Let me know if you have it turned on. Don't get creative and flash anything else!
I'm glad some of you got this goofy cryptic story. I have my reasons for not making it 100% clear. I wanted to give a warning, but without being to obvious about certain things. I have a certain connection with "The Devil"
The root options never worked with my DX, but maybe Droid Explorer, Android Commander or the like would work as well.
I had the same problem I got a new one a few days ago

Is the threat of this total darkness issue (via brightness widgets) something that is unique to rooted Fascinates only?
...or is this a potential problem with stock 2.1 ROM Fascinates as well?

I use the one called "Backlight!" but when I installed and saw the default value levels of 0,50,150,255 and saw a zero that instantly threw up a red flag. Before using widget I just edited the custom brightness levels to 34,65,103 which translates to 13%,25%,45%. Are there other devices where you could assign the toggle to a hard button? That's the only way I can see having a 0 default level on a device.

My expirience from another thread, but I didn't get burned.
good day.
I had the exact same thing happen to me after installing powermanager. The only thing that saved me was the fact powermanager has default settings for different power sources. So although i botched my battery setting and it went black, i was saved by the fact i could plug into a pc our AC power and get the brightness back up to where i could fix the battery setting.
HOpe this helps spare some people some trouble.

Sorry but curiosity takes over with anything resembling a riddle
Screen cast seems like the perfect tool for this problem..assuming you have debugging on of course.
Just wanted to post this here, because when I was googling "screen brightness android" looking for a way to decrease the brightness on the amoled screen of the fascinate this page came up, but it didn't have the answer I was looking for.
I have pretty sensitive eyes like most of you on this thread (otherwise you wouldn't be looking for a dimmer), so reducing the brightness on the Fascinate was a must.
I found this app, called screen filter. Don't really know too much about it other than it works fantastically well and its free. Reduces brightness to almost nothing if you want, and the app functions as a widget for toggling as well.
So anyway, just wanted to post this for other people like myself, looking for a way to dim the lights. I don't have enough reputation to post a link, but just look up screen filter in the app market and you'll be good to go. For some reason it doesn't come up when you search for "dimmer" or "brightness", which is a shame.
Hi guys!
A few of you mentioned that it beneficial to have USB debugging on in such situations. a little bit off topic, but I just in the middle of dealing with USB problem on SF. I been able to get in download mode at one point and flash odin. Now my comp able to see phone. Is there any tools to exploit this debug mode? What information I can get in debug mode? I'm trying to collect as much information about problem as possible, just to make sure I'm not going to have it in the future.
Hi guys, i was using latest kalo ROM without any problem since yesterday, when i noticed that my notification led was red but i had no new notification, i also powered my phone off and also when my phone was turned off the led didn't turn off. The led turned off only when i removed the battery.
I tried everything, i reverted back to official 2.3.5, but the problem was still there, i also updated to official ics, but nothing...
Could someone help me? If anyone has any suggestion i would be really grateful =)
Maybe you burned your notification light? You could probably replace it.
By the way, this should go in Q and A
Edit: I thought it wouldn't turn off. Download root dim from the play market, Select other lights and scroll all the way down to red and select it. From there, try resetting it by turning it off and going back to system default. If that does not work just keep the led notification off.

Hi,
I just got my Galaxy S8, i've noticed some screen issue, especially in dark places or at night. The screen is showing weird color on the top. Check the pictures attached and let me know what do you think.
To check if you have the same issue with your phone, you need to increase the brightness to the max, turn of auto adjust brightness, and check your phone in a dark place
Erm
Just do a screen print and attach it.
takes few seconds on mobile to do.
dial *#0*# and do color tests, if it fails I would return it.
How can i show u the picture?
Hi
Green spot at top of screen
could he be referring to the iris scanner ?

I had these for like 2 seconds when I just started setting up my phone, then I never saw it again.
So it might be a software image processing glitch.
