Hello!!
I was wondering if my moto g4 play has an hidden led notification, like moto g4 and moto g4 plus. I'm aware that it will need root access to enable it. It's a very usefull feature to me, I'm really looking forward to enable it. Thanks!!
It might. Down at the bottom, below the screen, is what looks like a light sensor for proximity... But when I cover it with my finger nothing happens. There's another at the top under the speaker too. One of these could be a hidden LED.

How did you identify the sensor? I look at my phone and can see only the mic hole at the bottom, rest is all black.
EDIT - ok I can see it in sunlight

Yeah, I identify that spots too! But I'm looking forward to someone who is rooted and can test led apps, to find out If our model has that led too... And working for notifications, not only batery charge I'm not rooted yet, but I'll, as soon as I confirm that the led works! Maybe you are rooted?
It is a blue led, you can activate it with a moto x program in app store.

Ohh cool!! Did you activate the led in your cellphone? Does it work for notifications too (besides battery charge)?

Yes, in the program only for charging or charged battery, i think its is possible, but someone needs to write a program for it, maybe theres others in play store, i just not tested yet, i think its to bright, maybe drains the battery, to enable it you need to root.

What app did you use to activate yours? I Hope someone make it works for notifications soon!!
I found want you want :
Led Notification
Maybe it works in G4 Play
I installed the app in the store for Moto X / E models "Moto X LED" and it gives me a white LED on the bottom left corner. Only for charging and not for notification though

Yeah, I tried that too! But Led usage only to indicate that the battery is charging, is not interesting for me

Thank you!!!! Have you tried it already? I'm not rooted, cause I'm waiting for a confirmation that the led can be used to notifications too
On my G4 Play (rooted, xposed) nothing else worked but the original moto x led from Motorola in the Playstore. And that app only can activate the loading notification ... all the other apps I tried from playstore did not work at all

If you use squid kernel I think it works. Didn't check on notifications but it does light up on charging the battery. It's at the bottom of the phone.

I have same question with Sukram2014. I see the led lit while charging. But we want to use it for notifications, not just for charging.

Try light flow app in play store. Haven't tried it on this phone yet but it works ony Moto Z Play. You really have to play with the settings though.

Light flow doesn't work, only app that seems to work is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=br.com.itsmeton.motoledenabler&hl=en_GB
Needs root
That one (Moto Led Enabler) doesn't seem to work for me, though. It turns on the LED when you change the brightness setting (so it's not completely broken), but doesn't do anything in response to actual notifications.
I feel like this should be entirely possible, any custom ROM's on the horizon working on this? This is my biggest gripe with the phone.
Hi everybody. Recently I bought a J7 pro for several reasons, one of which was Always on Display, a.k.a AOD. However from the first night I used it as a night clock I could apparently see that the background of the clock and notifications is not black and has a faint light. The funny part is that the preview of AOD is fine with all the black pixels off, but when you actually use it, all the pixels are on. I asked several J730F owners and they had the same problem, however my device is J730G. Please test and report. Just remember the environment must be completely dark.

Hey
I have the same problem
I have a j730f/D's
It's really frustrating and I guess it drains the battery a lot
I also noticed the that the preview of the aod is perfect on all brightness levels
Maybe thats because the display panel uses different settings when real aod is on ( like udervoltage and lower refresh rate things like this but I am not an expert )
Also visible on 3rd party apps from the PlayStore
I guess Samsung is using some hardware tweaks there to optimise battery life
What I also noticed is when the real aod is set to full brightness because of the sunlight the screen really gets black ( you can try this with a flashlight or so )
But on the lowest brightness the screen gets grey .
Would love to know if this is just software related or hardware
Because if it is hardware I give it a try and send it back

That's exactly my situation as well. On low brightness the screen is unbearably gray, otherwise it seems to be completely black. I guess you can try sending it back, unfortunately I don't have that option.
3rd party apps sucks because they can't use this special display mode Samsung uses
Maybe I will send it back
But I am not sure about that I wanted to wait until an update is coming, maybe it's software related so they can fix it .
I also send an email to Samsung but I saw your post on the Samsung forum so I don't expect too much
With how many ppl did you talk about that problem that have the j730f ? I mean it doesn't make sense to send it back and get a new one if it is a problem for every device
I got the same issue on my J730G/DS. When on low brightness aod, i can notice the whole screen lighting up a little bit. But on high brightness it is completely black. I think all j7 pro have this issue. At least we could try to send it back to samsung and see if they will fix or even do something about this issue.

Unfortunately we don't have a robust Samsung representative here and I believe we cannot convince them about this issue. I believe you guys should go for the guarantee. This way at least you raise the issue to their awareness in practice.
I have the same issue too.
I've chatted with samsung and ask them to try this but they keep saying "All of our units are fine".

In fact, as I check the problem with several users of the 16 and 32 GB variants of both Chinese and Philippines models, it seems ALL their units are faulty.

I found several threads out there talking about this problem. Generally the problem was with S7 and other Samsung flagship devices. In all the circumstances there, the problem only was fixed by changing the AMOLED panel. However here in J7 pro it seems that when the screen is well lit, the black is truly black and when the ambient sensor reduces the light the problem shows its ugly face. This problem was not mentioned anywhere in those threads I mentioned.

I don't wanna waste any more money on my phone. So yeah let see what will Samsung do. It's impossible that this is the AMOLED panel fault. Looks like the version of our AOD is a bit old. Try compare it with the A 2017 Nougat AOD.

i tried atleast 3 different third party aod apps and all worked fine but only fault was battery consumption. so maybe it is not hardware problem. its just software related. we can only hope that samsung fixes it soon by update

Although I hope so and believe that j7 problem is different from previous problems seen on other faulty aods, but the way aod works is different from the way other aod apps work.
Hey guys
I've borrowed my friend's J7 Pro to see if she had this AOD problem. After I bring it to a very dark place, the AOD works like it should (No grayish AOD background). Guess it's a hardware problem. I will try to send it back to Samsung if I have time.

Have u tried it when the screen light adjusts to the dark environment? If so please do send it back to make sure what the source of the problem is.

The AOD uses the ambient light sensor to decide what brightness should be used ( I think AOD only recognize Dark and Bright situation, just like most of the proximity sensors )
So because it's dark, the screen also adjust itself to dark situation. No grayish background is seen. I compare mine with her side by side and I can see the difference.
Another thing to proof that this is a hardware problem is that when you put your finger on the fingerprint sensor and it unlocks, between the unlocking process, you can see the screen flicker before it unlocks the phone. Same as when you boot up the phone. Right after when you press the power button and it vibrate, you can see a flicker before "Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro" is shown.

Please do us all a huge favor and take some time and send the device to Samsung (I would if my phone was under warranty) so we can make sure what the root of the problem is and don't raise our hopes. :good:

I will find some time to send it back to Samsung. The distance from My home to the nearest Samsung Service Center is very far, took me about half an hour with usual traffic. But they are usually traffic jammed, so I predict an hour trip to the SSC. Not an easy job though I'm very busy all day.

I have this issue ever since I bough the phone in early August. Not 1 but 2 unit, model SM-J730G/DS. Both show the same symptom. Do Samsung selling phone with defect amoled panel or poor software implementation? What the hell!
If you all notice, the official samsung's AOD app for our J7 pro is not available anymore in Play Store. Why they remove support for our device? Why? From the feedback there, a lot of j7 pro owner report about this aod problem...

So I was having screen burn issue on my Redmi Note 4 Snapdragon varient and I was really sad to see burn in issues after flashing Resurrection Remix ROM.
Burn in issue didn't happen to me before but after I flashed Custom ROM, I started noticing it.
So then I went to Service Centre and I showed them the issue.. They replaced my LCD Panal.. I was happy and thought I'd not get burn in issue again.. But nope.. It happened again..
Then I started searching for posts about burn in issue.. And finally on this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/help/screen-burn-mido-3-32-tianma-display-t3673540 @muzaffarsyam
posted a fix for this.. So first I thought it was a hardware issue but after trying his solution, I realised that it was actually software issue.. It's Actually Colour Calibration issue..
All You need to do is set the "Colour Calibration" as shown in the attachment and It will fix the issue.. This is tested by me and @muzaffarsyam and so far it's working fine.. He has given me the permission to make a thread for this issue...

Hi, good thing we come to conclusion to solution, everything I do before this thread started not working.
I`ll try to sett the contrast to Cool (MIUI) since only this logic solution.
I try to check the LCD on CIT and the issue not showing, so I`m 60% sure this is software/setting issue

I bought a galaxy S10 Plus recently and I already noticed the same problem of display as my old galaxy s9 plus, the dark parts are pixelated, the famous black crush, I am well stressed, I sold my s9 plus and bought the s10 plus only because of this problem, is there any way to resolve this without application? the screen balance spoils the image more than it improves.

Can you solve this? I used an application but if it closes it unintentionally the bad effects come back and it brightens the blacks but worsens the rest
Edit 1 :
I've done it until the hard reset did not solve it, I restored the original software from Brazil's sammobile site and it also did not change anything ... what can I do?

Hello guys, I'm new on Mi 9t, I have it since one month now.
I'm running 11.0.5 global (waiting for miui 12) and everything is working smootly (a part some heating problems and battery drain).
Yesterday I noticed a BIG strange spot on the right side of the display only when I have a black/dark theme (for example on Telegram) and when brightness/light around the phone is low.
I tried to googled it but I didn't find anything useful and still don't understand if it's software or hardware. I just get that is a common issue of AMOLED screen but in 2020 I don't get how this is not fixable lol.
Any suggest?
Thanks in the advance and I wish you a happy day!
