Hi,
I want to bought an xperia play, but I must know ifit has sms/e-mail led.
I have seen many reviews but none of them shown if it has or not led for SMS, E-mail, Gtalk, etc.
Could one answer me this one?
Thanks!
Yep the power button has a notification LED inside it.
and yes it the LED lights when you receive a message/email/gtalk etc.
The only problem is that usually that LED on the power button faces away from you. I mean who picks up the phone upside down? You have to watch the phone from the far side or have it "upside down" on the table to be able to see the flashing LED light.
In my opinion this is a design flaw. The flashing LED should be on top of the phone where the light sensor is or someplace else.
I always end up pressing the home button to turn on the screen to see if I have gotten any mess/call. Much faster. Unfortunately.
Well, it's personal preferences I guess... Since you can just press home button instantly to see whether there're any messages, the LED light doesn't really help much to be honest..

It's useful if you are standing a bit from the phone. But not so much on the Play. Well... less anyway.

Hi folks, I've had my phone for two weeks, can't really seem to find any documentation on this, but the hang up/power button always seems to be lit up red. I'm not sure if the light is bleeding through, or if the rest simply are not as bright, but the back, start menu, and dial buttons seem to be lit all the time too, regardless of the situation unless off.
I'm assuming everyone else sees this too?
This was something I liked about my Touch Pro, very minnimal. I sort of miss the gentle swoosh of the d-pad on a reminder event, or when charging.
Any thoughts?
what about pressing enter?
Actually none of my buttons at the bottom light up when the device is on unless I hit one of the 4 buttons. Then they only stay lit for about 5 seconds before all going off again.
Ohh, I thought that was odd. Staying on for 5 seconds would make a lot more sense..
Enter? You mean on the keyboard?
Anyone else on a Telus Touch Pro2, can you confirm whether the four bottom buttons stay lit all the time?
Oh, now it turns out it looks like the three left buttons stay dim, but still on, unless one is pressed, but then they dim after 5 seconds or so like mentioned, but the hangup button is always bright red.
I also have the telus touch pro 2 and I have the same problem, I think its just the power/hang up button that stays on but I know what you mean about the light bleeding through to the other bottem buttons as well, I have been searching for a solution to this problem since I got it and have had no luck.
I returned the phone for another NEW one since it was DOA. Both HTC and Telus agreed. That is not a normal operation for the phone to do that, but it's odd that two are doing it.
It gave me a noticably better battery life too, so get on top of that replacement right away. The replacement phone works perfectly.
Ya my battery life hasn't been great and I thought that could be a large factor in it, so I will try to get it replaced then if thats not a normal function of the phone.

Exactly. I thought the same thing. When actually working properly, it has a long battery life for a phone like that. Significantly longer than my touch pro, which is even more than the p4000
Did you set HKLM/system/currentcontrolset/control/power/batpoweroff to 0, and not 180?
I think that might be what caused it

Its currently set to 0, thats what it should be?
The one I have now that works is set to 0. Not sure about the one that I had that was having the issue.

Can confirm my lights are OFF when charging via USB on PC. Win 7 x64 if you really care...
Edit: Assuming the screen is off. If screen on, lights are triggered by ambient light level. Try covering the earpiece to prove it.
ok, has anyone else noticed this problem,
sometimes i switch my phone off to save battery and it will switch itself on in my pocket so i need to check every now and then to see if it is really off, however, the only way to switch the screen on is with the power button so if my phone was really off then i have to let it start up and switch it off all over again.
i'm going to have a look for a way to remap the buttons without root as i cant get unrevoked to work and i cant be bothered to go about it the long way
hmm im not sure if this is the same issue, but sometimes the keys on my desire are on with the screen being turned off, im not sure if it happens on its own or what, not a big deal really

I noticed this, it is very annoying!
What ROM are you using? I use DeFrost 2.3 and you can bring the phone out of standby by pushing the trackball button. A second push unlocks the phone.
I dont understand this. If the phone is on, a single short press of the power button will light the screen. If it's off, it needs a long press to turn it back on - therefore it's pretty easy to tell the difference

i am using a tool to light up my blue led when turned on.

Mine is unmodified and i'm not planning on changing that until HTC stops issuing updates. Sounds like a good feature though, bit of an oversight on the phone that.

Yes, any sort of press turns the phone on.

Careful, it may burn the LED out if you keep it constantly on.
rofl. this burn stuff is constantly floating aroung and is still crap.
why do you think, they enable the led while charging? because it is likely to burn?
who ever brought that up .......

I agree, I think the only LED to be worried about having on for long periods of time is the SUPER BRIGHT Camera Flash LED. It's obviously a different LED than the charging/notification ones, and snudel makes sense when he says that it's enabled while charging.
snudel, do you have a link for this blue LED app? I don't even think I've ever seen the blue LED on my Desire glow, but it would be neat to have it lit when the phone is "awake".
Cheers!
you can download a blue led app here:

but don't know if this is the one that snudel uses (i think not)

I was given a Note 5 to fix. I do not know the history of the device. If a Android update was attempted or why it is needing to be fixed. It presented with a very dim (almost unreadable, except in completely dark room) screen. I have wiped cache and master reset the device. I can see that the powered off battery icon is center screen all the time and it is solid black. I cannot power it off via the normal power button but I can power it on. I can power it off using the power button + volume down. The touchscreen is responsive and not cracked or broken at all. The back, multi and home buttons react normally to touch and light up. When plugged into power or PC, it does charge and will show a red LED when charging and a green LED when battery is full. The sounds are normal as far as I can tell. I cannot get the screen to change when I swipe or press a center button. I was able to get a picture of a begrizzled man peering closely at the phone trying to figure out what the hell the problem is. So, softwarewise, some of it seems to be working. But, I cannot figure out the dim screen. Like I said earlier, there no cracks or even scratches in either glass, front or back. The bottom portion of the stylus is broken, but I was able to use a tiny phillips head to stick up in the open area and it working. I get a sound and vibration when it is removed and inserted.
Any ideas?

For some reason when the phone detects that the battery is under 5%, it will forcibly dim the screen until it is charged above 5% or plugged in. Maybe the phone thinks that the battery is at or below 5%. Have you tried plugging it into a power source to see if the screen lights up?

Update #1 - Somehow, without knowing how, I managed to turn on an Accessibility option for the phone to tell me what buttons or actions I have taken. Unfortunately for it is in Spanish. I guess I should have taken Spanish in high school...

Yes, I have plugged it to the wall, I have plugged it to my PC and I have wireless charged it. It seems to charge to full as the red LED turns green.
My phone has suddenly died today. Unsure how much battery it had when it happened, no issues before.
I lookedat my phone and it appeared to be off but I noticed a notification light flashing. Power button didnt turn the screen on, no volume or softkey interaction either. green LED still flashing (I had just not long before had a message on whatsapp so maybe it was from this).
Whatsapp web shows phone as offline, google shows phone as offline.
Connect it to USB and the laptop notices a device as I get the noise, but doesnt show as a drive in the laptop
connect it to power, nothing comes on the screen.
Call it and it doesnt ring (noise wise or screen)
Cannot reset - power button feels soft (not clicky)
Light still flashes.....
Really stuck any help appreciated.

Could it be possible you have a power button hardware failure. Try this : keep volume down pressed. If the phone reboots the power button is pressed too without you touching it.

I did think that the power button may have failed, but noting that the notification light is on, that then suggests the phone is in a powered on state - if that is the case should it not respond to an inbound call, any of the soft buttons at the bottom etc?
Just tried holding volume down for 15 seconds, nothing.....
Was hoping to get the phone to completely power down of its own accord but I dont recall if it had 3% or 70% and dont know how long a blinking LED will keep it going for!
