Swapping out the Camera LEDs

Thinking about swapping out the 2 camera leds....
That board comes right out; and the leds appear to just be PLCC2's with a cap on them.
Thinking
Blue,
Obnoxiously overpowered white,
Cyan,
IR,
UV.
Leaning towards IR or UV, any input?
Would anyone like a walk-through for this aswell?
For reference, i am talking about [12]

Yea always have the idea on swapping the led to blue
Can you post the tutorial or pm?

Yea ill post the tutorial when i make it.

Kind of a neat idea, although I don't understand the point of going IR or UV? I only ever use the LEDs as a flashlight, so I think some higher powered white replacements might be cool, but that's just me.

would there be any way to add 2 more leds to the right side? keep 2 white leds, then 1 UV and 1 IR

Ha, UV might be cool. Wouldn't the camera sensor need to be modified to see IR though?

NOPE!
This is an IR flashlight. Pretty much every digital camera sensor can see IR.

I was thinking about that, but theres no easy way to switch between them so the uv and IR would be useless.

I guess I should've specified. The sensor can see IR, but to get the true IR effect, the sensor needs to ONLY see the IR spectrum. Or maybe you could devise some IR filter? Those pics look like a regular sensor capturing IR light, which looks kinda weak and purplish. It's cool though, sounds like a sweet mod and you should go for whatever is most useful to you.

changing the notification led would be nice to have multicolor besides red,amber and green

That is probably the only thing I miss from my old Droid 2. I'm thinking that would be more complex than changing the camera LEDs though. Plus, how would the phone know that it has those additional colors to utilize? Maybe an app like "blink" or something..

Im pretty sure that LED is a 0603 package. -im not a robot
If your not familiar see below.

Those LEDS are not PLCC2's,
anyone know what package size these are?

they are definitely package 1206 SMD LEDs / Mini PLCC2 / SMT LEDs
<-18000mcd? Im going to try and cram some of those on it

A small mod for the Chinese wireless charging kit.

Hey guys, I bought the white wireless charging kit from Alibaba express and it works perfectly however I wasn't too happy about the indicator lights as they were too bright for me and I couldn't sleep at night with those bright LED's..so I went ahead and carried out a small mod. This might be helpful to someone so thought I'd share it here.
I opened up the charger and placed a thick piece of tape on one of the sides right next to the LED's. This side faces my bed so I wanted to make sure all that light bleed was taken care of.

}
Then I cut out small pieces of black tape and placed them right above the LED's.
Here's how it looks.
I also stuck an NFC sticker on the inside which I've programmed to toggle between silent modes and use before going to bed.
Here's how it looks, a good round LED with no light bleed and NFC functionality as a bonus
Sorry I didn't take any before pictures but those who own this charger will know how it looks and is not very pleasant.
Cheers.

you should of opt for a black base, not light bleed and less bright.

I personally just used a single strip of black electrical tape.solved all that within seconds.

Do you happen to have any before pics for comparison?

Looks like you have to use light flow, the free version only allows certain features to receive customization. you have to buy the one for additional apps to light up

That's a good shout, I know there is a video of a demo Moto G with a red LED flashing away so perhaps the costs became too great for the production models.

Yep I've seen that, that's from a preproduction unit.
shame how it's been dropped, surely it didn't contribute to costs that much.
Inside I'm hoping its just a software glitch lol but its not likely it seems. There's always hope lol maybe somebody can find someway to activate if it is there

Maybe I am talking b.s here, but isnt white always a combination of RGB? I mean wouldnt it otherwise be either R, G or B according to its wavelength? White is a combination of all those. So it should be a question of implementation. CMIIW

Not necessarily, according to Wikipedia: "the development of the first white LED... employed a Y3Al5O12:Ce, or "YAG", phosphor coating to mix down-converted yellow light with blue to produce light that appears white."
ie, some white LEDs only produce white light when you stick a voltage across them.

No need for it.
Think of all the "things that would cost only a few cent" - sum that up and you are at a phone with a $300 price tag. I do understand Moto and think, they did everything right.

Anyhoo like I said its a shame that it didnt come witha coloured led.

That sucks... I better stick to my S4 then... Was going to sell my s4 while the value was good and use Moto g for a few months until s5 comes out!

When does the led works? I have heard that it doesnt switch on with a missed call for example.

Does Lightflow control frequency on the Moto G correctly?
With the absence of color I'd like to make like a Rapid Flash, Slow Flashing, Solid cycling light for like Text messages, missed calls, and emails respectively

The frequency setup with lightflow works. I use a fast frequency for charging and permanently on for fully charged.

[Q] lg g3 text glow

Has anyone with the g3 noticed any issues with text contrast issues where it looks like an old vga monitor that hadnt been auto adjusted? If there is black text on a grey or coloured background it has a white glow, if its white text on a dark background it has a black glow

From what ive read this appears to be due to the sharpness setting used so if anyone knows how to adjust the display sharpness that would be great

This is what Erica Griffin noticed on her phone a F400K I believe do you have the same model?

If that's what you choose to do, then that's totally up to you.
I just wanted to make sure you were aware that there's not any actual reason for you to do it; just in case you were only doing it because you thought you should or needed to .
Looking forward to hearing how you find the phone!

Had a bit of time with the phone now, installing apps (well watching Google auto-install my apps anyway) and there is a bit of glow, but it is no where near as bad as what Raider seems to have, its barely noticeable at all.
The colour contracts will take some getting used to, as it is very different to the nexus 5 that I have been using recently.

Same as me it's very hard to notice maybe it's an issue with the korean handsets only?

Possibly the UK version has newer update which reduces the issue? After all the Korean ones are all carrier branded

Ok. Now I see it. In person must be more visible and annoying.

I hear from a friend that has one that its not too bad except for on LGs menus and home screen. Its like they have added a border around thier text lables to make it "easier" to read.
My friend said it is not there with an aftermarket launcher (nova, ect). So it is an LG text setting and not a screen issue.
**If somone else here with an LGG3 could load nova to verify that would be nice.**

Who else has backlight bleed?

There have been a few reports on Reddit of backlight bleed in demo units. Personally, one of my Raspberry Rose units has the backlight bleed (between the home and app switcher buttons, aka circle and square) and the other does not. I created a form to get an idea if this issue is widespread (like the G2x) or if maybe it's just an early batch problem or it's really not a problem and just a few flawed units. Please contribute to the form either way, the more data the better.
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1...FaGANnb1DlA_gATnM9EYXKxg/viewform?usp=sf_link

For reference, this is a bad case of the backlight bleed:

Sorry! It's not noticeable on certain screens, seems like solid white/light gray is most prone to showing it. My G2x didn't have much bleed, but that had a whole class action lawsuit against it.

Light bleed is a complaint on a lot of devices even tv's.

I as well have the light bleed in that same exact spot. Yours looks a lot worse than mine though. To be honest, I think it's mainly an LG thing to have something slightly wrong with their displays. I've had their v10 and every flagship after that besides the v30 and they always had that slight light bleed issue

Yeah, but at least the V10/20 had a secondary backlight with a weird screen design to blame it on. I'd actually understand it more if the bleed on this one was around the notch, the bottom doesn't make much sense.

I think it does since the bottom is where all the ports are.

There's a tiny amount of backlight bleed on mine. Right at the bottom of the screen, just like in your picture. Just not nearly as bad. In fact, I didn't notice it until I went looking for it. Picked up a gray one from T-Mobile yesterday.

I had a small mark at the exact same spot as the OP so I will be exchanging mine at Tmobile when they open in 2 hours.
In my experience, bleeding does spread over time. I am on Jump on Demand and will probably only keep this for less than 6 months but still, now that I have noticed the spot, it will drive me nuts.

Yep, new one is flawless

why is that more with the gray one ?

Well, thanks for that. Just realized I have one in the exact same spot, too. I don't think it will drive me nuts, but now I know it's there.

im on HK/SG set. my screen is perfect.. no such issue

I have the light bleed as well, I bought mine off craigslist and now I can't even walk into a store to exchange. So looks like I'm screwed and can't even exchange. And I don't know if LG will do anything if I contact them. They rejected my LG promise registration for 2nd year warranty since I didn't buy directly from an authorized retailer.
