Hi I just bought the sony Xperia z1 compact and was wondering how you can edit the settings for the light.
As when I receive a text the light flashes so slowly I barely notice it but the light flashes at a much faster rate when it has no signal (the speed I would like for my texts) is there a way to say change these over or even perhaps change the colour and the flash rate individually please help.
And possibly get rid of the light when it has no signal completely
App Store -> "Light Flow"

I'm having a bit of trouble. Whenever I get a text message or MMS the green notification LED doesn't turn to amber? Anyone know a way to get it to turn amber when a message is received?
Haha, I wish you were right and we had a problem. No, this is what we call a feature in the Excalibur. The LED doesn't turn amber at all when you receive a message.
The only way you can tell you have received a message is when the phone is charging and there's a steady green or a steady yellow. If a message is received, then it blinks green.
It's really annoying and pisses me off coming from the PPC world but that is just the way it is. If it makes you feel better, Treo 750 users have similar issues and that's a full blown WM5 phone.
There may be programs floating around that can change the LED upon certain triggers but the ones that I have tried don't really work. If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them. We all know that the LED can blink yellow, green or red. It should just be a matter of software to get that going.
I have been using DontForget. It has the ability to turn off your LED and have it blink only when you have and email, or SMS or a missed call. Or, if you like to keep the normal flashing, you can set it to just blink faster when there's a notification. IMO this should be part of the OS. Get it at http://blog.softimage.cz/?page_id=83
I have also been using DF since Day 1 but it is kinda quirky. I would prefer to change the color of the LED rather than turn it off completely and have it flash faster (I mean how the hell do you distinguish the faster flashing from the slower flashing--I can't and I tried).
I've configured my DF to turn off the LED as well, i'm quite happy with it
Sweet! Thanks a lot for the help. It was a life saver
First of all. I would like to know, if the LED light can change to different colors other than the Green, orange(?), and red?
If so, is there anyway that I can tweak the led light on the top of the rhodium to turn a certain color when we have a notification waiting? (New Email, Text message, ect.)
i guess the hardware device can't support ....
afaik the LED under that is a standard 3 pin Green/Red LED. The orange is created by combining the two. So no there aren't really any other colour options. Aside from maybe getting greener or redder shades of orange.
There was a great app written for the Kaiser called Kaiser notification that allowed you to change the color of the led for different notifications. I think this is what you are asking about is it not?
I'd love to know how to change the colors for particular notifications!
I'd love to know if there is anyway to DISABLE the green blinking that goes on and on indicating reception.
There was superb app for my old Titan from no2chem... anything similar for our TP2's?

Interesting, my Tilt 2 does NOT blink for reception, bluetooth, or GPS, unlike the original Tilt which blinked incessantly without KaiserNotification set up.
Maybe ROM differences?
I've looked around a fair bit and haven't found anything, but does anyone know of a good way to get a constant blinking status light on the Rhodium (specifically Tilt2)? My old Kaiser had a blinking green light to indicate network status, which was useful, not only for verifying that the phone was locked onto the cell network, but also for finding the phone at night, or in a pitch black room. Also, there was an excellent tool "kaiser notification" that let you configure all the different lights, and events attached to them.
I know all about the stock ways of adjusting the led notifications (for missed call, new text, new email, etc) but i wanted to know if anyone knows of a tool to customize the led notifications, or of any way to make the light blink continuously when the phone is sleeping, but connected to the cell network.
Thanks in advance for any input!
Is there a way to get the notification light to blink all the colors it gives me as far a options b/c it only blinks red & no other colors? I have went through the stock text app, handcent, email to change the settings but they all blink as red.
I tested this yesterday and recommend Light Flow from the market.. there is a lite version that's free and you can test out the LED light. We only have Red, Blue, and a combination of both of them that looks like Magenta. You have to set it to Green in the app for Magenta..
I saw another post on this, but couldn't get it to blink at a regular rate. No matter how I changed the flash led setting, it would stay lit for a long time and eventually blink, only to resume again. Do you have settings that allow it to flash quicker?
Thanks.
I tried the light flow app which it worked to get the light to flash but none of the colors worked but some how it disabled my email notification light.
Hey guys, what's your Light Flow flash rate at? I currently have everything on "Fast" but I want something that is somewhat slower, gets to the brightest point of the LED and stays there for like a second or two and then starts fading again. When I try "slow" or anything it merges the LED's for different notifications together.
On charge I use "fast" - on battery I use "latest."
You need to select 'custom LED flash rate' and then input your own numbers. Mine is set to 230,1070. The first number is how long the light stays on, the second is how long it's off. Keep testing numbers till you get the effect you want.
