LED Light fairly dim.... - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Compared to my note 2, i find the LED light pretty dim and at times tough to see - anyone else notice this ?
That would be my only complaint about the phone.....

I agree. Mine is pretty dim, compared to my S3. I'm not sure if there's some sort of auto brightness at play here. Green seems a lot brighter than blue.

flash led is really Dim too, but its software limited, any off the shelf "brightest flashlight" apps from play
turn it up by atleast 40%.

Be careful with that app "Brightest Flashlight". The amount of permissions is simply ridiculous. There are other options that only use camera/microphone. This one needs Location, Photos/Media Files, Wifi connection info, Device ID and call info, and the mysterious "other".

i tested and deleted it very quickly, as the app itself is rubbish.
Thanks for the heads up! lots of shady devs..

It's an auto brightness feature...only way to turn it off is with a root app (I used to use Xposed led module)

Do you feel it really increases battery time?
I am currently trying out Juice Defender free on the standard preset for my unmodded Galaxy Nexus. Unfortunately I am not thinking that I am going to continue with it.
So far it has crashed my phone to reboot (first time that has happened) and when not using my 4g it turns it off but it takes forever for it to come back on once I want to use the phone and it gets pretty frustrating having a useless phone for about 5-8 minutes everytime I pick it up.
I hope you have better luck than I am having.

Strange. It's never done any of that on mine. I'm on HSPDA+ though.
As for whether if makes a difference I'd definitely have to say a big yes. But it all depends on how you use your phone.
Ultimate working nicely here. Syncs every 15 min like it should. Screen is eating 60-70% so it makes only a small difference.

I bought ultimate, and found it to be a bit of a hog. I then turned off all the extra stuff and went back to the basic setting - the same as the free version, and noticed very little difference.
I think it might help you if you're one of those people who accidentally leaves radios on, or don't have high signal most places you go. For me a UV kernel made the only real difference.
It works well but not saving as much battery as it did on Gingerbread. Default Android idle-time battery management seems to have got much better.

This. I see a nice increase in battery life while I'm not using it, but if I have it on a lot (which I usually do) the battery gets drained pretty quickly.
I keep my phone on CDMA mode most of the time, unless I need to download something or want to watch a movie, then I switch to CDMA/LTE. I'm still not sure how much it helps though, as I've only had the phone for a little over a week.
For me, JD Ultimate works wonders. Especially when I'm at work and not playing with the phone too often and having only 2 signal bars, JD enables radio every 30 mins to allow apps to sync. It also manages my brightness automatically, which results in screen usually taking less than 50% of battery.
In general it helps me a lot, like it did on SGS2. My night schedule uses airplane mode and I only loose 2-3% over night.
I would have to remember about too many things if not using JD, so for me well worth it.

It does, i never used beta and JD controls my brightness. Remember there is a bug related to manual apk install where you cant tap install. I still use JD for brightness, just disable it in quick menu when manually installing apps then reenabling right away.

When JD is managining brightness, if the phone is asleep, when waking it up with the power button the screen comes full brightness and then settles to a lower level, which is quite annoying. Do you see this happening too?

That is totally weird, cause mine seems to wake up high and only then lower the brightness. I wonder if it's ROM related, although I'm on stock kernel 4.0.3.

Beacuse, believe it or not, it provides functions that some people find useful. Same goes for LightFlow, if you like the white-only color led notification of pure android, then you don't need this app either. If you prefer more colors/choices, then you do.

I purchased JD Ultimate yesterday so I can't really comment on how well it is improving my battery life. I will say that I am having issues going back to LTE when the screen is unlocked (Using the network mode setting). The phone keeps going to WCDMA instead of LTE. However, I noticed that since I have been using JD Beta 3.8.8, version 3.8.9 has come out and has addressed a few of my issues. The configure apps now works without crashing JD. I still don't know if the LTE is functioning incorrectly as I haven't had time away from my computer (I have no Wi-Fi at my hotel and must tether).
Is anyone else experiencing issues with the phone going to WCDMA mode after the phone wakes up? Also, what version of JD are you using?

Preventing screen dimming while charging?

There is this OLD free app I have been using for a long time. SIMPLE and EFFECTIVE.
It's a Screen On Widget. When you want the screen to stay on, simply click either a SHORTCUT or a WIDGET. You can disable from the notification bar as well. It's a manual solution. There are other automatic solutions, but they will cause some battery drain and mild cpu. It's hard to find. I uploaded it here.

This option is removed in TouchWiz, its an AOSP option. However, this is one if the first things I've re-added to TouchWiz. OP, if you can survive until Monday, I'll post up a flash able package to re-enable this option.

As promised, here's a CWM flashable package that will re-enable the "Stay Awake" option in Settings > Development.
This is for the SGH-I747, UCALH1. This package is for a stock, deodexed ROM, so if you're running an odexed ROM you'll want to delete your /system/app/SecSettings.odex file after flashing.
Enjoy!
as a precaution just remember that Samsung removed the option to prevent burn-in to the amoled screens, something that was a big problem on the epic 4g. also to reduce wear on the leds.

How Can You Disable Screen Dimming?

Is there a way to keep the screen from dimming after a period of time? I set it to never turn the screen off while charging, but it still dims while the music app is up when it's charging in the car which is annoying. I can't find the setting anywhere in LG's settings or in tweaksbox.
I tried Lux as others have suggested but it still dims in my truck. Very annoying.
This app has helped for me: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.synetics.stay.alive
My screen doesn't dim ... did you turn off Auto brightness?
What would cause it to dim by itself? I only run at 61% brightness so maybe I haven't experienced this yet
My auto brightness is off and it still dims. Lux auto is on or off and it still dims.

Yup, I always have auto brightness off. It just dims after a minute or so of no input - which happens while I'm driving. I always keep it at 100% unless I'm in the dark which may be why you haven't noticed it - the screen may dim to around 60% anyways. I find it weird that you can't adjust how long it waits to dim, or turn that feature off. I'm guessing this is part of LG trying to help with battery life.

I've only ran into that a couple times and the screen dimmed to 90-95% and I had to manually turn it back up. This is different where it goes bright again as soon as I touch the screen and the dimming is much darker than 90% - more around the 50% ballpark.
Wow, yeah that sounds extreme...
I know it's a pain, but have you considered doing a hard reset to see if it is indeed setting/software related?
If the OP was referring to the "Screen brightness lowered due to high temperature" message.
Go into the hidden menu by typing 3845#*855# (replace 855 with your devices model number, mine is a D855).
Then scroll down to Thermal Daemon Mitigation OFF and make sure it is enabled (on).
Reboot the device and you can now force maximum brightness all the time.

I actually had to get a second phone a week ago because I cracked my screen (a few hours before my protector came in the mail). At least it was early enough that I got a brand new phone through insurance instead of refurbished, but both phones do it. Could be a Sprint vs Verizon difference - Verizon likes to go crazy with phone mods lol. Though I don't normally run into it with normal usage - only when the screen is set to stay on while charging through the developer option and I'm driving with music.
Mine does that. Sprint phone, happens after a minute of no input, including when the screen is set to stay always on. However, I notice this doesn't happen when running Maps.
I've already gone through two phones, same on both.

There are certain apps - and Maps is definitely one - which will not allow the screen to dim or the device to sleep. (YouTube is another for example, also iHeartRadio, etc.) Really the best thing to do is mod using something like Tasker or Stay Alive! as I mentioned in an earlier post for specific apps. I use mine for the Music app since typically I've got mine on the car charger and dash mount and it makes no sense to go through a whole screen unlocking routine to fully operate music after a while.

new user LG G4 help

Ive had a G4 for about 3 weeks now, and would greatly appreciate a little help as a few of the other forums seemed to not offer much advise.
1. When the phone is at rest and charging, the LED flashes/beeps on and off a red color. When it's fully charged the LED flashes Green. Aren;t these lights supposed to be solid? Could my unit be defective? Ive heard yes and no answers.
2. With auto dim set to off and screen brightness at 65%, almost everytime i unlock the phone it auto dims by itself. Ive never experienced this with any other phone except the G3 a year ago. it this normal?
3. On standby the battery does not deplete. Like ever. It was at 88%, and 3 hours later was at 88%. But 5 minutes of simply chrome browsing brought it down to 81%. 5 minutes.
im not rooted, and use only stock, AT&T software. I really like this phone, but want to make sure they aren't all like mine.
Thanks
I have 815 UK version (or international as some people say, or European... or Korean...lol) Anyway, when charging I am shown solid red, when fully charged, solid green. Not sure about the brightness thing, I have mine on auto all the time as I'm afraid of losing too much battery lol. Depletion of battery at rest sounds about right, if it's not doing anything why would the battery go down? However yes, chrome is very resource heavy and I suggest using the stock browser (if you have it, for example on the 815).
IMO.

There is a known issue with the LED light no clearing properly on the G4, here, try this.
Notification LED issues
The notification LED issues have been reported on some G4 handsets, wherein the phone's notification LED keeps flashing randomly even when no notification has been received. In some rare cases, it is ascertained that the LED continues to blink even after dismissing the notification.
Potential solutions
This is a relatively common issue found in Android 5.0 Lollipop, which can be fixed using the Clock application that can be downloaded here. Although this is not an issue with the Clock app itself, it is a means to fix the Notification LED issue.
The issue seems to occur on some devices after receiving notifications from third-party messaging apps like Whatsapp. Such faulty apps could be removed to check if the problem persists. If the issue is gone after the removal of the app, you may need to install the latest app update from the developer to resolve the issue permanently.
If everything else fails, just turn off the LED completely, by going to Settings > Sound & Notification > Notification LED.

Yes, the LED orange light will "breathe" like you see on Macbooks or other charging devices, it gets brighter/dimmer gradually/smoothly. So if your LED is "blinking" ON/OFF then that is not normal. It should gradually and smoothly pulse brighter and dimmer.
Mine blinks, on and off. Like a notification but with a 1 second interval. When charged does the same thing but is Green.
You say yours pulses. Others say it's a solid color.
Why is this device so buggy across the board? I feel it truly does everything, and is beautiful, yet I feel theres very little consistency in performance.
I'm going to write an email to LG, and try to find out exactly whats supposed to be happening when this phone is charging.
From my limited time with this puppy, I've noted that mine's blue (for notifications and full charge) and red (charging). And no, I'm not color-blind. Yet.

LED disabled on 7.0 Nougat?

In Marshmallow we had the enable LED option under Settings -> Screen, on Nougat this option is not there anymore, Light Flow with Normal/Direct/ROOT mode doesn't work too..
Does anyone knows an easy way tô enable the LED?
Since Marshmallow I've been enabling Miracast with a simple line on build.prop, hopefully there is another for enabling the LED.
Thanks.

I noticed this on one of my apps when I set the phone down for a few hours like overnight, no light and no sound. I woke up this AM and seen no notification light and then as soon as i pressed the power button to wake up the screen the notification sound played. defiantly a bug, not sure if its with one specific app or across the board. I have yet to get a late night call, as far as I know.

It should not matter if it was charging or not, I'm trying to understand where you are going with this?
The app functions perfectly until the phone is left alone for several hours then it will never notify, no light, no sound, nothing until I hit the power button., then the sound played no light obviously.
I am tempted to start a thread on this shortly, but I need to see if other apps behave the same way.

I know there is that option, however I did not have to preform this in 6.0.1 for any app, so that's why I am wondering whats up and if that will make a difference or not. I do know that apps with GCS can automatically bypass this from what I read, but that has to be written into the app. I will continue to experiment with seeing what apps do it or do not do it without messing around with turning off optimization for any app like with 6.0.1 . Either this version of doze is overly aggressive or its a bug

From my understanding/experience, Doze is significantly more aggressive now than it was in 6. Which is great for battery life, but annoying when you're watching TV and expecting an email or some such.
The charging comment in my other post was due to the understanding that doze is disabled while charging; if you charge over night everything should come in normally, but if you just leave the phone down then it will not.

I thought that might be what you might be getting at .
If doze is more aggressive, i think it is overly aggressive to the point where sometime within an hour of setting your phone down it will only alert for calls/text messages, nothing else, then if the text come in early enough in the light the notification light will completely stop by the time you wake up. I am just not too happy about how overly aggressive this is as like you stated expecting someone to contact you in some way you are SOL. I don't think one should have to go through every single app to set it manually, that is pointless IMO
I have re flashed my system partition since the factory images came out a few hours ago so maybe(not) that could help but I am not optimistic.
Thanks for clearing that up

Doze does not completely kill the services. It just adds more and more delay to its syncing, so even if doze is working aggressively, the notifications should be delayed (like by some seconds or minutes), not completely disabled. The case you are stating doesn't seems normal. I don't know if the apps need to be updated.

So, at least in my case, I solved this issue with the notification light. I went into Settings --> System UI Tuner --> Other --> Power Notification Controls --> and turned them on. Then, Settings --> Notifications --> Touchdown (the app that was giving me problems) --> and changed the notification level from Auto to Level 4 (one down from the top).
Since then, the notification light works as expected.
