Hey Guys,
Just received my P8000 today and its just amazing. The only thing I am having the trouble with is the LED light. Its just not working at all. I have updated the SW, Rebooted it but I cant get it to work, I have tried testing the LED with Lightflow app but it doesnt glow. any solutions?
Let me guess: it's either white or gold.
If so, chances are that your device comes from the very first batch of P8000. And all of the phones from this batch lack that LED. There's nothing you can do, except maybe to ask your vendor for a replacement.
I myself am biting my nails while I'm waiting for my unit to be shipped, although I ordered a grey one (and supposedly not from the first batch of white and gold units only, as the rumor goes).

Its a white one indeed, this is extremely strange that certain colours dont have LED. I mean what kind of manufacturing process is that
I'm also waiting for this LED issue to settle down before ordering. I really like the phone but I definitely want it WITH the LED notification.
I will most probably buy from aliexpress. How can I ensure that the phone I buy is from the new batch and has the LED.?
buy the grey one or wait two to four weeks

you could try asking the seller as most do test the phones before sending out so worth a try..

No notifiction light here neither. Mine is gold....
Got me a white model. No LED indicator. Given the price, shouldn't really matter but maybe there will be after market parts to buy and install the LED indicator(?).
Mine is golden and it's got the led notification, so it's not only black phones that have it

I got my phone today too. A grey model from geekbuying. I don't find the led. I download the led color change app and when i test the middle button flashes that blue color. Should I assume that mine came without led as well?
White model here as well. No LED as well...
@pelloplasma: The center button IS the notification light when it flashes there is a notification.

yeah, lucky you! but you can't change the colour - that would be asking too much!
Yes, for 150 buck I paid it was tough request to have LED in my phone, infact who the hell does want LED notification these days? who would ever want to know when ther's an unread message waiting or a lost call?
p.s. for 3 bucks more I would have loved to have LED in it, ****, with the chinaphone there is ALWAYS something little that you miss so much...
My LED light works but it doesn't flash when receiving a notification, any ideas how to enable it? I've checked settings.
Hi,
Is there any parts avaiable to have LED indicator for P8000, my phone if the first white series to.

Hey,
I have had my device for one week, so under DSR working days I should still have time to return.
I have discovered a dead pixel at the top of the screen, which is always blue - I will try and get hold of tMobile tomorrow but wondering if anything else I can do or if It can be sorted.
The pixel appears blue on bright backgrounds, and is annoying - but i'm pissed because i got it last saturday, so its 7 days till now, may be on my own grrr - They state that the 7 days cooling of starts the day after the phone arrived, so its now 8 days so today is fine, however DSR states working days, minus weekend and good friday I should have a few more days - None the less hoping to get it replaced? Oh, forgot Easter Monday too :S
I've emailed tmobile and will try and phone them now, hopefully CS is still open.
Thanks
Also, I think it just developed or something, wasnt there before? - When screen is black, its not visible, when screne is red visible as a black spot, when screen is blue not visible, when screen is white visible as a blue spot - Ran that JScreenFix app twice both times for 20 minutes, no change :S

Sorry to hear that
JScreenFix is only for when the pixel is stuck not dead,
from your description the dead pixel is RED not BLUE.
I am just curious as to why you say PLEASE HELP!! it's not like we can help you. Just return it for warranty or replacement.
Its panic - and when one does it they become ignorant
Well, I've contacted TMobile, they have no HTC Desire stock so cant exchange it now, however I'll call back tomorrow and a note has been left incase I'm out of the 7 working day DSR period.
Spoke with a lady who hadnt the idea what a dead pixel was and said "in the meantime ask HTC if there is a solution"
Thanks
I have also discovered a dead pixel in the middle of the screen. Can't see it unless you really look for it. It is only visible on a white background and shows up as pink... lol
Will they exchange mine under warranty? I don't want to call them now, I will use it for a few more months and then exchange it for a new one.
Doesn't there have to be 3-4 'Dead' pixels before an item is deemed 'Faulty' and any returns is at the manufactures discression?

Basically - yes. It also depends how many and the type of defect within an area. If you have 2 at opposite ends of the display - this could be ok, however if they were close together - could be classed as a defect. Its basically up to HTC and what their criteria is.
I would have thought they would replace a dead pixel, even if it was only one. Let us know how you get on with your replacements.

No way in hell will they swap it for a new one if it's a few months old. Do it right away and they MIGHT, maybe.
T-mobile agreed to swop mine out 3 weeks ago but haven't replaced it yet due to lack of stock. Whilst I could chase them I'm not overly rushed as I still haven't received my screen protectors yet!

I have a red pixel.. what does that mean? I have had it for a long time but im not sure if its dead or stuck..? thanks in advance
dead pixel means that nothing is shown the pixel is only ever black... stuck pixel means that it only ever shows one colour...
that was the definitions i was last told anyways!!
You both have dead pixels. I think it highly improbable that they will ever become unstuck. Hehe.
If you can take it back then do so quickly because only a new screen will fix it.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
If the pixel is red, or any other color except white or black, it probably is a stuck pixel. And I read the beginpost quickly, and if I remember well (it's pretty late here, sorry for any possible mistakes in my post), the pixel sometimes changed.
If that is the case, it is absolutely not dead. If an app which 'wakes up' the pixels doesn't work, I don't know what will. And last, I wonder if your provider or the manufacturer will repair this for free. I read somewhere that there have to be a certain amount of dead pixels before it is accepted for a free repair.
Hi.
I got my phone back from LG service (bootlooped, they replaced motherboard).
But since its back I noticed my led flash isnt working. Only one of them (top) is flashing. Any solutions?
Or should I send them it back again? Idk if its worth wasting time cuz I guess its no rly diference with 1 or 2.

Check by taking photos in white fluro lit room as well as yellow incadescent light. There is a difference between the two LED, you should see the plastic lens one is yellow and one is orange. These two work to balance out the colour of environment so there is a reason to have both working.
Also check by using a torch app.
Can anyone tell if this thing has a LED notification light? Link to picture or video?
I'm wondering the same thing. I'm also interested in knowing if it does have a notification LED, if the colors available are just amber and green, which would be consistent with other HTC phones, or if additional colors are available.
Yes it does have one below the top speaker grill. i saw a video of it blinking green but i watched so many idk which one it was.
It definitely has one at 3.23 in this video you see it flash quickly under the earpiece https://youtu.be/exsEpSnVA0A?t=201
Does the LED blink for notifications when plugged in? The last htc phone I had didn't, meaning when charging, the LED stayed solid even if there were notifications.
I sincerely hope there's an RGB LED in there or else I'm cancelling my pre-order. Between not having wireless charging, RGB LED and -possible- wobbling while using it on my desk, that's one step too much for me. I really wanted to get it and could live with a couple of quirks but this is one too many.

If it doesn't exhibit the native LED behavior you desire, I highly recommend the app Lightflow. With Lightflow you can get the LED to behave pretty much however you would like it to, though you still won't be able to get it to show colors other than amber and green if HTC hasn't provided an LED capable of other colors.

They haven't, and you're probably correct that the HTC 10 won't either, but like ombadboy, I'm hoping it finally does. It --IS-- being touted as the "perfect 10", so you never know. I'm hoping, but not expecting.
An RGB LED would be cool, but I wouldn't suspect it being there. I haven't had an RGB LED since my Blackberry. It was nice being able to set custom colors and patterns for different contacts. I've found custom vibration patterns to fill the void. but that doesn't help with true silent mode.
At least we'll be able to see the damn notification LED this time! The Droid DNA's LED was ok (the one on the back was cool but hard to see) but the decision to put the LED behind 1 out of about 50 tiny holes in the speaker grill on the M8 was awful. It's so small and hard to notice.

I totally understand and agree. A lot of people appreciate seemingly small things like this (big thing to me). I surely hope it has a RGB LED for once.

Over in the megathread, I've seen purple and white happen in the various video reviews, so I'm gonna say that the twitter is wrong on this one.
The evidence so far points to yes, finally HTC will have an RGB LED

Cheers, while I too would hope it has a RBG one as tbf the green/amber combo is crap especially as it doesn't change when your charging and get a notification but the only thing that would stop me buying the 10 is poor battery life

It doesn't have RGB. See my post up thread.
As for changing color when charging, I'd recommend using LightFlow. I believe even the free version will let you set the color to, say, amber while charging, and then green when fully charged. (I have the paid version, so I can't say for certain that the free version allows this, but I think it does. The paid version definitely does, at least on the One M8.)
HTCs signature, green and orange LED. Lol

Don't know if you guys realize this, but the Desire 626s and A9 (and the 10) all have RGB LEDs. Whether or not HTC is using them as such is a different story, but they are.

Forgive my ignorance, but does this mean that if, by some chance, the HTC 10 also includes an RGB LED that a program like LightFlow may be able to make use of the RGB capabilities it possesses?
I'm going to get in touch with the LightFlow developer, to ask him what he knows about how his product functions on the Desire 626 and A9.
Thanks for that great tip!

I don't know how Light Flow works, but maybe it can take advantage of it? I guess the dev would know better than me....
I recently received a refurbished Pixel XL from Google (warranty). The night light mode seems very orange and dark compared to my old one. Is this how it is supposed to be?
No.
The only time I've seen my night light orange was on a custom ROM that I guess had it miscalibrated or using the wrong driver.
Have you tried wiping and updating to the latest firmware yet?
I factory reset and it's up to date. Looks like it's going back.

What is your brightness set at. I can make mine look like that if I turn the brightness down to 25 percent or so. Once my brightness is up to 60 percent or so it looks exactly like the images of it I can find on the web.
It looks different because the camera is not able to pick up the proper exposure, I think its the same as ours. The mode is pretty yellowish/orangish indeed.

That is exactly how mine looks. There is nothing wrong with your device. If you don't like the way it looks perhaps you best not use it. I only use it for notifications at night and not for reading. It's just too dark to read an article. So it looks like your first return was a waste of time since it's not going to change no matter how many times you RMA the device.

Orange Night Light
Has anyone found a solution to this yet besides sending it back, mine had the same issue and the next one they send me was the same way.
Enabling sRGB mode in Developer Options makes Night Light look much less orange on my Pixel XL.
In Android O it gives the option to control the amount of tint you want. On my replacement pixel, the tint isn't as strong as my first one.
Just chiming in, It looks VERY orange to me.
oddly enough after seeing this thread i got three pixels together (from my friends) two XL's and one small to compare them.
The smaller pixel did have a very heavy orange glow compared to both the XL's, but no where close to this.
I have an RMA XL I'm not keeping and sending back, orangeness is identical to my current XL.
Howdy y'all, just to chime in on this for those who are still interested/find this via a search:
I first noticed this on my dad's refurbished xl some time ago, because mine (got it back when the phone first launched) didn't look anything like that.
Just today I got a refurbished xl from Google, and it has the same very orange nightlight.
So it seems that the refurbished ones have this problem, not sure why perhaps hardware issue?
As mentioned, a fix is to enable sRGB in dev option as that makes it look more Amber like it's supposed to, or just turn the nightlight intensity down.
Mainly though I'm curious what is up with this and why the refurbs are different?

Hello guys,
Well it's all in the title... my AOD turns green, and also when I charge my phone.
I just made a clean wipe and flashed a boot image and clean os 4 V2.1. This is the only issue everything else works well.
Any help appreciated, thanks in advance !
Is that the only thing effected?
If so I wouldn't worry about it, green is more visible to the human eye anyway.
If no one else has it, you could reflash to the same version, a minor firmware corruption.
If it persists after the reflash it may indicate a hardware failure. One or two of the millions of semiconductors may have failed.
If that's all that's effected... I wouldn't sweat it.
If it progresses to new issues then I would be concerned... or if you just hate green

Ahahah thank you for your answer I tried reflashing yes and everything else works fine. But yeah il bothers me because the whole screen turns green/Brown snow (somewhat like old TVs but green and Brown instead of Black and White) and AOD is not usable at all. I just deactivated it for now and like you told me, i didnt sweat it.

^Sorry to hear this!^
I see you're point. If under warranty have it serviced. The new variable refresh rate displays are failing at a higher rate than they should across the board. Maybe the display or the mobo... if you send it to Samsung, take detailed photos the day you box it up. Double box it securely and insure the box.
I don't trust Samsung and neither should you! Too many stories out there to be just a coincidence. Strikingly you never hear these kind of stories about Canon factory service for cameras...

Maybe I'm too late....I realized this issue a few days ago on my Note 20 Ultra. It received OneUI 5.1 recently and it didn't occur immediately, at least I didn't notice it. What I found out is you must turn OFF "auto brightness" in AOD settings and put it manually on the highest level or one below... then it won't go green(ish). And that part when charging, happens also when the AOD is OFF or when ON and auto brightness ON and it's dark. So basically, the lower brightness levels are the problem.
For now it's just the AOD, but I had some experiences with other Samsung and OnePlus phones generally when you are low in brightness the screen goes green or partial green...so for now it's just AOD on this one and it's still usable when you do like I said above. Cheers
