Notification LED and Navigation leds..So disappointed

[batfink1]

God, I'm still using my Oneplus 3t, The Oneplus 5 is sitting in its box.
I couldn't be more let down by the Notification led that they should have called the "I CAN BARELY SEE IT LED"
And the dim blue navigation button lights are so dim compared to the Oneplus 3t white ones as well.

Seriously, It has one job...To NOTIFY...what was the point of making it so dim you can't see it in a lit room unless the phone is in your hand.

I've tried Custom Firmware (Resurrection Remix), I've tried Light Flow...Nothing ...That Dim Led is already at 100% and about 1/4 the brightness of the 3t.

Sadly I come from Australia, Not a county Oneplus sells to so no returning for me.
Thats $770 down the drain, I rely heavily on the NOTIFICATION LED (If you're reading this Oneplus...Thats NOTIFICATION...as in NOTIFYING..like, being VISIBLE)

It's sad, A notification led is one of the things that really separates us from Iphone users.

Maybe with a firmware update but i doubt it...I have the terrible feeling they're at full brightness...But lets hope

I don't mind the capacitive buttons being dim since I turn off lights anyway. But yeah, the notification LED is pretty dim for whatever reason.

I guess the best option for those who rely on notifications is to turn on Ambient Display.

I actually like the navigation leds being on, I set them to be on as long as the screen is on.

I could live with them, but the notification led... It's like what's next.. A camera that doesn't take pictures, a battery that doesn't charge, a speaker that makes no sound.

It's a NOTIFICATION Led, one job.. To be able to notify you ?*

""A notification led is one of the things that really separates us from Iphone users.""

but having a 3T and a op5 in a box. Apple fan boii much, buying phones every year, what a waste/overconsumption.

 

[batfink1]

Ummm, no... I said I have a Oneplus 5 in a box.

I'm a tad confused by your

A) Obvious hostility towards me.
B) Having two android phones makes me an "Apple fan boii" how

I've actually never owned an Apple anything

Using the ElementalX kernel i increased the brightness of the LED. i would say it is more than adequate for my needs at least. Might be worth a try?

I'm also disappointed by the notification led being so dimm..
But if a kernel can brighten it up, maybe OnePlus can do it too.

 

[batfink1]

I'd rather a custom OS, right now it's running Resurrection Remix Official, but not many kernels seem compatible with it.

And unlike RR on the Oneplus 3t, I don't feel it's very polisher on the Plus 5.... The Vibration is a bit glitchy, it tends to skip some key presses.. I mean if you press a key numerous times in a row.. Sometimes you'll get no haptic feedback.

I'm currently exploring other firmwares.

I really miss Xposed Framework ?

I'll let you know how I go.

They're almost unbrickable so I'm pretty gungho about flashing ****.

How did you increase the brighness? According to the commit message, the value in the kernel setting can be set between 1% and 100% brighness level of the stock value, ie no way to increase over stock value. Or am I missing something?

I use EX Kernel Manager. Under Misc. there is a section for Notification LED, fade speed, intensity and fade enable/disable. set my intensity to 9 and all is fine for my needs. On par with my 6P

9 should mean 9% of stock setting, so should be very low.. Must be something I am missing.. ?

It may have been a typo and he meant 90%.
And perhaps stock isn't set to maximum in the first place?

Stock is at 50%, but with light manager you can set to 100% without root or kernel. But that doesn't change enough to make the led good.
