AW: [Q/A] GENERAL CHAT (post here instead of making a new thread}

I have an xperia ray running the latest Gingerbread 2.3.4 (build .62). And I just noticed that my notification LED lights up white everytime I press any hardware keys (back, home, menu, volume up/down, and power). It will turn on and then turn off after each button press after about 5 seconds. And this is really a rare problem.

I tried flashing fresh official stock firmwares both latest Gingerbread (build .62) and latest ICS (.587) both used official kernel of each ROM. And it didn't solve the problem. I wonder if I can do some tweaking in system to turn the LED off except for notifications. Because I know it should not illuminate on every button press. And I dont want to install any app that turns off the LED because I tried and it gets killed in memory. So it works but not so effective.

So if an app can do it, there must be a tweak or fix, which I havent been able to find after all these weeks (googling, forums, etc). I'm worrying if this is a hardware issue, but it's impossible, because LED works fine. I hope it's a software issue.

Thank you very much before.
this is not a problem or an issue, its normal on stock and stock based roms. it lights up for everyone who has a ray ;)
you can flash cm10 or a cm10 based rom (such as Super Jelly Bean) if you dont want that lightning except for notifications :)

I don't remember being so annoyed by the light of the led when playing with my phone in the dark. And Sony said that the led should not illuminate unless there is a notification, and I still remember the light was never on in white color before. When I turn my volume up or down it always lights up, that's so annoying.

I don't know, man. I'm not sure. Other people said it's normal, sony said it should not illuminate. I have asked Sony again for confirmation. I can't find a tweak or script to turn it off. If you know how (without an app or script), please let me know. I'm just confused why would it light up because it's not a button backlight. I think I'm wrong. But still, I want it off.

Please, we noobs need help from pros after all.

I downloaded blood and glory (NR) recently but the game force close most of the time. :crying:

I am using Xperia Ray on Zelly Cream 2.0 with sirkay's X kernel 587-D :angel:

I OC to 1.21GHz - 806MHz (smartassV2, SIO) for normal use.
For gaming, I use 1.613GHz - 1.018GHz (performance, VR) and I use the ROM's built in RAM booster but somehow Blood and Glory keeps force closing now and then.

So please professional users, give a direct advise here instead of referring to a thread because I have read here and there and i still can't find a solution. I had tried looking for gaming threads here and there but to no avail.

So what I want to know is what is the recommended OC kernel for normal daily use and what about games that are heavy like blood and glory?

Not sure, but you could just make a cwm/TWRP backup of your rom, or you backup your current hw_config.sh and put it in a flashable zip to flash it back if something goes wrong ;)

If u did try different kernels,
Try using static ip address. If it didn't work
Try restting the router(button reset)
Then try again. Its worth a try. :fingers-crossed:

root explorer, copy the apk, go to /system/app and paste it there. change permissions to rw- r-- r-- and reboot to recovery, clear cache and dalvik cache. should work ;)
