Will it work as notification light for other apps too?

Not quite sure what it is supposed to do. There is a cut out for the front led notification light but apart from when you double tap the screen or close it there is no light in standby. Also the cover itself does not have a light but a clear plastic ring which refracts the light from the screen, it looks ok but you can't customize the colour or anything. It is just white.
Edit: and whilst the cover has been on my phone I have noticed reduced battery. The rear cover is a different material to the original cover, it is a ridged plastic. It feels OK but not as nice as the normal rear cover.
The lighting on the circle case is fake, it is just a piece of clear plastic reflecting the LCD.
The LCD animate a ring around the clock when you close the cover. I haven't find any app to change the lighting yet, I hope one will come out soon.
As a side note to anyone wanting to get one.
If you get a Glass protector, I couldn't get the cover to magnetically close, it seems the extra mm from the glass is preventing this.
Anyone got a plastic screen protector, can you confirm the cover can magnetically close?

Purpose of this thread
Just wanted to share my pics (at Bottom) and helpful tips for any first time doers to customizing...or have a place where you can ask questions some noobs might think are stupid but it's cool that what this is for
Obviously i'm not responsable for anything that YOU do TO YOUR phone ...just a disclaimer just incase...obviously this is not rocket science but better safe ...and OBviously Not responsible for the Sellers on ebay...and what they do. Your actions are your own...thanks now that's clear ...we move on.
Ok so i had a black t989d samsung galaxy S II from telus
I bought a white vinyl decal and a white battery door of ebay.
Ebay links of the ones i bought (links may expire over time)
White Door : http://www.ebay.ca/itm/OEM-BATTERY-...785829?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item35b9c24ee5
White vinyl decal (basically like a sticker but it will not leave marks or glue on you screen so it's safe)
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/White-Vinyl-...495791?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item19cd79d3ef
Tips :to applying the vinly on the front
i would recommend buying 2 vinyls just to be safe or mess up sticking it properly...the stickness is best the first time/ second time
Clean your phone first -microfibre clothes are best...like those tiny cloth sheets that comes with sunglasses
I say second time only if you didn't press down firmly on it to make it stick if you just gentle drop on using mainly the weight of the sticker itself it cool to remove it and re-adjust 2 maybe 3 times
Obviously remove the holes for the camera and hearing speaker
Use the bezel, the silver frame that goes around the sides of your phone to guide yourself to being straight
APPLYING:
The way i apply it is holding the top Thick / fat part (front facing camera ) on edges (so it doesn't stick to my fingers) with first finger and thumb rougly around the centre same thing with the bottom part with the 4 android buttons (both hands being above the sticky part not below)
then use my middle fingers to push the lines along the frame to make them come straight....more importantly trying to line up the bottom so the lights light up the drawings on the stick for the 4 button it won't come perfect which is ok but the light should be really close to it if you line up the bottom with the silver frame
Note for the camera part there's an outline sticker that goes around the camera piece as well ...for that remove the battery door is makes it easier
What my black phone looks like after:
Front and back image - Pic 1 and 2
Battery door / camera piece can be seen- Pic 3
LED light 4 buttons - Pic 4

Umm sure but the screen protector should ideally, either cover the entire front including the top, like around the front camera etc...or be the same size or smaller then the rectangle that fits inside the frame of the white vinyl ...only because it will have a weird little raised outline underneath of the protector...if you don't mind that then yeah should be fine...hopefully that makes sense what i said and it's not confusing LOL (PS unfortuantely it doesn't come a protector for the screen)
an alternative...just an opinion ... would be you could get another screen protector (i know a lil more costly) then remove the old one...place the white vinyl on the phone take the new protector (without pealing the back thingy that protectors the stickness) place on top of the phone trace with a marker (on the side that peals away of course)cut the outline with an exacto (X-acto) knife *after tracing, take it of the phone to use the exacto lol just saying to be safe...never know people may try exacto on top of their phone LOL *
Hope that helps...feel free to ask any other questions
Looking for a front vinyl without the four android buttons printed on. Just clear black, white, or carbon. Does anyone know where to get one for the T989? Thanks.

yeahh that is a bit tricky but if you look closely i'm not exactly on the light i'm slightly off ...it's nearly impossible to get it dead on 100% but if the light falls under to light up the printed button it should be good enough....i actually mainly focused on the framing the whole as straight as possible using the bezel (silver frame of the phone) as the guide...the button should line up roughly 95% if you get it straight frame on frame... if it helps my top corners both left and right have a lil black space showing (around the curves) you can't even see it really....it cuz i focused on making sure my front camera and senors were not covered and then lined everything up downwards.....hopefully this makes some sense...LOL
wow nice job looks just like my white SGS2
How does the back housing feel on this? Looks really shiny & perhaps isn't similar to the original.

This doesn't pertain to how well they hold up but I did have one on my phone for maybe a month or more then I decided I was tired of the white lol.now I'm thinking I may get another just to get a different look again lol.
Oops!!!!! Did samsung forget to put a hole where the notification led is? Why funny you should ask that. It sure seems like they did.Here is an easy way to fix that annoying little oversight. All you need is:
A drill
A 3/32 drill bit
A single edge razor blade
A pen
Some patience
The led to the left of the speaker is the notification led.Simply measure across the distance to the middle of the led light. Make a dot on the front of the case. Drill slowly through the front first, then you can bounce to the back.Do that a few times then I used just the drill bit by hand and a single edge razor blade to clean it up. Lastly put the pen through the hole several times in front and back to make sure the hole is perfect. I also pushed lightly with the pen while turning it, to make sure the case was completely flat again on both sides. Now enjoy your flip case the way it should of been in the first place. .
I didn't know if I should post this in general or accessories so mods if I put it in the wrong place I apologize and feel free to move it.
Thanks

Yeah, seems EVERYONE forgot. It is driving me crazy! I got a cheap cover for a start and was going to exactly that. Don't have a drill, but will have to improvise, starting with your method unless I can borrow a leather-belt-hole-puncher (those might be faster and give a cleaner hole).
Samsung should pay attention to its own features and learn how to do it properly. I expect other cases to have sloppy usability design, but not theirs.
I was going to do the exact same thing with the free one I will be receiving in a couple weeks. Glad to know it works.
Actually enjoy not having the hole in the flip cover. I usually forget to turn off led notification before I go to bed. The light blinking will wake up my wife.

Blocking mode will allow you to set times when specific notifications are disabled. I block all led and sound notifications between 11pm and 7am, but allow phone calls and alarms during this period.
I did this and it looks badass. Thanks op

That's a really cool idea!! It was one of the first things that I noticed was missing on the case. However after having the caee for almost 2 months now I am finding that the edges are peeling and I may just switch to another case.

Thanks for the mod.
Will try it soon.
Going to have to carefully measure the hole placement.
What a cool idea! Once my free flip case arrives ill try this out. Thanks!

I can see where you are coming from on that. In my case, I did the mod more so to be able to still see the notification and keep the case closed to keep the note protected at all times. You could always flip it over at night? :thumbup:

Just a thought here, I didn't think of this till just now but you can plug in the note and lay a piece of paper across it and make your mark that way. I just tried it out and the led glows right through the paper. That should leave no room for error if it is done that way.

I think I now know why Samsung (almost almost everyone else) is not adding LED cutouts to the covers. I have had my N7000 for four days now and LED behaviour is very erratic. Sometimes it just stops working completely. Sometimes it doesn't light up even while charging. The hardware test shows that the LED is fine, being definitely a sw issue.
try a hole punch!
I wound up using a paper hole punch. Size of the hole is good to be able to see the light from different angles and doesn't actually look too big at all and it's very clean. Punch through the front first though.
You can't spend enough time working out exactly where to punch though! I marked on the hole punch itself on two sides the position and size the hole and measured, marked and measured again.
The case material is good for punching like this, it's solid.
I imagine a leather punch will be as good or better and allow you to more exactly position the hole, but I didn't have one and I'm impatient
Right so my notification went out due to dirt so I opened my phone and cleaned it out now I have the light showing from 5 holes
So question really is should I leave it or attempt to get it back to normal?
If I do try what do you suggest I do?
Edit, I cleaned it from outside a bit more and the light is much bright than in picture can see light still.
I'm thinking maybe trying to block the others from the outside.

Looks funny...
I had a similar quirk when I switched to hox+ battery.
You basically need to get some black (or very dark) electrical tape and cut it into shape around the led element.
There's also a black plate (glued to the polycarbonate body) that filters the light to shine only through one hole. In your case that might be broken or displaced.
I can upload a pic tomorrow.

Yeah there was some black tape stuff by the power button that was hanging down I just assumed it was just some tape holding the power button on the case.
I'm thinking if I get some black tap and use a pin I could fill in/block off the holes from outside as I'd rather not open it again.
I'm glad I got my light back but I didn't want 5
Edit: for now I have disabled notification light and using button notification. Amen for custom kernel

Ordered this and it came in the other day. For those that don't know it's like a wallet case that covers the screen. It has the smart wake built in. I love it. I use it with lockscreen disabled so when I open the front cover it turns the device on. My only complaint that I have seen with all smart cases I've seen is that it covers the LED notification light. I wish someone would make one with a cutout built in over the notification light. The whole reason for the notification light is to see if you have something waiting for your attention. I modded mine (albeit poorly) to where I can see the light blinking. Would be perfect with a stock cutout. I hate screen protectors, but the wallet case adds that little bit of protection without bulk for drops onto the dreaded uneven surface.
Can you post photos?

I found the screen protection glass to be very weak.a little pressure on the glass touches the display. Is that the case with every phone?
Yes same problem here
Sent from my C6502 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I find the touch a bit awkward too, but I guess its the pvc screen protector that Sony puts on it.. feels kinda "soft" when I touch the screen.
And I can see the LCD suffering the pressure, even with a not so strong pressure...
Wasn't that glass supposed to be Dragontail?
I really can't understand why Sony doesn't provide clear information about this. Here in Brazil Sony Support doesn't even know that ZL already comes with a screen protector [shatter protection actually]. And that thing is just so cheap its not even scratch resistant.. so you either have to use 2 films, or remove the original one, risking to void Warranty.
If anything, ive been very impressed with the durability of the screen on this phone. I have dropped it face down NUMEROUS times. At the very least 7 - 8 times. And its held up like a champ. I have a screen protector on top of Sony's pre-fab'd one, and it looks and feels just fine. Only issue is the viewing angles. But thats to be expected with a TFT lcd regardless of protectors.
Also mine doesn't feel awkward to touch. The way you describe it, it's as if you have an air gap between the glass and touch panel. I don't seem to have that at all. Its as if the image is pasted to the back of the glass, the way its supposed to. I do have a gap between the back panel and battery. And if I push against the back panel, I can feel it depress and make contact with the battery. But no physical display related issues... so far anyway.
What model do you all have? I see alkesh has a c502. Mine is a C506. Wondering if maybe there is a build quality difference among different models??
