Grrrr!!

I still don't get these light effects. The call light works just fine and shows up the color I want when I receive a text/call.

The theme light effects seem to follow the theme I guess however it keeps wanting to revert back to the Sony Ericsson green color which i HATE

. I keep having to re-apply my theme.

I just don't get what it is doing or how it works. Anyone figure out what exactly controls the light color?

THanks

Download my Theme Creator from www.lasyk.net and open your theme with it. You can select the illumination color in the theme, then save it, and reload it onto your phone. It will stay the color that you choose.

Are you using a theme that came on your phone?

EDIT: No, i'm using custom themes that I downloaded from the internet. They have a blue-ish illumination

I'll have to try that. Though the problem I'm having is when I use the walkman function, the light effect turns to green which I can live with, but THEN when i close walkman and go back to regular menus, etc it stays green. I don't get it.

As long as I don't go to walkman, it stays the theme color. Will that layout edit still fix this?

i think the light is just buggy... try to go thru the sub menu then go bak to main screen and it should change bak to the blue...

Unfortunately that doesn't work. The only way to get my illumination color back is to re-apply the theme each and every time after using the Walkman player.

I've read that this might be a bug in the latest firmware R8BA024. I'm still waiting on a confirmation of that.

If you have a W580i with R8BA024, these steps should duplicate the bug:

1) Set a non-flash theme with a color other than the Walkman greenish-yellow
2) Verify that when you slide open and close the phone, the side light color remains
3) Slide Open phone
3) Press the walkman button
4) Verify the side lights change to greenish-yellow
5) Exit Walkman player
6) Light will return to theme color
7) Slide phone closed
8) Side light will change to greenish-yellow and will remain so unless you re-apply your custom theme
9) Get RED with frustration because this bug is so annoying

Also, this is extra annoying if you have the W580i grey which has a nice cool blue key illumination. The greenish-yellow looks horrible with the cool blue color. Not so bad on the W580i white I would imagine.

You're right, it's the firmware. I've had this problem also before I debranded it.
I'm using R6BC002 firmware and it doesn't have this bug.

Another good reason to debrand

except that I did debrand and I have this problem. I have the newer R8BA024 firmware though. I guess I could flash down to R6BC002 to fix it. *sigh*
