Questions regarding individual status LED customization on Sony Xperia X

Hello, Sailfishers,

first of all, happy festivities to all.

I'm very new and fresh here, due to the fact, that I gave myself a Sony Xperia X and a SailfishOS license for Christmas, birthday and the upcoming new year. :) After short functional tests under Android, I unlocked the device and loaded SailfishOS. My first impressions, despite of a few shortcomings, is positive and I have a lot of fun.

Now time is coming to configure the device according to my personal needs and of course there are, as expected, some questions that I couldn't get answered through a forum search so far. As one of the first adaptations under the hood, I did adjust the LED status indicators - here are a few related questions that I have:

  1. What functionality is exactly covered by the following pattern configuration definitions:

    • PatternDeviceOn
    • PatternDisplayDimmed
    • PatternCommunication
    • PatternCommonNotification
    • PatternCommunicationAndBatteryFull
    • PatternBatteryChargingFlat

    Is there any documentation around?

  2. If I set a pattern status configuration to ...;500;500;ffffff (blinking white), the displayed color is more magenta than white. Is this the normal behavior?

  3. My understanding of the pattern configuration definition PatternWebcamActive is that the LED should light up when the camera is turned on (front & rear). It doesn't happen on my mobile, absolutely no glow. Have I maybe

    • a comprehension problem, or
    • did I define an incorrect configuration (PatternWebcamActive=20;1;0;2500;500;ff0000), or
    • is there the need to load the camera module first, or
    • is this functionality not available (yet?), or
    • is this a bug?
  4. I want the LED to light up blue when Bluetooth is on. Is there a way to getting this work?

Tx.
