    it just said for the OLED version. Does it not apply to the LCD version? I am trying to find it, but I’m having no luck.

      The OLED has an upgraded led that can do different colors and brightnesses. I don’t know if the mono-color LCD led can change brightness, but I imagine it can’t.

        Ahhh I see. I didn’t know that. I think I was just hoping for a solution to dim the normal white charging indicator.

        thanks very much for the reply.

          This is a problem with a ton of electronics nowadays, and unfortunately the general solution is pretty low tech – just tape over it or they sell specialized stickers for this too.

      I think the LED brightness control is OLED only per the document. But I could be wrong.

    Oh nice, I think I was seeing the WiFi failing to connect bug on my devices. It was an easy enough solution when it happened, but the stability will be nice.
