Turn off Flashing LED's

WHen I'm driving my car at night the flashing lights, on my Blue Angel are very off putting.
If it possible to disable the Blue (Blue tooth LED) and Green signal LED, but still have Blue tooth and us the phone?

To turn off the Blue LED from coming on with Bluetooth go to:
1. Hkey_Local_Machine/Drivers/Builtin/BWLEDMGR
1a. Change the Index value below it to "0" it is currently set to "1
Soft Reset and the Blue LED will not turn on.
Here is a revised procedure for turning the Green LED off. Cabrio came up with this.
2. To keep the Green LED from flashing or coming on at all go to
Hkey_Local_Machine/Drivers/Builtin/NLEDMGR leave the dll name as NLEDMgr.dll
2a. Change the Index value below it to "0" it is currently set to "1".
This seems to completely shut off the LED and keeps it from getting called up.
Make sure you soft reset after making the reg. change.
Do this at your own risk.

I am working on a proggie that will allow you to turn off the LEDs at will, and also turn them back on.
Stay tuned...

OMG the *flashing* is so annoying.
It can be on or off (I dont care) just wtf does it have to flash?

Agreed in the strongest way. LEDs as OEM have delivered the device are terrible. I don't like to sleep with a police car in my room! LED should be entirely user conifigurable as to what solid or blinking means or if they are used at all. The registry changes above seem to work fine for me. It would be ineresting to know what other values for these registry entries do (if anything)

Any new info on this subject?
The only ones who like it in my house are my cats, and i like me sleep to much to let it continue

Yes if you change the Registery Settings, as described above it all works :lol:

One solution:
Use tweaks2k2.Best software having abt 92 safe and reliable registry tweaks.It has the option of turning on/off leds,also increasing the keyboard light time :lol:

thanks! you forgot to mention the link to the program
www.tweaks2k2.com/downloads.htm
Version 3.6.0 released today includes part of the trick for HTC Magician.

hey happygoat, hows ur program coming along?

Actually this technique listed (registry hack) only partially works.
I noticed to my rather large annoyance that it started flashing again while I was sleeping. There are other times when its start flashing as well, eg if you disconnect ActiveSync in progress.

This is unbelievable! Removing the LEDs cut my time to connect to the WLAN from turn on in half, from 12 to 6 seconds! Most of it seems to be that it starts connection attempts almost at once. Also the range is improved! Anybody know how this is possible?

has anyone tested the battery life? :wink:

Not me. That's not one of my concerns. But I can say that the unit is also a lot more responsive when turned on. It has annoyed me that the first 5-10 seconds I couldn't do much with it. Now it's ready for use at once! This one is the best tweak I have seen so far.

I definately think its coincidence. Anyway its easy to test, just change the registry back and do a timed test.

I wish i could... I can get the GPRS LED light up again, but the BT LED is dead no matter what I do. Anyway, I did at least 20 tests two days ago (before I changed the LED thing yesterday, because of another thread I started here about long connection times), and it was around 12 seconds every time. Now it's around 6 every time, and I haven't made any other changes to the unit.

For the love of god how do I turn this flashing light off???
The registry hacks dont work well enough, the right green LED still flashes in certain cases

I believe that you are talking about Notifications. Well, that's a LED that works different. It's easy to turn off but it will go on the next time you have any notification event. BTW, I believe that in Sounds and Notifications in settings you can turn off this LED in some events.
I could give you a little program that I did form my internal use so you can check what I'm talking about (Notification LED going ON in any notification event no matter if it has been turned off by any other external program).

There is no place in notifications to turn off the flashing LED. Although I think u are right about it being the problem...

This works in my hx4700, but I don't know if this is what you are asking for.

change color of LEDs?

Hi guys,
is it possible to change the color of the LEDs?
My intention: Normally the LED glows green, when I missed a call or something like that it glows orange and when the accu is nearly empty it glows dark red.
Often I see the green LED in the corner of my eye and think it's orange - although I know that it's not.
So: Is it possible to change the color of the normal alarm LED into dark red? I tried no2chem_nueLED but it doesn't show the dark red LED.. :-/
Thanks in advance!

sorry to hijack the thread but is there a way to stop the led flashing all the time? the led next to the internet explorer button is constantly flashing green

hey,
Yeah I've been trying to figure out if there's a way as well. The same thing happens to me all the time. Whenever I see the green light from the corner of my eye I think it's orange too .
Anyone willing to shed some light on this?
@HungryHippo
The green lights indicate that your phone is currently connected to the Phone Network... it doesn't flash when you're out of ranch.. I don't know how to turn it off other than putting your phone in Flight Mode..

Hi there...
I think this thread is in the wrong place but ill still help
Use a regestry editor to change the leds
Disable flashing service LEDs
[HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\AllLEDMgr]
By doing this It WILL dissable the phone from vibrating!
As for changing the LED's colour I dont know how to but I will have a look!
Use the wiki as it is your friend!

How do you get the thing to be ON? The Green light used to be on when on charge......sadly I haven't seen the light ON now for the last 2 weeks despite it being on charge and does charge too?
Do I need to use the same registry hack to get the light to come ON?

Weird ... the same thing happens to me, too! I thought it was my aging eyes ... though I KNOW I'm not color-blind. But yes, when seen with only peripheral vision, it often appears to be the amber color. Very strange perceptual event here.

u could try using the nueled software in the dev and hacking forum not sure if it works like it should tried it once but u can always try it

yeh, nueLED has your best options...here's the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371391

The reason your peripheral vision sees a different colour is that the LED isn't actually one LED - it's two. Probably red and yellow. This allows it to display
3 different colours, ie.
R = Red
Y = Yellow
R+Y = Green.
The R+Y is probably created by high-speed alternating between red and yellow. Your peripheral vision detects one colour only, probably because there are far less colour receptors at the side of your visual cortex than near the centre and they only register the one colour. As soon as you look directly at it, more rods/cones come into play and your brain then interprets what it's seeing as the blended colour, green.
The above isn't exactly correct, but it's close enough so you get the idea....

Amber
Hi!
I have another problem/request. Since I am not with my phone all the time I would like the Amber LED to flash if I have a missed call for indefinite time (until I check the calls) and not only for a limited period (and then changing back to green). It was already implemented in TNT6.0 SE ROM.
Is there only a question of some registry change (and which)?

If you go to settings>sounds&notifications>notifications>Phone:missed calls
You can change the Flash Light For value to NO LIMIT. Default is 15 mins.
Hope this helps

Sure it helps.

yeah... nueLED doesn't work on my hermes. It doesn't give me the address of the red LED...

But the LED light does not light up AT ALL?
Has the LED blown?.....Didn't think thta was possible since its not a Bulb?

green indicator light on tp2?

I'm just wondering why I haven't seen the green indicator light on my new HTC Touch Pro 2? ...
The orange one for low battery status is working perfectly but the green flashing one which should be activated if a new sms arrived or a call hasn't been answerd isn't ? ...
Is there a way to check if the green light is damaged or does someone experience the same - that it is just not working?

OK, There isn't a green "ok" light for the TP2. Have a search for "light" in this forum, theres another thread on it somewhere.

sorry ... but according to HTC manual:
http://member.america.htc.com/download/web_materials/Manual/HTC_Touch_Pro2/090429_Rhodium_HTC_WWE_UM.pdf
on page 25 it is written:
* The Notification LED shows a:
Flashing green light when there are new SMS, MMS or e-mail messages, missed calls, or reminders.
Solid green light when the device is connected to the power adapter or a computer and the battery is fully charged.
Solid amber light when the battery is being charged.
Flashing amber light when the remaining battery level reaches below 10%.
do you agree ?

The green indicator on my Pro 2 works fine.
I don't think you went into the right settings.
You need to go into TF3D Settings tab > All Settings > Personal > Sound & Notifications. Make sure you tick 'Notifications (Alarms, Reminders)'
If that doesn't work try performing a hard reset.

So it doesn't blink green to indicate we're in service area... unlike my old TyTn2 and most other phones including my wife's blackberry which blinks green to indicate we have signal coverage.
Any hack to change the settings? Pretty useful if we're in a rural area and need to quickly see if we have coverage or not without turning the phone on.
example:
blinking green to indicate signal coverage
blinking amber for missed calls, message etc.

Anyone know what it means when it the lights flash orange-green or amber-green?

Red-Green alternating?

. . I'm right now using Internet Sharing in a laptop connected to my Tilt2 (TP2 from AT&T) using the EnergyRom. It was solid green, because it is plugged and the battery is full--which is ok and expected.
. . Some minutes ago it started to blink in a unknown pattern, like: "quick green, quick pause, quick red, long pause. repeat". I think it's the same doubt from jmmmmm above. Anyone knows what it means? It is still plugged, the battery is still 100% and there is no new notifications (I'm not a popular guy: no calls, no messages, no emails, no reminders, alarms... nothing).
. . Thanks.

i really wanna know if theres a hack to this!
im tired of looking at a dull phone that has no status light! i didnt care much about it when i had my Touch Pro cuz the LED took up a lot of juice but since i got the Tilt 2 it shouldnt drain much battery
someone should help us out, would be awesome to find out how to do it

that means it's overheating.. charging produces heat, and so does using wifi, bluetooth, gps, and using the phone itself..
i remember charging the phone on a hot day, and putting the phone on top of my laptop (which gets hot at times), and those lights showed. and the phone was hotter than ever.

the post above is infact correct! I was wondering what it meant for a while, but then one day, I left my phone plugged in in the car, and those lights were freakin out. I just wish I could make it do that when I get an SMS or when Im gettting a phone call

. . Thanks for the tip. In fact, that day I tried the GPS and bluetooth tethering, which rendered my mobile really hot.
. . This should be in some manual or something. I couldn't find any reference for that--and it sounds pretty dangerous to let your phone overheat for long time.

LEDs don't work

The blinking LEDs either side of the speaker don't work.
The one on the right which I believe blinks red to indicate notifications and missed calls have never worked and the green one on the left which shows you have reception has stopped.
As far as I can tell all is as it should be in the settings.

The one on the left of the earpiece is the LED, the right is the light sensor that adjusts your screen brightness. Below is a description of the LED lights straight from the manual that came with my Tilt2.
* The Notification LED shows a:
Flashing green light when there are new SMS, MMS or email messages, missed calls, or reminders.
Solid green light when the device is connected to the power adapter or a computer and the battery is fully charged.
Solid amber light when the battery is being charged.
Flashing amber light when the remaining battery level reaches below 10%.

how many threads in how many device forums till everyone knows thats not an led. it even says light sensor in the manual.

Oops silly me. RTFM.
Thanks for getting back to me.

Tilt 2 LED - Just network signal?

Hello,
I just got a touch pro2 lastweek and I am beating my head trying to figure out what the deal is with the status notification LEDs
I see one to the LEFT of the earpiece/speaker that flashes green every few seconds and then just stops - all the flashing stops. I'm thinking the bliking stops when the phone goes to sleep. So i press the power to wake the phone - but the flashing doesn't come back. I was thinking this is the network/signal indicator but doesn't seem that way.
I see another that's to the RIGHT of the earpiece/speaker that doesn't go on at all.
So no way to tell if the phone is on wifi network or if bluetooth is on (without obviously waking the phone up and checking on screen). I'm looking for a way to see status without touching the phone - like my old HTC TyTn (rest in peace!)

It turns red when you charge you're phone.
It turns green when you are fully charged (with the charger still in)
It blinks green when you have a new message/e-mail/missed call.
It blinks red when you're batterie is almost empty.
That are the basics

thanks! that's about what i seemed to have gathered too... what about that fake light like thing to the right of speaker? never lights up?
and no bluetooth/wan notification ten, right?

thats the light sensor for the screen
adjusts brightness depending on how much light is hitting the phone

That's pretty much exactly it. There is a program floating around that allows you to change the light and customize the reason it flashes, but I think it's just fine the way it is .

it also flashed green then the red light really quick when its overheating :O

thanks for the quick replies folks.
I saw that in the manual too - but i never go by the manuals! i can't count how many times my manuals have been wrong about a particular function.
it's a disappointment since the older Tytn was much more friendly about the notifications. but i'll deal with it.
as far as that being a light sensor - i think it makes sense. I'll try trick it to see what I notice. Then I'm guessing it's the proximity sensor that's around the HTC logo? I think I was in the sun when I saw it but there's some sort of sensor around there. I figured that's the light sensor. perhaps not.
Thanks again!
