Is it possible to change the light colors within the registry, like Bluetooths light makes a nice sexy blue blink, I would like to have that as my SERVICE light instead, I know it must be possible because the lights change when u charge it, etc. So if you have any expierence or ideas on how, post up guys!
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that's probably NOT possible.
My reasoning being that "charging" and "having service" is not a software controlled issue. The main unit itself takes care of that so therefore I doubt there's some magic registry hack to switch them over.
Also since the Windows Mobile 2003 SE operating system is designed for multiple devices, a lot of devices won't have Bluetooth lights and green service lights, so I think this further backs up that it's not controlled by software.
Of course with all things... I could be wrong, but I'm not really holding my breath.
Sorry!

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

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.
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¬ifications>notifications>Phone:missed calls
You can change the Flash Light For value to NO LIMIT. Default is 15 mins.
Hope this helps
Dave
Sure it helps.
Thanks a lot.

Especially since yellow+blue=green.
hmm
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?
How do you turn that darned green flashing light to show that the phone is "ok"? It's honestly so annoying. I'm sure theres some sort of registry tweak out there, but I can't find anything.
Any help? My friend's blackberry all he has to do is go to a simple menu, and turn it off. So simple, why does it gotta be so hard for us Dash users?

This has been asked before and as of now there's not a reg tweak to disable the led light, and you shouldn't go comparing the Dash to a crapberry! we don't hear of a lot of people being bothered by the tiny led light here . Maybe you should get some black nail polish and paint over it!. JK.
First of all. I would like to know, if the LED light can change to different colors other than the Green, orange(?), and red?
If so, is there anyway that I can tweak the led light on the top of the rhodium to turn a certain color when we have a notification waiting? (New Email, Text message, ect.)
i guess the hardware device can't support ....
afaik the LED under that is a standard 3 pin Green/Red LED. The orange is created by combining the two. So no there aren't really any other colour options. Aside from maybe getting greener or redder shades of orange.
There was a great app written for the Kaiser called Kaiser notification that allowed you to change the color of the led for different notifications. I think this is what you are asking about is it not?
I'd love to know how to change the colors for particular notifications!
I'd love to know if there is anyway to DISABLE the green blinking that goes on and on indicating reception.
There was superb app for my old Titan from no2chem... anything similar for our TP2's?

Interesting, my Tilt 2 does NOT blink for reception, bluetooth, or GPS, unlike the original Tilt which blinked incessantly without KaiserNotification set up.
Maybe ROM differences?

2 major things.
Number 1, why the hell are you complaining here, Sony won't read your complaint here, go shove it at them not us.
Number 2. Actually that requires hardware support which may not be implemented on the device. LED brightness cannot actually be safely controlled via normal means, they have a fixed voltage they must run at for prolonged life and as such it is impractical to use voltage manipulation to alter the brightness, current draws are always fixed for a given voltage so thats out the window too. The correct method is PWM, effectively to achieve a half brightness with PWM, it repeatedly turns the LED on or off hundreds of times per second, the human eye cant catch the on/off transition and just sees it as a dimly lit LED, however this requires hardware support and device drivers or device drivers which consume a nasty amount of CPU time to emulate PWM. It is most likely that they dont have it rigged up to PWM.
