Flashing LEDs

Hi there
A bit of a dumb question, I guess, but be nice. This is my first time on here, and I have only had my Qtek 9090 for just under 24 hours, so here goes.
I have it linked to Bluetooth, so the left hand LED is flashing blue when it is connected. The right hand LED is a bit of a mystery to me, I am afraid. At times it flashes red, and at times it flashes green, and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why it would do either. :shock:
Anyone who can put me straight would really be helping me. Do not want to appear like a damsel in distress, but just want to know what the different colours are representing.
Many thanks
Sarah-Jane

Lights on the right are for the phone - Green is good you have reception Red is either battery is flat or you have no reception Please take some time to visit this post by clicking here

Green is normal signal
red is "alert" as : missed call, sms received, battery low,... Can be set in Sounds & notifications 'at least in my qtek 2020)
Amber/orange : charging
RTFM ?

And Purple Means your Colour Blind

About the green LED : I put the thing on my nightstand when I go to bed ... its flashing is kinda disturbing . Is there a way to disable the green LED (without switching the phone part off) ?

Yes there is, but you'll have to temper with the registry of your device under your own responsibility. I tried it on my PDA2k and it worked fine.
1. Use a registry editor (Rsco Explorer has onebuilt in) and go to the following key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Drivers/BuiltIn/NLEDMgr
2. change the Index decimal value from 1 to 0
3. Reset your device (soft reset)
Hope this helps!

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.

No amber flash light blinking on missed call

Little flashing light at the speaker does not blink amber on missed calls, however it blinks on text message. I have proper settings for light flashing selected. Does anyone have the same issue? It used to work ok before, I've noticed that for a first time with one of LVSW's release, and now the same with official Dopod WM6.

Rather weird... I've never seen it happen before. Sorry
Cheers.

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.
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?

prob with notification LED - now works

I
sorry my ing., but i have a prob with my notification LED's.
i dont no what i do but i only have the red led notification, when i plug de AC power to charge.
the outher LED's dont do anything.
there is anithing to resolve this???
tks

What other LED's? There is only 1 led. It is red when charging or green when fully charged. Or green blinking for mail or sms or missed call. The little plastic on the other side is your light sensor.

yes, yes. that's my prob.
i only have the red when charging or green when fully charged.
i dont have the green blinking for mail or sms or missed call, etc.

I have the same problem: When charging, no blinking.

my led is not blinking too for mail or sms received or missed call

Hello
I found the solution to my problem.
after seeing what went wrong and where. I came to the conclusion that for some reason I got the option: flash light for ... = Disable.
all you had to do was go to:
- Settings
- Sounds and notifications
- Notifications
- Event (events with an option for flash light, put enable)
I hope I have helped.

thanks
exactly what I am looking for!
thanx for the tip!

This was already set at my TP2.
But when charging, it doesn't start to blink, it stays burning.

Well, ronh!
Now I have the LED notifications working.
It was enough, but in your case, I think, only just by changing a key in the registry or with a hard reset to see if everything returns to normal.

Indeed. the led charging is prior to led notification. So no notification when charging. Maybe someone knows a reghack for this?

Any hack to change the LED settings?
example:
blinking green to indicate signal coverage
blinking amber for missed calls, message etc.
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.

Did anyone find a solution for this problem? My TP2 has no notification LED when it's charging.
It's driving me crazy. I never know if I have Email until I unplug the TP2. My Treo blinked like mad, plugged in or not.
