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

Sure it helps.
Thanks a lot.

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?
My very first phone was a old Samsung that had a bright blue LED that flashed letting me know I had a new text message or voicemail or missed call etc. (You could see that thing flashing a mile away)
That is one feature I really miss because I often leave my phone sitting on my desk that Im not around very much and repeating notification tones are out of the question.
Is there a way to use the service LED's as notification lights?
I will PM you a link to get a good one... Just check your messages...

This is a fine program.
This program is cool. Thanks. Only problem is the flashing LED alert is too much like the phone service LED. Its stuck in my brain that slow flashing green light is meaningless. Any way to make it use the different colored LED's ??

I know.. I'd like to see the low battery light and the bluetooth light flash alternating.
I think that is possible but I think you might have to edit some registry for that to occur...
what colors are all there? blue, green and orange? or are they multicolor led?

You can stop flashing the green light.
Only when you have a message.

I know that if you use a DontForget with PPC you get the choice of colour of LED "from reading there website" but not sure if possible on SP?
May be worth asking in general forum if anyone knows the reg settings needed?
This is not possible to manage LED (only blinking / off) on HTC s620.

That might work. Didn't think about that.
I still think it would be really cool if we could figure out how to get all the colors to flash or cycle through a patten.
I will try to look into it and see how it goes.
Anyone know what second led located on the right side of the speaker on the evo is for? I never actually seen it used. I know the main one notify you when you missed a call, have email, text, ect... But what is second one for? Only reason I know is there is before 2.2 I would use a led/flash light app and whenever I would switch it on I would see the led blink green briefly. I also noticed that my wife's hero seem to have a second led which you can also see located to right. Anyone have a clue?
It's a dull red LED and on the right side, not as bright as the left side Green is when it is fully charged for example.
No idea what it is for, but I have the sinking feeling in my stomach that I know what it is for...
Yea, my Evo has it turn on red when charging
I've searched everywhere for what it actually means, but haven't found anything for the Evo.
There seems to be the orange one while it is charging, and if it completely dead and won't turn on, and maybe if there is some sort of error, then it blinks red.
I think I recall it flashing when my evo decided the battery temp was too high to let it charge.

On the Hero, its the light sensor. No idea on the Evo though. I don't even see it...

Left is for charging (orange,green), notifications (green), low battery (orange), and overheating (orange and green flashing). Right is the wimax LED but we don't know what causes it to turn on or off. I've seen it briefly flash once.
Perhaps since don't have 4g in my area won't be able test it. Like said in my first post I saw it go off when using an led/flash light app and it was green.
i always thought it would turn on when you were connected to 4g...
Just tested and it doesn't turn on when 4g is connected.

I recently installed CM 6.1 w/Handscent and the second LED on the right side of the speaker grill now lights up whenever i receive a notification. It is a different shade of green than the LED on the left. It has a 5 off 1 on cycle. I actually cant find any settings for it anywhere on my phone.
Also I cant get the original LED to light up for notifications.
Its the "WiMax" LED. Actually 2 LEDs, a green and a red, which can both be enabled at the same time to make orange. By default, it never seems to light up even with 4G on.

yeah when the battery temp is to high it flashes on the left side..but the right side seems to be for notifications as well....based off the MIUI Rom it blinks when i get a noticfication...no idea if its for just texts or what, but i know when i get a text the green led on the RIGHT blinks..not the left one..at least not on the rom im running..could be different i know on all sense roms it never worked..
anyone if the led on the RIGHT can change colors or anyother function?
This. It never seemed to do anything and a lot of people didn't know it was even there. Then someone took advantage of it and used it for notifications and now it is in CM6. Original thread somewhere in themes apps section.

Perfect answer.^^
Look up WiMax notifier if you want to control it.
or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=746732<-- Go there.
The app didn't work on my CM6, but CM6.1 has control for that LED built in.
yeah i noticed this too, on CM6.1 it blinks a darker green than the left.
Id like my trackpad to be constantly lit if I have a notification, instead of the fade in and fade out.
Would I have to edit lights.vision?

I like this idea. Going from my Nexus One to the G2, that's one thing I miss the most...even though the N1 flashed its trackball, it was much easier to see when I had a notification from across the room. With the G2, the trackpad light is so dim as it is, and when it flashes once ever couple seconds, its barely noticeable. If I had an option to keep it on, I'm sure it would help to get my attention.
Download LED me from the market and then when your in the setting for the duration go to custom and then hit OK which should make it stay lit when you have a notification. I don't have it installed so those instructions might not be exactly "followable"

Couldn't find LED me, but there is an app LED Me Know Beta, same thing?
UPDATE: Tried the app...this actually manipulates the tiny LED light under the speaker grill of the G2. The OP and I were talking about the light surrounding the trackpad of the G2. Thanks though.
Check compatability in settings, then under the notifications tab choose whatever notification you are setting up, then choose led color, then choose trackpad.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I tried LED Me Know, but it seems to drain battery a lot. Did anyone experience this?
LED Me Know does allow you to light up the trackpad. Go into the Notifications tab, then go into the specific app you want to notify you. Under LED color, choose TrackPad. You can make it blink or not, choose the rate it blinks, and choose whether to turn if off when the screen is on. The color is the only thing that you have no choice about because it's only a white light.
I love this app. Works very well on my G2. I haven't compared the battery life with/without it yet though. But turning the indicator's off when you turn the screen on would probably help. I really hope it isn't a huge battery drain. That would be a deal breaker.
Why the heck is Android so allergic to persistent popups anyway? Every old school phone in the world is in your face when you get a call/sms/email/voicemail/chat. But it's like pulling teeth to get the Android to yell at you when you have an alert.
