I noticed that Signal Reception Led is not blinking .
I can see it working sometime and sometimes not.
It is also same for bluetooth led. When I turn bluetooth on, blue led doesnt blink.
Is this hardware issue or software probkem? Can anyone help?
I dont think it has this function (the last device has this function if i'm not mistaken is htc tytn [hermes] ). Its only for notification like new sms, etc. like circle LED light on touch pro (raphael)
Light only flashes when it's told now. Doesn't flash for reception any more. For the record the TyTNII had it.
Mine flashes when I have a new text message or when GPS is on.
That really sucks...
I had a HTC Touch (elf) before, and it works nice to quickly see if bluetooth is on.
also when battery runs out (less < 5%) it blinks red, but not on this device...
could it be done by a hack? or is it just a dual color led?
thank man. I was worried that there is a problem with my device which I received 3days ago.

There will be flashing amber light when remaining batt level is below 10%.
yeah, it goes blinking orange-like color. but it would be nice if it blinks red when it is nearly empty...
why does they always reject the good features....

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.
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.

that wasnt his issue, he had mistaken the lightsensor for an led.
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!
Hey xda
I've had my Desire Z for about two months now and damn its the best phone i've ever had ! However i noticed something the other night which i would like to ask you about.
I have no green led that blinks every 3 seconds or so at the top where the speaker is. Shouldn't there be that when the phone is having reception ? I noticed this when i was charging my phone.. The older HTC's i've had usually glows orange when charging, but changing to green when its done charging.. But mine just turns off the orange led so theres no led litten up at all
Is this normal for the Desire Z or what does your DZ do ?
I have a G2, the charging LED goes from orange to green when it is above 80% (I think), but it isn't used at all outside of charging.
the green LED blinks when you have messages waiting or emails etc. as well as full charge indicator.
It really depends on how you've set your notifications up.

Is there somewhere i can change if the Green LED should be on or not ? Or maybe test it .. Because i never see this Green LED on.. When charging is done the orange led just turns off and no led is litten.. The same goes for when theres reception and i have a message.. The Green LED is not blinking at all
definitely sounds faulty to me. The only app I have ever heard rave reviews about is LEDme. Give that a try to configure the notification blinking. If that doesn't work, dig out your receipt for a return.
EDIT...... As Steviewevie has stated... App is called LED Me Know. My mistake.
The LED doesn't blink for notification unless you use an app (e.g. Led Me Know) or an app that does that for you.
In the stock DZ ROM, the trackpad itself blinks when you get a message, if that setting is switched on, though the blinking is very slow - e.g. every 10 seconds or so.
The LED in the speaker grille should turn green when the battery is fully charged. But when the phone is new there is a "learning" process for the ROM/battery, so that might be why you are not seeing it yet.
If you install the "Led Me Know" app (from the Market), there is a function in there to test out the notifications, so you could set it to use green and then test it from within the app, just to make sure your LED shows green ok.
The free app "Missed Call for Android 2.X" (there is another version that is just for Android 1.6) works well to change the LED notifications as well as vibrate patterns. I just tried it, and it works for flashing the green LED for a SMS notification.
Or if you only want to test it, download "covedesign dev"

Thanks for all the help guys .. I tried various of your mentioned apps and none of them seems to be able to make my green led glow.. Just wondering if i want a spare or not, since it just a rather small fault.. Do you think they will replace it ? is it enough faulty for them to fix it ?
If its supposed to have a green LED, and the green LED is broken, then I think its justification for a replacement.
Whether it bugs you enough to replace it, that's your decision. The only time I've seen it light up (without changing the settings with the Missed Call app) is when charging is done. So it really doesn't have much use, anyway.

Hi there, I am currently running Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 on my HTC Desire Z and having some issues with the notification led in the speaker:
Why, when battery is nearly flat (under 10%) no LED blinks and if I receive a text the green one keeps blinking unless I reboot the device?
I would like to have the amber LED blinking when battery is dying. I already tried LED ME KNOW but works for a while than stops especially after a reboot.
Thanks in advance.

The blinking LED under 10% is just going to happen. Not sure how you'd change it, as the function is built into the ROM.
The trackpad should still pulse properly when you receive a message though.
Thanks for your reply martonikaj, anyway the speaker led seems to go crazy when battery goes under 10%!
Now, I received a text 15 minutes ago, read but the green light still blinks.
I simply would like to have the amber (or a red) Led blinking to remind me, when I'm not using the phone, that I have to recharge it!
Anyone is experiencing the same issue as me?
EDIT: Seems that someone else has the same problem here, with no answer either:
http: //code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3260
mine's the same way. I have a consistent green speaker LED blinking under 10%.
I just never really get under 10% that often so it doesn't really bug me.

I realize that the green led doesn't blink to advise you that your battery is nearly dead but simply because, after reading a text or other notification, the device cannot "get rid" of the green light. In fact if you reboot the phone it goes away and doesn't show up unless you receive another notification.

Well its not that it cant get rid of it, its that the system tells it to blink the LED lower than 10%, and that's overlapped by the fact that the notification also blinks the LED green. So after the notification LED pulse is gone, it just continues because the system picks up where the notification left off.
Either way, yes, its a bug.

Not in my case. If I don't receive any notification the green LED doesn't blink, even under 10%.

You are 100% right! As far as I know it hasn't been solved yet. CM 7.1 RC still have this problem.
