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.

Pro 2 Signal Reception led is not blinking

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....

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.

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.

that wasnt his issue, he had mistaken the lightsensor for an led.

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

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%.

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!
