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.

trackpad glow

quick question, does htc desire trackpad have any light built in? does it glow like trackball on htc hero for example when txt is received?

There's no trackball to glow!
But there's a notification light on top of the screen to the right of the "htc" logo. It flashes green when there's a notification.

so deffo trackpad doesn't have any notification light built in?
I've read somewhere that it had light under the track pad.
so the notification leds are there, just like hero. But glowing trackball I'm sure will be missed...

instead of looking at trackball (optical track pad in desire) look at the top-right of the screen the trackball might be missed, but not the glowing

I guess they did not include a LED inside the optical trackpad because it would interfere with the detection of the moving finger.

I for one definitely miss the glowing ball on my Hero, much easier to spot from accross the room.

Me too, but then again I also miss the simplistic days of my Nokia 6600 with hyper blue LEDs

Oops, I am sure that I read somewhere (phonearena maybe) that the trackpad does glow.

really annoying the small LED. you just can see it if you are in front of the phone. the light indication would be to easily recognize that you have missed call or whatever.
may be I should look after an application which can blink the screen

Android 2.2 will make the Trackball on the N1 light up different colours for notifications.
shame the desire won't have this.

when charging, the LED is pretty good visible, even from a distance. the biggest problem is, that the LED starts blinking green. That's hardly visible.

it glows
Hey,
just found out that the trackpad has light built under, and it actually indicates if you have missed tweets on twitter application.
But sadly, i can't make it happen to indicate other things (mails, texts, calls).
I found this out by accident (i dont use twitter app) - just spotted interesting option and started googling about it.
Cheers,
Wiktor

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!

[Q] evo second led?

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...

Why do people make stuff up when they don't know the answer?

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.

wonder what its for? any devs out there have a clue or could maybe put it to use...

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.

[Q] Why no LED blinks when battery is dying?

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.
