Does the Desire have Leds? - Desire General

I'm just wondering wether the desire has leds, for notifications.

yes.
{filler}

Okay thanks, is it next to the earpeice, also the optical trackpad have any leds for notifications like the nexus one trackball.

It's just to the right of the HTC logo above the screen. I've never seen the track pad light up on mine.

as foner78 says, top of the screen to the right of the logo.
No, the trackpad does not light up.
Although the thought or a bright red terminator eye does sound kinda cool

Is it able to do diffrent colours (apart from green, orange and red)??? My girlfriend has got an htc magic and the led can make also blue, purple, pink and several others (she had to download a special app from the app 'cause stock android didn't have this option)

not that i know of, no. maybe someone else knows?

[Help] Regarding the LED light on top of phone.

First of all. I would like to know, if the LED light can change to different colors other than the Green, orange(?), and red?
If so, is there anyway that I can tweak the led light on the top of the rhodium to turn a certain color when we have a notification waiting? (New Email, Text message, ect.)
i guess the hardware device can't support ....
afaik the LED under that is a standard 3 pin Green/Red LED. The orange is created by combining the two. So no there aren't really any other colour options. Aside from maybe getting greener or redder shades of orange.
There was a great app written for the Kaiser called Kaiser notification that allowed you to change the color of the led for different notifications. I think this is what you are asking about is it not?
I'd love to know how to change the colors for particular notifications!
I'd love to know if there is anyway to DISABLE the green blinking that goes on and on indicating reception.
There was superb app for my old Titan from no2chem... anything similar for our TP2's?

Interesting, my Tilt 2 does NOT blink for reception, bluetooth, or GPS, unlike the original Tilt which blinked incessantly without KaiserNotification set up.
Maybe ROM differences?

[Q&A]Is there a Notification LED?

Hello!
Does anybody know if there is a notification LED on the Desire? I had previously just assumed that there was.
There is no mention of it in the specifications, but then again, neither the Hero or the Magic have this mentioned. When looking at the pictures of the Desire http://www.htc.com/uploadedImages/WWW/Press_Room/Product_Photo_Gallery/HTC_Desire/Download_01.jpg I do not see anything that resembles of a notification LED. The only place would be in the optical touchpad, but I am not sure.
What do you think?

Ah, excellent. As long as there is a LED I am happy
You can't see the LED on pictures of the Nexus One either, as it is invisible when it is not lit. (It's in the upper right corner between the earpiece and the screen. Nice design choice in my opinion. Probably similar setup on the Desire.
It looks similar to the Blackberry LED's. They're not visible when not lit but are when lit, sort of under the outer casing.
the notification led is the same led as charging 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

[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.

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.

Light flow, anyone get it working?

Hi everyone, hope everyone is enjoying their phone, I'm loving it.
Anyone get the light flow app working for the notification leds? I installed it, but as soon as I do the green led starts flashing for nothing, had no missed calls etc. Only when I uninstalled it, it stopped.
I need it as the inbuilt one only flashes for a short time. I'm stock not rooted. Thanks alot

Everything that i've read suggests that lightflow wont work because the LED in the One X is not capable of emulating any colour, only those that it was designed for.
Oh that's a bit disappointing, I don't even mind the stock green light, just wish it would flash till I stop it. Not flashing long enough for me. Thanks.

Did anyone find a solution to the green blinking issue?
Light Flow does actually work for me in the way I want it to (even though the LED can only do red and green). In root mode with direct access, I can do things like made sure that the light stays on steady green if I have a text message waiting, instead of blinking. It's also lets me customise the vibrations, so it's very useful.
BUT it has this annoying "bug" of blinking the light green for no reason.
