Light colors on phone (pros read)

Bluetooth makes the left light on the blueangel come up blue, wifi makes the left light come up light green. Cellular service makes the right light light green, and when charing makes it dark orange, and when fully charged it turns green. I'm wondering if anyone knew about a little hack that could make the cellular service light "blue" like the bluetooth light. I know it has to be possible... somehow.... ;-)

sure... grab a couple of torx screwdrivers. take the phone appart, unsolder the blue led from the left and graft it back onto the right... presto
Question is... have you got the minerals to pull your phone to pieces :?:
The bigger question is are you crazy enough to take a soldering iron to it :?: :shock:
id think twice... if not three time about it

It's not a very big issue to do such a thing to your phone. I've known people who can take a CPU off a notebook mainboard and afterward put another CPU to that place correctly, all by soldering (by hand, of couse). Can you count how many "legs" the CPU has, and to solder those legs to the mainboard?

No no no, the right service light can make all sorts of colors, I'm just wondering if the other can do the same. Since they are the same lights if I switched them I wouldn't notice a difference because the bluetooth (blue) light can come out Green like the signal light when using wifi, etc.

No i dont think they can produce the same colours. your best chance is to unsolder them and reverse them... or... find somebody that can sell you a replacement with the colours you want. if you do find someone... let me know id be interested!

The Right LED is Tri-Colour and uses Red and Green as its two base colours (Giving Yellow when both on as the third colour). The Left LED uses Blue and Green as it's two base colours but I have never seen them both on a the same time (Which would produce a Cyan colour).
The two LED's are different types containing internally two coloured LED's and the left cannot produce Red and similarly the right cannot produce Blue.
It may be possible to hack when the LED's are illuminated by writing two wrapper DLL's for the BWLEDMgr.dll and the NLEDMgr.dll but this will take some time (I am hoping to get round to this as I am peed off with the right one flashing at night but still need it to indicate missed calls etc)

Did anyone manage to turn off the lights?

[Q] camera led traffic light tripper?

i was wondering if anyone had made an app that would use the evo's dual cam led to trip traffic lights.
i used to have a tool that had 2 high intensity leds that would strobe at diffrent rates in order to trip traffic lights, attached on my motorcycle. it would be nice to be able to do it with my phone so i wouldnt have to get a seprate unit.
i have seen some apps out there that strobe but they use the screen not the leds.

LOL the ol' high beams trick on a phone. Nice idea!

Strobe App
Have you tried MotoTorch LED? That app has an awesome strobe!!

i havent but i will give it a shot. i seen about a thousand apps that strobe but none that take advantage of the dual leds.
the unit that i had set up on my bike had 2 strobes and it would cycle through all the emergancy cycles

that will be nice i seen a app that is a torch a uses the both led with the brightest level and it warns you for got where though

Most MIRT receivers are looking for mainly infrared light, not visible light. This also makes it *painfully* obvious to any traffic or security camera in the area when you are using such a device. I doubt the visible-light LEDs in the EVO have the power to trigger MIRT receivers, but even if they did, you're asking for trouble (and also potentially putting other people at risk) by doing so.

**** it, I want one of these for school.

this sounds illegal, and also a really selfish thing to do- why do you get priority over everyone else sitting in traffic?

Tesla LED does Morse code. Maybe you can set it to flash, "I'm in a bigger hurry than everyone else."
Lol. Seriously though, there was a guy that got in trouble for doing something like that,

If your ride a motorcycle or moped be prepared to sit for a long time at red lights with no traffic around. Most usually run the red light.

There is a legal option as well...
There is a unit that attaches to the bottom of the bike and effectively triggers the traffic light sensor, so the light "Knows" there is a vehicle waiting.
http://www.greenlightstuff.com/trigger.html

The Torch app in Cyanogen has a strobe feature that uses both LEDs...

Hell yea!! It does work Ive used it daily for about a month, well worth it might as use all the great extras I get places alot faster specially during rush hour lol!!

The strobe that changes a traffic light is not just a flashing light; The OPTICOM emitter you see on fire equipment and ambulances must emit 3 signals in sync, the visible light frequency tells the light it is an emergency vehicle, otherwise it will only hold a green light green ( this is for rapid transit they are fitted with filters), then it must flash at 16 hrz as well as emit light at a specific infrared frequency; embedded in the infrared is digital data that allows the light to record the agency and unit number activating the light along with a date and time stamp and the status of all lights and the speed when the vehicle passes through.
Also not all traffic lights are fitted with an OPTICOM receiver, or receivers in all directions. And some municipalities may also program the light to go red in all directions instead of green in your direction of travel.
If all this does not match up; the light will not change. A lot of people think that flashing head lights or other lights will work; and may even feel/swear that they do because the light changes, after all it will change eventually ;-) , but it does not.
Is far as I know it is not illegal to use one though. as the light techs are always out there with them testing the lights.
The magnets on the bottom of the bike will work on ground sensor lights though. You should not have any problems with the lights that have a camera looking sensor mounted on them.

Exactly. I've been installing Opticoms for the better part of the last 10 years on fire and rescue apparatus. It's so funny to see people that are going down the road flashing their headlights and using retail strobe lights thinking that it changes the lights. What most of those people fail to realize is that the Opticom is primarily Infrared, and usually the strobing light just signifies that the system is operational.
1. Even if you did actually get a unit that works, think about it, the system is logging an emergency vehicle as going through the light, and if it gets back to them as abusing the system, the responders may loose the privilege of having it.
2. Get caught with one in you personal vehicle here in Virginia and it's considered tampering with a traffic signal, which will fetch you a pretty heavy fine and possibly (hopefully, in my opinion) jail time.
I ride a bike too, it suck sitting there, but I do it anyways. Don't take out your impatience on the emergency responders.

[Q] LED Notification Light?

Will this phone have an LED notification light or is that just a htc thing ?
Thanks

It has one, it's at the bottom, just below the buttons

Yes, it does have a Notification light. Its where, normally, you would have hardware buttons (The bottom, instead of the top). Its hidden underneath the glass of the phone.

Anyone know the colours that it is capable of?

In another thread, someone mentioned it's multi colored (not just orange/green, like my htc dInc).

Well, so far we've seen it in solid green, pink (red+blue) and light blue (green+blue) so the common interpretation is it's multi-color, RGB, what have you.
It also fades in/out for added coolness.

I also have the Dinc and I hate the led light. I came from a BB storm and that is the only thing I miss from that phone. Can't wait for this little feature.

Luckily it's just a single variable in source code, if I'm not mistaken.
I just about fell asleep waiting for the LED to blink the second time lol

i remember downloading an app for my nexus one that governed everything about the led including blink rate. i imagine i would just re-download it when i get my prime?

Looks nice, miss my multicolour led on my htc desire. The desire s only has green and orange.

Here's another movie that'll show how the LED is working... now with more than one color
http://thedumi.wordpress.com/2011/11/11/samsung-galaxy-nexus-led-video/

Thanks, that video is new to me too.
I am feeling more and more ridiculous each day as such a seemingly minor hardware feature starts to completely overshadow my disappointment that there's no SD card slot.
This handset needs to arrive already so I can check one out in person :\

The LED indicator is truly powerful enough to sway me toward a purchase. I sorely miss it from Blackberry days.

Yeah, it's one of the biggest things that still makes me put my retired Nexus One next to my Sensation, then sigh sadly

Oh yes! Thanks for the video. I love the nexus one's light, I can't believe more phones don't have this. I know some have tiny lights but they are... well... tiny!

Notification led app customiser

Hey HOX users
Just was wondering if their was an app on the market which can let me customize the notif led on the one x. Also one which do sent use root would be preferred. Thanks

I also...

I've only seen them for the nexus line phones.. Well except for the nexus s.. I think I might of seen a rom somewhere that tweaked the led a little but nothing too drastically. I think it was like green led for notification, flashing red for missed call or something I can't remember

I might be wrong but the led can only change red or green. It was the same with the htc desire.

We need a RGB LED notification light for various colours like in the Nexus or SGS3 or Blackberrys. I don't think we have a RGB one.

You are wrong on one count, the Desire was able to show blue, magenta and others, can't remember which mod or app i used to do it though.

Sorry don't know abt led but there is an app called "no led" which worked a charm on my sgs2. though this does not use led!

My bad, i never managed to find an app that worked.

Try light flow light it can make the notification led glow in different colors.But in our one x its of no use since our phone has only red and green led.Miss my desire for that feature it can nearly display 5 or 6 colors and i assigned a color for each different type of notification!

No LED is not a very good solution for non AMOLED screens. With LCDs the whole screen lights up, this will drain the battery faster.

HOX only has RED or GREEN

Not to question anyone, but how has it been determined that the HOX ONLY supports red and green, aside from that being all that we've seen it display? I ask mostly out of simply curiosity (if someone has looked at the actual LED, or perhaps seen code proving it), but also because I just don't understand why a manufacturer wouldn't include an RGB LED over two separate LEDs or a bi-color LED. I can't imagine the price would be that different, and the possibilities are endless. No LED is silly, a non-RGB LED is silly. Wish the manufacturers would think these simple things through more.
Still, I've had Samsung phones prior to this, so I'm used to having no LED at all, so even green and red is a big upgrade to me!

Hi
At best you might get three colours, Red, Green, or Orange, i.e. both Red and Green lit, this will give you a yellow/orange color.
However, in order to optimise the circuitry layout, the LED likely only has two connections. To switch between red or green, the voltage is simply reversed. This makes it impossible to have both LEDs on at the same time. I expect this is the case in the HOX, so Red or Green is all you can get.
Regards
Phil

Take a closer look at those LEDs. They won't be changing color at all.
The red and green actually come from different parts behind the mesh.
From this I would gather that there are just2 different LEDs behind there.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

would be nice to have both flash at same time or have them blink a certain number of times or have them stay on for a few seconds or something like Morse code...

Is there any app like led me know that can use keys under the screen for notifications? that would make me so happy i have a international model with the default rom

[Q] Trickster mod gamma -values

When I put the green gamma offset to a minus value (ex -7) the screen turns green on low brightness, does this happened to you as well?
*Edit*
The screen doesn't get a greenish tone, but becomes green, most colors become green, this doesn't happened with blue or red.

I seem to lose battery life while charging,
