So, now that Telus has released the Desire HD, I'm finally seriously thinking about giving up my N1.
Just curious about the notification LED. Obviously it's not going to be as bright or large as the N1, but how is it in general? Noticeable? Good size? Customizable with apps or ROMS (I will be moving to CM7 asap on it)?
Just curious...

Seems like it does. I've also seen videos that briefly show it flashing. But I haven't really seen a video with a good look at it, hence my question...
interesting...i just got the phone yesterday. It does seem to have an LED....doesn't work for me on emails though....that's why i thought it didnt have one!
It works alright, but the view angles are limited because it's behind the grille. If you look at it straight on, it's bright enough.
And you might want to have yours checked if the LED does not work, try *#*#3424#*#* and choose LED test.

Hello,
I'm used to use BerryBuzz on my Blackberry, which it think is a nice piece of software... Is there any similar for our Desires? I've tried Missed Call but not working...
I wish I could have a specific color for missed calls, another for SMS or emails... Are the LEDs on Desires handling multi colors?
Theres a free utility that apparently does something like that http://downloadandroid.info/download/Blink.apk

Did you try that, or just copied? I'm pretty sure that this app is not working on Eclair...
Testing it right now... I'll keep you informed.. Thanks!
Off track, What Berry are u using? Mine having a Bold 9000 and have BerryBuzz too, but I am experiencing a problem, the LED blinks so fast for a missed call/text, and there is no option to set an interval time? I think it's a battery hogger. So, Do you have the same problem or you found some settings to fix it? I m talknig about version 3.0.59.
Thnx
I have yet to find anything either.. I'm looking to replace "PhoneAlarm" reminder functionality from Windows Mobile. Locale eh, mostly does the profile changes, with some stuff missing.. but right now if I miss a call, email (K9), etc, no reminders..

Hi, I got an old 8310, berrybuzz latest version... os 4.5.0. You can change the settings into options, berrybuzz.. once opened go on the berrybuzz settings, upper corner near the "?". You should find the settings your looking for there.
Well, returning to the LED notification, Blink.apk doesn't work... sorry but thank you for the try
I too would like something like BerryBuzz, really made me like my Curve 8900
Same situation here... so far nothing is working including Blink. It was the first app I tried.

Does the led even flash different colors? It might not be like the nexus trackball

It definitely goes different colours, but perhaps you need root for this to work.

wot colours does it do?
i only seen orange and green so far
i had this working for my G1 fine, had blue for when one person text me, green for another, red for another etc etc
think this might be a problem with the desire not the android 2.1 (could be wrong)
i have rooted my desire and it wont allow me to change the notification colour, will keep you updated if i find a solution
Neither did the nexus one till someone made an application for it

I think the Desire only has a bi colour LED - ie RED or Green. Orange would therefore be the only other colour available

But many of the applications that change the color of the LED do not also obey when you select the red color (which brings). Will not it be a problem of software?
It is very important for my that changes the color of the LED and if it is confirmed that the led is two-color I buy myself a nexus one and to sell the htc desire

This was the same issue for the Windows based HD2 - from my understanding the LED notificiations are "hardware driven", therefore no software will allow you to change the colour. To date thi shas not been acheived on the HD2, and as the desire hardware is very similar, i doubt it will be possible on the Desire.
So I bought my wife the new G2 today, I loaded up handcent .. I know on my G1 I could get a notification light to blink. Does the G2 have this ability? I know the light is on while it is charging.
Thanks!
As of right now the only notification is the ring of light around the trackpad. I am hoping the ability to use and customize the speaker grill LED will be released in an OTA update
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
By my understanding, the speaker grille LED isn't RGB. It's only two channel (Amber and something else; lacking blue)
However, the ring of light around the trackpad is. While that may or may not come in a future OTA, it's almost guaranteed when we've got root.
Thanks .. I will update the wifey and let her know that it will be resolved at some point in the future

Led me know app does this..but you need root
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
+1 for the LED Me Know app (from the Android market).
The trackpad light is white-only.
The speaker-grille-LED can be green/amber/red. "LED Me Know" currently can make it flash amber or green, and you can make it flash the trackpad or even the keyboard backlight too, for different notification types.

What does this mean? Seriously.
If you need help, you're going to have to write in such a way that others may understand you.

Whats hard to understand, he's looking for an app to change the trackball color when you recieve a call or text. Which I dont think is out yet since theres no full root
What the OP is missing in the post is the word notification.
The top battery led indicator (see page 16 of the G2 user manual "Notification LED") doesn't flash as notification of missed calls, e-mail, etc and a fix should be available soon. I contacted HTC and that's what they told me.
Trackpad notification indicator

One more thing, HTC refers to it as a Trackpad, not "Digital track ball".
See post #31.

Cyanogen has written a file than enables notification. It works for me, but would need to be reinstalled at each reboot.
Try the app noLED. Not perfect, but a decent alternative work-around.

I'd be careful with this...this was made for the amoled screens and it worked well because it only needed to light that small portion of the screen. lcd's are backlit. This has the potential to kill your battery crazy fast.

I love this work-around. I only use it for texts tho, but have yet to see any battery drain.
perhaps i'll leave it on for a while and see if theres any big hits.
I have noticed for different reminders, our galaxy s3 has a lot more colors included in this LED. Was wondering if there is any app I could use to control these specific colors yet? I've tried blink, sms popup, and LED control and the colors you have to pick from are not matching with what colors the phone flashes. Just didn't know if there was anything out there yet for us to control that
I noticed this too. It's funny once I noticed it was purple lol. But it would be cool to find a app or maybe it come in a ROM or something. But I doubt anything is like that now. Just have to stay patient and let the devs know about it and hope we can see it in the near future.
Lightflow.... It is almost ready for GS3 the development of it is occurring as we speak.

Is Lightflow going to be in a ROM or just a flashable zip or an app?

App looks pretty cool. Thanks for the information.
So if I'm not mistaken this app isn't ready yet for the gs3 right? Last time I used it the colors were off. You would choose red and get white or choose green and get red.

Yes, They are having some issues right now. Maybe the next update it will be fixed. Last time it was updated was July 17th.
Hey guys, good news. I found a free app called light manager. Its in the market/play store. It will let you modify the led color and flash rate. And it actually picks up the correct colors too. Check it out, it was just updated today 07/31/2012.

I am running stock. This has all different colors. It also will produce random white/blue LEDs without any notification in the notification bar.
Another option would be to root, and go with the CM10 preview build (it's very stable at this point, good enough for a daily). You can apply LED colors/blink intervals to just about anything with it. No other apps or hacking required. :good:
Doesn't look like Light Manager or Light Flow works yet.
Could be differences between models

I've tried both as well, I'm on a Telus SIII (I747M) and not having any luck with any of the suggested apps, but I have heard of people getting it to work. So at this point, it could be possible its a difference in the devices and control of them. I'm glad someone is looking into this because I used to have a BlackBerry and I loved the ability to customize the LED completely down to what colour light flashes when a certain contact texts or calls. It was so customizable, this is the first Android device I've had that has an LED, so hopefully we will be able to take control of it! :good:
Works on S III
Works great on my Galaxy SIII (rooted, Sprint version) !
I'll vouch for Light Flow, but its a little buggy. my green light stays on when i have signal (even when turned off)
Light flow just got updated today and fixed the green light always on with a lot of other app fixes.
Lightflow is cool. But all assigned colors do not work... Yet....

OK So i searched google and xda for proof the Note 2 has a led notification light some say it does others say it dont, looking at the phone i think it does, but looks can be decieving. After watchin loads of videos on youtube i still cant find any that actually show the light, so if someone who owns this phone can finally tell me once and for all whether it does or doesnt have 1 i would appreciate it,
or even better knock up some pics or a video to prove it.

It's also Red and Green.
In fact, it can be any colour you like using Light Flow or similar apps.
Cheers dudes I don't get why review videos don't show it off, IMO its an excellent feature definitely worth a mention
Download light flow from the play store then you can have as many colors as u want
