Notification LED broken?! - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got my Desire some weeks ago with the Stock image and everything seemed to work good. Then i flashed CM7 Nightly and the LED was still working on charging and notifications.
From one day to another the LED stopped working. I tried to change images (Redux, Ginger Villian, Leedroid) but never got it working again. Also i tried different apps which can enable the LED - still no success, not even when charging.
Could it really be that the LEDs break on the same moment? Any ideas on what i could try?
Everything else on the phone works as designed.
Thanks guys.

Blink Led gone?

Hi
I have search but can't find an answer to this problem.
I have tested some different rom's and they have all worked well more or less.
Yesterday i tested: PDAViet_WM6.1_WWE_3.62.61.11_B19716 and installed som apps.
All worked ok to start with, then the blink leds went black and the green and red phonebutton started to light all the time.
I tryed to softreset without any luck so i shutoff the phone and removed the batteri, started i up and all was fine.
But it happened again so i decide to install PaysWWE210Full, hi's rom's work's well i think.
Guess what, the blink led's still don't work but the green and red phone button is not lighted
All other stuff work's.
If anyone have a clue what's wrong, please tell me.
edit: None of the buttons, green/redphone or the other seems to work.
The keybord works.
edit: Seems that no hardwarebutton at the front of the phone works.
The buttons at the side of phone and the hardwarekeyboard works.
sorry for my bad english.
I finaly got it to work
I took out the battery whithout turning the phone off first, waited some minute and then turned on the phone again, and now it works!

LED Flash died, sort of (not dead, just has a life of it's own?!)

Just noticed that my LED flash doesn't work, not on camera or with "torch". First of all I'm using the latest Cyanogenmod 6.0.2 with Launcher Pro Plus, and havent experienced any problems with it. I did however a complete wipe and tried 2 other roms to be sure (tried the HTC Flashlight) but the LED stays dead.
Anyways, I tried the "torch" on Cyanogenmod and obviously it didn't work, BUT a bit later when I unlocked my phone the LED turned on by itself approximately for the time I tried the torch earlier.. sounds weird? for me too, and it did that a second time also. What the f&%k is the problem, hardware issue? Propably or something else? I have no idea what to try
If I wanna get my phone to warranty I'd need to unroot it.. I have HBOOT 0.93 and SLCD screen, didn't find a solution for that combo or does just simply running a official RUU unroot it?

i have no idea about the flash... but for unrooting it, just running a RUU for slcd should unroot it... just try, you won't loose anything, just do a backup (titanium backup) then flash the RUU, the worst that can happen is that it does nothing, and you have to root it again...

Yeah unrooting is a piece of cake, don't wanna do that just yet because the LED is not dead afterall, it just has a life of it's own, it blinks on about every 30 seconds.. lol, is there a way to disable the LED light like removing it's driver or something? This is just such a mindf*&k right now..
Well.. after fighting with trying to get one of my SD cards to work as Goldcard I gave up and wiped and flashed once again, and to my surprise the flash is working again, HTC's Flashlight kinda workd backwards, from brightest, dimmest to medium brightness.. but as for cameras it does seem to work.
If anyone expreiences something similar please do share it, I don't wanna be the only one acting like lunatic with LED problems lol
Hi phiit,
It's not just you, I'm having a very similar issue. Got my phone back from HTC a couple of weeks ago after they manually applied the latest software update to 2.2 - as the OTA update failed and corrupted the radio on my phone (Grrr!).
I have noticed over the past few days the flashlight feature doesn't work, it loads up and you 'click' the button on the display to select one of the light levels, but nothing happens with the camera flash LED at all.
In addition to this the camera flash LED occasionally, and apparently completely randomly, lights up for half a second roughly whilst I am doing something completely unrelated with the phone.
It has happened while I am unplugging it from charge, browsing the internet, playing Angry Birds and using other apps - none of which (as far as I know) go anywhere near the camera.
The camera flash now does not operate when I try to take a picture in low light conditions - regardless of the flash setting on the camera app, I can't make it come on in Google Goggles or Barcode scanner either.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, this is a non-rooted, branded T-Mobile handset.
Any ideas anyone? I'm waiting to hear back from htc about it, I'm not looking forward to their answer somehow....
Phone sent off to HTC again on Tuesday, awaiting their response, hopefully it'll be quicker than the three weeks it took last time......

Green LED notification light won't turn off.

I wen't for a run with my incredible, which I have done many many times, and when I got back the Green notification light was on. I think some sweat must have found its way into the phone. Is there an app or anything I can do to get this notification light turned off. I don't need the light, I turn it off on all the applications that use the light. I'm rooted running CM7, I changed kernals and loaded Sky Raider to see if that would fix it, to no avail. The light comes on almost instantly after pushing the power button on a reboot. Looking for some input before I go talk to verizon. I'm due for an upgrade in June, so I can wait it out if I need to.
Thanks
Do you have a nandroid of your stock setup? If you do, install that backup and see if that works.
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
Its been so long since i have been stock. Thats why i flashed another Rom/Kernal. I think its the phone, not the ROM.

[Q] HTC Evo with CM7.2, Pictures with flash turned on has blue tint? [Solved]

I checked settings and I set them back to default, still nothing. I haven't really dropped the phone to the point of it causing damage, Checked the lenses, and LED flash on the phone seems to be working fine. I turn on the flash as a flashlight, it seems to be normal and white. The thing is when I take a picture with flash set On or Automatic the picture ends up having a blue/aqua tint to it. I can't seen to figure it out. I have my HTC Evo rooted and flashed with CM7.2, it did this with CM7 also it used to work just fine but randomly started to happen. Any ideas? Sucks cause I use my phone to take pictures to list items on eBay and now I am screwed.
*edit* Ended up reflashing my phone and it fixed it. Thanks anyways

LED Notifications inop

I bought this S3 used off Ebay and right away rooted and flashed TPR. Works great. Just realized that the LED notifications don't work when the phone is on. If it is off and charging it shines red until charged then green and blue when rebooting but if th phone is on the LED doesn't light ever. I do have everything check marked in Display/Led and I flashed back to stock and still the same. I redownloaded the ROM and still the same. Also in case it matters with debugging on or off when I plug it into my PC to charge at work Auto play pops up which I don't remember happening on my Epic 4G I came from. Any thoughts or do I have to live with it?
Thanks in advance
I assume no replies means I get to live with it but I will bump it once just for giggles and see what happens
Thanks
Just a note to say that it is fixed it in case anyone else has the problem...I had gone back to stock by flashing the return to stock rom but it still persisted. I used Odin to return to stock and it still persisted. I had a problem with the proximity sensor that I had replaced and then the notifications worked properly. I am told that LED notification light and proximity sensor are 2 completely different circuits but that is the timeline of it working.
