[Q] Custom Led light? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way to make a led light glow behind the battery? I have a clear case where you can see the battery and all that. I want to make a small led light where it glows threw the case. Any ideas?

That does look good. I would take the wires and run them through the inside of the back housing tough. Tape them to the inside of the housing anywhere that there isnt a connection point and straight to the battery progns. The only thing I would worry about is will the light stay lit all the time? If so that would drain your battery pretty bad, even with a low consumption led it will still have an impact on it.

Swimming lessons for my Blue Angel

Hey guys,
So last night I get home late, been diggin' the bop at local jazz joint, had some 4 Roses in me, entered the bedroom using my Qtek 9090 as a flashlight so I don't have to wake up my girlfriend by turning on the light. She had been a little sick earlier so had a bucket with some water by the bed, just in case. I make too much noise so I do wake her up, she recognises me and wants to move over to make room; struggling with blankets, she accidentally hits my hand. There goes my Qtek, falls on the matress, bumps to the side, down next to the bed, splashes into the bucket.
Damn.
So here's my problem.
My Qtek was completely immersed in clear water for a very short time. I let it dry, taking out the battery and SD card to allow air in and out of the device; but now, I can't turn it on. With the battery inserted, the flashing led on the top right is not working and I only get the 'Qtek 9090' boot screen. It's stuck there, backlight doesn't work. With the battery taken out and the device on mains power, the led on the top right is red but I get nothing on the screen. Hard reset not working either.
What do you guys think? Is it worth getting this repaired? Or does it seem that everything is damaged?
Thank you thank you

I would suggest to keep the battery off the device, open it, blow all the corners with hairdryer, close it, and test your luck. If it's under guarantee, I would do the same, and if it does not work, send it back.

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?

Tilt2 Leds not working, and clicking closing

We got two tilt 2's yesterday. First, MINE (ugh) makes a click sound when putting the tilting screen back to flat. Doesnt do it when moving the screen anywhere but just as it gets back to completly flat to the base. A little click or snap noise like a peice of plastic breakage. It keeps doing it every time. The other one doesnt do this.
Secondly, right after we got them and left, i noticed her led was blinking showing power was on. Mine wasnt blinking at all. I just checked and i dont get a blinking blue light with blue tooth enabled either. I am not able to check the other tilt 2, but i suspect hers would be blue if the blue tooth was enabled.
Im thinking about hard resetting. If that doesnt cure it, exchange? Problem is, they were the only 3 the store had and some one else took the other as we did our thing.
I don't know about your other problems, but my phone also makes that noise when closing the screen flat. It doesnt really bother me that much so I don't plan on returning it unless it becomes worse.
How about the Tilted screen? when you touch it tilted, or shake it slightly when tilted, does the screen wobble? I got mine yesterday, and if I hold it at an angle to straight in my hand, when I touch the screen it 'plays' back and forth 3-4 degrees... very annoying
And yes, it clicks too when closed flat...
Me thinks it goes back for another unit.... how do your units behave? Is the screen firm when tilted, or does it wobble?
I've never gotten a blinking light with power on any HTC phones.
Maybe it's a voicemail indicator?
I haven't learned the ins and outs of the LEDs yet. I know with EnergyROM installed I don't see a Bluetooth blinkenlight when BT is on, but currently I'm set as not discoverable and not paired with anything.
duplicate... where's the delete?
This is bothering me too. Lights don't do anything unless it is connected to a charger. My old Tilt would at least flash to let you know you had a signal (and it was on). I also don't get a flash when the GPS is active like I did with the Tilt, nor WiFi. If you go to the notifications section, there are "flash light for ..." options for things like new txt msgs, new voicemail, missed call, etc., but they can't be enabled: they are all grayed out. Someone had a cab out for the old Tilt that would let you customize the behavior of the lights, but I don't think I ever tried it.
As far as the click, mine clicks too, but it doesn't bother me. I'm just glad my screen doesn't wobble (rotate) back and forth like the demo unit in the store did.
We have 4 old tilts and every single one the lights work. If the phone is on, left led blinks every 30 seconds or so indicating power or signal (not sure). Turn on wifi right led flashes (yellow?) every 30 seconds or so, and enable blue tooth and right led blinks blue.
Now with the tilt 2's
Checked my wifes phone. No blinking at all. Then we noticed a left flash when there was an unread anything, think it was text at the time. Both have solid left led for charging.
I had hard reset my phone for nothing, i guess.
Went to att this morning. He was gonna get me another one today or tomorrow. Checked my wifes phone and came to realize the leds just arent doing what i expected them to do.
The tilting back to flat and snapping sound.......
He had a demo and it was doing it to. Ok, so maybe my wifes phone is messed up cause hers aint doing it. He is gonna call me when they get another one in tomorrow and tell me what tht one does ..... off to the mall
Go to att in the mall, find another tilt 2 on display. It makes the snap sound too.
NOW i am thinking my wifes phone isnt right cause all the rest are making that noise. And if you go real real slow, it feels like it is supposed to do that. Indicates that it is closed? I DONT KNOW
To me it almost feels like the hinges are magnetic, but that sounds strange and unlikely.

Hello there... just to let you know... clicking sound is completely normal... (mine as well as 3 other I have got in my hands... all do the clicking... so not to worry... (your wife's tilt 2 not doing click... yeap... that's the one with issues not yours) about led... I have Original Tilt and now Tilt 2... just to confirm again... yes... original Tilt flashes left light about every 15 sec... while new Tilt 2 flashes only on new email/text/mms
I wonder if there is a way to remap the blinking lights via registry in order to set them like Original Tilt...
RTFM & search. there is only a green & orange LED. there is no blinking lights for bluetooth/wifi/cell phone signal. there is nothing wrong with your phone. The light only blinks for whatever you set in the Sounds & Notification settings, low battery, & charging.
as for the clicking when you go back to flat: my Tmo TP2 has done this since day 1 as did the first one i had. I just think of it as a auditory confirmation that the screen is back to where it's supposed to be.

Too bad that's grayed out so we can't set them. Mine appears to be set to only blink for five minutes. That's fine if I happen to look at the phone within five minutes of the event.

Any fix for this? Ideally I would want to see if I have missed event past the 5 minute cutoff... I wonder if there is a registry setting. any help??
TIA.
LEDs
Page 26 of my Manual says;
* 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%.
Hope that helps.
I don't think the clicking noise when the screen seats in the flat position is due to plastic flex. It sounds metallic to me -- as though one of the components of the metal hinge is seating into another -- i.e. sort of a mechanical clickstop when the flat position is reached.
The screen wobble in tilted position is due to the continuously variable tilt angle feature. Doesn't bother me, as long as it doesn't get so loose with wear that the screen doesn't maintain a set angle. The alternatives would be either fixed tilt positions (click stops) instead of a continuously variable tilt; or making the hinge so tight that it would be a pain to tilt it.

[Q] Amber light stays on

for some reason the amber charging light doesnt seem to go away,ive done multiple hard resets and still nothing.i dont mind the light its just that it drains my battery,and i dont rally like having to plug my phone up every 6hours.
i have the oem charger,and battery..if that helps
my phone has cosmetic damage all over,its overheated 1 time before to the point of shutting itself down.(XDA-WifiSharing)
my main question is can i deactivate in anyway other than ripping the phone apart and desoldering the damn thing,or using up my insurance claim.warranty does not cover my Tp2 due to a crack close to the bottom mic hole.
ive read about people doing a regedit on other model htc's,can we do that on ours ?
(Edit)
after a look through the archives it seems that if your charger ports moves around a little,its because of a defect on our phones.these were not designed to be rugid,and nothing can be done unless your skilled with a soldering iron....i miss the the charger port doors,they were a hassle at times."sigh"oh well

[Q] Case Mod for Nexus 7 2 Help

I've been thinking about a case mod that I would really like to do, but I need a little help . If you have ever seen the iPhone mod where the apple logo lights up, then you will have some understanding of what I want to do. I have an idea what I'm going to do, and here's what ive got so far. Removing NFC and charging coil, dremeling out the lettering, put a diffuser over the letters, put led strips over the edges of the diffuser, and finally, relocating the NFC pad and coil to the back of the battery. But my question is, where do I connect the LEDs to so they turn on when the screen is on? P.S. sorry about the long read
