How do you turn that darned green flashing light to show that the phone is "ok"? It's honestly so annoying. I'm sure theres some sort of registry tweak out there, but I can't find anything.
Any help? My friend's blackberry all he has to do is go to a simple menu, and turn it off. So simple, why does it gotta be so hard for us Dash users?

This has been asked before and as of now there's not a reg tweak to disable the led light, and you shouldn't go comparing the Dash to a crapberry! we don't hear of a lot of people being bothered by the tiny led light here . Maybe you should get some black nail polish and paint over it!. JK.
Has anyone noticed their phone likes to turn itself on during phone calls as the phone touches your head?
I thought that could be fixed with Advanced Configuration Tool and these options:
◦Phone sleep during call
◦Fast sleep during call
But they both are gone. They were there on my Kaiser. Any ideas?
It's supposed to turn off due to the proximity sensor. I'm using a T-Mobile USA TP2 and it turns off as it touches my ear. One way you can test this, if you haven't already, is to call a phone, then as it is in progress, lay the phone with the screen up, and put your finger across the top of the facade of the phone (cover the top area where the earpiece is). When I do that, in order to replicate my ear towards the phone, the proximity sensor blanks the screen.
As for the AC tool settings you mentioned, I've never touched those, so mine are on the default settings.
Hey, wow! You're right! When the device is against my ear, the display is out. As soon as I pull it away, even slightly, it turns it on!
I'm simple, I know. My wife tells me that all the time.

It's okay, when I first got my TP2, I encountered the same thing you thought was a problem. Then I saw a video online demonstrating proximity sensors and the guy on the video put his finger along the top/speaker area of the device and the screen turned off. I replicated his actions on my TP2 and realized that the proximity sensor activates when something is touching it or gets fairly close to it. BTW, we're all simple; we just excel in different ways!
LOL, me and the wife learning this stuff too. Hey, heres another (which i just created a post for), GO rub a magnet on the face of the phone while the screen is OFF, right over the tiny keypad. If you have a soft case with magnet in the flat, go see the funky result

Well since I'm already here and I don't want to search for that post (sorry to the Mods since this is irrelevant for this thread), I can answer that too. It's already a well-known issue. The magnet tricks the phone into thinking either the keyboard and/or the stylus is being opened/taken out. However, it is more accepted that the phone is being tricked into the keyboard being opened. There's a registry edit posted on these forums that can fix that, but the downside is if you want the screen to turn on when the keyboard opens, it will no longer turn on without having to press the screen wake-up button.
I'm just using the Slide2Unlock v.204 for WVGA devices. It keeps the phone locked even if the screen turns on. When I slide my phone into my magnet-clasped holster, it sometimes turns on. It's just a habit for me now to check the screen once it's in the holster, so I can turn the screen off if it woke up by itself.
A funny thing I noticed..
The vibrate to connect when calling someone doesnt work many at times...
Any setting or additional app to make sure it connects.. really like this feature as I m mostly on the road and its quite handy..
Solved
Just realised that the vibrate will work only if the phone is away from your ears.. that means that screen is on...
I think the sensor turns of the screen and the vibrate when you bring i close to your ears...
Smart move
MOds can close the thread !! Cheers!
After just getting the one these are just a couple annoyances to me and I feel there is probably no way to disable them... Also not having power save mode toggle is a little annoying but I saw somewhere that it's apparently baked into 4.2.2 or something.
I think it is but power saver is really dumb. It honestly wastes more battery for reasons I'm too lazy to type again

Bump on the charging LED turn off. I use the phone as my alarm clock and leave the display on all night. One it hits FULL, that green glow is a spotlight! LOL!
I've been scouring all over the place for something like this as well.
I could likely stomach the charging LED as it is red for the most part at night for me and by the time it turns green I'm too damned sleepy to care, but the capacitive lights are annoying. I too like to leave my screen on so that I can see what time it is if I should wake up before my alarms.
Does anyone know if this is possible on an unrooted device?

I tried a few and either I'm inept or they don't work, so I spose I'm gonna have to play the waiting game
it's a green bubble with call duration time, i can move it, i know, but it's really annoying.
