Notification Light

Is there a way to set the notifaction light to blink orange like all the other htc phones with an incoming text or email? I cant find the setting.

Not currently. I started a thread about having the backlight turn on when a message is received. I think this should be the same.

another thing google needs to fix ASAP!
I want the damn light to turn on when I get a message (screen)

The light BLINKS GREEN when there is something in the notification bar.

Doesn't the light blink Green when the phone has service and/or WIFI, Orange when charging, Blue for bluetooth and Red when the battery is low?
Just curious on WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOUR EXPECTING inside jk

I just noticed my battery like is down to 12% the notification light, isn't blinking at all.
Even with Bluetooth or wifi on my light does not blink blue. Weird.
I wonder if this is included in Androids "memory saving" feature. *Since the Android will self close apps in the background when it needs more memory. I don't know.

green blink
I just sent a txt to myself. light blinks green... cool!

Doesn't the light normally blink green, in stand-by mode?

The light doesnt blink as others cell phones do. The only time the light blink is when there is something in the notification bar. Test it out...

blue led?
I have yet to see the blue light just green orage and red...
anybody seen a blue led on a g1?

I think there's only one LED on the G1, and it's a red/green one (that looks yellow when both sides are energized.)

You can get it blue wen you hold the track ball down and powering up the phone.

I think it is four sided. Red, Orange, Green, and Blue
I have seen green and red LEDs mix before... and this doesn't look like that.

Can someone check something on SMS POPUP for me please?

I've had my Hero about, well, 48 hours. Previously I had the Magic until I lost it
Anyway I used the SMS POPUP app on my Magic and you were able to change the colour of the LED flash for when a new text was received. I would change it to say blue on my Magic, so then the LED would flash blue for a new sms and green which was default for emails.
Now I'm on the Hero, installed SMS POPUP and even when I select to change the LED colour to blue, red, orange whatever, test it and it just always flashes green.
I tried another app called MISSED REMINDER and even when i tried to change LED colours with that it would only always flash green.
I think the LEDs do work correctly as it goes orange while charging and then turns green when charged.
Basically can someone check to see if they can change the LED colour in SMS POPUP?
Thanks.

I take a look at the app and also wasn't be able to change the LED colour.

Thanks, I was looking around some reviews and I have seen a few times where it says the LED can only change between green and orange. Seems weird that the Magic could handle multiple colours yet the Hero cannot.

I remember seeing it flash blue and even red. Dont know how or why but I am pretty sure I saw it.

orange and green is all i've seen

Orange = charging
Red = Battery beneath 15%
Green = Fully charged
Blinking green = E-mail in your gmail account. (or a peep update)
For sms only the trackball blinks (white) it also does that when recieving a pop3 mail (for example your providersmail.
I don't know how to get a blue led though

If you're unlucky you're likely to join the bunch of us that the LED's and the headphone jack stops working for.

Yeah have started reading about this.
Hopefully I'll be lucky though, haven't even had the phone 3 days.
The lights do work fine (orange and green and red), it's just on the Magic when using the SMS Popup app you could change the colour of the LED flash for when receiving a txt. Where as on this phone it's always green regardless of what colour I select from within SMS Popup.
Headphones still working, phone would be going straight back if that clonked out!

I will be holding out for that rumored update though... who knows... it might be a software issue *crosses fingers and prays to God... uhm... no wait... HTC*

Notification LED Multicolor (App to toggle blue+green+amber led included)

I've written an app that can enable and disable the blue led with a toggle. I would like to know for who this works. Please test it and tell me .

For some reason my Desire went buggy and crashed at some point. However something amazing happened.
Contrary to popular believe, there are more colors than red, green and orange. My Desire's LED flashed blue and purple. Now I searched the forums and could not find any topic that confirmed this, nor on google, so just to let you guys know .
Next point on the list is finding an application that can tweak them

EDIT: Seeing the recent activity in this thread, I want to tell you this app was written a long time ago. It does not function on any recent roms. There are loads of other apps out there that can control your led.

Picture ??

Gheh, it only showed for like a few seconds, then the phone restarted, I will try to replicate the bug, but I expect I will be unsuccessful .

Interesting. I got my Desire yesterday and installed the Touchdown app for corporate connectivity. In TD's settings you can customise the LED behaviour to select different colours (beyond red, green and amber) for different events. Tried it and it just flashed green, but why have these settings if there's not a way to do this...interesting

I have been able to replicate the bug. This is how I do it:
1. Turn on Bluetooth
2. Receive a text message while charging
3. Disconnect from charger
4. Turn off screen
5. Reconnect to charger
6. My led will glow purply
7. Disconnect the phone from the charger
8. Led starts flashing blue, orange and purple
9. Phone reboots
Taking pictures as we speak

I've added the images. It was too hard to take a picture of the blue color. But at least here is purple.
PS. images are in the first post
EDIT: Also, I should add, I have been unable to duplicate the color for a second time. No idea why it happens. Just happy I was able to get these pictures

i did what you said. no special colors but strange things happens. no reboot

Re: Notification LED Multicolor (Picture of purple included)
Looks like the desire does some how support multi colours :S there must be a way to enable this fully within the codes. I will be donateing if the devs can get this to fully work

I have tried and tried and I have been unable to replicate this bug from this point on. I'm so happy I was able to take the pictures. I think it's because of a semi-faulty flash that I have this bug. Even though the randomality of it suggests it might be more of a hardware bug. We do however now know it has a blue led too. So cyan and white should be possible as well. I just wonder, why go through the trouble of a adding a full multicolor led, if you are only going to use 3 colors of the possible 7.

there might be something as simple as a voltage problem.
most leds will change color when you increase voltage and/or overload them.
the first few times you won't see any damage, but eventually the changing color might be permanent and then it's just a matter of time before the led just brakes.
so there is a change that it's not multi color, but the phone just overloads the led while crashing.

When I looked down the headphone port I could clearly see the red and blue led burning. I do really think there is a blue led in there.

Haa nice one mate

Well we know there is a Red and Green led for definite so having a Blue as well means we have multi colour. Now we just need a way to use it
There's no way that type of colour came from overloading the phone as when an LED overloads it just blows, it doesn't change colour to that extent.

Agreed lol. Just need the devs to add the code somewhere to enable this colour

This should really be moved to the dev section, let the guys play with it, i dont think too many devs trawl through the ****e on the general forum, with questions like "how do i make a call on my phone".. lollol
Start a new thread on the dev section, im sure this will be picked up by one of the wizzes

Heh, I'm sorry guys, but we already know there's a BLUE led inside.
This LED works a bit differently from the other LEDs, however.
Theres no need to do advanced tricks to show the blue LED, you
can easily enable it:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/leds-microp/blue/brightness
From within a terminal emulator.
the blue LED is, however, missing the 'blink' property, as the Green and Amber LEDs do.
And yes, it is also possible to turn other LEDs on at the same time, so you can make purple by enabling the BLUE and Amber LEDs.

Then can we not just simply integrate that command into our applications for use of the blue LED?

Notification led

Has anyone found an app yet that will change the color of the notif led for sms, missed calls, email, etc? I have tried many apps with no results.

Have you seen the LED show any other color besides blue?

red and purple.

Sorry won't work... I'd suggest you try this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730692

I'm almost positive there is a full RGB notification light! D: I'm praying there is!
The NoLed app doesn't work at all on the Epic. Even with it set up correctly, the screen will turn ON for about 5 seconds, turn off THEN show the notification. Rather buggy and doesn't wake up from sleep sometimes.
Also, NoLed is a battery drainer. No thanks, the Epic has a notification light. We just need someone skilled who can develop a program like TrackballPro for the Nexus One!

I have seen that app before. I betcha that would REALLY drain our batteries. Im not lookin for an alternative i want led customization. the colors i have seen are red, blue and magenta.

Magenta or purple? What notifications give those? Seems like every notification is red, and 100% charge is blue. that's all i've seen.

No system notification gives the magenta color....
But randomly when the phone is fully charged (blue), i'll take it off the charger and it will flash magenta for about 2 seconds. I've seen it multiple times, but its possible that its just a combination of the blue/red leds.

I would hate it if the led blinked red for everything besides being fully charged. I really hope samsung didnt stick with a 2 color led

Just red and blue guys. Confirmed by opening the test panel and trying to turn on green under led.
Btw - get to test panel in dialer by hitting #*0#*...lota cool stuff there

sometimes I don't feel like looking at emails, but I do like looking at text messages. now I have no idea =/

Atrix 4G indicator light

The green LED in the top right, when and when isn't it supposed to light up. When i first got it, it was lit always, now it only lights when i get a text

Mine lights up when I get texts, emails, missed calls, Bluetooth connection, and when fully charged. It only stays lit green continuously when it is fully charged.

Steady Green = Phone is connected to charger and battery charge is 85% - 100%
Blinking Green = Notification (Email, SMS, Missed Call, .. etc)
If you are doubtful or there's anything wrong, you probably need to remove any installed LED color apps (ex. Light flow, LED me know, .. )

what's the blue light for?

Or you can use LightFlow and screw with all of the different colors that LED has to offer.
I have found Blue, Red, Purple, Green, Orange, and Multi-Color. You can make almost any application/event do any color you want, at least that's how it is with the Pro version.
