[Q] LED - Surround General

Hey just a quick question... the Charging LED on the front of the Surround thats green when charged and red/orange while charging... will this also flash for notifications such as new texts etc or is it only for charging...

I don't believe so. I haven't seen mine do this, although that would be a nice hack to work on.

The only time I've ever seen it flash is when I have a voicemail. It flashed green during this.

The green flashes if you have a missed call.

Standby led?

Does any standby led flash on your own devices?
There is a led beside earpiece but it never flashes.
Read your user manual. The so called led beside the earpiece is a light sensor and not an led.
The stndby led does not flash unless u have a missed call or sms.
The LED is in the Power button, which flashes when you have a Missed call/sms/email in green, or flashes red when the battery is low, or stays red when charging.

Yes, I found it, thanks.
However, it only functions when charging the battery. It doesn't flash upon missed calls or sms...

goto settings > alarms and notifications and make sure the tick box is marked against LED. Also you can state the length of time you want it to flash.

Is it visible under daylight?
Or do we really have to be in a dark room to see the LED flashing?

No, you don't have to go to a dark room to see it... but it's tiny...
i wonder why they didn't place it somewhere on the front of the device...

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!

No , none at all
Look the the battery icon at right corner. It's fully charged if it's not flashing.
No notification lights for charging/charged
new text
missed call blah blah
Maybe someone could make an app using the back and search button to act as led

Notification LED

Not sure if anyone noticed, when I am using skype calls I see a red LED in the left corner of the earpiece.
Would be great if this LED is used for missed calls or messages notifications.
That is not an led afaik

that's the proximity sensor
Well I think it's possible by the lights on the two sensor switches, Back and Option switches, they do have light on them, so I think there should be an application which will allow to glow them in case of a Missed event.
Yes, BLN, but therefore a kernel-mod is required, and this is not done yet-

Question for Essential phone owners

Hello, Please can you tell me if this phone has an indicator light for SMS or missed calls? Thx. Will get it if it does.
Yes, it has a notification LED up by the ear piece. It's been shown in multiple review videos.
