I just got the magician and I noticed that only the top half of my notification light actually lights up- is this nomal and if so- what is the bottom half for?
Thanks,
Daniel
Yes this is normal, since the bottom half is the speaker for the phone.
Thanks-

I tried looking in the forum for any info on the status LED next to the speaker on the front side but I don't see any posts on this. Is this LED supposed to flash or do something? On my HD it has never worked? Is it supposed to work?
I remember on my Artemis it would flash green for good reception, blue for bluetooth and red if the battery was low.

I may be wrong but i was under the impresion that this was a sensor rather than a LED.
No, that's entirely correct, it is the light sensor. The LED is in the power button.
the status led is on the power button on the top right hand side of the blackstone...the place u highlighted is a sensor as what scotia has point out..
I think that it is a proximity sensor used to blank screen when you put the phone on your ear to talk.
It's actually the light sensor used for when you have automatic display brightness enabled. When it's dark, it turns down the brightness... And when it's a sunny day it cracks it up. I am not sure whether it's used to blank the screen during a call... This seems to happen after a period of time has elapsed.

ok thanks for the info.
So does the power LED on the top side flash any color to show the status of the reception or does it only light up orange when it charges?
Thanks.
doesn't do anything for reception..although mine flashes green hen I have a message/email/reminder
pity though, a decent LED to show such things was probably high on everyone's wishlist
No, the HD is perfectly unobtrusive. On my last PDA the LED had to be tweaked to stop flashing.
Too bad this isnt a LED diode Since I got on my Diamond a light notification (on the bottom of device)... when I recieved new sms... now on HD there is no way I can figure do I have new sms or notification unless I turn the screen on. The only hardware flaw by mine opinion
When its lying down, I agree with you. Then I have to turn on the screen. However when its lying next to me I'm usually not in a place were I can't use my phone, so the sound is on anyway.
I actually think its quite good the LED is on the top, it's easelly visible when the phone is in my pocket. I just have to pull the phone up a little and look down to see the LED (no need to get it out and turn the screen on). I like it on the top, nice and discreet, and not anoying me when I'm looking at the device while using it.
Perhaps a combination would be nice? Front and top That would sattisfy most people I guess...
I have a CDMA Hero from sprint in the US and am wondering if it has dual LED notification lights. I have read in lots of places that it does but am wondering if it actually has dual LED since my notifications only light up the left side. From the dash 3G I remember that the LED on the left was an LED and the one on the right side that looked like an LED was actually the light sensor. I also know that the Hero is supposed to have a light sensor. Just curious, thanks for any help.
::crosses fingers and hopes for Dual LED::
I think (I don't have a Hero yet, I'm just going off the online documentation for it), that the trackball acts as the second indicator "LED", but there isn't one on the right side of the earpiece, only the left. The trackball flashes when you have an incoming call or a notification.
sounds like it's the other way round from the GSM one then...the GSM has the LED on the right and the light sensor on the left.
no Dual LED's
I also have a sprint hero. The left led is the only one that flashes. It doesn't change color either. And the track ball does light up if u turn it on in the settings. As for the second led on the top right, it is definitely the light sensor. U can test it for yourself by putting your finger over it, and watch the screen dim.....
the one on the right is the light sensor.. cover it and it goes dim.

The LED on the left will change color and flashing pattern depending on your battery life and whether you have notifications or not. No notifications, no light (at least from what I've seen). If you're low on battery, the light goes yellow, and if you're within the 10-15 min boundary or less for battery life, light blinks red.
Thanks for all your help and I didnt realize that I had auto backlight disabled must have done that the first day I was messing with it all, I see now how the sensor reacts to having a finger over it. I would have enjoyed dual LEDs up top but oh well. Any way to customize the color of notifications, tried the handcent but it doesnt affect the LED at all or the trackball light for that matter. Going to try missed call or sms popup later to see if I can get some better results.

I read somewhere the flashing trackball doesn't work on our CDMA Hero
That would make sense since I can't seem to get my trackball to flash, what a bummer. Hopefully we can get root or a software fix soon.
T-Mobile DASH 3G Led Indicator Lights
I have a T-Mobile Dash 3G. The left LED light is NOT flashing, and I would prefer that it does. I upgraded to WM 6.5 and I think that is what disabled the LED since I have seen videos on youtube where the indicator does flash.
The LED does glow orange and green when i am charging though.
Err I think you may have the wrong forum. This is for the HTC Hero, which runs Android not WM. Why not try starting your own thread in the correct Forum as you are more likely to get an answer there?
At the top of the phone you have what i thought were 2 lights, the left turning amber when charging and green when fully charged, when the phone is on normal standby i thought it flashed periodically, does it cos mine does not? secondly the other side which is a 'light sensor' but i thought this went blue when bluetooth was activated, again mine does not, my phone is Brand new with 6.5 preinstalled, is my phone faulty? i am sure on previous HTC models the right side was a 'blue light' so to clarify when my phone is in normal 'standby' there are NO lights, the only lights are on the left side which go amber when charging and solid green when fully charged and flashes green when there is a missed call or sms, the right side appears just to be a 'sensor' Is this all correct.
Any clarification will be much appreciated.
Thanks

On the left you have a LED, which behaves in the way you wrote, except for the fact that it flashes when you have a missed call or a new message, not during normal stand-by. On the right is a light sensor which, of course, will never flash nor become blue when bluetooth is active.
Ok when looking at the hd2 on top near the speakers the left side. , You will see 2 circles.
What are those ?
At first I though it was the notification led but after using it for more than 3 months I think , I noticed it does not light up or anything , and the light comes from the left side of the speaker it's self, which is not covered and gets dust in and everything
light sensor and proximity sensor....
Oh I see
Thanks
Does anyone know what it means when you get feint red glowing LED's at the bottom of the display? There are 2 of them. One on each side near the speaker and microphone grills. Actually if I pass my hand over the phone the notification comes up and they go away for a moment than come back when the notification vanishes so I think they are to do with the sensor.
yeah, they are the infrared sensors, usually it is too hard to really see them light up, but it is possible

So it does have infra red LED's then. Shame they can't be used as IR blasters.
They are there for Moto's active display technology.
