Stop the blinking lights? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

Anybody know how to stop the bluetooth and network active blinking lights but still have the radios be active? Maybe a registry tweak or something?
Thanks...

I would also be interested in this if anyone knows...

That would be neat.
I was wondering myself whether anything could be done to make the lights slowly fade in and out. That would be such a cool effect -- and less annoying that the blinking flash. Imagine an app that allows the user to set a variable flash/fade rate. Sweet!
(Not sure it's possible with the existing hardware inside the Wizard. I'm not an electrical guy, but wouldn't some sort of relay be required for a fade effect?)

As a former electrical guy, I can tell you the kind of hardware you would need to fade in and out is probably not part of the circuitry. The best you can probably hope for is to stop the cellular (and maybe bluetooth) radio indicators from blinking at you ceaselessly. For my own part, I happen to LIKE the fact that my wizard blinks orange at me when I have missed calls, messages, etc. but I too would love to kill the other blinkers.
I found this, but the referenced registry marker is not present on my machine:

Make LED blink every Sec ????

hi all !!
How to make XDA EXEC LED to blink every sec for any missed calls and reminders. I couldnt find the exact registry key. I felt its better to ask the experts here. hope someone can help me.
Thnxs!!
bump
Not sure, but i think it's this one:
HKCU/ControlPanel/Notifications/Default/
Change 'Duration' from 5 to 1
I am confused about your question. Why use the registry hack? You can set those notifications under settings>sound and notifications. Just check the box and set it to "NO LIMIT".
The LED light will only stop blinking orange if you delete or respond to the notification on the screen.

I think the OP is referring to the frequency of the LED rather than the duration, presumably so you can tell if you've missed an event/call at a glance rather than a stare

Thats what i really trying to do..I dont want to stare at LED to see if i have missed any event or calls. Instead if the frequency of blinking is changed,you can note the missed event quickly even if you are busy doing something.
when green and orange blinking frequency is different you can catch the missed call/event very quickly.

I thought the duration was the time between flashes (frequency)
But hey... what do i know
Ohhhhhhh. Got it. Nice idea, but it might be battery draining if left unoticed.
Yes battery will drain quickly. do anyone know how to do it ??

I much doubt it would drain much battery at all tbh
1- it's just an LED - these typically don't gobble much power at all - certainly compared to the backlight, sound and radio functions.
2- it would only be blinking like mad from the time you've missed an alert/call/text to the time you've dismissed it.
I don't know how to go about doing it but now that I think about it, this would be a great enhancement. Any thoughts from the gurus?

How do you disable the two external LED's

You've got two multicolour led's, at least one is multi colour, green blinking for network, orange when charging and green when fully charged.
Blue for bluetooth, obvious .
Now i wonder, how do i turn them off?
Is there a tool to do that ?
Im intrigued! Why?
When i'm watching divx with tcmp, i hate those blinking led's in front of me.
That's it

change the value to 0

Buuuuuhhhhhtttttttt, how about JUSt turning the LED's off?
That was my original question, to turn off the LED's.
All other functions must remain available.
(Logitech Bluetooth Stereo )Headset, and when the phone rings i must pickup when on standby duty ......

But this is not a functional solutionas far as i read the article.
Searched and found that topic myself already by the way.....
For ur this simple prob u can simply paste a small piece of matching dark coloured tape so that they dont disturb u nemore. lol........
LOL, no that's covering up, not shuttung down
So anyone any ideas jet ?
They bother me a lot when traveling at night time, and it's in the holder, i want to be able to shut them down please.
Tape is no option.
They can be controlled and disabled, but it'll be messy to disable them. There are various drivers scattered around that want control of the leds.

Network, Charge and of course Bluetooth traffic are the ones i guess ?
How does one control these things, have you got any idea ?
The thing is, it's distracting me a lot when driving the car in the dark, that's why i ask. Also when watching divx it's distracting
The method I could write would be messy, inelegant. Easiest way is to disable allledmgr.

Sounds like a solution to me?
I have no idea to enable or disable allledmgr, can i do that in the Registry perhaps ? Would you like to teach me how to do that ?

You could always open the case up and try removing the LEDs.

Yeah, or buy a Nokia 8210 ....
Come on get serious
OK then, I'll be serious.
I have looked into this quite extensively in the past, tried hacking all sorts of settings in the registry and all I have managed to do in the past is turn off the network LED.
As far as I'm aware and have been able to work out, the Bluetooth and the WiFi are controlled by either the drivers or the hardware itself rather than registry settings and modifying the drivers is beyond my capabilities. Of course, if it's hardware then there's nothing that can be done.
Come on Vijay, I know you of all people can do it, good luck.

Here you go - VJImpoto, alpha release.
This will disable the LED driver (ie, battery charging leds, bluetooth, notification led, wifi led(?))
Note - by disabling the LED driver, the PDA won't be able to disable any currently activate leds, so eg if you're charging up (orange led active), and then run VJImpoto, the orange led will stay on until you soft reset whether you're charging or not.
So run it when you've got no LEDs on, and they'll stay off.
However: this is alpha, because I noticed that the "heartbeat" flash of the phone radio (green flash of led every few seconds) continues despite the LED driver being disabled: clearly that action is activated elsewhere on the system, so it'll need further investigation. However, this app merely disables AllLedMgr, so any flaws with that strategy carry here too.
Command line options:
-showinfo shows info on usage/donations
-debug shows feedback on whether it worked.
-killall killall will first attempt to switch off any active leds, so as discussed above, running VJImpoto -killall will first switch off the orange led, and then disable AllLEDMgr. However, this has the peculiar side effect of making the heartbeat flash now flash on the left green led on the Hermes. I recommend using -killall.
Please give feedback on if it worked for you. I'll make a cab later, .exe only for now.

First and atmost :
THANK YOU VERY MUCH for taking the time investigating and writing a possible solution for my little problem, however how small the problem seems, i have many thanks for you!
Don't have the time right now, but when arriving home it's on the top of my priority list, right below eating
AND WHOW IT WORKS!
For 5 to 10 minutes, then they all start blinking again.....
Here are my findings :
When i shut down all communications, and run the program from pocket-explorer, it works like a charm, even the Phone heartbeat won't blink.
After a period of 5 to 10 minutes however, they start blinking again.
The funny thing is, when i shut down all comunications, they keep blinking!
After a soft reset the situation is like before, as it seems to me, and they blink how they are supposed to, and stop blinking when turned off all communication devices.
I will look for a command line tool, and try it that way, for further examination, and ofcourse for finding the donation part
(by Paypal i assume ?)

flashing lights

Hi
I use my trinity as an alarm clock (as well as the 101 othering things including a phone!)
problem is the flashing lights annoy the hell out of me at night and i have to hide the phone under something to stop the green light acting like a beacon for every one wanting to pass on the right.
the hack turns off the lights but also the vibrate, which I use when in meetings.
Has anyone got or seen a simple tool to turn on or off the lights as required.
thanks in advance.
I lay my phone upside down on my bedside table then you don't see the lights!
Go kill the AllLEDMgr driver in the registry.
All LED will be gone - including normal notification LEDs like missed call or BT
You can couple it with say Mortscript to make a good toggle, only if you don't mind the reboot required.
hacking the reg
Disable flashing service LEDs​
[HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\AllLEDMgr]"Index"=0
Note! Disables vibrating.​As i said the hack stops the vibrate from working and I don't realy want to reboot after modifying the reg.

This is also my method
But I agred with you, it's f***ing annoying that beacons
disabling the vibro don't surprise me at all - circuit wise a vibrator is just like an led so its natural to have turf up with it in the driver.
that said I heard vj was developing a led manipulation tool for the hermes. tyou may want to do a search yourself.

LED

Could someone please advise whether the HD has different LEDs for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth? I can only see the red LED for charging at the top.
I would like to see blue LEd when Bleutooth is on and Green when WiFi is On, just like on previous HTC models
Thank you,
Unfortunately, there are no other LEDs for BT and Wlan. If you turn that on, it is not signaled by an Led.
Thank you!

Many thanks for the confirmation....!
There is also no flashing green LED showing that the Phone is on as there was in the other HTC devices. I miss it because I could find my phone in a dark room.
maybe someone can create settings for it? a little program? especially for the status of the phone being on... would be nice!

I think it might be possible. I remember reading something a long time ago that someone disabled the flashing green light on another HTC device so maybe it can be switched on too.
You're right

LOL...I listen to music using A2DP and the LE light was crucial for me. I used phoneAlarm to try to activate each individual lED to ascertain, to no avail!
I see no point in removing all sort of LEDs; even using the virtual button; I would like to see the green and red lights for the telephone-related buttons when pressed to start and terminate a call. Haptic feedback is not always the best solution.
I guess the battery was so underpowered for the device that HTC opted to remove all lights/LED.
anyone that sees this.. can i make a request and ask if a program can be made or some sort of settings added to the phone to have the led flash to let you know the phone is on? or any other clever things you can come up with. !
thankss

TP2-Keyboard Light & LED

Hi,
I have 2 issues with the TP2...
a) Keyboard Light - can it be set to a different value? Seems it is set to around 10 sec - tried Advanced Config..but that doesnt seem to work..also cudn't find anything in the Registry yet.
b) LED - the LED only seems to work during charging(Red/Green solid) = any program/Registry hack to use the LED for other Options (eg "new Mail" = Red blinking)?
Hope someone has the same issues and found a solution already
Thanks!
Regarding the notification light, you should RTFM. You don't need a hack. By default the notification light will blink green for missed calls, new SMS, and new emails. It'll blink amber for low battery warning.
Yea I would like the keyboard to stay lit longer as well. For the LED notifications make sure you select the "flash light for" in the sounds & notifications settings.
But it will not blink when there is missed call or sms when you are charging the phone though.
I don't have that problem with my previous X1.
LED & Keyboard Light
Hi Guys,
thanks a lot - stupid oversight of mine in reg to the LED
However still looking for the Keyboard Light..I used Advanced Config and set it to 30 sec..but that doesn't seem to work.
Also looked into the Registry but cudn't find anything related there as well.....
Cheers!
What are the reg entries for the LED lights? I would like diff colors as well
yes me too. please post your solution
I doubt the registry will give you different colour apart from the green, amber & red. It's a hardware thing.

I guess its too bad then that the manual doesnt say this functionality is BROKEN.
i had to turn it off as it would continue to blink even after I cleared the notifications.

I've searched and searched for a tweak or mod for that - I would MUCH prefer it blink for alerts / notifications, even when connected. Mine usually sits in the cradle when at home. If the LED blinked for missed calls / messages while in the cradle, I could see that at a glance from across the room, rather than going to it and looking at the screen.
Is there a tweak or mod to force the LED to blink, regardless of connection state? I don't care what color.
Thanks, Folks!

guys google nueLed that might work its an old program that controls the Led in many ways
I've seen references to nueLED, but also read of several issues with it on the newer devices (TP2s in particular.) I'll do some searching later today and see if I can come up with a later version and/or higher confidence level that it won't give me problems.
Thanks for the suggestion! Anybody else?
Well, I managed to do a bit of research about NueLED today. I keep finding too many comments in various threads on various forums that mention problems, particularly on TP2s and even more particularly with WM6.5. Perhaps most are overblown - I honestly don't know. But it's enough to give me pause. Above all else, I need to keep Touchie as stable as he is currently. That said...
Can anybody confirm that NueLED works reliably on the T7373 w/ WM6.5 (official HTC SEA ROM update) with no instability or quirks?
Beyond that, can somebody confirm that NueLED provides an option for the notification LED to blink even when connected to power? That is really my only interest. I'm fine with the current setup & colors, but would like the LED to blink for an alert when the device is in the cradle.
Thanks, as always, for the help and suggestions!
