Hi there y'all,
my xda neo / Prophet is always blinking green while he has got an telephone-connection with my provider and i hate that blinkin light, especially in my bedroom.
Has anyone got an idea how to disable this? Is there any possibility via Registry?
Thanks for any help!
a piece of black tape perhaps?
Try
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\AllLEDMgr\Index
change the value to 0

I used LED Toggle which I attached. It works fine.
You do have to watch out though: disconnect your phone from power or your computer before you activate it. Using it once stops the light and using it again turns it back on.
It looks like the effect is gone after a softreset.
And another thing: some hours after using it my phone didn't respond at all for a few minutes. The only solution was a soft reset. This has happened several times now and when I keep the light on it seems to be working normal again. I don't know if it's just my Prophet but if you encounter the same problem we know where it's coming from.

Thanks Jay, your little program works perfect. I'll see if i'll get the same problem and report it here
niketkumar, thanks for your help. I first try Jays Software, if i get the same problems i'll use your registry hack.
Thanks to both of you from my girlfriend, too - cause now it's less greener in our bedroom
So? Any news?
I stopped using the software and my phone hasn't crashed once. How's yours behaving?
Had the exact same problem, when using LED Toggle my device occasionally hangs. Since I stopped using it everything works just fine..
Man, that just sucks. I was so happy to be rid of that stupid light.
Now about that registry hack. I can find everything up to "\builtin" but the rest (AllLEDMgr\Index) doesn't exist. Do I have to create a new folder with an index file which has the value set to 0 or what?
Don't remember if I've tried the registry hack mentioned above, but I followed the thread about this issue in Modaco and tried numerous registry hacks before ending up with the only solution (that I'm aware of) that currently seems to work.
Which, unfortunately is the LED Toggle attached above, which in hand makes your device quite unstable..
So, back to the drawing board guys - hope someone finds a solution!
Just checked the corresponding thread on Modaco (http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=243948&st=0) and indeed this solution is not working flawlessly on our beloved Prophets..
Why not just place it face down on your dresser at night?
this has to be one of the dumbest hack request on the site!!! do as blunt man said and put it face down if it's that annoying!

this has to be one of the dumbest comments i ever got in an professionals-board.
Jayxz, any of the workarounds i found generated problems so i just painted the light black. Not really the best solution but it sucked so badly
I find the green light annoying too, but i'd still like to have the orange warning when i received a msg or missed a call....
I hope that somebody could find a working solution for this
You can try the attached File i found at the MoDaCo Forum.
It works on my Prophet but some Users told that it drains the Battery

Hi to All,
my HTC TYTN II always blinking green while he has got on phone-connection with my provider, and i love that. But now i have xperia and...no blinking on phone connection. It is possible to made it blinking when phone connection with provider is on
Alright, so i have a telus diamond, and when somebody calls (most of the time) i press ANSWER (the big green button) and all it does is silence the ringer, and it won't start the conversation, i wait until the person on the other line finally hangs up then i gotta call them back, this has happend previously so i brought it to telus, they gave me a new one and its happening again!!! i cant see why? the only programs i have that change settings is Diamond Tweak, and i've looked several times, and i barely changed anything in it. Can somebody help me? I'd rather not bring it to them again and seem like the boy who cried diamond
Are you sure you are actually are hitting the green answer button, and not the "silence call" button? THey are quite close. Check it out.
no, i see the button flash, and i've tried pushing the hardware button as an alternative, but its still unsuccessfull most times
I had this issue as well. I did a swap and am still having the issue. I'm going to try a hard-reset at some point and then just monitor it to see if it continues to happen.
If it does, back to Telus to see what they can do for me.
Hmm.. now that U mention is, I have it too.
Mine's bought during launch in Singapore. It happens once in a while, but I didn't bother finding a solution to that.
Sounds like the same problem I had: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430980
Post #7 was a suggestion I tried. It apparently solved the problem for me.

there's a huge thread on the sprint forum about this problem too...
this problem is extremely annoying... and nobody seems to know the cause..
Wow, i guess i'm not the only one, thats good i sopose, i'd rather not bring it back to them and get a third diamond... i'm thinking of maybe finding out about getting a totally different phone... i love the diamond, but its pissing me off, not only that, it gets right slow sometimes... maybe im too hard on it, i dont know... but all they have at telus for ppc is HTC Touch (elf) and Htc touch dual i think...

Welcome tot he forum
Hoping that is not a hardware related problem I would do a reflash to try to solve it
Read in the Wiki on how to
Hope it helped,
That happens one day in the car travelling home that the sound suddly stop working i restart the xda and everything (not reflash) but nothing work i will try to reflash it because i think is not a hardware problem
is the first time i try to reflash my pda but i have a problem when i try to downgrade it that shows error 260 and i dont know how to fix it
ok, i fix the problem with upgrade xD my english is not good at all and i missunderstand some of the instructions, but after read 100k of threats and 5 hours trying things now is upgrading to tomal rom i hope that this will fix the problem i had before
after reflashing the ce two times the sound is still not working, i am updating now the radio from 1.09 to 1.15, the stereo speakers make a little bit of noise when a sound is played, the headphones dont work, the phone speaker works propertly, and the microphone works but only send the voice to the phone speaker ¿? i dont know why happens this last thing
radio updated and the problem continues anybody can help?
I think it´s a hardware related problem
Try to take it to a repair center
Good luck,
I have the same problem. When a sound is played it just clicks and that's all. I had a problem with my ribon cable and I took it out. I've done that before (it's my second cable failing), so I knew what I was doing. I was off for a about a month untill I got a now cable. When I put it back together, I had no sound, just that click thing. I can't take it to a repair center. If anyone has a solution, please share.
I also found that my camera does not work. It says Failed to initialize camera. 36001:100:1. I tried a different rom, but still have the problem.
Also I tried to make a phone call (I'm not using it as a main phone, that's why I just found that out) and I can hear the other person, but they can't hear me.

i also check my camera after reading your comment and i also have the same problem, next month (because this month i will travel and i cant do it) i will send it to repair a tell you what the solution could be
PD: orb3000 muchas gracias por ser tan atento
I have good news. Something happened. I dont know what i did... but i got my sound back (and camera. main camera at least).
As you I flashed the rom, then the radio rom and I still got the problem. So I thought I'll leave it like that untill I find a solution. And I thought.. well i can at least play some games on it and I downloaded Archibald. I put it on the phone. Started it and ?! I had sound. Again I dont know if I did something before that, but I got it working. I'll attach the game, maybe it did something. Give it a try.
Again I have no idea what I did. It might have some bad connections somewhere. I remember I had the same problem (either with the Universal or the Wizard) but dont remember how I fixed it.
Here is a link for the game:
i install it but the miracle didnt happens i also will try to remove the battery it have on the motherboard to make a cmos clear (like in a normal computer). Lucky you i will keep trying
I'm sorry to hear that. I didn't if it matters but my small mb battery is dead. Apperantly it died during the month the battery was out. Everything works except that when I do a soft reset, the clock resets too.
I have these problems too, does anyone know the specification of the mobo battery?
I have the sound problem but mine doesnt work even with headphones in and i also have a problem with the keys being activated when the screen is in a certain position. Could all of these problems be casued by the ribbon cable?Rob
As far as my expirience goes with the ribon cable, it commands the touch, the lcd, mic, speaker on the lcd part. the keyboard has it's own cable. and it snaps to the motherboard. maybe it's loose or something. For the battery I got http://cgi.ebay.com/Dopod-D900-900-T-mobile-MDA-IV-Qtek-9000-backup-Battery_W0QQitemZ350170469398QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGPS_Accessories_Cablesthis on ebay. But mine looks a little different.
also happens to me when i make a soft reset the clock also restart could be all because the mb battery is dead?
OK, we are getting somewhere Since my sound got back, whenever I reset I get to keep my current time. So maybe my mb battery fixed itself or charged.
I am pretty sure now that is what's causing the problems. If you could disassemble your pda, try playing with the battery. See if it is not loose or something. Try to short-circut it. Get a something form metal and touch both pins. Also try leaving your PDA charging over night.
I hope you fix it since I cant seem to find that kind of battery over the internet.
Hello - I've been searching these forums and the wiki and Google too looking for a solution to this but so far, can't find a solution so hope members here can help:
I recently got another XDA Exec and a week ago, the phone mic stopped working. I know its not a hardware problem as the phone can record my voice for notes.
I've done a few hard resets and each time, nothing changes, so am truly baffled.
I'd be very grateful for any answers to this, and apologise in advance if I have missed an answer that has already been posted - I have tried searching, honest!
Cheers,
JB

Try another ROM...perhaps?
I could do, but before I attempt anything like that - something I've not done before - I wanted to figure out how to remedy it with the existing ROM, which is the O2 one installed without all of O2's own stuff.
It was working perfectly well with this ROM before....in fact the only thing I can think of that might somehow have caused this was me pairing the XDA with a bluetooth handsfree set the same day. It might just be coincidence, it might not - I can't tell.
I suppose what I'm hoping for is some guidance re any settings on the device that I don't know about that have caused this, or the necessary registry edit to remedy the problem. Its odd that the phone mic worked before then stopped working, despite hard resets with the same ROM. Forgive my naivety, but I thought ordinary user-level tweaks didn't affect the core settings of the ROM....or am I wrong?
Cheers,
JB
PS - Lower Hutt! I remember seeing it through the mist one day after catching the ferry from the South Island before heading off to Cuba Street for a boozy afternoon...
Yup, got exactly the same problem before buying my HD.
I thinked that my micro was dead and didn't try to fix it before.
Just now i got here to search another rom to test and i saw this thread highlighted
The rom on my universal is TOMAL 8.0 or more i don't exactly remember the version, what's yours ?
I will download another version to check if the micro will be alright and give some feedback

Could be a range of reasons, from some program install or addition to the software set to files going missing. Trying a new ROM or reflashing with the original (but believe me, once you try new WM6.1 You'll probably never go back) might be one of the solutions. Flashing of ROM is a piece of cake, however, I recommend reading as much as possible on the procedure and ways to remedy the unexpected situations before you begin. Everything you may possibly need and answers to all your questions is contained in a Wiki - have a look and ask questions if you cannot find answers and are completely stuck.
Heh, Lower Hutt is on the opposite side of the harbour, coming from SI.
I reflashed with TOMAL 8.9 and micro works very well now
i readed too fast yesterday and didn't see that you're using the original rom, like enigma1nz suggest you, i suggest you too to try a 6.1 rom, it's really great and improve a lot the speed/touch felling/etc for the universal.
Plus it's really easy to flash a rom, it's not necessery to read a lot of documentation,
you just need to connect your universal to pc with activesync (4.5)
and launch the exe file from the rom
How to start a small Earthquake with your Touch Pro 2.
Step 1: Go to Settings, and set Phone to either Vibrate, Vibrate and Ring or Ring then Vibrate.
Step 2: Have someone call the same device that was set to vibrate and be prepared to hold on to something!
Yes. This was sarcasm Sorry if it wasn't your type of humor, but I just wanted to get across the fact that the vibration for the Touch Pro 2 (for Sprint at least) is insane. If my Ringer Volume isn't at it's max, the vibration will drown out the sound for the Ringer.
Also, if I'm in class (I'm a college student) and I have it set to vibrate, every single person in the class knows I have a call/text. A little ridiculous with the class is about 70 people.
I've posted a thread on PPC Geeks and people have similar problems, but no luck finding a fix and/or making a fix. Anyone here feel the same way?
Anyone know of a fix or can maybe experiment on a fix?
(Again, sorry if this wasn't funny, I thought I could add a little humor to the issue, lol)

Here's the right fix: don't have your phone on during class -- listen to the prof instead (some humour and sarcasm back atcha).
I'm just going to assume there is no fix. lol
I seem to remember some time ago, when searching for Touch Pro (1) Tweaks, that there was a registry key that could be edited to change the vibration level. Who knows, it may still work. Though if you find it and you go that route, be sure to read all instructions. If it doesn't work, then you will either have to edit it back to the original, or delete the key (in the event that the key was not there). In extreme cases, you might have to do a factory reset, so backing up is reccomended (Microsoft Myphone is good for backing up nearly all unrecoverable things, like address book, pics, documents, texts, etc.
As I rarely have vibrate turned on, I haven't really run into this problem, yet. But this may be a solution worth looking into.

If anyone could do that, it would be bloody effing awesome. I've been looking everyday, searching in threads for any fixes but nothing. I've tried myself a little bit but I'm not a...expert, lol at the whole registry things.
Ha! Same thing happens to me in class so I just set it on silent and deal with not being notified of anything. I've never had a phone vibration that actually startled me, but it happens.
There's a couple of registry fixes I've seen for this, it never really bothered me. I just open my phone up like a laptop and put it on silent when I'm at work.. if anything comes up it shows up on the screen.
I'm sorry I can't actually provide you with those registry fixes, you'll have to spend a night searching through the forums or google.
BUT http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-vibro.html
This program here might help change the vibrate pattern making it not as long of a vibrate cause I know my text messages do a solid vibrate for a good 2-3 seconds it feels like..
Hope this helps.

lmao very good question. Maybe a very good answer is that the vibration wakes me up! lol
Solution: Silent :O
Don't forget this is a "business" phone and as such people like to pretend to be being considerate by switching their phone to vibrate but still want people in the room to know how important they are in that they are being contacted all through the meeting.
Sarcasm aside I would say the vibrate on mine (T-Mo TP2) is weak to say the least. Often don't notice its vibrating... So if you find a setting, I'd like to ramp mine up!

Maybe there was sarcasm meant back, but not sure it should be classified as "a little less productive" as, seriously, why do you need the vibrate active in class anyway and can't just switch it to silent?
LOL...yea good sarcasim! I cant put my phone in vib during meetings either, just too loud. But I think it is the truth in most of the pda phones! Best way to deal with this is put in silent.
wow to think this is a problem is kinda funny. i totally understand how the loudness would be a problem for some but for the first time in a long time with a mobile phone i can have the device set on vibrate and actually know the device is vibrating. last time i could use effective vibration setting was back in the RIM 950/957 days maybe even older skytel pager days....
good luck in your search and if you find a way to make it even stronger send the info my way

Did anyone have success with the .cab?
I'm also seeking a way to immediately toggle to SILENT instead of VIBRATE using Rhodium Keyboard Controller - but to no avail. Help anyone?
Got a new Telus TP2 here, and I came across this thread looking for a way to BUMP UP the vibration. I've missed every call since I've got this phone because the vibrate is almost unnoticeable... compared to my titan which gave me a jolt when it vibrated.
Anyway, to be helpful, I am going to suggest you guys look into PhoneAlarm ( hxxp://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html ) , which I used on my titan... I think it has settings to make the vibrate longer or shorter (Custom LED color / vibrate pattern per alarm ). I would have checked it before I posted, but it may be a while before I get around to playing with it. Good luck all.
For me it's always been more of a good thing than a bad thing.... Especially when I'm at the mall or somewhere loud and I'm moving. A weak vibration just isn't cutting it. So yeah, you should probably just go to silent mode if it's too strong for your liking. Not too hard to figure out.
