Isn't the flashing green light supposed to flash amber if there's a missed call or unread text message? I know this used to be the case when I had the Vario 1 (Wizard), so wondering whether my Vario 2 (hermes) isn't working properly.
or maybe you just dont have it set to do that?
silly me... I had this set on my old phone for so long I forgot that it's not a default setting. Sorted out now. Thanks.
May I ask what software did you use for this?
You don't need software, just go to start, settings, sounds & notification, choose the notifications tab, and then from the drop down list, select the event you want to have a flashing amber light for (e.g. Phone: Missed Call), tick the box 'Flash light for' and choose the length of time.
Mine flashes amber all the time. I do have those settings enabled, but it never has flashed green, although it glows greenwhen fully charged. Ideas?

Hi Dave!
Same problem here, under sound & notifications tick box for flash light for (No Limit) and then you received a sms and red light comes on for a short time and then goes back to green! So I can confirm you are not an idiot! :wink: Hopefully some one will come up with a patch :lol:

Hi, i've had my XDAII from O2 for 3 weeks now and have a few questions.
This morning when I woke up the XDAII's power/charge light was 'red'. According to my O2 manual, it's 'amber' when charging, 'green' when fully charged, and 'green flashing' when phone is on.
I pressed the Power Button and the XDAII sprang to life as usual, no apparant problems (ie no error messages or anything).
Any clues what red signifies, have searched but not found any answers yet.
Many thanks in advance.
PS device has latest O2 UK ROM (v1.60.50).
it means you missed a call.
i found it to be an extremely good addition over the XDA, in that you don't have to turn your device on to see if anyone called you. You'll also see a phone+exclamation mark on your taskbar. The red light will disappear when that icon is clicked.
I'm not sure if this also happens when the caller does not transmit their number.
so:
Green non-blinking = on cradle, fully charged
Yellow non-blinking = on cradle, charging
Green flashing = device on
Red flashing = missed call
Adding to this, it is not set up by default to flash red when you have received an SMS or mms.
But you can change this behaviour from the Sounds and Notifications options on the device.
And this is much more handy, in that you can then send a text to a friend, switch your phone 'off' (i.e. power off the screen etc), and only a glance at it is necessary later, to know if you have had a reply or not.
Great in noisy environments, or in a car etc.
Red Light Stays on even after dismissing reminder
I have my XDAII set up to display the RED light for a reminder (An Alarm). However, if an alarm goes off while I am away from my XDAII then the red light remains on even after I dismiss the reminder. In other words it is not resettign to Green. The only way to reset it is to do a Soft reset. HAs anyone had the same problem or have a solution?
yah I've had the same problem that my red light stays on after an alarm goes off, really annoying that you have to soft reset or play around in the the notification settings and then it disappears
Hi guys!
Sometimes on my Jam the yellow led is always on...
I'm sure to not have message to read or active appointments...
The only workaround is to do a softreset! :-(
FOr example:
yesterday the led was green... an appointment reminder appens with sound notification (dinner from 20 to 23).
The PDA was turned off but the notification ring sound and the led became yellow. The display was still off.
I turn the pda on and I see the bell symbol on the bottom right corner.... I tap on it and I see the reminder for my appointment.
After that the led don't becomes green!
I tryed to show the appointment in the calender ecc... but the led was stilll yellow.
I'm not expert and I thinked that the led will be green after the 23pm when my appointment will be ended...
This morning the led was still f..... yellow!!!
I made soft reset and now it's ok but I don't understand why!
How does the reminder notifications works?
Are you using phonealarm or alarmtoday?
I've noticed sometimes the only way to cancel the yellow led is to load the sms/email app (ie check your messages), regardless of what caused the yellow led, and whether or not you have a new message.
Anyone concur?

I installed PohoneAlarm but i removed it and now I'm usign PPCProfilePro...
I've noticed the led anomalies and the only cure I've come up with is to soft reset.
whenever the yellow gets stuck i go to settings->sounds & notifications
then click on notification tabs then sounds tab then notification tab again..
that should bring back the green led

I remember that! :lol: 8)
The bug must be from windows mobile. If you, when getting a notification popup, tap a button and hold it until the LED did blink once again and then release the button, the bug shouldn't appear. The solution I use is to restrict the blinking to a certein time period, I think you can set it to 90 minutes or something. I use PocketZenPhone to set this. Therefore, whenever this bug appears, it's gone after 90 minutes.
Hello everyone - I'm new to this forum, and the world of Windows-powered phones in general. Still figuring out what my new Touch 3G (Jade) can really do!
One question to start with - in the old days, my Ericsson T68i flashed the green LED occasionally to let me know it was still switched on. Is there any way to get the Jade to do this?
I'm wondering the same thing and still figuring this out. Wish the manual was more helpful.
What I've learned so far is the LED if off under normal operation. It flashes green when there's a missed call or SMS waiting to be read. No LED for Bluetooth On. That's as far as I know.
I'm disappointed about missing network coverage led, missing bluetooth and gps led status...But i'm wondering, if i take a closer look at my jade it seems to be 2 leds, i'm wrong?
The "second one" is a light detector . Did you notice automatic backlight setting?
Jade does not flash for GSM, BT, WiFi, GPS. It only flashes for reminders, missed calls and messages.
But actually, I like it more. If I see LED flashing, there is something which needs my attention. You can see the active networks on the display status area.
There is flashing for battery low status as well

Translate from a Dutch device:
Go to Settings => Sounds
Click Advanced
Click Tab: Notifications
And there you can set your Touch 3G aka Jade flash for diverent notifications.
In the top pull-down menu choose wathever you want and then select if you want a screennotification and/or a flashing LED.
Sincerely,
I cant understand.Where is that setting for the LED ?
When you've reached the menu Tom pointed out, just use the pull down menu tha'ts next to 'event' (translated from dutch, anyway...first line) for lets say 'new text message' there you can choose if you want to use the led and/or the notification on your screen.

Anyone knows if the green light can be flashed when in Stand-by mode?
Really want to make it flashes since it's hard to tell if it's in stand by mode or switched off...

I'm not really sure if the LED can be flashed when in standby mode, I think the reason for this is to make the battery life longer
Thx for your reply.
I'm still looking for a solution to make the light flashes when stand by...
It's really hard to tell if it's in Stand-by or switch off...
Can't find any clue with the Registry...
Hope there's a solution...

Did you perform a word search in the registry
try a search on "led" maybe you can find some keys
Maybe nueLED could help.
Search it in the forum.
Hello at all,
How does the LED notofication work on your device?
I use K9-Mail. there I have the option to set LED notification on. But nothing happens.
It should work for SMS (handcent) and K-9 (E-Mail)...
Is there a way to fix this?
hm, seems that it blinks 2, 3 times and thats it... what is the benefit of the light which blinks 0,8 seconds?!
next funny thing:
device is in standby, mail delivers, it rings, vibrates and the LED blinks 2 times. Then I reactivate the phone and the LED blinks one more time...
Is it such a big problem to get such basic function works. We have now Android Version 2.2 on the phone. so they had enogh time to develop this... or is this a problem ob Motorola...?
Mhh I never saw it being a problem. Whenever theres a mail, message, missed call it blinks green to a set timing. On WhatsApp, you have the possibility to set it to any colour you want. That only works if you have your phone rooted.. so that way, my phone now blinks purple for a WhatsApp message.
By the way... sometimes when u have a message and you turn the display off/lock it without reading it, then theres one longer led blink but then goes back to the normal pattern, I guess just to remind you before you put the phone away that there is actually an event that u missed. Theres a program called "Blink" on the AppsMarket where you can customize a colour for every event... if thats something you are looking for ?
