Ok, I really love my mogul. Had it for about a month now, everything runs great except if I see that f***ng blinking light one more time, I might actually lose my mind. My friends think I'm crazy for letting it bother me, but I ask how can it NOT bother you? Anyway, I've tried all of the below things and had mixed results. If anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know.
LED killer 2.0. This seemed to work ok for awhile. It runs too inconsistently for me though. Some days it's good for most of the day, some times when my phone comes out of sleep the phone taunts me with its green light.
LED 1, me 0
LED killer 3.0. This did really well actually. 2 big problems though. One is that is seemed to suck the ever-loving life out of my battery. Two is that I still get the green light of death when I get e-mails, txt messages, vm's,...etc. I know some people want to retain that functionality but not me. I even went into the notification section on the phone and UN-checked the box for blinking light notification for the above mentioned events. I guess that box doesn't do anything.
LED 2, me 0
PPC 6800 hacks (triangle powers software package). Oh my god, the light is off! This is amazing! All my dreams have finally been realized, life is beautiful....oh wait, how come my phone didn't vibrate when my buddy just called me? WTF? How is vibrate mode tied to the F-in blinking LED??? As my phone stays in vibrate mode pretty much all day long, this was a quick un-install and back to the forums....
LED 3, me 0
Hermled. I just found this one today. The only issue seemed to be that you had to select "OK" on a prompt when the phone was reset (soft). I can live with that. Too bad when I got my first new e-mail, that apparently let the LED overpower this oh so weak application and it's blinking its little heart out right now.
LED 4, me 0 and questioning my technical ability.
I also tried to sharpie over the LED itself but you can still see it flash. Also, the sharpie marker wore off.
Sorry for the long post, but as mentioned above, I will be forever grateful to anyone that can help me defeat the evil blinking green monster. I'm seriously about ready to take the phone apart and smash the LED to pieces. Although, I bet it would still after I did that as it appears to be indestructible
have you tried LED killer 3.1? That is what I use.
Yeah, it's what I'm using right now. Do you have crappy battery life with it though? My battery life is pretty bad with it on. Also, it doesn't kill the e-mail, txt notifications. I'm looking for complete destruction of the LED.
Thanks for your reply though.
nope don't have battery drain with it. Installed to device and no problems. Do you have under sounds and notifications, the check boxes for email, text etc flash light unchecked? That solved that problem for me.
Ever thought about taking an exacto to it?
Just a thought...
All this talk about the annoying blinking LED is actually making me annoyed with my blinking LED...I wasn't bother by it before, but I am now...dammit!

Really?? I have that un-checked. In fact, there's no event that has "flash light" checked. I had the same behavior with the old rom as well as the new one. I was hoping it was a bug that they would've fixed.

Sorry Crashless! I didn't mean to bring others down with me
I'm about to take an exacto to it! I just don't want to mangle my brand new phone.
There's a registry hack that turns the LED off for everything but charge status but you lose vibration. It was worth it to me, blinking lights drive me bat**** and I am also not the type to mutilate a $550 phone with sharpies and knives. Do a search on the forums for Alled mgr I believe. If nothing else: Registry, LED. You'll find it.
I also removed all LED Killer iterations and went with the reg tweak. Sanity restored
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\AllLEDMgr
Change Index from 1 to 0
i did the registry edit and it didnt work. i used CERegEditor and even did a soft reset and it was blinking when it came back on. dammit.
lobo did you quit the reg editor before doing a soft reset? Registry editing is weird in that you have to quit the application for the effect to take place or you have to wait a period of time, it's just easier to quit the application.
thanks for the reg edit tip! say goodbye to that annoying led!
led killer 3.1 worked for me, and i was having many of the same problems you were. stupid led light blinking all the time was driving me batty. i couldn't deal with it. it reminded me of homer's alarm that went off every 10seconds, unless something was wrong...retarded.
I did the registry edit:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\AllLEDMgr
Change Index from 1 to 0and it worked fine on my Sprint Mogul 6800.
Could you have another program that is installed or
running that has notification alerts that are preventing
this from working...? (Wow that was a long sentence. )

I would imagine that a well applied drop of jet black nail polish would subdue the led. It's not fancy and not a registry hack but since nail polish is thick, it will likely not shine through.
Just a suggestion...
Applying nail polish would also render all other notification LEDs (missed call, new messages, etc) useless. LED Killer only kills the green flashing LED, and all other LED notifications will still work as usual.

Ah. I see. So LED Killer can specifically target certain notification flashes or just the flashing green? I was suggesting this as an alternative for the guy whom was thinking about taking a xacto knife to his LED...

LED Killer 3.1 can only target the green flashing service LED. If you wanted to modify the mortscripting, you could make it kill the orange flashing notification LEDs too, but that's about it.
Anyone konw of a program to turn the charge orange Led and button button backlights off? I have to say when working in the dark with the phone charging that damn orange charge led is blinding.
Thanks

When you turn on the switch, does the top-left LED blink green?
Also, what happens in the Comm Manager when you turn on the Wi Fi switch?

What do you mean? which switch, the wifi switch? no lights come on when I switch on Wifi...
When I turn Wifi on and off, The Comm Managers "Flight Mode" Button Turns on And Off... But thats when PHONE is also off... If phone is on, and I switch Wifi on/off, nothing happens
Sounds like you might have a broken switch or a bad wifi chip.
No....
I'm pretty sure the switch is fine.... even if the switch was broken, I could turn wifi on and off manually...
I'm not exactly sure why the wifi chip would be bad... The phone is almost new....
I'm asking for any fixes or any programs for my pocket pc that might fix this? I really don't want to mess with the hardware...
I'm pretty sure its the software anyway...

I think Drewcam may be right. If your switch (and there is only one switch on our phones - the WiFi switch) does not cause the top-left LED to blink green, and activating WiFi in the Comm Manager doesn't do it either, there is something really wrong. You may want to try flashing back to stock. And if that doesn't work, bring it to your carrier's store because you have a broken part of the phone.
I have the exact same problem and the exact same result with the "fix"....
Um....
Well, there is a green LED that flashes every few seconds, but it flashes even when Wifi is OFF...
I'm going to try to reflash to stock rom, anyone have a link to it?
I have semi-good news!
I reflashed to verizons stock rom, and after a hour or two, I checked my phone, and It had found my router (and two green LEDs were flashing) ... I could not connect because the security key was wrong, and soon after, I lost the connection...
A few minutes after that, it detected my router again... and lost it again....
Is this a good sign? The wifi started working randomly, and it stopped working randomly, I'm beginning to think there may be a loose connection...

It sounds as if you have a broken WiFi switch, but I'm glad you had it working temporarily. If you can get it to stay in the "on" position, then you can use the software to turn it on/off. Unfortunately, it doesn't work if the switch is stuck on "off".
I don't use it very often, but my NFC doesn't work. When I try to turn it on in the quick settings it switches green but its a darker green, not like the rest. And it stays that way. If I go through the settings its marked as off, and I can't even turn it on if I wanted to. Here are some screenshots of what it looks like.
I've flashed the ROM before so it's not a problem with anything like, could it just be my phone?
Edit: I guess its marked as on but I can't turn it off. ( meant to do this earlier but. I have to wait 5 minutes before I can edit I guess. )
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Free mobile app
same problem here.
changed nfc_nci.msm8960.so but still not working.
guys my s4 i9500 is running ozcan rom
my wifi stopped working today
when i drop down notification panel and click on wifi i turns light green not full green
and remains like that and wifi does not turn on and then after thirty seconds the wifi button goes off
i have even did a clean install to fix this
also noticed the same problem for bluetooth
plz can someone tell me how can i fix this as i have to leave out of town and i really need my device
I would go back to stock ROM. If the problem persists, you may have a hardware problem.
I tried looking everywhere but was unable to find a solution so maybe someone here knows what's going on. I have the blue light filter set to turn on and off via sunset/sunrise. However, when I leave it like this the filter turns on at 6:20pm everyday without fail. I don't know when it turns off but I assume it is in the early hours of the morning when I am asleep. I can set it to a manual time and that works fine, but I don't want to keep changing it every week for the rest of my life...
I have location setting turned on - I never turn location off. I'm not sure why it is stuck at 6:20pm, so any help would be appreciated!
