Is there a way to stop/disable the flashing lights, particularly the one on the right hand side of the unit?
...my wife hates them flashing and I cannot keep the device in the bedroom at night!!!
Easy one this to solve, move the wife out of the bedroom
I have been looking for a long time for registry hack or a button to disable her alltogether, or to the very least turn off the Voice/sound function, but to date I could not figure it out!!!
Is there anyone out there who can help. I am sure there are millions of men who would be willing to pay for the solution.
My god yes, im so glad im not the only one the wife goes mental with the falshing lights at night
Why not use an indellible marker to paint them out, or for a less "permanent" solution, use a couple of pieces of black insulation tape?
Cheers,
Steve.
put it in a thick winter sock to hide the flash?
Tweaks2k2 was always good at this, unfortunatly it doesn't support turning the LEDs off on the Universal yet.
I'm sure it will only be a matter of time though.

The wife cant moan at me as her phone is a samsung e720 which has a really strong blue screen glow.
Anyway if she does moan I wont let her use it in bed when she wants to check her ebay :wink:
Put it on charge, noticed last night that lights stop flashing and only orange charge light comes on and does not flash while on charge.

The bluetooth light still flashes though :wink:
Then disable bluetooth
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Builtin\AllLEDMgr" should be the control strings for the LEDs
Try to change something there
BalooDK is correct.
Whilst doing some research for VJElectrify yesterday, I came across this aswell.
I really don't recommend it, but navigate to
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Builtin\AllLEDMgr"
and rename the dll value "AllLEDMgr.dll" to "AllLEDMgr.dllVJ".
Ensure the value has been set and soft reset. Ta da! No leds.
However, highly unrecommended since you can't tell when bluetooth is on.
Obviously rename to original name to reverse this effect.
There are other less invasive ways to achieve this, but this seems to work well.
NOTE I strongly recommend you export this registry branch before modifying it. You can cause problems in this area of the registry by accident. It's also easier to just import back the old settings when the wife is out of sight!

I tried editing above registry value and the lights stoped.
But after a while ... The lights start flashing again ...
I really really don't understand how.
Then I tried to delete the whole "DLL" Value. After a soft reset, the lights where gone. But again back after a while ...
How is this possible. Does WM5.0 have ARR? (Automatic Registry Rebuilder
P.S. Where is the .dll in explorer? Not in my Windows or system dir.
Need to make VJSTFU-woman One day...

Hey!
me and vijay555 are trying to solve the wife problem very hard, for some time now...
It seems, that at first, the project should be renamed to "Kill wife" instead of "Kill lights".
There seems to be a solution for that...
buzz
Try applying the Gucci_HandBag_v0.5 patch. I find that it provides a temporary solution.
However, as Buzz says, we've found better results by twisting her display area back on itself a couple of times. Her buttons will seem to light up, but the rest of the unit will provide adequate functionality without the irrating bugs. Just don't forget to enable the HKLU > IHaveAnAlibi registry setting first :wink:

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,

hello guys., still no way to use the wizard as flashlight? tnx in advance, -storm
Is this what you want?
http://www.vijay555.com/index.php?Releases:VJCandela
Be careful with it though. I've heard people have ruined the camera flash by over using this. Vijay555 has even modified the page to say it will damage your flash led...
Personally I just set my screen to not go off for 2 minutes, and that works as a really bright flashlight Sure, uses more power, but I"M not using it for long periods of time usually.
thanks but this isn't working for the wizard
i know vj was at working about this some months ago but i didn't receive any news about it.....so i'm guessing still no way to use our lovely wizard as torch

It always amazes me what kind of needs people have! The WIZ makes a quite expensive flashlight. Every key chain pocket flash light has better light and is more handy to use!

I'm sorry to report, but Orange will now be shipping out devices with an Orange ROM. No Google Earth, changed quick-app icons and who knows what other modifications... I couldn't find any... Well, there's a GPS Settings thing, but it only shows about Assisted GPS which I'm sure I saw in the other ROM.
Still comes with an 8GB Transcend memory card and nothing extra in the box. If you're getting one in the next few weeks, make sure the barcode at the top says GHTN. If it says OHTN, it's the Orange ROM.
google earth??
Why do orange ruin perfectly good phones? They also did it to S60 Nokia's which is why ive avoided orange for the last 6 years.
Orange are alright but their ROM-faffing is just an exercise in self-importance that is not appreciated.
so mess with the rom and terrible web browsing limits
I'm happy to report that I just received my orange HD (ordered the other day when they came back in stock on the web shop) and it's not got a messed up ROM (box has the GHTN code as described above). As far as I can tell there is no orange branding anywhere at all. Makes me think that the current batch might be with stock ROMs ... get your order in quick ???
Orange recieved 5000 new phones a week monday ago. about 3 days ago they were available for delivery. mine was one of them and its only orange branding is the rear cover. and TBH this in not an issue as i like the logo on the cover. the rom is standard with all the trimings....
Once again
Google Earth????
If you buy from CarPhoneWarehouse you will get unbranded and unlocked.
Even on an Orange contract.
I've no idea how long this will last though.
Ah yes, forgot about the little orange logo on the rear cover. So it's "no orange branding anywhere at all ... except for the logo", though I was actually thinking about the software rather than the hardware when I wrote that.
Info update
Don't worry about the hadset being Orange Battered... sorry, i mean branded (lol) to much folks. If you haven't been snooping aroung the development side of the forum that much, let me bring you up to speed.
The Hard SPL is out. I just change my ROM (as you'll see on my signature) without any worry whatsoever.
The odd thing is, i never had an Orange ROM on mine. I had a standard one and i HAD to change it for one simple reason... something i advise all people to do as a matter of fact.
Why? Well during texting, stylus or hand input, the thing would freeze more that a very sick penguin. It was AWFUL
Have a peek at other ROM's that are about and if you need advice, ask about. I'm no expert but if you ask me, i'll try my best. It really was very very easy following Oli's Hard SPL thread.
Anyway, i've said my bit now. The rest as they say... is up to you!
TheShowStopper
There's a hotfix on the HTC support site to fix the freezing problem on all ROMs < 1.19.
If you don't want to go the Hard SPL route, surely you can flash the older Orange ROM? (That's what I've got and it not been Orangized.)

I can confirm the following. As long as you have the Micorsoft Net Framework on your pc, yes, you can flash any HTC ROM to the HD. I have just done this. See the following post of mine.

why
hi I am a complete nooby to WM (switched from an iphone).
My Orange box has the OHTN on so I guess I have the Orange Rom (as no google maps).
To be honest I find the HD to be quite slow when opening programs and seems a bit buggy as it seems to stutter on some operations
Whats the benefits for me of changing this ROM??

Hey there!
Havent you just answered your own question?
The benifts of changing the rom would be google maps (although a simple download could also fix that)
Also a handset that isnt buggy and stutters!
I have the orange ROM
didn't realise orange had been sending them out with HTC ROMs!
bluetooth is faulty
programs open slowly
blimmin opera has orange's naff front page
am loath to flash a proper ROM unless the bluetooth fault is
hardware and then I'd have to cover my tracks before sending it back
any help would be appreciated

as being new to WM devices and not that knowledgeable what rom do i go for and if i install one will i lose everything i have installed on my phone so far?
i really like the HD but it just seems slow and stuttery compared to the iphone, hopefully a new ROM will fix this? right?

You need to have a little patience, trying new roms out and tweaking - my handset is very fast now, it plays most video files I throw at it and gui operation i.e touch flo 3d and windows is about twice the speed of the stock rom...

Hi, What rom do you have flashed to yours and Is it possible to backup old rom just incase? Am not new to flashing actually, i just really need a fast device, maybe google map and some other little programs, pimbackup, etc.
Hello to ya all,greetings and respect
I have a ORANGE SPV M5000 for some 9 months now or so,i bought it new decoded from some other network,and i'm very very happy and satisfied with it and all the software that comes on regular basis for it
But when i bought it one thing i didn't realise at all,i saw it later home but then it was too late. For refund or anything ofc. I got used to it for all this time but anyway i would like to know what it is,would be nice if it's fixable,but i doubt that The thing is : on the screen,there is this red vertical line from top to bottom,in the left half of the screen.it's mostly visible on black backgrounds,not so much on other colors. does anyone maybe know,is the screen ****ed up,or maybe a software mess while decoding the phone ? And if so,is it in any way fixable. At least i would be at peace,knowing why that is. On it it's the original wm5,i never had guts to try upgrade to wm 6. Cuz my fiancee lives in anither country still and i use IM+ over gprs almost 24/7 to be in touch,so i can't risk to lose that lifesaving option.
Thank you all in advance !!

not sure but i guess its a problem with the screen, you should check the cables that connect the screen to the mb, maybe that fixes the problem...

Thank you for your very very fast reply. As soon as i saw it,i opened my PPC carefully and checked there the connector stuff,but with no changes,so at least i know it is not that. Thank you very much again for your quick help
First time opening,but very easy to open the PPC,not tricky at all like it was on my old SE P800,almost breaking it while opening
So i guess,maybe the screen is defected,but it was new and like that from the first day,so maybe the only thing possible is flashing the UNI ? Any ideas still from anyone ?

sorry, never had the problem, but i don't know what else could cause such a fault...
And still
And still after so much time,i have the red line
Nothing changed,only that in the meantime i flashed my UNI,which til posting this the first time i didn't do. I flashed the UNI i think 50 times since then
But still i am curious,if maybe anyone has an idea what that can be and is it fixable.
