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

Try
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\AllLEDMgr\Index
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 ?
Grtzzz from Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
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 ?)
One of the chief complaints that I read is the blinking green LED being quite annoying on pocket pcs. Whilst I don't share this feeling I really wish the blinking orange LED would stay constant when I get a message etc so I can easily see when I need to check my phone.
Surely in all this expanse of WM knowledge someone can modify the way the LEDs are handled? Its not even a complete new function - it is just substituting one already possible setting for another!
Personally I would like blinking orange to be constant orange but I know there are many more that want to see their blinking green light become solid/turned off. How hard can it be to hack devices to have this option?
Does it need to be done at a .dll level?
My Artemis seems to use \windows\htc_lib.dll for its LED control.
Does it need to be done at a registry level?
hkcu\Controlpanel\Notifications\{xxxx}\Options
Does it need to be done with a memory resident program that reads the LED status and changes it accordingly?
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb202009.aspx
Does it need to be done some other way?
Someone please help!!
I don't want to sound rude, but it seems you searched for answers anywhere but the forum.
The LED situation has been discussed several times and some solutions have been offered particularly for TyTN and some other devices.
So search the forum (preferably using google instead of the built in search), you may find an existing solution that will work for your device.
And no, the MSDN reference you provided will not work on the LEDs in question, the access to them is tricky at best.
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!
Hi, in fact i have rooted my phone, and put the original sbf file that i found on the site but i noticed that my led notification on my milestone 2 is not working anymore. It was before i change the rom and go back to the 2.3... I've tried many apps as led me know, flow light etc... (all i found in fact) but i did not find any solution... Please help me to get this light on
Anybody please help... (UP)
The LED notification will only flash with the screen off. So if try an app to test the LED, don't forget to turn the screen off.
Yeah of course i did it. But it seems to be a constructor problem... the LED must have died xD . Well now i really want to know when i have a sms and i remember to have seen a program that permit the shortcuts in the bottom of the milestone 2 to blink. Anyone knows this app? anyone has a solution so i get a notification of sms received?
All I want is "peeking" and the lockscreen notifications to work! Isn't this part of Marshmallow?
Anyone else find notifications to be not working/inconsistent? What I am looking for is to have the screen turn on with every notification...this phone is either sitting on my desk or in a car holder most of the time, so I want to see the notifications without having to handle the phone. I've tried some 3rd party heads-up notification apps that work pretty good, but I am having issues with the lock screen (sometimes I have to enter and pin AND use the fingerprint scanner, which is a bit much to just access the phone).
1. I seldom get peeking notifications even though "peeking" is selected. With some apps, peeking works sometimes and not others. I have never seen a Peek notification for gmail.
2. I find the notifications seldom turn the screen on, even though I have the ambient screen turned on. Perhaps this has something to do with problem 1.
Am I the only one?
I have the same issue. Did you find a fix?
There is already a thread on this topic, may be answers in there. However, its working fine for me, so its not an issue for all users.
Hi,
I noticed that I have this problem also. Someone managed to solve this?
Have you tried putting apps in the priority lane?
