Hi! On another forum I was told, that the Touch HD has the LED for signaling missed calls/sms/e-mail etc. built into the power button. Does somebody have any pictures or a video of this in action? Just curious how this looks. Thanks!
Hi all,
I too would like to know this... and I also noticed that www.gsmarena.com says it has video out functionality???? But this feature is not listed on htc.com
Did anyone hear anything about this???
The guy of the frensh video on youtube was live on yahoo a few days after the release of the video.
While he was showing the device it looked to me that the on/off button was blinking or emitting light. At the time i didn't know what it was, but reading your msg i think this must be the LED signal.
So yes, it has a LED signal in the on/off button

check out this forum thread for the TV out stuff... at the moment it is unlikely that the phone will have this feature, like Raphael, because Raphael was the only one with the required USB connection... Videos show that no such port is on the Blackstone... still hoping though.
The DPad showing the status was a good thing as I got it in the cradle all the time. Having such function on the power button makes it harder to see, but cool nonetheless.
Wish they did it Blackberry style - placing a single very bright LED near the speaker hole on the front... Subtle yet rarely overlooked.

So, I'm not sure how many people are familiar with a hacked Motorola phone feature called "fun lights" (or club lights), in which the phone picks up music being played and flashes its lights to the beat, as seen here with a Motorola KRZR http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LS32vxWQC1U . Can this be done with our phones? I know the Tilt has a good number of lights to use. The indicator lights on the headset speaker and the soft key lights would be prime blinking lights. This feature would also be cool to do when someone calls you, and you're in the dark, your phone's buttons will start blinking and flashing.
So, developers and people who are smarter than I am, can this be done?
hehe loved that feature on moto phones. ahh... the good old motorola modding days when i moded my motorola v635 and the razr v3s someone should be able to do it.
Yeah, they're really cool. I'm not sure how useful it is, but it's certainly quite a novelty feature.
BUMP =D
i like lights...
Haha, everyone likes lights!
This may be similar to what you are talking about? Scroll to the bottom then scroll up 5 topics. Wouldn't be to the beat though.
Well, the notification LED is different than the softkey backlights. This will be cool to do when you receive a call as well as to music.
looks like i'm not the only one who remembers good ole' seem editing!
Either way, has anyone come up with a program that does something similar?
BUMP! This would be hella cool! The SE and Moto phones so why not the WM phones
I'm hoping once this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406820 gets more developed, we'll be able to assign entertaining videos. It could make things more interesting.
Hi all,
Has anyone seen the top side of the HTC HD2? I tried to see in the official website and also in youtube videos but think there are no notification lights like the HTC Touch HD. I find it very useful in the Touch HD, saving it from taking it out of the pocket and pouch.

Other than that, it's a nice device plus micro usb now read on BBC that they are going universal in mid 2010: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8323018.stm "The charger has a micro-USB port at the connecting end, using similar technology to digital cameras".
Mayb like the kaiser next to the earphone...
Like xmoo said, it is on the left of the earphone. I have seen two videos on YouTube where you can see a green LED which blinks.
edit:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCgBe2quYMk @ 0:25 take care of the upper left
edit2:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBlAjD4ZKr8 - here it seems to glow red permanently
i'd guess the permanent red glowing would be due to the phone being on charge
Very nice, didn't notice that in the videos! =) Thanks!
As I don't possess a HTC HD...what are the notifications usually for (red, green, blinking,..)?

The EU forced the manufactures to agree on one universal connector by (I think) 2010 or sth. . I think that was about 1-2 years ago. So if microUSB is the universal one, than probably every device will have that in the near future.
Just saying that, because it seems like everyone is kinda (positively) surprised that all the new devices have microUSB now =)

Blinking green for missed event (SMS, mail, reminder)
Solid green when fully charged and connected to external power source
Blinking red for critical battery
Solid red for charging
Off for anything else (i.e. it doesn't indicate signal reception status in any way)

was true on the HD as the light was on top, but since the HD2 has the light on the front, you still have to take it out of the pouch to see the notification.

Some people are surprised plus it's been a while. But I think this is great, don't need to carry the charger if it's universal when travelling also for those who read the news will know it will be very good for the environment.

You are right, unfortunately we will still need to take it out of the pouch now. There is nothing on the top, I would of thought a lot of people found that useful in the Touch HD although the led was very small but still useful
This thread can be closed.
it wouldnt have helped if it was in the top, since the 3.5 output is at the bottom hence most people will have the top downwards

I do like the idea of having the output at the bottom which is what I wanted in first place (makes it harder for dust to get in when in pouch) but having the lights at the top should of remained because when you are listening to music you would have your headphones in and if there was a sms or call you would hear it in your ear piece.

he means you'd hear the notification sound for the txt/call through the headphones
yes, but how would that help if the light was on the top? ... I mean from the point of view that you're listening to music... but if not, then I understand... had to wake up a bit

It's a voluntary thing, which is why it's surprising - HTC loves ExtUSB.
Who cares about a dedicated notification light ?, the HD2 has illuminated buttons which could be programed to show notifications. Much more efficient.
That's nt red it's orange.
Orange on HTC means charging.
Red is low battery.
Hope just like the kaiser notification, we'll be able to edit the led colours as how we want them.
I would really like to have something like that. Can I use the menu button to scroll or do such things?
I like this phone but I would like
1. A led light (to use it for lighting when walking in the night)
2. A gyroscope (ya I know)
3. Better casing
4. A notification led (e.g. red when I have missed calls, amber when sms etc) - I do not know which mobs feature this think apart from nexus
And by the way does it have a video out?
It does have Video Out, you use the 3.5 mm headphone plug to plug in the TV out plug.
The "button" in the middle, the big one, it's only one button that takes you to the home screen or if you long press it you get recently used tasks to multitask, etc..
it is not a Dpad nor a scroller (I really wish to was !! would have been nice to have a trackpad).
the other things are your dreams , well a better casing is possible with cases but they're not out yet.

I always wonder why people don't bother to read not just 5 similar topics here, but just one freakin basic review of the phone, that answers all idiotic questions about it.
Is there a LED under the trackpad as some videos have shown, and if so, how do you activate it?
I'm aware of the LED(s) under the speaker grill, but I didn't see a thing about the one for the optical trackpad.
EDIT: Well, technically it's usuable but is used for texts, which I don't use. It'd be fun if we could configure it.

There is ongoing discussion in the G2 forum about getting it useable for notifications. Its still (very) early days so keep your eye on the topic (will get the URL as soon as i can find it).

Hi!
I'm considering buying the phone, but I'm being put off by some things, among them inconveniently placed notification LED. Afaik it is in the power button, which quite sucks. So I'd like to ask what some handy alternatives there are? Probably something that would turn on the screen and it would stay on for some time?
Thanks
No one? How exactly do YOU solve this problem?
Got soldering skills? Buy micro led, solder it in front of speaker mesh, enjoy.
retsam88, it is better to be quiet if you don't have a reasonable answer.
The majority of us just don't consider this to be a problem.
OK, thanks, maybe I could also live with it.
I found two applications in case I could not:

Now the only thing remains to buy a Touch HD for a good price
Frankly, i never noticed if HTC Touch HD's led is blinking or not when you have missed calls/sms and have been using it for 2 years now. Only noticed it blinking when battery is drained. But you can use S2U2, which is a free lockscreen application and has the options of reminding you about missed calls/sms/emails by playing sounds at certain intervals.
Eh... is there an application which could be used to tweak the LED? Thanks
yes i have on top let blink for mesage mised call etc
