searched for a solution and found none. is there a way to disable the white ring of light that "breaths" as the manual says when the diamond is plugged in and charging? i have to leave my phone face down at night because it sits right next to my bed and is pretty bright in a pitch black room. for further clarification i am talking about the light around the d-pad.

to be honest, i cant see why, i just got mine 2 days ago, and im still buzzing off it.
but a work around is, just bob it in the pouch while your charging it, works fine!
im determined to find something. im scouring through the registry looking for something
no luck finding a solution please someone has to have figured this out!
the solution is either you get something to cover your phone, or simply flip over the phone.
umm... blutack?

Hi. I do not know if this is just my problem, but the side buttons for picking up or killing connection do not light up, when a call is coming and the device is closed (they do light up, when the display is opened, but i can not reach them and it is pointless that time). I would like to have them light up. How can I get it work? Thanks for answer.
Hi Ya,
I'm glad you have asked this, I keep meaning to and then forget about it until im out and about at night and the phone rings, then I remember.
Its damn annoying not seeing the lights, To anyone who might think so what, you try answering a call at night in the dark with the clam shut, I got a job to even know which way up to hold the phone.
It used to work but hasnt for months now, no idea why or when it stopped, as during the summer it wasnt such an issue.
it seems like these buttons are lit using the backlit of the display.
so the question is: how to override the
"if closed then switch off backlit" logic
with
" if closed then switch off backlit unless ringing"
No these buttons are not lit by the backlight and have LED's of their own. Just completely dim the backlight using the slider in the appropriate setting and you will see no change in the intensity of the button light.
Furthermore it is a stupid design but there is no setting currently available to make them glow when a call comes in and the lid is closed. This is by design, unfortunately.
Regards
Sorry but thats not quite true.
When I first got my phone the lights ALWAYS lit up when a call came in, but for some reason they have stopped doing it now
Interesting thing to point out, I would be interested in a "fix or workaround" too =)
Turn of the green flashing light at the top of the Wizard, I leave it at the side of my bed at night as I use it as an alarm clock and the tiny green flashing light is bright enought to light up the whole flickin room. I have taken to lying it face down on a book, but would be interested in knowing if it is possible to disable the green LED.
Cheers
Steve
Electric tape? Seriously, I think I read that this is no hack to turn off the lights. I agree that they're quite annoying.
Turn on bluetooth and you get a cool blue flashing light too and that one is even brighter and really lights up the room. Yep, cover it up. Lay a book or magazine over that end of your phone. Or get a case so it covers up the front.
I'll wake up in the middle of the night and see my side of the room glowing blue. Its from my bluetooth headset (plantronics) letting me know its charged... sheesh...

There has to be a reg hack that can do this cus, when you go to Sounds and then you click on any of them you have a option to have 'flash light for ....'
So there must be a setting that you can turn it off for good!!1 I will have a look but i am at work right now so not much time!
Turn off your phone.
Hold the trackball and end key down.
Let go and bam ur in blue light mode.
Blue light mode is good because it makes your phone completely unusable since it cant be turned on. Only way to get out is take out the battery (i believe)
So if u dont want anyone on your phone, that could be helpful.
I'm just wondering what its real purpose is tho.
Maybe everything is off except bluetooth in this mode?
I'll give it a shot sometime tomorrow
huh?
thats very odd, I wonder what it is, Id say there is a better chance that its a feature of some sort not just a bug in the code...
Im sure the DREAM-weavers here will get it figured out soon enough...
hey J.F. maybe DREAMWEAVER would be a good nick
bhang
ooh i love it, i totaly have a thing for blue led's
theres an excellent app on the market called Missed Call.
it lets you change the the LED at the top to whatever colour you want when you get a call, a missed call, a text and when your bluetooth is on. also you can change how quickly it flashes. i currently have my text LED set to blue and set to flash quite fast. looks great
oh, theres also ****ing 9 different colours that LED can do!!!
Haha yes, but as cool as that is. The fact that the led is blue isn't what's so intriguing.
I'll post anything i find

they are on by default over here..i haven't used android long enough to change the setting if it even has one so mine has to be default. I have my brightness set to auto but im pretty sure that was default also.

me neither :/
Mine also automatically lights up when I hit the power button. I have not done the OTA.
That's SO weird. After reading the title of this thread, a few seconds later, my lights stopped coming on, too.
Turned it off, pulled the battery, and now it works fine.
ya mine just randomly started working with no reboot ahah..how weird..now to get my ota >/ still havent got it yet
I just came in here to find this thread (how do you search in the XDA app??) because I am using my phone in the dark for the first time (hotel, trying not to wake my girlfriend) and my buttons weren't lighting up.
I did a quick Google search and found they won't light up if you turn the screen on when the phone is plugged in, and this is apparently by design.
For some reason mine never work in the morning in the dark (when I actually need them to), but they always work during the day. I figure there is just some bug with the light detector.
For those having issues with the lights not turning on, are you plugged into a USB cable? Mine do not turn in when a USB cable is plugged in, but they do otherwise.
Mine never turn on at all. They haven't since I got the phone. At first I thought it was by design then I realized how stupid that would be and looked it up. Sure enough here is the thread with people having the same problem...I'm on hold with HTC as we speak...
Capacitive Touch Buttons won't Illuminate
I found this thread in a Google Search and wanted to bump it:
I just picked up my white EVO today. I just noticed my capacitive touch buttons don't light up, though they do function. This makes the phone impossible to use in the dark. I was going to ask if this was a setting I was missing, but after reading this thread it seems like a small bug. Have anyone found out what the status is on a fix? thanks!
Ok guys I discovered that the button lights have a light sensor, this sensor is located under the earpiece speaker on the left side looking at the phone. If you have it plugged in you can cover the sensor up with your thumb and the lights will turn on. The lights also will not come if you are outside or in a well lit room. I hope this helps, and still dont know what to tell the OP as his happened in the dark.
i saw a white light on the bottom corner on my xoom;s screen. is it for notifications?
Depends on how you hold it. The notification light is a white (supposed to be tri-color) line next to the Verizon logo.

isn't it suppose to come on when i get IM or email or something?

My light pulses White every 2 seconds or so when I get an IM on Gmail Talk. Edit: Only when the screens off, btw.

Here are the steps I took to learn this information:
1) Read the labels on the film taped across the front of the Xoom's screen as it came from the box, where it's pointing to NOTIFICATION LED
2) Read the user manual
3) Use my common knowledge and history of using mobile, connected devices to understand that a blinking light means something new has happened or arrived on the device.
4) Post a question on the forum
I think this is my first post, but I gladly use it to point out how newbish you are to have to ask this question on the internet.

Thanks for being a jerk. You may also want to make sure that you have notifications turned on whatever apps you're using.
Top light to the left of the camera
There's another light, just to the left of the front-facing camera. Does anybody know what it does?
The light to the camera's right glows when the camera's on. But the light to the left doesn't seem to do anything yet. (And it's not listed in the manuals nor on the plastic pull-off screen protector.)
Judging from the iFixIt take-apart photos, I'm guessing it will light up when the Xoom is running 4G.
Anybody else know more?

WOW thanks for your reply!
1. the label was taken off by the verizon employee when it was activated so i don't know that there was a sign that pointed to it.
2. the user manual did not specify where the notification light for apps are only for the charging light.
3. i know it is used to notify if something arrived but like i said it DOESN'T light when i get IMs even when the screen is off.
4. it is posted on the forum!
thanks, but i don't need your sarcastic answers.

I'm fairly sure what you are referring to is a light sensor, for automatic brightness adjustments.
I actually had sorta the opposite problem in that I had the notification light going for seemingly no reason. Checked all apps and no notifications on bottom bar. Reboot solved but made me wonder what was up.

If you can't see the notification light it most likely has to do with your screen brightness. I thought mine was broken when it was so faint, so i cranked up the brightness and sent myself a test e-mail. When the screen was off the notification light pulsed incredibly bright, i turned it down repeated the test, and the notification light was really faint. Hopefully they can change that to where it's always bright no matter what the brightness of your screen is set at.

I assumed the notification light is only when the screen is off. Why do you need it when the screen is on? You can see all notifications in the lower right.
Also, lets not forget the notification light on the BOTTOM center of the tablet in landscape.
It only comes on if the device is OFF... its a battery charge light. Its 2 or 3 colors that change depending on the charge level.

What I'm saying is that the brightness of the notification light when your screen is off depends on the brightness your Xoom is set to. If you have your screen at 100 percent when its off the notification light will be very bright. However I had my screen quite dim and when it was off ans I received a notification, the light was almost nonexistent. You can test it for yourself. Its something that is hopefully fixed so that the notification light brightness is independent of the brightness your Xoom is set to.

Oh, I am sorry I misunderstood. I tested it at lowest brightness setting and the notification light is just as bright as full brightness for me.

Yeah, mine works now too, weird, I rebooted it so there must have been something wonky going on, but everything works now.
