hi everyone,
I was wondering where is the LED notification that shows the alerts ?
its just like old ones or it has some innovation-things like diamond/pro ?
it would be nice if they could do some dance light through those 4 keys under the screen ...
Thats my question, but nobody could answer me.. There should be a light in the powerbutton, but I've never seen a proof of that and on the pics it doesn't seem to me as a "light-button"... I'm still sad about this greez, cad^^

it's not at the power button, it's at the front near the top (ie. where the ear piece is). it's under the screen/plastic, amber, green, blue and red. hope that helps.
UPDATE: i made a mistake see posts below.
Oh really? That would be really great!! I don't need a discolight like on the x1 (although I find it cool), but only a practical light that informs me without looking on the screen. If this would be true, also on the front of the phone, then its absolutely perfect!! I'm happy now, thank you greez, cad^^

oops, my bad. sorry i was talking about the russian version (the one with WiMax Touch 8900 or something?). as for blackstone, it is above the power button AND at the corners (above as in if you lay the phone on it's back on the table). the color is still the same, ie. blue for BT, green for signal and wifi, , etc etc
sorry about the mix up again
oh and you probably want proof or something, here it is,

tnx man,
but it was unclear , it was like its a reflex or something ?
I´m mad about the position of the Notification LED´s. Why are they at the top? When i´m looking at my device i see the front not the top.....

well not really, although htc are quite stupid sometimes, on the top is ideal when you consider it's multimedia/video watching device. you dont want a flashing led annoying every 3 seconds by flashing in your eyeline!
Excactly!
And no flashing LED's when driving in the dark with the PDA in your carholder...
The flashing LED´s havent bother me anyway. I dont think that the HD would be a cinematic-Machine or something else. Its not only the Position of the LED´s its also the weakness of the LED´s that makes me angry. Until now with a quick look i knew if there is any notification.
but it's never a 'qwik' look though, 9/10 times you always miss it 1st time and have to wait lol!

If it makes you feel any better, the Samsung Omnia has exact same position of the notification led (on the top power button) and maybe even less distinguishable. So I'm guessing there's must be some reason that they put it there. Don't rush to blame HTC

Isn't the LED you are talking about, which is at the top. just at the WIMAX version? If i remember correctly, the HD has got the LED beside the speaker

Apologies if this has already been discussed, in which case please indicate the thread to me.
I have burnt out the bright light, which is used as a flashlight for the camera. Has anyone had the same problem and been able to repair it without sending it back for repairs. If positive, where can I find the parts in the United Kingdom?
Many thanks for your assistance

What flashlight app did you use?

Burnt out Camera Flash light
That is the worst thing! I used the camera, not your software to map the key. Closed the XDA, put it in my pocket and the damn flash led stayed on for over an hour!!!
Eric
Bah, humbug. I built timers into mine for just that reason.
If it's under warranty you might be able to get a new for old. Otherwise, I really couldn't say, I don't know if the device is still available in this country

Yes, it is still under warranty, will have to return it. On a separate issue, if it no longer available in the country (but still provided by 02), what is replacing it?

Where, tried everything, maplin, rswww, got some different leds, tried them, nothing works. Really appreciate if you could tell me where to get them. Eric
This is another case for me!
Well, I currently don't have any problems with my universal's "flash light", but it surely is a high intensity white led.
Most of these leds have the same operating voltage and if this is not the case, it will be neccessary just to measure the exact voltage at the led's leads, it might not even be burnt at all, it it's surely driven by a transistor.
I was just watching lumileds page and they have a led that does exactly the "flash" function, they even mention a competitor (I don't who it is but might be osram or another), what's also important is that phisically is that the led has to be phisically similar and the wors thing that can happen is that might be dimmer than the original.
I'll try to find out something more...
bye for now
i have exec for sale buy it take the bulb out then sell the screen and parts on

I just seen the disassembling video for the Nexus One on Youtube and said the trackball was the same as the blackberry's. I have a spare black trackball from the 8900 and want to clarify if they actually are the same. I know down the road the trackball will soon start to yellow or get dirty so I think replacing the trackball and even cleaning out the dust specks under the screen.
Anyways just want to clarify and if all is good then I'll go ahead and write a write up if anyone is interested.
Thanks for the offer on the write up. I would be interested.
I cannot confirm that the trackballs are the same but I do know that the mytouch also uses a blackberry trackball.
Maybe you can check the part number of the blackberry trackball and the nexus trackball to see if they match.
will the BB 8900 trackball fit on nexus one ?
any confirm info on whether both part no.s are the same or not ?
AFAIK HTC buys their trackballs from the same places as RIM
I am about 98% sure they are the same.
Kiss the trackball notifications goodbye.
from where can i buy the OEM nexus one trackball ?
from where can i buy the OEM nexus one trackball ? I don't want to loose the capability of trackball color notifications !
I have searched on dealxtreme and cnn but can't find any !
I went from a bold 9000 straight to the nexus one, the nexus one's seemed much bigger.
Got a replacement n1 today. Forgot that the original color is white/clear as opposed to the grey that my original one had become.

Mine's worse than that, it's basically black (I suspect it's dye rubbing off from the dark blue jean pocket I usually keep it in?). I wouldn't mind so much except the notifications are really hard to see unless the room is quite dark. I've already tried to clean it with pure IPA (isopropyl alcohol) but that didn't help at all.
If you do manage to replace your trackball successfully and write it up (with photos!) I for one would definitely appreciate your efforts.

The tri-color LED is behind the trackball, not inside it.
I managed to clean my trackball pretty well using a Magic Eraser.
Just be careful not to scrub too hard. It takes a lot of patience trying to rub the eraser against a moving ball.

He may have been thinking black track ball.
i don't know if any of you guys are having this problem, but i hear a really annoying rattle around the camera area of the phone. every time i set my phone down somewhere i hear a rattle, and it is very annoying. i wanted to know where it was coming from so i shook the phone next to my ear, it is definitely coming from the camera area. anyone else having this problem? is there an easy fix?
also interested in this. If I tap my battery cover near the camera, there is a distinct rattle.
Pretty sure this has been posted already but, It's the lens for the autofocus. It's nothing you need to worry about.
it's extremely annoying! ughgh. but i love this phone. lol
It doesn't happen to my phone.. Im not so sure this our supposed to happen to anyone.

Tap round the top of the phone, you'll hear it... it's the spring in the auto-focus mech.

Thats weird, mine is so very faint - it sounds as if I'm tapping anywhere on the phone, even with hard taps. Is it because I don't use my camera much?

maybe your camera is defective coz mine rattles also! LOL
This is part of the auto-focus mechanism. Every phone with autofocus does this. In short: deal with it. It's not broken.
search guys c'mon... this has been posted at least three times
Anyone notice that when you touch a capacitive button that the actual light turns off behind that single one? I'm running CM7 B25 Nightly- haven't tested it from stock. I just thought that this was awesome and also hard to notice. Or, eve, maybe my phone is junk and broken.

Does not happen on Stock, Bionix(curent ROM), CM7alpha2, or Modaco r3 as far as I remember. I can restore backups of each of those ROMs to confirm. Lights stay solid as can be.
However, if you like the "feature," I wouldn't consider the phone defective.
EDIT: I am wrong. They do, but it's exceptionally subtle and I had to jab the phone next to my eye to see it. Very cool, in retrospect.
they all do that... Nice touch to the phone I think. Little barely noticable things like that are neat....
I'm running the same build and mine do this as well; I think they probably did on stock firmware too. Kind of cool, but mostly goes unnoticed for obvious reasons.
If they can be controlled independently, than I think we have a prospect of notification LED's. These would work great.

I've run stock since the day I bought it, and on my phone the capacitative buttons have always responded to a press by shutting off the light behind the button activated.

OH SHI--it's very subtle. I just grabbed my phone and stuck it next to my eyeball to see the lights. You're right, they do go off for the splittest of second and you'd really have to be looking in order to see it.
Sorry @OP for misinforming.
Yes, they do this. This is also why they go black for upwards 10 seconds at a time on their own with the common phantom home/back button issue many are experiencing.
Mine are doing that. I'm stock.

Wow cool, just noticed it. Stock and root online.
Capacity buttons turning off per press is cool.
I also think one of the coolest things about the Nex S (and of Gingerbread) is the two finger slide show you can perform in the Gallery albums. Just place two fingers on any album and slide them apart. Neat effect.

That's a feature of stock Android 2.2 Gallery app. That was there on the Nexus One.
This is a cool feature. Like wesbalmer says, it could lead to replacing the NOLED app for notifications! If I hold any of these buttons the light also stays off until I let go.
Not many people will notice this feature coz when you press a capacitive button your finger covers it

Human 2.0; now with transparent fingers!
This feature was already available on sgs froyo 2.2... Just noticed it now though!
yup, i can confirm that
but usually our fingers are way to big and wide to really notice the special effects
i had to use my tippy tip of my finger to be able to appreciate the effect, else i'd have missed it as every single hour i spend with the phone

now, lets wait for the BLN..
maybe home for missed call, back for email, etc etc flashing.
this will be way more cooler than the track ball (if only if it has colors as well).
then we might be able to even do like knight rider style.

I'm on donut HD rom, yesterday, one of those led's present between the hardware keys is not working. Only one works. Tried removing the battery, didn't work. If I look at it closely, I can see it dimly lighted
LED'S don't fuse, then why did it Happen to me?

the violet leds present between the hardware keys, or i mean the leds left and right to the home button,
yesterday when i was playing restaurant story(game) i saw one of these leds fading slowly and then now its not glowing, though i can see then with my eyes closely to the phone
