How many LED's and what for?

Can you please tell me how many LED's are on Trinity and what kind of missing calls, messages notifications are present, hopefuly via LED which rapidly changing colors?

In the manual it says:
Left LED:
This LED shows the following:
• A blinking Blue light for Bluetooth system
notification of powered-up and ready to transmit
radio frequency signal.
• A blinking Green light for Wi-Fi status.
• When both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled, their
lights blink alternately.
Right LED:
This (bi-color) LED shows Green and Amber lights
for UMTS/GSM standby, UMTS/GSM message,
UMTS/GSM network status, notification, and battery
charging status.

so, when I miss phonecall or sms this right LED will notify me by changing lights all the time until I confirm event, how visible it is? It is very important to me that just by looking at phone I know I have something to check.

Took me a while to check, but here it is:
When charging, the right LED will show a steady amber light, it turns steady green when fully charged. When not charging, the right LED will blink green to indicate GSM reception.
When you have recived a sms, or a call, which you didn't answer, the right LED will, whether it is charging or not, start to blink amber until you have read the sms, or have seen the incoming number.
So in short, blinking amber right LED is either a missed call, or sms.(probably mms too)

That's it, I'm planing to buy this wonder and your input is very helpful, thank you very much!

Notification Light

Is there a way to set the notifaction light to blink orange like all the other htc phones with an incoming text or email? I cant find the setting.

Not currently. I started a thread about having the backlight turn on when a message is received. I think this should be the same.

another thing google needs to fix ASAP!
I want the damn light to turn on when I get a message (screen)

The light BLINKS GREEN when there is something in the notification bar.

I just noticed my battery like is down to 12% the notification light, isn't blinking at all.
Even with Bluetooth or wifi on my light does not blink blue. Weird.
I wonder if this is included in Androids "memory saving" feature. *Since the Android will self close apps in the background when it needs more memory. I don't know.

green blink
I just sent a txt to myself. light blinks green... cool!

Doesn't the light normally blink green, in stand-by mode?

The light doesnt blink as others cell phones do. The only time the light blink is when there is something in the notification bar. Test it out...

blue led?
I have yet to see the blue light just green orage and red...
anybody seen a blue led on a g1?

I think there's only one LED on the G1, and it's a red/green one (that looks yellow when both sides are energized.)

You can get it blue wen you hold the track ball down and powering up the phone.

I think it is four sided. Red, Orange, Green, and Blue
I have seen green and red LEDs mix before... and this doesn't look like that.

LED

Hi!
I don't know if this is by design or it is a problem with my device but I found very strange that there is no led light to show me if I have signal or not or if there is an event. The led from the power button goes orange when I charge my phone and continuously green when fully charged. But when the device is disconnected from power source the led just goes off and stays like that even if there is a missing call or an SMS. It at least should blink green to show that there is signal. It is the same for you? If yes, is there a way to turn on the led?
I am using Dutty's ROM 2.1.
Thanks!

It does...
Change your sounds and notifications settings.

Sorry to insist but can you be more speciffic? What should I change there? For intance on the Missed Call I have selected "Display message on screen" and "Flash light for 30 minutes".
I am also using PhoneAlarm and this one is set to flash the led for most of the events. But it does not work either.
Thanks!

yes, you change to "flash for xx secs" for xx event
but the rest of the time it is off
its only 2 colour, ornage for charging and green flashing for events... .no blue for BT or steady on etc for signal

As I said, it is already set like that.

The LED is located on the power button.

Buggered setting i guess, try turning off the flash setting then try a reset and then turn back on again,

I will do that, thanks!

Does HD has blue LED for BT ?? mine doesn't shows blue LED for Bluetooth ( Only Green and Orange LED found. HTC original ROM 1.19 something). Am I missing something or there is NO blue LED like Elf/in
Can anyone confirm / clarify ?
Thanks ahead

Just tiny, faint green/amber LED. No Blue.

Thanks for the reply. Blue LED would be much appreciated though. ( it looks cool on my Elfin)

LED indication

The LED has the following:
1. Green when fully charged and while on a charger
2. Amber when charging and not fully charged
3. Flashing when a new SMS, email or missed call.
My question is: how can I set my TD2 to flash to indicate a new SMS, email or missed call at the same time as charging? It would seem that the charging indication takes priority over the flashing.... I want the flashing to take priority.
Does anyone know a solution to this please?

I would like the same.It will be great with no missing call or sms until you unplug your phone...and what about the second light next right to the phone? thanks a lot

There isn't a second light - it is a light sensor.

The light flashes different colors. So it could have be in rhythm with one color and different rhythm of another color.
R=Red, G=Green, Y=Yellow, - = 1 sec
---R---R---R---R---R---R---R (Charging)
-G---G---G---G---G---G---G-- (Missed Call)
Y---Y---Y---Y---Y---Y---Y--- (New Message)
So if it were charging, while having a missed call and new message, it would blink
Yellow, Green, Red, Yellow, Green, Red, etc
If it were just charging and a New Message it would
Yellow, pause, Red, Yellow, Pause, Red, etc
Just a Missed call would be
Pause, Green, Pause, Pause, Green, Pause, etc
So basically if you walked away for a minute and you had a new message and missed call while charging... it would be going crazy. You could even make a dash equal to 2 seconds to slow it down... or 3.

Well Player911, you do have a vivid imagination! Simply just flashing any colour would do nicely for me when charging and something has arrived from SMS, email or missed call.
Can you fix it?

I would prefer a green blinking light simply as a 'breathing' light. Maybe it could blink amber/red when it is low on battery.
It should burn full time only when there's a new event.
Anyway, preference may vary, but I think we all agree that it would be awesome if we could customise it!

I have the ideas, but not the know-how.

I am close to a solution and am currently testing this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1954259.
It seems to work, but the drawback is that you lose the LED notification for charging/charged completely to get the LED's to flash on an SMS/Email/missed call....
EDIT: This doesn't seem to work. It will work for a while, but if you charge then remove and then charge again, the charging LED comes back on. This then overrides the notifications LED which is what I want to take priority Back to the drawing board.

Hi,
can anybody provide a hint on how to change flashing time of the green led indicator? It blinks on missing calls but I'd like to increase the blinking period. I have HTC TD2 with Manilla 2.5 and Touch Sense.

my TD2 comes tomorrow, i think i miss my kaiser's led indicators when using TD2. kaiser is the best and enjoying with its leds, mostly when gps wifi and bluetooth opened at the same time

My old P3300 (Artemis) was like that too - quite a light show with gps, wifi, and bluetooth all on. Doesn't last long, 'cos the battery goes flat!
I really miss the flashing green "in service" LED. It was so handy to know a) you had reception and b) the phone hadn't crashed or the battery expired. The TD2 just sits there "lifeless" giving you no feedback at all.

Notification LED works only for charging

Rooted phone here.
The notification LED doesn't seem to be working for...notifications. No matter what kind, I can never tell I have a notification until I turn the screen on. Anyone have the same problem/solutions?

Not really, perhaps the problem is that it's only Red or Green, its not an RGB LED. I've seen it blinking when a whatsapp message comes in or if I have a missing call but it blinks too fast, so that's the problem and you can't change the timing either.
