I just got my Google Ion yesterday. The trackball has a light inside of it that blinks when the phone is ringing, but doesn't seem to light up for anything else. Is there any way to get it to blink for other types of notifications like SMS or Email? It's much easier to see than the little LED on the speaker.
my trackball does blink when getting a sms, and then it blinks sometimes afterwards.
Well damn. I've scoured the options and I can't find mention of it anywhere. Is it possible that the Google Ion version of the firmware omits this ability for some reason?
I also would like an utility like for the led to assign colors to events....
For the LED you should try "Missed Call" app in the market.
Cheers.

I like the LED illumination feature, am a sucker for flashing lights but does anyone know if there is a way to make the led flash until say a message is read? I usually have my phone on silent at work and can easily miss the led flash once a message arrives.

XPeria Tweak v2.0 is out, use the searchbutton and you'll find it
ET
Go to SETTING-SOUNDS AND NOTIFICATIONS-NOTIFICATIONS. Under event select NEW TEXT MESSAGE- select FLASH LIGHT FOR and then set to NO LIMIT.
Easy as that.
Wonderful, thanks for the help, you've made my day!
HI guys.
Does anyone have any idea how to make control of the X1 illumination LEDs in normal state ?
Because to see the phone while it's in the dark or at night.
My last phone before Xperia X1 is SE W900i. The small LED at the side of it make me easily to identify my phone when it's in the dark especialy at night.
In summary, I need to keep the X1 illumination LED blink every time when the phone is ON.
This is just a small thing.
I've found something in registry editor at :HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SonyEricsson\Illumination\Patterns
Buy I dont know how to deal with it.
use XperiaTweak in options it has a possibility to manage leds
Xperiatweak will not give him the ability to have the LEDS always on.
What I suggest is you send yourself a text message or something and never open it.
I turned my whole ullumination off because I hated it at night. ^^
i find it usfull at night as i keep my phones volume low and just have to look at it to see if i have a missed anything or if its still charging
I'd love to see some registry entries which controls the leds. =)
it would be nice to make own patterns. why didn't they make the all the side en not at the top en end i like the leds and find them usefull.
I would absolutely love a function to stop power waste when your battery is low. Yes, i responded to the 'low battery' message already. No, i don't need flashing lights, buzzes or beeps to remind me and further waste the power. Request for Xperia Tweak to have a "disabled" setting in the LED lighting menus!

You can already do this via the built-in functions (no need for a tweak program at all)
Settings > System Tab > Illumination ... uncheck the "Enable illumination" box

I already done it, But the LED is disapear for no reason even when set at Sounds & Notifications to put it on for no limited time.
Also, it would be really cool if:
- The leds are creating ambi-light for your movies.
- The leds as a visualizer for my music..
i would looooveeee to have my LEDs read out my sms using morse code.....
Hmm.. But seriously.. I'd love if I could have the leds pulsate like "low battery" but in purple or green color when idle.
I'm also interested in this, just wish i knew where to start lol

well would there be a way of making the led's act as a service light? like on the 8925 and 8525 they both would have a led light that blinks when you had service.
I'm also looking for a way of changing led colors in the registry
Hi,
The led in htc hero blinks for only 5 minutes after a e-mail is received (and not checked). This is awfully, since the whole point is check thru the led if any event was missed. The ppc has a registry hack to make the led blinks to infinite (or till you check the message), so, any workaround for hero?
Thanks.
PS: We already don't have colored leds, and now this, very disappointed with HTC.
Sell your phone then.

This doesn't quite resolve the issue, as this program doesn't use the trackball LED, but instead uses the green LED in the speaker. Also, it doesn't have settings for emails, which it seems andreofgyn would like.
When I get some time, I will do some digging around and see if I can find the trackball settings in the system. There's a good chance it will require a rooted phone to adjust the setting. I'm working on a custom bootscreen atm, once, I've got that sorted out, I'll look into this.
EDIT: Alright, maybe andreofgyn wasn't referring to the trackball LED. I just realized that when the Hero gets an email, the speaker-LED is actually the one that blinks, and not the trackball like all our other notifications.
Myself, I'm more concerned with the trackball LED for missed calls and text messages only lasting 5 minutes, so that's probably what I'll look into first. If people want to provide feedback about specific LED's (eg. would you like the trackball LED for emails, or is the speaker LED ok?) then I can see what I can find.
Okay E-Mail isn´t supportet but SMS and call. Is it difficult to make a option more for E-Mail?
The trackball isn´t support from any programm. By example Handcent SMS has got a option, but it doesn´t work. HTC release a developer kit, but nothing work yet. So when you will make it, I say thank you!

Yeah, I was refering to "speaker-LED", but if you can do unlimited flash with the trackball LED, it's good too. Missed Reminder is a good app, but like craig0r said, no e-mail reminders.
I have a rooted phone and can test anything. Thanks for all good will answers

Hm... maybe this will automatically get fixed in Modaco when they move to a newer base ROM.
I also have a telus htc hero with the modaco rom and the blinking LED/trackball only blinks for about 5m than stops

Green led does not blink at all.

Thanks

In a word, NO. This is busted on the HD2, and HTC doesn't seem interested in fixing it. Workaround: use PhoneAlarm. The latest beta makes the 'new email' LED notification work. http://www.pocketmax.net/smf/index.php?topic=7986.0
Hi Guys and especially Developers,
my further Device, Dell Streak, came out without an notification-LED - just like the Galaxy Note. But the Streak had also the touch-buttons lighted up by LED´s. Someone wrote an APP, which used this touch-button-led´s for notification. I was able to set up the "Back-Button" blinking everytime, when a message arrived.
Is this possible for the SGN?
NoLED. Instead of a LED a single Pixel on the screen lights up. You can customize it though, you can have different colors for calls, texts and it can even handle app notifications.
You can also only have the buttons light up, but as far as I know you can only have both buttons light up.

Chances are BLN will work on the note, but requires the support for it in the Kernel, it was the same thing with the Galaxy S2 it'll just be a matter of time before a dev integrates the support.
