Can anyone teach me how to enable the blinking of notification led in green colour in usual status?
Like those blinking in ELFIN etc.
THX
Hi
Do you mean have it flash all the time to show the phone is on and connected to the network?
If yes I don't think you can.

Thx for answering me!
But why can't I??
I 've seen a video that Topaz is blinking all the time when Topaz is running in Windows 6.5 Platform
there might have been a new message or missed call etc.

Maybe you allready gave the answer: It might be in the WM6.5 rom.
As far as i know it's not possible with WM6.1, there is allready a thread about this is this forum, just use search.
Generaly, most people have the blinking green LED to indikate missed calls, new SMS or new E-mail. I use it for those things, so having it do showing network availability aswell is just pointless.

In older HTC phones, (pre Diamond1), the LED flashed green to indicate GSM connectivity (signal) and would flash orange in case of notifications. Also the same LED would flash red in case of low battery.
I also would have liked it to be flashing green for connectivity & orange for notifications/low battery. As it would be easier to know weather you are connected or not, since the sreen is mostly off.
Or perhapps i can suggest, if some developer would like to to do it, to make the phone flash orange (same as low battery) in case there is no signal.

Pointless to you but not to others.
I'd find it very useful to know if the phone's actually "on-line" without firing it up. The radio sometimes goes AWOL even in a good signal area, it would be nice to know when this happens. In a weak signal area it helps you put the phone down in a location where it actually works.
It's been on every phone I've owned and suddenly it's no longer fashionable with HTC...

Has anyone else noticed this?
If you put the phone on vibrate mode, then recieve a text message, occasionally the orange light will not stop flashing, even after reading the message. I've got the "flash light for No Limit" option selected, as I want the light to flash until it's read.
To switch the flashing off, I have to go into Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications then click OK without changing anything.
Annoying bug!
Yes, I've noticed this also. I have mine set to 5 minute flash but some things don't seem to realise they have been read and continue flashing.
Do you have the same ROM as me? - see my sig.

Yeh, the strange thing is that this works ok for me when on normal mode (i.e. not vibrate).
How do you check ROM version?

Not sure if it is. I think there is talk of a 1.13 radio but can't find any firmwares at the Qtek site.
I wonder if you would mind checking something for me on yours please...
With the machine in flight mode, could you attempt to turn on bluetooth by clicking on the bottom left of the today page and then ticking the top checkbox that appears on the next page. Does your LED start flashing blue or do you get a message telling you turn on the radio first.
I cannot find a way to turn on bluetooth at the same time that the radio (phone) is turned off (note with pocket PC on). I think it is a problem with this firmware but it could be a problem with just mine.
Thanks
It has the same problem on mine: flight mode needs to be off for BT.

Thank you Timewarp. Unless someone knows of an alternative way to turn the phone off without using flight mode it seems to me that this firmware is a bit faulty.
For most people I don't expect it will be a major problem but for me, who intends to use mapping software whilst out hiking it could prove a real battery drain.
Qtec told me that it was a faulty phone and to return it - it does look like they were wrong, its not a faulty phone but a bug or strange feature in the firmware.
Thanks again!
OK, thanks to kta I have now managed to get bluetooth on and GSM off!
I did try it a few days ago and it didn't work - maybe I had an older version of the software.
So it looks like the standard software can't do it but some 3rd party software (Phone Alarm v1.27) can!
How about this idea as a work around?
Turn on flight mode, then turn it off again. When it asks for your PIN, click Cancel. Then turn on BT. You get BT on then, without your phone connecting.
I'm not sure whether this will save the battery drain though.
so thats what that option was for. i thought it was supposed to flash the screen.
On mine if i get a message or a missed call the orange light comes on solid(not flashing) and i have it set to no limit as well
i'm on rom 1.12 and radio 1.13

Yep, I thought of that too, but if you read what it says on the screen, something like "you can only make emergency calls" that suggests that it still needs a link to phone transmitters. So, although the green led doesn't flash I would say that it is still communicating with transmitters and thus using up battery power. I'll test this in my car, if I hearclicks over my car speaker then that will prove that the phone is actually still communicating with transmitters.
If I don't hear any clicks from the speaker then the phone probably isn't on.
I'll test it on my way home tonight and let you know.
Cheers

Yeh, I'm not sure whether it'll be communicating with transmitters all the time, or would only do this when you tried to make an emergency call.
If you think about it, emergency calls would use any available network, whether you're a subscriber or not, rather than the company that you have a contract with. When you have your phone connected to the network (flight mode off, PIN entered), I would guess that it would only keep your service provider's systems up-to-date with your location and not every mobile service provider in range :?: I say this because in some areas you can get reception from some networks and not others.
Anyway, it'll be interesting to see what you find.
Edit: Post deleted as I realised my reasoning in the post was flawed.
hey everyone,
I have a T-mobile MDA. All the info I can give is whats in the About section which is "Windows Mobile Version 5.0 OS 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0)" and processor is OMAP850-195Mhz"
Now the problem I found was that the little LED for the power and bluetooth made no sense. I would receive a text message, save it as read, clear my memory and it would not give up blinking until several hours or until i restarted my smartphone.
Does anyone know the source of this or a way to make it correct? I go to bed with the light blinking orange and wake up with the light still blinking while nothing happens. it gets annoying because i dont know if i missed a call or received a text message or something.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
P.S. I searched the forums for this problem but have failed to find anything relevant so I appologize if this is a report.
Are you sure that it's not blinking green? Most, if not all PPC's blink a green light when they are on just to show you that they are on when the lcd shuts off.
I actually have the problem that you described where mine wouldn't stop blinking orange even after I had read the only sms I had recieved at the time, but it only happened once and has never happened again. My guess is that it's a registry setting that's not resetting itself after reading the sms like it's supposed to. I've read where other people have a most likely related issue where the new sms icon stays on their screen instead of just the light flashing like that. I'm not sure that there's a way to fix a sticky registry setting though without a hard reset or reflashing the ROM.
Hello
I've the HTC Jade smartphone since one week, and I'm very happy of this. I love design and multiple functions.
But sometime, I observed a problem with my phone.
It was normally on, no problem with network or others appears, but nobody can phone me or sms me, and I can't phone and SMS. It doesn't work too.
As the network was disfunctionnaly.
A phone reboot resolve the problem, but in one week I oftently had this problem (three times minimum). It's a real problem because I can't know when my phone is "disconnected" or no.
Is there anybody have this problem, and know a fix of this bug ?
Thanks,
Julien.
Do you use SPB Phone suite or similar software?
It happened to me before, if I switched GSM on, did not wait until it is really on and than switched the phone to standby.
No, I don't use SPB Phone or others software for my phone.
I just use ActiveSync for synchronise phone with computer.
Do you switch your GSM network off regularly?
Try hard reset. I think that is a software problem. Are you using 3G network or GSM only?
Just found a brand new bug.
When the phone is on stand by for a long period of time (during the night), if i get a sms, it only arrives when i press the power button to light the screen.
Until then, the phone doesnt warn me about the incoming sms.
sorry, double post

No, I never switch off my GSM Network (you talk about Airplane mode ?).
And HSDPA mode and 3G are always activated.
Again now, my phone just have the problem ! I saw that when I wanted to call then it doesn't work.
I must reboot and I lost three calls and one SMS >_<
I'll test hard reboot now, and I'll tell you news.
Thanks to all !!
If you do not use any third party software, you can ask HTC support directly.

Tried that one after whole night in standby. Worked just fine... Device woke up on it's own, delivered the message, played sound, started blinking LED.
C4st92 I have same bag with my O2 Atom Exec, but nobody can`t help me long time
I waiting, waiting long time... and buy new phone - HTC 3G, 2 days ago...and... Oops, i see your news, you make me shook
I hope you can make this bag...and write here about this problem....
I have also both bugs. Yesterday, my jade loose the call and didn't react at any order. I could not abbort the call. Actually after a reset, i was not able to call anybody as a operator failure.
And today after the night, I sent me a sms from the inet and my jade didn't react althrough it was on stand by. After wake up, the SMS was shown.
I have the german version of the jade.

Hi, I have the same problem with my HTC Touch HD. Only when i set to GSM network is good. Problems are when i use Auto or 3G band. I have this device from 17.11.08. How do You thing, can I replacement for new one? Without waiting for warranty repair?
Sorry for my English.

How do You thing, can I replacement for new one?
Try But, some shop have rule "If product have problen can change within 7 days from date of purchase with the original receipt only"
I bought this phone in Orange shop. It was upgrade phone.
is it a general bug or depending on device?
I already wrote that I did not encounter this problem in my Jade.

Since hard reboot, my phone has bugg two times.
I'll test to disable HSDPA and test with just GSM/GPRS Network if I keep this problem.
Wait & See
Guys, have you tried to contact HTC directly and ask about this problem?
I am using only GSM network and I did not encounter any of those problems. But if it seems to be common, why not ask them?
I called the german HTC support two days ago and reported the problem. They want to check this. The support has no resposibility to check, they report it to HTC directly and I think they could better speak english than german ;-)
Perhaps it depends of the rom. I have the german rom and using umts.
The problem is very special. If I receive a sms after a certain time (wake off 3h), only LED flashs. When the time is longer (e.g. 6h), the LED doesn't flash receiving a sms.
I have searched, and read a ton of info, but I have not noticed a solution to this problem.
I recently had to swap to a new 6800 under warranty. When the new one gets text message, the yellow LED flashes and usually does not shut off after I read the new message.
This is terribly annoying since I never know when I really have a new message. I can only make it go away when I reset the phone..
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Dan
Hey Dan. Do you have an unheard voicemail? Sometimes eventhough I have read all of my texts or emails, the LED will still flash until I have listened to my VM.
The easiest way to combat your excessive LED flashing is to use a small program called nueLED. It allows you to turn off any or all of your LEDs. Obviously, you want the Notification LED to flash, so whenever it gets stuck flashing, open the nueled program and select the extras tab and select reset LEDs.
Check it out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371391&highlight=nueled

Hey buddy, every once in awhile that happens to me. Its a little bug of some sorts. Here is how I get it to stop flashing without a soft reset.
Go to start/settings/personal tab/sounds and notifications/Notifications tab. And then simply click OK, no need to change anything. This will make it stop flashing.
Since this is a new phone as of a few weeks ago, could this be running MR2? Could that be the issue?
Old phone = GPS working. New phone = not at all...
Meh

MR1 and MR2 both break GPS as far as I've read (I don't have Verizon so no actual experience there).

GPS will work on MR1/2 if you set it up right.
Hmm I just had this happen for maybe the 3rd time since I've had the phone yesterday. Someone called me, didn't even leave a message, and the light kept blinking. I already read the notification saying I had missed a call.
Now that I think of it, the only times this has happened is since I started using RM 1.1 Light...
Actually the 213017b ROM works great with the correct carrier cab. I had this problem till I got this ROM. Have you tried it'?
I have not tried any roms other than MR1 which the GPS worked on.
Does anyone know the start up version numbers for the MR1 and MR2 update? If my phone is running MR2 I am going back to MR1 ASAP.
The lack of GPS and this silly always blinking message led are driving me nuts.
GPS works on both MR1 and MR2. Also the extra led blinking is not a problem with MR1 or MR2. It just happens sometimes.

I used to have it happen a lot as well. I already mentioned my way to get the flashing to stop on the first page. But one thing I did notice is that with my newest 6.1 build 21054 it hasnt happened once. I have had the ROM on my phone for over a month. So I am guessing its a problem with some of the older builds based on my experiences.
Yes, I have been using your solution for the time being. I then swapped to a BB storm (free upgrades for me and my girl) and couldn't stand the operating system so I went back to my 6800 and got her a omnia. WM FTW.
You should consider the TP2 if you want a new phone. It is a great one
Yes, that's a great phone and will pick one up sooner or later.
Update, out of frustration of two things:
The message LED flashing mostly all the time
and
my phone becoming unresponsive randomly yesterday
.. I went back to MR1 and all is well again.
Hi everyone!
When I used old models of HTC they had the possibility for LED indicator to blink green due to GSM signal.
Is it possible to make the LED blinking for the same purpose on HD2 ?
Thank you.
same question...
Nice thought, but the idea of it blinking is not that efficient. As far as I know, there's only two-color LED in the HD2 (orange/green)...if it's constantly flashing orange due to low signal, it'll drain the battery every time your phone is in the pocket or in a predominantly low-signal area (bags, classroom, subway, etc etc). If it's flashing green and whatnot, then it'll might interfere with the call/SMS/email notification. I mean, if you live and work around the same area, you kinda know which area presented a low signal for your phone and which area is not...and putting the HD2 in a tight spot as to block the antenna will always yield poor signal.
I wouldn't need an LED to tell me that.

The point is that I travel quite a lot. So many times I could not receive a call cause I didn`t know that I do not have GSM signal. To have the device on the table and just to see that the signal is there easier than to switch it on and realize that it can be out of range.
P.S. Missed calls/SMS/mails I can arrange by app which makes the buttons blink.

I think in the case of the OP, it's for people who are too lazy to spend a second to push a button and see what's in front of them...and would rather stare at the phone for some amount of time to see if LED blink or not.
Anywho, I'm not a traveler like the OP so maybe my assessment is wayyy off.
I been looking for some time on this...blinking light on blackberrys and such r great...i really hope they have a cab for this soon lol
It's also really useful to know if your battery has run out! Many times I've been walking around with a dead phone without realising it.. lol

If it happened many times, don't you think you'd learn to charge the phone before you're out and about? Be that as it may, if you tend to walk around with a phone on low-battery, wouldn't the blinking LED be almost useless as it drains the battery even more and thus, giving you a dead phone? Plus the phone does alert you (vibrate/sound) when your battery drops below 10%, which, ironically, is a better indicator then a blinking LED in your pocket...
Nah - I use it as my main internet connection, so the WiFi router is on a lot of the time, really kills the battery.
I don't see how an LED should be such a drain - they don't use much power la. I remember my old Ericsson used to have that feature, really handy
yesterday, for some unknown reason, LED indicator start blinkig with GREEN light!!!
like in any other phone for GSM signal.
today - not present
so, is there any way to make it green-blinking always for GSM signal?
