Is there an app/ hack to make the led (White LED that indicates charging/ new mail) blink like the network status light??
Its hard to figure out if the phone is on/off and also if there is a network signal or not!!
But it is not a LED, it cannot emit "Light", even you can write a software but you cannot make a sensor become a LED!!

The topic starter didn't ask if people lik it or not
on topic: maybe you can get it to work uaing Mortscript?
Haven't seen any app yet that activates the indicator though.
How about disable the light? I think it is anoying that the light is on when i'm charging at night

you can do that. go to settings>sounds and notifications>notifications>from events select new text message then go to flash light for then select time amount
thanks, but i ment if you could change the notfication type. So its just a solid ring, and doesnt flash.

Oh, well go through the same steps but uncheck flash light for and then simply change the sound to an actual ring tone

no what we want is that, the light stays on, so perhaps if we missed the virbrate or noise, wen we , take it out of our pocket it is obvious we have a message, because the LED will be on
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

haha yeah i know
i remember getting into this mode by accident once and thinking i ****ed my phone up. i'll see what i can dig up about it.
I've had my Hero about, well, 48 hours. Previously I had the Magic until I lost it
Anyway I used the SMS POPUP app on my Magic and you were able to change the colour of the LED flash for when a new text was received. I would change it to say blue on my Magic, so then the LED would flash blue for a new sms and green which was default for emails.
Now I'm on the Hero, installed SMS POPUP and even when I select to change the LED colour to blue, red, orange whatever, test it and it just always flashes green.
I tried another app called MISSED REMINDER and even when i tried to change LED colours with that it would only always flash green.
I think the LEDs do work correctly as it goes orange while charging and then turns green when charged.
Basically can someone check to see if they can change the LED colour in SMS POPUP?
Thanks.
I take a look at the app and also wasn't be able to change the LED colour.
Thanks, I was looking around some reviews and I have seen a few times where it says the LED can only change between green and orange. Seems weird that the Magic could handle multiple colours yet the Hero cannot.
I remember seeing it flash blue and even red. Dont know how or why but I am pretty sure I saw it.
orange and green is all i've seen
Orange = charging
Red = Battery beneath 15%
Green = Fully charged
Blinking green = E-mail in your gmail account. (or a peep update)
For sms only the trackball blinks (white) it also does that when recieving a pop3 mail (for example your providersmail.
I don't know how to get a blue led though

If you're unlucky you're likely to join the bunch of us that the LED's and the headphone jack stops working for.

Yeah have started reading about this.
Hopefully I'll be lucky though, haven't even had the phone 3 days.
The lights do work fine (orange and green and red), it's just on the Magic when using the SMS Popup app you could change the colour of the LED flash for when receiving a txt. Where as on this phone it's always green regardless of what colour I select from within SMS Popup.
Headphones still working, phone would be going straight back if that clonked out!

I will be holding out for that rumored update though... who knows... it might be a software issue *crosses fingers and prays to God... uhm... no wait... HTC*
Has anyone found an app yet that will change the color of the notif led for sms, missed calls, email, etc? I have tried many apps with no results.
Have you seen the LED show any other color besides blue?

red and purple.
Sorry won't work... I'd suggest you try this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730692
I'm almost positive there is a full RGB notification light! D: I'm praying there is!
The NoLed app doesn't work at all on the Epic. Even with it set up correctly, the screen will turn ON for about 5 seconds, turn off THEN show the notification. Rather buggy and doesn't wake up from sleep sometimes.
Also, NoLed is a battery drainer. No thanks, the Epic has a notification light. We just need someone skilled who can develop a program like TrackballPro for the Nexus One!
I have seen that app before. I betcha that would REALLY drain our batteries. Im not lookin for an alternative i want led customization. the colors i have seen are red, blue and magenta.
Magenta or purple? What notifications give those? Seems like every notification is red, and 100% charge is blue. that's all i've seen.

No system notification gives the magenta color....
But randomly when the phone is fully charged (blue), i'll take it off the charger and it will flash magenta for about 2 seconds. I've seen it multiple times, but its possible that its just a combination of the blue/red leds.
I would hate it if the led blinked red for everything besides being fully charged. I really hope samsung didnt stick with a 2 color led

Just red and blue guys. Confirmed by opening the test panel and trying to turn on green under led.
Btw - get to test panel in dialer by hitting #*0#*...lota cool stuff there

Hello. Since I dont see any complains or posts about notification led, I create this post so we can share our opinions
I mean, our led is weak, not multicolor, it stops blinking after a few minutes, and when it is charging it is useless because does not blink at all (stays red).
The multicolor and weak issue it´s hardware..So I dont think there is any solution (multicolor is very useful, for example to tell apart whatsapp mesage or group, so maybe is more or less urgent..)
But, do you know any solution for "blinking time" issue and the charging issue. I read that Viper Rom has some Mod or something, but I prefer staying in stock for the time being (however, I do have root)
On the other hand, i have tried light flow app, but I do not get the led blinking, it keeps static
Thank you for your help!
Custom kernels have blink button led lights so the home and back buttons blink , this is excellent.

I think some GPE roms let you choose to have blinking led for notifications even when charging and yes, ViperOne lets you specify how long the led should blink for (its set to 60 minutes by default! lol) and you can also turn on led blinking when charging
Use Light Flow LED app from the play store. It provides an option to set different colors for different notifications.

Okey, so that could be a good solution. However I am gonna stay on stock rom until 4.4 goes out, then I surely will try some roms with this tweak

Yeah mate I tried it, it seems to work, even it gets a weird yellow led, but the led stays static, I couldn't get it blinking
Came from a long line of blackberry's so the LED is probably one of the only things I really miss. You said you're rooted, have a look around in /system/customize/ACC/default.xml or whatever your CID's xml file is:
<item type="integer" name="NMS_feature_led_flash_timeout">5</item> - change the 5 to 0 and you should get no led timeout.
I also did the following (personal preference, I charge at night using a dock so i like to be able to glance over and see if theres anything waiting when on silent):
<item type="boolean" name="NMS_feature_flashlight_during_charging">false</item> - change from false to true and the led will blink for a notification even if it's charging.
Terrible LED is for me the only thing wrong with the One. Real shame. A partial solution for me is to install Dynamic Notifications (free/paid app) which give a Moto X type visual when notifications are received. I set it so the screen goes white instead of black and flashes every minute or so after a notification arrives. Still not ideal but saves relying on the crappy LED!

Really? That's so awesome. I will wait to arrive home to try that, just in case something goes wrong... But thank you so much, if it works.. That's all I was looking for
So then the only bad thing would be that it still weak and not multicolour. To be honest, is the only bad thing I can found in this amazing phone
You are wrong i think...

Dear friend the all think with the notification led is so wired for me.I bought my one with vodafone branded new with 4.1. something firmware i think.The notification led in that firmware was bright enough no problem at all.With the 4.3 firmware witch i had now the intensity of the notification led has reduced significantly, plus i noticed that if your phone switch of during to battery empty and then you plug it for charging, the notification led opens for 5 seconds as normal as in the previous android versions....then looses its power again....So i think that this is not a hardware problem .

Yup, agree about the LED, the green/red is a hardware limitation by HTC so lightflow and other 3rd party apps don't work in changing the colour.
I didn't explain the above fully but let me know if you any issues, will be happy to help.
Hmm I have not noticed less brightness with the last update, I feel it as weak as before..

Was just searching for light flow fix htc one and found this. Bummer but thanks
Would we cool if we at least could somehow mix the red/green blinks, ie having WhatsApp blinking red-green and LINE green-red. Is not much but at least would be something. You can even take it further and have more blinking states like green-green-red or red-green-red-green and so on. Xposed module anyone?

I was exactly thinking the same buddy!
also is there a way to make the 'back' and 'home' buttons bink, without installing another kernel?

I think it's possible (search on the Market). The main difference (I believe) is that the kernel-solution will not drain the battery (other than the power consumed by the lights) and a application should be running on the background all the time listening to all apps thus draining a lot more battery. This is just the way I see it, I don't not if it's really the case!
It stops after a few minutes because It would we shifty annoying if it's keep flashing in 2 hours...
