You've got two multicolour led's, at least one is multi colour, green blinking for network, orange when charging and green when fully charged.
Blue for bluetooth, obvious .
Now i wonder, how do i turn them off?
Is there a tool to do that ?
Im intrigued! Why?
When i'm watching divx with tcmp, i hate those blinking led's in front of me.
That's it

Buuuuuhhhhhtttttttt, how about JUSt turning the LED's off?
That was my original question, to turn off the LED's.
All other functions must remain available.
(Logitech Bluetooth Stereo )Headset, and when the phone rings i must pickup when on standby duty ......

But this is not a functional solutionas far as i read the article.
Searched and found that topic myself already by the way.....
For ur this simple prob u can simply paste a small piece of matching dark coloured tape so that they dont disturb u nemore. lol........
LOL, no that's covering up, not shuttung down
So anyone any ideas jet ?
They bother me a lot when traveling at night time, and it's in the holder, i want to be able to shut them down please.
Tape is no option.
They can be controlled and disabled, but it'll be messy to disable them. There are various drivers scattered around that want control of the leds.

Network, Charge and of course Bluetooth traffic are the ones i guess ?
How does one control these things, have you got any idea ?
The thing is, it's distracting me a lot when driving the car in the dark, that's why i ask. Also when watching divx it's distracting
The method I could write would be messy, inelegant. Easiest way is to disable allledmgr.

Sounds like a solution to me?
I have no idea to enable or disable allledmgr, can i do that in the Registry perhaps ? Would you like to teach me how to do that ?
Grtzzz from Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
You could always open the case up and try removing the LEDs.

Yeah, or buy a Nokia 8210 ....
Come on get serious
OK then, I'll be serious.
I have looked into this quite extensively in the past, tried hacking all sorts of settings in the registry and all I have managed to do in the past is turn off the network LED.
As far as I'm aware and have been able to work out, the Bluetooth and the WiFi are controlled by either the drivers or the hardware itself rather than registry settings and modifying the drivers is beyond my capabilities. Of course, if it's hardware then there's nothing that can be done.
Come on Vijay, I know you of all people can do it, good luck.

Here you go - VJImpoto, alpha release.
This will disable the LED driver (ie, battery charging leds, bluetooth, notification led, wifi led(?))
Note - by disabling the LED driver, the PDA won't be able to disable any currently activate leds, so eg if you're charging up (orange led active), and then run VJImpoto, the orange led will stay on until you soft reset whether you're charging or not.
So run it when you've got no LEDs on, and they'll stay off.
However: this is alpha, because I noticed that the "heartbeat" flash of the phone radio (green flash of led every few seconds) continues despite the LED driver being disabled: clearly that action is activated elsewhere on the system, so it'll need further investigation. However, this app merely disables AllLedMgr, so any flaws with that strategy carry here too.
Command line options:
-showinfo shows info on usage/donations
-debug shows feedback on whether it worked.
-killall killall will first attempt to switch off any active leds, so as discussed above, running VJImpoto -killall will first switch off the orange led, and then disable AllLEDMgr. However, this has the peculiar side effect of making the heartbeat flash now flash on the left green led on the Hermes. I recommend using -killall.
Please give feedback on if it worked for you. I'll make a cab later, .exe only for now.

First and atmost :
THANK YOU VERY MUCH for taking the time investigating and writing a possible solution for my little problem, however how small the problem seems, i have many thanks for you!
Don't have the time right now, but when arriving home it's on the top of my priority list, right below eating
AND WHOW IT WORKS!
For 5 to 10 minutes, then they all start blinking again.....
Here are my findings :
When i shut down all communications, and run the program from pocket-explorer, it works like a charm, even the Phone heartbeat won't blink.
After a period of 5 to 10 minutes however, they start blinking again.
The funny thing is, when i shut down all comunications, they keep blinking!
After a soft reset the situation is like before, as it seems to me, and they blink how they are supposed to, and stop blinking when turned off all communication devices.
I will look for a command line tool, and try it that way, for further examination, and ofcourse for finding the donation part
(by Paypal i assume ?)
Hi
I use my trinity as an alarm clock (as well as the 101 othering things including a phone!)
problem is the flashing lights annoy the hell out of me at night and i have to hide the phone under something to stop the green light acting like a beacon for every one wanting to pass on the right.
the hack turns off the lights but also the vibrate, which I use when in meetings.
Has anyone got or seen a simple tool to turn on or off the lights as required.
thanks in advance.
I lay my phone upside down on my bedside table then you don't see the lights!
Go kill the AllLEDMgr driver in the registry.
All LED will be gone - including normal notification LEDs like missed call or BT
You can couple it with say Mortscript to make a good toggle, only if you don't mind the reboot required.
hacking the reg
Disable flashing service LEDs
[HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\AllLEDMgr]"Index"=0
Note! Disables vibrating.As i said the hack stops the vibrate from working and I don't realy want to reboot after modifying the reg.

This is also my method
But I agred with you, it's f***ing annoying that beacons
disabling the vibro don't surprise me at all - circuit wise a vibrator is just like an led so its natural to have turf up with it in the driver.
that said I heard vj was developing a led manipulation tool for the hermes. tyou may want to do a search yourself.
I did a search, but couldn't find anything, so here goes...
When I'm watchinh a movie/video, I figured the button LED's (home/menu/back/search) would eventually turn off, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Is there a setting someplace that can disable those LED's after some amount of inactivity?
Thanks!
Justin
i was hoping for this too. there's program that works for the n1 and droid called LEDsHack. perhaps we could see if the dev can support the evo too. it allows you to turn the notification and menu leds on or off.
i would love this too as those stupid buttons bleed light onto my screen and it really looks like **** and bugs the hell out of me.
How difficult is it to use the phone with one hand?
On a Milestone, I always press the search button by accident, so I'm a little concerned.
And how do you guys cope with the fact that there's no notification led? I've tried using noled on Milestone (just to test it out) and I hated it.
I haven't found the lack of an LED to be that irritating. It vibrates every so often if you haven't checked for a notification anyway.
I haven't had any issues with using it one handed either. The buttons seem to stop you pressing them if you're interacting with the screen -- say typing for example.
one hand use if fine for me.
never had a phone with led notification on it so it doesnt bother me.
would be nice though .. one feature i miss from nexus one is the led flashing differnt colors for missed calls, messages , facebook, etc. etc.
I have an omnia HD
as you know there is no notification led at all and its just fine..
besides you have no idea how that tiny little led is power consuming... you may think its not and its a led but the power consumption goes up a few % killing your battery a little faster...
anyway only today I'll recieve the sgs2 so just then I will report about 1 hand..

I had no problems with the fact that there is no led. Why? Simple: whenever I LOOK at the phone I always PICK IT UP and unlock it. Just one button press. There is usually a bunch of unread gmails, yahoo mails, company emails, SMSs, texts, and push notifications from facebook, twitter, etc; plus a bunch of missed calls and voice mails that I do not care about. There is just SO MUCH TO CHECK that I can't imagine any simple light that would tell me anything I need to know and would eliminate the need to actually unlock the phone and look at the screen. A light worked well IMHO with dumb phones where the only events the phone could react to were a missed call , a VM and a SMS.
I miss having an led.
There is an app called noled on the market which is a decent replacement though.
1-handed operation is fine. Only 3 buttons and no search button!
Thanks, guys!
I do know there's no search button. I was just afraid I'm going to press the rightmost one (in this case the back button, of course) when I'm reaching for left top corner with one hand. Anyway, hopefully it will be fine.
I really wish it had notification LED. I'm a music major, so when I practice, I put my phone on the piano, and very often I cannot hear the alert or feel the vibration. So, notification LED is really important to me. I can only hope that BLN works, I guess.
Seriously; what's the care about this LED?
BLN is coming soon if it's hasn't come already - having the capacitive buttons light when there is a notification is terrific.
I miss the LED too -- I'm now using NoLED. Works well. Only issue is that it seems to buypass Widgetlocker.
So I've been doing some general googling, and I haven't come across a good solution for my issue, so I thought I would post it here. Nexus 7 is mounted on the dash of my car. Powers on and powers off (deep sleep), connects to hotspot fine, generally, is working great. HOWEVER, there is one feature that I would love to be able to replicate from OEM in dash systems that I've seen. I would like the screen to dim when the unit isn't actively being used. Not time out and go to sleep, just dim (or maybe even turn off the LED backlight). Then, when I tap the screen, I want the screen to come back to automatic brightness mode based on the ambient light sensor. I've found plenty of apps that will turn the screen on or off with various gestures and such, but they all seem to require disabling or otherwise changing the way the ambient light sensor works. From those of you that use these in your car, I'm hoping that you have some suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Hi, bigdogbts...
What you suggest certainly sounds feasible. I have no immediate solution, just some ideas/pointers.
Three pieces of software come to mind...
A Custom Launcher such as Apex or Nova. These give you a double tap gesture on the screen, which you can associate with some action to run... app, shortcut or 'activity'.
Lux Auto Brightness.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vito.lux
This is capable of reducing the screen brightness right down to zero, such that the device looks likes it's turned off.
Tasker.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
An app which is capable of automating all sorts of things on an Android device. You can associate an action instigated by the the user with a desired objective. Unfortunately, it has a bit of a steep learning curve... I bought it myself a few months ago, and I still haven't got around to really fully understanding it.
I suspect that if you can 'associate' Lux Auto Brightness (set with some pre-arranged brightness settings, ie., a completely dark screen) with a specified action (like double tapping the screen) with either Apex or Nova launchers (via gesture) or possibly with Tasker, maybe via a script...then you may be able to accomplish your goal.
As I've said, I think that what you're asking sounds possible... it's just a case of finding the right apps, and 'stitching' them all together. And maybe with a bit of tinkering with the apps I've mentioned, you can, hopefully, get something that works,
Good luck.
Rgrds,
Ged.
I think tasker can do something like that.
