Trackball always lighted on in red - Nexus One General

Yesterday I noticed a strange thing. The trackball of my nexus one is always lighted on in red color (sometimes in yellow). I don't know how to light off it, I installed the trackball notification program, I don't know if it depends on it. I tried to remove the program, but nothing changed. Is the only solution a deep reset? Thank you

Please don't create a new thread just for your probleme but use the trackball notification program thread if you want to have answer .
Thanks

LED Notifications Pointless?

Is there a way to assign a certain color/pattern to a particular event?
Right now, I have no idea what the lights are indicating.
Anyone else have a better experience with this feature?
Also, I can't even see them cuz they are on the side! Can they get bright?
I believe there is, though I can't help you since I haven't got mine yet
I remember seeing a review where the guy was changing the status LED's. You sure it's not in the manual?
Yeah they are pretty crap, along with the panels and the 'charging via usb from a pc'!
Though I really like my Xperia alot, I have to admit that LED notifications are not very helpful. It's not possible to change them - they are predefined for a couple of events without any possibility to be modified.
Changing the LED's should be possible with PhoneAlarm. But I am still waiting for my X1, it is on the way, but therefore I can't tell you exactly.
if you want too see what the leds dothen why haven't you gone into start>settings>system illumination
it shows you!
I'm sure this feature is modable, then I'm 'officially' request an app to enable customizing LED illumination
I find them useful ... especially when the battery is running low.
ideally I just want something that flashes clearly to say I have a new message or glows red to say the battery is low.
The location and brightness of the leds is dreadful.
Leds 'are' for the night and muted sounds mode

AGREED .
If you look in the registry at 'HKCU/Software/SonyEricsson/Illumination' there are some hex codes for different alert. Maybe someone with the right know how could whip up a little prog to modify them. Of course he woule first need to figure out what combination of hex number coraspondsto what colour the lights flash and how long they stay on
I would have to say the LED's are a bit pointless for most notifications u do have to look at the display. I would say the fish are more useful in letting u know the battery is dead then the LED's....

X1 Illumination control

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

Most welcome
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

Reminder led blinks for only 5 minutes!

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.
is there any solution to this other than using a third party app?

using touch button lights for notification?

Hi I know there is an excellent app out which allows a little red square to appear on the screen when you get a notification.
I miss a notification led but was thinking could the lights for the touch buttonds be used instead, I was thinking used the menu button for email/text messages and the back button for missed calls as they kind of look like the right sort of symbols anyway, plus the screen wont need to be turned on at all ( the screen does produce some light when it is only a black background)
I will be taking tomorrow off work to attempt to learn android and possible make a simple live wallpaper but if anyone can point me in the right direction I may look at doing this also

It's a trackpad
And it's impossible to change the color, because it's just a white LED.
