i just purchased a touch hd and was wondering why the led indicator lights are not flashing?
i notice that there is an led indicator light on the power button and also next to the earpiece; from my old tytn II, the led indicator flashed amber for service and also blue for bluetooth.
i currently have service and my bluetooth is on, but i don't have any flashing indicators.
is there a setting to turn them on?
This is not a led is a light sensor.

The one next to the earpiece is a light sensor.
The other flashes green for missed event, stays green for finished charging, amber for charging, and flashes amber if you're low on power.
Is there a registry hack to get the "old" LED behaviour? (Cell locked in=Flashing green, Notification = flashing yellow, Bluetooth = flashing blue etc.)
I don't think there is a solution for this (yet).
in anycase, it is only a bi-colour LED - ie Amber and Green - no blue.
I have the same problem: my green led flashes for missed calls but not for incoming messages.....
Can you help me?
Thanx a lot

That LED is so tiny and dim I find it's easier to just hit the power button and look at my screen to see if I have missed calls/texts/etc.
well theorticall you woud have to seek out the powr button with eyes first
kdding
Thanks.....
My HD have an Italian ROM and the translation is poor...... nothing about "led blink"
I've resolved checking a flag translated as "turn on screen if incoming message".........
I think i'll try a WWE rom.....
Thanx a lot
dani, that is the correct option. Italian translations suck
I tried looking in the forum for any info on the status LED next to the speaker on the front side but I don't see any posts on this. Is this LED supposed to flash or do something? On my HD it has never worked? Is it supposed to work?
I remember on my Artemis it would flash green for good reception, blue for bluetooth and red if the battery was low.

I may be wrong but i was under the impresion that this was a sensor rather than a LED.
No, that's entirely correct, it is the light sensor. The LED is in the power button.
the status led is on the power button on the top right hand side of the blackstone...the place u highlighted is a sensor as what scotia has point out..
I think that it is a proximity sensor used to blank screen when you put the phone on your ear to talk.
It's actually the light sensor used for when you have automatic display brightness enabled. When it's dark, it turns down the brightness... And when it's a sunny day it cracks it up. I am not sure whether it's used to blank the screen during a call... This seems to happen after a period of time has elapsed.

ok thanks for the info.
So does the power LED on the top side flash any color to show the status of the reception or does it only light up orange when it charges?
Thanks.
doesn't do anything for reception..although mine flashes green hen I have a message/email/reminder
pity though, a decent LED to show such things was probably high on everyone's wishlist
No, the HD is perfectly unobtrusive. On my last PDA the LED had to be tweaked to stop flashing.
Too bad this isnt a LED diode Since I got on my Diamond a light notification (on the bottom of device)... when I recieved new sms... now on HD there is no way I can figure do I have new sms or notification unless I turn the screen on. The only hardware flaw by mine opinion
When its lying down, I agree with you. Then I have to turn on the screen. However when its lying next to me I'm usually not in a place were I can't use my phone, so the sound is on anyway.
I actually think its quite good the LED is on the top, it's easelly visible when the phone is in my pocket. I just have to pull the phone up a little and look down to see the LED (no need to get it out and turn the screen on). I like it on the top, nice and discreet, and not anoying me when I'm looking at the device while using it.
Perhaps a combination would be nice? Front and top That would sattisfy most people I guess...
Hi!
I don't know if this is by design or it is a problem with my device but I found very strange that there is no led light to show me if I have signal or not or if there is an event. The led from the power button goes orange when I charge my phone and continuously green when fully charged. But when the device is disconnected from power source the led just goes off and stays like that even if there is a missing call or an SMS. It at least should blink green to show that there is signal. It is the same for you? If yes, is there a way to turn on the led?
I am using Dutty's ROM 2.1.
Thanks!
It does...
Change your sounds and notifications settings.
Sorry to insist but can you be more speciffic? What should I change there? For intance on the Missed Call I have selected "Display message on screen" and "Flash light for 30 minutes".
I am also using PhoneAlarm and this one is set to flash the led for most of the events. But it does not work either.
Thanks!
yes, you change to "flash for xx secs" for xx event
but the rest of the time it is off
its only 2 colour, ornage for charging and green flashing for events... .no blue for BT or steady on etc for signal
As I said, it is already set like that.
The LED is located on the power button.
Buggered setting i guess, try turning off the flash setting then try a reset and then turn back on again,
I will do that, thanks!

Does HD has blue LED for BT ?? mine doesn't shows blue LED for Bluetooth ( Only Green and Orange LED found. HTC original ROM 1.19 something). Am I missing something or there is NO blue LED like Elf/in
Can anyone confirm / clarify ?
Thanks ahead
Just tiny, faint green/amber LED. No Blue.

Thanks for the reply. Blue LED would be much appreciated though. ( it looks cool on my Elfin)
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*
I've written an app that can enable and disable the blue led with a toggle. I would like to know for who this works. Please test it and tell me .

For some reason my Desire went buggy and crashed at some point. However something amazing happened.
Contrary to popular believe, there are more colors than red, green and orange. My Desire's LED flashed blue and purple. Now I searched the forums and could not find any topic that confirmed this, nor on google, so just to let you guys know .
Next point on the list is finding an application that can tweak them

EDIT: Seeing the recent activity in this thread, I want to tell you this app was written a long time ago. It does not function on any recent roms. There are loads of other apps out there that can control your led.

Gheh, it only showed for like a few seconds, then the phone restarted, I will try to replicate the bug, but I expect I will be unsuccessful .
Interesting. I got my Desire yesterday and installed the Touchdown app for corporate connectivity. In TD's settings you can customise the LED behaviour to select different colours (beyond red, green and amber) for different events. Tried it and it just flashed green, but why have these settings if there's not a way to do this...interesting
I have been able to replicate the bug. This is how I do it:
1. Turn on Bluetooth
2. Receive a text message while charging
3. Disconnect from charger
4. Turn off screen
5. Reconnect to charger
6. My led will glow purply
7. Disconnect the phone from the charger
8. Led starts flashing blue, orange and purple
9. Phone reboots
Taking pictures as we speak

I've added the images. It was too hard to take a picture of the blue color. But at least here is purple.
PS. images are in the first post
EDIT: Also, I should add, I have been unable to duplicate the color for a second time. No idea why it happens. Just happy I was able to get these pictures
i did what you said. no special colors but strange things happens. no reboot
Re: Notification LED Multicolor (Picture of purple included)
Looks like the desire does some how support multi colours :S there must be a way to enable this fully within the codes. I will be donateing if the devs can get this to fully work

I have tried and tried and I have been unable to replicate this bug from this point on. I'm so happy I was able to take the pictures. I think it's because of a semi-faulty flash that I have this bug. Even though the randomality of it suggests it might be more of a hardware bug. We do however now know it has a blue led too. So cyan and white should be possible as well. I just wonder, why go through the trouble of a adding a full multicolor led, if you are only going to use 3 colors of the possible 7.
there might be something as simple as a voltage problem.
most leds will change color when you increase voltage and/or overload them.
the first few times you won't see any damage, but eventually the changing color might be permanent and then it's just a matter of time before the led just brakes.
so there is a change that it's not multi color, but the phone just overloads the led while crashing.
When I looked down the headphone port I could clearly see the red and blue led burning. I do really think there is a blue led in there.

Haa nice one mate
Well we know there is a Red and Green led for definite so having a Blue as well means we have multi colour. Now we just need a way to use it
There's no way that type of colour came from overloading the phone as when an LED overloads it just blows, it doesn't change colour to that extent.

Agreed lol. Just need the devs to add the code somewhere to enable this colour

This should really be moved to the dev section, let the guys play with it, i dont think too many devs trawl through the ****e on the general forum, with questions like "how do i make a call on my phone".. lollol
Start a new thread on the dev section, im sure this will be picked up by one of the wizzes

Heh, I'm sorry guys, but we already know there's a BLUE led inside.
This LED works a bit differently from the other LEDs, however.
Theres no need to do advanced tricks to show the blue LED, you
can easily enable it:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/leds-microp/blue/brightness
From within a terminal emulator.
the blue LED is, however, missing the 'blink' property, as the Green and Amber LEDs do.
And yes, it is also possible to turn other LEDs on at the same time, so you can make purple by enabling the BLUE and Amber LEDs.

Then can we not just simply integrate that command into our applications for use of the blue LED?
