It really annoys me when I talk on the phone, the trackball is flashing. Is there a setting for that that I can't find?
Thanks
2.1 and CM 5.0.7.1-N1
I proposed the idea on the Cyanogenmnod forums that it be made an option to turn off or to only blink when you're on speakerphone. I don't think the idea got anywhere, though. Hopefully someone will see this
Can you use Locale and set up a situation where if it's on a call it disables the trackball pulse (you also have to download the trackball pulse Locale add-on). I don't use Locale too often, but I think it will let you set a situation like that.

Hi, wonder if anybody has a way to get rid of the keyboard clicking sound on the Universal?
It would be so far better when use in quiet meetings. I was looking at the sound setting but didn't find anything there. Want to check to see if there is any registry heck or other ways to fix this.
Thanks!
go to settings->sounds
disable there the checkbox for the hardware buttons
This is strange as the hardware botton box was never ticked in the first place... I tried tick and untick and softreset it but it does not seem to work. The keyboard clicking sound still there...
Any further advice please?
The keys have a mechanical click sound built in - very difficult to get rid of.
On a similar subject - anyone know how to turn off the clicks that happen when you use the start menu?
sounds and notifications - uncheck 'Events (warnings, system events) I'm not sure what all else you lose, but it turns off what you wanted.
Thank you.
It would be so nice to have a seperate volume level for sms and system sounds.
It really is bad to have them put into one volume setting.
Developers... any ideas? Calling Vijay/Buzz... and other smart PPC devs?
the clicks are mechanical , you can't get rid of them,
a trade off between membrane and swith activated keyboards,
although more noisy, the switch activated responseivness is better
cheers

Thanks all for your responses. Looks like I'll need to explore other input methods during quiet meetings...
Hi guys,
Is there any reg hack to make the LED flash faster for notifications by changing the interval?
It really bugs me not being able to tell the difference between a notification and low battery level because they both flash the same colour
i too agree ..... any answers anyone?
here, here.
One of the features i miss that was on the prophet. The LED would flash at twice the rate for a message, so was easily spotted.
Glad im not the only one who would like this feature. It would be really nice if there was a way to do it.
Anyone?
the blinking is way too slow! sometime i have to stare at the phone for awhile to see the light to comfirms my pdaphone is ON.
Yeah i find myself doing that but to see if i have a new message/missed call etc. It's a shame nobody seems to know of a way to modify the speed at which it pulses

Forget that, to tell difference between bluetooth on and wifi on is a killer!
I was wondering if the reg settings from the wiki for custom notifications (flash led x seconds) is applicable? I haven't tried it, but thought if i said, flash for 5 seconds, it would be like a steady on for 5 seconds, off, on for 5 seconds?
What is the reg setting for custom notifications? The only key i can see mentioned in the Wiki is RingTone0 which is for incoming calls not for other notifications.

Oh. I thought that you could set that for all types of notifications individually.
sorry!

It would be good if that was possible, but i don't think it is..?
bumping this thread; wondering if anyone has discovered a way yet?
I'd like to stop the service blinking LED (only blink for notifications) Any hacks out there? Yes, I searched...
BUMP BUMP!!
Cant belive that nobody found a solution.
Its really anoying that I can not check if a SMS arrived or bluetooth is switched on just by a short look.
The blinking frequenzy on my Hermes is 3 sec for the green (right) led and 6 sec. for the blue (left) led.
This is definitly too long.
PLS. post a solution!
Any sulution?
1)
I know there is a thread already existing: (General/Dev + Hacking: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295729&highlight=hack+led+possible+on+wm6).
But its written that this is not stable, especialy when device is in standby mode.
2)
I remember there was a reg hack too to change a script which is responsible for controlling the leds. But this is only for ringtone, not for notifications! (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Registry)
I guess such a little (userfriendly) programm which can change frequency and colour of the LED´s for notifications would be very usefull to all.
Or even a registry hack would help.
Vijay555, if you read this: please help and enlighten us!
nobody ???
Ah -- all the developers hae now flocked to the Kaiser. it's the damned nature of the beast!
I think so too,
Everybdy is spending too much time with useless romcocking.
Comeon, such a hack would be really usefull!
No Answers?
I do agree, it would be VERY usefull.
Just adding to the pot of would like to have.
hey guys i was trying out the android sdk for the vogue and it is awesome..especially the keyboard and how it vibrates every time you press a key. i was wondering if there is a program or registry edit that can make windows keyboard do that? i currently use pcm keyboard and that would be an awesome addition to wm6.1. idk if it is possible but i would love that add-on
EDIT: i heard pcm has done that for v0.16 but it is still very unstable and the skins suck right now..unless someone can make that setting for v0.14 or a program/edit can do that i guess we might just have to wait till v0.17
try voa vibrate.exe

If this working I will be very happy. Thank you!
vibrate soft keyboard - status ?
So did it work ?????????? or did u find something else ?
I'm using one that will vibrate with every screen touch. im loving it. you can control the intensity of the vibration also.
worth giving a try!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450256
Well, the one problem with the Vibrate option is that it may cause the White Dot Issue, which somehow gets onto the screen and stays there due to the Vibrate Mechanism..I'm not sure why, but it has happened to beware.
I'd like to take advantage of the colored notifications for different events like SMS, e-mail, missed calls, etc. Is there a good, reliable (hopefully free) app that I can use to set the different colors? I tried Blink, and it was very finicky and didn't really work (it kept resetting itself back to white). Are there any other options out there that work?
Trackball Alert
/Thread
Trackball alert (free or donate version) does what you want. Only problem is it doesn't work with CM6. Works moDaco's r21 though.
i tried blink too. and it just don't work for me.
is your n1 rooted? if yes, look for trackball alert or trackball alert pro. both are very good and reliable program.
DUDE, are you serious? ALWAYS search first (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9q2jNjOPdk).

Look at the first "APP" result.

Trackball alert pro works with cm6 rc2

Calm down there buddy. People posting responses such as yours and not even including valid help to follow it (your link does not produce any results) is just as bad if not worse than "those that do not search first".
Here... allow me to post what you should have said instead...
"The stock ROM does not allow you to manually change the trackball notification colors for your apps (unless it happens to be a feature that a developer built-in specifically for such app). But there are apps such as Blink or Trackball Alert that will let you change your notification color.
Also, keep in mind that this topic has been covered in this forum many times before. So if you hadn't tried the search feature before posting this, please keep it in mind for the future."
There, that sounds much better...
And for the rest of you "SEARCH FIRST OMGWTFBBQ!" nazis, let's not forget that xda has over 440,000 threads and almost 6.5 MILLION POSTS. Searching for something as common as trackball colors or notifications or alerts also generates tons of ROM development threads, generic update threads, etc. So stop listening to the whispers of your LOLCATS and get back to the reality that we are all human and are here to help each other respectfully.

Thank you. I did search first, but "colored trackball notification" turned up a ton of stuff, a lot of which I could hardly see any relevance in.
I tried the Blink app with little success, and from what I can tell Trackball Alert only works on rooted phones with certain custom ROMs.
Are there any apps similar to Blink, except that actually work, that don't require your phone to be rooted? I'm going to wait for my warranty to expire before I root my phone.

I am not aware of any other apps except Blink that do what you are looking for. But I also haven't done much looking for one. Any time I've seen the question come up, Blink and Trackball Alert seem to be the answer 99% of the time. So I would assume that Blink is going to be your main/only option for now.

Blink is about it for unrooted. It completely works fine for me (stock frf91 not rooted). It will only blink the notify colors when the device is off. In addition, I added the free app 'gmail notifier' for Email notifiy color (since Blink has no setting for email notifies).
I believe Blink only works if you don't change the frequency setting for the notifications. If you just change the color it seems to work fine.
Also I would suggest that you can now Root your phone without actually unlocking the bootloader and voiding the warranty.
In one of the beta releases of Froyo, there was a security gap which grants root access even if the bootloader is still locked. The process isn't that hard. It does involve cutting a portion of a tab off of your battery for best results (its useless anyway).
Unfortuneately you have to go back to the latest Eclair build, update to FRF72, then FRF85. There is a thread in the ROMs forums with very detailed step by step instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710842
And a really good STOCK like rooted DEODEXED rom that is ready for anything without all the bloat that I really like, even has a white stock-like taskbar or a black themed taskbar:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714184
Trackball Alert Pro is just a little over $3.00 USD and it's worth it.
The only thing that sucks is that you gotta wait 30mins for goggle to validate before you install.
Blink works great on my Nexus One running Froyo 2.2 (not rooted).
However, changing the frequency settings have no effect at all over trackball blinking speed (Normal = Very Fast). Blink is also missing an option to change the LED color on new e-mail notification. It blinks in standard white color. But yeah... I can perfectly live with that!

I use Blink as well on my Nexus and I have the same experience as you. Great little app.
If you want free Gmail color notifications, try Gmail Notifier(Froyo version). It's in the market and it's free and is solid as a rock. It never stops running and always works and has all the color options.
I'm using this app called 'Missed Call' on my stock N1 (2.2) and it just works fine.
It seems that with a combination of Blink and Gmail Notifier I've set up my notifications to an acceptable level. I wish Froyo had it natively with options for ALL notifications. Hopefully they'll add that in a future update.
Thank you for all your help and suggestions!
With as much time as I spend lurking here and cyber stalking Team Douche, I should probably know this, so I'll bury my stupid question on page two of a thousand threads on trackball notifications - Why were they included in CM5 but not CM6? I assume it was something Google "fixed" that made it unpossible?

Sorry if this is trivial but this is my first Samsung device I was HTC exclusive for quite some time just needed a change..
Anyway here is my problem: I am not getting any vibration when it come to alerts. Text email etc. It works for incoming calls and haptic work when typing and using soft keys. So is th is just how Samsung does things or am I overlooking a setting somewhere ? Not the end of the world just trying to customize the phone a little better for me
Again sorry if it's such a trivial thing I just can't seem to change it
