I'm not very optimistic about this, but is there a way to enable LED notifications while the phone is charging? It works very nicely when running off battery power, but if the phone is plugged into the charger (or a PC via USB) the LED always shows either steady yellow (for charging) or steady green (for fully charged) - and this overrides anything that might otherwise give me a flashing green LED. I'd prefer it if incoming messages gave me a flashing green LED, even while the phone is running on external power. Is this possible?

It should be possible. I had my notification Led flash whenever I got a text message while charging on my mytouch 3g. I just flashed a zip I got from droidbasement and it worked great. Sadly I've been looking for one for my mytouch 4g and I have yet to find something like it.

On mine it works, when I have a unread SMS LED alternates, about ten seconds orange and few seconds green. May be You've made some tweaks? Try hard resetting your phone, it should work as I wrote.

Can anyone explain to me HTC's logic in this:
"The indicators are listed in order of priority. For example, if your device is connected to a power adapter and is charging the battery, the LED will be solid amber and will not switch to a flashing green light even if there is a pending notification."
I keep my phone on the charger a lot of the time and I have missed several voice mails and text messages as a result of this behavior. Is there a way to change this (I am stock/unrooted) or anything in the marketplace that will fix it?

HTC does this, and it drives me crazy. It was the same way on my TP2 - if charging, it'll be orange. If fully charged, it will be green. It will stay that way, even in the presence of a notification.
I'd love to see green flashing over the orange when charging. Maybe the LED flashing OFF with a notification while fully charged. Probably not going to happen though, it never did for the TP2.
You'll need to root to fix something like this, if we even have access to it.
There's an app called always flash that does exactly that you just need root

hello, a bit of time with any rom, the LED does not become more green when the phone is charging to spend
Sorry, can you rephrase that?
yes, sorry my english, when the phone is charging, the LED turns green when charged (it only does when off)
It's a known bug. The Phone LED does not turn green when it is charged in the switched off mode. Not too big an issue though, you can switch on the phone and check it.
Currently , there are no known workarounds for that unfortunately.
ok, thanks
I just got the Huawei IDEOS X5. Once the battery ran low, I plugged it to the charger. The problem is that the Led Status Indicator (above the screen on the front of the phone) doesn't become orange (it is green). According to the instructions this Led should be orange while the charge is in progress, and become green once the phone is fully charged. This behavior does not follow the info described in the manual of the phone.
Has anyone had the same problem? Do you know why this is happening? Should I return the phone back to the seller?
Thanks

Led burns green, when the battery is above 90% or so. Under that should be orange. Sometimes when you plug in the charger, it takes time even to start charging (Led is green then). I'd say try to observe more
I thought the same when I first start charging my device, but when the device was fully charged I realized that the led(which seems to me green) wasn't.
The orange color of the led it's not so orange(like was on other devices) but is more close to green(again the green on other devices). On ideos the the green led it's not so light and yellowish, it's more deep like trees green.
And what sanpsa says happens also after 90%
Thank you guys. You were 100% right both!
Dunno, whether it depends of soft or not, but when battery below 15% (or 10%) LED should be red. For mine device it's so.

Thats true...
I have a Mytouch 4g (I got it in this condition from somebody else, so i dont know the history).. phone seems be in mint condition and from what i can tell it never got disassembled.
Phone seems to be completely dead, when i power on, nothing comes up, no boot splash etc.. but something odd happened when i plug it in to my computer.. it started blinking orange light and i noticed that my computer detected a USB mass storage device and such. still the phone wont boot for any combination of buttons. the orange blinking light stops few seconds after i remove the cable. Battery seems to have gotten charged by this phone. My computer shows a new "removable drive".. but my SD card that i put in it cannot be accessed.
anything i can try? any ideas? i do see that when its plugged in, if i hold power button down, it will stop blinking and then starts blinking again.

You're battery is completely drained. If you have an HTC charger plug it in and let it sit. After awhile the blinking orange light will turn in to a steady orange light to indicate that it is charging. It has nothing to do with bricking, you just have a dead battery

negative on that. i put a fully charged battery from my other MT4G into this one. when its not plugged in, i dont get any blinking light. when i have it plugged in, its constantly blinking.
also, everytime i connect it the computer, it does detect the USB . i get the connection sound through the PC speaker
I have Pdanet installed.. I tried with my other mt4g, powered it off, connected to the computer.. USB is detected and the PDANet detects the phone being attached (even though the phone is off), orange light stays solid
when i connect the MT4G (bricked).. USB gets detected, Pdanet never detects a phone being attached.. orange light keeps blinking
is it possible that the phone is not detecting the battery? or the battery status?
I had some chinese wall chargers I used for the batteries because the usb port on the phone doesnt work anymore. the 2 of those chinese ones stopped working.
I went to the store and got the bck5200 although its in a local lg box. not the regular lg usa type box. just the charger. no battery
the problem is the light flashes and at times stays on. but its random. its red but doesnt always stay red. at times it flashes and at times it doesnt.
is the light supposed to stay on or flash?
From my experience, the light should stay on, either green or red. I've actually seen mine flash orange once or twice - I never did work out why

Same experience here with the occasional "orange flash". It only happened two or three times. My guess was a hot/warm battery was inserted.
Otherwise, there is a series of flashes when the unit is first plugged into the wall, then the light should be constant red while charging, then green when fully charged.
