so with *#0*# I can test the LED, when I do it, I can cycle it through red/blue/green from the main list and magenta from the sublist, but I can't do yellow, cyan or white.
is this normal?
That's because all we have is red and blue. Which also creates magenta. We don't have green

damn, why no green? I thought this was a "high end" phone, samsung couldn't even spring for a tri-color LED??
Is there a way, on a stock phone, i can get blue to be the default notification color instead of red?

Not currently. I started a thread about having the backlight turn on when a message is received. I think this should be the same.
another thing google needs to fix ASAP!
I want the damn light to turn on when I get a message (screen)

Doesn't the light blink Green when the phone has service and/or WIFI, Orange when charging, Blue for bluetooth and Red when the battery is low?
Just curious on WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOUR EXPECTING inside jk

I just noticed my battery like is down to 12% the notification light, isn't blinking at all.
Even with Bluetooth or wifi on my light does not blink blue. Weird.
I wonder if this is included in Androids "memory saving" feature. *Since the Android will self close apps in the background when it needs more memory. I don't know.
green blink
I just sent a txt to myself. light blinks green... cool!
Doesn't the light normally blink green, in stand-by mode?

The light doesnt blink as others cell phones do. The only time the light blink is when there is something in the notification bar. Test it out...
blue led?
I have yet to see the blue light just green orage and red...
anybody seen a blue led on a g1?
I think there's only one LED on the G1, and it's a red/green one (that looks yellow when both sides are energized.)

You can get it blue wen you hold the track ball down and powering up the phone.

I think it is four sided. Red, Orange, Green, and Blue
I have seen green and red LEDs mix before... and this doesn't look like that.
Just rooted me phone. Thanks to everyone who contributed to it!
With root, do we have control over the led color notifications finally? Or does that require more semantics?
Moto Droid's LED notifier is RGB. DroidINC has to have something similar right, because we get Red, Green, and Orange..unless they someone how have three colors in that tiny hole...
I don't understand... what does the study of words and the meaning herein have to do with LED control? Did I miss something?

What do you mean LED color? The LED flash is the only LEDs on the phone and they are one color. You can swap it out for a custom color leds and put them in the place of the dual flash LEDs but other than that you can not change the color.

Oh, let's not argue about semantics
I read somewhere other than XDA that HTC had released the Incredible devices source code which, if true, will lead to all kinds of devices-level mods. I personally would like to see the soft button backlights be dimmeable, or individual controllable for different kinds notifications, or possible a scrolling/marquee style effect so it looks like KITT is in charge ehehe.

He's talking about the notification LED on the front of the phone.
and OP there's nothing out that I'm aware of as of now.
I don't think any software modification would allow you to change the color of the notification LED at the top or the LEDs at the bottom (Home, menu, etc). However, I don't know anything about LED technology to argue my thought(s). I assuming that whatever color bulb they put in there is what you get.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to have the bottom buttons a red color to match the top speaker/camera areas because the phone would look absolutely badass but I'm not about to pry the screen off or take the phone apart to do it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Dinc has at least a green and red LED for notifications. The Moto Droid however has RGB so you can pretty much make any color appear. That is also why there are a lot of options in apps like Handcent and Missed Call.
Sorry for the confusion, all. But yeah, I was referring to the LED notification on the front.
The LED flash on the back- is a bulb which can only push out white. But the one in the front pushes out Red, Green, and Orange. And with the moto droid, you could manipulate color notifications with different programs..
so my question is more of- is it software that locks those colors or hardware that does... thanks for clarifying my question-jrkrush2112
I suspect the notification LED in the Dinc is a tri-color which gives you red, green and a form of brown which looks like amber. It is not a RGB LED like in the Moto Droid.
So you already have the colors that are available.

It's most likely a mix of both. The hardware portion is the fact that we don't have an RGB LED like the droid, and software is just what options are pre-set. We will be able to change the colors for notifications, but we are limited in options.
I've been looking to change the LED notification color on my mytouch slide however it seems that the hardware is limited to only green and orange...
anyone successfully changed the LED out for a multicolored one?
there is only 2 led colors and thats them

I think he's asking if anyone has replaced the 2-color one with a multi-color one. At least, I think.
I haven't done much research, but I don't think anyone's mentioned it.
I haven't pulled the slide apart to check, but most 2-color LEDs only have 2 leads to solder to the board. The color is changed by polarity. Multicolor RGB LEDs have four leads: one for common, and one for each of red, green, and blue. I can't imagine HTC would include the board traces for it and not include it.
I am still new to this phone.. but i'm trying to find out if the LED light allows for more colors than just Green and Amber ?
I had tried LED Light Manager and it didn't seem to make other colors..
Now that i'm rooted and running Viper ROM.. I see that they only have options for "apps to use amber instead of green"...
so does that mean that is the only color options?
Thanks!

Right.
It's not like the Samsung galaxy phones that use a red, green, and blue led and basically mix the colors to create any color of the rainbow, the HTC's have just an amber or green LED and you have the choice of one or the other or neither

yeah i think that is what i was used too... had the S4, S3 and also the Nexus 5... all had various colors for the LED.
my biggest gripe is i wish it was a larger and brighter LED.. but overall still a wonderful phone.
So I tested the notification LED, and no matter which colors I set in the apps, most were not showibg correctly.
So I started the internal test (dial *#36446337# to enter the internal test program, then go manual test and then led test.
There you can set the brightness of all 3 color leds manually.
With all 3 set to 100% I'd expect roughly white. Instead, this looks white-ish on my led:

Red and green gives yellow, but not here, it's alnost pure green. I get yellow with this setting:
i.imgur.com/Y0RShNu.png
So it seems the red LED is massively underpowered against blue and green, making all color settings in apps look wrong.
Does this look different on your 1+5?
Really? No one cares? The test takes 2 minutes!
I agree (but no, I don't particularly care) - the green LED seems much stronger, and the red may be a little weak.
RBG @100% only has a slight blueish tint for me. G+B looks like a reasonable cyan. I think what qualifies as "yellow" is subjective (c.f. "grue"), but I agree R+G is closer to green than yellow.

Keep in mind that the human brain is less sensitive to red.
Um, yeah, I know that, but that needs to be integrated in the led calibration. All three at 100% have to show white.
Anything else doesn't make sense at all. In the settings there are 8 colors to choose from, and those have to be the colors you actually see if you choose them.
