I just bought the droid 2 global and the green led wont turn off. Anybody know what to do?

Does the Green LED just keep flashing or is it consistently on? If its just flashing, than it just means you have an unchecked notification from your email or social networking, doesn't it?
Also somewhat related, when I plug in/charge my Droid 2, the white LED right next to the plug lights up and doesn't turn off unless I disconnect my Droid 2. It's kinda annoying since the light is fairly bright and I charge my phone when I sleep, is there anyway to turn this off?

That light isn't able to be shut off that light is to tell you that your phone is getting power from the outlet. It's helpful if you aren't sure if an outlet is switched on or working or you can distinguish a bad charging cable from a good one.

Why not just use a black indelible marker to cover the white LED? It will still be visible, but won't be as bright.
Cheers,

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...
So I know that when you are charging the A500, the light is orange and when its charged the light is white.
My problem is that my A500 is on my bedside table and I am an extremely light sleeper. I have woken to find the white light has come on and is staring me in the face. It usually comes on and goes off by itself. Yes, I know I can cover the A500, tape over the light, etc....
The A500 is sleeping, in silent mode and the wifi is off and the charger is disconnected.
So what keeps triggering the power switch light by itself?
PS, 3.2 stock rooted.

More than likely you have some apps that are attempting to do update notifications and such. You will have to look at each app's settings, and turn them off.
Either that, or turn the tab the opposite direction. Man, it's a spotlight
While chargeing my xoom, a white light started to flash in the top-right side of the xoom.
someone know what is it?
that's your notification light. Shouldn't flash during charge because you connected the charger though, but much rather whenever you receive a notification (like new E-Mail, etc.)
It will still flash notifications while charging while the Xoom is on, but shouldn't if you have it powered down...
I (of course) do not have root, but I am running light flow. It seems to be working fine, the LEDs that should go on are working and in the proper colors.
I have unchecked all the LED notifications under settings.
However, when I turn my phone off, the green LED light goes on immediately. It is not plugged in, and it's down to around 92% battery or so.
I even tried disabling all charging/battery related LEDs but still the green LED is on.
Anyone else having this? Any thoughts?
Light Flow is known to cause problems on the S3.

And I was wanting to download and use that.
Yes, I see after further testing that uninstalling light flow fixes the issue. Dangit, it appears light flow is far and away the best LED app. I put a note in feedback about it, hopefully the dev will be able to solve it. I'll try it again once we have root for the US version.
Any know if the light flow creator is working on this?
It's listed in the known issues on the developer's site, so I assume they are working on it:
hxxp://www.folioflow.com/ff/page/website/lightflow/pageId/1931
it has something to do with interactions with the built in notifications.. if you disable them then light flo doesnt work.. if you turn them on then whenever the phone goes to sleep a green light comes on.. bummer
i used the LED color tester app and all the LEDs colors are off from what the previous commands were, i guess... so its going to be a while until the led programs work properly
A dimmed Red LED stays on all the time on my Galaxy S4. If i turn the phone off it still stays on until i pull the battery out and as soon as i put the battery back in the Red LED turns back on. It's not bright red like when you connect the charger, its dimmed down. I almost sure this is a hardware issue but not sure exactly where and i no longer have warranty. (notes: screen is cracked from the bottom near the home button, not other damages) Any one have had this issue?
Thank you!
