[Q] Flashing LED notifications? - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

Sorry to start a whole thread for one simple question.
Just installed WP7. Is there no way to get the LEDs to flash for incoming mails, SMS, whatever? I work in a silent environment, and if it's not possible, I have to go back to 6.5.

sorry but its not possible at the moment better off with win 6.5 until the next WP7 release

I dont know how or why, but I get green LED notifications for mail, sms and orange for low battery...
?

At this point, you are the only one. We get the low battery and missed call but SMS/Mail? You are the first who has reported it. Good for you!

good for you for the rest of us (99%) will wait for a fix

OK, thanks. I've already rolled back to 6.5, which ain't all that bad, considering the lack of apps (GPS for one...) in WP7.

The only thing that was making my jasjam freeze so much are the bugs in the windows. Best for me till now is the black pro 2.0. One more ROM left to try (they say its the best) the LVSW 6 (did i spell it right?). Cheers man keep Software to minimum

I have found that when I type an SMS (Text Message) the keyboard is sometimes not recognised...
I will be typing and it will just miss out letters, I also type and about 3 seconds later the text will appear...
Is anyone having this issue?
I think an idea might be to go onto the I-mate site and ask the live support as they may have a fix. www.imate.com

Incoming SMS

Hello all, Just wondered, on my Dash, when I got incoming SMS the screen will tunr on and let me see the msg for a while, then go to idle again. on the Snap, its not. I only hear the sound and thats it... any way to change it?
not yet..but im sure with time and reg tweaks we'll figure that out!
also im sure the new rom being cooked by ookba will have a few new added surprises

Yea, it's something under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power. I just cannot recall what. Carefully poke around in there or do some searching about that key and SMS. Good luck!
What can I say, I love this forum!
looking forward, and every day for your new cooked rom
There is an app called SMS Bubble which will allow this.
I have SMS bubble installed but there is no option for that, or at least I didn't find it...
I was also trying to look at the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Power
but cant figure out which one I need

HD2 new email green blinking light

have anyone face problem with the green LED that should blink when new email arrives? all others like missed call, SMS works ok.
HTC support did not give me any real answer.
tried some tweaks but it is still not working.
any idea?
This doesn't work on anyone's HD2, regardless of ROM afaik. Plenty of folks have contacted HTC about it, but they have yet to officially acknowledge the problem, much less try to fix it.
Only 2 workarounds I'm aware of:
-use PhoneAlarm . The developer has made a special beta version that enables the blinking light.
-use this app by Netripper that makes the keypad LEDs light up when a new email arrives.
Thanks for information since HTC claims in their reply to me that all is OK with their SW and it works, which is not true.
Yeah, I had a big row with them about it.
They just kept claiming that if I sent my HD2 back to them they could flash it and fix it. They promised that they had it working on their handset.
I didn't want to send my unit back so they won this round
same situation with me but i would probably visit Taiwan soon and creat direct contact with their HQ so let's see how they respond once it comes from the mngmnt.
Cool! Go pound on their frigging desks for me, too!
it works for me and i just changed back to stock rom?
using 1.66

You're saying that you can change the settings in Sounds and Notifications to set the LED to flash for a certain number of minutes if you receive a new email?

New email, not SMS, not voicemail . . . right?
(thinking maybe he works for HTC support, as they say theirs works just fine too...)

It surely doesnt! Send yourself an Email right now and tell me again, that your LED next to the earpiece is flashing green...
its a shame because i will be returning my device for this reason. PA didnt work at all netrippers program works somewhat but the email has to be read in order cor the keypad fo stop blinking and thebother provram worms great 70% of the time but has too many bugs. that plus the slow loadingg music player is just too much i love winmo but i have learned to live with Android
checked it in the HQ during my visit there in Taiwan and they just told me that it works but when i asked to approach the support and show them it doesn't so they would fix it in my phone they just ignored and refused to meet me with 1 million excuses why not....
so the green led won't work for emails notification in my phone and with such working method in the HQ of HTC, i think that the Leo is my last HTC phone. :-(
Without a doubt they knew of this problem before the release. Even using android I'm still stuck supporting HTC. r

PhoneAlarm works perfect on my HD2. You just have to install version 2.32 build 405 (final). Version 2.40 didn't work on mine either.
That version worked for me as well but at least 2 out of 50 email faied to notify..
This was definitely my top gripe for a long time. Penguin over at PhoneAlarm wrote the modifications to fire the green LED when a new mail comes in. Since then, some of the clever folks over here at XDA have written their own apps to make this work.
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636439&page=14 This makes your keypad buttons blink when a new email arrives. Pretty clever, and works great.
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647875 (haven't tried this myself)
I do not like that all the kepad will look like X-MAS tree so i won't install the workaround app.
I gave up this issue and last week switched to Motorola Milestone....
You should try this Android and you would understand how far behind is the Leo

LED notification time

Hello,
I was wondering how I can stretch the time a LED notification is visible (blinking time).
As it is now, the LED stops blinking after about 5 minutes. This is to short for me.
Any idea how to adjust this timing?

Thank You so much , I was searching for it too. Don't you people think that there is need for HTC to put so many missing options in their future devices or ROMs for this device?

Absolutely... HTC really need to look back at WM6.1 and give users the freedom they desire...
Awesome phone though HD2 is.. so many tweaks available but you need to look for them in these forums carefully and spend many hrs..

Hello!
In my case this tip doesnt work. This blink option time is grey out. Simply, not active and there is no way to change time of blinking... In my case, there is predefined 5 minutes and I can not change it! Any idea?

[Q] Sms sent lag, HELP

Hello all, I have a big issue with this tilt 2 and that is the sms sent and pressing "X" to go back in the inbox of sms messages, it lags for a good 10-20 and sometimes the whole screen would freeze up because of this.
So I recently bought a tilt 2 and the seller told me he flashed it to a new rom which whenever I turn the phone on, it says Energy Rom so does anyone have a solution to this sms sent lag other than deleting all text messages daily, please help!
Thank you all in advance for your time and suggestions!
Sending a TXT isn't instant... it takes a little bit to log in, transmit, and finish sending the TXT message.. that is most likely the 10-20 sec of "lag" you are experiancing... I use the Energy line of roms myself... and I feel they are the best over all roms out there... period.

And it has nothing to do with the crappy htc sms client? come on it isn't normal that you have to wait 10-20 seconds when you send a sms.

I'd have to agree. A SMS is about 1/7th of a kilobyte and a kilobyte is practically nothing. Sending a SMS doesn't cause a lag. I've been sending SMS since 1998 and WM wasn't even an option back then. It's all Microsoft and their crap OS.
I have to agree, it is the crappy htc sms client to blame, so I'm guessing noone have found a solution to this yet? Have you guys tried to hotfix from htc site?
I owned the tilt 1 and there was no lag at all in sms.
Ok, this is going to sound stupid but I'm not familiar with these types of ROM, such as Energy Rom. Is that the same as Manila 2.5? Or are they completely different?

What Exactly Do You Need Help With?
Maybe I Could Try To Help You.
I am attempting to change the interface on my tilt 2 to android or something else so the sms in threaded mode won't lag and plus im tired of the WinMo appearance. =)
Thank you for your time!
Hi I have the same problem as you and it drives me crazy. tell me if im correct: You are complaining about the fact that after you press x to close a threaded text conversation it lags getting back to the inbox. On mine everything changes back to the inbox except for the top of the screen and then it just sits there till it eventually goes bqck. Your not reffering to how long it takes for you friend to receive the text, correct? Ive tired installing the most current sms program from htc that was taking from another phone and although it looked much niicer and had some cool features it didnt work right and i had to switch back. Maybe somone reading this can suggest something. It sdriving me crazy. as far as changing from the windows look which either you mean what they call titanium which is that homescreen where you have everything in alist and you can scroll up and own through it or do you you mean what they call touch flo or sense where you move along the bottom of the screen through tabs? either way i would highly recomend spb mobile shell which will make your phone similar to android layout. It works great and is reqally easy to customize everything. or at least touch flo/sense with what they call cookies home tab which helps you customize your home screen. Let me know whcih one you have and which one you want and ill help you. I dont know how to program but i do know how to use the phone well, and customize it thanks to all the developers here who provide us with so much to do it with.
@ swaters3, yes that is exactly the probably with sms, it takes forever to go back to inbox screen and it freezes up. I'm not should what layout I have but its WinMo and the previously owner changed the rom the Energy Rom, if that matters. As for the Android layout, I heard I can do a dual boot where I can keep both WinMo and Android on the tilt 2. I was thinking, if I can boot to android that the sms will function right. As of now, I am still stuck with tilt 2 lagging sms threaded mode. Frustrating.
Do you hava a lot of sms or e-mail saved on the phone? That can cause it to bog down.
Yeah, but I originally owned the tilt 1 and had over 4,000 text message and encounter no problem sending out text messages.

i wish someone could help us with the lag, lately ive just learnt to be patient, though that is a little ridiculous. There is a sms program from htc (thecompany that makes the phone) that is much nicer and did not have the lag. I did have some other issues but maybe it will work for you. Search in xda for updated htc sms app and see if you can find it. as far as anroid goes I am trying to get mine to work properly and have still not got it to connect to sprint. Its a work in progress and not everything works so i dont think you would want to switch to it permanently. Give it a shot though its very cool and gets better every few days. As of know I think the camera is still not working but most everything else is. I would recomend spb mobile shell. watch some videos on youtube although you will be able to customize it yourself completely. Youll need to play with it to figure out how to customize it but its pretty easy just drag and drop type of stuff with anything on the phone. It looks and works like android but youll still be suing windows mobile. Its works great for me and i wouldnt be able to keep this phone if not for it. I hope that helps.
