To turn off all of the flashing LEDs (Blue LED from coming on with Bluetooth, Green for phone signal, Yellow for charging, etc), go to:
1. Hkey_Local_Machine/Drivers/Builtin/AllLEDMgr
1a. Change the Index value below it to "0" (by default it is set to "1")
Soft Reset and the LEDs will not turn on.
There is also an "LEDMgr" key at the same level, but it does not seem to have any effect.
This is a variant for the Magician of the original Blue angel thread:

Enjoy! (Finally, I can sleep with the jam on the end-table next to me at night ;-) )
I'm waiting for the hack/program that makes my LED pulsate instead of blink, like some laptops when in suspend mode.
Trick included in version 3.6.0 of Tweaks2k2 released today!
More info at www.tweaks2k2.com/downloads.htm
That's how I like it... grabbing the infos for free and integrating it into a commercial product.
The same has been with NetFilter code already in hardware appliances - they've been charged for it!
You should at least offer the original poster a license free of charge for gaining from his efforts.
Actually he did
Chatty,
I contacted Ctitanic to let him know about this key. He offered me a free license days ago, and I have been testing the new version for him. I wanted those who were uncomfortable hacking the registry to have access to this.
Sorry we didn't let you know first. Open mouth, remove foot ;-)

Did I say anything? I always said, ctitanic is such a nice and humble person. I deeply honor his work.

jajajaja
it´s a no written policy of me to give free copies to those sending me hacks that are included in Tweaks2k2. If I find a little time I will write it down at my site so every body knows about it. But for now let me write it here
I GIVE FREE COPIES OF MY PROGRAM TO THOSE WHO SEND ME REGISTRY HACKS IF THOSE HACKS ARE APPROVED TO BE INCLUDED IN FUTURE VERSION OF THE PROGRAM.
:twisted:
Bummer :-(
I just verified that this registry hack also disables the vibrate function on my phone also :-(
Due to this, I'm backing off the hack (vibrate is more important to me). Doen't ask me why AllLEDMgr is controllling the vibrate function, but it is. I played with this area of the registry for a while, and couln't find a way to disable the LEDs, and have vibrate working. If anyone else does, let me know. Otherwise, I guess it's time for black electrical tape over the LED for me.
I'll let ctitanic know.

Well, I´ll add this to the list of known issues. I think that for some people the hack is good even when it disables the vibration. In another hand, you can apply the hack during the night and activate the LEDs back in the morning
Is it possible to turn of LEDs/vibrate without a soft reset?
Technically yes... you have to end the service via a system call. One would have to implement this in a tiny program. Could be useful in apps like PZP - so go and tell zendrui
I'm using the Wizard with WM5 (Norwegian ROM), and I can't seem to find the AllLEDMgr key in the registry. Is this tweak for WM5?
@pborthwick: It is for the Magician... you posted in the Magician forum! The Magician is WM2003 btw.
Hi there y'all,
my xda neo / Prophet is always blinking green while he has got an telephone-connection with my provider and i hate that blinkin light, especially in my bedroom.
Has anyone got an idea how to disable this? Is there any possibility via Registry?
Thanks for any help!
a piece of black tape perhaps?
Try
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\AllLEDMgr\Index
change the value to 0
__________________
I used LED Toggle which I attached. It works fine.
You do have to watch out though: disconnect your phone from power or your computer before you activate it. Using it once stops the light and using it again turns it back on.
It looks like the effect is gone after a softreset.
And another thing: some hours after using it my phone didn't respond at all for a few minutes. The only solution was a soft reset. This has happened several times now and when I keep the light on it seems to be working normal again. I don't know if it's just my Prophet but if you encounter the same problem we know where it's coming from.

Thanks Jay, your little program works perfect. I'll see if i'll get the same problem and report it here
niketkumar, thanks for your help. I first try Jays Software, if i get the same problems i'll use your registry hack.
Thanks to both of you from my girlfriend, too - cause now it's less greener in our bedroom
So? Any news?
I stopped using the software and my phone hasn't crashed once. How's yours behaving?
Had the exact same problem, when using LED Toggle my device occasionally hangs. Since I stopped using it everything works just fine..
Man, that just sucks. I was so happy to be rid of that stupid light.
Now about that registry hack. I can find everything up to "\builtin" but the rest (AllLEDMgr\Index) doesn't exist. Do I have to create a new folder with an index file which has the value set to 0 or what?
Don't remember if I've tried the registry hack mentioned above, but I followed the thread about this issue in Modaco and tried numerous registry hacks before ending up with the only solution (that I'm aware of) that currently seems to work.
Which, unfortunately is the LED Toggle attached above, which in hand makes your device quite unstable..
So, back to the drawing board guys - hope someone finds a solution!
Just checked the corresponding thread on Modaco (http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=243948&st=0) and indeed this solution is not working flawlessly on our beloved Prophets..
Why not just place it face down on your dresser at night?
this has to be one of the dumbest hack request on the site!!! do as blunt man said and put it face down if it's that annoying!

Jayxz, any of the workarounds i found generated problems so i just painted the light black. Not really the best solution but it sucked so badly
I find the green light annoying too, but i'd still like to have the orange warning when i received a msg or missed a call....
I hope that somebody could find a working solution for this
You can try the attached File i found at the MoDaCo Forum.
It works on my Prophet but some Users told that it drains the Battery

enabling led blinking
Hi to All,
my HTC TYTN II always blinking green while he has got on phone-connection with my provider, and i love that. But now i have xperia and...no blinking on phone connection. It is possible to made it blinking when phone connection with provider is on
So this is my first post in this forum so I 'll start with some naggin .
I am a proud owner of the lg ks20 which I absolutelly love.But its buggs are killing me.
First of all there is the free memory issue.I find it quite strange that a WM6 device with 128MB ram has only about 30MB free memory left.I mean cmon Vodafone and LG,we are talking about a huge 45 MB memory hole here.Any ideas on how to get rid of that?
Second serious issue with the is the lack of proper directdraw drivers.I hate the fact that I can not run any applications (with the exception of S2U2 whick works quite well) that use directdraw.Thats a great limitation to what one can do with this phone.
The hardware is all good,big enough ram,rom etc,top class CPU but the software sucks.
I know this is mainly an HTC forum,but I also know this is the right place to talk about WM phones when hacking and software development is concerned .
So is there any possibility to get things moving and resolve some of the phones bugs?
I have a KS20 too and would like to see some of that solved, too. But I guess we have to wait for the KS20 to be more common before there will be enough attention to get someone with enough knowledge to do something about it. I hope the English version of KS20 will come out soon and that it will get more people interested in this issue.

Did you install some strange software? OTherwise you should send your phone back to LG.
Battery always 100% and refuses to charge
Hi All,
I am new to the LG KS20.
It was working fine for 2 weeks, and now suddenly i find the battery status always showing 100%, and it just dies after a day of usage. Even worse, is that since it shows 100% always, it does not charge. When i try connecting the charger, it says battery is full, and the green LED light glows.
Can someone please help me out in resolving this issue.
Thanks you,
Jefferey Rayan
I have exactly the same problem - the 100% issue happend from one day to the other after about two weeks of use. The phone can then only be turned on by connecting it to the charger ( ac-adapter).
Some people in other forums claim it to a damaged battery, some to the 10a-ROM-version. It does not seem to be charged according to the message on the display and the greed led, but I am now about to check out if it really doesn't charge the phone. It turned it self off after about 1 minute of use yesterday, I connected it to the charger over night - today it functions properly so far...
So maybe it's "just" a matter of a wrong display message - in this case one would have to connect it to the charger every 2 - 3 days (guess the battery status) - not a very satisfactory solution, but maybe a solution until a new ROM arrives for non-branding devices.
Battery is dead - if it always shows 100%
I also have the 100% full loaded Problem!
It enoys me
LG has big Problems with their Batteries!
When you have that problem discribed above - your battery is the faulty crap.
Hardreset doesn`t help
So send your phone to LG to get a new battery,...
I am from Austria - LG Austria is not willed to help me - because LG Austria isn`t selling the KS20
The say like **** off - it`s not our problem
So I don`t know how I get a new battery.
My German Reseller told me that LG also has problems with delivering new batteries.
So a pice of crap - with Nokia they would never tell you - you don`t get support because you bought the mobile in Germany and not in Austria,...
Can anybody help me?
Shouldn`t LG Austria have to help me with my warranty?
GreeT`s Erich
I am also from Austria, bought the branding-free version at redcoon.at - they offer 2-year warranty, so I sent it back at the end of May. They probably sent it to LG Germany and it's still sitting there. I hope that according to my descriptions they will exchange the battery, otherwise I will be really pissed off. The repair takes 4 - 6 weeks they say. So I've bought a 400 EUR phone and have to stick with my old K750i for weeks, maybe for months.
I would not recommend anyone to buy this phone. It's on the market for 8 months now, no support, no drivers, no official updates. pure sh*t.
Anyone who wants a stylish mobile should go for the new HTC Diamond.
It's really worth the extra 100 EUR.
For those who have no warranty, I would recommend to plug it to the charger every 2 - 3 days until there are batteries available to buy directly from LG. Since everybody who got it's battery exchanged seems to be happy now, this should be the solution. IT DOES RECHARGE although it shows 100% full and the green led is on. I plugged it to the charger overnight and then it worked for about 3 days of extensive use without any shutdowns. So it's just the indicator that does not work.
Good luck!
The repair takes 4 - 6 weeks they say

Thats why I will not send my phone to LG!
I will try to get a new Battery.
LG- Service sucks damn hard,...
Greet`s Erich
i've got a MS25 Genius (american KS20 just without 3g, wifi, and VGA cam) from VIVO here in Brazil, and my battery stay always on 99%..
My clock is bugged too, always turns to the "Praga" clock when i sincronize with ativesync..
I'll not send my phone to LG Brasil! if they suyck in Europe they will suck a pretty much more in my ****ed up contry.. i don't want to stay 2 months without my phone..
Anyone's got a solution?
thank's!
I bought a new Battery - but not original LG.
Maybe a failure - because when I charge it - my phone turns off,...
The only advantage is it was half the price
I don`t knoe if LG has fixed the new batteries - because buying an original with the fuxing problem is sick
greet`s
back to initial thread, I also have a KS20 and got some 34/37MB after soft reset with default LG app disabled...
it doesn't appear to be that much and normal...
like nstamoul said: "we have to think about this issue!"
KS20 massive destruction
Im using the KS20, And sure, Sometimes you stumble upon some buggs, But its not that bad. Best wm phone I've ever had atleast
My X1 didnt work as it should after around 6 months.
-the display got black when I slided the keyboard out,
-headphones jack did sometimes shov the headphones simbol on the top bar of the screen even when the headphones wasnt in the jack,
-in the center of display i had a grey spot. It was very visible if i turned on the camera and covered the elns with my finger. It might be from stylus or somethin. it made look X1 lcd look cheap and of bad quality,
-the on the keyboard if i pressed M or N key once it wrote MMM or NNN (multiple characters for only one press)
-and the last thing is that when i was having a conversation sometimes didnt hear anything. i had to slide open the phone and the close it and sometimes it healped but if it didnt I had to use the speaker. and it looks bad when you are using 500€ phone to have to use the speaker for all conversations.
then on 1.12.2009 I personaly got my X1 in the shop for repairs. I called afther 3 weeks... the phone was still not repired, so i call them in the beginning of January. the phone was not finished. I was starting to count down the days.
Dont know abouth other countries but in Slovenia (its next ot Italy) the law says that if a device is in repairs for more then 45 days (and that caunts in hollydays and weekends to ) you are entitled to equal NEW device. and then until february 2010 they were telling me that they are getting me a new X1. but last week they tell me that NEW X1s are hard or almost impossible to get. so the SE is getting me new XPERIA X2 instead. thats all I know for now. I still think that X1 was a better phone (it had personality that X2 has not) at the beginning of next week ill know more. today the man from the shop said that its possible to have it on tuesday or wednesday next week.
if nothing else i got from phone that was farly old and didnt work properly (dont know if id get 200€ for it) to a totaly new X2 (it came outh this january,it must be worth around 500€). Ill let you know if/when i get it and let you know how it handles.
is it possible for X2 to ROM it with some costom ROMS for X1?it has the same buttons, same resolution, same hardware... it would be nice to have cristians ROM or touchIT ROM on X2.
Sorry about bad spelling.

No. There are no custom ROMs for the X2 yet. Have fun with that new phone. Im sure you will like it's. I don't know what my next device will be...
Well i got my new X2 last week on friday. first of all i have to say that im somewhat of a clean phone freak softwarevise adn in that regard X2 is awfull. it just has too much stuff on it. how can there be after hard reset (did it ubouth 3-4 times just over the weekend) only 80MB free. there is 260 MB available but only 80 is free.when I deleted all the panels that i dont need there was 140MB free but then manel manager stopped working.
then i hardreset it. on X1 hardreset and costumization lasted around 10 minutes. for a hard reset on X2 you need half an hour before telephone is ready to use.
then i wander in panel manager whay some panels are able to be deleted in panel manager but moste are not. yes you can delete them in settings but in many cases it says the panel was not deleted completle, you want delet it from the list?
i wanted to have clasic SE panels (1 and 2) i instaled SEpanel 1 from this forum, and panel manager stopped working again. HARDRESET
When I turned on X1 there was abouth 30% of ram used and 60-70% was free.
on X2 most od the time its 50/50 but usualy if you open application or 2 there is less then 50% free. and that affects on performance.
best thing would be to have X1 software on the X2 device. Or atleast X1 panel manager on it.
At first i dint like its START menu. scrolling up and down when the scrolling in not fluid its no eyecandy. and its not totaly usefull. then i started to like it when i figured out i can edit this start honeycomb menu. i added map called WEB another map called PROGRAMS i put al the stuff in these maps only the SE Xperia 2 green icons and settings are on the front level... and start menu was instantly more user friendly (by the way in file manager there is map WINDOWS/STARTMENU/PROGRAMS there you can edit START menu).
But still I have faith in this device. if the experiance was little more fluid or the CPU was better this would be a great device. it has a nice camera (video recording is not so good but that i got used to with X1 and SE never had great vodeorecorder cameras anyway) and there are 2 firmware updates planned one for march (WM 6.5.2) and one in may (6.5.3, cant wait to have START, X and OK buttons on the lower side of the screen).
Final words
I was mad abouth X1 from the momet i looked at it on gsmarena (february 2008) and then almost half a year when it came out i has HAPPY to have it.
now I have X2 only a month after it came out and its just OK to have it. its not good its not bad its just ok.
we will see.
my x2 is in cmonex's hands for creating hard-spl, but the x2 is a hard nut to crack, so we have no ETA on hard-spl for x2 unfortunatly.
But when its ready, im sure the cookin will start
Hi everyone,
I noticed that the coloured notification / status LED is active only as long as the device is "awake". It turns off as soon as the X2 goes into standby.
That kinda defeats the purpose of a notifivation LED, doesn't it?
Or am I missing something in the settings?
Many thanks,
N.
Well, for anyone interested, this doesn't look good:
http://talk.sonyericsson.com/thread/1567?tstart=60
Feel free to comment.
wow, if the notification LED isnt even working properly then i've completely lost my interest in the Xperia X2... thats just a basic function that must be working on every phone. Including "high end" ones like the X2 once was when it was released.
Just to follow this up:
I've been in touch with SE support, and they're saying the X2 notification lights "should" be working even when the device is in standby. And they said I could send mine in for checkup. I'm considering that.
N.
Keep us informed on SE's reply...afaik it works in WM6.5.1 but not on WM6.5.3
Not much news here.
Sent my device in to Customer Service, who called to say that fixing the LED issue should not be a problem. Got it back yesterday, but nothing's changed, the problem is still there. Boooo, poor customer service!
So I'll send it in again. I've been given the name of the head of customer service so that they can take care of things.
Frankly the X2 is annoying me. Gorgeous piece of powerhouse hardware paired with completely f***ed-up software. It was just the other way round with the X1, but at least that device worked.
