You are the chosen ONE!
but for real, I haven't understood anything.

One of my leds isn't very bright either. I think I will just disable them.

let me explain!
the violet leds present between the hardware keys, or i mean the leds left and right to the home button,
yesterday when i was playing restaurant story(game) i saw one of these leds fading slowly and then now its not glowing, though i can see then with my eyes closely to the phone

Maybe you don't need them. or the lights just doesn't work and needs to be fixed buy a repairman

where is the LED notification ?

hi everyone,
I was wondering where is the LED notification that shows the alerts ?
its just like old ones or it has some innovation-things like diamond/pro ?
it would be nice if they could do some dance light through those 4 keys under the screen ...
Thats my question, but nobody could answer me.. There should be a light in the powerbutton, but I've never seen a proof of that and on the pics it doesn't seem to me as a "light-button"... I'm still sad about this greez, cad^^

it's not at the power button, it's at the front near the top (ie. where the ear piece is). it's under the screen/plastic, amber, green, blue and red. hope that helps.
UPDATE: i made a mistake see posts below.
Oh really? That would be really great!! I don't need a discolight like on the x1 (although I find it cool), but only a practical light that informs me without looking on the screen. If this would be true, also on the front of the phone, then its absolutely perfect!! I'm happy now, thank you greez, cad^^

oops, my bad. sorry i was talking about the russian version (the one with WiMax Touch 8900 or something?). as for blackstone, it is above the power button AND at the corners (above as in if you lay the phone on it's back on the table). the color is still the same, ie. blue for BT, green for signal and wifi, , etc etc
sorry about the mix up again
oh and you probably want proof or something, here it is,

tnx man,
but it was unclear , it was like its a reflex or something ?

well not really, although htc are quite stupid sometimes, on the top is ideal when you consider it's multimedia/video watching device. you dont want a flashing led annoying every 3 seconds by flashing in your eyeline!
Excactly!
And no flashing LED's when driving in the dark with the PDA in your carholder...
The flashing LED´s havent bother me anyway. I dont think that the HD would be a cinematic-Machine or something else. Its not only the Position of the LED´s its also the weakness of the LED´s that makes me angry. Until now with a quick look i knew if there is any notification.
but it's never a 'qwik' look though, 9/10 times you always miss it 1st time and have to wait lol!

If it makes you feel any better, the Samsung Omnia has exact same position of the notification led (on the top power button) and maybe even less distinguishable. So I'm guessing there's must be some reason that they put it there. Don't rush to blame HTC

Isn't the LED you are talking about, which is at the top. just at the WIMAX version? If i remember correctly, the HD has got the LED beside the speaker

does anyone know if the arc has an indicator light (when receiving txt or emails) like the xperia x10?
Yes it does if I remember correctly, it is located on the top left above the screen.

One on the top left as you said...and the other on the right hand side of the phone above the micro usb slot.

Yeah, I noticed a second purple one above the micro USB that was flickering then the phone reset, with the same image Chrome gives

[Q] How to turn off the LED light of the function keys?

While reading in night, the LED light of the 4 function keys(at the bottom of Vibrant) is really dazzling.
Anyone knows how to turn it off just by software mod?
Thanks in adv.
Black electrical tape over it
Wear sunglasses to bed?
Seriously though, when I'm reading ebooks with Aldiko, the backlight only comes on during page flips....for all of about a quarter of a second....if that.
I don't know of any software mod to change the timeout period. The Epic4G has a setting for this I believe. Best of luck...
Thanks anyway.
Still waiting......

Use a black sharpie marker. Problem solved
I don't think there is a way to do that as of yet. Maybe you should ask one of thê devs or post this concern in the development section. Ignore the a-holes.

Flashlight?

Is there an app I can download that will let me use the camera's flash as a flashlight? I tried one that did not work so I figured I would ask around.

I wouldn't say this was worthy of starting a new thread, but here you go.
TeslaLED works just fine.
Droidlight by Motorola works fine.
Tiny Flashlight worked for me.

Anyone else have the second light (the yellow one) flicker with the flashlight app, or do I need to get a warranty phone?

I just took a look at mine, no flickering and I think Im blind now. Damn things are bright.
Ow. My face.
Don't look at them when activating. Please.

Can't find replacement led flash.

I am amazed at how little turned up when searching for a replacement led (camera flash) for this phone. Heh, minus less concise searches like HTC g2 flash.
So anyways, it's dead. I'd like to replace it, any idea where I can get the part? Seems like finding the part will be harder than replacing it. Yikes.
Btw.. my flash had been occasionally turning a light bluish-purple color, akin to turning up the color temp prior to this. It then went out like a light bulb.. turn on for a split second... (then obviously off) only to never turn on again. Just a heads up for anyone noticing the same behavior.. your time with led flash is almost up..
Why do I get the feeling that this is a post that I'll see go down seven pages while **** like 'can I has huneycrumb?' flys past?
My flash went out a few months ago and I haven't gotten around to ordering a warranty replacement yet. What I find very strange though is that I can turn it on through the camcorder. No other app is able to turn it on, and even then it only lasts for less than 2 minutes.
The camera app may be sending a lower 'power output' (don't know to phrase it) than torch app (even torch on normal mode) you can verify this by comparing modes commanded in your kernel log (dmesg)..
In terminal emu type dmesg | grep flashlight
8 is high power
4 is normal power
0 is off
And aw hell. Why not just launch camera app myself..
Yep.. flashlight mode 1...
I'm betting that vision, glacier, and ace all use the same led flash board.
Nexus one is a no go. I believe we're looking for a L shaped PCB with one flash. Correct me if I am wrong.
I can take a picture of the actual flash if anyone needs to see it. I have a fully disassembled G2 close by...

Yes please! The higher res, the better. Manufacturer markings or part numbers would be a dream - but that's probably not on there. So connector type and other 'identifiers' will be the best bet. Thanks very much.
Where would you start to look for such a part? Just wondering.

If you have warranty... Get it replace.

Ive always wanted a multicoulered flash that you could change the colour of Strobe effect with it changing colours would be awesome
Have you tried contacting HTC, they might either fix it under warranty, or maybe they could get you in contact with their supplier

I have insurance. I do not want to swap this phone for some refurbished junk... that and revert all the mods like gfree.
Of course. I could switch the led with the functional led from the replacement.
These are that rare, huh? Leds, that is - jk... kinda.

I don't know if you still use your G2. My flash died a few days ago and I stumbled across replacement modules on ebay:
