Anyone know where in the registry can I turn off the blinking bluetooth indicator. Not really a big deal until I'm driving in my car at night - it's like a cop is behind me!!! And bright too!!

Just to summarize: you can disable it, but only by disabling all the LED notifications - including WiFi, Radio and Power.
ZeBoxx: there is another less invasive way, but I've had no time to finish the app. But allledmgr will do the job for most purposes...

you're working on way too much at the same time, vijay It leaves you with many unfinished projects, and a lot of posts going "maybe vijay will write it for me" :>
Not that I'm one to talk.. *eyes that darn colorpicker*
Damn, forgot about the color picker. VJCandela's "GUI" wore me out. Working on something very very non GUI right now
V
haha, good! I really can't find time to work on that da*n thing :\
hmmm.... my cingular 8125 has no such key under Builtin. So, I added the key "AllLEDMgr" and made a DWORD value named "Index" inside it which I set to 0. Soft resetting had no affect on the LEDs.
Interestingly, I can't delete the key "AllLEDMgr" now as it's marked in use.
Sleuth255: dump your registry (and also your rom if you're feeling generous) and send it over to sleuth @ vijay555.com and I'll have a look..

I'm using the Wizard with norwegian ROM, and I don't have this registry key either. Does anyone know why, and how I can tweak the LEDs?
De-solder the LED or if you're not that adventurous, put a little bit of electrical/insulation tape over the LED
This should work, but it's not exactly the solution I was looking for....

that'll block the green wifi one, too, though! What you really need is a bit of green gaffer tape; that should block practically all of the blue but leave the green coming through
Ok, I tried the green gaffer tape, but it didn't look too good. I'm going to try the soldering solution now, and probably solder inn an extra CPU while I'm in there, just to boost things up. Thanks for the good tips!
you're welcome!
and remember - use leaded solder. Sure, it's not as good for the environment, but it'll last longer!
It would actually be nice if there were a way to disable the flashing radio LED, but I have motive other than being annoyed by it.
I would like to be notified of new voicemail, appointments, & text messages via LED, however, since I am color blind (technically...I have a "color defect") I can not differentiate between the orange and green flashing LED (although I can see the blue one).
Therefore it would be better to have it off UNLESS there is an alert.
Is it possible that somebody can write something to change this or is it hopeless?
So, I'm not sure how many people are familiar with a hacked Motorola phone feature called "fun lights" (or club lights), in which the phone picks up music being played and flashes its lights to the beat, as seen here with a Motorola KRZR http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LS32vxWQC1U . Can this be done with our phones? I know the Tilt has a good number of lights to use. The indicator lights on the headset speaker and the soft key lights would be prime blinking lights. This feature would also be cool to do when someone calls you, and you're in the dark, your phone's buttons will start blinking and flashing.
So, developers and people who are smarter than I am, can this be done?
hehe loved that feature on moto phones. ahh... the good old motorola modding days when i moded my motorola v635 and the razr v3s someone should be able to do it.
Yeah, they're really cool. I'm not sure how useful it is, but it's certainly quite a novelty feature.
BUMP =D
i like lights...
Haha, everyone likes lights!
This may be similar to what you are talking about? Scroll to the bottom then scroll up 5 topics. Wouldn't be to the beat though.
Well, the notification LED is different than the softkey backlights. This will be cool to do when you receive a call as well as to music.
looks like i'm not the only one who remembers good ole' seem editing!
Either way, has anyone come up with a program that does something similar?
BUMP! This would be hella cool! The SE and Moto phones so why not the WM phones
I'm hoping once this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406820 gets more developed, we'll be able to assign entertaining videos. It could make things more interesting.
Hi,
Is their a way that the call answer|home|Back|Call End keys can be highlighted in the dark with say a white light?
That would be so cool when using the phone in the dark!
I guess it really depends if there's some kind of light behind the buttons?

This is one of the couple of things that really does my nut in about the HD.
i wish it did. it would have been a SEXY touch to the HD

Yes it is so stupid that I think a ten year old child designed it. They are impossible to see in the dark and often I press the wrong one and are almost throwing the phone in the floor in anger
I suspose a skillful "Mod-er" could silkscreen some glow-in-the-dark paint on an adhesive layer (perhaps as simple as scotch tape) and adfix it to the front. Who knows might even be a market for this. I'd pay $4.95 US for it.

"But not $5.00. $5.00 is too much"
A lot better without any additional lights, imho.
I like reading ebooks in the dark with the phone, and experices with other phones have shown that leds etc are annoying.
solution number one would be a sw controlled led system that could let you decide on/off, intensity, color, animation motive, strobosystem connected to audio output, blinking and blinking speed, for each key independently...
maybe i just exaggerated but what the hell since it's all impossible as the leds aint there i don't see why i shouldnt

You could probably use available GPIO lines (if any are not used) to control the leds, but modding mobile devices without some kind of blueprints is next to impossible It's unlikely there's enough space inside the HD to house the leds and wiring required for such mod.
just hold your hand below your HD so the light of the screen reflects onto the buttons, simple enough imho
The buttons are overrated. I hardly ever use them. The only one I use is the very left buttin for Voice Command.
And I am able to find the button in complete darkness!!!!
I wish they would be gone in favor of a bigger screen.
HTC wanted to illuminate the hard buttons, but couldn't. The strategy behind the touch hd was to create the first device ever that will totally disallow its user to obtain any useful information whether a call has been missed while he was away from the phone. Moreover, part of the strategy was to *make sure* no matter how much the community will try to correct this situation, that they will stand no chance.
For this, HTC went with a tiny, faint, green led missed-call indicator at the side of the on/off button, and to make sure nobody will be able to program a solution, they had to let go the illuminated hard buttons (since otherwise the community could have programed it to behave like the Diamond, and so it would have been possible to know if you missed a call). It was a compromise for HTC, but the manager of the touch hd product recently was quoted saying that they feel satisfied with this compromise, because they feel that sacrificing hard button illumination was well worth it if the prize is to create the very first device that can be 100% inefficient at showing the missed calls you had while being away from the phone (and no less important: is 100% bulletproof against any attempt of the community to disable this cutting-edge feature).

Actually it's 99.99999999999999999999999% inefficient, but in this situation (where you'll have to miss several billion calls in order to notice one) I thought it was safe to round it up to 100%.
Surely the simple way forward here would be through the use of quantum technology.
We know that there are no lights behind the buttons, but that doesn't prevent the butons being illuminated, because in another parallel universe some HTC designer might have accidently designed a useful and practical version of the HD (of course, this is where my idea falls down, as it's impossible for any HTC designer to be so forward-thinking).
Anyway, as I'm sure we all know, you don't actually need an object to exist to have an effect in quantum physics - it only needs to exist in theory to effect the time/space continuum.
So if we could co-ordinate a mass simultaneous experiment, where we all throw our HDs up into the air, and let them all hit the ground at EXACTLY the same time, we should find that we will have easily removed the problem of non-illuminating buttons for all those partaking of this exercise.
A small side effect of this is that we will also remove the issue of poor video playback, poor call handling, crap Today screen ..........
"Anyway, as I'm sure we all know, you don't actually need an object to exist to have an effect in quantum physics - it only needs to exist in theory to effect the time/space continuum."
Boy this is scary, if your theory is right, we could all be subjects of an quantum physics experiment. What if the HD in fact doesn't exist att all!? have you concidered that? If your theory is right, it could just be a flicker in the time/space continuum. :O what the hell, as long as it's persistant I don't care.
To the more real issues. Honestly, do you guys really don't know where the answer, home, back and hangup-buttons are located?? I had not even thought of the fact that they aren't backlit. Most time I don't use them at all, but I'm pretty sure most user here in fact can point them out in pitch dark if they had to. But I must admit the lack of light underneath them is a little bit odd from a design point of view though.
For the missed call isue, isn't there a way to make the screen backlight flash with very short quite frequent flashes to indicate missed calls? For those who check the phone for missed calls every other minute this could be a good med against hart attack (or atleast blue fingertip from pressing the power-button a million times).

I really like those side effects, only problem is that we'll also lose warranty, so if in the distant future something bad will happen to our beloved touch hd, we will not have coverage...

Impossible !!!, you make it sound as easy as typing on a computer keyboard without looking at the keys... why do you lie to us my dear friend when we all know remembering the location of the 4 keys in the touch hd is orders of magnitude harder ?

Well... you have a point... but in the other hand your statement is pretty contradictory in itself. My computer (a macbook, I'll probably get my ass kicked for saying that) has no backlit keyboard and has something like 80 keys so it sounds pretty weard that it would be easer to learn the location of all of them. or have you written a program that alters the location of the 4 HD-keys so you honestly can say that it's impossible to learn?
need a program i can load onto as many phones as possible, so maybe java would be best, and from another device, either laptop or another phone, make the client (original phones) ringer activate/vibrate, and display a picture on the screen.
looking for somethign that maintains a connection so the ringer activation is instant.
I do props for tv and film and always need to make cell phones ring on camera, usually in stages that have non-existent cell phone service. or of i am lucky enough to shoot somewhere with service it takes so long for the call to connect it is useless. Oftentimes the phone has to ring exactly on cue. 2 seconds late doesn't work for an actors cue.
I need something i can have running on a phone and hit a button on a laptop or another phone that is connected preferably with bluetooth, and make the phone in the actors hand or pocket ring and display the callerid screen i create, like a jpeg.
i've checked out lots of remote display programs, soti etc. they don't do this and are way more than i need.
If anyone here has seen something like this please point me in the right direction.
I apologize if this is the wrong forum. it seemed the most appropriate tho.
thanx,

To prove the point, get a camera, and HD2,You will see it glow white !
use a camera and point it at the sensor you will find the white light blinking while in android, where as in WINMO it doesnt, it blinks during calls only!!!
How does this matter at all? (unless it's some kind of vital bug in liblights)

I think the concern was that the IR light used for sensing if you are holding the phone up to your head during a call is on all the time instead of just during calls. In theory that would use a little extra battery, apart from that it wouldn't do anything.
Not a major concern, but if someone was looking at the lights code they could take a look.

Ah, I see. Thanks for clearing that up.
Mine don't glow..
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
It (infrared) glows but only while screen is on. Not in standby. But that could do SOME unnecessary draining if not in a call.
Dev know that?
