Hallo!
Just moved from Treo 650 to 750v: all is great but I terribly miss a Butler-like application.
In particular I would like to get different led behaviour according to different events: led blinking red, solid red, green etc. for missed calls, sms, alarms etc.
Does it exist something similar for Treo 750v?
Thank you in advance.

I can confirm after a few day's testing that MS Direct Push with the i-Mate SP5i works very well, and delivers a Blackberry experience but without the (considerable) embuggerance and expense of BES, being tied into an operator (boo hiss) and their somewhat closed device environment... but then I noticed something about my new SmartPhone that seems a somewhat annoying oversight by HTC, or at least an oversight on my part...
There is no VISUAL notification on the SP5i to indicate a new email (such as the network service LED flashing Amber like on the PDA's...) This means that if you don't hear the audible alert first time round, or you need it totally silent in a meeting, or you step away from you phone, you're likely to miss a message. This causes a tendency to have to keep checking the device, which kind of defeats the purpose of Direct Push. Why didn't HTC just look at a Blackberry and put a BIG RED LED on the top edge of the device? Then you can see it both when it's in your top pocket or on your belt.
Does anyone know of an app or a registry tweak that could change the LED to red/flashing red upon receipt of a message, as they seem to have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory for the sake of a few pence worth of electronics component.

Try Automatic Keylock which can be found here.
http://maniac.fschreiner.de/content/view/8/19/
Amongst lots of features it has the ability to flash the green light faster when there is a message waiting. In addition it can flash the screen, play a sound at regular intervals. Works well but needs a bit of patience to install because you have to unlock the phone for applications before it will install.
Instructions on how to do this can be found here:

I wrote a small app (based on other people's hard work) that will flash the LED when a new notification is active.
I did this because all my previous WM5 PDA's had a visible "new message" notification and I found it useful !
1. Copy the SDKCerts.cab from the Visual Studio SDK onto your device
2. Run the .cab on the device to install the SDK root certs
3. Extract the msgled.zip and copy msgled.exe to the startup folder of your Treo
Done
It *should* check every 10 seconds for new messages and flash the LED if there are any.
Enjoy.
Thanks. . coming from a Treo 650, ive missed this very useful feature via an app called Butler, i do hope that it can also be set to 'steady green or red'
Battery Drain?
Does this affect the battery?

Thanks
Great app, works like a charm. Thanks!
Works like a charm indeed, but I am running into a small bug! I have my Treo set for powering off the screen after 1 minute, but if I have your tool active it won't. It will disable the display lights, but not actually turn the Treo off...
Thanks it works great.
Good Job !!!
ehh
works great..
only one thing.. i got a voicemail message so it left a notification and i got the blinking led (great).
But there seems no way to get rid of the voicemail notification now
So i tried to remove the msgled file form the startup folder.. doesnt let me.. hmmmm
Anyway to remove the msgled file? or stop it?
Greetzzz

Hi,
I guess you can help me in my Problem.
I had flashed my ROM for softbank x01ht witha widows6 rom(dont remember which version).
Since then the Device lights i.e. the bluetooth light and the service ligts are not working meaning they do not blink at all.
When I connect the Charger, a RED LED flash for a fraction of second and then goes off, though the charging is done with no problem.
Can you pls tell me how can I solve this problem, I have tried to search a solutuon with all the possible combination of key words.
Pls. help me if you know any possible solution.
THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE,
Mandrix
This is great, thanks!
is there any way to turn the led orange instead of green when receiving new messages?
great app though. thx.
Treo 750 - Missed call / message notification orange LED
Zwuncki
I too am looking for an option to do this but it seems that the only option so far has been to turn the LED green for notifications (I am using Mortscript and nled). An improvement over the existing but orange would be nice.
For the Treo 650, this was nicely done by an application called "MissedCall" but from reading posts in other forums it seems that no one has figured out a way to turn on the orange LED in Treo 750 (it does this when out of range of signal in its built in default state).
Works great!!!!
cdelauz02 - what works great? I assume you are talking about Mortscript/Nled? or have you gotten the notification to turn the orange LED on somehow?

Do you think this will drain the battery? Since it checks every 10 seconds for new messages.
Great feature though! Very nicely done!
I've had this script installed for a couple of months now and can't say that I've noticed any impact on my battery life. I still get 2-3 days between charges.

Thanks for your answer. Nice to see some activity on the 750 forum.
At the moment I'm trying SPB Phone Suite. It looks like it also notifies the user by flashing the LED when you've missed a call. One "bug" is when you dismiss a missed call the indicator still shows the number of missed calls.
I might be mistaken, but if I understand what I've read over at the Phonealarm forums the 750 handels notifiers different than other pocket pc's and what you've noticed is one of the results. I believe that the counts should reset if you actually view the missed call log.
Otherwise, how do you like the SPB phone suite? I've been eyeing it, but being a regular reader of the phonealarm forums I know the amount of work that goes into such a program and am a bit weary of a first release. What's your impression?
I must say that I like the idea. It sure is a very good first release! Skinning is not my main target. Stability is
Just installed a Beta of PhoneAlarm. It worked for a few hours, now the screen looks messed up (stripes). Like the images aren't rendered correctly.
Read that the memory footprint of PhoneAlarm is smaller than SPB Phone Suite.
But we're a little of topic now Will post more info when I have it!

I was referring to the led notifications, I dont mind having the led green, but if orange was available it will be nice as well.
Hello friends, does anybody know, how to change the configuration of the notification LED's on the Omnia? Flashing LED after missed call/SMS/email is switched off when device gets into standby.
Thank

did you find how to solve that problems I tryed a programs for HTC but doesnt work
watchflag
Hi,
there is an app named Watchflag (could be found on google). This app allows you to use LED for allerting new sms or e-mail - of course for apart from other things like sound, vibrating etc. But the problem is that if Omnia is on stand-by mode and the Watchflag doesnt alert any sms or e-mail and LED doesnt flash - it is completely dead. But that is my experience - you may be lucky
Guys,
I installed the Nueled LED driver (which used to work quite well with mogul) and looks like it has screwed up my LED notification. I even uninstalled it, did a hard reset and sprite restore but my feeling is that the LED is not behaving like it used to. I think there was a constant signal LED but I dont see it any more. The only LED notification which is working is the email one.
Even the WIFi and bluetooth are not giving any notification. any suggestion?
Also:
Can someone please tell me the default LED behaviour (with color) for Sprint 6.5 ROM for the following:
1. Signal available
2. Wifi
3. Bluetooth
4. Messages (Email/SMS/MMS)
5. Reminders
6. Battery Low
7. Charging
8. Battery full charged
Thanks!
if you hard reset there is no way the led is still messed up.
Actually you are right. Some ppc geeks guys confirmed thats how the LEDs have been configured in TP2 Sprint.

My LED only flashes on next text, email, i think missed calls. Other than that, and charging/charged, nother color or light comes up. Only orange and green. Thats how I got it so I guess thats how it supposed to be? LIke when I hook up to bluetooth, it doesnt turn blue or anything. I didnt think it was supposed to?

Yaa, after looking around here and there, I found out thats the case.
Hi,
I just got a HTC Titan and new to Windows Mobile 7.5, coming from an Android. One thing I think that is missing is a Message indicator when the screen goes black. Does anyone know of a good Message (email, txt, missed call, etc) that does a good job for displaying this the screen is “off”?
How would an application display anything if the screen is off?
I'm assuming he means via the led..
No for some reason Microsoft decided not to support this. I miss it as well.
Couple different ways. Android has an App I enjoyed and wanted to know if WM had anything like this.

Nice app, but WP is very stupid with many unnecessary restrictions...
well, I don't know why, but my HTC 7 Mozart at least flashes the LED when I missed a phonecall. Not sure if it does that with messages as well, it doesn't do it with emails (nor do I want it to do it with emails).
I really miss the LED notifications, too.
