LED changes while overclocking - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development

Maybe there is absolutely nothing I can do for this, but I'd at least appreciate an explanation.
Why is it that when I overclock my phone the LED changes from a slow-blinking green to a fast blinking orange? I'm not sure if it's always like that, or only most of the time, but it's a major distraction while reading e-books or web pages. I'm running Battery Status with cpuscaler at a max of 260.
Is there anything I can do short of disabling it? Also, what the heck does a fast-blinking orange light indicate?
EDIT: Label this a freak occurance or an ID 10 T error. Either way, it's gone. Apologies!

Fast blinking orange is what I see when there was a problem accessing the miniSD card. (e.g. when I transfered huge files to my miniSD, the transfer failed and the led was as you described).

Turn off Click Wheel Light

Dear fellow Raphael-owners,
After browsing and searching the forum I still haven't found a thread or registry edit to turn off that ''rotating'' white light which is often showing up under the click wheel.
Is it possible to turn it off?? And ofcourse how...
Thanks!
you mean the notifaction that you have a message or missed call etc? turn it off in settings under sound and notifications
Most likely means when it's charging, that's when it bothers the hell out of everyone. Answer: I haven't seen one that worked yet, good luck.

Thats not what I mean. It is the round light that you see when you're charging
as the other member just said. But you also see it sometimes when its not charging... I really hope there is a registry tweak to turn this off.
yeah it annoy's me to...
It's not only flashing if it';s charged...
It is flashing every X minutes....
I hope anybody has an answer...
Perhaps it's part of the ICI
lol.. bug the hell out of me too..
but some ppl think its cool
I've never seen the rotating light unless I'm charging or have a missed call/sms, etc. (which you can affect by changing your sounds and notifications settings).
So are you saying that you get the charging-style rotating circular light *randomly*?
As for disabling, the general concensus seems to be that it's not a registry entry and that the Smart Device LED API does not affect it. I have a feeling that it is a part of one of the boot-strap procs and in that case a file patch would be necessary. Haven't looked into it, tho. Just an unintelligent guess.
Does it do it with TouchFlo turned off? If it does, then it's part of the ICI
my original complaint - in an earlier threat that i had started - was that the rotating light, on when charging, is a bad thing in a dark room... i turn the phone face down but that stops mute on flip - - so i would like to have the light NOT on when charging
everything else about the light is manageable via notifications - just not the charging indicator

"Ring" LED Flash every couple of seconds

well today on my fuze, ive been very mysterious about a flash that occurs on the Ring LED every couple of seconds, has anyone got this kind of experience before? i was just like messing around on Album on TF3D and it started it to flash like once every i should say 6 seconds?, idk but plz tell me how i can turn this off...thanks!
Most likely that means that your battery is low (below 10 or 5%)
I think you can turn it off by charging your battery
thnx alot man! well now i know what it is but umm when i charge it itll breathe for like a good 10 mins then the light will blink i think i found what would be the problem and its probably this registry cab file i downloaded to improve the battery life
http://www.isyougeekedup.com/cool-and-easy-touch-pro-fuze-feature-enhancing-registry-tweaks/
i uninstalled it and the problem went away, ill let u guys know in a little to see if this is still going on
As stated it's probably because of low battery if you don't have any unchecked events or are charging the device.
You should note that the different sistuations have different flashing style, that way you can tell them appart.
well first i dont have any events checked yet as of just an alarm that goes off at 6am, when i charge it, the breathing light will stop after 10 mins and then the blink will go off every second and the battery meter on the very top would show all bars BUT like i mentioned earlier i uninstalled a tweak and it supposely thats what caused it
I've seen it happen on mine just from having an email marked as unread in the inbox (even after dismissing the notification). Something to look out for. (Maybe had to do with the ROM at the time)

Phone "hangs" after hanging up?

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but i checked some performance related threads and nobody mentioned it.
After hanging up a call, why does the entire device hang for about 10-13 seconds before I can use any other function (including making another call) ??
Anything that can be done to fix this?
Thanks for the help!
hello? I'd really appreciate someone to reply to this, just so at least I know I'm not the only one with this problem. Thanks!
did you do any radio changing?
It seems to be an issue with some radios on some phones. I have a list of radios that I use that will crash the phone after so many calls.
No, no radio changing. In fact I don't even know what that means.
The phone doesn't crash, it just hangs after a phone call for about 13 seconds like it's trying to process something. Doesn't anyone else experience this?
have you downloaded a bunch of app to run in the background of your phone?
it does sound redundant, but if you take a look at your task manager it'll show you how much of your ram is being used up. if it's somewhere high like 75% then you need to close whatever program is taking up the most memory.
another possible thing might be active sync. I heard that when active sync tries to sync while not connected it can cause slow downs and that might happen during or when you hang up a call.
good luck
Just tested it. Active directory was not on, and neither was there any background processes working according to Task Manager, and it still took 10 secs after I hung up the call before I could reuse the phone.
How long is it supposed to take for the rest of you?
a second or less. Active sync is the usual culprit for bad battery life, but it looks like something is running in teh background and making your phone calls take longer to quit.
download and install advanced config, and look in one of the settings which is called "hangup delay" or something like that default is 1500 mS (1.5 seconds) change it to 500 mS or what ever you want and see if that makes a difference

I've done that now, and all I've done is improve the "hang time" by the number I've reduced the "hangup delay" by. The hang-up delay was originally 3000, and I reduced it to 1000, so my "hang time" is reduced by 2 seconds, but I still have to wait around 9-10 seconds before the phone is usable again.
How come no-one else is experiencing this? There's nothing special running on my phone.
I have the Telus device and have the ' hang' problem as well. I have seen updates on the HTC website for different carrier versions that may correct this problem. None for Telus yet though.
do you have any sort of battery meter running at the top of your screen? ie tnt battery meter?
that app KILLS KILLS KILLS performance on the TP for some reason...
Yes I have a battery meter at the top of the screen, but it's the stock one. I don't know what a "TNT" battery meter is. Should I disable it, and if so how? And after I do, how would I know how much power I have left? And are you saying that those of you who did not turn of the battery meter had performance problems when hanging up?
Thanks!

Thank-you! I am also with Telus! If anyone has any suggestions - please help! This is the number one problem with the phone, as well as dropped calls on occasion. I like all the non-phone (ie. PDA) functions though (except that all my outdoor photos turn blue)
Found this which seems to help:
Dealt with HTC for the same issue you're talking about. Turn the "Auto save contact" off and make sure you wipe you call history and the issue will go away.

im talking about a meter that runs across the very top of your screen so that if it's halfway across your screen you ahve 50% battery left. if you don't have any idea what i'm takling about then ignore this lol

Charging Led Color

now now don't flame me for posting in the Dream Android Development Section. Because I have an ideal I would like devs to see and maybe you know, develop.
So my ideal is cross platform/rom app/hack to change the colors of the leds when the phone is charging. I know I am getting tired of Red, Orange, Green. its so dull and boring.
What do you guys think?
P.S. Mods please forgive my foolishness if I have posted in the totally wrong section.
You mean cycle through the colours when it's charging? or just change the colour?
There's plenty of apps on the market that let you change the colour for incoming calls, messages, wifi, etc. but none that cycle through the colours.
That would be pretty sweet tbh.

you're in the right section, android development. since this would be a development idea, you're correct. although it can be debatable that it's just a question... I say YES. so who knows what to do?
I think when it is fully charged it should cycle through numerous colors. Charging should pulsate between red and orange
Or can we fix the notification while charging? there is only 1 app for that and its a payed! it's something that should be stock on the phone like SMS
LED Notification flashing while charging
I agree. It would be great to have the LED flash while charging when we get any kind of notification sms, email, alarm, tweet, gtalk etc. maybe the color changing option could be added to the settings menu too. This is a great idea.
In cyan's roms there is a great LED color/flash rate changing menu in the messaging settings. Could this be a good place to start from?
Found an app that does just that, flash notifications when charging. It's called "Always Flash for root users." It's paid, I might have it free. (sssssssshhh). I didn't like it because it runs as a background service and I despise background services, but definitely works well.
I do like the idea of pulsating colors while charging. However, I'm not quite sure how the electronics of the LED work in the G1. I haven't read anything about it being able to pulse. LED's can pulse, but I don't know if the G1 can do that.
Doesn't the myTouch's trackball pulse while charging?
I don't think what you guys are saying is what he wants.
I think he wants when it's charging
<15%=red
<90%=orange
>90%=Green
He wants to change those colors to blue or purple or yellow or something

Its all the same thing. If we can change the colors we can also make them pulsate

Yeah, but it started to become one tree completely different of what he wanted, after the pulsate was mentioned
Hero LED
I remember Hero LED used to be able to change the LED's whilst charging, but when it got 'improved' it no longer interfered with the green charging LED.
Personally I am not concerned about gradiating LEDs whilst charging, but would like the LEDs to notify me when I have had an incoming e-mail or SMS whilst charging, and I dont want to have to pay £1 for the privelige!
Any kinda change is good though I do like the pulsating, Now thats sexy. Like when a mac is sleeping its lil light pulsates damn thats hot.
Yes all of your ideals are correct.
Always flash is a good start...
Okay, we are almost there, development-wise, if someone with some more expertise than me would get interested enough to the work... with Always Flash for Root, we know that it is very possible to get rid of the default charge light, and replace it with another app's notification. All we need is an app that detects a phone's charging state and battery level (can be done without root), and lights the led based on that (can also be done without root) in ways configurable by the user (a la "Missed Call" app).
Pulsing would be a nice effect, but whether that's possible or not, I think we should have it gradually shift colors from totally red, through the rainbow as it charges to orange, yellow, and finally green when fully charged. It is possible to light any custom color based on rgb values (there are apps that do this in the market), so this is all very doable with a normal app. All we are missing is a free version of "Always Flash" to get the default charge out of the way so the app can do its color changing thing. (once great Java dev creates it, that is)
hmmmm....
depending on the charge state of the battery the lights could cycle (or pulsate)from red to yellow to green...kinda like a traffic light
that would be awesome!

That's what I was saying, only have them fade gradually from one to the other. (say, have the color change slightly, unnoticeably, each time it pulses)
But, in any case, the point of this thread is not exactly how it should look (It should be largely user configurable, anyway), but how can we do it. In fact, I think we can see how to do it, if only someone can write the app...

Yeah always flash is handy, but I sure as hell did not pay for it. RGB does work and dimming is possible, this is proven by the old hero roms and there dimly lit leds. and the RGB value config is great. Hopefully someone that knows more about this will develop an epic free app.
Sorry for the double post but I forgot to mention there is a free app on the market called "LED Tester" check it out.
It would be great if a dev can find a use for it. ^_^

Change LED notification color?

I know its possible with apps but was wondering if its possible with the stock software?? If not, what ap are you guys using for this function? TIA
I use Lightflow.
I use lightFlow as well and its not possible in the stock software AFAIK.

Do we have all these color options in lightflow or only a few? If so which ones do yall use?

The LED in the phone supports RGB so you should be able to get a moderately wide color spread. Each different notification in my phone has a different color and blink rate specified by lightflow so I cant really go into detail there. The only thing I have yet to figure out with it is how to dim the LED as its really bright, and while I want a charging indicator, at night its hard to sleep with the bright orange on my phone.

Now it seems my notification LED is going off for no reason; there are no notifications currently showing besides juice defender and smart actions neither of which have an LED function tied to them; does this ever happen to you guys?

Ya, I've had phantom notification issues before. Before I got the settings right for my 3rd party SMS app (Handcent) I had a few issues where the notifications weren't clearing. The other thing you might check is that gmail will try and notify even if your using something else to mark the message as read, (ie: using gmail on a different computer and reading the message will make it disappear from the status bar on your phone cause to the mailing client the message has been read, but the lightflow notification requires you to open the app that's triggering the notification to clear the lightflow notification.) Other than that I'd try changing the color of different apps and seeing if the LED changes with it and try to pin down the app that is causing the random light.
Let me know if that helps,

Hi:
The best feature of lightflow is the ability to turn all the notification lights off at night, from any hour yo choose to any hour in the morning.
Tom
Those of you using light flow, what settings are you using? And are you rooted? What build are you on. I had never even noticed the pho had a notification light until I had had it for a while and I saw the low battery light one day, until then I had never noticed it lit.. I'm currently rooted only, have not unlocked the boot loader. On build 125-asa-10.
I first thought light flow was not working but have come to notice it is, its just extremely dim to the point you almost can't see it even in a dark room. Anyone else have this issue or know what I'm doing wrong?

I never noticed it being excessively dim per se, but when I first installed the ap at the office under flourescent lighting the lights seemed weak and not to match the colors I had selected. Once I decided to choose only a few notifications and with stick main standard colors (red, yellow, green, blue, orange, cyan) I noticed it was doing a good job of notifying me and the colors were unique and visible in all light conditions. For emails I have a long delay, for texts I have a medium delay, for missed calls I have a short delay, for missed calls messages or mms or voicemail from wife I have an extra short delay.
The only gripe I would say I have with lightflow is that it seems to stop notifying if not used for a while. Sort of like it's being dumped out of memory and needs to be restarted.

I'm trying to figure out if I have a hardware issue but im starting to doubt that too. I really don't want to do a factory reset but it may come to that. when the battery is low ~5% the led will blink bright red when unplugging, and bright blue when plugging in so it seems like its capable of going bright. driving me nuts that its not bright enough to see during normal operation.
