So was wondering 1) what that light was called on the left side of the ear piece that lights up orange when charging, green when charged, and flashes green when you have a notification and 2) if there are any hacks to make it do different things...?
I tried searching for serivce light and notification light, but didnt come up with anything.
TIA
It would be called a power led or status led. You can change the notification settings but I don't know of anything else.
I was wondering the same thing. I am going to try nueled that used on my tilt a long time ago.
http://freewareppc.com/utilities/nueled.shtml
we'll see what happens.
I think it will work as that hack is supposed to work with any htc phone that uses AllLEDManager to control LEDs and our rhodiums do in fact use allLedManager. Im gonna give it a try as well. See what happens.
K it works... Unfortuneately, our LED on the phone near the ear piece is only green or orange from what I can see. For example, we dont have a bluetooth light that lights up when connected to bluetooth.
What I've been scouring XDA and the rest of the web for is how to turn the Wireless Network Status function of that LED on... I've searched & posted here and a couple of other forums with no luck. Really, that's the only thing I miss that my hTC Kaiser and most of my previous other devices had... ?
I hate having to wake my device up just to see if it (a) is even on (device is totally dark in standby), and (b) am I still in range for a signal *blinking green or solid red/orange*.
I've even gone through the registries of both my Rhodium and my Kaiser to see if there are any differences between the LED entries I could find... if anything, the Rhodium has a few entries in it that the Kaiser doesn't. *heh*
I have a TP2 with Verizon's 6.5 upgrade... nueLED didn't do squat for me... Anyone have any tips?

Disregard...nueLED doesn't work, but I figured how to change the settings in the registry.

Is there a reg hack to turn off the blue bluetooth light? I hate having 2 flashing lights on all the time (One blue and one green).
Thanks
I have installed Microsoft voice command 6.1 french and then the blue light turned off!
it is expensive to turn a light off but it works
(by the way if any body knows how to turn it one I'll be pleased to know...)

I will be please to be able to turn the green flashing light off too. I know that the flashing light indicates that the phone is on, but still annoying specially at night (please do not tell me to turn the TC upsidedown)
LOL, that's funny... Any way there has to be a way to turn them both off
There is a way. You know how to do a soft reset - you put a small thing in the reset hole.
If you want to disable the lights, do the same thing, but instead of putting a small thing in the reset hole, you put it on the light. You need to press really really hard... ;-)
However, there is no way to get them turned on again...

Thanks for that awsome fix...lol however, I would like a little less violent solution....
This could be done in some devices with Tweaks2k2 .NET (http://www.tweaks2k2.com/portal/staticpages/index.php?page=20050224182009983). I don't know if this could work for Polaris too.

No I have this program, tried this first. I doesn't work.
Anyone have an answer?
Try this
Try this one
It works great on my TC. It's written for the Kaiser but also works on the TC. I've turned off all my LED's except when I've missed a sms or call. It's in Dutch but the interface is pretty clear so I don't think you'll have any problem controlling it. If so let me know.
The only downside with this program is that you can't control the WLAN LED. If you turn off the Phone LED (green flickering) the WLAN LED also gets turned off. Another thing is that the orange LED doesn't light up anymore when you charge your device. Hopefully someone will write a similar program especially designed for the TC. But apart from that it's a neat little program.
Cheers.
Found a fix! This program is awsome. It is for the Tilt, but works great on my TC!
Thanks for this.
It seems to be written for the Kaiser and says that its freeware as it installs.
Seems to work fine on my Orbit2.
I've now turned off both my lights as default - they should illuminate if I miss a call / get mail etc.
I do some work with User Interfaces for avionics.
Cardinal rule - "flashing lights are an exception, not default mode of operation".
ALL flashing lights
Thanks for this, works a treat on my Touch Cruise / Orbit 2
Maybe this link deserves its own post... took a while to find it

Hmm! That explains why my BlueTooth LED stopped working - I recently installed M$ VC too... Weird.
Anyhow - while you've found a solution to turning off you LEDs, I thought I'd suggest another thing worth looking at for controlling them, for future reference - nueLED... It lets you redirect different LEDs. Still won't turn my BlueTooth LED back on though!
In Hermes I loved one feature: possibility of turning on the LEDs (called boldly a flash) with one of Vijay's apps. Of course I could not resist to test in on our (beloved) Rapahael but... Yes, you guessed right: marche pas/does not work/nie działa (choose the one you prefer). Anybody tried to work on this "problem of a person moving often in the dark areas with keys that must be inserted in always-too-small hole in the door"?
Of course you could just go in to camera settings to turn it on or off, it is only 3 or 4 screen taps away...
I mailed the author of the software, and he says that he will try to adapt to software as soon as he has some time, which would be in a few weeks. He says that there are people that already have modified his software to make it compatible with other devices. Anyone that can do this for the TP? I REALLY need that software too.
count me in on that one
i have been looking for it for 2 years now and it still dont look like there is gonna be an app for turning the flashlight on and off
as far as i know it is controlled by the cameradriver
Two years? It's been long available for wizard (vario) and hermes (vario 2). However, in case of my wizard I needed a rom update which included the correct htccamera1.dll (one that exports camera_flashlight method).
On a seperate note. I've been trying to get the flashlight to work on the touch pro, but no luck so far. Seems there is indeed (read it in diamond forums) at least one new parameter to the camera_init method. After debugging the dll it seems there may even be a lot more new parameters to the camera_init.
Anywayz, if I get anything to work I'll let it be known.
Waiting impatiently to test the results amd/or help in the process.
You could always try this:
http://www.artamata.com/pocketlight/
That doesn't work on the Raphael. It doesn't turn on the camera LED.
If you mean to use the screen blanker of that software, I sure hope you looked further, as there are other developers that made free versions, which are even more advanced (i.e. turning up backlight to full capacity at startup). Search the diamond forums for flashlight to find it.
Yay! I've just got it to work.
I'll build a small app for it to make it usable and post it on the forum.

you should try hTorch 3.2 as well,
which has a very elegant interface:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=440405
As I said in another thread; lately I have been using TourchButton in combination with G-Trigger, I'm really pleased with how well it works.
The G-Trigger program runs in the background all the time, so now I just shake my phone a bit and I get light, shake it again and the TorchButton program runs again (thus turning it off).
And in the event the light should somehow accedentaly turn itself on, it will turn off after 60 sec as per the TorchButton code.
Hi everyone,
Thanks to KarrdeNZ's well written guide, I managed to flash my rom to
********Hero ROM for Magic modded for TW users (based on Fatal1ty2787's releases)********
07/18 myhero-08 by redglasses
I just noticed that my phone's LED lights are missing. The LED doesnt light up while charging, and it doesnt light up when receiving SMS as well. I think the LEDs just disappeared completely.
Anyone encounters this and is there anyway to solve it?
Thanks!
Hero ROMS currently have the following issues
Bluetooth headset/mic support is broken, though Bluetooth headset playback works fine - no known solution.
TouchFLO sluggishness - don't use it or minimise widget use - especially clocks.
LEDs mapped incorrectly - no known solution.
Camera flipped/oriented wrong - need to reinstall old Camera package to fix
Take a look here : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking
I got my sms led working, via chompsms.
Charging still doesn't work but tats not really.important I guess
Yeah you can use chompSMS or SMS popup to get the message notification LEDs working again.
Also the LED does work while charging, well sort of, it will turn green when it's 'charged' but won't glow orange like it used to whilst 'charging'.

Well its a minor issue, so im not really concerned abt it
Hi there,
im looking for a solution to use the LED of my Palm Treo 500v as an alert for notifications, like you have it on BBs as well.
It has a red and a green state. Red blinking is reserved I think when there is no connection, but green blinking f.e. could indicate any kind of missed calls or messages as its not used in any other way.
I looked around but could not find any kind of working solutions.
Is here anyone having a working solution on this or is able to build one?
Cheers

1. the LED light (flash) is a yellow hue instead of daylight-white like every other android device ive ever used (S5 included). Is your light more yellow than other phones? Anyone got an S5 to compare to? I'm curious if I have a defect or if this is for all S6's
2. is there any way to make contacts only show "contacts with phone numbers"? The S5 had this, and my much older LG G2x had this, but I can't find the option in the S6
3. when I have my phones screen off (when charging, etc) I notice when I pick it up i feel it vibrate, like a buttons been pushed on the screen. Nothigns open when i check so at least it's not turning apps on, but obviously this hsouldn't be happening. Anyone else experience this?

1. My LED is soft white as well.
2. No idea sorry.
3. Settings - Motions and Gestures - smart alert
Sent from my SM-G920P using XDA Free mobile app
My LED on my S6 is a blue colour so far.
ACoolGuy: Did you mean to say soft yellow?
Saruya: Are you talking about the notification led on the front upper left? I'm referring to the flashlight/camera flash LED on back being a soft yellow
can others please chime in on this/
Lol. Im blind now from staring at my flash color... thanks! Mine is as you say. Report too. White... but a soft yellow is noticeable. .. not a super bright white or blue.
