Blinking led when power on? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Is there a cab or settings what I could change that there would be slow blinking led when my HD2 is powered on?
F.e at night it would be nice to know is there still power in battery

that is actually a pretty col idea.
also since the led is multi coloured it could use a different colour/time to flash to the notification system.
i.e. when you have sms/mms/email etc you get the usual green flash, but when its sat doing nothing maybe once every 15 seconds get an orange or red (if there is red cant remember) flash to show power on status!

I would like to have this back as well. HTC has had this in its phones since the Wallaby and I don't understand why they removed such a simple yet very useful functionality. It was there in my Wallaby, my Himalaya, my Alpine, my Blue Angel, my Universal (and even in my MWg Flame). Without this indicator, the Leo just looks plain DEAD when on standby.

Exactly agree!!

To add to this, in earlier HTC devices, the LED would blink as configured in the sounds and notifications even when cradled or charging. The Leo doesn't do this. It just keeps its LED statically red or green even with new notifications. So there's no way of knowing if you had a new message or notification.
I don't know when HTC started to remove these functionalities. The Universal still had them. Then I had the MWg Flame for almost two years. When I got my Leo, they weren't there anymore.

Would be very nice.......

Anything new about this...??

I'd like to have this Feature too.
Maybe, it would be possible to configure the LED, to flash when the cellular network is available?!

Could someone confirm that is this even anyhow possible?

I want this too!

i would also be very interested in this. thanks

This must be possible as people have played around with LED before. God I miss this the amount of times I've turned my phone on cos there was no way of know if it was on or off.

It would be a nice idea.
Come on guys, is it possible ?!

PLEASE,any developer to help with this one?

Yes, yes... I am really waiting this... Devs, plz help!!

It would be nice.

I would love this also.
PS - I think all the clever devs have moved to Android or WP7. Not spending any time on WM anymore.

New phone, no led's

So I just got my replacement Touch Pro (t7272). and everything's working great, but the LED on the phone is not blinking at all... not at start up or anything... am I losing it or isn't there suppose to be a blinking LED in the earpiece?
My Kaiser had software to change the color of the LED depending on the response (msg, missed call, etc...), but can't find the app now...
really? 18 views, and no one can even tell me if they have a blinking led in the ear piece?

THANK YOU! I may have lost it, but thats the first step to getting it back.

Using button backlights as notification light.

Yesterday my girlfriend received a txt msg, and I noticed her trackbal on the HTC Hero was glowing.
I remember back in the days someone made a cab that when ever your HD2 screen is on, the button backlight stays on (doesn't go black after 7 sec).
Now my question is, is there a app what lights up the button backlights as notification??
The small notification light sucks on the HD2.
Thx.
+1
I would also be interested in something like this...
+1
Im mos def in!
When I get back home, I'ma try contacting the dev of the previous app, to see if he can make something like this... Or help us out a bit.
Great idea indeed. +1 from me here also.
great idea whould be so nice if aassigned to the mid button or end call button..
Great idea - notifications were so much easier to see on my old touch diamond when the circular pad used to light up around the edge. Hope this one can be done.
It would be nice but I'm almost sure we can just make glow the 5 buttons in the same time (not individually).
try best reminder , you can find it for free, it sounds when you have one unreaded sms or one missed calls and unread mails, you can change the seconds to sound, i have it a long ago since i had omnia i...., is exellent
with key, have fun
Mod Edit: Warez link removed, first & final warning

I was thinking bout knight rider... Like Kit!
use all the buttons illumination.
Imagine the light going from left to right, then back again!
So cool!

We want just the light, sound is always there...
I'll second that i want to see my lights strobing like kit when i have a message !
Ok I've contacted NetRipper.
His big concern was battery life.
I told him people installing these apps are aware that it may infect the battery life.
He is going to make a proof of consept...
ETA etc.. Dunno, he gonna contact me when he has something.
So please don't spam him! The app is on the way.
Light talk about notification ..
still no solution for some HD 2 with new mail notification light. However strange that sms etc.. does, and not mail.
Good idea, xmoo.
The LEDs for the buttons wouldn't have to be illuminated for very long at all. In fact a quick double or triple strobe every few seconds would be enough to alert the user. That would have a minimal effect on battery life.

Yeah, the Diamond notification lights would light up every few seconds, not all the time.Besides, I'm running the continuous keypad illumination app on my HD2, and i'm more than happy with battery life.

The problem is, getting the LEDS to work is no deal. But getting the LEDS to work, the device needs to come out of standby (but with LCD off tho, just like playing music).
And that in the Longterm can eat some battery. But then again, when were notified we directly gonna check it.. at least I am

Yeah but i think the big issue about the battery life is enlighting the screen. When its stays off, its not using power. I don't think such an app will take more battery than the current top-led status listener.

First tests seem to indicate battery drainage is fair. A small test indicates that the device in unattended mode only takes about 3% battery life in 2 hours (100% -> 97%). The keypad lights have been blinking every 3 seconds during this time.
If I have something ready to test massively, I'll let you guys know.

[REQUEST] Front LED Notification Customization

I am looking for a way to customize how the front LED (in the earpiece) behaves. I would like for the LED to constantly blink green indicating that there is a cell signal available. Other than this, the LED would behave the same way it always had. If you are familiar with older HTC devices, the LED would do this on a number of them.
I am willing to pay money for a program or ROM that does what I am looking for.
I'll admit I found this change...curious. Dunno why HTC felt the need.

I know that a lot of people find it annoying to have a LED that is constantly blinking, and I can understand why. I just find it very useful and really hope there is a way to restore this functionality.
I would love to have a program or something that would turn off the charging light. I find the charging light to be annoying at night.

[Q] LED notifications?

No notification light?
Ok wtf...
Not even a running charge indicator, no notification light? I mean it was so awesome on the nexus one and most every other android device with some form of glowing indicator light...
Now i dont know if a message or anything is waiting i have to keep turning on the phone. What a pain... Cant put a led in there somewhere?
Or is my phone screwed up?
Also, on two phone calls tonight the phone shut down and restarted...............

I dont have a NS yet...I have been reading the boards and trying to decide if I want one but I have a Fascinate and since its been rooted and debinged its a good phone but stock it was crap. I use something called BLN to notify me when I have a text or email. It lights up your buttons at the bottom. Its in the market but I think your rom has to be made to use it..I'm not sure about that but you might want to investigate that...it works better than NoLED.
I have no led running now. It works. I have it set to blink So it flashes the TV off animation which is cool.
Honestly. If You already have a galaxy s phone don't bother with the ns. I had my n1 since the day it came out I needed a new phone. There are many things ivwill miss about it. Like the desktop doc.....
More threads about this? Really? Can we have a mod lock this please...

Thats kinda what I been thinking...
Best buy couldn't get my upgrade info so I paid full pop. Was on phone with t mobile and bestbuys system couldn't get it happening so I can still get another phone suplimented. Tried a mytouch 4g but returned it. So much t-mobile garbage on it plus gotta pay for wifi teather
BLN ftw, wait for a kernel that implements BackLightNotifications and then download Blinky which makes your softkey's blink ever few seconds when you get notifications.
So awesome. 3 out of 4 calls ended with the phone restarting
Sounds you guys are having even more trouble than Galaxy S phones, I hope it gets sorted out soon.
I can deal with a dropped call but having the phone restart wtf.... I may un install everything and go from there adding one app at a time
When the phone is off if you click the power button it will show you if you phone is still charging or not

Left hole (circle) is the proximity sensor. Right hole (oval kinda) is the ambient light sensor. Hope this helps.
Does this phone even have a led notification light? thats the dots next to the earpiece right?
I ask because on my phone, i never get any LED flashing notifications when i receive a text, email, miss phone call, or etc.
Ive searched all throughout my settings but to no avail.. help?
Thats not an LED. It doesnt have one! Search. Its been discussed over and over again

LED notifications

Does anyone elses LED stop blinking for notifications shortly after it starts? I was hoping it would continue to blink until i check the message or what not.
Yep. Not sure why but it seems hit or miss on the LED.

is there anyway to bake this into the a ROM? It would really be nice to have it continue to blink so i dont have to turn my screen on in order to see if i have a missed message/call/etc

Yeah it's a little baffling how they setup the LED notifs, I'm hoping someone will fix/update/change that quickly. I've had the phone for two weeks and I still an not sure which blinking LED means what specifically.
Sire note, I'm also getting random vibrates which happen with no notifs at all and it's a little worrisome from a "what in the hell is the phone doing" standpoint but overall I love this phone.

I have had that before too, thought I was going crazy
Glad to see this is a sought after feature. Maybe I'll work with some devs and see what can happen.
