Hey everyone, I browsed through most of the threads related to the HTC HD2 and could not find anything on this. What I was thinking was since the HD2 has a real nice dual LED flash why not use it to give us a notification when we receive a text message or a missed call.
Basically the function would be the same as the LED notification cab that flashes the 5 hard buttons on the HD2 but instead route it so that the dual LEDs on the back flash.
I know many of you will say that will use a lot of battery life but I think it might be very useful especially at night in a bar or club where you cant hear crap but a flashing light might get your attention. Perhaps have a way to toggle it on only in certain situations for example off in the day at work and on at night. That might save some battery.
Let me know what everyone thinks and maybe we could find a nice dev to help us out if enough people are interested in this.
When u r in a club, ur device is in your pants. You wont hear a ringing as well as u wont get attention by a flashlight, that shines within ur pants. Just take a look at the screen as often as u need or keep ur hand in the pocket by the device 2 feel it vibrate.
Sry, but that would b an useless app.
I think this would be useless too, which is why i would download it an use it straight away
Sounds a bit different and fun.

Hi anhphe076. For new email, you may wish to try changing "AvailableOptions"=dword: change to 0. It works for me.

Thanks a lot for the quick response and the extremely detail reg keys, thats why I love xda !!
And to "stefannemo" that wouldnt be that useless because I usually get a table in both a bar and a club and when I am sitting the phone in on the table right in front of me so I would definitely see the HD2 very bright LED flashing at me !

where's the cab?
reg keys seems to be useless
the reg keys are already exactly the same on my phone there is no change needed but the LED doesn't light up. I think that I was misunderstood in my request, when I said LED I meant the Dual LEDs of the camera flash and I believe the reg keys and mentioned cab are for the 5 hard keys of the phone (call button, home, windows, back, and end call button) but this is not what I am looking for.
I have included a picture so that all confusion is cleared up.

Although your request in my opinion seems a bit pointless, it also seems that people are offering solutions for something you didnt ask about.
You want the Dual LED flash on the back of the phone dont you?
I also wanted to post same question, can anybody do soft for this (to set up camera flash light as notoficators)??? Would be useful when you are in the meeting and faced town your device and turn to silent mode!
Nobody knows??? I can't believe!!!
i need this, thanks a lot...
Hi
Is there any solution?
I like the sound of this idea too!
If possible could the 2 flash LEDs light / flash / alternate when a set alarm goes off too?
Another thought, since the last ROM update I did, the flash LED's do not light up on camera mode until I press the shutter button. It used to light up constantly if I set the flash to ON. Is there a way to put it back to how it was?
Ken
For me doesn't work Help please
Well changing "AvailableOptions" to 15 didn't work for me.
I changed "Duration" to dword value = 15 and Options to dword value to 4.
Then the red light that lights up for missed call, lights up for sms notification also.
I have green for network, red for miss call, blue for bluetooth, violet for gps, red for charging.

hi all,
Quick question..... when i receive an sms/mms or email my TP will of course notify me with a sound and pop up message. However when i dont open the message and select dismiss, the notification disappears but the dame center notification light still lights up until i open the message itself... is there anyway to stop this?
By me pressing dismiss, i know there is an unread message so why the flashing light still, i think this is stupid? if i dont click dismiss then yes, i agree the light should notify me there are unread messages .... what if i just dont want to open some messages... then the light will light up forever??
anyone agree and have a fix?
thx
you can set how long you want the light to flash under sounds/notifications I think

yes that is true but doesnt stop my problem when i dismess the notification but not look at the sms.... keeps on flashing like the energizer bunny non stop ....
i think its just life and this cannot be solved.. either u have it on of off and as long as u have sms in ur box, it will keep flashing no matter what... sigh
thanks for the reply friend
The light goes off only after there are no unread messages in your inboxes. Previewing messages from the TouchFlo interface doesn't mark them as read.

Well, it is there to remind you that you still have unread sms. If you really want to remove the notification, just select "Mark as read" instead of "Dismiss". Anyway, WM has a bug whereby even when you select "Mark as read", it is not marked as read. This bug is introduced since WM6.

Actually, previewing the messages from the TouchFlo 3D interface did mark the messages as read. It must fulfil the time out though, it must be displayed for about 3 seconds.

I haven't tried it, but seems stupid that the light would flash if you've selected it not to

Mine's not grayed out... but my point is that if I press "Dismiss" after I get a sms, the light should NOT flash anymore as I know there is unread messages and I dont want to read it at that time. The light "should" flash if I dont open the sms, or select dismiss or marked as read.... As long as I dont select anything, the light should flash but if I select anything at all, the light should NOT flash..... is my point. WM didn't really think this point through....
ie. Nokia or any other make of phones... when u get a sms, you have a notification... after you dismiss the notification you dont keep getting other notifications (lights or sounds) do you? Of course not because you already know you have unread messages.... only after you receive new messages do the notifications come back.. that maks sense but WM on this front does not.
mine is grayed out- anyone know why?
Mine is greyed out as well, anyone know why?
Mine is too
So does the Fuze have a message waiting indicator light that flashes like a blackberry does when you get a new email or text message?
I just sent my self an email from my PC and the phone does not beep, flash or anything. I am using S2U2 if that makes a difference (slide to unlock like an iPhone).

Its in the DPad
The D-Pad is not lighting up on new emails, do I need to turn that on? If I send a text message to this phone while S2U2 has it locked, the screen lights up for a second and then goes blank. D-Pad still does not light up, could it be a problem with the S2U2 application not activating it?
Go to settings - Sounds and Notifications - Notifications and make sure 'flash light for __" is checked
I disabled S2U2 and sent a few more emails to my BB account and no D-Pad lighting up.
Also did an SMS text test, no D-pad lighting up.
On a missed call, it DOES light up.
Is there a setting in the phone to enable this for new emails and new text messages?

Hey guys I know you probably know where stuff in the registry is that I would never be able to find but what I'm trying to do is stop the notifications I get both the icon in the start bar and the bubble notification, for my new mail coming from outlook exchange 07 and text messages both receiving and being sent. I know I saw other options for notifications you can turn off, so I'm wondering if anyone know how to do this. I mean why are they even there TF3D shows you what you have haha.
You can toggle turning all these notifications on or off using Schaps advanced config. Download it from here
Really? sweet I just installed this to do those TF3D performance tweaks so I guess I just need to go looking deeper to find them, scary haha.
I just looked through everything and it seems all in order, like when it says show icon for some stuff its labeled as no, so I guess I'm missing something because I still get notifications/icons for when i have new/unread mail
Two things you can try:
1. Go to Start-->settings-->Personal-->Sounds & Notifications-->Notifications
Messaging: New E-mail Message & uncheck Display Message on screen.
2. Try this registry key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSAvailabl e = 0
To enable again
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSAvailabl e = 1
I think this should disable all sms notifications.
Give it a shot.
Found this too. I think this should just about hit the nail on the head for you.

for some reason my phone doesn't vibrate even though its set to vibrate as i recieve messages.
anyone have a clue ? and is there any notification software i can default to ?
No real answers here i'm afraid.... but you can try this:
1) i assume the vibrate works? when you get a call/txt etc?
2) Turn off the vibrate for e-mails, soft reset, then re-enable vibrate, then send yourself an e-mail and see.
3) If that doesnt work, try editing the registry for the notification (again, set it to not vibrate, reset, then change to vibrate and test)
finally, as i have disabled all notifications for e-mail (i manually check mine when required & dont need to to prompt me as i'd be looking at it!), i dont know if it will vibrate when you get a new e-mail if you already have unread e-mails.
Good luck!
try this, it worked for me
"With a registry editor go to
HKCU/ControlPanel/Notifications
Go through the keys till you find the one for the new email notifications, (look at each key and check the "Default" REG_SZ). You will see an Options DWORD with a number like 5362464 or something. Change the it to anything under 13 (mine is 5). Save and close then go to Sounds & Notifications to set how you want to be notified and it should work.
You can also delete the AvailableOptions dword to enable all options in the Sound & notification screen.
Please use at your own risk, this worked for me but may fail for you."
thanks for the feed back , im about to flash nrg's 52209 build and then try the registry because the first suggestion didn't work :[ thanks anyway !:]
When I receive a new SMS, the notfication only stays for 30 min to 1 hour or so (I haven't been able to determine that exactly), but for missed call it stays there indefinitely. Is this another WM idiotic default behaviour? Is there a way to change that to "normal", so the SMS icon stays until I open Messaging?
I am aware of the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D65B-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}] key and DWORD values "options" and "duration", but changing those does not seem to have any effect of the described behaviour.
Thanks in advance.
