flashing lights and their meanings

Hi, the white light comes on on the front of the phone for different reasons. Is there a thread telling of all the different ways it flashes and what they mean? If there is, I couldnt find it.

If you go to the manual, it will tell you.
I know with it's "breathing" it's charging
If you missed a call / text it will rapidly blink
There are more

here is the detailed listing with a screen shot of the manual i think on fuzemobility.com

Cool! Thanks

notification light? Any hacks?

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.

Notification LED idea

Hey guys, I know one of the major cons about the Nexus S and NS4G is that there there is no notification LED light. I was wondering if the bottom function buttons (back, menu, search, and home buttons) could be used as notification LED. Could any of the Developers do anything with this concept? or Maybe even use the camera flash LED.

Yeah we already have this. It's called BLN support. Back light notification. Need to be rooted, have the BLN app and have a kernel that supports it like netarchy.

Yup just search BLN and BLN control will show up. There is a free and pro version. Pro version includes blinking and some other features.

You can find netarchy here.

hmm, what about this
BLN control - Pro or BLN control - Free
enjoy
works fine with Matr1x kernel too

Optimus 3d notification led idea

Maybe this belongs in the development area but...
The evo3d got a notification led wich i like...what about if we can make the capacitive button led's blink or something when we have a mail and sms...
Maybe more guys have this idea but well....tell me if its possible and a good idea

It is probably possible and I think developers will have a hand on it if they havent yet.

It will be eventually supported.

this idea is awesome. i think it is possible

Glad someone's liking it

This would be a nice to have for sure. If can light up those "buttons" to use for notification, it will be great.

This is already done with O2X, so it is definitely on the way for us

My previous phone was GalaxyS which had no led aswell.
I used a programmed called NoLed on the Galaxy. Installed on Optimus 3d and seems to work fine.

It doesnt support the capacitive button led's.

Sorry i was only suggesting this as a temporary alternative until further developments.

I really like this idea!
But is it possible to expand on it further?
Since there's 4 capacitive buttons on the phone, are we able to make them blink individually?
For example... home button blinks when we have a missed call, menu button blinks when we have a message, back button blinks when we have an email, and etc?

Noled seems to be working fine for me...

Yeah works fine for letting the SCREEN blink?
Were talking about the buttons

Unfortunately not. As the app page states, AMOLED uses no power displaying a fully black pixel so displaying alerts on the screen takes very little power.
Now as the O3D has an old fashioned LCD, it consumes potentially a ton of power just to turn the screen on at all, because it has to light the whole screen just to start. Plus, it uses the MOST power displaying black (least displaying all white), so it would need the opposite behaviour.
[UPDATE]
Ah I see you can make the screen blink, I didn't notice that at first. Might actually be useful then.

i've tested it with the developer of the LG notification app. it seems, that the files which have to be used are'nt writeable. so without root it won't work
perhaps we should send tons of mails to LG, that they make it possible.

Also the notifications can have a time limit, i have set at 15mins and haven't noticed any battery drain.

Modified 2X/Black touch led notification app
Hi guys,
I've modified Martin Börjesson's app and now it works on ROOTed O3D and I'll upload it soon.
To-do:
1) fading doesn't work
2) change of brightness doesn't work
What will never work
1) separate LEDs - I don't think there's a way to control each of them, only all 4 LEDs

[Q] Samsung Infuse Call, SMS notification light issue

Hello Everyone,
I have Samsung infuse installed with CM10 JB 4.1.1 v. 8/23/12 ROM which is working good, I get fare battery life of 1.5 days with normal use.
But I am not getting any notification on screen when I get any call or SMS, I get ringtone alert but screen is blank.
Please let me know if all are facing this issue with Call or SMS notification light. Also tell me if there is any FIX available for this.
Thanks in Advance .

There is no notification light for the Infuse, and none of the ICS or JB ROMs have the built in "screen light up upon notification" ability that Gingerbread had. I believe this is because the post-Gingerbread ROMs for Infuse are built upon code for phones with notification lights.
But, your screen should still be lighting up when you receive a call. Mine certainly does. You might want to try a re-flash.

Hi Lukas, Thanks for reply. I did re flash but I m still not getting lighting up screen notification when I receive any SMS.
Actually is it possible for Dev team to glow up Menu, Home, Back and Search button lights up or blink when we miss any call or SMS ?
That will be really great, what you say

The screen won't light up for SMS outside of Gingerbread ROMs. As I said previously, I think this is because the ICS and JB ROMs that are built for the Infuse are being built off of code for phones which have notification lights. Phones with notification lights also don't light up the screen for SMS...they just light up the LED notification light.
I too wish that the screen would light up when I receive an SMS, as I'm completely deaf in one ear and don't always hear the notification sound. I've suggested it on at least one ICS ROM, but that suggestion never came to fruition.
I think it's just one of those things that most people don't care for. I enjoy the added functionality of JB, so I've just learned to live without it.
If it's a deal breaker for you, there are still some really awesome Gingerbread ROMs that you can flash that will still have the native SMS notification screen light up. Or, perhaps you can go into the Development subforum for whichever ROM you're running, and ask the developer if there is any way to add this functionality back into post-GB ROMs

Use GoSMS it has the features that you're looking for and it's FREE.
