Finally picked up my Q today, and have it all set up nice and perfect.
But.
Does the LED only work with the screen off? Currently I'm using Light Flow for my notification/charging settings, and it only works with the screen off, and I'd like it if it worked with the screen on too.
Also, for others using Light Flow, it seems we are unable to get an actual orange color? Orange and deep orange appear yellow.

It seems Light Flow only works with screen off. The only notification that works with screen on is the built-in low battery indicator. (Which flashes red.)

I know we can enable and disable the leds by registry, but i was looking for another use for them.
I like the blue light of the bluetooth led or even the nice red color of the battery warning LED, can I use that as the radio led instead of that ugly green?
Also, I've seen that with Tweaks2k2NET the leds can blink smoothly, unfortunately that doesn't work on my magician, is there any other software to recreate the smooth fade/off of the blinking led?
Thank you.
[Q] LED Notifcation light
Hi,
When I get an SMS and my DS is on the table, I see the green LED notification light flashing for a short moment and then it turns off ? Is this normal ?
Also it appears that the Notification LED only flashes either Amber or Green. Ive not had a Desire before so im not sure if this is a hardware limitation or a software limitation. Does it not support Blue, Red etc?

All HTC smartphone blinks for only five minutes. On old model you can use Led Me Know or Missed Reminder to customize led notifications, but does not works on Gingerbread
Anyone know if the LED has any other colours than green / amber / red ?
I'm keen to know this too. . on my previous phone (HTC Desire) the LED light could do a variety of colors. green,amber,pink,blue,white,light blue. I was using GO sms to get the colours. but it seems that Desire S does not have the same LED.
As far as I know the led just supports green, amber and a kind of red. It's not a rgb led:-(
If you want the led to notify you longer than just five minutes use light flow from the market. I used it some time and it works. You can set the color an kind if notification for each event (eg sms, missed call, etc). But you need a rooted device. I got the full version and don't know if it works even with the light one. Try it and tell us;-)

CyanogenMod7 has some options to tune notification light. You can set it to keep blinking all the time, untill you will read new message or see a missed call (even while screen is on). Also you can set the color: green or amber.

I'm don't particularly care for the green LED notification for missed calls, etc. On my DesireHD I used an app LED Me Know that let me change the color or the notification LED as well as the frequency of the flash. LED Me Know won't work on a rooted Sensation, are there any other alternatives that let you change the color of the LED? Thanks

As of now, there are no other solutions for you. As a reminder all you have is Green and Amber. Rumours of red are floating, but Green and Amber are your two LED choices. You are stuck until a good mod comes around.
Gone are the days of the RGB LEDs. :-(

Well, if you flash amber and green at the same time, you get orange/yellow color. So we could say we have 3 colors

I would be OK with amber notifications, it shows up much better than green to me, and I would like to be able to increase the frequency of the flashes but it looks like I'll have to wait .
Is this possible using an app? Will MS allow such apps in the store? I want to get notification lights with custom colors when I have new SMS, missed calls, etc. and not just when charging.
The 8x doesn't have an RGB LED, so only the amber and green are available, and can't be changed

Meh. Thanks.
Still hoping that MS will implement this feature at some point in time. Its what I loved on my Nexus while at work where I just needed a quick glance at the led to know whats going on. Even a simple blinking green light would suffice for notifications really.
Are you sure about this? I don't think so that they're using a RED and a GREEN LED. It's easier to use an RGB LED.
I hope so, and the vibrate function isnt the best, would like for messages it had short burst vibrations. I'm just used to android since I was using it for 3 years!
Don't know about anyone else, but the one thing that really bugs me is the REALLY small, orange LED light HIDDEN behind the grill that indicates the phone is being charged! You can't see it in bright light and you have to hold your phone at a certain angle to even see it at all!!!
Anybody run across a settings change or an app or a hack that will allow you to use your notification light as an indicator that the phone is charging???
Thanks!
