Hey guys,
Can someone with ROOT Access check what colors of LED Notification is available for the MyTouch 4G.
I was talking to the developer of the LED Know app on the market and he said someone with root access would have to enter the following command to see the available colors.
Code:
find /sys/devices/ -name 'brightness'
/sys/devices/platform/flashlight.0/leds/flashlight/brightness
/sys/devices/platform/leds-microp/leds/amber/brightness
/sys/devices/platform/leds-microp/leds/green/brightness
/sys/devices/platform/leds-microp/leds/button-backlight/brightness
/sys/devices/platform/nov_cabc.0/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness
uh 2 colors LOL
good enough?
cd /sys/devices/platform/leds-microp/leds/
ls
amber
green
button-backlight
ha ha...the developer's exact response was "my guess is that it will only have amber and green but I hope I am wrong"
Well, he wasn't wrong after all.
Thanks man.
not a prob anything to get the development moving on this device before it disappears... or i brick it LOL

wouldn't turning on both green and amber at the same time make a third color?
What im wondering is if we mix colors or take led files from another device and push. although the two diff colors green and amber mixed looks like when your charging the phone if you look close the green is on too... i think
anyone know how to add a color? or mix and match with the 2 colors we have?

To add a color you would have to actually add on another led. You can't just add another color with a code because led only have colors that was originally put on them. If nobody put a green led for the full charge notification. No green led would be available. I'm pretty sure I'm accurate on my statement but if I'm wrong feel free to correct

Or maybe a green-amber....green,amber....green,amber blink pattern.
Could have sworn I see when almost charged a mix of both. Like full amber with light green.
Or, just really really tired when I.plug in at night.

I find the LED almost useless on this phone, as it's so small and dim compared to other phones. My hand reaches from the phone to turn it on, and my eyes fall on the notification bar for any alerts. I never glance at the LED.
I wish the LED would blink through the charging/charge light. If its sitting on the charger it stays solid, even if you have an alert waiting for you.

I've just been conditioning my battery, and definitely get red when dying (no question, it is RED). So I'm seeing geen, amber, red.
If you look close there are only two leds, green and amber. Amber flashes with low battery, green with notification and full battery. And both when charging.next time you plug in your phone look closely and you will see both amber and green on making orange
All look same to me. I'm colorblind. And the standard red/green/amber used as a status on electronic equipment is just a light to me. Sucks when I'm in a datacenter trying to fix network equipment.
im just installed liquid smooth and was charging my phone when i noticed the led was blinking, alternating between green and yellow. as soon as i turned on the screen, the led went to orange. im still figuring out how the yellow was showing in the first place, anyone have any ideas?

Sorry, my english is poor, but the forum rules says: "Only in english"... xD
I'm spanish (Sevilla y olé!) and I write the best I can without using translators to learn on my own way and not, this device isn't a iPhone xD
I also have only orange and green. No red, no yellow. Unless you count the charging LED which I have labelled orange as red.
There is 'amber' and 'green'. If both are on at the same time, the result looks yellow.
Yes, this device ONLY 'amber' and 'green'... (i miss u Nexus One!)
Hi, I'm having a small problem about my LED notification. In Handcent SMS it's letting me choose what color of LED it wants me to use
(Amber or Green) but the problem is even if I choose amber it always flashes green. Tried using GO SMS Pro which has more colors but still flashes green. I'm using Virtuous Inquisition 4.0.2 btw
I tried flashing to stock rom but it's still the same

Yeah, read about that somewhere. But still even if I choose Amber (or red for that matter) it's still a green flash, and I can't even change it to slow or fast blink frequency. Is the red led exclusively for charging or something.

That is true. There are only two colors.
I'm aware that it only has 2 colors but my problem is that even if I change it to red it still green. Last night I tried Light Flow and still can't change it so I guess I'm stuck at green then
Um... It actually has three usable colours to be precise. Not to be a jerk, just pointing that out there. Orange, Dark Orange (yes there is a notable difference between the two) and green.
Now, when you say you tried Lite Flow, did you actually read any of the prompts on the screen? For the Sensation you must run the app in "Direct Mode" to be able to get any colour other than green working. If you tried that, then maybe there is a problem with your LED...
Huh, mine always glows amber. I thought it was supposed to be green, but mine only glows green when it's finished charging or I get a notification while charging (alternates between green and amber) I personally like the amber though
Hey guys thanks for the reply. there is nothing wrong (I think) with my LED as it glows orange just fine when charging. In Lite Flow I tried changing it to red or any other color but now it's still flashing green, and I can't even change it back.
I'm fairly certain that my "green" LED is either burned out or the circuitry is no longer working properly. I know it's highly unlikely that LEDs burn out, but it seems to be. I noticed today that i wasn't getting any blinking lights when i got texts (green) but i am getting facebook notification blinks (blue). After much googling, i read all about the "restore" issues people had. I did several FDRs without restoring and even reflashed my firmware with no luck. Finally fed up, i tried testing settings with Light Flow. After trying red, green, blue, yellow, orange, and white. The only settings that made my LED work were blue and white, but the weird part was that both white and blue settings caused the LED to blink blue, but at least it blinks now.
Anyone else have anything like this happen? I've had the phone since it came out so i can't exchange it, i guess i'll just live with it until my upgrade. Just wondering if i'm the only one.....

Download LightFlow from the play store. The free version will support quite a few applications (the paid one supports more apps and has a few more features.) In any event, Lightflow allows you to set the color of the light for different apps, and it has a test feature which will cycle all the colors. On my phone, I can get green, red, blue, light blue, purple, red, yellow-ish, and a white/indigo-ish color. Not all the colors work, some default to a similar color.

I appreciate the reply, but it's clear you didn't actually read my post. I did all that with light flow. The only color that works is blue. So far in my research, i've found one other person that had a similar story where only his blue LED worked, But the thread ended with no solution and no one else had issues.

Hmm sorry about that -- missed that you were using Lightflow. So, the LED is not burned out because other colors work, as far as I know it's only one light up there, not one per color (I could be wrong about that though.) Have you tried a factory reset?

he said he tried multiple FDRs...FDR means factory data reset
Correct, several factory resets. The way LEDs work is that there has to be a different LED die for each color. So it's not technically just one LED. Even if it's one housing. Knowing what I know about LEDs, my guess is that it is an issue with the circuitry and not just a bad die in the LED. If this phone wasn't glued together for a watertight seal, I would open it up and investigate. But seeing as how the only problem I'm having is the color of the LED, I'll leave it alone so I don't break something else.

Sheesh - I'm really not scoring any points today, somehow I missed the FDR line too. Have you tried using RSD-Lite (or one of the RAZR HD tools) to flash everything back to stock?
Cpudan80 said:

Haha, you lost more points yet again.... yes in my original post I stated that I reflashed the firmware.
Also, I don't mean to sound like a know-it-all... but LEDs can only produce 1 color of light. Those RGB LEDs you speak of actually have a different die for each color. Even though it is in the same housing, it is controlled by 3 different inputs (circuits). That's what leads me to believe it's the circuit more so than having a die or two burned out.

Good grief! Anyway - yeah - I read more about those because I was curious, and you are correct, they appear to just house three separate circuits inside them.
So, yeah, I think it is a hardware problem now. Should be easy to get a replacement though, just have the Verizon person use Lightflow on a working phone...

I've had the phone since last October, I'm pretty sure it's too late to get a replacement, or is it? Also, I don't have the insurance on it.

Maybe not a direct replacement in a VZW store, but you should be able to -- the phone has a 1 year warranty from Moto.

Would I have to go through moto though, or can I go through vzw? I'm rooted but I can flash back to stock if I want to. The only concern I have is that if I get a replacement, it will most likely have the latest unrootable firmware. I don't want that either.
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD
Not sure - I've never done a warranty replacement before. Getting a refurbished one is a concern -- but I wouldn't worry too much about the firmware. If you search thorough here and droidrzr.com you'll find some posts from people who've been in this predicament. Supposedly people have successfully flashed back to the old rootable/unlockable firmware and then protected root and re-updated the phone via an OTA.
One year is standard i think

You have one year. I'd call up verizon. Hopefully they give you a decent replacement that isn't updated so you can unlock the bootloader (just in case you ever decide you want to have full access some day).
Crazy idea here but maybe you could try this. Go to play store, then my apps. Look at a Motorola app like smart actions. Click more by motorola. Install the notification light app. It's just a toggle. Add the widget to a home screen. Toggle the light off. Keep it off all day. Then try turning it back on and see what happens.

Well after looking up the teardown procedure and seeing that it actually is very easy on this phone, only about 2 minutes to disassemble this phone, I opened this bad boy up and discovered it is definitely hardware related. Pic below. Good news is that I can get the replacement part I need for $9 online. Then I don't have to deal with firmware issues or having moto or Verizon say it was my fault and charging me. Here's the pic.

Not sure of I can post links, but if you search eBay for RAZR HD ear speaker, you can find it for $19.99 and free shipping from California. It'll be refurbished. The one I screen captured above from etrade supply was only $9 but it was $20 for shipping from China. So I went with the eBay one.
I used a single torx wrench (shown below) it's an XTD-6. It's all I had. But according to the teardown procedure, the specified tool you need is a T5 torx. I guess either will work.

That's not a very good picture, I can't make a determination based off of that. If you post a clearer one I can definitely help you.
It kind of looks like a Chinese replacement screen. I'm not 100% sure with the picture supplied, but I'm going to guess that's what's going on.

Well respawn, you can test it with some LED notification apps. Change the color see what happens. Otherwise you can replace the light yourself if it's damaged or return the device (assuming the seller didn't say the LED light was broken) Hope it works out for you.
