LED in Earpice

I almost trade in my cruise, but I noticed that the LED on the earpice does not blink..we tried to plug the charger, does not turn orange or green..so I back out..the store dont want me to open a second one.
I saw a guy buying in Fortress (in HK, it's been here since last Friday), and it does not blink as well... well but it really looks like a LED on it..
looking for the brochures.....to check

Sure it's not just the light sensor?

It probably is, the scroll weel thing seems to do all the blinking.

its definitely a light sensor
Cheers

Yes it’s a light sensor. I mentioned this in an earlier thread. It allows the backlight to adjust automatically to its surroundings.

Sorry evryone..just got mine...
It is the light sensor...too much on my Cruise...

ok, so there is no led on the diamond? that s not common for an htc, and that s not very convenient to know if you missed some calls or if your device if fully charged etc

Lol there is an array of lights around the directional control. It lights up veyr nicely, and much more noticeably than the tiny LEDs on previous HTC devices. It glows with a slow pulsating when charging, and flashes when there is a missed call or SMS (according to your preference settings).

"It glows with a slow pulsating when charging" and when charging is over it stops pulsating or is a solid light ?

It's smarter and it blends in very nicely with the look of the phone.
Very nice at night when the phone is being charged in the dark

oh boy, i love this one, it looks like it inhales the energy. It's alive!!!

Let's be careful, it could be HAL !

And how u know if the phone is still on ?Is there no option to make the joistick blink while in standby?????

Pull out the stylus. If it's on, the screen will turn on.

especially for the color blind folks like me. i could never determine whether my device is fully charged without turning on.
thanks to htc, i can do that now...

Charging LED - How to disable ?

Hello there,
is there any way to disable the charging LED ?

to each his own, but im curious, why? i just got my phone, but i love the charge lights

Very odd request. How will you know your phone is fully charged if you disable the light?

i bet it's just a registry edit, i'll look around and fiddle around with stuff.

You can also see this in the main display, when the charging icon changes to the battery symbol.
I want to follow up with a related question;
Is there any software to tweak how the LED is blinking? In other words, change the direction and speed. I like the spinning motions (recived SMS) better than the up and down (charging) direction.

Wouldn´t it be easier to put the phone upside down???

In that case, you may want to have the phone and a few other lights turned on while you sleep if the night nerves you. That way you'll have some comfort while sleeping.
If I've misunderstood you, and you mean the light bothers you, then I would also suggest not sleeping with the phone resting against your face, with the light flashing in an eye.
Ok by now you know I'm just kidding, so no offense, but couldn't you just put your phone face down on the table, or even on a cloth if you're worried about it scratching?

Lol, I didn't get far enough down the thread in time to see your response. GMTA! (great minds think alike!)

I used the kaiser notification setup program to disable all my leds

Try this
My girlfriend has the same "issue" about small blinking lights in the bedroom.
She has a HTC P4350 (Herald) and i installed nueLED for her to disable the charging LED and also the signalling LED.
I don't know if the app works on a TP
I does require .NET CF 3.5

I like the way the phone seems to breathe (with the light) while charging. I think it'd be cool to be able to have it beam different colors. Sigh...remembering that bright, shiney new v600 so long ago...

there 8 leds in it on the front. would be nice to be able to control this somehow. there is probably a separate dll for this. like the led of the camera which is hidden in the cameradriver.

A LED control app would be a awesome gadget. Because nueLED is very limited in functions.

Red light always on

On my HTC One phone there is a red light which is constantly on. It is on the screen near the upper left side. I've closed all apps but it is still on, quite confused anyone able to shed some light?

Have you changed your phone at all eg unlocked and put custom rom / kernel on?
That red light is the charging light. Not sure why it is always on. Id suggest a simple power off and on should sort the issue for you. Looks as it if has got locked in some sort of cycle.

Brighter notification LED ?

Hi, I think that the notification LEd of our HTC One is really poor. It really small and also not very bright, so it's very hard to see if you are not in a dark place.
But I noticed that when the battery is empty, or nearly empty, and you plug in the charger with the phone turned off, the LED is much brighter than usual.
So I wonder if it would be possible to make a hack for increase its brightness for every notification.
Thanks!

+1 here. No solution yet...

My led died last December. I don't miss it. But I was on the search for a brighter light too. I know that there are some hacks but I don't know exactly where and what.

Are you sure it's not just covered with dust or something? Try cleaning out with a toothbrush, some people "recovered" its led and loudness after cleaning

Yeah I'm pretty sure. I cleaned it very often it's dead and I don't care anymore. It's not worse to me.

Okay, I fixed my LED brightness.
It really was very very dim in phone's standby regime. Entering the bootloader or and other on/off procedure was setting orange led ON FIRE! That means there is a lot of power getting lost somewhere. In the /system/sys/class/leds/amber and /system/sys/class/leds/green there is a file named "pwm_coefficient" that determines LED's strength. I was unable to edit it on my (stock 5.0.1) kernel, but somebody may be able to do that, and alter the default value of "5" to something like "255" which I believe is maximum.
Anyhow, as a last resort (being so frustrated not being able to see my notifications on time) I decided to physically clean the LED's hole. I used an extra spiked toothpick (just give it a nice touch with a sharp knife, to make it super pointy and thin) and stuck it inside, rotating vigorously. It turns out that was it, it's as bright as new.
Still I wonder why dirty LED was shining brighter prior to boot?

Hi, is there anyway to totally customize the led notification light on the r1hd, apart fro mthe standerd red and green

I think gravitybox allows you to do this, you'll need Xposed framework though.

I have looked into this extensively. There is another thread about it already. Unfortunately, the LED is this phone has only red and green colors - that's it. Now, by turning on both the red and green at the same time, you should be able to get a third color - orange. BUT, the red LED is so much brighter than the green LED that the "orange" looks almost the same as the red, so it's really not usable. I emailed back and forth with the developer of the wonderful lightflow app to help figure out if it was a hardware or a software issue. Unfortunately for us, it's a hardware issue. They saved a few cents by using a red and green color LED instead of a much higher quality red, green, blue LED.
The bottom line is that the LED can only be bright red or green. You can use blink rates in combinations with the colors to indicate different things though. If you look at my post in the other thread, you can see how to turn the red and green on and off again with some simple commands.

Well thx for the research m8. It's unfortunate tho. But nevertheless thanks very much for the info

I was VERY disappointed to find this out! My previous phone was a Moto G xt1045 and it had a white notification light only. On the models after that, they removed it altogether in favor of "ambient display" - yech! Doesn't do you a damn bit of good when you are across the room and look over at the phone. A blinking light, you can see. A notification that pops up from time to time, you are unlikely to.
I was so looking forward to having a full color LED like the Nexus 5 I had years ago had. But... $60!

Sorry for my english this Led its only "Led charger" or Led notificatiom also?

No, it's not just for indicating charging. You can use it to indicate anything you like using an application like LightFlow.
But since it can only display the colors red and green, and both together still look like red because red is so much brighter, you really only have two colors to work with.
You can use things like different blink rates and sounds to indicate different notifications as well.
