AT&T Tilt gps always on? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Is the built in gps receiver on the TytnII/Tilt always turned on? Can it be turned off? Wasn't sure if it would be a drain on the battery being on all the time.

No, it turns on only when an application accesses the com port. You can make sure by looking at the right LED the one that blinks blue to indicate BT activity.
When the GPS is on it will blink orange -- blue -- orange -- blue
and when wifi, BT, GPS is on
blue -- orange -- green --blue -- orange -- green

LEDs status

The only LED I ever really noticed on my Hima was the blue one telling me BT was on or off. I know the device has a green, yellow and red LED on the opposite side that can either burn or flash, but don't ask me why. Neither do I know if the flashing rate of the blue LED might tell me something.
Last week when my battery was just about 99.9% drained and my Hima started to behave strange, I noticed that on external power the red LED burned constantly. And when I notice something like that, it's probably because I've never seen it before.
http://michael-channon.spaces.live...._c=BlogPart&partqs=cat=Hermes+Charging+Issues helped me out.
But I would love to know the exact meaning of all LED colours and blinking rates.
all the Leds's Rate are in the Book that comes with it
Thanks, but as I told before I bought 2 Hima's with broken screens years ago, under those conditions it's very rare to get anything but the dead device itself.
The service manual only tells me that a fast flashing yellow LED means battery is too warm (>35C) or too cold (<0C) to charge.
hmmz..u r rite..its unpredictable..any way i'll see what i can find
What I can see, it's blinking green on normal operation, lighting yellow on charging, blinking red on missed calls and lighting red on too low voltage...
Mine never blinks green. Lighting green tells me charging reached 100%.
Could blinking green mean GPRS or IR on?
Anyone ever seen blinking yellow?
I hope curiosity only kills cats ;-)
I guessed the lighting red :-(
Mine blinking green when it is in normal operation.
Yellow on charging
Red when there is misscall or message because I set to give LED sign
> Green for normal - with carrier signal operation and Fully charged while still plugged into wallsocket
> Yellow for Charging
> Red - missed calls/poor elec current while being charged/very low battery
@Maggy, there is a tweak on how to permanently disable blinking lite even during normal operation. could it be possible that ur units have are tweaked like such?

Not that I can remember, but I'm tweaking all the time. Aren't we all?
;-)
how come on my XDA my colors are
Yellow=Normal Operation
ORANGE=Charging
Red=Low batt
May be your led is expired Yellow and Orange is slighly different, you lose green color I think every body mentioned yellow in here is little bit mix with orange color
Or some of us are more colour blind than others

Turning off "breathing light" when charging?

A minor issue: When using the Diamond with TomTom navigation in the car, I have it connected to the car charger all the time. During night drives, the white charging indicator light gets really annoying. Is there any way to turn that off, e.g. when specific apps (like TomTom) are in the foreground?
Thanks.

nueLED would be a good way, if it was a bit more dynamic. After changes, you need to soft reset the device. So, switching the LEDs off while navigating, and switching it back on when leaving the car would result in two soft restes. Not very practical. Well.... I guess I must live with it, then.
A small piece of black electrical tape will work wonders

LED not blinking green

Hello
I've tried many roms on my HD, non showed the green led blinking on the ON/off button telling the device was on. Nor it was blinking red on notifications. At the end I thought it only showed the red light when charging.
Then, yesterday I upgraded the Hardsplwrapper and whenit finished I had a bautiful green led blinking in normal use.
After that, I have again triad other roms but none now shows the green light anymore.
There is a way to enable this feature? Why normally this light doesnt behave in the right way?
Thanks
Olaf
What do you mean by "right way" ??? In normal use the green LED is NOT blinking! It blinks only when there is an SMS/MMS/MAIL/Missed Call and so on. The Red one lights when charging and the Green lights when charge completed! None of them lights or blinks in normal use!
Ah, I thought that a green led blinking showed the phone was on and receiving signal, like in my old P3600. There it was a red blinking light that showed a notification.
But don't you think that a behaviour like my old phone would be better?
It would be usefull to see rapidly if the phone is on and receiving signal without pushing the on button.
Is there an application or registry mod to change the behaviour of the led?
Thanks
Olaf
My phone have never lost its signal or turned off by itdelf so I know it is turned on It conserves a little power that way not powering the let every few seconds. About the registry I don't know...

Never green light

I was searching answer for my problem but i didn't find one...
The problem with the G1 is that when turned off and connected to the charger the LED glows red (charging), but never turns green (fully charged). I could charge the device all day but there is no change...
Strange thing is that when the device is turned on - charging is ok... indication is ok, the phone finish with "charged", battery status shows 100/100
I tested the battery in another G1 and charging (when device was off) finished with green light and of course i switched the chargers and everything was ok...
Im not sure if it is SW or HW problem... or if is there any solution than returning...
Thanks for any help...
Wipe battery stats from recovery and see if it helps.
Good luck

Power Indicator Doesn't Change Colors

I updated my NC to run CM7 off the SD card and whenever I go to charge it the Indicator built into the USB cable never changes to Green when the battery is completely charged. Is always stays the yellow color. Anyone else notice this?
ya same with mine it never changes colour...
For me, sometimes it turns green, other times it doesn't. Seems to charge up OK either way though.
Odd I have CM7 flashed to the emmc and it always turns green when fully charged. Is everyone who's having a problem running off SD?

The green indicator is not tied to the battery percent gauge on the display. It takes a few hours after the 100% reading before the green light goes on...

that doesn't sound too right. it should turn on at 100% immediately right?
and i thought i'm the only one with this problem.

Nope... the green light is tied to a voltage comparator. When the threshold exceeds the predetermined voltage, the light turns green.
The battery gauge is tied to a ADC (analog to digital converter). That's how it determines the percentage power left.
The two are independent. The question was previously addressed:
