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...

Blue LED indicator for Bluetooth ??

Hey guys,
I've read through the forum and I got confused
Some people say we have a blue led indicator for bluetooth, some people say its only a bi-color LED (green and orange)..hhmmm..
the question is: Does Topaz have a blue LED indicator ?
if yes how can you set it up, so when ever your BlueTooth is on the LED indicator Flashes, or is On until bluetooth turns off
Thank you for the help

There is no blue LED indicator for bluetooth, so there is nothing to set up.

damn..
Thanks for the reply!!!

realy? I'm shure, the left led is a multi-color led that also can "blue", so it is a question of software & programming. But i dont know we are able to change this settings. May be in the future, with new ROM's ?
Sorry for bad english, i hope you can understand it...........

I'm using a small software on my Blackberry which is changing led color depending on the event. You may customize as you wish (for those who wants to know, this soft's called berrybuzz)... For example, blicking green when you got sms, red when it's a mail, purple for missing phone calls, blue when bluetooth, etc...
That would be fantastic if we only could port that on our devices... But not sure the led is multi-color.

How do you know it is a multi-colour LED?
It would have been cheaper for them to use a single colour one

hhmm, on low bat the led is "red" on full bat she's green. May be it is only a dual-color, but in the most htc-devices is biuld in a multi color (for example in prophet), so it makes my wonder, if not in TD2

I'm still hoping for a constantly blinking green "in service" light, I really miss this feature. If anyone knows of an app to do it, I'd be very grateful!

LED configuration

I am looking for a way to configure the LED on my Kaiser, so that p.ex. on a missed call, a new sms/mms or email, the LED flashes differently, in a different color or stays light.
Have tried nueLED which should do that and much more, but without results.
Any thoughts on how to achieve the LED config?
Thanks and rgds

Good luck removing nueLED, it's been stuck on my device since I installed it long ago... Blergh..
KaiserNotification is another one which modifies the LED behavior, but it doesn't change the inherent behavior of the lights, only allows you to modify which lights show..
Such as I don't want the stupid "signal" or "GPS", or "Bluetooth" lights so I disable those. I set missed calls to Red, Missed SMS/MMS to blue, unread emails to Green.
One caveat is that you no longer see charging/charged lights.. I dunno if there's some way around this, but it's not a huge deal for me.

[FIX] CM led notifications [MERGED]

These changes have been merged into the latest nightly. Expect to see it in the new dinc build on 11/30/2010.
-------------
Hey fellow dinc users. We've been complaining for too long and now we can complain no more (or some more)
I've made a patch that fixes the led notifications so that green and amber blinks now. You can flash this over any version of cm 6.
The led blinks like stock, but the blink rate is not configurable.
-Flash in succession works for different notification colors.
Flash like any zip. Be sure to back up.
Bug: There seems to be an issue with the led light colors not being properly set by CM settings.. Here is a possible solution:
tdiman said:
Next: Bingo:
Set a custom color (somewhere in the pink-red range). Got a red LED immediately.
Now flash color, blink rate work as advertised.
Hopefully that helps narrow down the issue me and CUViper are seeing.

Devs: I've started a Gerritt issue for the fix. I'm not sure if I broke things for other phones.. so hopefully there'll be more contribution from other devs to get this into cm6.1..... update- they didn't like my generic liblights fix, so I've made a device specific one for our inc. It works right now, but I will clean up the file when I get a chance.

I think it should. But please let us know if it doesn't!

Let me do a backup and I'll try it out.

nice.. much appreciated! what's left in terms of issues? just the cam force close or are there others? once the cam's fixed.. i'd like to use cm as my daily

The camera really only fcs for 720p recording with autofocus. I might look into it over Thanksgiving.
The led issue was just really bugging me and I was getting impatient lol..

No, go. When I get a text it doesn't blink, or even stay on like it did.

Sorry man, there must be other changes in Ruby that I don't know about. Have you tried changing the colors of your notifications? The driver only responds if it's green or red.

I don't believe Ruby allows you to change the color of your LED. We only have two anyway

You should try an led tester or handcent. An app that lets you change test the color of the led. I could recode the patch to default to green for all other colors, I believe that would make it work for MIUI. Pm me if you're willing to try it..

I think many users may want it blink for Ruby. Though, it does work just fine as it is being only solid. Reason I sorta perfer that is I'm not being tricked into thinking I have a notification. When it blinks I have to always take a second look at it
I tried LED Tester, only colors we have are green and red.

For the apps that have built in LED configuration, like handcent and kik. THey wouldn't even have the orange LED blinking right, which leads me to have it set to no blind in CMsettings and the app settings.
Will this fix work with those aswell?

I'm not sure what you mean, but I can use handcent's settings to set the led color. Only green and red work though. For the apps that don't have a way to set the color, I can control it using cyanogen's settings under the led notifications menu.

I added some review comments in Gerrit for you. When I tried it myself, I wasn't able to get it working until I uncommented your BLINK_FILE writes.

This b0rks the green LED when charging above 90% Now both orange and green are lit.
Also rather then plain green flashing I get nothing :/

When remove the comments, don't the blinks go sporadically?
I intended for the leds to be able to have both red and green, but it looks rediculous so I'm going to fix it.

I'm not sure what you mean by sporadic. It's a quick blink about every two seconds, longer off than on. But with your comments in place, I don't get anything blinking lights at all. The solid charge light works, but blinking notification doesn't.

Interesting, try setting different blink rates, it definitely works!
I'm posting a new version fixing the issue with both lights showing up.

Ok, this is weird. I built your second patch from Gerrit, pushed it out, rebooted, and then suddenly I was getting the opposite of before, now a long blink on with a short off. So I went into Advanced and chose "Reset all colors and apps", and now I can't get anything to blink at all. I'm about to give up and let you and others figure it out...
Can you tell what all the settings are for you? I have only the default "Miscellaneous" category, and I've tried "Always pulse" on and off. The other Advanced settings don't look like they should matter, but I have the rest all off. Then I go into the applications list and choose Gmail, set it to green or red, choose any blink rate, and then "Flash test" does nothing.

You should get a long blink with short off..
I just repeated what you did..
Reset all notifications,
Goto led settings for gmail,
Test flash does nothing,
pick green..even though it was already selected...
Test flash and it worked..
Not exactly sure why it doesn't work for you. lets see what the others say.

[Q] Notification LED colours

What sort of notification LED does the Galaxy Note have? I've used three different Android phones since the original G1 and it feels like they're turning into pretty useless two or three colour things now. The G1 had a multi-colour LED, something like six or seven colour choices, as did my Motorola Milestone but my current phone, the HTC Desire HD, has a pathetic tri-colour LED. I was seriously considering the new One X but that has a dual-colour LED!
Anyway.. getting sidetracked. Can a Note user please tell me what, if any, notification LED the phone has and what colours it can display if it does have one? I know this won't be a big deal to a lot of people but I relied pretty heavily on the multiple colours in the past.

it has none.

None.
But, you can install a custom kernel that supports notification light and software to enable indicator light, such as when you have a new email. Then your soft buttons will be lit up.
I think there's also variations of quality on those soft touch lights. I had two Note, one had clear soft light on the soft button, the other had dirty looking light on the soft buttons. Both works fine, but just something to know.

as what jeremy.chan and hp79 have said that the SGN has no notification indicator. but if we are taking about custom kernel to have the touch key light as the indicator, it will be white in color.

The only notification LED you can have is the soft touch keys backlight. It will be white in color and you can change the blinking rate to your custom setting.
You require root and a custom kernel like abyss which supports this and attain the said functionality by using this app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsIm5lbGRhci5ibG4uY29udHJvbC5mcmVlIl0.
Hit thanks if it helped

If your on stock rom, install Noled app from market.

Thanks for the replies everyone, I appreciate it It's strange to see such a useful feature missing or reduced from what it started out as but I'm sure there are reasons behind it.

It's possible make a notification like the iPhone 4 ?, whit the flash led, if you have a notification blink two times or something similar.
