Hi
When the phone is in standby it flashes the left LED to show connection with the network. The manual states:
"Shows Green and Amber lights for HSDPA/UMTS/EDGE/GSM/GPRS standby, message, and network status as well as for notification and battery charging status. Shows a flashing red light when the battery level reaches 5% or lower."
But doesn't state what colour is shown for what and I've only seen a flashing green LED. The description is a joke in the manual as it doesn't really tell you anything, and I have searched the PDF version for LED and found no other information dry.gif
I want to be able to see I have had a text message/voice message left without having to turn the display on, how do we do this?
Regards
Phil
Well based on the Wizard the led on the right that normally flashes green will flash orange if you have a txt or missed phone call.
Hi
If it does it doesn't look that much different in colour to be really obvious, not to my eyes anyway.
Can we change the colours, perhaps through a registry setting?
Regards
Phil
Hi
I've resolved this to my liking with a small application I've written, it's free for anyone else who wants some control of the way the notifications are flashed on the Kaiser.

Great little app Phil. I use my phone as a pager so its nice not to have to turn it on to see if you missed a message.
It looks awesome! Installing it now. Thx!

hi,
Great tool!, but ehh it doesnt work on my Dutch version TyTn2.
AMBER colour doesnt seem to work.
So does this mean your tool is made for an English version?
Amber doesn't seem to work for me either and I'm on the English version.

I tried the app on my AT&T Tilt and while the LEDs perorm according to the app, I found that the app caused my speakerphone to engage on every call I placed. I deleted the app and no more speakerphone problem.
strange...on my tilt it didn't work. I could change the power color but couldn't get the right side light (bluetooth side) to do anything
Is anyone interested in this program/functionality enough to continue developing it? I'd really like to see the ability to set missed SMS to the red LED like missed calls. I'd also like to see the solid LED function working again during charging. I'm not sure if the original author is still developing this program but it has a lot of potential. Thanks.

Hi,
I am very interested in this functionality. I am actually slightley colorblind and it is impossible for me to see the difference between the red, amber and green LED, because it is so small and just flashing up for a very short time.
I wish I could use the blue LED for missed incoming calls or a faster blinking frequency would be great.
Regards,
JTGBDR
yes indeed
I want to change the blinking speed of the amber light when an incoming sms is received or missed call..
I had this on my mio a701, so handy
Now its almost 3 sec to see if you have an missed sms , its too long...
Issnt there a simple reg hack to increase the interval?

I Already asked in this board for an redevelopment of this app... the idea is genious, but the original developer, doens't seem to continue his work....
So it would be really nice, if someone could code it properly.. the current app has some matrue issues and is in my opinion not really usable.

The original developer is continuing to work on this app, infact he is nearing completion of the next version. See post 40

Oh I'm sorry, there was an other thread I looked at, which was no replay since weeks... but the intresting thin is if he can fix the thing with the correct leds during charge.
Is there an app that can automatically turn on the speakerphone when the phone is placed face down? I think this would be a pretty cool addition. Any thoughts?
Gyrator can detect when you are using the phone and turn it face down and run a keypress for you. No idea if that could be used to turn on the speakerphone though.
Neat idea until your laying on your bed talking to your gf when your wife walks in!!!
[Note]Not that I would ever do that[/Note]
Would be a neat feature though, as long as you could disable it.

Im not married, so no worries there! I just thought it would be convenient if I had to put the phone down for something then it would automatically switch to speaker.
shirreer said:
Ok, if you like the TD2's speakerphone on flip stunt, then here's a cool tip for you...
Using Gyrator:
- Add a new "Rotation" event.
- Set application to Phone on the "Application" tab.
- On the "Orientation" tab check on "Portrait", "Face-down", and "Face-up".
- On the "Actions" tab check on "Simulate Keypress".
- Goto "Advanced" tab and select key "F16,127" which triggers the windows-native "Speakerphone Toggle event".
Done.
Now, starting NOT on speakerphone, whenever you put your phone on a level surface --facing up or down-- during a call, the speakerphone will toggle ON -> Moreover, if you pick it up it should toggle OFF. Good enough?
Cheers
P.S. You can also do the same for a "Stylus Out" event to fire when "Phone" application is focused, thereby simultaneously toggling on the speakerphone and starting up a new Note (default behaviour) whenever you take the stylus out during a call. Aren't we the lazziest lot..

here ya go.. I read this in the diamond forum the other day
Fascinating stuff. All of this customization is one of the things keeping the Fuze in my pocket still. Once in a while the bulk and weight drag me down, then I fall back in love the the ability to tinker the thing to exactly how I like it.
Directly related to this. I'd be curious to know how well the speakerphone works on a technical level when face down. I believe the speakerphone microphone is still on the front of the Fuze which I assume will negatively affect the overall performance.
I've tried this but I cant get it to work on a call out. Maybe I just put it in wrong. Let me know if you guys were able to get it to work.

I thought the microphone was at the bottom side ofthe phone. just above the USB port? Am I wrong? Thats what it looks like on my fuze.... otherwise I have no idea what that little hole is!

Yes, that is where the microphone is at. I usually turn my phone face down anyway while on speakerphone since the speaker is on the back and makes it easier to hear.

I was certain this feature was included out of the box and I had just lost it when I flashed new ROMs.
My Touch Incall Screen Tweak can perform this function - just search for it on here - its normally on the first page of this sub-forum. (not in a position to find the link, sorry).
Cheers,
Steve

Mate, stop reading outdated stuff! Find & use "Touch-InCall-Screen-Tweak" program, it is SUPER cool; its like magic...auto speakerphone whenever the device is not on your ear, very customizable too.

Hi,
I have a crazy idea
I see that the Htc hero, is very beautiful when the trackball light is switched on ...
It's possible to leave it switched on always, and make it flash on the notifications ???

Agreed, it is pretty,... But my battery life is poor to almost none existent at the moment,... I wouldn't want it any worse!
But I reckon there are apps for that already,... I think its Handcent that has the option to make it flash more,... there must be others.
I think it would be a better idea to use the trackball light as the Nexus One mod if we can. That mean you can have multiples notifications types according to the trackball light color I don't know if the hero has a multi colors LED unside the trackball, but it would be really great too, much nicer than just let it on

Nope its a single color led
Since its an led, it would actually use very little power. It's worth a try if anyone can get it to work

it WILL make an impact on your battery life if it is light up all the time.
it would be nice to have this led to blink like nokia E52 or N78 joystik button. It looks like "breathing" (also like Apple Macbook pro led does when laptop is spleeping). I would like it

We on covedesign are currently working on such a code where you can turn on and off all the different lights on your HTC Hero. Its currently an alpha but here is a little sample, however it requires root access and it is tested on eclair/legend based roms. We will release the full source code soon when its all done.
Try it out

Hey!
If you guys really really want the MOD, let's do something about it. AND I NEED ALL SUPPORT FROM EVERYONE.
Read Carefully.
I'm not sure if you've heard of PSX emulator or not. The author, zodttd, has started the project because he saw
there was a petition ( Here ) to have me bring PSX, N64, and the VLC media player to the Android platform. With over 1800 signatures I started work on PSX a few days ago.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So what I am thinking is, we should do the same thing too!
I have begun a petition. Now all I need is you guys to sign it. It's a really simple process.
Once we have enough signatures, we can show it to mods from other communities.
Petition
Thanks,
Clay
have you sent any emails to app developers or anything like that before you post a petition? I think you may be jumping the ball a little bit here... go ask a few developers first.. Im pretty sure someone might have the time (or knowledge to help you learn how to implement your idea...
doesnt seem like it should be that hard to link the led notification and a button backlight... they have done it with trackballs...
As soon as I get my vibrant I shall start work on this.. Someone will probably get it working before me but I shall give it a shot..
Petition is a nice idea, but no need for it. Im pretty sure once the vibrant (galaxy s) gains more popularity, the programs an mods will start to come.
wow making the button backlight as notifications is actually a really good idea.

Thirded. Great idea.
This would be fantastic. Good idea.
can't wait to see progress.. also, is there a charging light? if not can there be a mod to have one of the buttons (i rather see the search icon as a charging LED)
Thinking about getting a Vibrant, and this mod would make the purchase that much easier.
All for it!!!
Make it happen
Im still on the fence if i should buy this phone because im so used to my g1's hardware keyboard and the lack of an led notification is kind of turning me away from this awesome beast. i spent maybe half an hour playing with one today at t-mobile...if this gets done maybe ill get a vibrant and overcome my attachment to hardware keyboards lol.
a cool idea would be to have someone make the backlight for the buttons light up sequentially left to right!

Even in stock form you will not regret the purchase of this device I love this device
Agreed. This thing is amazing. Came from a G1 and the lack of hw keyboard isn't a big deal for me (and I used the hw kb constantly!). No led notification is odd, but if we can do this button backlight mod....
What about AMOLED?
I don't get it-
Why are we looking for workarounds like lighting the menu buttons when there's a Super AMOLED screen to play with? Since there's no backlight to lose precious mWh's from the battery every time you want to show a light pixel, shouldn't a simple white text/pattern/indicator drawn on the screen with the rest of it black/off work as needed? Make it flash, make it off most of the time like a normal indicator, make sure that notification is bright, perhaps make it customizable, and bingo!
It might even be more efficient than some silly LED somewhere...

and whoever mentioned the screen idea, its deff not bad either imo but idk how thatd compare to the backlight idea battery-wise...i mean maybe youre right it might take less battery to flash the screen rather than the menu buttons

that doesn't sound bad at all, something like the battery icon that the screen shows when the phone is powered off but is charging. have a notification icon show on the screen and have it blink at certain values
yes sir. i'm all for it as well!
That sounds like a great idea. And different buttons could be set for different notifications. Like say the Menu button could light up if you have a new text, the Home button if you have a new E-mail, and so on.
I used to do a lot of Java coding, but am pretty rusty. Tomorrow I'm going to start looking into implementing any of the ideas mentioned here. Already installed the android sdk, just need to learn how to write android applications
I just got my HD7 last night and it seems that the device does not have an external notification LED. I've tried searching through the specs for the device but I can't a definitive answer.
Does the HD7 have a notification LED? And if so, do I need to enable it in settings to illuminate when I get Email and Texts?

Nope, it doesn't have it i was as shocked as you, it has the light for when you battery is low but that it.
I mean common who needs notification lights, the general purpose of this phone is face book or to buy songs as others who feel the light is not necessary will tell you.
I freaking hate that it doesn't have it.
That sucks.
That could actually be a deal breaker for me. I need the phone for work but my department head doesn't want people "always checking their phones" during meetings. The indicator LED is a perfect solution for this because I can just leave the phone on the table and just watch for the light to illuminate.
Ugh.

actually it is a notification light, it just doesn't notify you of new texts or emails, but try ringing your mobile and not answering... that's right it'll flash for a missed call, how hard would it of been to add the feature for texts and emails?

Hmm, mine does not, when I have a missed call, no light I only see the light when battery is low or charging.
Yep mine works for missed calls...im sure someone will come up with something so we can change this. That is if anybody ever does any work on altering WP7.
Yep, missed calls and charging, sure it does it for something else, but cant think right now. Also, they might change the LED notifications in the update - I live in hope.
