Hi
I just received mine today, I was so consumed by messing around with settings and all programs that I just found that only one led is working on my phone - orange one during charging. Do you have the same? No notification about wifi/bluetooth/whatever during normal usage and it seams to me this model has 2 leds around front speaker. Do I have damaged phone, is it default behaviour or maybe I need to turn somehow those notifications??
There is only one on the D2. It's on the left. The right side is a light sensor to automatically adjust the screen brightness.
For notifications to show (flash green), go to settings/sounds and notifications and tick 'flash light' under email, mms, etc.
Thank you WMguy you saved my day
I experienced the same panic till i read the manual! But I really miss the "in service" flashing green light. It's useful as a quick check that the phone's in range and WM hasn't frozen and switched off as my last phone sometimes did.
I've already searched unsuccessfully, but if anyone knows a simple app to turn the one LED into a "in service" light I'd be grateful.

Hi,
The two lights on top of the xda2i.
I know the left one goes blue when bluetooth is active and the right one goes amber when charging and flashes green when active but what do the other colours mean? The one on the right flases red sometimes but I don't have a low battery.
Any ideas?
thanks,
Tom
When it flashes Red it is an indication for something else, such as a Missed Call, New text message, new email, or other such event.
Go into Settings and select "Sounds and Notifications".
Select the "Notifications" tab.
Select any "Event". (such as Phone: Missed Call)
This will include a tick box option that says "Flash light for: ## minutes"
By changing these settings you can customise WHEN the right hand LED flashes and for how long it does, for the relevent events.
This option is not available for every event however, such as a new Activesync connection, as for this, there is not much point in it flashing.
Hope this helps,
Dazzer.
The left LED also flashes green when you have a Wireless Network connection
excellent, i had never seen the flash light bit before. thanks guys

"Flash light for X minutes" in the Notification setting, what does it do?
I have it set to 15 minutes in the Phone Missed Call, but I dont see anything different. When I got missed call, the phone wake up (LCD turned on), got the missed call icon, and that's it.
Anyone can explain?
Thanks.
It's supposed to flash the amber power light for the allotted time.
Hi
The LED options in Windows Mobile don't seem to work as they are overwritten by what HTC think should flash.
I wrote a program to make things better, see: http://www.modaco.com/downloads-file2400.html

The phone is continuously blinking that I have a new sms!
I restarted, same thing!
I went through each and every sms in my inbox/email folders so that if one was "new" it would be read since I entered it.
Still blinking, so I uninstalled it, restarted and re-installed it. Still blinking!!
I then uninstalled it, restarted, installed it this time on my storage card, restarted and same! Still damn blinking.
I even turned off all light notifications and restarted, then enabled blinking, still blinking! I even changed lights but still blinked green and blue!
Wheres the malfunction?
thanks
Green blinks are normal for me, seem to mean the phone is on. And blue blinks means Bluetooth is on. This can be changed to some extent with a program, but I don't recommend it because the initial version of the program strangely doesn't allow setting the blue blink as an indicator of Bluetooth being on, which is SUCH a weird thing, since it's the default not only for this phone but pretty much for all phones with Bluetooth capability.

You are not familiar with this app called Kaiser Notification by Phil Lee.
It allows you to disable lights and then enable lights for different notifications.
So you can set it to blink green (right lamp) for new sms and blue for new email or vice versa.
You can have it blink amber for bluetooth on, red for missed call and green for phone in service.
Or you can turn off all blinking notifications.
Mine is blinking blue even though I have no new sms.
Hi
This problem has been reported before although I've never seen it. What seems to happen is Windows Mobile gets out of sync with the count of unread messages. The program itself just looks at these counts so if it is told by Windows Mobile there are 'x' unread messages it sets the LED flashing.
A fix is discussed here which requires using a registry editor to reset the counts. I'm working a newer version with some extra features and will look to change the code to either include this fix or to keep count of messages itself rather than use the Windows Mobile reported counts.
Hope the above helps.

Phil
Hi Phil,
Thanks for taking the time to create such a great app and the time to respond to errors. I checked the thread you referred to and it is literally exactly what im going through,e xcept I havent edited the registry yet.
Thanks again!
Does optimus 4x has led notification light?
No, the O4X doesn't have it.
And the app 'LG Notifications' doesn't seem to work for 4X yet. It worked fine on my 2X.
This app flashes the light in the buttons whenever there are new e-mail, SMS, missed calls and so on.
Great app, and hopefully they will get it working on the 4X soon.
didn't found anything about front-button-led notifications in settings..
all i found, is to turn on/off light on buttons, and timeout for them.
I am very sad, because the best device in the world (4X HD) does not have the LED, please we want a solution for that.
Good Software AND Hardware AND IPS WOW.
I think we(somebody) can use(make a rom) to bring the front button for led notification.
the button's have led's, then there must be a way to use them for notifications
Unfortunately no program of the market, active touch LED notification!
Install the app NoLed, it is very useful and works on 4X perfectly. Different kind of customization to suit your lifestyle, e.g. icon, color of led, time to turn on/off led. It saves you trouble to press the Power button to check whether there is email, SMS, missed call,..............in. case you miss the sound notifications.
There are also other features to save battery - notification timeout, dismiss with proximity sensor (dismiss notifications when phone is in pocket or upside down), etc.
Yep, nice app !
I installed this, but I don't get it! Surely you have to wake your screen up to see what you've missed? How is that different from what the lock screen shows you?
(Those apps that light the soft-keys look great, if you could individually light them, one for calls, one for messages, one for emails (Not sure if the phone could even light them one by one)

It works on my 4X perfectly, I even tried to add the Time yesterday and it pops up with the notification. No need to wake your screen up, that's the idea of NoLed! Look up the setting to see what you missed.
BTW, you can let the Time light up constantly but surely it will drain out your battery very fast.
I am coming from a z1c where the following occurred depending on notification type:
When a notification happened that was the blue light color(usually everything but phone calls and messaging) the phone would have 2 very short vibrates upon notification.
When a notification happened that was the white light color(usually JUST phone and messaging) the phone would have 2 longer vibrates upon notification.
I recently upgraded to a xz1c from my z1c and am at the US .119 firmware level.
The above notification vibration differentiation doesnt happen anymore =( its just always 2 long vibrates regardless of notification type (blue or white). Ive looked all over in options and dont see anything for it =(
I miss the behaviour of z1c in this case because I could easily tell from vibration in my pocket if it was something I had to prioritize or not.
Does anyone know of a place to change this? Is there any tweak I can do when rooted to system files to change this?
Thanks
