FIRST OFF!! Am i wrong in thinking that the original htc dream has the light thatt reacts with the notifications?
i think you can solder a light under your trackball in the T mobile version of the g1, (im pretty sure someone has already done this) but would it light up with notifications still, or would it just constantly light up?
I am sticking with my g1, i love the keyboard and the nexus is too much right now but the trackball lights up and i want it!

Hi. Just bought a Kaiser after moving on from my old Hermes.
Seems like there are a few differences in the way the button lights operate. It seems that when a call or SMS/alert comes in the button lights (call end/pickup etc) do not come on - only the screen light does.
Does anyone know how to make these lights come on as well?
Cheers.
No-one else have this problem?
I concur this is true, but I don't know how one would solve it. To me it isn't a problem.
Not a problem here either...
...Just press the OK button under the THUMP WHEEL when you get a call if you need the buttons to light up.

Now this is probably me missing an obvious setting BUT - I liked to set my Hermes to have the keyboard lit up all the time when open. But I've tried various combinations of settings and cannot get the Kaiser's to stay on. In pitch darkness I fumble a bit as it goes off after only a few seconds and anyway I like that blue glowy keyboard even in daylight (not as bright as Hermes though ) Anybody got a setting to make it stay on??

Oooh I like asking newbie questions again

I have posted on this subject both here and at Modaco (See my Front panel lights post) and no one seems to reply so I can only assume that no one can find a solution.
Bump.......
This is really random, and I've heard if you switch out the OEM track ball with the black blackberry one, it shines blue a lil. After reading, I was wondering, is there anyway for the G1 trackball to light up?

Yes, I saw a movie before buying my HTC G1 and the scroll ball was bright white when someone called you, or as a notification for a missed call message etc....
How can we turn it on?
Hi guys,
is it possible to use the upper led as notification like in the other android phones?And if so is it possible to change the colors and the blinking time?
I did some searchs about this issue but i found nothing.
I too am wondering this, i just recently noticed that on a very low battery the upper led starts flashing
yeah same here, looks lilke only design for battery status.
im not confident in an api way to change it, and it might not even flash or blink, and still not very visible.
sry but i never eard of a tweak for that, but could be interresting too.

When I had a G1, it had LED notifications on the top of the phone which were very useful. The N1 only has the trackball light but it's really sl-ooo-www... I also wish the LEDs lit up as well.
Just got a new one quick qustion when u power off nexus one my friends vibrates and flashes trackball mine chimes and flashes trackball then screen goes off im running 2.1. also the touch screen is like i think so new its like hard to slide ur finger is that normal?
his phone is not on silent ethier?????
If you could write your question in understandable English, you'd have it answered by now.
I just got a Brand new Nexus one phone and i noticed when i power off the phone it makes a chime sound and trackball light up then screens goes off on the other hand my friends nexus one phone when he powers off, it vibartes instead and lights up but his phone isnt on silent? why is that? also the screen on my nexus one phone is like so new its hard to slide my fingers? is that normal?
Fingers don't slide well on the screen when they're even a bit wet, that might be an answer to n.2.
Enable "always vibrate" in notifications (default is "vibrate when silent"), and you'll most probably have the same result (not that it matters - it's just the phone being turned off, who cares what it does on the way there...).
where is that, im in settings and i dont see vibrate when silent
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.

Bad Samsung user interface? Samsung arrogance? Silly patents? Doubt there's a good reason.
But you aint gonna change it, so you'll just have to live with it!

i never noticed it until i read your post. it's actually amazing!
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.
PD: sorry for my english
