"Breathing light", purpose? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Did the search, nothing useful came up.
What's the point of the "breathing light"? I only find it annoying and pointless, but there might be something smart about that I've missed, please enlighten me!

Could be completely wrong here but I believe in the original thread for trackball colors (by chainsdd) somewhere I was given this as an example (all be it in my own words cause I can't find it).
The breathe light works as a way to "wakeup" the trackball. It needs to "wakeup" before it realizes what notification its blinking and hence what color it is blinking. This is why when you get a notification it first flashes the "breathe" to "wake" the trackball LED, then flashes the color sent by the notification itself.
Again, maybe completely wrong but this is how I have understood it....

Ok, thanks! I take it you mean that anytime there is something in the notification list it starts "breathing". I got NewsRob syncing once an hour, which puts a notification while it's doing it, and that would trigger the "breathing" light to turn on?

I still didn´t get the point of breath.light, but Trackb.notif.in.succession broke the breathing light for me...so, i got rid of it

Breathing lights are LEDs which bling momentary generally green in colour the significance of breathing lights is to make you aware that your cell phone is in active state and its radio is receiving / connected to cellphone tower. in recent Android devices it is not found. this breathing lights are also found on the blue-tooth devices, when they are connected and are receiving data there is a blue light which keeps on blinking momentarily

LED Notifications: Changing Blink Speed?

One thing I really miss from my 8125 was the fact that when I had a missed call/email/VM/text, the amber LED would blink twice as fast as the regular green phone status light.
I know there are programs that will change the LED color for notifications on the Kaiser, but I would like to keep the current color configuration.
Does anyone know of a way in increase the blink speed of the amber LED when I have a missed call/email/etc.?
Thanks for any help.
i want to know this too , any1?
thnx
Yes, if you want to break your LED's you can do it

as long as it's faster honey
definitely sounds good to me. missed calls having the delay between flashes decreased, or have it do double flashes. maybe the occasional beep or vibrate depending on setting for missed calls / texts

Well, it will break your LED's so in the end you have NO flashing LED's or sometimes LED's or wrong LED's. So, search, there are a few threads about it. They will be faster, but only IF they work. I haven't seen anyone that has gotten it to work correctly, especially on the Kaiser.
I sure wish there was a good solution to this...on my HTC Apache/6700 whenever I had a notification the LED would be orange and would flash twice as fast. Considering that in certain light conditions it's difficult to tell whether the light is orange or green, having it flash twice as fast is the perfect solution.
true , now we need a solution for this
On my mio a701 i had this feature , it was usefull

Do you or anyone else have a link to instructions on how to change the color? If I could change notifications to red it might be easier to see than orange. Afaik red is only for low battery anyways and my battery is never low. It's not possible to search for a 3-letter string like "LED."
Thanks

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 ?

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.

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.

Notification led

Good evening all.
Is there a notification led on the front of the Rog Phone 2?
And if it is, is it a monochrome led or a multicolor led? If it's a multicolor led, can I modify the color based of notification (WhatsApp message, Facebook Message, GMAIL, SMS, Lost Call, etc.) ?
Thanks in advice
Yeah. It is multicolor. I think you can set it based off of the apps but I haven't checked. Also the logo on the back serves as a notification light if you set it up. But I think it might be buggy as of now.

Yes there is and it's multi color, you can change the color for apps if you use a 3rd party app like light flow. You can only set the color to 1 of 3 colors i believe (Red,Green,Yellow). The default system notification color is green.

If you keep it on a table or bed next to you, is the LED visible if you glance at it? My earlier LG G Pro 2 has a very prominent LED. But the newer phones seem to have a LED that is so tiny and faint that you can hardly see it blinking or glowing unless you hold it right in your hand close to your face. I think it must be the same as this ASUS ROG II phone too. All the Huaweis and Xiaomis that do claim to have LEDs have the useless invisible microscopic LEDs.
