Okay, so we all are familiar with the Green/Amber LED battery notifications. And the Red when the battery is low.
Well a few months ago I reported seeing my LED flash multiple colors. From green to purple to blue to red, etc.
Well, right after flashing rodriquez's newest froyo rom FRF91(r21 mod), the LED was a solid blue color.
It comes and goes. Sometimes it will even stay a solid green. I have no idea what/why it's doing this. The blue comes up more commonly than the green. I can't upload the photo right now, but I will when I find the sdcard adaptor to plug into my PC. But in the meantime, any idea what this means? Might just be a bug with the flashing of rom i did though
edit: It continues going from Blue to Green to Amber, then flashing Red. It has never done this and was never doing this until my most recent flash.
Are you using bluetooth maybe? Any light apps installed from the market?
Maybe its CPUStatusLED
Yeah It sounds like you are using that new app led status CPU or whatever its called.
Thanks a lot. That led turning blue and all that was really starting to annoy me.
It was some cpu monitoring thing. Not the one you listed, but I found it and uninstalled it.

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.
I just experienced the oddest thing, which gave me a fright. I was messaging a friend when suddenly the predicted words and message "bubbles" changed from blue to pink. I had just installed the keyboard some hours ago and had been using it without any issues. Thinking that I might have accidentally changed the keyboard setting by tapping too quicly, I tried to change that but could not find any pink theme.
So I got out of messaging, and to my horror saw that all my icons had changed colour too, to fluorescent shades of pink, green and blue, where there should be colour. I believe there was greyscale such as white and black as well, but I reacted so quickly that I hardly saw that. Barely able to think from panic, I rebooted the phone, and all the colours went back to normal! So I quickly wiped my cache and dalvik and did my titanium and nandroid backup.
Could my poor Note be suffering from some kind of screen failure? I've read briefly of screens turning green, but mine did not, only the icons and "accents" got affected. Or could it be a virus that attacked my phone? I'd installed a handful of new apps today and have uninstalled them since the incident. I've run Lookout Mobile and ALYac but they didn't detect any threats. By the way, my battery was down to about 15 or less when that happened, though I've frequently used my phone in such conditions without any issues.
Any thoughts about what might have happened? I feel a bit unsettled and am wondering whether to flash back to stock without root, just in case the phone goes kaput and I can't turn it back on nor flash with Odin.
sounds like a software failure. It is likely just a random glitch, do not worry.
People do believe that all the software products work the same way every time they are run, but that is not so. Data in RAM itself is actually quite fragile (compared to something 'physical') due to the speed and optimisations made. Magnetic fields and cosmic rays will always have a tiny but random effect. When you are processing 3 billion instructions per second (as your phone is at max), that gives you al lot of opportunity for random stuff-ups.
i've also encounter the same thing like you do. i quickly click on the sleep button off and on back and the color back to normal. battery indicator shown me that my device was 51°C. btw my device was non-root and running stock rom LA1 at that moment. so i guess it must have been too hot and triggered the color changes.
Happened to me once though not really sure the steps I followed to make it happen. A reboot fixed it and I didn't bother much with it anymore.
Thanks for all the answers! It's reassuring as misery loves company. Not that I'm miserable anymore, but for a few seconds I was thinking of life without my Note, and it was quite unthinkable!
Anyway, I know there's no perfect device so I'm not too concerned, though a friend who heard my brief account today said it could be a video driver issue, whatever that means!
Hi any form to change the notification led.colour?
I'm not 100% sure on this, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't change. I wish we had like blue, megenta, teal, yellow, but the only android phone I've had that was able to have all them were the G1. I haven't seen any other HTC phones with led's that change all those colors. I've seen many mods where ppl have replaced the led's themselves but I'm not that good lol.
so... I've had my N6 for about month and a half and last week decided to root, weird thing was, I DID NOT KNOW that there was a LED light on it ... while using stock, the LED light did not come on at all and only when i installed CM12 that i seen the light.
I want to go back to stock but i want the LED light for notifications. has anybody encountered this problem? how do i fix it ?
Stock does not support LED.
For me this is not an issue, why would I want an LED always flashing to show me I have notifications.
Went through the trouble of installing CM12 and you want stock?
Unless something was missing in CM12 like flaky bluetooth I would stick with custom ROMs

You don't want the light but i do ... preferences ...
installing wasn't trouble at all, my problem is that i feel like cm12 needs to get better and less buggy, the rom just started coming out so I wanna wait until most bugs are fixed, I was enjoying stock for a while, just wanted to test out cm12 to see where it was and for the way I like it, it's not ready.

Yes it does require root and you need the paid version of the app. I cannot believe the N6 didn't come stock with led notifications and double tap to wake. Beside the washed out/ way over saturated screen, I think I might return mine to ATT before my 2 weeks are over
Can't complain... Its huge but I kinda like it
Yes I was shocked at the light too.
Definitely should be enabled out of the gate.
Unlike the TINY one behind the HTC speaker grille with very limited viewing angle this one is bright and actually better IMO than Samsung's.

One thing to note is that for now with Light Flow the only colors for the LED are red green or blue. Or if you manually change the color with the built in light flow mixer you can make strange combinations with the top half of the LED being one color and the bottom half another.
I was minding my own business when I saw the phone's LED flash blue, I've never seen it flash blue before so it was weird for me but then I saw the notification and saw that it was for facebook. I've never used facebook on my phone until recently and I've had my phone for months. So are there any other "special" LED colours that you can get?
Use Light Flow
