i would be internally grateful if someone could tell me how to extinguish, once and for all, the green flashing "network coverage" led. it just bothers me, makes me think i have a missed call or the device is trying somehow to speak to me through an array of monosyllabic words. it has to go.
p.s. please dont say "stick a bit of tape over it". i already weighed up the pros and cons for that option.
the LED will turn yellow in case you have something missed. it will turn red when you battery is under 5%.
so if it is green, you're good. you did not miss anything, and you are "covered" (network wise ;-))

This may be what you're after.
cheers hicks, i think that is just what i am after. i would just rather it didn't flash at all until the phone has something important to tell me.
I personally like to know if my phone is on and can receive calls. In case the green light is off totally, it will be misleading to me.
It's bloody annoying if you are trying to read an ebook, though! Thanks in advance for the link; I'll give the cab a go if the forum ever get around to activating my membership!

ha i rember a while back when i got my first wizard it bothered me no one had a fix back then i think if i got rid of it now id miss it lol but let me know if that link fixes it
that cab was near perfect. exactly what the doctor ordered. my green light is gone. not only that but i can assign different coloured leds to different missed calls, texts and so on. its even addressed my problem of sms and missed call reminders! one small gripe tho.. cant assign a blue led to the bluetooth.... there's no pleasing some people!
Absolutely brilliant, this worked a charm! Especially no flashing lights or notifications during certain times, generally when I'm asleep!

yes, that cab is brilliant, and the best thing is that the guy is still working on it and updating the versions.
yea that program works perfect!
It does work really well at stopping the flashing light, but, unbfortunately, ther flashing light that I like - Bluetooth - can't be blue anymore! I set it the green LED, but because I am used to the green flashes all the time, I forgot to turn bluetooth off when I got to work this morning. My own stupidity, I suppose. If the writer can get the blue light working for that function, this will be an excellent program instead of a very good one.
I think I have what you are looking for.
LED-Killer 3.1
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=5689
This tiny little programm only disables the green network coverage LED. The rest remains unchanged.
Works like charme on my kaiser.
Give it try and let me know if it works.
nevermind.
I installed that 1st program and I got an error and now my LEDs dont work. Help!!
Error said "LED port cannot be opened" <----Why is that?

I'm the author.
If you are getting LED port cannot be opened it is likely in use by another program or it's being used on a device that isn't supported.
Have you installed it twice perhaps?
The program makes no permanent changes to your LEDs so to restore them back to the HTC default uninstall the program and do a soft reset, the best way to do this is press and hold power button and turn it completely off and then back on again. Providing you have no other programs on there trying to set them they will be back to normal.
Regards
Phil
Thank you for the program Phil. It is appreciated.
sweet thanks man my tilt arives monday cant wait to use this very polished app.
Anyway or program that would disable the screen lighting up when receiving a sms or email??? i cant stand when its in my pocket and the damn touchscreen comes on and it starts hitting sh*t lol.

I dont know if it helps, but try to disable the notification for new sms.
ill try that... but i do still want sound
think im jus outta luck, ill jus have to deal w/ it.
it bothers the hell out of me too.
i wish there was a fix.
In order for there to be a "fix," it has to be broken first. This is how it was designed. When you get a message the phone wakes and receives the message. Therefore, the screen lights up. So there is no "fix," its functioning as designed. Though if anyone knows of "tweak" you may be able to change it. But I really don't think there is a way.
wow dude lol i couldnt care less about terminology... its a problem for me and its annoying so i want a fix for the problem
Blackberry knows wut theyre doing , jus makes the noise and screen stays off!! lol
o well ill live

There you go again asking for a "fix" to the screen lighting up. The point I'm trying to make is that this is like going to Ford and saying every time I turn the Wheel to the Left the car goes Left. Can you fix that?
Also, I would think that preventing the Screen from Coming on when the Device is "doing something" would prevent it from coming on when you wanted to.

lol not everywants their screen to light up when somthing comes in, everyone wants thier car to turn left when they turn the wheel left.
cant believe we r goin this far about a word, but im not quitting!!
Definitions of fix...
1. to repair; mend.
2. to put in order or in good condition; adjust or arrrange: She fixed her hair in a bun.
3. to make fast, firm, or stable.
4. to place definitely and more or less permanently: to fix a circus poster to a wall.
5. to settle definitely; determine: to fix a price.
6. to direct (the eyes, the attention, etc.) steadily: His eyes were fixed on the distant ship.
7. to attract and hold (the eye, the attention, etc.).
8. to make set or rigid.
9. to put into permanent form.
10. to put or place (responsibility, blame, etc.) on a person.
11. to assign or refer to a definite place, time, etc.
12. to provide or supply with (something needed or wanted): How are you fixed for money?
13. Informal. to arrange or influence the outcome or action of, esp. privately or dishonestly: to fix a jury; to fix a game.
14. to get (a meal); prepare (food): What time shall I fix supper?
15. Informal. to put in a condition or position to make no further trouble.
16. Informal. to get even with; get revenge upon: I'll fix him!
so from these examples it obviously means something doesnt have to be broken to be fixed. could mean many things, and im using number 2, adjust or arrange. like it says, doesnt mean the girls hair was broken, she jus didnt like it so she fixed it to make it better.
FIX my screen from lighting up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
haha
I think it is a problem. My back light goes on from an email and stays on till the battery dies or I notice it. I have to be careful and check it frequently or I get a dead phone by lunch. I need the backlight to do what I setup in the power settings - I think it should be turning itself off. It ain't.
u changed it under power settings and under backlight settings?? def shouldnt stay on toooo long!
ki think we are outta luck here. I have the same problem.
I just have to lock the device from having anything accidently turn on
look mr. mcgee, you are very right ("its functioning as designed"), but it's a poor design to say the least. (Fire the turd that came up with that design)
If someone sends me a message i'm forced to stop everything i'm doing so that my phone doesn't get into mischief and go calling other people without my knowing.
I usually have my phone in my holster with S2U2 running. If only there was a way S2U2 would not wake up for anything other than a phone call, but would still vibrate or ring you when you receive an sms or the like.
If someone could come up with a fix..(or excuse me)... a tweak..... I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT!

Its a poor design maybe for u and some other few people. The majority think its a good design. I cant seem to understand your problem. When someone sends me an sms and my phone is in my case(holster) and I dont want to read it, I just leave it and the backlight turns of itself. Where is the problem?

Pretty much exactly my point. It seems every month or so some person comes in and attacks the phone for doing what its supposed to. This is the second Light comes on when I get a SMS thread I've seen. Next people will complain because the phone is ringing when they get a phone call.
As for the person who's light stays on indefinitely after receiving a email you may actually have a problem. The phone sometimes will "stay awake" if there is some program running in the background that is misbehaving.

Phones and everything in life can always be more. In this case our phones could, and in my opinion should, be more customizeable. The reason they aren't is because if the phone user feels overwhelmed by the complexity of their device, they may not like it and will be less likely to buy another in the future, so from a marketing standpoint there is reason to dumb things down to a degree.
I, however, want as much customizeability as possible.
My girlfriend's Samsung i760 behaves different from my kaiser. On her phone SMS messages will NOT bring the phone out of standby (and turn the display on.) It does give the requested sound and/or vibration alert and flash the LED and display the message notification on screen (when you turn it on) for the set time periods, though. The i760 runs WM6 like our kaisers. My kaiser, as well as every other HTC device I've ever owned does take the phone out of standby and turn the display on for SMS, though. So this tells me there definitely is some software method of tweaking it so that it does what you want. I don't know what it is, but it would sure be nice of someone knew of a registry setting for it.
BTW, our kaisers take the phone out of standby for SMS and MMS (and phone calls, of course), but don't do so for emails. Every day email and SMS become closer to eachother to me in significance and importance, so why shouldn't they cause the phone to behave in the same way?

Interesting. I'm sure there is something that could be done. I'd be willing to look into it. But I'd need a Samsung i760 to see if I could pull any info or software from it. So if anyone has a Samsung i760 they'd like to give me for development purposes of course, I'd see if we could figure out how to make this happen.
BTW, My phone does turn on the screen when I get an email.

ok, good point. Have u tried some sms applications? Maybe they have the option to not to turn the screen on. (just a suggestion).
If this ever happens to you, you have a bad phone and should return it. I really hate it when MY phone wakes up and decides to randomly call someone in Hong Kong.
Seriously - I have to understand this - you really honestly think that your phone can wake up and call someone, or email someone, or SMS someone without you doing something?

1- Battery life (there are already some 60 threads on the subject..)
2- When the phone rings, the display is activated and the softkeys automatically unlock causing you to reject or answer calls randomly while drawing the phone out of your pocket or pouch.
3- when sending an SMS, you type up your contact name (or part of it) then the diamond shows you a list of names to pick from. if by chance you clicked the wrong name (fat fingers anyone? ) you're outta luck.. the message gets sent straight away to the wrong contact..
4- i can't seem to get dataconnections to shut off with the hangup button, or with an auto timer.. i tried various registry settings, yet my connection is almost always on (auto connect is disabled, but once it connects, it stays on)
5- Opera is cool and all, but for some reason i'm finding it extremely difficult to use..
try opening facebook on it.. and at least in my case, the login screen redraws like 10 times while i try to type my damn login/password in.
6- the contact list in the phone dialer sometimes has the wrong type of contact on, like txt or fax, etc.. and in 60% of the cases when i press the right/left navigation on the d-pad to switch to a different number belonging to the same contact, the thing goes into a loop spinning numbers nonstop till i exit the phone and get back on again.
7- no tasks on TF3D
i'm not giving up hope on it yet, and i hope that most of these issues would be addressed when the Touch Pro is out.
1. Like you say theres already lots of threads on this, with people complaining, then others saying they're having no issue, or to wait a bit and the battery gets into better condition
2. If display didnt activate people would moan about that too
3. Huh? A text wont send till youve entered a contact and you press Send
4. Then you must have a program using the connection like push mail or live messenger
5. True. Opera is still a beta version though so issues will be dealt with i guess
6. Maybe that's an issue with your rom, I've not seen this
7. Indeed - Annoying. I think this is seen as one of the least Important parts of Exchange so it often gets left out of things like this.

Use CommManager to shut off the connection. I do this after I have finished with the connection. I don't mind it, and would actually find it annoying if the connection closed automatically after the program closes, as I usually use other programs which require a data connection straight after.

I actually gave up on TF3D and now use SPB Mobile Shell. This has been a revelation in how a touch system should be implemented. It is extremely responsive, easy to use, intuitive, and fully customisable. Also looks pretty with its own 3D effects. I think it compares very favourably with the iPhone interface.
To bad that you start to dislike it, anyway take a look here you might change your mind after that.

It is perfectly normal to feel like this, I actually use my HTc diamond mainly for sat nav and a back up phone. I also have the iphone 3g and it is a pain in the back. But I will keep persisting with both as they get better with updates.

Bored with the diamond.
Will use it for parties and of course for navigation (got garmin running on it.. and it works well for that)
Have had a tough time using a phone other than the SE P series (owned them all and loved them all.. without the flip .. all of them look amazing)
Back to my SE p1i as my primary phone. Diamond - put in my other sim card.. the number I rarely use...
it's not bad.. it's just not...whatever.
I got it on an impulse.. loved the looks.. hated a few things. Found this forum and it definitely made the diamond more interesting and useable.
so thank you guys.
But.. SE has spoilt me. In between I had tried Nokias and Moto's as well. Also tried out I mates.. but just didn't do it for me. Had to come back to one of my SE P series eventually (800, 900, 910, 990 and now 1)
But......
still waiting for the xperia.. will definitely give that one a try too.

yer keys are unlocked.. choose lock instead under windows mobile settings
3- when sending an SMS, you type up your contact name (or part of it) then the diamond shows you a list of names to pick from. if by chance you clicked the wrong name (fat fingers anyone? ) you're outta luck.. the message gets sent straight away to the wrong contact..
use the compact qwerty.. big enough for fat fingers.. any larger wait for the touch pro to arrive
4- i can't seem to get dataconnections to shut off with the hangup button, or with an auto timer.. i tried various registry settings, yet my connection is almost always on (auto connect is disabled, but once it connects, it stays on)
tts wad most peeps want rite.. use MOnaco's nodata.cab... u can disable and activate connections depending on when u want it.. do things manually is still the best.. esp when it concerns your bills
5- Opera is cool and all, but for some reason i'm finding it extremely difficult to use..
try opening facebook on it.. and at least in my case, the login screen redraws like 10 times while i try to type my damn login/password in.
zoom in then login
i din really have such an issue
6- the contact list in the phone dialer sometimes has the wrong type of contact on, like txt or fax, etc.. and in 60% of the cases when i press the right/left navigation on the d-pad to switch to a different number belonging to the same contact, the thing goes into a loop spinning numbers nonstop till i exit the phone and get back on again.
tts cuz the sim card saved wrongly the contact in the past..
7- no tasks on TF3D
task manager? or task as in the one that complements note?
i'm not giving up hope on it yet, and i hope that most of these issues would be addressed when the Touch Pro is out.

Give this baby a try
It has an option to "Slide for answer", so you have to "do da slide" like on iPhone to actually answer, so no rejected call will be ever

Yeap, this could be a little bit harder, but at other hand you have Internet Explorer too )) Or even Opera Mini at hand.
Iphone does not have those kind of options, think of it ))

I think this is a MUST HAVE (or TODO) feature for HTC, and i'm more than confident, that they will do it, in some later ROMs ))
So, things are not that bad as they seems ))
I can bet that most of your problems have to do with buggy ROM ))
My Tilt was working fine while I was listening to music over my bluetooth headset. Suddenly the display went black and I am not able to get it back. I cant even see the startup screen with the AT&T logo. The phone is working perfectly fine and I am able to play music, send and receive call and connect it to my PC and see the display on my computer through MyMobiler. One thing I noticed is that I can see very very feeble display on my screen without any colors. I ordered a replacement screen and placed it on my own but still the same behavior. I cant go to AT&T as it got an unlocked phone and have voided the warranty since I opened it to replace the screen.
Any help or guidance from experts of this forums would be really appreciated.
Thanks,

You probably tried this already, but just incase....but did you try to turn up the backlight setting (Settings->System->Backlight) and see if that made any difference?

I tried it already but it dint help. Also the display setting take effect only once yo phone has crossed the startup screen. Dont know why I am not getting any display even on the very first startup screen.
Sounds like a bad backlight
No solution yet
Me and another guy are going through the same thing. So far, no answer has been found to our problem. I also bought this phone thinking all it needed was a new screen, come to find out after I replaced it that it was doing the same thing. It seems like this problem only effects a very small percentage of Kaiser users.
So for whatever reason, my captivate screen is unusable at the moment. Random lines show on the screen but thats it. I can feel the unlock haptic feedback working so I assume the only problem is the physical screen. I know I had texts that were unread, so is there anyway I can pull those text messages via adb or something like that? I'm not sure how to go about it.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hmm I believe a warranty exchange might be your only option... From what I hear as long as the screen isn't cracked or damage (top layer) that it's still eligible.
Someone should be along that could provide more help then me.
I was wondering if a tv out cable could help you read your messages etc. But that would require navigating to the setting... Which would be extremely difficult.
