[Q] notification LED - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

anyone who has a Tbolt, what kind of LED colors does it support? how bright/big is it?
are we talking moto droid multicolor "HEY LOOK AT ME" distress beacon or eris/incredible peep of tiny near-uselessness?

it is tiny and underneath the top speaker grill.. so def not a distress beacon. not sure about colors but have seen green and orange so im assuming the normal colors are supported.

alright, I got the tbolt anyway.
yeah, the LED is the same tiny one found on the inc/eris
so far LED tester only shows it blinking green; orange appears to be charge-only.
no blue, red, cyan, yellow, magenta or orange like the OG droid could do

I've seen red when the battery is less than 15%.

hmmm okay, granted I've never seen mine go that low so I wouldn't have experienced it. good to know.
unfortunately it doesn't seem to matter, the api calls for different color notification lights just give me a green no matter what :\

LED Question.

Back when I was running 1.5 I had Twidroid installed and the LED would blink purple when I had new tweets. I flashed both 2.1 leaks and now the LED is only Green or Orange. I have used a few apps that change the color but no luck.
Is there some way to fix this or am I just crazy and imagined that it was a different color before?
Thanks.
...Wait...What?
Uhhh never heard of an Eris having a purple LED....haha..
From what I understand the Led only does those two colors and the trackball only does white just in case your seeing things on your trackball too.
It seems I'm insane then. Maybe I was looking at my friends MyTouch then. Haha. Thanks guys. THats pretty dumb that we only have the two colors.
you can change the led colors but you have to be rooted and change the lib file. but i take no responsibility for you breaking your phone.

Notification LED?

I see people mention the LED but in store there's never any conectivity. Usually the same thing with videos on YT. Can anyone confirm an RGB notification led?
Any links to a video would be a plus. Coming from N1 can't take the galaxy nexus delays and VZ exclusivity so hoping not to miss too many features.
RGB notification led of the sort. The only colors I've seen it do is orange and green. Also compare the specs that are released for the Nexus Prime and the Ruby and the Ruby wins 9 out of 10 times on the hardware.

Green, red and amber (orange) only, not RGB.
Red only shows up on extremely low battery.

Can you guys test this out with Handcent , Blink or any of the LED apps ?
I have to have sound off most of the day so colored notifications is a huge deal for me.
i will check it out i looked into the files in the system and it looks like theres stuff for blue but not sure how to enable it

Cool thank you.
Blues what I use for missed calls
I remember Nexus One had same issue. It was RGB but only white was accessible. LilHermit ((I think thats who it was))figured it out and unlocked it somehow way before Googles official update.
ok i checked only red green work man sorry

[Q] LED Colours EVO 3D

Is there a way to change the colours of the LEDs for notifications o nthe EVO 3d or is it hard set as just the red and the green? I found some apps on the market to change the colour, but they don't seem to work and I'm not sure if its related to my rom or the phone just physically won't do it.
I'm running Nonsense 3.1.
Thanks.

no way to change color...
Solid green light when HTC EVO 3D is connected to
the power adapter or a computer and the battery is
fully charged.
Flashing green light when you have a pending
notification.
Solid orange light when the battery is being charged.
Flashing red light when the battery level reaches very
low.
I think the last time this was discussed, it was determined to be a physical limitation for the led. Sorry.

Orange? I never got orange!
No can do.
Ready tried to look up a way. But its not possible. It comes with a stock led light and the only way of changing the color is going inside the phone lol, you don't want to do that. Hopefully in the future Htc or any other company can give us that option to change LED color. And maybe perhaps coming out with more colorful phones for once.

[Q] What leds does the hox+ have?

Guys I have seen red and green do we have amber, pink, blue , yellow etc? Or any means of creating them? Is it just one clever led that has two colours or two seperate ones?

We definitely only have red and green, i don't know how it is made exactly but i think it's 2 different leds
Thanks reaper, and yep I clicked your thanks bar.... I do utterly love this phone and the arhd8 rom
I assume you took these colour names from LED blinker or a similar tool to control led notifications .
Yep, only green and red, however some stated that there is an orange one too. But that's not true.
Cool, no worries, I was just seeing if there was some nice led mod, I wanted blue and purple leds!

Did you know that we have a tri-color notification LED?

Up until last night I'd always thought that the Ascend Mate 2 (MT2-L03) had a simple dual color notification LED. That being green and red (the combination of which makes orange or amber). I've always been kind of annoyed by this, since it severely hinders the ability to define multiple custom notification colors like I've been used to with Nexus and Motorola devices amongst others.
Last night while trying to do the official Huawei 'downgrade' to Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) my phone showed that the notification LED is in fact a tri-color one - indeed it's capable of displaying the color blue! I was sort of taken aback, and this makes me wonder why Huawei wouldn't enable the blue segment of the LED in the kernel itself. I'd love to be able to have an unlimited pallete of possible notification colors like I had with my old Galaxy Nexus.
Just something curious that I wanted to share....

The Dev just said he isn't. lol. And to add to that said that it is unable to pulse. So now its just a blue LED that stays on when your screen is off? hahaha.
Did it not pulse with that boot error? I remember seeing it back when but don't remember if it was solid.

I will check into it in a few. Just got home. Never seen mine do blue. But I didn't bother looking at it while it was doing that. Lol.
Well after trying simple stuff mine doesn't seem to be able to display blue. May be hardware variation too. Or they may have used combo to get the blue effect. Sending Hex did nothing.
U-ra said it was an after thought possibly by Huawei and is wired different. (Maybe that's what he said) lol

It definitely pulsed, as in blinked on and off. Maybe he was referring to full PWM control or something...
Who knows, the only time I've ever seen it light was during a failed attempt at using the Huawei flash back to Jelly Bean.
He also said it wasn't very bright, which I definitely disagree with because it was quite bright - easily as bright as I've ever seen the green and red segments light during normal operation of the handset.

I've used both LightFlow and Light Manager and red, green and yellow are the only options. No blue.

Same for me. However if it isn't I kernel it still wouldn't work. Without the information about the hardware its a moot point. I will keep checking into it though. My curiosity will see to that. Lol.
Yeah, I would love to have blue as an option as well.
