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.

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 :\
I am coming from the Droid 1 were I was able to setup different colored LED notifications based on different events. When I switched over to the Thunderbolt I can't seem to get those same options. Does the TB only have two LEDs?
For example, in Handcent I was able to set a different color LED depending on who sent me a text, now when I try to set that option it will not open the color selector. Same goes for TouchDown Exchange, I cannot customize the color of the LED.
Thank you.
I am also wondering about this feature. I know its been covered but I'm on my phone and don't feel like looking. But I think it has something to do with htc software or something like that

The only options are orange and green sorry.

Is that a software or hardware limitation?

Looks like you need a Moto phone.
lol. nah, sarcasm ftw. I came from the OG to the thunder. Never really cared for the LED color changes.

I personally liked being able to set a different LED color for my txt messages, made it easy to see if I had something waiting when My volume is off at work.
Minor detail though, that I barely miss now. I can just turn off the led notification for anything else, has the same effect. It's almost invisible behind the speaker cover though, the led on the TB is really only useful for determining when it is fully charged IMO.
I went from the droid to the fascinate and had no LED. Now I went from the fascinate to the thunderbolt, and I'm very happy to have any led.

quick question about the LED's guys... sometimes i look at my phone and no lights are blinking but then i look and i have new texts. i havent changed any settings regarding led lights or downloaded any apps to change them. are they suppposed to stop blinking after a while or is something wrong? i remember on my old droid one they would keep blinking untill i checked it, but then again that was a motorola phone... thanks in advance
Is the notification LED on the power button red only? I've only had my phone for about two days, but I haven't seen it be any other color. I searched around and all I could find were statements about an RGB notification LED (on the Sprint and other versions?) alongside statements claiming the AT&T version doesn't have one and complaints about how rarely it flashes (which I do find annoying).
Just wondering if anyone has seen be another color. A bit annoying if LG went with red only.
Yea, I've noticed this on my AT&T version as well... Hopefully once the bootloader is unlocked and we can throw on CyanogenMod we can see if it has a true RGB one.
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!
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....

If mate 2 gets CM I will add it if the dev doesn't.

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.
