They will probably stick with the green/amber just like ALL the other HTC phones have had. Id rather HTC put a camera with a better ccd/cmos sensor in than a multi-colored led.
Id rather then do both and also up the damn battery to 2 days use lol

I agree.....they can and should improve the camera.....and I'd take a thicker heavier phone in order to have at least a 2000mah-2200mah battery in there.....and my old tilt aka touch pro had all types off led colors on that bad boy!!!

There's no reason they could't spend an extra .001 cents per phone and put in a multicolored LED. Plenty of other HTC phones have had them too FYI.
I've had red, green, amber and blue on my current og evo. I dont see y we won't at least have the current colors we have.

Has it been confirmed to have one? The Nexus S i'm using now doesn't have one which I think is ridiculous!
But yea, multi-colored would be awesome. The Droid had one and it was cool to be able to customize it based off of what notification it was.

Mine never did. Actually after an update a while ago it Jo longer gave me colors. Just green, amber, and red because those are the only colors the led supports.
I like the nice green wimax led across from the main led. But the only time I've seen it work on messages is on the MUIU ROM.

Not all evos have the blue for whatever reason... my first one did. My replacement doesn't.

Now I'm pissed!! You mean to tell me the evo does have blue !! Can anyone else confirm this? What hardware rev. has this? 002? 003?
And which led is it? the left one or the right(wimax) one?
Some ppl have found a way to mix yellow and green to get a blueish/purpleish color. But that's not the same as a blue led !!
I take back what I last said, I currently have the latest version of handcent and it only offers the green or amber light for text. So I have no clue about a blue one. I hope the E3D has one. I mean, isn't it suppose to for Bluetooth so you know its connected lol??????
HTC EVO = my best friend
Its the notification led. Sorry, I don't remember what revision it was... It was very much blue, and not a mix. It surprised me a lot the first time... facebook used it.
yeah I agree, It would be cool to have a 256 color led, Id have one color be sms, one for missed call, one for voicemail, and random color strobe for incoming call.
That would be pretty sick but ill just be happy with a blue light! And a back cover with a blue camera ring instead of red

Is our notification led multicolored or is it just red/green? Now that we have full root i was wondering if we could use handcent to modify the colors of the led! Thanks for the help

Unfortunately the only colors we have and will ever have are: red,amber and green. This is a limitation of the phone itself and cannot be changed.
Damn, how hard would it be for HTC to throw in a multicolored LED... oh well, i am def more than happy with the phone

I'm hoping that the 3d has the 2nd LED light like the Evo 4G did. That was kickass and very convenient for getting notifications when the phone is charging.

It's not possible, all we have are two colours, orange and green. Any other colours? We have yet to see them, maybe they need to be enabled at a kernel level, but we need source to find out.
It's quite possible(and is the case, in my opinion) that it is simply a dual-color LED, and that changing the color would require you disassembling the phone and changing the physical LED on the board.
Ohhhh I see. Well, only time will tell lmao. I'm too scared to take apart this phone xD

Does anyone actually know if its a bicolor led or not? If its more than that it would be great! Cause I like the blue color like the droid razr has.
And even if it is a bicolor led, we can still get 3 colors. Green, amber, and red. (Amber have both colors turn on at the same time.)

i wish we had a hardware map that was so detailed it narrowed the parts down to the screws that hold this beast together!
then we would know lol
When I have a Google Now notification, which is almost all the time, the notification lights blink. And since the lights only come with three colors, and it seems almost all notifications use the SAME color, I never know if it's flashing because my battery is low, if I have an email, text, or a Google Now notification, missed call, voicemail, etc!
If only Lightflow worked on the stock DNA, then I could at least change colors for some of these things. So irritating.

I have to agree, especially because the light is so dim, I never notice it unless I'm staring right at it.
agreed. i also think that the same led powers both lights. I could be wrong, but they are useless for me as well
Personally I LIKE the fact that they are useless. I hate annoying blinking lights.
They do shine fine in the dark I guess.

Seconded. I think they're perfectly subtle. I hate devices with super bright LEDs that light up the whole room when they flash.

The point isn't whether you prefer notification lights or not but that HTC chose to implement them and therefore it is reasonable to expect them to serve their purpose adequately, which they don't. They truly are almost useless being as dim and color-unchangeable as they are (not to mention how far recessed into the speaker grill the front light is).
Sent from my SCH-I605
They could've been a tad bigger imho... I rarely even notice it flashing until I actually pick the phone up and look at it... And at that point I mine as well turn the display on to check. Lol

ummm yeah.... the notification light isn't exactly HTC's strongest feature.
I like how they tried to implement them, I like them on both sides and think it could be very well done. With that said they are very dim and pretty weak so they aren't that useful.
I personally find it rather useful for certain things. I often have my phone face down (which I feel is the position it was designed to sit in) and the rear notification light has been really helpful this far.

instead of blinking, some notifications would stay a solid color even after making it set to blink. some colors would show up as other colors. horribly, awful battery drain.
lightflow was great on the gnex and terrible on the s3.
Wait, I was unaware the notification led was 3 colors? What are these colors? I'm assuming green, orange, and...?
I'm getting the phone tomorrow though

I guess my main problem is the fact that the led comes on even for Google Now notifications, and I have those on all the time. I can somewhat live with the limited colors, but because the light comes on for Google Now (and like I said, I always have those on), I never know if I have any other notifications because the light is always blinking.

i would love a s3 sized lamp on the s3. I can see if i had a message from a mile away. particularly useful when im at the gym and my phone is on another bench. I miss that

Well that was anti-climactic.
Anyone know what the color options are for the LED (s)? I'm messing around with light flow without much success.
It seems the back one only does orange and the front us yellow green or red?
Thanks in advance

I recall reading somewhere light flow not working on droid DNA right now, they need to update.
sent from HTC Droid DNA on Verizon.
They should both be able to do green, orange, and yellow.
Both of them have a green led and a orange led, and if they are both on it makes yellow.

it works, kinda.... Really what I use lightflow for is not so much the actual light, although it was nice with my gnex, its more so for the repeating notifications with custom ringtones/sounds for different contacts. I am able to get that by just turning off every led notification and just use the sound and vibration. When ever I tried to use the lights I just had problems, so I gave up on them, besides, the front LED is maybe the worst I have ever seen, and I hardly ever see the back as I lay my phone down with the screen up. So yes, lightflow works, just not 100% as its name would suggest.
Yeah in really hoping it ends up having a little more control over the front LED. I relied on the difference between white/red/pink for text/call/whatsapp on my Nexus and was really hoping for the ability to do that on this phone.
At this point I just wanna get the light to stay solid rather than blinking...

Hey guys Im new here, quick hello looking forward to learning a lot here..
anyways my first few questions, Im wondering if anyone has got Light Flow to work on their M8??
I had a S3 prior to the M8 and I loved the fact I could set the notifications/led color to separate apps.
I cant get it to work for the M8. does it NEED to be rooted?? what colors is the M8 limited too??
Really hope someone can help me out, thanks!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe your only limited to GREEN and RED.

Hmm Ive never seen green, only yellow and red.
You will see a green led when your phone is fully charged or you have a notification, (missed call, missed text, email, etc.)

Thats weird, I see yellow when I have a notification, at least it looks like yellow to me lol
can anyone confirm being able to control their LED notifications?? Either with root or w/ out root??
I just tried using textra with the notification set to cyan and it still used green.
I saw earlier in a thread taking about the m8 vs s5 and one of the pros listed for the s5 in one guys thread was an rgb led, I'm betting the m8 only has a dual color led
