Is there a way to turn off the blinking light on the front near the antenna? It really annoys me.
Granted having it come on when you are charging is fine, but the constant blinking gets on my nerves.
Try finding a silver sticker, cut to size and stick over the light, the charging indicator is also available under settings/power so you arent losing much. Heath Robinson rules.
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 :\
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.

Yep Orange. HTC says http://www.htc.com/help/au/howto_iframe.aspx?id=88661&type=1&p_id=398
Green and red
I changed led colours on whatsapp n tried but only green and red !
Hi. 2-3 days before I did a Jelly Bean 4.1.1 update to my S3 from kies. (My country has DLJ1 release of JB). After the update i noticed some LED problem. When plugged my phone to plug, i noticed that my LED's Brightness has decreased (the red one, while plugged in). I plug out and plug in lots of times and only few of them shows bright LED. Also these bright LEDs loose it brightness again in 1-2 mins.
I tried the LED on notifications also. The same problem occurs again. Most of times the brightness is low from its usual.
Firstly i though it was a hardware problem and open test of my s3 from *#0*# and test my LEDs lots of time. In "EVERY" of the test, the LEDs are bright as sun and bright as usual before. So i start thinking that is a software/firmware problem.
Note: I also read a comment in another forum, someone also complain about this issue on "Charging Battery problem on JB.
So is this problem is usual and known or what. Do you know the reason and solution. How can i fix it? Thank you for your replies...
This is surely a widespread problem, I've found it too. As soon as I flashed official JB, I noticed the LED wasn't as bright. I suppose it's not a serious problem, but it isn't right.
Hi,
Happens the same here, with DLIJ4 ROM.
[]'s
Only affects the red charging notification and is a feature, not a problem. Less glare.
You make it sound like the end of the world... how sad.
Firstly i though like that but: If it is a feature why i can see very bright red LED while charging sometimes. As I said before, 90% times the brightness is low. However also as i said before in few times I saw bright red LED after a moment its gone again. If it is feature, is it normal ?
Also this happens in blue (notification) LED sometimes..
So i dont think as it is feature...
Not seen it on other colours, red is always dimmer than it was on ICS. I recall seeing somewhere that it was deliberate...
This is a feture. The LED brightness is now regulated automatically, depending on surrounding light.
I also tried in very dark room and also tried in under the lamp. But brigthness of LED is not change anyway I dont understand this ...
It seems that the surrounding light level is checked only when the charger is plugged-in and then in rather long interval.
It's probably already known by everyone that this phone packs an RG notification light (damn you, ZTE!) What's more, blinking seems to be fixed to solid and slow blinking, and it can only display RED , ORANGE and GREEN.
But, at least on ResurrectionRemix, there seems to be a way to turn on the two LEDs that we actually have with the console, and with a desired brightness:
su
echo 255 >/sys/class/leds/red/brightness
255 is the maximum brightness, but it ranges from 0 to 255.
Also, we can do a very nice shade of yellow using:
echo 255 >/sys/class/leds/green/brightness
echo 64 >/sys/class/leds/red/brightness
There are also a bunch of other parameters inside, but brightness is the only one I tested so far. I think we could use this to control the LEDs via a root-enabled app like LightFlow. Is it possible? It would improve a lot the LED quality.
Yellow would be nice. Maybe if you contact the Appflow dev he could make it work. However i'm not sure I want to install an app just to add 1 color

not just colors, in theory... Blinking speed is theoretically changeable, but it is somehow hard-coded and only blinks slowly for some reason. I'm not even sure if it can be just solid when triggered by a notification
There are a bunch of files inside the red and green led folders, and I guess they are what controls the LEDs flashing speed and all. I say "guess" because maybe they are simply ignored and the blinking speed is hard-coded. But whatever the case is, it seems possible to at least turn the LEDs on via shell scripts

I found it extremely disappointing that ZTE gave us only RG lights on the non-Chinese version (I heard the Chinese version has RGB?). For diodes so cheap, I am only led to believe it must have been a manufacturing error on their part. Don't get me wrong, we get more than enough for the price and specs of this beast of a device, but how hard could it be to get RGB LEDs on this device? I really miss multicolour notification lights. This green-red-orange thing gets boring rather quickly.

I really miss the RGB led too. I never know when my notification is important or not.

Yeah, bro. Coming from a One M8 with the same RG lights (used for about 2 years, previously a Nexus 5 which was RGB), you would understand
