Led notification light - HTC EVO 3D

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.

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

It's green during every phone call. For multitasking during a phone call to notify you of a connected call.

Probably the connection is still active. I don't think its a bug.
Is the bar supposed to turn green for the entire call? Im not talking about seeing an icon in the pull down menu im talking about the bar with the signal strength and gps and all the icons, that bar turns green for a split second when i end a call
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Yea its a new feature in sense 3.0 the notification bar pulses green during a call, it might blink again after you hung up because the connection still may be active or it will still blink until the cycle is over.

Bar never turns any oyher color then black during the phone call its only when i hut end call does it blink green, should i return it or what, im also getting very very slow data and bad reception with my phone, last one i returned due to it not sleeping

Do you just not read what people are telling you in the responses or don't believe them? It's not a bug. It's a feature, next time your on a call, hit the home key and watch the notification bar, it flashes green if your on a different screen besides the phone dialer to let you know you have a connected call.
You may want to return it and get a dumbphone.
IM SORRY I MISUNDERSTOOD

Actually, if you ever ran the Desire ports on the 4G it did this also. So its been a feature since Sense 2.+.
@Cody:You need to stop opening threads every time you have an idea. You invite it upon yourself.
yes it is a green bug.
haha jeeze man you just looking for a reason to return it? jk, but yeah its supposed to do that, noticed my buddies droid x do that too the other day.

is there a way to leave the Red Capacitive Buttons on?

I know they turn on in low light but is there a way to keep them from turning off while in bright light??
many times I have wished they were lit so I can see them
I have been looking for the same thing!

Put a small, removable sticker over the light sensor on the top of your Rezound?
You can always get them to our come on, on demand, by placing your thumb or finger over the light sensor.

The ineffibilis gingerbread rom has the option to keep the lights on. ICS roms have them on all the time I think.
There's an app called keyboard backlight. It lets you keep them off or on all the time

I was using the mik tweaks in the inneffabilis ROM for this, but you have to reselect it every time you restart.

Blocking the sensor works, but...
I just tried putting a small piece of tape over the sensor and found that it works. The red buttons always stay on regardless of the ambient light conditions, however, during a call the screen will no longer go dark so that your ear, cheek, etc are no longer prevented from inadvertently clicking on anything. Obviously the sensor has a double duty.

Sounds like a great app but just an FYI for the masses in case they missed it... it requires root. May be obvious but I thought I'd mention it. I'm not rooted so... :-(

The brightness of the Flash LEDs on the Rezound has nothing to do with the app you use

or it can also be the fact that on my incredible i had cm7 and had torch which pushed the leds to their limit and made them really hot but i just loved that flashlight helped out when i needed to look for something in the dark
again, as a.mcdear pointed out - this is a 100% hardware capability thing. while some software might not set the same brightness levels in settings, the limits are the limits of the hardware.

yes i know but i took out the leds out of my broken rezound i have a second one that i bought retail for not getting insurance never again and connected to a 3.5 volt connector and was significantly brighter so i know it can be forced to be brighter!

Sure, and you can hook them up to a car battery and they will explode, but that does not mean that another app can miraculously cause the hardware to deliver more power to the Flash LEDs. The fact is that the torch setting on any app is probably already using the maximum brightness that the hardware is capable of.
Snowman is not making things up. The nexus torch on the Incredible would overpower both LEDs at once for a crazy bright light. When I would run non-CM7 ROMs on my Incredible, I always looked for an alternative app that did the same thing, but never could. Most could only run one of the two LEDs. If they could light both at once, they were not overpowered.

Try something for me then say again that the hardware limits the brightness.
Enter a dark room and turn on any of the available flashlight apps. Then, turn it off and take a picture with flash on. No comparison.

Yes I know all of the apps are the same but that torch one on cm7 is just the best and brightest I think they force the LEDs on the phone to go brighter because they do get hot

Yeah the torch app on the incredible was so bright that every time you turn it on it had a warning popup saying not to leave it on long because it would melt **** lol
No offense, but if having a bright flashlight is really this important to you, why not just get an actual flashlight?
Otherwise, if you're in a pinch and just need a quick light, the rezound is definitely bright enough for illuminating a dark area (like putting your keys in the car door in an unlit parking lot)
I still have my incredible (gf uses it actually) so I know how bright that app is.
What I was saying is that the rezound is clearly capable of the same bright flashlight as the incredible. The incredible one turns on the leds as if to flash while taking a picture but keeps the lights on. I see no reason why the rezound could not do the same. Now do I know how to get that working at the moment - no. But I'm interested enough to do some research and I'll post what I find.

Notification light limitations?

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

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...
