Is it possible to disable the notification LED at night. The phone sits on my bedside table and charges so the light is annoying.
I have root so if there is an app that works to control it, that'll do
Thanks
Turn the phone upside down Actually works quite well.

Amazingly enough, I had thought of that but I sit it in a holder with the clock displayed and screen dimmed so I'd like a way to disable it, ideally with Tasker.

Is there any program or other way do turn off the screen LEDs for example when docked at night? LEDs Hack from the market has an option for Hero with Froyo. Have tried that and it works except the row of LEDs with the home menu back and search buttons. I emailed the developer, but didnt know if anyone here had any solutions. I'm running KF v35 btw.
sorry double post
Why don't you just turn the face of the phone down? That's what I do and the lights don't bother me anymore. The speaker for the alarm is on the back of the phone anyway.

That's what I do now, but I was looking at replacing my clock on my bedside table with a dock that would hold the phone upright so I could see the time. I can keep the display on, but wanted the bright lights on the front off. With the program I mentioned, I can turn off all LEDs except the white ones behind the keys mentioned.

Oh. I didn't quite understand what you were trying to do. I'll look into it and see what I can find.

I was trying to use this app with some success. I tried all the different phones. One of the first times I tried it, the LEDs all went out and would not come back on. Did a reboot and dalvk wipe which restored the LEDs. The Hero version can stop all LEDs except the leds i mentioned. Thanks for the help.\

please post if you find a solution, i have the same desire...
Still haven't heard back from the developer. I will let you know if i can find something else online.
also found this program: http://www.andbot.com/apps/tools/simple-led-toggle/com.squakmt.SimpleLedToggle but it states it will not work on verizon droid phones. :-(
my workaround. I can use http://www.androlib.com/android.application.net-geekherd-softbuttonshack-wmjD.aspx to turn off the leds except the lights as mentioned above. under settings->cm->userinterface->auto backlight->use custom to "on" ->edit other levels set all of the buttons column to "0". This will turn off the front lights i was referring to whenever the brightness is set to auto. I use the powercontrol widget and set brightness to auto when I want to have the lights off and to low when I want the brightness down but front lights on. It would be awesome to have an app like a toggle to turn the leds off combining the leds hack and the cm setting. unfortunately, i can only write code in html and some flash and java and even those skills are getting rusty...lol.
edit: with the program listed above, phone set to sprint hero, top led, bottom led, and trackball leds selected the leds will all go out. however, the trackball will not blink with this setting. when option to turn leds on is selected, the leds come on as they should after a few minutes.
I say save your $25 and prop that mofo up, with a sock or something covering the bottom lights.

Well, the program is free, but my dock was about $25 and broke after the first day. Lets hear it for poorly made parts. I contacted the seller through amazon. We shall see what happens.
Does the SGSII have a dock mode that gets enabled when docked?
i.e. Can the phone open an app/the dock mode which includes a clock?
Further to this, can the clock then be dimmed whilst on the dock so that it isn't insanely bright at night time?
I use Kaloer Clock to do this very thing, it can be dimmed right down and set to auto-start when connected to AC.

Thanks for the tip. I presume it doesn't/can't inhibit the fully charged screen illumination can it?
I'll be honest I haven't noticed; I have mine set to auto silence at night so I don't hear the fully charged notification.
I like having the notification LED. I've customized it with Light Flow and it works great. The only issue is that the LED doesn't do anything when the screen is on. Is there any way to get the notification LED to work when the screen is on?
Might I ask why you need it on constantly? Is it just for looks?

Yes there is, and your half way there. In LightFlow, general settings, check compatibility mode, check run as root. The light will stay on now even when the screen is on. The trade off is you only have 3 colors now.
I don't want it on constantly. I just always want it to blink when I get an Call/SMS/email, even when the screen is on.
And thanks for the info, WiredPirate. I guess I can take away the Battery Charge colors so I just have SMS, Gmail, and Missed Call.
Okay, now I have a new issue. The Compatibility Mode Light Flow notifications work just how I want them to...until the phone is plugged in. When the phone is on the charger, the notification LED ignores Light Flow and reverts to the default notification colors (green for charging, white for missed call, cyan for SMS, and yellow for Gmail). Is there any way to get Light Flow to take over when the phone is plugged in? Or am I out of luck here?
And now I'm confused. So, disregarding Light Flow, the Atrix's notification LED only works when the phone is plugged in and charging? That's stupid.
Should the 4 bottom lights turn off eventually? I just never really paid attention on my other phones but if they dont turn off eventually its really annoying like watching a movie they stay on its just bugging me. I love the phone and just wondering if they do shut off eventually or do they stay on all the time
They normally have to shut off im pretty sure correct me if im wrong and for the moment flip the phone lol

Nothing some electrical tape can't fix.
But on the real well need root and hopefully the led hack app will work.

Oh my god. Thank you for this. It works great with tasker. I have it set so that when I plug my phone in, tasker gives me 3 options. One is night mode. When I select that all my volumes but alarm turn way down and it turns Tue brightness down, but with the 3D it didn't seem dim enough, especially with the capacitive buttons beaming like lasers. But now it also starts screen filter at 45 percent and turns the buttons off. Also made is so when I launch certain games and all movies it'll turn off the buttons automatically. So helpful!

is this possible? and if so, how? i've tried a few apps from the market, but they didn't seem to work
Why? Do you hate your phone so much, you need a quick way to burn in the screen?
Actually, while it's in my car dock and I'm using google maps, or any music, it's hard to see the screen after it dims, esp. when driving with my convertible top down in the daytime.

Have you tried STAYAWAKE? Keeps screen on while plugged in to any source that charges.
the screen stays on already... but it still dims until i touch the screen again.
Use Tasker - it's more complicated than most apps, but it gives you tons more control over your phone too.
Just remember to both turn off auto-dim as well as turn your brightness up for the "plugged in" event or it won't work properly if you use tasker!
I have a setting for plugged and unplugged, as well as at home (in range of my wireless SSID) and away. So my GPS turns on when plugged in and away, but not plugged in at home. But my display is set up the way you want as well - and mine increases the display timeout too.
