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.)

No way we can know unless a kernel dev takes a look at the source.

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.

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

there is some bleeding yes but that would have to be modified by whoever will make custom kernels
I notice this too, I think its just because of the similar color of led and face color. I'm sure its not as noticeable on the carbon blue. Slight side effect of such a great color.

If you think that's bad you should see the white skyrocket. Now that was bright. Gnote is no where near as bright as the skyrocket. I think the skyrocket uses some kind of LED lighting which if you can get pass how bright it is, it looks a lot better.

I actually noticed them in the AT&T store. I figured it was a Samsung issue. I just turned off the lights. Don't really need them anyways.
This is a problem? Really??? Not trying to be an A-hole but I didn't notice it at all. The Beast needs bright lights! lol

Use Wallpaper Wizardrii from the market. There is an option on the set screen to set a solid color. That's what I have right now on my screen.

This ^^^ is true. LCD screens use power anyway, no matter what color is displayed. LED, however, will save power because it only uses power to display colors, and black is not a color on LED, it's just off.
Yeah, not gonna save battery.
It might, maybe, kinda, make a difference in a totally imperceptible way on an AMOLED display.

False?
LED screens are currently just LCD screens with LED backlights. They work the same.
Plasma displays use no power showing black along with OLED.
I think you are mixing up LED and OLED.

LCD uses more power with a black wallpaper because it has to force it black. White will save battery
Try this don't think its going to help with battery though as the lights will still be on behind the image. Might save a little memory though as the images are very small.
So many different opinions in if it helps or not lol

No...LED and OLED are two very different screens.
LED is an LCD screen backlit by LED lights.
OLED is a printed organic material that created its own light.
Then there is sonys crystal LED which will have LED bulbs for everypixel and won't use an LCD panel. Each LED contains red/blue/green subpixels.

LOL, this is perfect.
I just made a 10 x 10 black image with Paint.net, and saved it to my SD card. Theoretically, I just saved like 0.05 megs of RAM or something.
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.

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).

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.

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...
