Hello!
Maybe i am asking a silly question. Is there a way to make the green led blinking while the phone is sleeping? Because sometimes i do not know if the phone is turned off or just sleeping.
The second question: is there a camera mod for an unrotted Evo 3d, running ICS, ( i am interested in uncompressed pix and vids feature)? I just wanna know if there is such a mod, because the camera is also 3D, and such a mod may break this interesting feature.
Thank you

I don't think so. If there was, you would have to be rooted. Cant you just hit the power button to see if it's on?

The program Tasker (among other things) has the ability to control the led. So you could set a profile to blink the led when the screen is off. I would think this would decrease battery, but it will do what you wish.

I am coming from the Droid 1 were I was able to setup different colored LED notifications based on different events. When I switched over to the Thunderbolt I can't seem to get those same options. Does the TB only have two LEDs?
For example, in Handcent I was able to set a different color LED depending on who sent me a text, now when I try to set that option it will not open the color selector. Same goes for TouchDown Exchange, I cannot customize the color of the LED.
Thank you.
I am also wondering about this feature. I know its been covered but I'm on my phone and don't feel like looking. But I think it has something to do with htc software or something like that

The only options are orange and green sorry.

Is that a software or hardware limitation?

I personally liked being able to set a different LED color for my txt messages, made it easy to see if I had something waiting when My volume is off at work.
Minor detail though, that I barely miss now. I can just turn off the led notification for anything else, has the same effect. It's almost invisible behind the speaker cover though, the led on the TB is really only useful for determining when it is fully charged IMO.
I went from the droid to the fascinate and had no LED. Now I went from the fascinate to the thunderbolt, and I'm very happy to have any led.

quick question about the LED's guys... sometimes i look at my phone and no lights are blinking but then i look and i have new texts. i havent changed any settings regarding led lights or downloaded any apps to change them. are they suppposed to stop blinking after a while or is something wrong? i remember on my old droid one they would keep blinking untill i checked it, but then again that was a motorola phone... thanks in advance
Is there a way to set the length of time the notification light will blink for? My phone will give me the notification light but then it turns off after a minute or so. So if I leave the room and come back it won't be blinking. It's when I check my phone that I see I have a message.
Is there a setting that I am not seeing? All I see under the settings for led notification are the types of messages you can set it for.
If you use a 3rd party messaging app you can do that

Mine is doing the same thing and it's extremely annoying. It seems to shut off a couple minutes after receiving a new email/text.
this sucks if true. It should blink forever until you clear the notification. OR your batter clicks over into power saving mode and disables the notificaiton light if thats even a possibility.

It doesn't...same problem with the Sensation as well.
I sent HTC an email asking if they plan on fixing the issue. Shutting the LED off after five minutes sorta defeats the purpose of even having one...

Did you ever hear anything back? From searching around, it seems all/most htc phones are doing this. If I didn't want a notification light, I'd get a nexus s 4g .
Try missed reminder from the market. If you have problems with it crashing disable gmail notification in the app.

Where exactly in the settings for handcent allows for keeping the notification light on? I have the same problem of the light turning itself off, and so I downloaded handcent, but all there seems to be is an option to just turn notification blink on/off; no set time. Am I missing something?

Thanks. I've tried several led notification apps and none seem to work 100%. I can't believe htc is making phones with led's that only flash 5 minutes. It pretty much defeats the purpose of a notification light except for those awesome 300 seconds it flashes for you.
How come there aren't more posts or fixes for this?

Yeah, but it was a canned response:
"We appreciate your feedback, we know how important consumer feedback on our products is. We appreciate your suggestions and will use them in our research and development of possible upcoming models. If you have any future comments or concerns about our devices please feel free to contact us. Please feel free to contact us again if you have any further questions."
I got a more specific response, but apparently HTC thinks it should only blink for 5 minutes. I'd be curious how much battery is saves. I have a feeling it isn't much. You think they could just leave it as an option...
htc said:
I understand how important it is for the notification light on your device to flash indefinitely until you dismiss the notification.
Unfortunately, the device will only flash for about 5 minutes and then the LED light will no longer flash until you receive another notification. This is a battery saving feature and cannot be adjusted. I do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

i work in a very loud shop and often go lomg periods of time without knowing i hav recieved a message. i use Missed reminder set to forever and blink time at 2 sec. my battery was still at 75% when i got home from work today. the program used 2% of my battery. worth it to me.
i think making that little led flash uses a lot less power than turning the screen on........
"It's a battery saving feature..." but it will flash the red one indefinitely when the battery is below 15%, when you need every mA of power you can get. Makes a whole ton of sense...

I tried Missed reminder, but had some problems with it or maybe conflicts other apps I had. It would start to only flash once I turned the screen on (which defeats the purpose ). I know the blinking led can't use much power, so their reasoning makes little sense. I'll give Missed reminder another go.
Fine HTC, it burns battery, but at least give me the option of having it flash until I check the notifications. That way, everybody will be happy.
So I just noticed there is a red LED on the phone, However I've only seen it enabled whilst in call (Am I the only one who hasn't noticed it before?) So anyway, I'm curious to weather someone would be willing to go about and help trying to be able to have it on when you have a notification, Or if there already is a mod? Anyway, Thanks
That's a proximity sensor, not led

It's a proximity sensor,this sensor ensures that the screen turns off when you are in a call.
Oh Damn, Dissapointed Would you be able to have it on anyway? But I guess it'd kill the battery?
That Red LED is barely noticeable unless you are in complete dark!

I just bought SSGS2 last week, and i noticed that when i make a call, this the red light will be blinking/flashing. When I compare it to other SSGS2, all of which will have a red light on when make a phone call (not blinking/flashing).
So I was wondering if anyone had the blinking light?
As far as I am concerned, it does not affect usage just yet.
But who knows...it might be a sign of inferior sensor.
Thank you.

Use your phone in the dark, you will see a very dim red glow where the proximity sensor is.
Thank you.
Should it be blinking? or stay on while calling?
Mine is blinking. Those of my friends stay on
can some one please advise, Proximity Sensor should be Blinking/Flashing or solid On when you are on call?
It's blinking for me as well... Why are you guys so paranoid. Is it working? Yes it is.
It blinks extremely quickly, seems like 20 times a second. I can in indoors lighting clearly.

not paranoid mate, just want to find out if this is normal, yes so far this is not affecting performance.
Well my so called proximity sensor "red dot" keeps flickering while in standby/phone locked. I understand it's suppose to be on while on a call etc. but what when the phone is lying idle?
same problem!

I have the exact same problem since yesterday.. have u solved it ? pls help!! it's really annoying
kindly email me if you have method to solve it . [email protected]
I dont know if this is relevant but I've had both the i9100 and the i9100G. On the G variant the blinking of the proximity sensor was pronounced and noticeable.. whereas on the international variant I've never yet noticed it blinking or staying on. Maybe you have the G variant?

If you have Viber, uninstall it! I had that issue few days back. actually I just uninstalled it because it was draining my juice but the then after getting rid of the viber app my proximity sensor was no longer blinking like crazy.
Since I dont use Viber I unistall it.

Has anyone else noticed that the LEDs behind the home and back button are the dimmest of any HTC phone so far ? Next to my regular one, a DNA, and a rezound you can almost barely see them! The display model and the vzw employees all looked the same.
Hoping a software fix is coming ..
Edit- these are the softkeys not hardkeys...

I agree. I know in general where to press for the home and back soft keys so having them light up at all isn't that big of a deal.
+1 prefer the dim leds also....
