Hi,
The two lights on top of the xda2i.
I know the left one goes blue when bluetooth is active and the right one goes amber when charging and flashes green when active but what do the other colours mean? The one on the right flases red sometimes but I don't have a low battery.
Any ideas?
thanks,
Tom
When it flashes Red it is an indication for something else, such as a Missed Call, New text message, new email, or other such event.
Go into Settings and select "Sounds and Notifications".
Select the "Notifications" tab.
Select any "Event". (such as Phone: Missed Call)
This will include a tick box option that says "Flash light for: ## minutes"
By changing these settings you can customise WHEN the right hand LED flashes and for how long it does, for the relevent events.
This option is not available for every event however, such as a new Activesync connection, as for this, there is not much point in it flashing.
Hope this helps,
Dazzer.
The left LED also flashes green when you have a Wireless Network connection
excellent, i had never seen the flash light bit before. thanks guys

I'm trying to figure out why red led keeps blinking even I dismiss reminder. If I understand correctly alert led should stop blinking when I take care of whatever made it.
I've noticed that when I delete text message while ring tone is active it does not stop red led but when I wait for end of it- everything is fine.
I don't want to set short period of blinking in alert settings.
i used have problem like that, but after i install ROM newest ROM the problem gone. :wink:
Happens to me from time to time, seems to happen when I just dismiss a reminder the 'wrong' way (just hitting the hang up button instead of hitting Dismiss... although even when I do that it still does it sometimes). Its behaviour seems to be affected if I also have an unread text message in my inbox, or if I'm in a call when the reminder pops up... There's x amount of circumstances where it just doesn't go away (and it pisses me off no end, I don't like red blinking lights as they're invariably bringers of bad news! )
"Flash light for X minutes" in the Notification setting, what does it do?
I have it set to 15 minutes in the Phone Missed Call, but I dont see anything different. When I got missed call, the phone wake up (LCD turned on), got the missed call icon, and that's it.
Anyone can explain?
Thanks.
It's supposed to flash the amber power light for the allotted time.
Hi
The LED options in Windows Mobile don't seem to work as they are overwritten by what HTC think should flash.
I wrote a program to make things better, see: http://www.modaco.com/downloads-file2400.html

The phone is continuously blinking that I have a new sms!
I restarted, same thing!
I went through each and every sms in my inbox/email folders so that if one was "new" it would be read since I entered it.
Still blinking, so I uninstalled it, restarted and re-installed it. Still blinking!!
I then uninstalled it, restarted, installed it this time on my storage card, restarted and same! Still damn blinking.
I even turned off all light notifications and restarted, then enabled blinking, still blinking! I even changed lights but still blinked green and blue!
Wheres the malfunction?
thanks
Green blinks are normal for me, seem to mean the phone is on. And blue blinks means Bluetooth is on. This can be changed to some extent with a program, but I don't recommend it because the initial version of the program strangely doesn't allow setting the blue blink as an indicator of Bluetooth being on, which is SUCH a weird thing, since it's the default not only for this phone but pretty much for all phones with Bluetooth capability.

You are not familiar with this app called Kaiser Notification by Phil Lee.
It allows you to disable lights and then enable lights for different notifications.
So you can set it to blink green (right lamp) for new sms and blue for new email or vice versa.
You can have it blink amber for bluetooth on, red for missed call and green for phone in service.
Or you can turn off all blinking notifications.
Mine is blinking blue even though I have no new sms.
Hi
This problem has been reported before although I've never seen it. What seems to happen is Windows Mobile gets out of sync with the count of unread messages. The program itself just looks at these counts so if it is told by Windows Mobile there are 'x' unread messages it sets the LED flashing.
A fix is discussed here which requires using a registry editor to reset the counts. I'm working a newer version with some extra features and will look to change the code to either include this fix or to keep count of messages itself rather than use the Windows Mobile reported counts.
Hope the above helps.
Regards
Phil
Hi Phil,
Thanks for taking the time to create such a great app and the time to respond to errors. I checked the thread you referred to and it is literally exactly what im going through,e xcept I havent edited the registry yet.
Thanks again!
Hi
I just received mine today, I was so consumed by messing around with settings and all programs that I just found that only one led is working on my phone - orange one during charging. Do you have the same? No notification about wifi/bluetooth/whatever during normal usage and it seams to me this model has 2 leds around front speaker. Do I have damaged phone, is it default behaviour or maybe I need to turn somehow those notifications??
There is only one on the D2. It's on the left. The right side is a light sensor to automatically adjust the screen brightness.
For notifications to show (flash green), go to settings/sounds and notifications and tick 'flash light' under email, mms, etc.
Thank you WMguy you saved my day
I experienced the same panic till i read the manual! But I really miss the "in service" flashing green light. It's useful as a quick check that the phone's in range and WM hasn't frozen and switched off as my last phone sometimes did.
I've already searched unsuccessfully, but if anyone knows a simple app to turn the one LED into a "in service" light I'd be grateful.
I am looking for a way to configure the LED on my Kaiser, so that p.ex. on a missed call, a new sms/mms or email, the LED flashes differently, in a different color or stays light.
Have tried nueLED which should do that and much more, but without results.
Any thoughts on how to achieve the LED config?
Thanks and rgds

Good luck removing nueLED, it's been stuck on my device since I installed it long ago... Blergh..
KaiserNotification is another one which modifies the LED behavior, but it doesn't change the inherent behavior of the lights, only allows you to modify which lights show..
Such as I don't want the stupid "signal" or "GPS", or "Bluetooth" lights so I disable those. I set missed calls to Red, Missed SMS/MMS to blue, unread emails to Green.
One caveat is that you no longer see charging/charged lights.. I dunno if there's some way around this, but it's not a huge deal for me.
