The only LED I ever really noticed on my Hima was the blue one telling me BT was on or off. I know the device has a green, yellow and red LED on the opposite side that can either burn or flash, but don't ask me why. Neither do I know if the flashing rate of the blue LED might tell me something.
Last week when my battery was just about 99.9% drained and my Hima started to behave strange, I noticed that on external power the red LED burned constantly. And when I notice something like that, it's probably because I've never seen it before.
http://michael-channon.spaces.live...._c=BlogPart&partqs=cat=Hermes+Charging+Issues helped me out.
But I would love to know the exact meaning of all LED colours and blinking rates.
all the Leds's Rate are in the Book that comes with it
Thanks, but as I told before I bought 2 Hima's with broken screens years ago, under those conditions it's very rare to get anything but the dead device itself.
The service manual only tells me that a fast flashing yellow LED means battery is too warm (>35C) or too cold (<0C) to charge.
hmmz..u r rite..its unpredictable..any way i'll see what i can find
What I can see, it's blinking green on normal operation, lighting yellow on charging, blinking red on missed calls and lighting red on too low voltage...
Mine never blinks green. Lighting green tells me charging reached 100%.
Could blinking green mean GPRS or IR on?
Anyone ever seen blinking yellow?
I hope curiosity only kills cats ;-)
I guessed the lighting red :-(
Mine blinking green when it is in normal operation.
Yellow on charging
Red when there is misscall or message because I set to give LED sign
> Green for normal - with carrier signal operation and Fully charged while still plugged into wallsocket
> Yellow for Charging
> Red - missed calls/poor elec current while being charged/very low battery
@Maggy, there is a tweak on how to permanently disable blinking lite even during normal operation. could it be possible that ur units have are tweaked like such?

Not that I can remember, but I'm tweaking all the time. Aren't we all?

how come on my XDA my colors are
Yellow=Normal Operation
ORANGE=Charging
Red=Low batt
May be your led is expired Yellow and Orange is slighly different, you lose green color I think every body mentioned yellow in here is little bit mix with orange color
Or some of us are more colour blind than others

Hello
I've tried many roms on my HD, non showed the green led blinking on the ON/off button telling the device was on. Nor it was blinking red on notifications. At the end I thought it only showed the red light when charging.
Then, yesterday I upgraded the Hardsplwrapper and whenit finished I had a bautiful green led blinking in normal use.
After that, I have again triad other roms but none now shows the green light anymore.
There is a way to enable this feature? Why normally this light doesnt behave in the right way?
Thanks
Olaf
What do you mean by "right way" ??? In normal use the green LED is NOT blinking! It blinks only when there is an SMS/MMS/MAIL/Missed Call and so on. The Red one lights when charging and the Green lights when charge completed! None of them lights or blinks in normal use!
Ah, I thought that a green led blinking showed the phone was on and receiving signal, like in my old P3600. There it was a red blinking light that showed a notification.
But don't you think that a behaviour like my old phone would be better?
It would be usefull to see rapidly if the phone is on and receiving signal without pushing the on button.
Is there an application or registry mod to change the behaviour of the led?
Thanks
Olaf
My phone have never lost its signal or turned off by itdelf so I know it is turned on It conserves a little power that way not powering the let every few seconds. About the registry I don't know...
I updated my NC to run CM7 off the SD card and whenever I go to charge it the Indicator built into the USB cable never changes to Green when the battery is completely charged. Is always stays the yellow color. Anyone else notice this?
ya same with mine it never changes colour...
For me, sometimes it turns green, other times it doesn't. Seems to charge up OK either way though.
Odd I have CM7 flashed to the emmc and it always turns green when fully charged. Is everyone who's having a problem running off SD?

The green indicator is not tied to the battery percent gauge on the display. It takes a few hours after the 100% reading before the green light goes on...

that doesn't sound too right. it should turn on at 100% immediately right?
and i thought i'm the only one with this problem.

Nope... the green light is tied to a voltage comparator. When the threshold exceeds the predetermined voltage, the light turns green.
The battery gauge is tied to a ADC (analog to digital converter). That's how it determines the percentage power left.
The two are independent. The question was previously addressed:

When I plug my charger into my Nook Color there is a "U" shaped light on the adapter that changes color's depending on what it is doing. For the past 2 months the light is either yellow (meaning it is charging) or Green (meaning it is fully charged) ... this week I started to get a third color RED.
If I jiggle the adapter plug the light will go back to yellow (the charging color).
What does the red color mean ??? and why would it go away if I jiggle the plug ?
Thanks for any insight.

i've never seen red on mine, wonder what that means too.

Well mine never had red until last week. Now I see the big "U" as RED every day.
Anyone else?
It can't charge.
When my cable went red, I had to take it to the store. It might be a defective cable.
It usually means "I'm trying to charge but it isn't working!"
hmm, mine has always had the red. actually it's kind of dark yellow on one end and then blends into a kind of darker orange on the other end.
Just plain green when it's charged.

Ditto. Should it be all orange?
I work with Nook Color displays and red usually means the cable has been stressed and will fail to charge. At that point, I replace it. The connector on the Nook Color cable is fairly fragile and breaks frequently in stores.
Red just means the battery is too low to turn the thing on or extremely low. Yellow means charging. Green is good to go.

O and the U shape is really an n. Like the home button, the nook symbol, an n.

Let's say i get a message at night in my HTC One and when i wake up in the morning the led isn't blinking. It's really annoying.
On my Samsung Galaxy S3 the led was blinking until i read the notification. That way I knew I had message when i woke up without touching the phone.
Is there any fix for this so it blinks all the time and not just for a while like it seems to be doing right now.
I am stock at the moment.
One more annoying thing is that when the phone is charging the led is red all the time. Even if I get a message. In my opinion it should blink green so i know that i have a message.
You care not if it drains the battery, should your notification LED blink ad-infinitum? I would...
Also, I don't understand the premise of why the notification LED should blink (and the phone making a beep) like crazy when the battery reaches below 10%. What the heck is the idea here? Announce that the battery is low by draining it some more?
Have you checked the Notifications subsection in Settings? You can set the notification LED blinks & color, to however many repeats...
there's already a thread that started recently discussing this. You will need root to change the notification timeout.

Today i found out that my LED is affected by temperature. When bellow 21~20°C LED glows red colour and other colors that require red ( white, yellow, purple, red ofc). I used some ice to cool down my phone and when cooled LED works just fine. I monitored temperature with CPU-Z and it turns out it works under 20°C. How is that even possible? Have anyone ever heard of such thing?
