Bluetooth makes the left light on the blueangel come up blue, wifi makes the left light come up light green. Cellular service makes the right light light green, and when charing makes it dark orange, and when fully charged it turns green. I'm wondering if anyone knew about a little hack that could make the cellular service light "blue" like the bluetooth light. I know it has to be possible... somehow.... ;-)

sure... grab a couple of torx screwdrivers. take the phone appart, unsolder the blue led from the left and graft it back onto the right... presto :D

Question is... have you got the minerals to pull your phone to pieces :?:
The bigger question is are you crazy enough to take a soldering iron to it :?: :shock:

id think twice... if not three time about it

It's not a very big issue to do such a thing to your phone. I've known people who can take a CPU off a notebook mainboard and afterward put another CPU to that place correctly, all by soldering (by hand, of couse). Can you count how many "legs" the CPU has, and to solder those legs to the mainboard?

No no no, the right service light can make all sorts of colors, I'm just wondering if the other can do the same. Since they are the same lights if I switched them I wouldn't notice a difference because the bluetooth (blue) light can come out Green like the signal light when using wifi, etc.

No i dont think they can produce the same colours. your best chance is to unsolder them and reverse them... or... find somebody that can sell you a replacement with the colours you want. if you do find someone... let me know id be interested!

The Right LED is Tri-Colour and uses Red and Green as its two base colours (Giving Yellow when both on as the third colour). The Left LED uses Blue and Green as it's two base colours but I have never seen them both on a the same time (Which would produce a Cyan colour).

The two LED's are different types containing internally two coloured LED's and the left cannot produce Red and similarly the right cannot produce Blue.

It may be possible to hack when the LED's are illuminated by writing two wrapper DLL's for the BWLEDMgr.dll and the NLEDMgr.dll but this will take some time (I am hoping to get round to this as I am peed off with the right one flashing at night but still need it to indicate missed calls etc)

Did anyone manage to turn off the lights?

EDIT: This is how to turn off the lights: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18861&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=flashing+light&start=25
