Stop Blinking Bluetooth Indicator

[drocque]

Anyone know where in the registry can I turn off the blinking bluetooth indicator. Not really a big deal until I'm driving in my car at night - it's like a cop is behind me!!! And bright too!!

Just to summarize: you can disable it, but only by disabling all the LED notifications - including WiFi, Radio and Power.

ZeBoxx: there is another less invasive way, but I've had no time to finish the app. But allledmgr will do the job for most purposes...

you're working on way too much at the same time, vijay ;) It leaves you with many unfinished projects, and a lot of posts going "maybe vijay will write it for me" :>
Not that I'm one to talk.. *eyes that darn colorpicker*

[vijay555]

Damn, forgot about the color picker. VJCandela's "GUI" wore me out. Working on something very very non GUI right now :)

haha, good! I really can't find time to work on that da*n thing :\

hmmm.... my cingular 8125 has no such key under Builtin. So, I added the key "AllLEDMgr" and made a DWORD value named "Index" inside it which I set to 0. Soft resetting had no affect on the LEDs.

Interestingly, I can't delete the key "AllLEDMgr" now as it's marked in use.

Sleuth255: dump your registry (and also your rom if you're feeling generous) and send it over to sleuth @ vijay555.com and I'll have a look..

I'm using the Wizard with norwegian ROM, and I don't have this registry key either. Does anyone know why, and how I can tweak the LEDs?

[lozzd]

De-solder the LED or if you're not that adventurous, put a little bit of electrical/insulation tape over the LED ;)

[pborthwick]

This should work, but it's not exactly the solution I was looking for....

[ZeBoxx]

put a little bit of electrical/insulation tape over the LED ;)
that'll block the green wifi one, too, though! What you really need is a bit of green gaffer tape; that should block practically all of the blue but leave the green coming through ;)

[pborthwick]

Ok, I tried the green gaffer tape, but it didn't look too good. I'm going to try the soldering solution now, and probably solder inn an extra CPU while I'm in there, just to boost things up. Thanks for the good tips!

[ZeBoxx]

you're welcome!

and remember - use leaded solder. Sure, it's not as good for the environment, but it'll last longer!

It would actually be nice if there were a way to disable the flashing radio LED, but I have motive other than being annoyed by it.

I would like to be notified of new voicemail, appointments, & text messages via LED, however, since I am color blind (technically...I have a "color defect") I can not differentiate between the orange and green flashing LED (although I can see the blue one).

Therefore it would be better to have it off UNLESS there is an alert.

Is it possible that somebody can write something to change this or is it hopeless?
