[SOLVED] Flashing Service LED

[Psiodon]

Well I have searched and searched and can not seem to figure out how to disable the service led without disabling all the functions of ALLledmgr. Of course that works but that means vibration and a number of other things. Someone had mentioned the nled reg entry hack tried that no luck. I have looked through countless dlls and files for any reference that might come close to disabling the service led but I just cant seem to find it. So many other phones(cheap phones) let you disable it why cant this one?

I remember back to a simple hex edit on my motorola that could do many things we even had script files that could change the leds colors etc and do crazy things on boot etc(that was linux of course).

So any of you pros out there came across anything that might be related to the service led?

i love the service LED's :D if it werent for them i wouldnt like my TyTN as much .. they really mean that much to me :)

sadly we're not in the good ole' motorola days (that was bliss) but i have the perfect soloution! :

Get a black permanent marker, and colour in the Service LED :)

et voila!! it no longer flashes :D and you still have vibrate, sounds etc ...

LOL :D :D :D

:rolleyes: That´s was a really tip problem solution !! :D

Service LED does not bother me at all. :D

Or gently mash it with a sharp knife or screwdriver. (same solution for that silly light/speaker on cars that warn you to put a seatbelt on)

Maybe I wasnt clear about what I wanted. When I meant service led I meant that it just constantly flashes green to tell you that you have a signal. I want my leds to work, but the way I want them to. I want them to flash when I have a missed call or unread message etc. I just do not want it to constantly flash green in a service area Im always in a service area.

Many of you laugh of course and say it doesnt bother you etc. But I bet that when it is figured out where and how it is access and then being able to customize it change its colors etc, those who laugh will also be among the people using those nifty custom leds(blue for bluetooth,green for message,orange for missed call etc. So try and support the idea instead of laughing at it.

For me seeing that green flash over and over is just a constant reminder of something I can not customize on my super customized phone.

try this out

Wow the attatched file actually worked! Still maintain all other functions with only the service led disabled. Im going to start ripping it apart and see if I can come up with anything new.

Thanks much for finding it, making it, or whatever, hats off to you.

that one was too early. it has a bug when charging. i have a 3.1 version that reads if the charger is on and works better. if you want it let me know.

this 2.1 version is the one i use.

Please do post the 3.1 verison and thanks

[Psiodon]

The first one you posted seems to e 3.0 the second 2.1, ill try it to see whats the difference but 3.0 works fine even when charging except it gives you a flashing orange led instead of constant on led, letting it charge to full and see what happens. Yes please post any versions you have so I can try to see the different modifications they are doing between them.

I can see that it is simply using a mort script to scan the notification que for changes and using the treo exe to make modifications. Im in the process of decompiling the treo exe to see what mods can be made.

My concern here(which may be a retarded one so small) that you have a fight going on with the phone constantly telling it to do one thing and the mortscript and treo exe telling it to do something else. I can see that mortscript is using about 3%cpu cycle every 5 seconds or so. Not sure if that is going to impact battery usage or not, but my end goal would be do away with the fighting and just having the os do what its supposed to do.

I would like to request that anyone who likes or uses this app please stop by thier forums and send a thank you. After reading through all the threads they put alot of time and effort to make it work. And although it was not designed for our phones by chance it works. I have already sent my thank yous and hope more will do the same.

@psiodon: Did you do any "re-work" on it? If yes, could u please attach here so everybody can benefit?

Thanks

No I have not done anything at all since it is already functional, what I am currently looking into is the other three leds that we have and what can done with them. Im also trying to figure out more info on our leds, if they are only tri color, etc and if its possible to get our two green and red phone leds blinking as a notification as well, but I am pretty sure those two leds are controlled together as on or off and probably cannot be controlled individually, time will tell.

Did this work on HTC Artemis (o2 Orbit) too?

Just a quick note of thanks to CodyPPC for the link!

That damned service light has been annoying me for months - I've taken to putting the phone in a draw / turning it upside down to stop the flashing annoying me when trying to get to sleep in an otherwise totally dark room!

This was the 1st site to come up on a google search - and am really impressed - cheers!

I'll send thanks to the devs on the other forum as well.

It looks like you're looking to enhance/fiddle with this further - controlling the LED's in various ways - - have you made any progress? are you in a position to share any code (compiled/source) or tips? I just want to dabble - have no real goal in mind - -- - the main thing is no more flashing green!!! woo!
