LED in Earpice

[sectorlord]

I almost trade in my cruise, but I noticed that the LED on the earpice does not blink..we tried to plug the charger, does not turn orange or green..so I back out..the store dont want me to open a second one.

I saw a guy buying in Fortress (in HK, it's been here since last Friday), and it does not blink as well... well but it really looks like a LED on it..

looking for the brochures.....to check

Sure it's not just the light sensor?

[someone1234]

It probably is, the scroll weel thing seems to do all the blinking.

[Lord Buckingham]

its definitely a light sensor :-)

Yes it’s a light sensor. I mentioned this in an earlier thread. It allows the backlight to adjust automatically to its surroundings.

Sorry evryone..just got mine...

It is the light sensor...too much on my Cruise...

ok, so there is no led on the diamond? that s not common for an htc, and that s not very convenient to know if you missed some calls or if your device if fully charged etc

Lol there is an array of lights around the directional control. It lights up veyr nicely, and much more noticeably than the tiny LEDs on previous HTC devices. It glows with a slow pulsating when charging, and flashes when there is a missed call or SMS (according to your preference settings).

"It glows with a slow pulsating when charging" and when charging is over it stops pulsating or is a solid light ?

yes, solid light when fully charged

It's smarter and it blends in very nicely with the look of the phone.
Very nice at night when the phone is being charged in the dark :)

oh boy, i love this one, it looks like it inhales the energy. It's alive!!!

[webvan]

Let's be careful, it could be HAL !

[alexandruene]

And how u know if the phone is still on ?Is there no option to make the joistick blink while in standby?????

[mengsuan]

Pull out the stylus. If it's on, the screen will turn on. :P

especially for the color blind folks like me. i could never determine whether my device is fully charged without turning on.

thanks to htc, i can do that now...
