Is there a light around the trackpad?

I watched a youtube video on a review of the g2. He was claiming there was a light around the trackpad that lights up say when you get a call, or a notifing you have a miss text etc etc. I couldn't find an option for this or havn't seen it light up either. Anyone?

Yes. There is a light around the track pad. It flashed for me when I received a text.

Yeah I take that back. Just text myself and saw it, but is there any options/settings we can do? For example to flash rapid, slow, etc etc.

From what I've found, there are no settings for that. I would also like to be able to configure it. And they should have made it more than just white

Yeah would of been nice to have different colors for different notifications. I feel like it flashes to slow for me also. Maybe there will be an app for it. Use to have the BB9700 long time ago. That had an app you can fully customize the Led. Colors, speed, notifications etc.

Yes, there is a light.
I was able to set the color through TouchDown.

What is Touchdown?

I guess touchdown is a 20$ email exchange app?
Are you positive the colors work? Can you take a pic of the trackpad lighting up some color other than white?
The app Blink which is ment to control the color and flash rate does not work for me

i thought blink was only for like the g1 and mytouch?

You may be right. I just wish they'd have included this in the phone settings.
I hope its capable of RGB, but I have a feeling that its just a white led. Idk.

LED is there, however only in white. Check out LED Tester free in the market. Works, but no matter what color you pick it's always white.

[Q] DHD Flashlight as a reading light.

Hey peeps!
Question First: Has anyone else found a LED flashlight app that works well on the DHD or Inspire that can dim the LED right down?
I want to use the LED on the back as a reading light so I don't have to drain the battery by using the screen but its simply too bright.
I am running an Inspire 4G on Revo HD 6.3.1. The stock flashlight app works well with the 3 levels avaliable and I don't want to kill the LEDs by over running them.
There are tonnes of flashlight apps out there, some using the led and some not. The ones I have researched either don't have a brightness adjustment on the LED or attempt to burn a hole in a sheet of paper.
The only app that I have found which relates to this is call "Reading Light" and is just an adjustable brightness grey screen.
If this has been discussed before please let me know and i'll request this thread be closed. I couldn't find anything regarding this aspect of the topic.
Regards,
Akida

I don't think this has come up before. Its a good request. I'd be interested in something like this.

Bump for confirmation of possibility please!
Btw .. how often am I allowed to bump? I couldn't find it in the forum rules.

CM 7.1 has a application called Torch which has two light levels. The dim one seems like it would be perfect for reading (it only uses 1 of the 2 flash LEDs). The bright level is insanely bright (much brighter than the Sense flashlight app).
There is an app on the market called Torch, but I don't think its the same one that comes with CM 7.1.

Hey that sounds like its worth a shot. Has anyone extracted the app from CM 7.1? I'm going to ask them for permission anyway.
Thanks for the info.

(Q) LED notifications

Hey guys,
Despite the poor placement of the LED light on the Arc, is there any build.prop tweaks or apps ( compatible with ICS preferebly) that make the LED light work/persist for notifications? I have a feeling that it does work but then turns off as soon as the screen turns on but that is rather pointless ( not sure about this)
Thank you guys.

That's how Google intend it to be since 2.1. Unfortunately I haven't seen or come up with any solutions yet..

hope this helps

Looking for HTC like flashlight app

Looking for a flashlight app I can toggle the brightness ... similar to the HTC flashlight app..
I've tried and looked at many in the market..all seem to have just on and off.
Thanks..

Well there is a flashlight app built into the stock touchwiz rom called assistive light. Go to Widgets and it should be in there.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

He is looking for one that has "Different Levels" of brightness the Assistive Light is just on or off.

HTC had some nice stuff.. Flash Light etc..

I have a modded htc flash light app I made for phones with larger screens. All I need to do is port it for the s3. I'll work on it.

While it doesn't have brightness (Which I think only worked because of the dual LEDs on my OG evo) there is a great flashlight app in the market called "TeslaLED".
Not only is it a standard on/off flashlight, but it has several other modes:
Strobe Light with adjustable timing
Hold to Light option (Hold the screen to turn on light, let go to turn off)
Send Morse Code (with or without sound). Just type a message and the light will flash correctly.
Non-LED flashlight (uses screen itself to illuminate)
Police-mode (fun little red/blue flashing screen to mimic police lights).
and a few other modes...
It also integrates well with many other apps (WidgetLocker, Notification Toggle, etc..)
Again, it doesn't have a brightness setting, but it has EVERYTHING else you might need

Motorola Droid light also works in GS3

LED Control (sort-of)

I am On paranoid 2.99 and i didnt like the way that the led would blink in Deep orange for low battery and Notification so i was trying a few LED control apps .. and Found:
Light Flow Lite - LED Control : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflowlite&hl=en
this works Partially . i could set my SMS notifications to Green .. and this supports 3 Colors only on our device .. Dark Orange , orange (kinda yellow) and Green
just thought it will be useful for people to know ..

be careful when using such apps. it MIGHT screw your phone.

Yup ! .. just Make a NAND backup just to be safe ! I made a backup ! .... the app is working fine for me ! .

Yeah I had actually used this app in the past and the led goes out of control, especially if you set it to green/ and /or other colors..
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app

i'm running aokp but i installed the app yesterday and found that this doesn't work at all. It can only change the color of the first flicker and still shows the led light even if you turn it off. useless.

I can change the colors of the LED from the source files - there is actually a Java file that controls the LED and it is commented -
This device has only 3 LED colors. Do not try to parse any other colors.

So basically we can't play with them even if we want to .
