Hi everybody,

ich searched the forum up and down, and i couldnt find, what the green LED blinking on the t68i means, and what i can do to switch it off. I received my new handy yesterday and i am not so familiar with the phone yet...

Thanx in advance,

Bond

You cant turn it off?

But it is annoying. What if you want to hav it next to your bed at night and want to sleep?

I think, this is the only serious drawback i encountered until now!

Man, you are kidding...
It must be possible to turn this thing off! why dont they use it to indicate there was a call or something?

Maybe, i use a little silverpaint?

..it turns off when you turn the phone off.

All ericssons have had this, it's not just a t68i thing.

you could always just turn the phone away from you....problem solved.

yes, of course, but i think this is a psychological problem. When somethink blinks, i imply that this device tries to tell me something. Something happened, or something is wrong or so.

So there is no such a thing like a firmwarehack or whatever to use the LED in a different way?

Just buy a new faceplate and decide which casing you want, ask the technician to have the bulb busted. keep the other faceplate, just in case u want that light back ;-)

Whatever you do, dont do what mailliw_17 suggested.
The led is not part of the face plate, it is part of the circuit board.

Maybe its just me but i really like the LED's of the t68i as it really adds character to the phone and its one thing i would probably miss when i shift to a t610.:-)
