"The status light (to the right of the earpiece) and the Trackball change colors, flash, or glow briefly to inform you of the charging status of the phone and other important information.
I was hopeful "other important information" meant it would work as the primary notification.. Many users rely on changing status lights on the other devices, and this could be a blow to some of them who want to move to the N1. Like buying a high end car and realizing it doesnt have a rear view mirror :-). I guess no one who dogfooded this one ever needed the traditional notification lights.. The pulsing trackball is NOT a step ahead if you know what i mean, its a really nice thing, but not at the expense of the original LED notification scheme. -g On Jan 10, 11:39 pm, String <[email protected]> wrote: > Looks to me like the LED on top is purely to indicate charge status, > while notifications come through the trackball > light:http://www.google.com/support/android/bin/static.py?page=guide.cs&gui... > > IOW, it's not a bug, it's a feature. > > String > > PS: *Still* waiting for a 2.1 SDK... > > On Jan 11, 1:32 am, nexbug <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > Users reporting that the notification lights are not working as on > > earlier devices(let alone LED color customization).
