Sleep is the default state, so no need for a status indicator. Wrong! Sleep may be the default state but I definitely want to see whether it's really in that

Wrong!
Sleep may be the default state but I definitely want to see whether it's really in that state - or in some other.
I hate this kind of wishful thinking from hardware designers.
It's the same mindset that removed the status LED from the Samsung Galaxy S. A status LED that exists on almost every other android handset and that is very useful for indicating missed calls, low battery and many other things (it's freely programmable).
Congrats Samsung and Apple, you saved on a $0.20 part - but in the wrong place.
- chrisbroadfoot 16y agoAgreed. But, AMOLED gives some nice opportunity here. Try NoLED: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730692 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730692
- moe 16y agoNoLED is a neat hack, but not a substitute for a built-in, reliable notification mechanism.
