LED Alerts
Purchase (or check out the 7 day free trial!)
You know when I pay money for software its gotta be good, and LED Alerts is one of the few programs I’ve shelled out cash for… and it’s worth every penny.
This application notifies you of new Text Messages, E-mails, Voice Mail, Missed Calls and Reminders by blinking your phone’s LED one of 7 different (user defined) colors. Its so unobtrusive, yet so informative.
LED Alerts is the perfect quiet way of letting me know if there is anything on my phone that requires my attention. When i’m at work, I dont like my phone playing a sound whenever I get a text or e-mail, and I don’t like it vibrating to alert me either (vibrating can be loud when the phone is on a hard surface) .. with LED Alerts I turn my phone on silent, set it on my desk and can know if there is anything I need to check on just by glancing at it.
LED Alerts is a brilliant must-have product — I can’t believe its not a built in feature on Windows Mobile 6.

I bought this program about 3 months ago, works pretty good. Some minor bugs. If anyone is thinking of getting it, I will explain the bugs. (If needed of course) Like most of you, I am surprised it’s not supported already. There are 6 or 7 colors to assign to whatever you want.

Judge,
I’d like to know what bugs you found — looks like a cool util. Thanks, Mike

I’ve been using it for several weeks now — works great. Like David says, it’s a must-have!

I can’t seem to get to the information on the site, it just has its drop down menu when I click on anything it just sits there. I turned off blocker refreshed page. Any suggestions?

Nocture,
Go to the Qorefunctions.com web site using the above link. In the upper-right portion of that page there is a large section labeled LEDAlerts – you cant miss it. Click on the “More info” button in the LEDAlerts box. This will take you to the order or download page.

Does the light stay on until you check whatever the alert is for? or Does it just flash a few times and stop?
August 3rd, 2008 at 9:15 pm
priscilla,
You can set it up to do either.

First, you ROCK. I am not only new to a Blackjack, but new to anything besides a cell phone!
Second, I have already implemented several of your awesome hacks. Like your recommend on this LED notification program. However, after downloading, when I go to run it, I get this notice:
“‘SetupLEDAlerts’ is not a valid Windows CE application”
Any thoughts as to why and the solution?
thank you.

Never mind. I downloaded the wrong file (didn’t download the CAB file). Should have taken my Ritilan.

Chad,
Hrm — sound like you downloaded the PC Installer (which you run on your PC and connect to your phone via ActiveSync) .. Try downloading the CAB file installer… Here is the link to the CAB file for the 7 Day free trial:

I installed the trial but I only show one color option which is green. I didn’t really care about the colors anyway justu as long as I knew there was something knew to look at so green across the board would work ok for me. Now for the test. I sent myself an e-mail and instead of the anticipated light my phone started vibrating and would not stop. I had to pull the battery to get it to stop. So there are bugs with this software.
August 23rd, 2008 at 6:22 pm
Woooo Hoooo, just what I needed, thanks!
August 24th, 2008 at 6:40 pm
The bug I have is the phone requires a reboot once or more a week to get the program to work again. Author does not post the version number on website. I asked if there was a new version to fix the issue and I was told there are no version numbers and just reboot your phone once a week. I stated this was a un-acceptable answer for a paid program. I never heard back. Program is good when it works, but don’t expect support or new versions.
August 24th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
I see there is a posted date. I installed the demo and maybe this new version will fix my issue. If I was told, I am working on a new version with a ETA or no ETA, please check the website for file posting date, I would have had a more positive comment above. I hope this newer version works without reboots!

This is a must have, I never thought about owning this device until David( THE SITE OWNER ) insisted I have it, well now that I have it, its definitely my most used application by far! One little downside is that it will always appear in the task manager….but seriously you will get used to it and its advantages are greater then its disadvantages
Thanks dave, very appreciated, I’m keeping the forums maintained.

Anyone else having problems with it working correctly after upgrading toWM6.1?
I find that the alerts shut off very quickly after upgrading, which kind of stinks considering i purchased it about 2 weeks ago when I still had WM6.0.
Anyone else having issues? David?
September 14th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
With the upgrade to WM 6.1, I noticed that LED Alerts is no longer listed in the Task Manager as a process. I do find it listed in the Processes view as LEDsvc.exe. The memory footprint also appears to be constant at 68.0K.
Have not seen any issues as of yet in regards to it ending quickly. In fact, after reinstalling/activating this application on my WM 6.1 OS, I have yet to see the process end. It has worked without a hitch so far.

Wruckus,
Im not sure – i reached out to Qorefunctions support to see if they have a solutions for us. when/if i get an answer ill post back here.
October 7th, 2008 at 11:31 pm
Realized today that I never reset my duration to indefinite after the upgrade. haha
wow I feel dumb.
October 28th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
To Wruckus: I also have the 6.1 upgrade and I am thinking of adding this app. My only concern is that I want it to work perfectly since I am paying for it….How long has it ran on your phone without any problems?
November 25th, 2008 at 1:29 am
fyi – you can turn LED Alerts off in WM6.1 by running the LED Alerts settings program from the Start menu.
January 5th, 2009 at 10:20 am
can someone tell me where to find the device owner name? i’m pretty sure i entered the wrong thing and i think i’m going to have to buy it again since the website says it has to be the exact same as what’s on the phone and what i submitted and they won’t issue any additional codes.
January 22nd, 2009 at 4:54 pm
I downloaded this and the only color option was green… did I do something wrong? I’m not paying for a single-color alert, so I just let the trial run out.
January 23rd, 2009 at 12:53 am
In the LED Alerts application you should be able to set the LED Alert color for the different notification types. I believe this functionality is available in the trial version ..

anyone got a cracked version? 15 bucks is outrageos.
February 19th, 2009 at 12:41 am
david i just purchased led alerts also and entered everything exactly how it is in my phone settings, i go to enter the activation code and i am told that it is invalid. Is the device description included with the device name? because if so qore functions needs to be more specific, they say just to enter the device name exactly how you entered it on your phone, i took that as and i think most people would as whatever i typed under device name is what i should put on the order form and thats it. When you go to your settings then to device name, it has a field for device name and description. This is very misleading because qore functions makes no mention to the device description being part of your device name.
February 19th, 2009 at 12:45 am
i have the blackjack 2 by the way
February 19th, 2009 at 10:50 am
sleykid – im not 100% sure since I did this awhile back – but i dont think you have to put the device description in. Have you tried contacting Qore regarding this problem? When i did it it was very straightforward
February 19th, 2009 at 11:32 am
david- yes i have tried to contact qore about this problem but i have yet to get a reply since the only way to contact them is by email. If i dont have to include the description, then im at a loss because my device name matches the device name that was sent with the confirmation email when i purchased it. Please if there is anything im missing, let me know. thanks for the help, just wish this app would work.
by the way is there any other way of contacting qore other than email?
February 19th, 2009 at 12:28 pm
david– my led alerts app is now working, i had to inform qore functions that you have to fill out the ‘owner information’ section in your settings not your ‘device name’. So to anyone with the same problem you must put exactly what you put in your owner information(only the name field) when you purchase led alerts thru qorefunctions.
-also do not include hyphens in your owner name because this can cause a problem with the activation code.

this is a really cool program, if only it wasnt 15 bucks. id rather put that money towards a larger sd card
July 23rd, 2009 at 1:45 pm
I paid but didn´t get my code yet. It´s been a week since I paid for activation code.
How long it takes? On qorefunctions.com says it takes 2 days.
