How Do I Turn Off The Light That Goes Around The D-pad

So on my TP There is this light that runs in a circle every so often around the circle....

Im thinking shutting it off may give me some more battery life, which I most desperately need....

Any ideas?????

Thanks!

Nope there is no option to turn off the light under sounds and notifications...

Just a thought, but does nueLED not work with this? I actually like it since it's not intrusive, so I won't be trying it out...

Turning it off won't give you much additional battery life. The tiny LEDs in there don't need that much power.

Have you looked at getting a higher capacity battery?

Hear me out!!!!!!!, the instruction below is how to activate the led lights, so you need to do the opposite

If you have TF3DConfig 0.6.7 Installed:
1. drop the attached tweaks.xml file into Program Files/Diamond TF3D Config/
2. Open Diamond TF3D Config
3. Open the "Tweaks" Tab and check the bottom four options
If you do not have TF3DConfig 0.6.7 installed, you can change the following registry settings:
Text message LED:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D65B-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}\
AvailableOptions change from 11 to 0
Email LED
HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D65A-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}\
AvailableOptions change from 11 to 0
Voicemail LED
HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D661-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}\
AvailableOptions change from 11 to 0
Missed Call LED
HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D660-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}\
AvailableOptions change from 11 to 0

The battery life you would save is minuscule. Leaving the normal screen on for a minute would likely equal the LED circling around for a whole day, if not more.

Anyway the LED is circling because you have a missed call,text, new mail, etc as the others have said. If no notifications exist the ring will be dark.
