hey guys, hopefully someone will have some idea about this... I work with alot of guys that have pearls... I have a pearl... I know a bit about the pearl, but this one stumps me...

there is a RM in my company that has a pearl... he was around today, and i got to see his phone when it rang... his trackball flashes in multicolor... blue, red, purple, green, yellow... really cool. he doesnt know how he got it to do that, and I cant figure it out... anyone know?

go into phone options.. there is a trackball setting... set it to on.. and enjoy the show..... welcome to bbforums..

phone \ menu key \ options \ general \ ringtone lighting on

[animal8526]

am I smoking crack? when I go into my settings page, there is no general settings selection or phone settings selection... from the homescreen what are the directions step by step... I'm sorry folks... I am not a retard... I just must be missing something.

going to go try this out right now.... sounds awesome

thanks!

[animal8526]

amen. figured it out. slight eureka... now this is cool.

I hit the green phone key/menu/options/General Options...At the bottom of the screen it says "Ringtone Lighting". I set it from "off" to "Trackball", the only other option. Regardless of the setting, the whole keyboard lights up white. No fun lights. I'm running .42. Any suggestions???

You need a funky ringtone, it'll change colors based on melody/whatever/something.

[animal8526]

here's what i figured out... two things... one, and I am guilty of this constantly... after changing a setting, make sure you hit the back button and save, rather than the end key and going strait to the home screen. two, this will only work if the phone is on a ring profile... if just vibbing, it wont, and if vibe and tone, it wont work till the tone shows up.

Kick-A. Got it. I had the phone on mute so I wouldn't wake up the wife.

[animal8526]

nice, eh? now, all i need is a slicker media player, the ability to sync through wMP seamlessly, and the ability to play WMA files via A2DP profile to a BT stereo headset, and i have my dream phone. too much to ask?

[JokerX]

nice

You must be in the phone program. Press menu key>options then general shows up in a menu. Go to ringtone lighting.

[animal8526]

anyone that is having trouble with this... step by step... from the home screen, press green phone key, then menu key, select options, select general options, select trackball lighting to on, hit back key, save and exit. now, when phone is on a ringer profile, you will have your personal pearl disco.

Like? I've had this setting on since I had the OEM TMO software (now on Telefonica's) and haven't had any issues with the phone at all.
