i730/i830 Status Light

    StatusLight is a MIDP java application for the Motorola i730/i733/i736/i830. Over the air delivery is currently not available, but if you have either a usb or serial data cable you can download and install it to your phone.

    Click here to download the free trial or purchase the full version.

    StatusLight blinks the external LCD backlight of the i830, and the led around the Motorola Symbol on the i730 in different colors according to the signal strength returned from the phone. There are 6 possible signal strengths from 0 to 5. A signal strength of zero indicates no service.

    The default configuration of the status light has the signal strength colors arranged according to the following

    Signal Strength COLOR
    0 RED - No Service
    1 CYAN
    2 MAGENTA
    3 BLUE
    4 WHITE
    5 GREEN - Full Service



    The full version is customizable to include any combination of the following colors:

    • BLUE
    • CYAN
    • GREEN
    • MAGENTA
    • RED
    • WHITE
    • YELLOW


    You can also set the blink duration, the blink period, and a custom startup message. Last, there is a party setting that is fun for all!


    The application suspends when you receive a call or direct connect, but no worries! Now it will restart by itself 15 seconds after it is paused if the flip is closed. If you want to adjust the volume or use your one touch direct connect, the StatusLight will suspend for 15 secs or until the phone is no longer busy - then it starts right back up.



    There is a user configuration menu where many of the parameters can be customized for a look that is unique.




    Click here to listen to one of the sounds that can be played when the flip is opened. This sound can be toggled on and off for privacy. You can customize the wallpaper by sending new picture over the data cable to the status light easily using SendPhotoGT. The the sounds that are played when the flip is open can be changed using the StatusLightEditor. Both SendPhotoGT and the StatusLightEdior are free java programs I wrote. For more information see the user guide.

    As with other GreenTech programs, users that I have a valid email for will receive free updates. This is a work in progress, there are many features I would like to add, but due to the demand for the application I have released it with what I think is some really cool features.


    Here is what some of the people who have purchased it are saying:

    I just purchased this tonight and got it installed in about 1 minute. It works great and I love that I can change the colors of the signal strength and the time between each blink of the status light. Truely a much needed item.

    A reviewer from Bayside, New York, February 6, 2004

    The i730 StatusLight is a must have application! It works perfectly and is quite customizable. 'Green Tech' does what Motorola has yet to do. It is easily worth much more than $3.99. Don't pass this up! I look forward to future updates and added abilities! -NYFreakLL@aol.com

    Excellent! A MUST HAVE for all I730 owners One Star One Star One Star One Star No Star
    Ira from Houston, TX, February 6, 2004

    Excellent little program to add a much needed feature to the phone. Only problem is that it won't sit in the background, but I understand that is coming very shortly. If you have an I730, this is a priceless tool for your phone.

    Programs works and works good. One Star One Star One Star One Star One Star
