Way to get the LEDs to flash or pulse when in ear?

As the title says. I know if you shake the dash it will flash it's battery level, but when it's in my ear I'd rather not furiously shake my head haha.

Basically I just like the look of it when the LEDs are on; it looks less like a hearing aid and more like a cool piece of tech. They mentioned a feature a while back that will allow you to let it breathe, so I'm not sure if this exists and I missed it? The app is very rudimentary on my android.

Not yet. It will come with a future update (they didn't say when).

I remember reading that somewhere, as well.

Happy Cake Day!

Yeah you are right that they definitely draw attention, but the option to toggle it would be nice.

The battery life is already short as it is and you wanna make it worst with unnecessary led flashes?

I want the option for customization which should be easily implemented. Variable led breathe length and period (including off), sound transparency that is variable, ability to make our own macros and gestures to control parts of the phone, possibly integrating with tasker/nfc tags, etc.

It's not like I want to make the battery life worse for everyone, there would still be an off option. That said, If I could sacrifice 20 mins of battery life to have it breathe once every 30 seconds when I want it to, I'd go for it temporarily at certain times. I rarely have them in for the full 3+ hours.

It wouldn't surprise me if many of these ideas will become available at some point. And I agree: just make them options.
