Hi All,
I've got a Verizon TP2 running EnergyROM Photon and it seems that whenever I get a text my LED blinks green. What I don't get is that under notification options the "Flash light for *dropdown*" isn't checked. Is there a way that I would be able to disable the LED and just get a beep/vibrate?

I'm having a bit of trouble. Whenever I get a text message or MMS the green notification LED doesn't turn to amber? Anyone know a way to get it to turn amber when a message is received?
Haha, I wish you were right and we had a problem. No, this is what we call a feature in the Excalibur. The LED doesn't turn amber at all when you receive a message.
The only way you can tell you have received a message is when the phone is charging and there's a steady green or a steady yellow. If a message is received, then it blinks green.
It's really annoying and pisses me off coming from the PPC world but that is just the way it is. If it makes you feel better, Treo 750 users have similar issues and that's a full blown WM5 phone.
There may be programs floating around that can change the LED upon certain triggers but the ones that I have tried don't really work. If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them. We all know that the LED can blink yellow, green or red. It should just be a matter of software to get that going.
I have been using DontForget. It has the ability to turn off your LED and have it blink only when you have and email, or SMS or a missed call. Or, if you like to keep the normal flashing, you can set it to just blink faster when there's a notification. IMO this should be part of the OS. Get it at http://blog.softimage.cz/?page_id=83
I have also been using DF since Day 1 but it is kinda quirky. I would prefer to change the color of the LED rather than turn it off completely and have it flash faster (I mean how the hell do you distinguish the faster flashing from the slower flashing--I can't and I tried).
I've configured my DF to turn off the LED as well, i'm quite happy with it
Sweet! Thanks a lot for the help. It was a life saver
Has anyone been able to get their phones to have a blinking LED notification while using Go SMS pro...I enabled all the notification settings, but the LED only blinks when the screen turns on after first receiving a text message. After the screen times out, the blinking LED stops completely.
I was using handcent before and LED notification was working fine, but I was wondering if anyone figured out how to get it to work with Go SMS

I have mine setup where the screen doesn't turn on when I get a text, but it blinks like it should. When i test it, I have to turn the screen off to see the LED is working. That app has a TON of settings so I'm thinking there is something in there you can set on how long it will blink for.
Make sure the led color is set to blue. That may be it.

Does your blinking LED work, even with the screen set to turn on, unlock, and show the sms popup notification...I tried the suggestion about not having the screen turn on and just have the LED blink...that seems to work, but I was wondering if any one has figured out the right combination of settings that allows there to be a popup screen + LED notifications once the screen times out
Has anyone figured this out? I am having the same issue.
If someone figures out the exact problem the OP is having, please update and let us know. I have the same issue. PM me or something too. I'm using Xperia TX.
go sms led issue
hey there! hoping you can add some input to my quest for solving my problem.
problem is this:
i get a new message, turn the screen on, read the pop up, reply. the tesla unread app recognizes that i've seen the message and the unread message count goes away, yet the green LED keeps blinking as if i haven't seen anything. to stop the LED from notifying me about the message i just replied to, i swipe down the notifications tab and swipe it back up. then the LED stops blinking. very strange to me.
FIXED. settings needed to be changed on my phone.. not go sms app.
I just installed a new LED app called LEDBlinker Pro on my SIII (SGH-T999). It's required that the screen NOT turn on in order for the LED to blink. Despite me turning off of the "screen on" option under the app's (advanced) settings, the problem is GO SMS Pro continues to turn on the screen whenever there're incoming text messages. Thus no LED notification for me
I sent the GO Dev Team a message, but I was hoping someone else on here knows a fix. I really want to be able to use my new LED app.
Thanks in advance!
*Strangely, the LED notifications were working fine earlier this week, but then this suddenly occurred and I did not update GO SMS Pro or install any other apps recently.
I'm just wondering if notification lights are supposed to turn off after I wake up my phone. I'm currently using Cyanogenmod 10 Nov 4th build.
For example, when I get a text message, my notification light turns on and starts blinking purple (that's my setting I put)
When I turn on my phone, the light disappears. But if don't check my notification and lock my phone again, the notification light doesn't appear.
I was just wondering if this is supposed to happen as if I remember correctly from the stock Samsung Touchwiz ROM, the notification light would stay on until I check the notification and clear it from the tray.
If it's supposed to be like that, is there a way to change it so be more like Samsung's way of dealing with notifications.
Thank you so much in advance!
Hello.
I have problems with my led notification.
First, the problem was that even i didn't have any notification - the led was work and i couldn't stop it somehow.
So i download from google play some alapplications and try 2 fix it-
1. Light flow
2. Flash notification 2
3. Light manager- led settings
But all of this doesn't help and even make my led to get crazy.
Now my incoming call led notification is on yellow/red color and can't set it to green light again. It's looks like it's stuck or something, because even if i set green color to incoming calls it's still red/yellow.
Please help.
Thx.
It's ok now
Suddenly the green light is back.
If someone know how to fix the first problem it will help me.
I've been running LED Blinker Pro for about a year now. It allowed me to set the LED to different colors for texts, missed calls, upcoming appointments, and a host of other things (Signal messages, Facebook messages, low battery etc...) and a user selectable blink rate compared to stock.
Recently, possibly after updating to Pie, things with the LED have changed. Now, when I am charging the phone, the LED goes solid red. When the battery is full, the LED goes solid green. The LED blinks a slow blue when Bluetooth in on. Basically it's doing things I don't want it to do, and it overpowers my own app, rendering it mostly unusable. I uninstalled LED Blinker Pro to see if there was an issue with that app, but the new LED issues remain
I looked throughout the phone's settings, but I cannot find where these "new" LED notification settings are. I'd like to turn them off, and have everything controlled by the app I paid for. I did find a toggle under Settings>Apps & notifications>Notifications>Blink LED, but that turns the LED "off" so that there's no blinking at all, with both the "new" LED features and the paid app. But, I do not want the LED totally off, I just want to be able to control it like I have been able to do over the past year.
Is this new LED blinking function a function of PIE? Has anyone figured out how to change settings for it? Can it be disabled so that I can use my own app to control the LED?
