Does the desire have LED notifications for missed calls/texts??
Yeah, green flashing LED for every text i receive. Not missed a call yet though!
It does but it is not like the Hero which flashed the trackball. It's easy not to notice the tiny green led which flashes on the Desire.
I notice it propper easy! but then i have spent the past few days doing coursework in a darkish room lol

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
Hello!
Does anybody know if there is a notification LED on the Desire? I had previously just assumed that there was.
There is no mention of it in the specifications, but then again, neither the Hero or the Magic have this mentioned. When looking at the pictures of the Desire http://www.htc.com/uploadedImages/WWW/Press_Room/Product_Photo_Gallery/HTC_Desire/Download_01.jpg I do not see anything that resembles of a notification LED. The only place would be in the optical touchpad, but I am not sure.
What do you think?

Ah, excellent. As long as there is a LED I am happy
You can't see the LED on pictures of the Nexus One either, as it is invisible when it is not lit. (It's in the upper right corner between the earpiece and the screen. Nice design choice in my opinion. Probably similar setup on the Desire.
It looks similar to the Blackberry LED's. They're not visible when not lit but are when lit, sort of under the outer casing.
the notification led is the same led as charging led
Hi,
Ive ordered my desire its on the way too me now, i cant contain myself!!
Just wondering, how the desire notifies the user of a message or missed call? Some pictures would be nice.
Thanks
There's a small LED on the right of HTC logo that'll blink whenever there's a notification.
quick question, does htc desire trackpad have any light built in? does it glow like trackball on htc hero for example when txt is received?
There's no trackball to glow!
But there's a notification light on top of the screen to the right of the "htc" logo. It flashes green when there's a notification.
so deffo trackpad doesn't have any notification light built in?
I've read somewhere that it had light under the track pad.
so the notification leds are there, just like hero. But glowing trackball I'm sure will be missed...

instead of looking at trackball (optical track pad in desire) look at the top-right of the screen the trackball might be missed, but not the glowing
I guess they did not include a LED inside the optical trackpad because it would interfere with the detection of the moving finger.
I for one definitely miss the glowing ball on my Hero, much easier to spot from accross the room.

Me too, but then again I also miss the simplistic days of my Nokia 6600 with hyper blue LEDs
Oops, I am sure that I read somewhere (phonearena maybe) that the trackpad does glow.
really annoying the small LED. you just can see it if you are in front of the phone. the light indication would be to easily recognize that you have missed call or whatever.
may be I should look after an application which can blink the screen
Android 2.2 will make the Trackball on the N1 light up different colours for notifications.
shame the desire won't have this.
when charging, the LED is pretty good visible, even from a distance. the biggest problem is, that the LED starts blinking green. That's hardly visible.
it glows
Hey,
just found out that the trackpad has light built under, and it actually indicates if you have missed tweets on twitter application.
But sadly, i can't make it happen to indicate other things (mails, texts, calls).
I found this out by accident (i dont use twitter app) - just spotted interesting option and started googling about it.
Cheers,
Wiktor

cool..but not on the desire..in which phone?
Is there a way to make it so my notification will pulse till I actually see what it is? I often miss text messages and calls for hours because of this. My old Moto Cliq would blink till I actually saw the messages, so I know it's doable. BTW Rooted on Stock T-Mo OTA.
download LEDmeknow so it'll blink for missed calls,texts, etc.
I've been having the same issue lately. The track back pulsing would do its job until I installed bacon bits so I could have the green light on top blink too but I guess 2 lights blinking is being greedy and after a few flashes they stop. Hope urfavoritemazn's suggested app works
