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
Morning,
Is anyone else finding their Notification LED for text messages (Possibly E-Mail's too) is flashing for 2-3 Minutes then stopping? Missed several texts now because of this and its annoying me that I have to keep unlocking my phone to check for texts.
Is there an option I have missed? Do I have a dodgy Phone? or is that just the way it is?
KYI
I think mine does this too, that's why I was asking for a Wake on Notification app. Can we change LED from green or orange via software?

'Missed call' for the Market lets you (IIRC) change LED colour Whether is is fully operational on Desire, I'm not sure. Don't think you need root access either.
It's only flashes for about 2-3 mins then goes off - if you've not noticed by then I assume it thinks it'll save power...
makes sense to me to be honest. for example if u miss a text on the iphone, it will only chime once more. i wouldnt want mine staying on.
I Suppose I just miss it for the G1 days. My Phone is on silent all day at work and the continious LED was a bonus for notifications. Surely an single LED doesn't draw that much power? Might have to give Missed call a try again.
nah the desire seems to use different code to light up the notification LED so none of the LED apps on the market work anymore. like LEDtester, the LED just flashes green and cant be changed. and handcent, it just flashes green and cant be changed.

have it on vibrate instead - or just check the screen every now and then...
I did post about this earlier but got zero replies so I wondered if it was only me.
Mine blinks for I think it's exactly 5mins. That's it. And I don't think it has anything to do with saving battery since that one blinkiing LED (mostly blinking when then screen is off) does not take much power at all.
I've emailed HTC to see what they say.
Although not ideal, handcent does allow you to set notification reminders.
I have mine set to re-vibrate 15 mins after receiving a text if I haven't checked it. You can change all the options, so have it chime, vibrate, wake scree, flash LED, all of above, one of above etc. at different intervals and a number of times - I find once vibrating only to be a sufficient reminder if it's in my pocket, however if on a desk would probably have the screen re-awaken.
Might help.

I'm just wondering wether the desire has leds, for notifications.
yes.
{filler}
Okay thanks, is it next to the earpeice, also the optical trackpad have any leds for notifications like the nexus one trackball.
It's just to the right of the HTC logo above the screen. I've never seen the track pad light up on mine.
as foner78 says, top of the screen to the right of the logo.
No, the trackpad does not light up.
Although the thought or a bright red terminator eye does sound kinda cool
Is it able to do diffrent colours (apart from green, orange and red)??? My girlfriend has got an htc magic and the led can make also blue, purple, pink and several others (she had to download a special app from the app 'cause stock android didn't have this option)
not that i know of, no. maybe someone else knows?
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?
I just bought a HTC Desire Z two days ago, and was wondering about the notification light, as there are TWO in the desire Z
my question is, should the top notification light goes on when I recieve a notification, or only the bottom one will light up?
and if it's only the bottom one, how can I make the top one light up too? and in different colors, like in my friends HTC G1, he has blue, green, and red
thx for your time!
On my stock ROM (see my signature), the trackpad light blinks if you turn on that notification, but it's only every 10 seconds or so, and I actually never noticed it originally and thought it wasn't working at all. It doesn't blink the power LED.
However, I use the "Led Me Know" app from the market, and you can configure that to blink either the top LED or the trackpad LED, depending on how you set it up.
You can't make the trackpad LED blink different colours unfortunately, this was looked into a while back. The top one is limited to amber or green.

ok, thx alot for the fast reply
I used LED Me Know. Works fine for the LED, but it often overrides (e.g.) my Gmail notification sound with the standard notification sound I have for messages. Or it just plays both notification sounds. I hate that, and there's no option to activate or deactivate it messing with the sounds.
Does this happen to you too?

Sorry I don't use Gmail notification and I haven't tried playing with the sounds. I suggest contacting the developer about it, he responded quickly to me when I contacted him before.

You can disable the g-mail notifications and let the app do it's own thing...
One weird thing I have noticed with the app is that it delays the notifications... Like first it disables the notification for any texts... and it pretty much waits out the time that it would have taken for the notification (vibrations) and then follows through with the notification you selected in the app settings. So pretty much I see the LED blinking for like 5 seconds before I get any audible or vibrating notification.
EDIT: I also realize that this is very poorly worded and hard to follow, But I can't think of any other way to say it so bear with me!! XD
