Well, in short, the notification led doesn't flash red anymore when an event takes place (missed call/sms). The phone has been upgraded from wm5 to wm6 a while ago and if I recall correctly, the led used to flash at that time. However, since it was simlocked, I had it taken to someone for unlocking. The guy reinstalled wm6 on it but that didn't help the unlocking procedure (it's a T-Mobile Dash actually, which are a bit more difficult to crack, requiring obtaining an unlock code from a central server based on the IMEI). I'm not sure at which point the LED stopped working, but right now it's not working anymore.
Any ideas ?

Well, this is what I posted on HTCforums as well, but didn't get a reply. As of yesterday, I have also upgraded to win mobile 6.1 (and WOW, this is all I can say ... just ... WOW) from 6.0. However, the notification LED issue is still happening.
The issue is somewhat annoying since I have no way of knowing whether I have any missed calls or new text messages.
Thanks in advance.
P.S.: I also have an Asus v1210 (Vodafone 1210) with winmo 6.
Try this...led utility
Thank you for the reply. Installed the app, and it seems like quite a useful little thing. Unfortunately the LED issue still occurs, still no red blinking. At this point I'm considering a more low tech issue such as the LED itself (well, just the red part) being damaged. Currently I have the upper LED displaying green and yellow (when charging) and the lower LED blinking sometimes, just no signs of red lights
could be, the only time i seen a red led on mine was when the batterys low.
I thought the only LED you could use for notification is fast flashing green for the Excalibur, at least that's all I could find after looking in many places for different color notifications.
If anyone does know how to get different color notifications or solid rather than flashing please share.

Oh man, Im sorry about that I was thinking of the G1 light utility. I had the two mixed up.
Ive tried several roms and all seem to do the same thing. It may have even done it on the stock rom but I dont remember.
My LED notification when I get txts or emails is not blinking correctly. It will blink very irregularly for the first 15 seconds and then sometimes wont blink at all after that. Ive tried custom apps like go sms and an app that forces the light to come on at fixed intervals but it still wont work right, like something is conflicting with the light coming on.
Has anyone else experienced this or know a fix?

Im on the latest Frankenstein rom, but Ive tried the latest Bonsai one before this and it did it as well.
Theres others experiencing this as well but I havent found any fixes for it yet, even the apps they recommend dont work for me.

Try Missed Reminder
My configuration:
Start/Stop Service (Check)
Autostart (Check)
Everything else disabled.
Preferences settings for Missed SMS/MMS/Missed Calls/Missed Gmails
Turn the screen on (Unchecked)
Popup (Unchecked)
Vibrate (Unchecked)
Ringtone (Silent)
Blink Led (Unchecked)
Notification Intervals (1s)
Number of repeats (Forever)
I found that by using these settings, it forces the device to keep the LED blinking. I also found that you can then use apps with custom LED settings like Go SMS to change the color and LED blink rate with no problems.
Its always done this. Maybe one day we can get a fix. Sometimes mine works just fine and other times it is very sporadic.

Same here. Always done this from day one. I had a brand new Epic, played around with it, and the LED crap never worked. On that particular phone, the PRL would never update so I took the phone back and got another one. PRL worked fine, and the LED on that phone did the same thing.
I also have the LED to set to keep blinking in Chomp SMS, and it does not work. I have ALWAYS gotten the sporadic LED blinks when I get a message, and then it disappears.
This has happened on the STOCK phone out of the box, as well as with DK28 and Bonsai 2.0.1.
So regardless of the ROM you use, you're still going to be out of luck. Until Samsung can get this fixed...hopefully in the new Froyo build coming out next week, then you are stuck, just like many other people are.
I have not tried that program that was posted by Isira, but you may give it a try and see if that fixes your problem. I tried a program similar way in the beginning and it didn't work.
It's worth a shot though. But Samsung knows its a problem, and that's all there is to it. You're stuck with it, just like me.
UPDATE I just tried the program and so far it seems to work. My SMS is still blinking. Not quite a true second like it is set, but it is blinking. I'll keep testing it, but you may give it a try.
I did try the missed reminder app and messed around with the settings but it still blinked sporadically. On a side note I used the samsung tool to update to EB13 and stock 2.2 and the blinking seems back to normal...
I'm using RMK's Virtuous Unity ROM and I'm annoyed by the fact that the green LED notification only blinks for a few minutes after the message/email arrives. I feel like it should keep blinking until the screen is turned on or the message is acknowledged. I checked it on RMK's GingerSense and it displays the same annoying behavior there. Does anyone have any advice or the MODing chops to help me out?
I am also interested in this!
I was thinking the same thing.
I think that might be some sort of default behavior on the Inc2...at least I've noticed the same thing on rooted stock 2.3.3....
Have you tried roms that are not based on sense, like miui or cynogenmod?
I'm on CM7 and I THINK the led continuously blinks. Don't quote me on that, though
Sent from my finally rooted Dinc 2
I'm a fan of cm7, but the messed up compass on the AOSP ROMs is a dealbreaker for me. So I'm still hoping that someone comes up with a solution for the Sense/stock based ROMS.
OMFGB rom has continuous blinking......even when charging
gatta acknowledged it and it'll go away

maybe a spam unread email in your spam folders?!
there was a similar problem in minicm7, don't know if it helps.
MarkMRL said:
Hello everyone. I wanted to tell you that I managed to fix the random blinking leds. I did it by basically selecting random options in the advanced settings under led notification. I guess some flags don't update correctly, causing the led to always blink in random colors. By ticking and unticking everything a few times randomly, I probably triggered the random flag to update correctly, thus fixing the blinking color. Now I can select a color and have it blink normally. SO yeah, if you have this but and deleting the file didn't help, just tick and untick everything a few times, until the problem fixes itself. There is definitely some bug in the ROM regarding the led behaviour, and I think it should be tested throughly.

Nice original thought phillybizzle, thanks for joining in on the brainstorming. Alas, after turning off notifications for email (presumably taking any email sub folder issues out of the equation) and sending a txt to the device, the notification LED blinked for 5 minutes and then stopped.

The new message notification LED on my (new) LTE Gnex only flashes once or twice, just when the phone boots up. Doesn't flash when a new message arrives. I've tried disabling it, and re-enabling it in settings, but it just does not work. This does not seem normal, and I'm wondering if I need to return the phone, which I really don't want to do. I've already unlocked the bootloader and rooted, but still running the stock ROM.

Have you tried Light Flow from the Market?
This has worked with the stock ROM.
I personally use Trackball Alert Pro - MoDaCo ROM has suppport for this.
Just tried calling myself, and hung up. The LED isn't lighting up. But I have seen it blink for emails at least. Hmm.. maybe try light flow.

Have not tried any 3rd party apps, yet. First I wanted to know if there was a problem with my phone, or if this is "just" a bug. If others have this same problem, then I'll try a 3rd party solution. Thanks for the feedback.
Tried the same thing, called myself and sent messages with no led notification. Thought my led was broken but then installed light flow and it worked no problems.
Not sure how it was supposed to work stock but could not get it to work at all without a 3rd party app.
Without the app, the only option I could fight was pulse notifications which I tried turning on and rebooting but it never seemed to work.

Just tried light flow. When I tried the "test LED" function, my phone would no wake from sleep. Also got sleep of death when I got an email. Had to do a battery pull. Any solution for this?
I looked at Trackball Alert and it requires Paul's ROM, which I'm not ready to try (yet).
I noticed it doesn't light up when it's charging either. Is this normal behavior?
From what I've seen so far the stock light is a hit and miss for me. Only time will tell how they will improve this.
Do you have it set on? Lol that's all I can think of. Mine works fine

Well its not your phone....The light stock is stupid I have no idea why you would include a light that only flashes random times and only in white..... I had issues with lightflow crashing my phone when waking with several notifications flashing. Just bite the bullet an flash ARHD or Paul's rom they both support Trackball notification and it works very well!!

Yep. Probably don't have/use most apps that support it for me to notice it all the time.
I've been having the same trouble. Haven't seen the light in days.
I went back and revisited some of my settings. I had turned on the setting for the screen to "stay awake while charging." I unchecked it, and now my light is working again.
Now, it only ever comes on when the screen is off to begin with. It won't come on if the notification happens while it's already on.
But at least the light comes on when the screen is off now!
(And I really wish the blink rate was higher. You can look at it for several seconds between blinks, and think there's nothing and look away.)
So the change I made to the settings seems to have fixed the light issue. I have been properly getting notifications since I turned off the keep awake. Seems like an easy enough to fix bug as long as they know about it.
But now what I want is a faster blink rate. One second on out of every 6 or 7 seconds is easy to miss.
This just started today. My notification light is a constant blue. It won't go off. I have no notifications of any kind. In fact I turned off everything. I'm not using Lightflow. I wiped cache and dalvik and even reflashed the Kernel (Franco). It's really eating the battery.
Any solutions? Most appreciative.
which rom?

thats the kernel lol. if youre on AOKP or CM9 check the led light settings
if its not that then it must be one of the apps in the background
Duh, sorry. I knew that. It's stock.
I can't find any running Apps that would enable an always on blue light. I've never seen this light except by modification. My green notification light is definitely not engaged at the moment as I've gotten numerous texts and emails that would have triggered it.
Any ideas at all?
have you got lightflow installed but disabled? if so you can check the accessibility settings to see if it is actually turned off,
other than that i cant see what could be causing a blue led. the GNex led by default is white for notifications. last resort would be to do a backup and factory reset
No Lightflow installed.
Damn!
install a battery monitoring application to see what exactly is eating your battery, that might show up with something

Uh, wasn't rude. Just responding to his question. The damn was directed at my frustration.
Peace.
Did you just install handcent?That blinks my light blue for texts.
Facebook notifications blinks blue too
Facebook notifications are completely turned off.
Handcent has been installed forever. But I haven't made any changes to the notification process. And the light doesn't blink. When the screen is off it is constant on.
The light recently turned off. But as soon as I unlocked it and locked it again the light came back.
Weird....and sooo frustrating.
All of your LED notifications are disabled? In that case, enable them ALL! LOL, That's what I would do anyway. And try to receive as many notifications as possible. Worth a shot.
At this point, I would just wipe the phone and redo a clean install. You'll end up less frustrate than trial and error to find the fix.

Yeah, but I'm really trying to avoid this. My next step is a Nandroid restore.
Sigh....
Today I had the same on CM10, freshly installed (with wipe) yesterday. I shut off the screen and the blue LED goes on constantly.
Before that, I had this issue on Stock ROM. Really don't know what's going on there, some ppl in german forums are having the same issue.
A reboot or some tricks (send yourself a text message) do help clear the LED. My catlog says nothing, i.e. I didn't found any suspect message.
