Greetings,
I'm running my HTC EVO 4G on the default stock ROM (rooted). HTC has this setting in place where your LED notifications will stop after 5-6 mins after a missed call, text message, email, etc... I asked HTC about this and they claimed it was intentional to conserve battery life. There's no way around this issue using the default stock ROM. It practically defeats the purpose of having a LED notification.
My question is are any of the custom ROMs setup so that the LED notifications will continuously blink until the message is cleared from the Notification bar?
Thanks in advance,
- Mitalis
Im using missed reminder. works pretty well.

Hi all!
I'm wondering if any of you know of any free apps that would help the epic better control the text message notifications. As stock, it rings/vibrates once and then one will not know unless they look at the screen. Looking for an app that will either keep vibrating/ringing intermittently if the user has not viewed the message.
Any help would be really appreciated... Thanks!
i dont know if youve tried it... but i disable all notifications for the stock messenger and install handcent. its themeable and EXTREMELY customizable as far as notifications go. you can even choose between pink, red, and blue for your led notifier. but just to let you know... your phone will stay awake while your led is blinking if you set it that way... killing your battery.

Just rooted my phone and installed Cyanogenmod 7.0.3. Now for some odd reason, when I lock/turn the screen off on the phone the light around the optical trackpad keeps flashing every 10 seconds or so. I thought it was a signal light telling you that you have reception, but no even when I have zero bars it still flashes. Any suggestions on how I might make it stop flashing?

trackpad flash is for notifications, you may have an email, missed call, sms, mms, poke or tweet waiting to be read.

Your comment sort of traced the issue. I turned off "Pulse notification light" under Sound Settings -> Notifications and that stopped the light from blinking. However I want it to blink if I have something in need of attention, but I don't. I've checked Gmail, Email, K-9 Email, Google+, SMS, and Voicemail and there isn't anything.
It's also weird that the touch keys (home, menu, back, search) are always on when using the phone, I think before they didn't turn on unless I touched them but that's another thing.

Sometimes the light will bug out if you've had a lot of notifications and you've cleared them all at once or quickly. A reboot will fix it.
The touch keys lighting up are usually based on the ambient light sensor, which chooses whether or not its bright enough to warrant lighting up the keys to be easier seen.
Okay this is weird. The blinking stops after 10 minutes. I assume that's the threshold for the normal notification blinky otherwise it'll continue blinking if you don't check whatever was unread. For some reason its as if it thinks there is something unread everytime I unlock the phone and then lock it.

Hey there,
I'm having the same issue but never really tracked it down because I didn't care too much. But after reading this thread, I gave it another shot. Pulling down the status bar, it was the AlarmDroid-Entry (categorized as "Notifications", not as "Ongoing") that struck my eye. The way AlarmDroid (by default, see below) tells you about an active alarm is that it kind of posts a non-removable notification. I'd guess it keeps reposting it every few miliseconds via a service or something.
Turning the active alarms off does indeed eliminate the trackpad-flashing in my case, so I think this is more of an AlarmDroid and possibly other apps using similar status notifications issue than actually a cyanogenmod one.
Edit: just in case anyone reads this and wonders: AlarmDroid actually gives you the option to disable the notification behavior either by disabling the status symbol altogether or by putting it in the right side part of the status bar. See "General Preferences" -> "Display Settings" -> "Status bar symbol" for possible configurations.

Thanks for the reply ... I fixed it by installing Cyanogenmod 7.1 RC1. It was weird, I knew it was the ROM when I installed MIUI and then back to Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 and the flashing started happening again.
Also I don't use Alarm Droid ... either way, thanks for the reply.
Hey there.
LED indicatior for SMS, missed calls, not reacting well. I can't use LightFlow and similar app, because phone is not rooted (look complicated - or is there any 1 click rooting app? -2.3.3) Only on charging is orange, and when battery etc. That wouldn't be problem if notification light on trackpad could blink faster, and I suppose that root must be done too.
So, is there any app like "Nokia sleeping screen" on Symbian, to see time, missed calls and sms on screen in standby.
see:youtube.com/watch?v=yE5pLjrivP8
I don't think Widget Locker requires root, and you could make a custom lock screen that uses a widget like Pure Messenger to show missed calls, texts, emails, etc.
i don't think widget can solve problem, because notification should be visible all the time, like on Nokia sleeping screen. Or some program witch makes backlight light, trackpad light (faster, ex. every two second). I suppose for that phone must be rooted, so I need the easiest way - app that shows notification on screen all the time.
I think i found solution for LED notification and more- Missed Call Reminder (free, on Market) /also SMS/MMS notification /
Hello everyone,
I recently got a nexus and love it. Just one thing that I can't quite figure out is the notification light. Is it supposed to come on, when you have a text, email and notification from an app? I have it activated in settings but it doesn't seem to be coming on when I have a notification. Any ideas or special settings I should be aware of?
BIG THANKS IN ADVANCE!
When I'm charging my device, or if I receive a message my led lights up. I have light flow installed though. Didn't set up anything in my rom control settings.
Also when you receive a message do you check it right away or let it sit? If I check my message right away it doesn't come up if my phone is idle it flashes as a reminder.

Thanks, I can try that program. But isn't it supposed to show the notifications on its own? It did light up ONE time when I got an email. I'm on stock 4.0.2.
* Lightflow seemed to correct the problem. THANKS!
the built in notification is a fail. all the apps have their own settings which is why some pulse and some dont. Just download light flow..more control as to colour and pulse time and speed and such.
I dont use any app and my light works fine. Text blinks blue using handcent, google voice blinks green, gmail blinks white.
I believe the led can be configured by any app if the dev codes it in, but google did not give us control of it, instead letting devs handle it. Cyanogen surely will have built in controls.
Hi guys,
So I'm on a stock N7 all OTA updates including the new one and my notifications don't work.
No LED light, no sound, nothing in the notification bar.
When I get on facebook I see that I have like 3 messages in red, even gmail notifications don't show up.
My notifications were ok before - most of the time, only brief periods of inactivity but now it looks like they're gone for good.
So please guys do you know how to activate them again?
Thanks
