On stock messaging the LED notification will shut off after 5 minutes, in Handcent it will keep blinking until you check the message... Is there any way to take this off? I mean I want the LED but just for 5 minutes, not until I read the message.
Any thoughts?

Hi,
I have the indicator light set to blink forever in case of a reminder but last week, as a reminder came up, my TP2 crashed so I had to power cycle it. Now even though the reminder has come and gone, the green indicator light keeps blinking.
I can get the LED to stop blinking if I send myself an email and then read it (since I have the indicator light blink on new emails) but if I power cycle, it starts blinking again.
Is there a way to stop this behavior? Tried googling but didn't come up with anything except some links to FixUnreadCount.exe but that seems to be for email and SMS, not reminders.
Thanks.
Turn it off in your settings, soft reset then turn it back on. If that doesn't work you just have to learn to live with it or hard reset.

I think you might need to do a hard reset. Back up your data first.
Doh. I was afraid of that.
What's a good backup program that will let me backup/restore the contacts & SMS conversations?
Thanks.
I was recently going through the phone's settings menu, and in sound and display there is a section called pulse notification light which according to the description, pulses LED light repeatedly for new notifications. I have this checked to do this, but I have never seen the LED pulse for any notifications, whether it be incoming calls, sms, or email. I have checked and unchecked it, rebooted the phone, but to no avail I see no pulse notification.
Am I missing something here?
My phone is totally stock for the OS, and applications.
The notification LED light only blinks if the screen is off and if the notification LED light setting is enabled within their respective applications.
The screen is off, and I don't see any setting within the default messaging app, or the gmail app that says anything about LED notifications. I don't think that is very smart for a smartphone. I hate the phone vibrating while sitting on my desk, I would rather have the LED flashing to notify me of new messages, and/or email.
I'm sorry, there is no LED notification in the settings, bad memory LOL. The LED should work as long as Notifications is checked, although it may be defective, like blinking 5 times when you first receive an email or message, and then blinks sporadically afterwards.

It could very well be the case that your LED light is not working and you should go to a repair center to get it checked out.
Hello, I have gone into settings and turned off all notification led notifications, but everytime I recieve a text, missed call or email, I still get the green coloured notification led, flashing away. Anyone please.?
you will probably have to turn off notifaction in each app.
We only get one notification alert for notifications? Is there no way to change this to every minute or five minutes, etc? I have read of an app that will use the light to notify you again of an unread notification, but is that all?
Well Light Flow / Light Flow Lite handles the LED and can continuously notify you and setup repeat alerts. It also does the same for sounds/vibrations, although it gets a bit mucky because it doesn't mesh well with the stock sounds/vibrations. Lots of configuration needed but it will do what you want.
Hi,
How long should last the LED when it's blinking ? SMS received etc...
In my old HTC, I believe it was 5 min.
I am asking the question as when I receive a sms at 1am...it will blink until 6am in the morning....
No really good for my battery even I know it's only a LED...but....
Thanks for your reply.
Cheers,
I miss that option too.
It seems that there is no way to control led blinking time. Led keeps blinking until the missed event is cleared.
I found that better, LED keeps blinking until I check the notification. Hated the 5 mins notification in BlackBerry.
Anyway, you could use Light Manager app, and set sleep time.
Besides, continuous blinking of LED doesn't drain any battery. I often have a SMS or a missed call for more than 4/5 hours, and I never noticed any drain, at all.
