Is this a feature or a bug? Anyone else experience the same thing? (It isn't a dealbreaker or anything, but it's a little odd...)
Apologies for bumping this - I'm guessing I'm the only one with this issue?
My Sensation does it when I have a call - it's normal (unless it's proper disco flashing)

Oh, okay. I only actually notice it when I hang up and the top bar flashes green - which seemed a little strange. Thanks!
Have this too and also on my Gf's XE. Guess its normal.
Mines too, my sensation also done it, don't worry about it mate, enjoy your phone.
Its actually green all the way through the call to the end. Its there tobremind you you're in a call if you start using the phone for something else.
It'll flash green so you know to pull down the notification bar and go back to the call to end it.

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.
I haven't fully tested this issue yet mainly because I've only had the phone for a few days... I wanted to check if anyone else had this problem.
Under Settings -> Sound & Display -> Notification Flash
I have all the options ticked.
In theory, whenever I have a missed call or a SMS or email etc, I should be able to tell that I need to check my phone be a little blinking light in the top right corner off the screen. I just came back to my phone and this LED wasn't blinking but when I turned on the phone, there was a missed call and a SMS.
Other times, it seemed to work fine.
Anyone else noticed this problem?
it only flashes for 5 mins and then stops. There is no way to change this without additional apps.

Oh... How disappointing. Pretty useless imo. Thanks for the info. I wonder if they will fix it. My previous phone, Touch Diamond, had something similar but it never stopped flashing until you looked at your missed calls.
Now that explains things. I tend to look for the led after I've not used the phone for a while. In my pocket or elsewhere. Quite a few times I've seen no flashing but have a notification in the top left. I thought it was another one of those little 'features' we keep finding.
Yeh i discovered this awhile back and it's annoying as hell, i just use a app called Missed Reminder which can be configured to allowed it to keep flashing indefinitely
I was just going to make a post about this. I thought the LED notification wasn't working at all on my Desire, since I've never seen it, but perhaps it had just stopped before I had the chance to catch it, then

What apps are you referring to? It would be nice to be able to have the LED flash longer.
I'm guessing this is to save battery time, I don't know how much power a small LED uses but it surely can't help with the already abysmal battery life
I first thought the LED was located behind the optical trackpad, because the trackball on my Hero could light up. I think the LED-notification is pretty dumb since it's almost invisible when it lights up. The lighting trackball was much much better
This is a known issue. I thought that did not happen in Android, but I guess I was wrong.
If the phone work in Windows Mobile, there are a registry key to let assign values to the options, so they are usable.

In Android, I have no clue... maybe my info help in any way.
PMoto
It would be nice to be able to change the flash time from the default 5 minutes, or atleast an option for no time limit.
I know it's to help save battery life, but I'm willing to say that the light flashing will use less battery then the back light coming on everytime I'm away from my phone for more then 5 minutes, from me checking to see if I have new messages, email, or missed phone calls.
Same issue with my recently purchased A40.
No blinking at all despite screen flash notification selected.
Hope someone can help
Does anyone know what this icon on my status bar is? It is driving me nuts that I cannot figure it out. It started appearing on my replacement EVO, even though I installed the same applications (pretty sure) as my original device.

Are you using stock Sense? It looks like it may be a speakerphone indicator, but not sure if it should be displaying when you're not on a call...
I remember seeing a post for a fix where the ear wouldnt go away, i believe after flashing a certain rom but i cant remember what one...is that the issue it wont go away?

I just don't know the application that put it there. I have never seen it. I am just trying to figure it out, so I can make a decision if I want it or not.
@fchipm - didn't see last question...the icon appear at all times.
It is the hearing aid icon...You have hearing aid compatibility turned on. it makes the earpiece louder.
Setting is Menu>Settings>Call>Hearing Aids . Just uncheck it and the icon will go away
Thanks GeoTX!!
Hi,
Factory reset - done!
Flash Android 2.3 - done!
I had the original Android 2.2 before, so the software is not the reason for my HTC Wildfire display problem.
Display image is moving up/down, the line of notification with signal, battery level..., is going in the middle, bottom of display and so on.... I have a screenshoot and a picture made with a very bad mobile camera, but hope to be enough!
I think few water drops inside 3.5 mm audio jack could be the reason, the warning LED(red one) is not working too.
Had someone the same issue? A way to fix this?

Someone else also had a similar issue. Here is the link.

but not sure if both cases are the same...

...menu bar is floating from bottom to top, pushing all icons/options and it is nearly impossible to hit the right icon/option. Also when there is a keyboard, it moves up and down but it always reacts when pressed on position where it should normaly stand.
Thanks! So... I'm not the only one with this issue.
I think the reason for this screen it's because i dropped the phone before (3-4 days), but not noticed this right in that moment...
Anyway, I easy dropped the phone with intention several times recetly and the screen was OK for a day... don't know what can it be...
I'll try to find out how can be this problem fixed in a service and how much have to pay for all this...
After all, it seems my display don't want to turn on anymore.
I turned on my phone and it's working, it's able to receive calls with no problem, digitizer is working too because I can answer by tapping the known part of display where is that button!
I want to buy a new display and replace it. Could be anything else that make my display not turning on?
One thing I've noticed with this phone, that I don't remember experiencing on previous Nexus/Android experiences, is an annoying "Boop!" tone that happens right as you hit the red button to end a call. I've been digging around in settings and can't find a way to get rid of this tone.
Any of you know a way to turn this off?
I haven't noticed the beep yet (takes on the phone less than an hour ago too).
Anyway, it's probably audio_end.ogg located in
/system/media/audio
Once you have located it, delete or rename it then reboot.

You brilliant, brilliant human! That did it. Thanks!
Isn't that noise the other party hanging up before you do? I believe that's the only time it happens? Now I can't remember.... Either way you have fixed it

Nope. It even happens if you call someone and then hang up before they answer. It drove me nuts but now it's fixed.
