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
Hi,
I noticed that the LED-notification of my silver Desire doesn't work when I receive/missed a phone call, email or sms... I remember that the LED started to blink on my old Hero when I received or missed a call, sms or email.
Someone at work received his Desire too today and I tested his LED notification and it doesn't work neither, now I'm wondering whether all Desire's have got that problem or is it normal that it doesn't light up? Maybe it's an issue of ALL desire's?
I need to know it asap because I have to go back to the shop if it's actually broken. I can get a replacement...
Mine works so far
mine works but seems to give up after a short while, which is useless tbh....
JAmes.
Yeah mine works, but I did read in another thread that the notification turns off after about five minutes...making it kinda pointless
Same thing happends on Legend too !
the led is the small thing on top.
Not the big thing in the bottom.
There have been other people that made this mistake, so i'm just making sure

??? My desire only has one led if you don't count the buttons.
The hero has a trackball, with a led. The optical sensor in the desire doesn't have a led.
The led on the hero also stopped blinking after a minute or 5, very strange design...
Yep. It seems 5 minutes is all we get... I'm sure its a fairly simple fix though?
the 5 minute notification LED is plain SUPID !
is there an app/widget for this ?! a LED-notification-keep alive or something ?
Use handcent for sms, and touchdown for emails. You can also try missed calls

I'm using MissedCalls, both for SMS and Lost Call.
@pina_:
verify that (translated from italian menù...)
menù/setup/tone and display/blink notify has all the mark checked !
I couldn't find "handcent" on the Market ...
But Missed Calls kicks asss, just what the typical Legend/Desire needs.
thanks fblasot!
Later edit: yeah .. Missed Calls does not work on my 2.1 Desire.. The notification LED still shuts down after 5 minutes ... Bummer

oh,
I was convinced that led was working well...
Yeasterday I tried with a lost call and after 5 minutes led stops blinking
But the option "repeat sound & vibration" after N minutes work, so at least some sort of notification is still available with missed call.
I read on the missed call application note that led notification is a problem of android 2.1...
Today I tried with an sms and led blinks for 10 minutes (with each 5 minutes sound and vibration still available...).
Sorry to drag up an old topic but I have a minor problem and didn't really want to start a new one for it.
When my Desire is charging is shows an orange LED to show that it isn't finished and a green one when it is. Lovely. Problem is, if I receive a text while it's charging, it then starts flashing blue to show me I have a message but after I have read or replied to it, the charging LED won't come back on. The phone is still charging but it doesn't light up.
Is this a common thing? I'm using Handcent by the way.

+ 1 Handcent is awesome, Nice solid Blue LED when you get SMS and Calls also. Get it
I seem to be having a problem with the messaging app (the HTC one)
While typing a message, for some reason, the app will scroll upwards slightly (not to the top of the thread, just a bit up so the text box is JUST out of view). I then have to scroll back down to continue typing. Does anyone know why this might be happening, and if I can do anything to stop this?
Thanks
In landscape or portrait?
Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk
Only landscape as far as i know. I'm not sure if it happens in portrait since I only ever reply to texts in landscape.
I'm having a similar issue where the phone will start doing things on its own. I'll go to start sending a message and it will scroll and press random buttons.
Has anybody seen anything like this before?
Yup I have the same, strange and quite irritating.
I get this too, don't think it's happened in portrait for me yet, just landscape.
Also, when I'm deleting text it'll sometimes pop up the screen letting me delete messages instead of the text, so I have to go back and reclick the box to carry on again.
I've also noticed that sometimes I'll get like a new text message notification after I've replied to a new text, even though I've obviously read it?
This is quite frustrating after a while, can anyone look into this?
Im having same issue as well.
On top of that my received messages from people are time stamped a couple hours behind. Not sure whats going on here

Does anyone else have a problem with the phone typing in CAPS right after you slide out the keyboard?
Also, anyone know how to tweak it so when i press "enter" it sends the message?

I also have this happen to me, and the caps this has happened to me too. I hope this is fixable.
Hey guys,
just to update my findings, it sure seems to me that it's a light-sensor issue. Most of this happens in low or inconsistent light scenarios. In my case it happens specifically under or near one lamp in the early morning.
Can anybody else verify that it's happening in situations like this?
I'm seeing this scrolling issue too. As has been said, it looks like it's due to the program loading up all the previous messages, i.e. when it's finished doing that it then "jumps".

this is also exactly what is happening to me. perhaps a future update or a custom ROM might fix this..can anyone confirm?
I'm still very new to Android. Is the messaging app an HTC thing (my own guess) or a standard Android utility ?
Check this thread, particularly post 22 onwards, for details on how to replace the HTC version of the SMS app with another one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846231
To answer my question above - yes, it looks like the stock version is an HTC app, not an Android one.
Can confirm it's a HTC app. On my old HTC HD2 I used a total clean 2.2 android rom and the app is very different
Got both scroll and CAP problem, sometimes
I have the scrolling problem and also my sms notification does not clear from the notification window shade unless I click on it there. Going directly into the messaging app and reading/replying to the sms leaves the notification there.
I was using ChompSMS but that gave me jip with repeatedly sending the same sms again and again, so i switched to the standard HTC sms app - which has these problems!
had the same problem... handcent doesn't have this problem, and I installed a rom with the stock sms app (villsion) and have had zero issues since!
Yeah, switched to the vanilla messaging app and all is well.
Hi, I have noticed that sometimes when I have a notification, the led doesn´t blink at all, and sometimes it does. I have official IMM76I, and I have noticed it mainly with Whatsapp, but it can be because is the only program I use with the phone silenced in my work.
Have you noticed that?

Where are we talking of color option?
I have noticed it even with GTalk and many other apps. Yesterday, I was playing when a notification sounded. Without turning on the screen, I kept watching the phone but the LED never blinked. I turned on the screen and I had a GTalk message.
Nothing else have noticed that problem?
I have had this problem as well on my VZW nexus on AOKP m5 and earlier versions as well. It doesn't happen all of the time, but maybe 10-15% of the time with SMS and at least 90% of the time with gmail.
I can see a gmail come in on the notification light on my Xoom, but nothing happens on my phone, I'll check the phone 5 min later and the email is there but no notification.

You mean there is not the notification icon on the upper bar?
My problem is different, I have the notification icon, but the led doesn´t blink
Notices this as well with various apps. Native as well as 3rd party. Doesn't bother me that much just makes the OS less 'perfect'.

Thanks for the idea, I have not tried the light flow app; but I have asked in another forums and people with than app also have noticed the problem.
Anyway, the objetive is to find the bug and report it to google, so they can fix it in the next update for our Gnex
Anyone else with the problem?
Is the option checked in each program? Those who flash rooms and rebuild everything might forget an app or two that does not have the option on by default.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
I've noticed from time to time as well... But the other thing is that even when it does blink, it often shuts off fairly shortly afterwards.
It would be nice if there was options to ensure that it blinks and keeps blinking until you acknowledge it.
Light Flow works perfectly for me. Never had an issue with it not blinking or blinking incorrectly.
I use it as not all the apps I have on my phone have LED light functionality natively, and Light Flow takes care of that.

Yes, because the problem is not always, and the same app can work, and not work sometimes..
Received the M8 a few days ago and the LED works OK as it lights up on charging...BUT that's it no missed call or Email SMS etc.
Looking around various forums it looks like there are some issues probably software related as people have exchanged phones and still had the issue.
My question to you on the International version is anyone having these issues and if so has anyone found a fix.
Thank you

I had the same issue; so I factory reset the phone. But this time around, I didn't restore any backup and started fresh. Seems to be working so far (and it's been 2 days).

Can confirm this method works but should'nt have had to factory reset. I'm now resetting up all my phone . .just hope it doesnt happen again.
Must be back from google bug somewhere that messes up the LED's from working ?? But dont really understand how it would . .
I had the same problem. I read on another forum that if you install another launcher the led stops working for notifications. When I first setup my phone restored apps and one of them happened to be a launcher. I did factory reset did not restore any apps and notifications led started working again. I'm not sure if another launcher had anything to do with it but the fix worked for me.
For me the notification LED works from day one, did not had a problem, i did restore my apps from backup but i never used any other launcher so i cannot confirm that is the problem. But i believe it must be app related as its working for some and not for others, usually hard reset without restoring app brings it back. Strange...
When I was migrating my note 2 to m8 must have copied a new launcher . I have factory reset and installed backups manually all is good now

This may or may not be related, but is there any way to keep the LED light flashing when you have a notification and not have it turn off after five minutes?

Everything I found says that there is no setting on the phone to change that. It may require a developer to patch it or give us some instructions on how to extend the time.
I'm also having the same problem with the LED notification. I really don't want to do a factory reset so i'm still hoping that there is a solution to this. The LED lights up during charging but does not light up at all for text message or email or other notifications. I'm using nova launcher so some are saying that it is because of these third party launchers that is the cause but i'm still wondering how can that really effect the LED. I hope somebody can really enlighten us on this.
I had this issue but only for missed calls. Other missed things would still notify. I did a factory reset and still have the same problem without doing any backups!!
I have the same Issue but I really don't want to reset the phone.
Still hoping for another fix....

I had the same problem on the day I picked it up. Read about the factory reset and as it was my first day with it decided to go for it.
That did indeed fix it and the led started working as it should..... Today however, they have stopped again. I haven't installed any other apps and a power cycle doesn't help.
Don't want to reset it again so am hoping they fix this soon.
Any news on this? Really missing led notification

I installed Light Manager and i seem to be getting lights, however im getting random notifications with a vibrate and light when there is in fact no notification.
Mine seem to come and go, they worked after the factory reset for a bit I then noticed that they had stopped .
Now they are working again.... Seems very strange.

I dont get any green light notifications while my phone is charging, i would at least expect the screen to come on.
Notification LED only works if your screen is off. The LED for charging will illuminate no matter if screen is off or on
