I just bought a HTC Desire Z two days ago, and was wondering about the notification light, as there are TWO in the desire Z
my question is, should the top notification light goes on when I recieve a notification, or only the bottom one will light up?
and if it's only the bottom one, how can I make the top one light up too? and in different colors, like in my friends HTC G1, he has blue, green, and red
thx for your time!
On my stock ROM (see my signature), the trackpad light blinks if you turn on that notification, but it's only every 10 seconds or so, and I actually never noticed it originally and thought it wasn't working at all. It doesn't blink the power LED.
However, I use the "Led Me Know" app from the market, and you can configure that to blink either the top LED or the trackpad LED, depending on how you set it up.
You can't make the trackpad LED blink different colours unfortunately, this was looked into a while back. The top one is limited to amber or green.

ok, thx alot for the fast reply
I used LED Me Know. Works fine for the LED, but it often overrides (e.g.) my Gmail notification sound with the standard notification sound I have for messages. Or it just plays both notification sounds. I hate that, and there's no option to activate or deactivate it messing with the sounds.
Does this happen to you too?

Sorry I don't use Gmail notification and I haven't tried playing with the sounds. I suggest contacting the developer about it, he responded quickly to me when I contacted him before.

You can disable the g-mail notifications and let the app do it's own thing...
One weird thing I have noticed with the app is that it delays the notifications... Like first it disables the notification for any texts... and it pretty much waits out the time that it would have taken for the notification (vibrations) and then follows through with the notification you selected in the app settings. So pretty much I see the LED blinking for like 5 seconds before I get any audible or vibrating notification.
EDIT: I also realize that this is very poorly worded and hard to follow, But I can't think of any other way to say it so bear with me!! XD
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.
I'm just wondering if notification lights are supposed to turn off after I wake up my phone. I'm currently using Cyanogenmod 10 Nov 4th build.
For example, when I get a text message, my notification light turns on and starts blinking purple (that's my setting I put)
When I turn on my phone, the light disappears. But if don't check my notification and lock my phone again, the notification light doesn't appear.
I was just wondering if this is supposed to happen as if I remember correctly from the stock Samsung Touchwiz ROM, the notification light would stay on until I check the notification and clear it from the tray.
If it's supposed to be like that, is there a way to change it so be more like Samsung's way of dealing with notifications.
Thank you so much in advance!
Does anyone know how to have the notification light blink when the screen is on?
I put my phone into a dock to use as an alarm clock, which keeps the screen on.
The problem is, when I get texts, etc, the notification light won't blink. Is there a fix for this? Thanks
No it is impossible it wil only blink with the screen off but just change the settings that your screen will go off after some time in tour dock

When I get a calendar notification my screen turns on and when its in my pocket it stays on. How do I stop this? A notification sound only would be fine.
i'm assuming you're on stock and using the stock calendar. unfortunately the only way to turn that off is by ticking notifications off in the notification settings. by doing this it turns off ALL (ringtone, vibrate, icon in status bar) of your notifications.
you could look into a 3rd party calendar app and see if this is an issue.
Simply lower your screen timeout time.
