Is it possible that when i receive an sms / text message the top LED starts to flicker instead of the bottom one? I'm really looking to this as i find it more convenient that the top one starts to flicker.
Does anyone have the answer?
Well I don't know how you go about setting it, or even if you can, but they do work, depending on what ROM you use. If you use a Sense ROM then the LED will blink fine. On Vanilla ROMs they won't. With some of the older AOSP ROM's around you used to get a static LED, amber/green for sms/gmail notifications. With the latest CyanogenMod based ROMs you don't get anything. Only the trackball pulses, which is cool.
However, Elemag has claimed to have the LEDs working on his new ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708673
Is it possible to have the mozart's LED flash when there is a new SMS?
I often have my phone sitting on my desk, and don't notice a new SMS...
Cheers
I agree, that would be good, or if it exists or is in progress, an app such as the Trackball Notification app i had on my Nexus, or Kaiser Notification if anyone remembers that.
agree.. flashing lights notification for sms and e-mail would be great.. why only stop at missed calls..

I've read in many rewiews of the phone that this problem will be fixed with next upgrade of WP7, stay tuned!
Is there a way to stop the screen coming on when i get a text? ....
I realize that the SGII does not have the LED Notification and this is a feature I have loved from the Blackberry to the Motorola Atrix. I even tried to switch from ATT to Sprint for the new Touch 4G SGII with Notification LED but Sprint sucks in my area but the screen SOLD ME!!!
Anyway now that ATT will have the SGII I plan to get one I love the screen but how are you getting past no notification LED. I don't want to constantly be powering on the display to make sure I haven't missed an audible notification. Does the SGII offer ab option for a recurring notification sound? Just don't want to walk away from my phone while its charging and miss a message. I have one of those jobs where I am required to respond to emails in 15 minutes....

How to deal with Absence of LED Notification
therapy
Why not use a kernel with BLN. That is what i use as a substitute.
It turns the buttons into notification lights.
Search BLN in this forum, stands for Blacklight Notification. Some Kernels support it. It uses the back and menu button as a blinking indicator
NoLED is another alternative. It works without rooting.
Do note that NoLED will drain your battery like crazy if you don't "confirm" the notification.
The phone will not enter sleep-mode while a notification is going on. For me: rather useless. For somebody else: might just work as expected
I've used both BLN and Noled.
BLN will drain my S2 no matter what. I prefer Noled as it flexible and allows me to configure my notifications to my likings to minimize battery drain.
I use BLN and I'm pretty happy with it. Battery life is still very good, can't even tell if BLN drains that much. Haven't tried NoLED so far so I can't really say anything about it.
I use NoLED. I have noticed on occasion it has drained the battery somewhat, but I usually access the phone long before it becomes an issue. I like the fact that it uses custom icons for different events.
Tons of apps on the market that can play sounds at a certain period, reminding you of missed sms/calls/emails. I'm not a fan of led notifications, i'd rather use sound notifications.
Ninpo's kernel is BLN enabled and can be used with any samsung ROM. Install free version BLN controls app and you are good to go.
hello friends,my radar doesn't work the led notification in sms.it work in calls and charging by the way.is the phone general works like this,is a setting or my phone is damaged?thank you!!!
??????????????
Hi, your phone is working properly, i don't know why, but LED notifications are not activated for sms or emails, and by now, it can't be changed, maybe in the future with cooked rooms we can configure them as we want.
ok!hope to a good custom rom!
Hi,
I created an app that will let an Xperia S/P/U light up the illumination bar when there is an unread SMS or a missed call.
Available at Google Play if you search for "Illumination Bar Notification"
link
For U model there is multi color support, and for S/P there is only the one color supported by the hardware.
The LEDs can either blink at various speeds or have a constant light.
There is an option to stop the light when the screen is unlocked or keep blinking until the SMS has been read or the call has been acknowledged.
I have only an Xperia U to develop on, but it has been tried on S/P as well.
If you have any problems let me know and I'll try to fix it.
Thanks to user sl1nk3 that figured out there was an API we can use.

*** Running on custom ROMs ***
If you run CyanogenMod or other firmware not from sony you may need to install additional libraries for this app to work.
First option: IlluminationReceiver
This solution works for all devices with illumination bar (S/P/U/SP) and does not require any sony libs at all:

This is just what I've been waiting for. Thanks a lot! Will try it now
Edit. Working great! In a future update, could you add the feature to disable it after a pre-set time? Believe it will drain battery after some time

This is nice. Could you make it blink? and can you make it for email as well?
Thanks very much.
Good man I was waiting on an app like this.
edit:
can you add an option to leave the illumination light always on when the screen is on. I like to have it on when it is dark so that I can see where the buttons are. Thanks
only white colour :-(

It has option to blink already.
There is no standard android way for apps to be notified for incoming e-mails, so adding e-mail support would likely mean having to implement a full e-mail client.
Maybe there is another way, but not that I know of.

That is probably doable, but I think it would be best to have that in its own app, since it is not related to notifications
Dude!!! I'm Not Gay, But I LOVE YOU!!! U Gave The Proper Meaning Of Sony's This STYLE ICON!!!
These are the things I would like to have for future update!!!
1-Stop the blinking after certain time period (for battery backup)
2-Notification for
A-CHARGE COMPLETE (as this wont drain the battery,and keep it cool)
B-Whatsapp notification
3-Please change the icon of this app (add a cool one for this cool phone)
4-Low rate of blinking should be much lower I think (like each blink after 5 sec)
5-If its possible blink in different style (disco,rhythmic...etc)
THANK YOU AGAIN, I REALLY LOVE TO SEE THIS IS INSTALLED WITHOUT MODDING OR ROOTING MY PHONE!!!
THANK YOU!!!
The app is pretty buggy for me.
sometimes it works "lighting up" but sometimes it doesnt even light up and instead it makes my screen lights up -.-
i like it when my screen is pitch black when i receive something.
please fix and will reconsider downloading.
thankyou
I would love to see the source code for this if you would like to release it. I had been working on a version of it myself, but I only just started android programming.
Also if you need a cool icon I can make you one. PM me
id just figured out whats the bug is.
1) a- it doesnt light up when you check "stop light when screen is unlocked"
the screen goes on and the led strip stops flashing.
b- and sometimes it doesnt light up until the second msg comes in or calls
c- overtime when just received a text or two the screen turns on as well as the led strip lights up, then somehow the screen turns on like every 10 secs or so. (not receiving anything)
2) like i said before please make the screen stay off when receiving any notifications. my screen goes on after i installed this app.
3) please include whatsapp and email for it.
thankyou really appreciate your work here. well done
Oh looks so great!, i thank you for this kind of worf as other request i dont want integration with other apps, just that the led stops blinking after a certain time
Looks great, but as the notification bar isn't very bright I would also like to see the notification LED continuing to blink as well.
Also, would be great if emails can be included.
Thx man, continue to develop it for more stuff (not only msg, and calls).
I will consider some donation then ;-)

Not sure why but it does nothing until I unlock the screen.

Thanks for this! Works great!
Great app man!!
In the future, could it be possible to have custom flash rate? I think even the "slow" setting is quite fast.
Suprised this feature was left out at launch. But thankyou for this app!
Works great!
sent from my Xperia S
Great app! Really something that should have been there from the start!
What I would like to change are the following:
* no screen turn on when you receive an sms or call
* email support (for some)
* timeout - after the timeout it would switch to the notification led it's using now.
I'm not sure yet, but does the low battery standard notification still work? Or do you have to turn it off completly for this to work?
In a way a really like to think that this should only be used for calls, messages and emails.. maybe even not emails.. It should diferentiate itself from other notifications.. so this could only be used for those that you have to instanlty reply.. like messages and calls.. But I would still use the blue notifications for facebook, green for emails and red/orange for low battery. I think that this is how both things should work together.
Really great, light and cool app!!
But like some guys, my screen turn on when I receive an SMS
Moreover, sometimes the vibrations bugs: normaly, it's like "brrrrr, brrrrr" but sometimes I have "brr..." so in my pocket, it's not really noticiable
