It seems to work just fine for me, just like it did in 1.8.3.

mine does not.. I just tested using Go SMS Pro and it fails to show up.. that's a slight inconvenience
It has been working normal for me, so definitely not something affecting everyone.
I haven't tested it with any third party apps, maybe that's the problem.

my led works, but when you turn on the phone the led doesn't turn green like it used to do.
by the way, this started to appear just after unlock, the hktw build has got nothing to do with it!

same here.. the phone doesn't start with a green notification; however, i just sent myself a text message and it is blinking green.
not sure what is going on with others' phones.
The notification light doesn't work for me as well ._.
I sent a text message to my phone and got it but the notification light isn't working.
Probably a long shot but worth trying I guess
For all those people for whom LED lights are not working, do you have it enabled in Settings?
works for me!

May I ask where that setting is? I looked in Display and it was not there.
Didn't see any lights on my 2.3.4!
the same hope update
Yes. I noticed mine doesn't light up as like it used to back in Froyo. In fact, the only time it would light up is during power on from cold. All the light up when charged to 90%, blinking when there's an sms, all not working anymore.
I just updated my atrix to 2.3.4 since yesterday and the notification light is not working anymore.
Mine didn't work after upgrade to 2.3.4 Was going to backup and do the factory reset, but when I use myBackup to backup the Data (contacts, settings, etc.) the LED for the notification came back, except the full charge notification light.
(googled and found that some people has the same problem with Droid when upgraded to GB, some of them suggested to clean application cache to get it working)
I don't want to do the factory reset, so will keep looking for the solution.
it works
ATT4.5.91
I just updated my Atrix to 2.3.4 yesterday and it works the same as it always did.
Mine works as before too with only one exception. The LED does not come and stay on when the phone is plugged in and fully charged. This is actually a welcome change to me.

Any cm7 LED torch app?
What have you tried already?
Typically I use the Tesla LED flashlight and that doesn't seem to be working.
I would think that whatever works with the Nexus S should work with the Fascinate though I cannot confirm this.
I've tried
I've tried telsa led on my phone but that doesn't work. I know the led works cuz it works with the camera app as flash. I have tried downloading all the free flash light apps but non seem to work.
I seem to remember someplace in the not so distant past that someone had it built into the CM6 for use. Perhaps that could be done. For now I am not all that worried as JT is making incredible progress with the CM7 build he is working on.
I will poke around a little more myself before I call it one way or the other though.
Ive tried every single flashlight app I could find and none work. Its weird cuz the flashlight apps see the LED but when i turn it on it doesnt turn the LED on. I love the cm7 builds and this is the last thing I would love to have working. Thanks for your help so far tho!
I use devuni.flashlight works great.

That's the app I used on com rom 2.1. But threw cm7 it doesn't work. Norm883 does it work for you on the latest build of cm7
I just tried it & its a no-good for me on cm7.

Well it is good to know it's not just me or my phone. Hopefully when cm7 gets updated it will work this issue out. It's not a big deal but it is always nice to have a flashlight with you.
At the risk of being Captain Obvious here, if the LED function isn't working at the moment, most flashlight apps can also just turn your screen bright white and that's plenty bright too.
I use and would recommend Tiny Flashlight + LED as, unlike TeslaLED, there's only one version and it's free -- you don't need to buy a donate version just to get basic functionality like the screen light (unless TeslaLED has changed that, anyways).
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.devuni.flashlight
Also, you can get the pure white screen through a function in CM7. If you activate the power control widget there is an option to add a button for enabling the flash light (white screen). This doesn't help you with using the LED but for the time being until this function is added it is a nifty little feature that gives you some light with one push of a button.
Guess I'll stock with the white screen for now. It's still pretty bright but ya just can't best the led. Well thank you all for your help.
I built this from CM source a month ago, its not 100% but it works on TW builds at least. Don't try to use any of the strobe options and I've also had some strange things happen occassionally where the flashlight would turn on when I received a call.

I tried and it won't even install for me. I'm on the 0704 build of CM7 with the OTB kernel.
Still unable to find a flashlight app that makes the LED run...
I tried about 4 of them from the Market yesterday but none operated the camera flash LED. That includes one that says it is made for the Nexus, which I thought would work but did not.
TeslaLED always worked for me. Though, I have yet to test it on the new CM7.
Definitely worth a try though. GL

BLINKING BUTTON NOTIFICATION for 354, 360, and GS2.4b3 Dell Streak ROMs
UPDATE (2011/10/20) v0.999
Uploaded blinking button notification patch version 0.999, for ROM 354, 360, and GingerStreak 2.4 beta 3. Drop support for ODEX-ed ROMs as it seems impossible to update with ODEX-ed framework on ROM 354.
Download the correct version for your ROM below:
Update.zip v0.999 for DEODEX-ed ROM 354 and 360
Update.zip v0.999a for GingerStreak 2.4 beta 3
UPDATE: Confirmed working as tested by zero410
Changelog (0.999)
- Fixed screen turned on during LED blinking. Screen will never turn on neither lit when blinking the notification!
- The 3 capacitive buttons cannot be used to stop notification anymore. The phone needs to be unlocked with power button to do so.
- Prevent button LED blinking on proximity sensor activation during phone calls.
PS: The most ideal, elegant, and power-friendly solution for enabling backlight buttons for use on notificaiton LEDs are, still, loadable kernel modules. The patch will never reaches version 1.0, unless it is implemented as kernel module, in the future.
UPDATE (2011/10/16) v0.91
Uploaded blinking button notification patch version 0.91, for GingerStreak 2.4 beta 3.
Changelog (0.91)
- Fixed blinking to disable when USB is connected between 8:00 PM to 4:00 AM.
The feature wasn't working before.
ORIGINAL POST v0.9
What is it?
I would like to have a notification LEDs like the ones found on BBs. Unfortunately, Streak didn't came with any (hardware) notification light. I've tried several notification solutions but still not satisfied. Heck, I'm not even satisfied on how Froyo handles notification LEDs! Hence breaking in the Android framework, and the resulting update.zip
This update will patch your Streak so it will now blinks the button(s) backlights whenever an application puts *any* notification icon on the status bar. That's right, the patch won't care whether notification asks for light or not. It'll just blink it! The update also (of course, priority requirements!) notifies and blinks missed calls.
How to use
0) Always do nandroid backups! You can just restore the system image if anything goes wrong.
1) You'll need to know whether your ROM version 360 is deodexed or not. If you don't, then most often it's the odexed stock ones. Grab the correct update patch in the attachments.
2) My Streak is rooted. But there is no requirements for root privileges on the updates. So I think it should work on non-rooted phone. Hopefully.
3) Clear /data/dalvik-cache contents before flashing. Sometimes it needs clearing, but sometimes it don't
4) Boot into StreakMod and flash the proper Update.zip package.
5) Restart. As usual, on deodexed systems, replacing files will cause some longer boot time as the update is odex-ed during the boot process. Be patience.
6) Lock the screen, let the screen timeout, or whatever.
7) Get notified on any notification icons and missed calls
8) Congrats! You can now busy playing with your (better) other phones and keep Streak laying on the desk without even touching it!
Features
+ Blinking keypad backlight notification for any applications that provides notifications with icon when the screen is turned off.
+ Missed call notifications, too.
+ One-press power button to clear blinks. You can use any of the three capacitive button, also. Cool!
+ Blinking is disabled when ringer is in vibrate mode. Useful when Streak is in your pocket and blinking it would be useless.
+ Automatically disables blinking when charger is plugged in, after 8:00 PM and before 4:00 AM. Useful when you wanted to hibernate, together with your phone, you phone!
It should be able to be re-enabled manually through notification icon, but unfortunately the feature isn't working (yet!)
TODOs and glitches
- LCD blinks before the first blink, and keeps awake -- albeit with zero brightness -- while blinking. Cannot solve without custom kernel (or custom drivers?)
- Tapping the notification for "Button blinking disabled" does not clears the notification nor re-enable blinking.
Somehow I can't capture the Intent sent from NotificationManagerService itself. Oh well, probably will be important for people who works midnight and slept in the afternoon!
- Inconsistent behaviour on clearing missed calls notification and other notification types.
If you did not answer call while LCD screen is on, next lock screen will cause missed calls notifications blinking. The notification on the status bar had to be cleared before locking the screen.
- It is not known how much battery drain does leaving the phone blinking all the time costs!
- Can't imagine doing all over again on this on Galaxy Note. Maybe I'll just skip that!
Happy blinking!

Hi,
Will be trying Fards' and DJ_Steve's latest GingerStreak 2.4 later tonight. There seems to be very positive response on the system stability on the release.
I wouldn't mind having my own Gingerbread build for that kernel including the feature. If so, I would plan to extend with additonal Settings for Gingerbread that gives you more control on the blinks
I am also thinking of another possibility to run Gingerbread on Streak, but will check their latest release to see whether it's stable enough for production uses.
Will check them after trying GingerStreak 2.4
Cheers
UPDATE: Flashed GingerStreak 2.4 and it is indeed very promising. There might be something on the pipeline though, as stated on the wallpaper

Well there are some reasons why I'm not keen to use the StreakLED:
1) I don't like to have a service hanging around wasting my RAM for something that should've (and is, actually) been built into the system.
2) The modification for Blinking Button notification works of framework level and hijacks all notifications. Any app that attempts to show notification on the status bar will be blinked
But I've just re-read StreakLED's entire thread and thinking. Probably it would be good to have a LED that stays lit instead of blinking to get better power saving, after blinking for sometimes, say 1 hours.
The unresolved problem seems to be the way to just "wakeup" the backlight buttons instead of the entire LCD screen. If anyone knows how to wakeup just the backlight buttons, then power problems should be solved. Haven't got luck with writing "power:blablabla:wakeup" on /sys/leds/button-backlight/power/wakeup.
Looking forward to see the beta on GB

Yes I know (I did accidentally during testing it. It seems like a harmless bug in the backlight driver), but it's for keeping the button backlight lit during screen off.
But why would you want led on all the time with screen on? We are going to let backlight stay lit after an hour to preserve lcd power?

It has potential but as of now I went back to streak led. On my device it seems that screen stays on for ever. Also when you make a call the screen would turn on and stay on regardless of proximity sensor because there is a notification in the notification bar while talking. Just letting you know. Thanks for your involvement in development.

So I am wondering if there is a way to turn off the LED lights within Tasker? I have a night profile where it turns down all the sounds, vibrations, etc etc but noticed last night that the LED light was flashing for some emails I had come in. I had a look in the tasker settings but I couldn't see any that would disable the LED?
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas?
OK, I shall keep up this conversation with myself (the voices in my head make me feel like it's a normal conversation with others though ). I found the setting in tasker to turn off the led - it's in the audio section and it's called 'notification pulse'. In my night profile I have now set that to 'off' but it made no difference and any emails during the night had the led flashing
You can use Light Flow to disable notifications at a certain time, plus you can do a lot of customisation.
You need root.

I reckon, you don't need root w light flow, but other than that bortak is absolutely right. Light flow does all that and perfectly.
Yes, you are totally right. I have installed and uninstalled lightflow a few times already. While it does do that for me, it's just not quite working right. I kept on having a notification light flashing after dismissing or viewing a notification. It just wouldn't stop flashing. That was bugging me more than the extra features I got out of the app, so I've removed it again.

this is because you havemt set the "clear notification style" parameter. set it to 'screen on'. so that once you wake up the screen al notifications are cleared and u wont see that blink again. Normally it is set to 'app entered', where you have to go to the app (or the phone and click on the missed call etc). set it to what I told to all your notifications.
Thanks. I'll take another look at that. I thought I had it set that way but wouldn't be surprised to see I was wrong. I do think that I'd tried entering the app as well when it wouldn't clear, and still wouldn't.

Thanks rootSU. I had found that, but it doesn't seem to be working on the S3. I found the tasker google group and some similar problems exist there. One is having the same problem as me, and another I think is trying to turn the led on but it's not working; all S3's. Maybe tasker isn't optomised for this on the s3 yet?
I've found lightflow to be hit or miss. Sometimes the led keeps flashing even when the notification is dismissed (have checked my settings, even tried different ones), and the day before flashing for sms's stopped working. Even a reboot didn't fix it. So, I lived without the led's on my S1 and I'll do the same here. I had them on last night and kept waking to a notification of some kind and found that too annoying.
Thanks for the help and suggestions guys. Appreciate it.
Just a widget 1 click to switch would be perfect for me.

Don't suppose anyone's come up with any more ideas about this? I have emailed the tasker developers and I don't think they were 100% sure, but didn't think the notification pulse setting was for disabling the led's completely. I still try playing with lightflow every now and then, but the little bugs I have (mostly sms notification led not dismissing without reboot or entering lf app (only thing that works is having manual dismissal but it's a pain)) are still present for me. I also tried it with handcent but was getting no led notifications.
Hey guys,

Hi, any easy way to disable the bright green light when plugged in?
Well I know that when you get a notification when its on, the light will go off after you dismiss the notification. You can always just send yourself a quick text. lol. But the light color is set by how the battery is. So if you are at 50 percent or so, once the light is off, it will come back on when it hits the next battery stage, if that makes sense. For example, at 50 percent, the light will be yellowish. At about 80, maybe, it will turn green. So when it decides to go to the next color, it will come on again. Just trying to give you an understanding of how the light works. lol.
There are apps that let you control the light. I have tried LEDs hack but it got my hard key lights stuck on with ICS. I think there is another one calls light flow or something like that that may help.
Sorry for the long response. lol
Thank you jsgraphicart,
I did not notice the changing colors. I'll try out the text thing.

I just came across that setting. That should work for when you want it off at night. But you need to turn it back on to get the LED to display for notifications again. I might use this at night now. Thanks.
So in Alpha 5, you have the option of turning off the notification during "quiet hours". Disable notification LED from 10pm to 5am or whatever.

I'm using Lightflow and it's working as usual for me. Didn't have to do anything special to make it work.
Thanks for the input guys.
Turns out that me LED indicator setting under was turned off. I believe i dud that SetdudLdudevice on initial setup, thinking i was turning off charging LEDs, and that LF had its own control.
I'm good to go now, and feeling a bit embarrassed ...
Anyone else having problems with the LED being shut off after notifications are dismissed? I have all my Light Flow notifications set to stop after I clear the notification from the notification bar. But it's not working. I'll try contacted the developer.
Weird, not had that one.
But I have noticed several problems with Lightflow. I have contacted the developer, but no respose as of yet.
With Lightflow, things I've noticed is:
1) When added a new Notification, if you test it, the LED colour does not match the one you've selected. But it'll still work for the notification.
2) Colours in the Cyan range don't seem to be replicated corretly - but I don't think that's to do with lightflow. One my phone (SM-910F in black) there's a fine, wire mesh kind of pattern over the surface of the phone, which covers the LED. Seems to distort what colour comes out.
If I look really closely, I can see a hint of the correct colour if that makes sense. Not sure how a developer could sort that out, as the program is probably working correctly.
Pretty much Sea Green, turqoise, teal, light green all seem to come out as Light blue. Even using the hex manually still results in this. Same with Light manager too. Really really annoying!
Of course it could just me my old eyes playing tricks one me!
3) Sleep mode doesn't quite work properly. If you set it to disable vribrate only, and leave everything else on, it disables everything, not just vibrate. A small issue, but hey, I'd like to use the feature.
Apart from that, it works perfectly. So nice not to have to switch on accesability to get it to work
