Hi all, is there a way to make the notification blink more like stock? coming from a Droid 1/2Global it blinked until you looked... The rezound only blinks like 3 times.
Do I need to install an ASOP rom to get this, or is there a way to do it non-root?
It all depends on the app. My SMS notifications blink forever in Go SMS.
Mine blinks until the email/text/Facebook alert has been addressed.

I like having the notification LED. I've customized it with Light Flow and it works great. The only issue is that the LED doesn't do anything when the screen is on. Is there any way to get the notification LED to work when the screen is on?
Might I ask why you need it on constantly? Is it just for looks?

Yes there is, and your half way there. In LightFlow, general settings, check compatibility mode, check run as root. The light will stay on now even when the screen is on. The trade off is you only have 3 colors now.
I don't want it on constantly. I just always want it to blink when I get an Call/SMS/email, even when the screen is on.
And thanks for the info, WiredPirate. I guess I can take away the Battery Charge colors so I just have SMS, Gmail, and Missed Call.
Okay, now I have a new issue. The Compatibility Mode Light Flow notifications work just how I want them to...until the phone is plugged in. When the phone is on the charger, the notification LED ignores Light Flow and reverts to the default notification colors (green for charging, white for missed call, cyan for SMS, and yellow for Gmail). Is there any way to get Light Flow to take over when the phone is plugged in? Or am I out of luck here?
And now I'm confused. So, disregarding Light Flow, the Atrix's notification LED only works when the phone is plugged in and charging? That's stupid.
so for some reason the blue led showing that I have a new message is staying lit up... I have no new messages though... any clue why?

I do not know why it would stay on, but does the issue persist after a reboot?
EDIT: Also, is it SOLID or blinking?
The light is solid. rebooting, rebooting, rebooting.... it does NOT persist after a reboot... this is not the first time I have noticed it, just the first time I have noticed it where I could post and ask about it... but once I recieve a new text message, it will come on solid. Once I read it it seems to be staying on solid after that. but only when I turn off the screen. if I wake the phone the light goes off...
Ninja Edit... just uninstalled handcent and am back to using the stock Messenger app... prefer the black background I had in handcent, but so far the light hasnt got stuck on yet.... and now it is green for a new message instead of blue.... Hmm... as long as it works I guess right?
As long as it works.

After trying all of the popular SMS apps, I too have found my phone just works better with the stock messaging app. Go figure!
Are you using Light Flow?

I have noticed the blue light, which on my phone is mms, stays on as well. I use handcent, and won't give it up. I have found that by going into the stock messaging app, and selecting the last sent message will clear the light. It is a minor inconvenience, but I will gladly accept it in order to use handcent.

Just playing with lightflow it seems the photon can do blue, pink, orange, cyan, red, and green. All the other colors seem to be very close to or the same as a color listed above.

There was an update for Handcent this morning that was suppose to fix the LED issue.
My photon hasn't had this problem and i use Handcent exclusively.
Just throwing the update out there, i remember reading the LED fix in the release notes.

Thanks. i will give it a try with the update.
Does the light on the front of the phone suppose to blink for new notifications? And if so how long? I have been reviewing multiple texts and emails and no light. Any advice.. It does light up when charging though.

It does not flash for any notifications, Only lights up whilst charging, It's the same for all wp7 phones until it's incorporated into a custom rom maybe?
This is my second Titan. My first had to replace for a screen issue. But I could of sworn it would blink when receiving notifications. It does say notification light in manual though. Lol

the green light only shows up (blinking) on missed calls afaik.
When i turn off the Screen of my S3, the notification LED starts flashing red continuously... battery is charged and there are no missed calls either... why is it flashing?
Hmm... Have you looked, to see if you have any e-mails, SMS or anything comparible?
If yes, that would answer your question
If the mobile is charging you will get red notification . You can turn it off from led settings if you dont want it

The title probably says it all. Now before I get attacked saying there are already options for it... you're only half wrong.
There are options for missed calls, emails, and something else. What I am looking for is and app or mod that will allow the back led to function for messaging, Facebook, Skype. That sort of thing.
I have 0 experience in programming and wouldn't even know where to begin. I frequently have my phone face down as I keep it in a case with holster combo most of the time. It would be awesome if that led worked for all events so I don't have to constantly check my phone.
I have verizon, I'm not 100% sure if the att, t-mobile and international versions can do the same.
Asking a dev to help me out and I hope I am not the only person requesting this.
Thanks.

Are you rooted? Have you tried something like lightflow?

Not rooted. I've looked at some of the market apps to control led's. But most say they don't work at all on lg devices besides the nexus

[REQ] Rear notification light (power button) for all notifications?
Didn't get much attention. Hoping this thread is more successful.
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk 2
Got Light Flow to activate power button led on incoming text. It just required turning on the 1st and last LEDs on the list of additional LEDs found by Light Flow (not sure which one did the trick) and setting Light Flow to work via root access.
But there were problems After receiving the text message and seeing the power button led illuminate, the screen would not respond to Knock On and would turn on for a moment upon pressing the power button but turn off almost immediately.

Well thanks for being brave and taking a hit for the team. Hope you didn't have to restore from recovery to get beyond that? I suspect one of those LEDs is the one Promising.

I had the exact same problem when I tried using Light Flow to setup different color LEDs. Thankfully, if you can actually get the screen to stay on you can uninstall (or change settings) Light Flow to fix the problem. I had someone call me so the screen would stay on.
