Hi, i've got the following question and/or issue. I use stock gingerbread 2.3.4 on my SE LWW and the notification LED behaviour is just weird. When i receive SMS message the LED blinks just one time after screen turns off and thats all. Same thing happens also for missed calls - just one single blink for about 1sec. The expected behaviour would be the LED blinking all the time until i turn on the screen or clear the notification from statusbar (it works that way for low battery warning). My question is - is that a correct behaviour in all SE LWW with stock 2.3.4 (.62 firmware)?
I've already tried LightFlow app from the market and it doesn't seem to work all ok. Sometimes it makes the LED to blink as it supposed to blink, but sometimes it makes it blink with ~2minutes delay and then stops blinking after about 1-2minutes.
Let me ask you that: did you maybe upgraded to ICS and then went back to GB?
If so, did you wipe data while downgrading to GB?
That could be the problem.
Nope. I've bought my LWW with stock 2.3.4 and haven't upgrade to ICS. The led behaves this way since i've bought that phone.
Then try a software repair with PC Companion. If that doesn't work, you should claim for your warranty.
So i guess in your LWW led was working normally in gingerbread (blinking all the time till the notification is cleared)?
I have a Mini, but as far as I know the LED works same way on LWW. Anyway, wait for someone to confirm that.
I've just asked sony's customer support how the notification LED should work in LWW and i'm kinda confused. I was told that LED works just fine in my LWW - it should stop blinking when screen is turned off. It would be great if someone with LWW could confirm this.
I think it was, that if you receive a notification, LED stays on until you turn the screen on. If you turn the screen off, LED stops, even if notification is still there.
I am not sure, I can't remember anymore on my LWW.
@Someguyfromhell
Thanks for reply! Well, my doesn't stay on at all. Lets say i've received a message or i missed a call (screen was off), then LED flashes only one time and thats all (i haven't turned the screen on).

Well that's what happens on Mini too. If the display is off when the SMS arrives, LED starts blinking. If you turn on the display, LED stops blinking even if you con't read the SMS. And if the SMS arrives with the display turned on, LED doen not blink at all.

same on my Stock 2.3.4 LwW as well.
I was just in the store where i've bought my LWW. I asked the seller if i could check the notification LED in other LWW. As i've thought it works just fine - when screen is turned off it flashes continously with green color. Seems like something is wrong with my LWW then... i'll try software repair in pc companion and if that doesn't help i'll claim for warranty.
Thanks for help!

Oh God, I told you to do that hours ago xD
Hopefully, everything will be fine
Yea i know that I just wanted to be sure how LED should work in LWW.
I've switched between ICS & Gingerbread many times. Now i'm on ICS. When i recieve any misscall LED beeps continuously, till removing the notification. but it doesn't happen for SMS or Email . I think its normal.

Just wondering on this, cos ive read on there that some people got theres working others not. Me i cannot get the LED to work with either handcent on k-9! Anyone? Any work arounds? Same problems? Would be interesting to know. I've flashed several times now and still nothing. x
My LED notifications work but only when the screen is off.
I have handcent set to wake up the screen when a message is received, as soon as the screen turns off the led starts flashing to tell me I've got an unread message.
When I set it not to turn on the screen the led lights up on receiving a message straight away.
I guess this is the way SE intended or the way 2.1 is meant to run...
Yer so someone said. but mines really not working lol. x
LED notifications work fine when the screen's off, this is how it's supposed to be
With K-9 works fine,includind the colors for each email account.
The LED not working for me too .. I even tried to test the LED in the Handcent and no LED was blinking
Any ideas XDAs ?
As far as I tested, notifications are working fine. But I never noticed LED was working only when screen off
Hello I am new to xDA and I'd like to say I am really impressed. With everything. From roms. Apps.themes.mods ect . Very impressed with gsb it is a incredible rom. My Droid Eris is awesome now although I am experiencing a small issue....when my phone. Is charging and I receive a txt and my led notification. Flashing green to tell me I got a text it will stop charging until I clear notificatin or read txt....how do I fix this?
Hmm, I noticed thw other day that the red 'charging' led stops when a notification (green) comes in. But I assumed that charging continued. Haven't had an opportunity to test it out.
Most of my led notifications are set to white (trackball) but I must have missed one. The Tball led works fine while charging last I checked.
Sent from my Eris ADR6200 using XDA Premium App
Charging stops when green notification flashes indicating I received a txt ànd stops my phone from charging. I did a complete wipe and reflashed gsb but still does it. My trackball don't seem to notify me of a txt

You need to go into settings->CyanogenMod settings->Interface->LED Notifications->Miscellaneous and choose the apps for which you want trackball notifications (by changing the flash color to white).
I'll have to try this. You are 100% sure that charging is stopped when this happens? The battery icon on the status bar stops showing charging? Settings->About phone->Status->Battery status shows "Not charging"?

Ok, I just changed my text messaging notifications to green, sent myself a text while it was charging, and it continued to charge.
Anyway, you can use the instructions in my last post to change all of your apps to white to get trackball flash, if that's what you want.
Hey man ur the best, worked perfectly! Awesome.
Another question....my camera has a crazy delay when I push to take a pic and. Eveñ the slightest movement. Causes a blur...is this fixable? Also my keyboard does a period at random and doès the long press function on its own resulting in characters. Such as some of the ones in this post as u can. Seé
I just noticed the same thing. The Orange LED turns off while charging when I get a text. But it turns back on the instant i press the red power button to wake my phone up to check it. I do not actually need to check the message.
I am sure it remains charging during this, but there is no way to check because it turns back on as soon as I activate the screen.

Yes, when I checked this earlier I had it plugged into a charger that turns off when the Eris stops drawing power (i.e., hits 100% charge). When I received a text and the LED was changed, it continued to charge. That's how I knew it was fine.
Hi, I'm running neutrino rom and I'm trying to find a way for the notification LED to blink even if the screen is on. How can I accomplish this? I've tried lightflow but the LED still only blinks when the screen is off.
I would like this function, since if I have my phone in the dock and the screen has gone to screensaver mode I can't look in the satusbar to see if I have a notification. And since the LED only blinks if the screen is off I have to touch the screen to check and I find that silly to have to do. Sometimes I forget and then hours later I find out a have had missed calls and texts.

I believe our phone is one of those that doesn't blink led with screen on. I know lightflow warns of this as does my handcent. Don't think its possible unless someone else proves me wrong.
that's strange. if I mess with the LED notifaction settings under Cyanogenmod setting I can test the LED notification while the screen is on. Somehow it must be possible.

Is that cm7 or 9? I noticed in 7 the settings just aren't there (for me anyway) to use led for anything other than system default. With 9 I noticed led functions totally different like the charging led working (love that!) So maybe its rom dependent.
I'm running Neutrino CM7. the LED notifcationsettigns are definetly there. maybe it is rom dependant. Does the LED work for you if the screen in on running CM9?

I honestly haven't had a chance to test that with cm9. I load the rom and test the things that I use most in order, wifi, camera. I don't get passed the camera issue on most. That's a bug I can't live with since I take tons of pics. I will try to remember to test it out next time I flash. Im on rc1 of 7 now getting ready to update to rc2, maybe there will be something there. Where did you find the settings for it in neutrino?
Just upgraded to cm7.2 rc2 and found the screen on led setting. Works great for me. Just wish I could get a charging solid led that goes off at 100% I got spoiled from my flipside I guess but its just so much nicer to not have to turn the screen on to verify full charge. Lightflow didn't work for me.
Hi, I saw that the led notification problem is not quite followed...
Is there a fix for this problem?
In ICS, the led shines only when a SMS, Whatsapp arrive, but doesn't keep shining after that...
Bug in the firmware. No fully working fix yet.
i only saw the led problem when reciving a SMS but only with the screen off if the screen is on the led starts flashing(in green duh) if i turn off the screen it keeps flashing, i have no idea if sony will release a little patch to resolve this but i hope so.
i asked by phone about this and only said me "donload a led app in the play store that should fix it" so o the guys on the phone don't know nothing o they don't care(i say both xD)
i'll try with an app to see if the problem persist then i'll tell what happened

(Miatoll board, curtana device. Talking about that little led in the speaker above the camera.)
Does the LED notification light not work?
Mine only ever shows when the phone is plugged in. I can't get it to flash when I have notifications, even though all settings in Android settings seem to be turned on
bump

did all that and made sure each app i want to notify had led notification...still no blink
Same here. No blink, all settings on
i got someone to message me while in the same room, screen popped up message etc, waited for screen to go into standy... still no blinking light.
Yeah I've done exactly the same test. Doesn't work
rom version is 11.0.6.0 could it be that..? no updates available when i checked today..or a faulty phone, does work when it's charging.
anyone have any joy yet, getting led to work
Not trying to self-promote but there appears to be many threads on this problem so I created a new thread so people can find a possible fix easier.
