Hi,
I picked up on something recently - it seems that if someone Whatsapps me then I get an SMS (or vice-versa) I only get the colour of the first notification I received. So for example, I have my light set to blue with Chomp SMS and green with Whatsapp and I would expect alternating green and blue pulses if I woke up to both; however I will only get blue if an SMS came through first or green for a Whatsapp. I've tried different messaging apps, including stock, to no avail. I've also tried an app called Light Manager which was supposedly designed for the S3 but this just confused my phone and seemed to stop both notification lights entirely.
I can't remember if this occurred before I installed Jellybean or if this is a side-effect because chiefly it is a query my girlfriend has with her new S3 and is not something that worries me too much. She wants to be able to glance at her phone at work and see what each notification is for. It was one of the primary selling points for her over the iPhone.
Can anyone tell me if they have this feature available to them on other firmwares or if they have found a way to make Whatsapp, Mail, SMS etc alternative on the device's LED rather than just sticking on the first colour that comes in?
Cheers folks.

Im on stock ICS.
Hallo,
i described the same problem almost in the Desire Generel Thread but that wasn't the right.
I have a HTC EVO 3D GSM and one big problem.
My notification bar scrolls down without any touch of my side. It scrolls down a little bit and stuck there so i cant do anything at this time because of the scrolled down notification bar. To fix that i can only lock the phone by pushing the power button and relock it again as usually. But after that the same problem begins. This problem starts at monday around 12 am.
At that time i had installed a cusom rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507616
The Kernel which i had installed was: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31376376&postcount=874
I thought it might be a problem with custom roms or something i decided to go back to stock rom, lock bootloader and unroot the phone. But the problem exists in the way i described above.
I went to stock by using goldcard and extract the rom.zip from the temporary file of a Shooter_RUU of HTC Gingerbread. After that i installed the official HTC ICS Software.
Now i installed a app of the Playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=multitouchpro.tests&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsIm11bHRpdG91Y2hwcm8udGVzdHMiXQ..
There i can see, that i have two fingers of the display (red and blue). No Problem but after a short time two other circles came to display but i dont touch that. They are in that area of display where the notification bar is to find (with 2 circles green and yellow).
What can i do!? Is there anyone who can help me to fix that terrible problem? I dont know how i can fix that.
If nothing can help, can i give that phone to my local electronic retailer and he dont notes that the phone was one day unlocked and rooted and there was a custom rom installed?
Best regards,
Marc
Hi there,
Has any of you have any luck changing the color (and/or blinking behavior) of the notification led (e.g. when an sms is received)?
On my CM7'ed Desire I had full control - e.g. from Go SMS - but with this Desire X I'm stuck with the default green blinking.
I just rooted and flashed Elegancia on today, hoping that would put me (or the apps, actually) in control, but no...
BR,
Egholm
I believe there are apps that will let you change your LED on your phone.
Sent from my GSM Galaxy Nexus
Only two colors on Desire X if I remember correctly.
Why would you want to change the colour. Maybe i am missing something .:cyclops:Green seems ok and orange when charging is also ok.
hi
Missed call or SMS -LED flashes only 5min.This is the problem.
ORA1: It's annoying that when I leave the phone at home, and a notification-event occurs that I don't hear, I cannot see from the LED which event happened (remember I didn't hear, I just glance at the phone every and so often when I pass it). Then it's super nice to be able to see if it is a missed call, an SMS, an email, and so and so forth.
Also, the standard blinking behavior - blinking briefly every 1-1.5 seconds - is silly. It requires starring at the phone for a second to judge if an event is there. A constant LED is much nicer.
That's why
Klapo, yeah, but mixing the red with the green, you get an orange So, three colors, and if I could control the blinking, that's infinite combinations ;P
Obj261, after trying different apps, I stumbled over "Light Flow 3.5.2 (lite)". Its the only one that I've seen being able to control the LED succesfully. But obviously I'm too stupid to make it work (consistently) beyond the "testing capabilities" from within the app
I hoped that others have had this need, as well :/
I would just want to know if it's RGB or just green/orange.
I would love to control it via LightFlow but the hardware must support it first.
katman4, it's only green, orange and red.
(But still I haven't found the magic setting in lightflow that makes it work consistently, so be aware of that)
Now someone can design an app that when you have a notification of any sort the whole screen flashes in a colour.
Cant be too difficult for one of the boffins to design:good::good::good::good::victory::victory:
Just got a refurbished ATT HTC One X+, right away unlocked bootloader, twrp recovery, flashed latest colored version elegancia rom to be right back to where i was. Everything is fine but noticing the green led notification light is buggy!
When i get a missed call the green led light just stays full lit, does not blink just stay on until i check my device and after i see the missed call the green light finally turns off.
When i get a text message it blinks like normal. When i wake up the device though the green led stays fully lit and does not turn off until i check the new text message.
When i get a new e-mail i get ZERO led notification light!
Problem is that i didn't mess with this device when it came in the mail to see if it was working before so have nothing to compare it to. I do install the rom with full wipe to be safe and everything else seems to be working as it should. I'm sure i could try a full factory reset but just hate to erase everything from SD card and go through all that so saving that as a last resort option.
I do have under settings all the stock settings and using stock HTC messaging app and dialer/phone. Under LED notifications all are checked but not working as it should.
Not sure if there is a fix someone could direct me too or just got a bunk refurbished device? Trying to now get ANOTHER refurbished device replacement but will create another thread on that.
Anyone having notification issue some time whatsapp and other msg notification not showing
You probably get them but they don't stay on the screen long enough for you to know you have one. That's my biggest complaint about the One Plus. The notification should stay on the screen until acted upon. Is it so hard to leave an envelope or text icon on the screen until seen?
