Hiya All,
I have two questions regarding the Jam led:
1. In normal operation the LED flashes under green color around each 7 seconds. Is there anyway to shorten the interval to around 4 seconds ?
2. When an appointment is secheduled, the notification window pop ups and display the appointment detials. After I'm dismissing the notification window, the LED still flashes with yellow color and only SR can resume the LED to its green light. Is there any way after dismissing the appointment to resume the LED to green light again ?
Thanks in advanced,
Bright Star
hehe i can't even see the difference between these two colors.
flashing blue would be nice
1. There's no way of changing the flashing interval.
2. Check your settings under Sounds & Notifications - Reminders - Flash light for...
Thanks for the interval info...
However, when I'm going into notification settings and removing the flash list for missed calls or new sms messages, after approving the new settings, it's always coming back to default.
Any ideas how to fix this ?
Thanks in advance,
Bright Star
default to what?
Defualt to flash light and notification on the Start line...
Anyway to remove all notifications such as missed calls, incoming sms and voice mail from the Start line ?

Yeh mine seems to sometimes get 'stuck' on flashing the orange light, even if you've dismissed the alert. It does it for some SMS's when on vibrate mode, and some reminders on normal mode.
You can fix SMS's by going into Sounds & Notifications, clicking the 2nd tab then ok. I've found no way to fix it for reminders other than SR.
Annoying!
Noone found why the led can't be flashing any faster?

I have just picked up my XDA exec and am just getting used to it. I have an issue with the green/amber notification light.
When I receive a text message the light changes from green (service indicator) to flashing amber...good so far. I then open the text and the light returns to flashing green (still good so far). I reply to the text message and I receive back the "Text Message Sent" notification. This causes the light to flash amber again, but this time I am unable to return it to green. I dismiss the notification and still it is flashing amber.
I can only clear this by going into "sounds & notifications" and exiting out, this seems to clear the light. What am I doing wrong? Does anyone else have this problem? Many thanks for any help with this.
well, you can controll this by going to>>
from Sounds and Notifications menu, click on Notifications below
then from the Event list, select New text message or whatever
and then check or uncheck Flash light or you can even change the period
of time you want the light to flash!
regards
Thanks, but I know that bit. I want it to flash when I get a new test message, but not when I get a "Text Message Sent" notification, as this isn't a text message. This worked correctly on my XDA 2s, it seems to behave differently on the exec, or I have set something up incorrectly.
Any ideas?
Hmmmm, I had this problem on my Jam. Can't remember exactly if/how it was resolved, have you tried changing the settings for "MMS Sent" (which seems to be the closest type of notification)?
Hi, yes checked that and it is set to not flash the light....in fact I only have "Incoming text message" set to flash the light....very confused now?
yeah mine does this as well, when the notification arrives telling me the sms is sent. Ironically it clears if your in the messaging app when the notification arrives, but anywhere else (today screen usually) the orange light keeps flashing, i'll do some further tests but that seems to be the case for me anyhow.

Hi, I have just tested this and I still get the amber light even when in text message application......
Yeah, as you say its not because I was in the messenging tab, its because in the 3ish seconds the notification is on the screen, I hit the left softkey for dismiss rather than waiting for it to time out, either that or it only does it with random txt's

I have been playing around with this and if I set the SMS notification to no flashing light then when I get the "Text Message Sent" notification the amber light only flashes for about 1 minute before returning to green. However, if I have the SMS notification set to flash the amber light for any amount of time then the "Text Message Sent" notification causes the amber light to flash for that amount of time also. It seems to mistake the "Text Message Sent" notification for an incoming text message....Very strange.
Hey guys,
Does anyone know if there is an option to turn on the indicator light when you have a new text message or voice mail? I see the phone has a amber/green light and was wondering if there is a way to make it blink a certain color when you have a message waiting..
Thanks
Tap: Start < Settings < Sounds & Notifications < Notifications(tab)
Then select the event you want to change (SMS, missed call etc.) and check the box 'Flash light for'
thanks... I ended up getting it to work but I had to use NueLed to disable the signal light first for it to work... I dont know why but that was my only way of getting it to flash the amber light.
thats because you wanted it to flash a nonstandard color right? i know a lot of roms already due this when you make the system change above.
It seemed like when the Green service light was active it was not allowing the text message indicator to go on... not sure but after disabling it worked.
Is it possible to change the notifications so that the trackball keeps flashing when there's a new email / missed call / voicemail etc? At the moment it seems to flash when new email arrives and that's it, so if you miss the flash you can't tell there are any notifications unless you check.
actually just found out that when you have notifications the indicator flashes green, otherwise it doesn't flash at all. Unlike other HTC devices (where they nomally flashed green and then flashed orange to indicate notifications), but I guess it'll do
It does say in the user guide that the LED will flash green when there are notifications, but who ever reads that.
It would be nice to be able to select if the trackball should light up, in which interval and for what notifications. The green led will blink on any notification, not just email and missed call.
I came across an app called SMS Popup. It can change the color of the LED for SMS and MMS notifications in addition to the other great options of popping the message up on the screen and giving you reminders of unread messages.
Hi, I searched the threads and google and saw that someone asked if they could change the flashing green light for a text, email, etc...to like purple or red or any other color. Is there a way to do this? For AIM i changed incoming messages to blink purple, but how about for sms, email, etc... thanks!
you can either download chompsms in the market and change ur sms LED settings there (note that the led change will work only for chompsms)
or
download missed call and change your sms LED settings there.
For SMS messages, you can also download the latest apk mod from rgv151
For more info, check out this thread.

As far as I'm aware there's no way to make the standard notification colour change, but there are lots of apps out there that allow to switch off the standard notifications and replace them with an app-based notification of your choice.
For example, SMSPopup and Missed call allow you to replace the LED colour to one of your choice (from pre-defined colours) as well as change the frequency of the flashes, and also the type of vibration (e.g. long vibrations, short vibrations or combinations thereof)
I recommend SMSPopup as it will also wake up your screen and display the text message, like the majority of phones do as standard.
thanks for the info.
Hello guys!!!!
my second problem...
is there any modify to extend the duration of led notification for missed calls and sms???
i think is normal that LED should flash until I read the sms or missed calls!!!!
many thanks guys
Hello
There is a way to do it. Use the cab on this forum so you have the otion to select LED notification. Then if you go to start/settings/all settings/sounds and notifications in there is a drop down menu. Select whatever notification your after and change the time duration from the default 5 mins to no limit.
