Please excuse my noob question. I tried to search but didn't find an answer.
My Cingular 8525 with the latest official WM5 ROM has started acting up. It seems to think there is a notification present. It blinks the LED in yellow and sporadically makes the sound currently programmed for new voicemails. If I afterwards I get a valid notification (e.g. missed call), and I clear that notification, then the LED blinks green and the phone behaves normally.
If I soft-reset the phone, a few seconds after the green Windows Mobile screen displays, the phone vibrates and plays the sound. It keeps playing the sound and vibrating every few seconds for a while, blinking the yellow LED (the phone is fully charged). I don't see any other notifications on the screen. After a while it sometimes stops playing the sound, but the LED keeps blinking yellow. The playing of the sound occurs at longer intervals if you just let the phone sit. Only if another valid notification occurs and is then cleared does the blinking LED turn green.
I haven't installed any new software recently. It just started doing it on its own. I can't pinpoint any event that started this. It seems to be activated early during the boot process, before the normal WM5 Today screen comes up.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

Thanks!
I couldn't find how to delete notifications with the trial version of SKtools, probably because it only shows 6 entries of things it finds wrong in demo mode, but I was able to use MemMaid. Seems like a good program so I may buy it.
There were a few duplicates, but the problem persists after removing them. Same symptoms as before.
I hope the official WM6 comes out soon. I don't want to hard reset my phone until then.
What I don't understand is that getting some notification (e.g. a missed call) will result in the phone going back to normal. Also, the sound/vibration that it makes stops after a few minutes, only the blinking yellow LED remains until clearing another notification makes things go back to normal.

Hi, i've had my XDAII from O2 for 3 weeks now and have a few questions.
This morning when I woke up the XDAII's power/charge light was 'red'. According to my O2 manual, it's 'amber' when charging, 'green' when fully charged, and 'green flashing' when phone is on.
I pressed the Power Button and the XDAII sprang to life as usual, no apparant problems (ie no error messages or anything).
Any clues what red signifies, have searched but not found any answers yet.
Many thanks in advance.
PS device has latest O2 UK ROM (v1.60.50).
it means you missed a call.
i found it to be an extremely good addition over the XDA, in that you don't have to turn your device on to see if anyone called you. You'll also see a phone+exclamation mark on your taskbar. The red light will disappear when that icon is clicked.
I'm not sure if this also happens when the caller does not transmit their number.
so:
Green non-blinking = on cradle, fully charged
Yellow non-blinking = on cradle, charging
Green flashing = device on
Red flashing = missed call
Adding to this, it is not set up by default to flash red when you have received an SMS or mms.
But you can change this behaviour from the Sounds and Notifications options on the device.
And this is much more handy, in that you can then send a text to a friend, switch your phone 'off' (i.e. power off the screen etc), and only a glance at it is necessary later, to know if you have had a reply or not.
Great in noisy environments, or in a car etc.
Red Light Stays on even after dismissing reminder
I have my XDAII set up to display the RED light for a reminder (An Alarm). However, if an alarm goes off while I am away from my XDAII then the red light remains on even after I dismiss the reminder. In other words it is not resettign to Green. The only way to reset it is to do a Soft reset. HAs anyone had the same problem or have a solution?
yah I've had the same problem that my red light stays on after an alarm goes off, really annoying that you have to soft reset or play around in the the notification settings and then it disappears
Hi guys!
Sometimes on my Jam the yellow led is always on...
I'm sure to not have message to read or active appointments...
The only workaround is to do a softreset! :-(
FOr example:
yesterday the led was green... an appointment reminder appens with sound notification (dinner from 20 to 23).
The PDA was turned off but the notification ring sound and the led became yellow. The display was still off.
I turn the pda on and I see the bell symbol on the bottom right corner.... I tap on it and I see the reminder for my appointment.
After that the led don't becomes green!
I tryed to show the appointment in the calender ecc... but the led was stilll yellow.
I'm not expert and I thinked that the led will be green after the 23pm when my appointment will be ended...
This morning the led was still f..... yellow!!!
I made soft reset and now it's ok but I don't understand why!
How does the reminder notifications works?
Are you using phonealarm or alarmtoday?
I've noticed sometimes the only way to cancel the yellow led is to load the sms/email app (ie check your messages), regardless of what caused the yellow led, and whether or not you have a new message.
Anyone concur?

I installed PohoneAlarm but i removed it and now I'm usign PPCProfilePro...
I've noticed the led anomalies and the only cure I've come up with is to soft reset.
whenever the yellow gets stuck i go to settings->sounds & notifications
then click on notification tabs then sounds tab then notification tab again..
that should bring back the green led

I remember that! :lol: 8)
The bug must be from windows mobile. If you, when getting a notification popup, tap a button and hold it until the LED did blink once again and then release the button, the bug shouldn't appear. The solution I use is to restrict the blinking to a certein time period, I think you can set it to 90 minutes or something. I use PocketZenPhone to set this. Therefore, whenever this bug appears, it's gone after 90 minutes.
Hi all
My Wizard has been acting very strangely for the last 24 hours. Without any obvious trigger evet, it has started doing the followig things:
- GSM notification light has started blinking amber without any associated problem or warning. Normally this means GSM disabled, but I can still place and receive calls fine.
- Refusal to sync with desktop. When I plug it in, both the computer and phone make studdery 'hardware connected' noises but nothing else. Whatever I try, I cannot coaxe them to talk.
- Worst of all, at seemingly random times, in perhaps 1-minute intervals, the phone vibrates briefly and makes the notification noise, as if an appointment was coming up. But there are no appointments, all system alarms have been turned off and I can't for the life of me tell what's triggering it - there's nothing in the task manager list, so it seems to be a system fault. This is making it an extremely annoying device to be around.
I tried a soft reset, nothing. I'm reluctant to do a hard reset beacuse I have some data which I mustn't lose (but I can't back it up). The only thing that I can think of is an application I installed a while back SMS Threader, which was pretty parasitic. I removed it, but apparently the uninstallation wasn't clean. The buzzes and noises sound a bit like what the phone would do when I received a message while I had SMS Threader installed.
Any ideas?
Thanks...
Experts,
One Day I got a call while mobile kept in Bag. I answered the call. communication was OK. but when I end up the call I started getting RED LED always on. When I connect it to charger then RED LED turns Amber. And if I switch off the mobile LED turns Green.
Phone behaves like buttons are getting pressed, starts application like volume, camera automatically. Tried to hard reset many times but no success.
Pls help. Is it becoz WM6 got corrupted or moistures
Hello at all,
How does the LED notofication work on your device?
I use K9-Mail. there I have the option to set LED notification on. But nothing happens.
It should work for SMS (handcent) and K-9 (E-Mail)...
Is there a way to fix this?
hm, seems that it blinks 2, 3 times and thats it... what is the benefit of the light which blinks 0,8 seconds?!
next funny thing:
device is in standby, mail delivers, it rings, vibrates and the LED blinks 2 times. Then I reactivate the phone and the LED blinks one more time...
Is it such a big problem to get such basic function works. We have now Android Version 2.2 on the phone. so they had enogh time to develop this... or is this a problem ob Motorola...?
Mhh I never saw it being a problem. Whenever theres a mail, message, missed call it blinks green to a set timing. On WhatsApp, you have the possibility to set it to any colour you want. That only works if you have your phone rooted.. so that way, my phone now blinks purple for a WhatsApp message.
By the way... sometimes when u have a message and you turn the display off/lock it without reading it, then theres one longer led blink but then goes back to the normal pattern, I guess just to remind you before you put the phone away that there is actually an event that u missed. Theres a program called "Blink" on the AppsMarket where you can customize a colour for every event... if thats something you are looking for ?
