hey everyone,
I have a T-mobile MDA. All the info I can give is whats in the About section which is "Windows Mobile Version 5.0 OS 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0)" and processor is OMAP850-195Mhz"
Now the problem I found was that the little LED for the power and bluetooth made no sense. I would receive a text message, save it as read, clear my memory and it would not give up blinking until several hours or until i restarted my smartphone.
Does anyone know the source of this or a way to make it correct? I go to bed with the light blinking orange and wake up with the light still blinking while nothing happens. it gets annoying because i dont know if i missed a call or received a text message or something.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
P.S. I searched the forums for this problem but have failed to find anything relevant so I appologize if this is a report.
Are you sure that it's not blinking green? Most, if not all PPC's blink a green light when they are on just to show you that they are on when the lcd shuts off.
I actually have the problem that you described where mine wouldn't stop blinking orange even after I had read the only sms I had recieved at the time, but it only happened once and has never happened again. My guess is that it's a registry setting that's not resetting itself after reading the sms like it's supposed to. I've read where other people have a most likely related issue where the new sms icon stays on their screen instead of just the light flashing like that. I'm not sure that there's a way to fix a sticky registry setting though without a hard reset or reflashing the ROM.

Hi guys,
I have the o2 XDA Neo for a week now, thanx to the forum I got the wireless working too, so everything is great. I do, however, have another strange little "problem", although I'm not entirely sure if it is a problem.
On the first day, at one moment, I heard the Neo beep, as if it had received a short message, and when I went to the phone, the LED was blinking orange. However, when I turned on the screen, there was no new message, nor there was a missed call, missed alarm, appointment or anything like this, just nothing. I later talked to the person that I thought would have sent me a message, and he confirmed that he did send a sms, but I never got it.. Not only it wasn't on the today screen, it was not to be found in the message folders too..
Today, I had my phone with me, on vibration, and Ï didn't feel it ringing, however at some point I checked it to see my battery status (it was ok, around 40%), and I saw the LED blinking orange again. There was again no message, no missed call or anything. The only calendar event was a birthday, for which I had received a reminder the previous day around 23:00. Also the strange thing was, no matter what I did, the LED kept blinking orange, only after a soft reset it returned to the green standby blinking...
Has anyone else experienced this? What do you think could be the cause?

MDA Vario II on T-Mobile uk WM6 T-Mob standard rom. Have had no probs for over a month, then its started acting a bit weird, i no longer get the flashing amber led after i get a sms/mms or missed call, just the standard green. Amber still works for charging tho but i keep missing sms's and missed calls. Out of interest Bluetooth blue still works too. anyone know if there is a reg entry that deals with this? I know you can turn all the leds off but didn't see anything that looked helpful in the registry in that entry.
TIA, Matt.
Not really sure if this will help or not, but if you own SK-Tools, I'd recommend that you do an Advanced Clean (especially for the Notifications Queue), and a Registry Optimization. Sometimes those two modules fix little idiosyncracies on my device.
If this doesn't do the trick, you might want to do a FullBackup->HardReset->FullRestore cycle, and see if that gets your lights going.
HTH,

Thx dude, yeah went down the hard reset path pain in the a** but it worked.
Cheers for the advice.

Hi All.
I've persevered with this problem long enough and I'm reaching the point where I'm ready to send my phone back and ask for something else.
The problem is, seemingly at random, the phone loses the notification settings for SMS, MMS and reminders and silences them all and turns off all display messages.
The only way I catch a message coming in these days is to have the phone on the desk and watch for the screen turning on.
It leaves the volume up for the phone ringing etc but switches off messages.
It's absolutely doing my head in. I've googled but noone else seems to be reporting similar messages so I'm wondering if there is something really easy I'm missing or is it a hardware thing some how.
Anyone got any ideas? Filaing that, has anyone got a backup of the original UK T-Mobile ROM that I can put back on?
Cheers,
Smiffy.
Exactly the same is happening to my dual, after I upgraded to WM 6.1! It's really annoying.
I reported the problem to Customer Support, but they only recommended to perform a hard reset
Of course I did, but nothing happens.
I found the registry keys which are supposed to control this, but it's useless for me - Maybe someone can find a way to keep the settings in read-only mode or something
I hope HTC release a hotfix for this problem asap!
Can anyone teach me how to enable the blinking of notification led in green colour in usual status?
Like those blinking in ELFIN etc.
THX
Hi
Do you mean have it flash all the time to show the phone is on and connected to the network?
If yes I don't think you can.

Thx for answering me!
But why can't I??
I 've seen a video that Topaz is blinking all the time when Topaz is running in Windows 6.5 Platform
there might have been a new message or missed call etc.

Maybe you allready gave the answer: It might be in the WM6.5 rom.
As far as i know it's not possible with WM6.1, there is allready a thread about this is this forum, just use search.
Generaly, most people have the blinking green LED to indikate missed calls, new SMS or new E-mail. I use it for those things, so having it do showing network availability aswell is just pointless.

In older HTC phones, (pre Diamond1), the LED flashed green to indicate GSM connectivity (signal) and would flash orange in case of notifications. Also the same LED would flash red in case of low battery.
I also would have liked it to be flashing green for connectivity & orange for notifications/low battery. As it would be easier to know weather you are connected or not, since the sreen is mostly off.
Or perhapps i can suggest, if some developer would like to to do it, to make the phone flash orange (same as low battery) in case there is no signal.

Pointless to you but not to others.
I'd find it very useful to know if the phone's actually "on-line" without firing it up. The radio sometimes goes AWOL even in a good signal area, it would be nice to know when this happens. In a weak signal area it helps you put the phone down in a location where it actually works.
It's been on every phone I've owned and suddenly it's no longer fashionable with HTC...
Guys,
Even on the stock EC05 rom the indicator light would never blink when I missed a call or text or email Until I woke up the phone. To me that seems pointless, it the indicator light blinking should be the reason I wake up my phone that way im not always playing with it checking it.
It does blink red after I wake it up and I let it go back to sleep.
Im curious if this has ever been fixed and if someone could tell me where to go.
There are several on here that will happily tell you "where to go" ;-)
Seriously though, I'm completely with you on this. The indicator LED has been one of the biggest letdowns of this device, given it's potential. I have never had a phone that had a worse one. Qbking77 is asking people for suggestions for SRF1.3 in a separate thread. This would be a huge coup if someone could write a program to fix the LED and get it to properly communicate.
There is an easy fix for this using the "Missed Reminder" app in the android Market. I am using this fix and the LED blinks forever until I dismiss the reminder. If you search this forum for missed reminder, you should find the thread that explains how to setup this app.
