Have been trying to search for this topic here for a while. The red flashing light on the XDA2 wont turn back to yellow when a notification is dismissed or snoozed. The only way i can get it to return to normal status is if i receive an SMS, or i go to Sounds and Notifications. What's up with that? and how do i fix it?

have you tried setting the time limit of the flashing red light? start/settings/sounds¬ifications/notifications. select an event ( eg: inbox New SMS message) uncheck the flash light box. that should solve your problem.
'been experiencing the same problem intermittently. Especially when some of my reminder went off or when I receive an SMS. What I usually do is perform a soft-reset, at least once a day. =)
I cant really disable the flash coz i need to be notified of events, meetings, etc. Its weird coz if i force an alarm (say, 2 mins from current time), alarm goes off, i dismiss it, works red flash goes away. Works without a hitch. But if its an event that's been scheduled for, say, a day or so... red flash whole day unless i go to sounds and notifications.

I've also had this problem on occasion. Fortunately there is a less harsh solution than a soft-reset...
Use Start | Settings | Sounds & Notifications | Notifications tab, then drop down the Event combo box and select any other event than the first and tap OK.
This procedure doesn't actually change any of your settings but does seem to reset the light.
thanks... I'll remember this one once that glitch happens again... =)
This is exactly what I do. Was hoping there's already a registry solution or patch out. Kinda irritating if you have lots of meetings in a day.

There is no need to do anything else after selecting Start -> Settings -> Sounds & Notifications -> Notifications. Just tap OK immediately after that and the red blinking light will go away.
This problem only started occurring when I updated the ROM to 1.60. The previous ROM didn't have this problem.
On occasions l have that just going into start/settings/sounds & notifications, and then hitting ok, sometimes does not kill the light. Seems to depend on the kind of event that triggered the alarm in the first place.... Either way, just hiting ok or going the extra step as suggested earlier in the thread seems to deal with it.
bug.
the RED flash notification light is another bug in the 1.60 and 1.66 WWE ROM, yes SETTINGS-NOTIFICATIONS-OK seems to solve the problem and there is no registry hack. Though, IT IS BETTER to soft reset your device once in a while to REFRESH the memory, to avoid damaging the tiny soft reset button, install a soft reset program and just tap to SOFT RESET.
As presented by T3 Magazine, The XDA 2 is the smartest PDA, but its not perfect, though I STILL LOVE MY XDA 2.
RED flash notification bug fixed in 1.72?

Does this mean that the problem is gone in 1.72WWE ?
I've not done the upgrade yet because 1.66 has been very stable (for me) but this might just be the reason I've been waiting for ...
Well I'm under 1.72 WWE and I have the same problem but ever since I insstalled a Socket WiFi card. The driver installs a new Notification Event called WIFIICON and every time I insert the WiFi card and the system detects a hotspot the notification light (red) will continue to blink forever. If I go to notifications and select, say 5 minutes, it will continue forever, if I disable it, it will disable until the next WiFi session and then have to repeat procedure all over again... :?
It does not bother me much, but since a WiFi session by itself consumes lots of battery the last thing in my mind is having another power consuming feature turned on.

You missed a crucial step. You should go to Start -> Settings -> Sounds & Notifications -> Notifications and after pressing the OK button, the red blinking light will go away. Don't forget to select the Notifications tab. It works in my unit every time.
After picking up on this thread, I have been monitoring the 'clear' function more closely and up to now, touch wood, being in notifications and just hitting ok, seems to be doung the trick. I am pretty sure I have tried the same thing in the past and, on occa ion, it has not worked without changing an event. But my memory may be playing tricks with me I'll continue to monitor and see if any come up...hopefully not

Not on my device. It is necessary to select a different notification for the screen to 'realise' a change has occurred and kill the light.
Hi all,
just got my Qtek 9100 and have played with it few days. Great device. Just one small thing, is there a way (registry mod. or something) to disable vibration with Alarms? I think most of the people aren't sleeping with the phone in their pocket so it's quite useless and also annoying when the phone drops from the table while vibrating.
Have you tried Settings -> sounds & notifications -> notifications -> event:Reminders -> tick Vibrate off
Yep, it's off, has always been that way, but still it vibrates
Did you scroll through each different event and make sure that vibration wasn't checked for any of 'em?
Yes, no vibs on. Is there any registry entries that I could check out?
My TyTn doesn't vibrate anymore...
Yesterday it frooze while receiving a phonecall. It frooze so bad that it wouldn't even restart after a hardreset. After playing around, removing battery, sd-card, sim-card, waiting a while, I finally managed to do a hard reset.
So then I took the opportunity to upgrade my Dutch 1.18 ROM to the Cingular 1.34 WWE. Everything went fine (after a few retries).
But now my phone doesn't vibrate anymore. I did a softreset to remove all extra programms but that didn't work either: no vibration anymore.
Anyone had or has the same problem (maybe after a ROM upgrade)?
I fear it's a hardware problem (the next in a row of ...).
Problem solved!
I found a strange solution for my problem, very strange...
In my Sounds & Notifications I always have Events disabled (because I don't want to hear my screen clicks). With this option disabled my vibration always worked.
Desperate as I was I enabled it and much to my surprise my vibration was back!!!
Since this was strange to me I checked my other deveice, a QTEK S100, and at this one my Events also is disabled in combination which the vibration still works.
So back to my TyTn, I disabled my Events again and see: my vibration keeps on working!!! So now my settings are back to where they were and my vibration is also back...
I don't know what to think of this, maybe a registry-setting was set to a wrong value en corrected by my enabling/disabling Events???
(I checked the "flashing service LED" before; that was value 1, enabled, so that wasn't the cause).
Probably something was happened with uninstalling operations or setting some options in some software: changing them caused a mistake in registry keys and the time key for vibrating was blanked.........
Well, however you're very lucky...... isnt' it??
I have gingerbread on my hd2, its a boyppc rom from 5 may. everything works fine except the vibration issues im having. i want to disable all vibration except the notifications and calls. im finding it quite impossible. ive tried all the settings i can find but i cant turn it off. also - my vibration patterns arent consistent with what i have set in the notification menu. whether i have long, short, multiple short or multiple long - i get the same short vibration. any help appreciated.

The only 2 vibration options are from Vibrate and Haptic feedback. Now, whatever you want to vibrate you can download an app for it like say you want notification go download an sms/mms app that have that function when receive a message.
if there is 'cyanogen mod settings' in the settings menu,find 'input' then 'haptic feedback' Adjust as you want.
Hi,
i rooted couple days ago my Wildfire to CyanogenMod 7.1.0 RC.
