I have searched, and read a ton of info, but I have not noticed a solution to this problem.
I recently had to swap to a new 6800 under warranty. When the new one gets text message, the yellow LED flashes and usually does not shut off after I read the new message.
This is terribly annoying since I never know when I really have a new message. I can only make it go away when I reset the phone..
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Hey Dan. Do you have an unheard voicemail? Sometimes eventhough I have read all of my texts or emails, the LED will still flash until I have listened to my VM.
The easiest way to combat your excessive LED flashing is to use a small program called nueLED. It allows you to turn off any or all of your LEDs. Obviously, you want the Notification LED to flash, so whenever it gets stuck flashing, open the nueled program and select the extras tab and select reset LEDs.
Check it out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371391&highlight=nueled

Hey buddy, every once in awhile that happens to me. Its a little bug of some sorts. Here is how I get it to stop flashing without a soft reset.
Go to start/settings/personal tab/sounds and notifications/Notifications tab. And then simply click OK, no need to change anything. This will make it stop flashing.
Since this is a new phone as of a few weeks ago, could this be running MR2? Could that be the issue?
Old phone = GPS working. New phone = not at all...
Meh

MR1 and MR2 both break GPS as far as I've read (I don't have Verizon so no actual experience there).

GPS will work on MR1/2 if you set it up right.
Hmm I just had this happen for maybe the 3rd time since I've had the phone yesterday. Someone called me, didn't even leave a message, and the light kept blinking. I already read the notification saying I had missed a call.
Now that I think of it, the only times this has happened is since I started using RM 1.1 Light...
Actually the 213017b ROM works great with the correct carrier cab. I had this problem till I got this ROM. Have you tried it'?
I have not tried any roms other than MR1 which the GPS worked on.
Does anyone know the start up version numbers for the MR1 and MR2 update? If my phone is running MR2 I am going back to MR1 ASAP.
The lack of GPS and this silly always blinking message led are driving me nuts.
GPS works on both MR1 and MR2. Also the extra led blinking is not a problem with MR1 or MR2. It just happens sometimes.

I used to have it happen a lot as well. I already mentioned my way to get the flashing to stop on the first page. But one thing I did notice is that with my newest 6.1 build 21054 it hasnt happened once. I have had the ROM on my phone for over a month. So I am guessing its a problem with some of the older builds based on my experiences.
Yes, I have been using your solution for the time being. I then swapped to a BB storm (free upgrades for me and my girl) and couldn't stand the operating system so I went back to my 6800 and got her a omnia. WM FTW.
You should consider the TP2 if you want a new phone. It is a great one
Yes, that's a great phone and will pick one up sooner or later.
Update, out of frustration of two things:
The message LED flashing mostly all the time
and
my phone becoming unresponsive randomly yesterday
.. I went back to MR1 and all is well again.

well it is working now, it makes calls and sends/receives texts now.
it happened last night when i was sleeping and continued until an hour or so ago.
i still have the two arrows and X that say no data connections though, even after a reset, and one text remains in the outbox no matter what.

Are you running stock rom? Did you install anything prior to this happening?
i am on the stock ROM, i have quite a few things, the most recent things i installed were a few games. i don't think they would be the culprit

Well, not really sure what's going on with that, but I think I would do a hard reset to make sure it isn't a software issue.

yeah now i have a text that stays in the outbox that sends every time i turn on the phone and even when i clear all my texts they show right back up after a reset. i'm going to flash to the newest official ROM (because apparently 2 were released within a week or something) since i have to hard reset anyways.

Good luck with that...but I heard there were some issues with the newest official release. Have you thought about flashing to a cooked rom?
hi im new to android phones but i got 2 htc heroes, 1 for me and 1 for my gf, i rooted and installed fresh rom 1.0 on my phone no problems at all. my gf decided to keep hers stock.i had installed fresh rom and rooted my phone because i was having 100% awake problem, i tried everything i could read on the forums but nothing has helped. its not really that big of a deal considering im getting what i consider excellent battery life for my phone.
but my gf's phone has now started having a problem that i cannot fix, her vibrate on her phone just stopped working completely, i checked the settings and everything is enabled and everything looks good, so i did a hard reset which didnt fix the issue, then i restored it with a back up.
i figured at this time the best thing to do is go to sprint and swap them both out, im loving the phone, and the freedom to customize it, i just hate the 100% awake problem, and the no vibrate is a big deal as it vibrate with calls,texts, or keyboard feedback.
if you guys have any input on what it might be that would be great, but all these phones started having problems when they were stock and not rooted, with minimal apps downloaded.
Thanks in advance
Jon
When the phone is powered off and you very first power it on, it should vibrate right away. That is hard coded in to the phone. Does it do that?
If not then the vibe is defective.
no it didnt, i just went ahead and traded both my phones for new ones, both are working great, no more 100% awake for me and my gf has a phone that vibrates. Now its time to root and flash with Fresh 1.0 again.
TY for your response guess it was just a bad one
quick question, when you exchanged the phone, was it still rooted? im having the same problem with my phone and its a little annoying. ive been looking around to see if there is a way to unroot the phone, but it doesnt look like there is a way to do it.

yea it was rooted and still flashed with 1.0 they took it back no problems, since i was still under the 30days return policy.
vibration not working
i rooted my phone with just some rom i found and about an hour ago the vibration stopped working. this is bad for me, i need the virbation more than anything. my 30-day warranty is up but i do have the insurance on my phone, will they let me exchange it even though it is rooted?
Thanks
I was having a similar problem. I downloaded the volume control app and unclicked and reclicked the little vibrate icon above the actual volume level and it fixed it for me.
Am I alone in this problem? I've read through the forums, and I don't see anything about it.
Here's what happens: I'm going along my merry way, receiving text messages, when all of a sudden, every text I try and send fails. Everything else works fine. But NO outgoing sms. If I try and reset the radio by going into airplane mode, it will get stuck trying to go into airplane mode and I have to reset.
The sad part is, I'm running a stock rom, and I've only gone so far as to unlock the bootloader.
Any ideas?
Also, I should mention that while this happens, I can still receive sms. Usually to the tune of "hello???", "why aren't you answering me???"

This used to happen to me all the time and it was always annoying the hell out of me. It sill happens once in a while but not as much as it used to. To solve my issue I updated to newest radio and the latest cyan mod. It might just be the T-Mobile network bugging out. I don't k know for sure. Hope this helps somewhat.
I'll try the new radio. But man does it piss me off. It didn't happen too often, but it happened 3 times lastnight alone. Making me want to do something about it.
I'll try the radio today and see how it goes.
I have this problem every now and then, simply have to restart the phone, nothing else solves it!
this used to happen on my g1. it would continue to fail at sending texts until i reboot the phone. and i remember it happening on my nexus but not it seems it has not happend since i updated to the newest radio and CM5.
I am having this exact same issue and its really disappointing since I really love this phone I haven't rooted and just running the stock firmware and I am on Rogers Network in Canada... could it a few defective phones? anyone have any more info or fixes other then reboot and rooting?
I have since switched to modaco's desire rom and everything is working much better now. I'm even using the google mms.apk for my text messaging(i don't like the htc one), and everything works fine. I haven't had it happen yet, and I've been using this rom for weeks now.
If anybody is having this issue, I suggest you try it. The modaco rom is nearly flawless.

I second, apparently instead of addressing the nexus issues Google is working onthe next major update so hopefully that will come with fixes for all of the bugs, exciting things are coming...
Can anyone help??
I've had my leo for a while now and I love the phone with one major exception.....
Sometimes when I call a contact nothing happens then after an eternity, 2minutes, the call is placed. I have good network connection and have tried it with and without 3G.
When this error is present I also get a problem whereby I can't hang up.
This seems to be a software problem. I'm on the T-mobile network in the UK. Does anyone else have the same problem?
I couldn't find anything on the forums. I've tried stripping programs/software off and have tried both hard and soft resets. The problem appeared to go away after a hard reset but then appear again weeks later for no apparent reason.
I have the original ROM version (1.43.110.2) and no significant mod's apart from Cookie home screen tabs and a few simple registry tweaks.
Any help guys, I'm contemplating taking the phone back but will I just end up with a reconditioned model? Mine's in mint condition and I don't want to end up with some banged up phone.
Hi, Did the phone work before the reg tweaks and software installation? A new T-Mobile UK ROM was published on the 15th, it might be an idea for you to flash your phone, test it then tweak, if it doesn't work after you flash it then speak to T-Mobile. If it workls after you flash it but not after you tweak then there's your problem Here is the link to HTC's UK web site with the download. I'd guess that T-Mobile will have a link on their support site for it too, somewhere: http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownloadList.aspx?p_id=297&act=sd&cat=2.
Hope this helps.
Mine does the same thing. Also mine also freezes when I get incoming calls. After I talk to the other person, I can't hang up. It's frozen. I have to hit the reset button on the back or take out the batter. I have two HD2's T-Mobile US Versions on release day.
I did do some HD2 tweaks to turn on the LED when I get messages though.
I'm going to reset both devices and see what happens. Maybe the old softwares don't work on the HD2 even though it's for WinMo 6.5.
I really hope it work, because I hate to return the unit. It's a beautiful hardware.
Thanks CMMY, I'll try installing the new ROM as soon as I get a chance.
I didn't have the problem before installing software/tweaks; but then again it was only probably a couple of days before I played around with it. After I did a hard reset and reinstalled some software it was working fine for at least a week before the problem re-occured, which seemed quite strange. Today the phone is working fine but will undoubtedly return, the fault seems entirely intermittent.
Daily driver: I also have the same problem when recieving calls. I'll let you know how I get on.
Same problem here, my phone is 3 days old and I have to remove the battery to end most calls, did a master reset and thought that fixed it. Couple hours later it was back at it. I'm using a tmobile hd2. This seems to be a very common problem, hope they come out with a patch soon..
Same problem here, hope it gets fixed someday

I have this issue across diffrent roms, soft reboot does not fix it. just fixes itself after a while
Hi
Did you find a solution to this problem?
I'm using GSM HD2 Europe.
This problem start occurring after a while when I was using 29 Aug Energy rom.
After a reset the phone work ok for few hours.
When to problem start, the send physical button does not work.
if I want to make a call I must use the "phone" from the start menu.
When I try to end the call, the phone software stop responding, but the operation system keeps working.
In order to end the call I must remove the battery.
I when back to the original rom 1.66 from HTC site.
the problem still exist but less frequently.
(by the way the original rom work much slower then the energy custom rom.)
I’m wasting so much time on this phone, and I’m on the verge of giving up .
I will be happy to get some help.
Thanks

If you do not have BsB tweaks, but used tweak #44 in "Leo's tips and tweaks", this can cause problems for some.
can't hangup
I found the reason for this problem. (at least for the specific problem I had)
I'm using resco keyboard.
if I leave the Caps lock on after using the keyboard, then the "Send" HW button does not work, and you can't hangup calls.
by opening the keyboard again and releasing the caps lock the all work fine again.
I've also had this problem... Made me consider selling this otherwise great HD2, sometimes even running it over with a car
When I want to make a call, phone just won't dial - it freezes, but everything else works fine (only "phone app" freezes). So, I give up the call. Few minutes later, it unfreezes, and phone starts calling. Usually, from my pocket. Also, after a call, I can't hang up. I often ended up with removing the battery.
I tried everything...
Restarting the phone makes everything ok, but only for a few minutes.
Installing different app, tweaks, etc - nothing.
Removing everything and returning the phone to factory settings - nothing.
Then, I remembered to disable Sense. That was it. I have used the phone without Sense for months, and it didn't happen. Not even ONCE!
Can anybody here do anything with this?
I still want to use Sense because it looks awsome, way better than Windows interface...
You could try a custom rom. I have been using Dutty's latest and greatest without any of the problems you're describing.
I have had the LeoExtendedNotifications [v0.92] running on my phone for a while now with no problems.
Last night for some reason the button started blinking as though i had some sort of notification.
It turns out that i don't have any notification.
I have tried all the usual stuff...take battery out, reboot with no joy. Even left a voice message on my phone and hoped it would cancel it once i listened to it.
Still no joy.
When i turn off LeoExtendedNotifications [v0.92] the blinking obviously stops.
I don't have any messages waiting to the read or listened to.
Any ideas on why it carries on blinking at me guys?
Thanks in advance.

hard reset....is that take the battery out while the phone is still on...if it is then I have already tried that with no joy.
I don't really want to have to flash another ROM as I have the phone setup nicely...its taken me ages to get it like i have it now!
Managed to sort the problem....
Seems as though i had an unread text msg from Nov sitting in my sms inbox.
Strange though, as the phone had been working fine up until last night?!
Anyway I read the msg and the blinking went away
