Flash light on new email?

Under the notification settings for New Email message there is an option to "Flash light for X minutes", however, no matter what I set in there my Jasjar doesn't flash either of it's lights when I receive new email. The other settings there are working because I can change the sound or turn vibrate on or off, but the light doesn't seem to work. Does this work for anyone else? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Brett

A bit more information... I was just looking through some of the notification settings and I noticed that my Jasjar was also set to flash the light on missed calls and on voicemail. It does not flash the light for either of these events. The lights to flash slowly when the Jasjar is operating normally, so I know that they function.
Brett

Isn't that an option to flash the screen (backlight) rather than the LED's??
Or am I just being an idiot? I've never used that function in my life on any PPC phone, I've always just assumed....!?

Hmm... I don't know. This is my first PPC, so I just assumed that it was the LED. Can anyone confirm how this should work?
Thanks,

No. It's not an option to flash the back light. The led on the right is supposed to flash red/orange for alerts.

You learn something new every day...!
Seems a bit pointless though...how many people are going to stare at the flashing light for ages to see if the colour is changing!?
My idea is much better :wink: !!!

LOL... maybe, but I want it because I carry the Jasjar in a belt holster. It would be nice to just be able to glance down at the device and see if I have an email waiting.
Can anyone try this and see if they can get their LED to flash?
Thanks,
Brett

Brett,
Be aware that the led is a bi-color led. When there are no notifications, it will flash green. When is it flashing because of a notification, it flashes amber. When it is charging it stays amber, in order to switch to green when it is done charging.
It actually is helpfull. I usually have my MDA Pro lying on the table, screen off. By the color of the led I can tell if there is anything I need to attend to on my device. Quite handy, actually...
Hope this clarifies matters.

I understand that and my LED does everything that you've listed except for flashing amber. When I have it set to "Flash LED" for new email it just doesn't change when I get new email. Does yours?
Thanks,
Brett

Yes mine does, just set my JasJar to check for messages every 5 minutes, and sent myself an e-mail, an lo and behold, it started flashing orange.
I'm converted, it is a good idea!

::grr:: Why doesn't mine work then? I've been debating doing a hard reset... I've installed a few programs that didn't uninstall properly... maybe it's related to that.
Brett

Well... I just did a hard reset and the first thing I did was configure the jasjar to flash, then I set up my email account and sent myself a message... and my LED started flashing orange too. I was hoping for a faster flash, but hey... I'll take what I can get
Brett

glad to hear you got it working.

HTC Hero-Trackball mod

I saw some about Trackball mod for Nexus One!
Change notifications,color mod etc.!
Is it possible at HTC Hero,too?
Or perhaps by the LED, which appears when loading the battery?

The LED behind our trackball is only white, so we'll never get this. It'd be nice though, my buddy got a N1, and I think that's one of its coolest features (is that sad?)
EDIT: As far as the LED goes, it only does orange and green (and maybe red when the battery's low?) I don't really know how much modding you could do with that. I miss the green/red/blue/orange leds in my Vogue.

try searching notify light apk in google see if it works

Yes,orange when charging,red=empty and green when 100% loaded!
But 2 weeks ago,I flashed a ROM and at this ROM, the LED blinked green when I received a message!
But can`t remember to this ROM

Actually, I run the standard ROM and it flashes the green led when I receive messages too.

thnx for ur answer... mmm nope, it stays only at the lowest level...

oh God.... now the touchscreen is not working.... i dont know what happened, i cant even unlock my phone!! Help!! please.....

It sounds like hardware. If it were me I'd flash the froyo PD15IMG and see if anything magically starts working. If not, then I'd have my answer.

Ok, so i just flashed back to froyo PD15IMG and the touchscreen works now, but the brightness is still not working, ive also noticed that every time i press the screen, it kinda fades a little... very weird... as u said before i think it may be a hardware problem..... any ideas of which part????

I believe that backlight is part of the display.

ok, so today i found more problems, rotate sensors are not working, compass is dead, and also the phone does not recognize any headset i plug in, i cant even listen to my music.... i remember that a week ago, i plugged my phone to a wall outlt with an iphone usb charger, do u think that has something to do with it???
thanks

Doubtful. Was it an Apple charger or a Brand X (off-brand)?
I seriously doubt that would cause a systematic failure of your hardware. If anything it would fry the usb/charging port, were there something seriously wrong with the charger.
Sounds like you've got a paperweight on your hands.

I have same problem with my phone.
The phone first had a problem when I left it in the sun for abt half an hour.
The brightness setting has no effect.
Auto rotate screen does not work, however touch screen works fine.
The phone hangs up now and then.
only the backlight does not work and i can easily use the phone inside a room
the compass does not work
tried factory resetting the phone no success
The charge light does not come on even when the phone is charging. however when i turn my phone off and charge it, the charge light comes on.
usually during startup or booting the device, the brightness is supposed to be full. however no brightness during boot up

Only fix i found so far for this problem was replacing the power flex plus the main flex of the phone.. that solved my problem...

good luck

it's done for...!
sorry bro but its good bye for your phone...!

I am having a similar issue with a friends phone. He had a cracked screen so i replaced that. 2 weeks later he brought it back to me and the brightness is stuck on the lowest level. Changing the level in options has no effect. I was just wondering is the backlight and the LCD screen one and the same? Should i bother changing the LCD or is there something else I should try repairing first. Everything else on the phone seems to function properly...its just a pain to see it!

[PROBLEM] The notification led doesn't turn off

Hi guys, i was using latest kalo ROM without any problem since yesterday, when i noticed that my notification led was red but i had no new notification, i also powered my phone off and also when my phone was turned off the led didn't turn off. The led turned off only when i removed the battery.
I tried everything, i reverted back to official 2.3.5, but the problem was still there, i also updated to official ics, but nothing...
Could someone help me? If anyone has any suggestion i would be really grateful =)

Maybe you burned your notification light? You could probably replace it.
By the way, this should go in Q and A
Edit: I thought it wouldn't turn off. Download root dim from the play market, Select other lights and scroll all the way down to red and select it. From there, try resetting it by turning it off and going back to system default. If that does not work just keep the led notification off.

It could be, in this days rained so much here where i live...

Because I read in some other threads with two different phones having the same issue, I think the one was sgs2...
So I suggest you flash an official ROM and go to warranty if you still have one...

There is more than one way you can receive water damage including humidity.

Yup it's a kernel crash, it only happens when im on an aosp rom

this just happened to me as well.... had to pull the battery to get it to reboot.
is this something to worry about?

Me too ... WETA Kernel

This happens to me when i try to watch netflix anyway to fix this?

bump ** had the same green screen this morning like @OberonMX
You had any issues again or only happened once?

Were you charging your phones when this happened, or did it just happen out of the blue?
I meant to make a post about the engineering aboot and charging a while back. It will take whatever amperage that you feed to the phone and dump it unregulated. So, if you have a 10 amp charger, it will send all 10 amps to the battery. I am surprised I didn't blow up my phone. Luckily the overheat protection kicked in.

Mine was not charging it was just out of the blue
Green screen when woke up and only way to reboot phone was pull out battery
Happened in standby probably nothing to worry about well see
