Missed message/call LED? - Epic 4G General

So one thing I dislike about the epic is that the LED doesn't blink constantly, it only blinks for a second or so after you receive the message....to me that kinda defeats the purpose. If I set my phone down on my desk and walk away, I want to be able to come back and not have to turn the screen on to check for a missed msg/call. I've tried a couple programs but they don't seem to work very well...is there something I can do to fix this?

My LED notification light would only blink 5 times then stop. I just bought 2 new batteries and a charger from ebay for $13 and now the led light works perfectly with the new batteries. It's really strange! But if you want your LED to blink more then 5 times then buy a couple cheap batteries from ebay.

I cannot get my LED to stop blinking... That's weird..

I think a trade is in order!

At least both of yours work - my red one hasn't lit up in 3 months.

Wierd blinking Problem (thread not to be taken seriously)

I have a very wierd problem with the lights at the top of my device.
I have set my TyTN to flash the light when I receive a new text message. It then blinks orange. Normally it blinks green.
Here is the problem. During the night when i wake up, it feels like the green light lights up my room twice every second, but during the day when i look at my TyTN, to see if I have received an sms i have to wait for 2 seconds for the light to flash.
Just want to hear your input on what might be wrong.
Personally I think that has to do with Einstein's Theory of Relativity rather than with the device itself.
Twice every second is very obvious.. it a 2Hz flickering light that light up your room. If you are sure you are fully awake and still see 2Hz flickering light in your room at night, probably it is a UFO.
lmao yeah id be looking at metal undies you dont know what probes are gunna be comin

notification led configurable?

hi
is it possible to let the notification led stay lit when there are missed calls or messages? perhaps the blinking time can be set anywhere in the registry. i would like it to remain lit like when the battery is fully charged because the time i have to look at it feels like eternity every time i want to check if i have some missed calls. this way a quick glance would suffice.
thank you
Has anyone found if this is possible.
I would like to blink the led more (i.e. every second instead of every 4 seconds now) when I got an e-mail.
When I missed a call the time is 1 second between the blinking.
I am also interested in this too, keep it lit like when it is being charged.
Why bother? The light's about the size of a mosquito's nuts, quicker to just turn the screen on isn't it?

Flashy light upon received msg?

Back in the day I had a Samsung SGH-S300 flap phone which had a led light on the cover which could blink in like 8 different colours.
Now if I had an unread text msg it would blink blue every couple of seconds untill I answer it. Red would be for calls.. And the interval was nice every 2 seconds or so.
Any software that would do the same for the Touch Pro 2? Make the led light on top to blink? Really doesn't need any more functions than that.

You can't make it flash different colors. But the TP2 offers flashing by default if you select it in the sound settings.

LED indication

The LED has the following:
1. Green when fully charged and while on a charger
2. Amber when charging and not fully charged
3. Flashing when a new SMS, email or missed call.
My question is: how can I set my TD2 to flash to indicate a new SMS, email or missed call at the same time as charging? It would seem that the charging indication takes priority over the flashing.... I want the flashing to take priority.
Does anyone know a solution to this please?
I would like the same.It will be great with no missing call or sms until you unplug your phone...and what about the second light next right to the phone? thanks a lot

There isn't a second light - it is a light sensor.
The light flashes different colors. So it could have be in rhythm with one color and different rhythm of another color.
R=Red, G=Green, Y=Yellow, - = 1 sec
---R---R---R---R---R---R---R (Charging)
-G---G---G---G---G---G---G-- (Missed Call)
Y---Y---Y---Y---Y---Y---Y--- (New Message)
So if it were charging, while having a missed call and new message, it would blink
Yellow, Green, Red, Yellow, Green, Red, etc
If it were just charging and a New Message it would
Yellow, pause, Red, Yellow, Pause, Red, etc
Just a Missed call would be
Pause, Green, Pause, Pause, Green, Pause, etc
So basically if you walked away for a minute and you had a new message and missed call while charging... it would be going crazy. You could even make a dash equal to 2 seconds to slow it down... or 3.
Well Player911, you do have a vivid imagination! Simply just flashing any colour would do nicely for me when charging and something has arrived from SMS, email or missed call.
Can you fix it?
I would prefer a green blinking light simply as a 'breathing' light. Maybe it could blink amber/red when it is low on battery.
It should burn full time only when there's a new event.
Anyway, preference may vary, but I think we all agree that it would be awesome if we could customise it!

I have the ideas, but not the know-how.
I am close to a solution and am currently testing this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1954259.
It seems to work, but the drawback is that you lose the LED notification for charging/charged completely to get the LED's to flash on an SMS/Email/missed call....
EDIT: This doesn't seem to work. It will work for a while, but if you charge then remove and then charge again, the charging LED comes back on. This then overrides the notifications LED which is what I want to take priority Back to the drawing board.
Hi,
can anybody provide a hint on how to change flashing time of the green led indicator? It blinks on missing calls but I'd like to increase the blinking period. I have HTC TD2 with Manilla 2.5 and Touch Sense.
my TD2 comes tomorrow, i think i miss my kaiser's led indicators when using TD2. kaiser is the best and enjoying with its leds, mostly when gps wifi and bluetooth opened at the same time

My old P3300 (Artemis) was like that too - quite a light show with gps, wifi, and bluetooth all on. Doesn't last long, 'cos the battery goes flat!
I really miss the flashing green "in service" LED. It was so handy to know a) you had reception and b) the phone hadn't crashed or the battery expired. The TD2 just sits there "lifeless" giving you no feedback at all.

NO led light for charging status

When Focus is charging, there is no LED light to indicate this.
Is this just an issue with my Focus, or is this happening to other people?
Yep, same issue here with no LED notifications of any kind.
is there even supposed to be a LED?I think I only see a proximity sensor and a light sensor
There is no LED, you just look at the upper right and see the power status as it has a 'power plug' logo inside the battery meter.
Reports are same with the Dell Venue Pro.
Also, people have mentioned that the iPhone 4 has no led either and people seem to make due with it.
I think the idea it to try to forget about the battery so much and just use your phone.
on wm6.5 I spent alot of time worrying about stuff like battery life, and what was using up my battery.. and what program was running when the amp usage was high.. and make sure I turn off push email when I am home..
but with windows 7.. I am trying to not worry about those things. I plug it in at night.. and no LED is better for sleep.. then I use the phone all day and never worry about if a program is eating up memory.. or other bugs that made me crazy with wm6.5
and the absolute best thing about the phone is that it is NOT an IPHONE!!!
ok so this phone is supposed to not have a led right? i was at a party last night and in a pretty dim lit room.. made a phone call and there was a faint red light that you could see just left of the upper spreaker grill... so if you go into a dimmly lit room and wanna make a call you can see a light there.. i dont know if this is just something from inside the phone making the color or if it is a led that will be accessible with a future update.. just wanted to share that.. loving this phone!!!
