Is there an easy way to get the notification light to continue blinking until the notification is cleared rather than turning off after about 5 minutes? I want to be able to see notifications of the default email client specifically which the "Missed reminder" app does not do. Is there some sort of system file setting that controls the "Timeout" of the notification light that I can manually change from 5 minutes to like 500 minutes maybe using terminal emulator?

Hiya All,
I have two questions regarding the Jam led:
1. In normal operation the LED flashes under green color around each 7 seconds. Is there anyway to shorten the interval to around 4 seconds ?
2. When an appointment is secheduled, the notification window pop ups and display the appointment detials. After I'm dismissing the notification window, the LED still flashes with yellow color and only SR can resume the LED to its green light. Is there any way after dismissing the appointment to resume the LED to green light again ?
Thanks in advanced,

hehe i can't even see the difference between these two colors.
flashing blue would be nice
1. There's no way of changing the flashing interval.
2. Check your settings under Sounds & Notifications - Reminders - Flash light for...
Thanks for the interval info...
However, when I'm going into notification settings and removing the flash list for missed calls or new sms messages, after approving the new settings, it's always coming back to default.
Any ideas how to fix this ?
Thanks in advance,
Bright Star
default to what?
Defualt to flash light and notification on the Start line...
Anyway to remove all notifications such as missed calls, incoming sms and voice mail from the Start line ?

Yeh mine seems to sometimes get 'stuck' on flashing the orange light, even if you've dismissed the alert. It does it for some SMS's when on vibrate mode, and some reminders on normal mode.
You can fix SMS's by going into Sounds & Notifications, clicking the 2nd tab then ok. I've found no way to fix it for reminders other than SR.
Annoying!
Noone found why the led can't be flashing any faster?
Is it possible to change the notifications so that the trackball keeps flashing when there's a new email / missed call / voicemail etc? At the moment it seems to flash when new email arrives and that's it, so if you miss the flash you can't tell there are any notifications unless you check.
actually just found out that when you have notifications the indicator flashes green, otherwise it doesn't flash at all. Unlike other HTC devices (where they nomally flashed green and then flashed orange to indicate notifications), but I guess it'll do
It does say in the user guide that the LED will flash green when there are notifications, but who ever reads that.
It would be nice to be able to select if the trackball should light up, in which interval and for what notifications. The green led will blink on any notification, not just email and missed call.
I came across an app called SMS Popup. It can change the color of the LED for SMS and MMS notifications in addition to the other great options of popping the message up on the screen and giving you reminders of unread messages.
The notification light on the Evo Shift only blinks for about 5 minutes before turning off. Worthless to me. There is an app called "Missed Reminder" that will make these notifications last forever until you check them. Unfortunately it does not work with the HTC Mail app, only Gmail.
Does anyone know of an app that will make the notification light continue to blink until the phone is checked that will work with the HTC default mail app? I use hotmail so "Missed Reminder" will not work.
Thank you.
so a couple times now I've had the notification light start blinking red when i've had no notifications. is this telling me there is an error or something? subsequently I've also had it it flash green after getting a text and clearing the notification, it just wouldn't stop unless I opened the stock messaging app which I don't use anymore and have the notifications turned off for.
my main concern is the flashing red, usually have to restart it to get it to go away.

Umm I think it flashes red when the phone is on the charger. Have you looked in Settings/Display/Notification light. Click on the Notification Light and it will open another screen.
Make sure your notification for text isn't set to repeat, for me that setting causes ghost notification, if your on the default out of the box settings cycling the phone a few times, power on off a few times and try that.
yeah I know it's red when charging but this is off the charger. Also I'm rooted and don't use the stock messaging app, I use textra, the notifications on the stock app are all turned off. I do have led colors set for different people when I get texts though, but like I said I had no notifications when it was flashing. Hasn't happened again yet but I'll keep watching.
I found something useful! I was getting these "phantom lights" and it was only doing it for my gmail app which I had set to pink. I found out that it was doing this when I got an email that was not in the primary inbox (i.e. promotions tab) It will not give a notification but it will still blink because you receive an email.
Hope this helps someone

Thanks for posting this! I thought I was going nuts as the damn light was blinking and I could not figure out why. I figured it out just this morning as I was looking through my list of Gmail "folders" that I had received an email in one of them. Once I cleared that the light stopped.

I believe it flashes red when you are at 20% or below in battery life. Was your battery life in that range at the time?

seems to be random colors now and only happens when I'm in my car and get a text. I'm thinking it something to do with textra and my texts coming in through my ford touch system. when I first connected the bluetooth it asked if I wanted messages sent to the system and I said no, but it did it anyways. I'd actually prefer to turn this off but there is no way on the phone I can see.
I don't get led notifications when I get texts. It works when I get Facebook notifications or other things like email. But not text. Anyone know how to fix that? Without 3rd party apps

Using Samsung's messaging app my LED notification is blue and pulses every 6 seconds approximately. In Settings > Display I have the LED indicator option to "On". Then inside the messaging app click 'More" in the top right hand corner, then click Settings and make sure Notifications are "On". That's how mine is set up and LED is working fine.
