No notification light?
Ok wtf...
Not even a running charge indicator, no notification light? I mean it was so awesome on the nexus one and most every other android device with some form of glowing indicator light...
Now i dont know if a message or anything is waiting i have to keep turning on the phone. What a pain... Cant put a led in there somewhere?
Or is my phone screwed up?
Also, on two phone calls tonight the phone shut down and restarted...............

Yeah. I kinda love HTC
This is my first non HTC phone since the first g1. Had a click but that pretty much went into the wall with that motoblur crap crashing all the time.

I dont have a NS yet...I have been reading the boards and trying to decide if I want one but I have a Fascinate and since its been rooted and debinged its a good phone but stock it was crap. I use something called BLN to notify me when I have a text or email. It lights up your buttons at the bottom. Its in the market but I think your rom has to be made to use it..I'm not sure about that but you might want to investigate that...it works better than NoLED.
I have no led running now. It works. I have it set to blink So it flashes the TV off animation which is cool.
Honestly. If You already have a galaxy s phone don't bother with the ns. I had my n1 since the day it came out I needed a new phone. There are many things ivwill miss about it. Like the desktop doc.....
More threads about this? Really? Can we have a mod lock this please...

Thats kinda what I been thinking...
Best buy couldn't get my upgrade info so I paid full pop. Was on phone with t mobile and bestbuys system couldn't get it happening so I can still get another phone suplimented. Tried a mytouch 4g but returned it. So much t-mobile garbage on it plus gotta pay for wifi teather
BLN ftw, wait for a kernel that implements BackLightNotifications and then download Blinky which makes your softkey's blink ever few seconds when you get notifications.
So awesome. 3 out of 4 calls ended with the phone restarting
Sounds you guys are having even more trouble than Galaxy S phones, I hope it gets sorted out soon.
I can deal with a dropped call but having the phone restart wtf.... I may un install everything and go from there adding one app at a time
When the phone is off if you click the power button it will show you if you phone is still charging or not

Left hole (circle) is the proximity sensor. Right hole (oval kinda) is the ambient light sensor. Hope this helps.
Does this phone even have a led notification light? thats the dots next to the earpiece right?
I ask because on my phone, i never get any LED flashing notifications when i receive a text, email, miss phone call, or etc.
Ive searched all throughout my settings but to no avail.. help?
Thats not an LED. It doesnt have one! Search. Its been discussed over and over again

Does anyone elses LED stop blinking for notifications shortly after it starts? I was hoping it would continue to blink until i check the message or what not.
Yep. Not sure why but it seems hit or miss on the LED.

is there anyway to bake this into the a ROM? It would really be nice to have it continue to blink so i dont have to turn my screen on in order to see if i have a missed message/call/etc

O yeah dude. The source code is out and has been released! We have the POWER!!! Just be patient and stay tuned, for the fun is about to begin.
nice !
sometimes i get LED and other times i dont
Me 2. Generally surprised to see if but I constaly have messages but no led. Cm7, thought it was just not working with the aosp messanger but its been blinking all day on cue today.....

Yeah it's a little baffling how they setup the LED notifs, I'm hoping someone will fix/update/change that quickly. I've had the phone for two weeks and I still an not sure which blinking LED means what specifically.
Sire note, I'm also getting random vibrates which happen with no notifs at all and it's a little worrisome from a "what in the hell is the phone doing" standpoint but overall I love this phone.

I have had that before too, thought I was going crazy
Glad to see this is a sought after feature. Maybe I'll work with some devs and see what can happen.
I don't think we can ..... anyone know different? Maybe when there is the keyboard dock, does anyone have that yet?

Could try something like noled until confirmation on dock leds?
good call, but I'm hoping for real led, like what I have gotten used to on the desire. its probably won't matter as I can't put the thing down.

Little O/T but after switching from N1 to NS, the lack of LED notifications was a bit wierd. BUT noLED is great and I actually prefer it over the LED blinking now.

NoLED wouldn't be good for the Transformer. NoLED was designed around OLED devices, that can have most of the screen off, and only a few pixels on at a time, with very little battery drain.
An LCD on the other hand, would be fully on, and drain the battery like crazy.
I quite liked the vertically long LED on the Xoom. Not something I'll particularly miss, but it felt rather familiar.
This doesn't seem like much of a problem to me really. My N1 makes a noise/LED lights for a notification, I pick up the tablet and check it. I have a different notification tone for both text messages and general notifications, so this system works well for me.
Perhaps when the dock gets released, we can repurpose the caps lock LED to be a notifications LED... I'm not sure how well that would work, or even if it would be neccessary?
I just got this thing yesterday, so I'm not sure if it's a defect or supposed to be like this, but:
1) When I plug my phone in, no light comes on to confirm that the phone is plugged in. (Usually on every other phone I've had, as soon as I plugged it in, a small green light comes on to let me know it's plugged in.)
2) When I get a text, e-mail or missed call, again, no light comes on.
(Usually a green light would blink constantly until I check it.)
That's about it.
Can anyone please confirm how it should be?
1. There is no Notification LED. So no lights can be lit. The way to check is to plug it in, and on the top status bar, if the battery animation is going.. it's charging. This is Android 101.
2. Same thing as #1
-- A way around this, if you REALLY want it is to root and to flash a custom kernel that supports BackLight Notification (BLN), most (if not all kernels) have this feature. Out of all of them, I'd recommend using Netarchy's kernel.
There is nothing wrong. Nexus S does not have an LED light.

Yes, I will now root and flash kernel/roms.
I just didn't want to go through the trouble of rooting/flashing if the device itself was bad. I feel much better now. Thanks.

my girlfriend dropped her shift into a cup of water and after it dried out everything still works the only problem is the led light is constantly on from the second the battery gets put in...it even comes on if the charger is plugged in and the battery is out...so my question is if i root her phone and go into titanium backup is there an app i can uninstall to completely disable the led light?
Im sure you could uninstall the flashlight app but it dont sound like that will fix the issue because if the led is on before the system even boots something got fried

Try downloading the torch app and see if you can toggle it on and off. Only thing you can do.
Already went through the same thing with a HERO, an EVO 4G. Something got messed up, trust me. Better to just have it replaced. Both the HERO and the EVO where good for a while, than started having all kinds of issues. TEP it and be safe. The EVO4G did the LED light thing.
sorry i never heard TEP before...wats that?

Total Equipment protection. Go on the sprint website and try to add it. You missed the boat for open enroll ment in August and September so good luck, hope you can add it. It's another $8 month and covers theft and liquid damage.
oh yea i already have it on both my phones i just never heard it short like that...thnx
On my evo shift why would the sensor to the left of the speaker grill stop flashing for notifications such as sms/mms, missed calls etc. Now that it has stopped, the led under the speaker grill on the right, which was just the charging led, flashes for my notifications. Because of this, I no longer have two led notification lights so if my phone is charging i now have to turn on my screen to check notifications.
Ive tried calling Sprint three times. I was told to take the phone to sprint and have them check it out and install a previous software version. I went to sprint told them about my problem an how the tech made a note on my account. they said they did not do that there and said id have to go to the other sprint store down the street. When i got there, they seemed clueless about loading software or anything for that matter manually. Ive tried factory resetting and everything else I can think off. I bought 2 evo shifts with a new contract that had 2.3.3os out of box and a few days later checked for updates. Im not sure what the software number was before but after i updated it was 2.76.651.5(now.6) the same problem is happening with the second shift also.
Is this like unheard of to everyone? Ive looked every where about this problem and im not seeing anything at all about anyones proximity sensor ever even flashing for notifications.
What looks like a led on the left of the speaker grill is actually the proximity sensor, when you put the phone to your ear it turns the screen off so you don't open an app or hang up on the person you are talking to accidentally. The notification led is the one located to the right of the speaker grill.
Without them(developers) this place would not be called *Insert You Device Forum Name Here* but something else, e.g Mobile Phone & Tablet User Support Services For Ungrateful Nerds.

Yeah the sensor has never flashed for me,my girl and my homie, all we have had is the orange charge light/green notification light to the right of the speaker grill.....

I know what it is and does, but what I am saying is that on both the evo shifts I bought, the proximity sensor acted as an actual led notification light. it flashed a bright green for every notification while the actual led notification light was only lighting/flashing orange and turning solid green to be charged,charging and finally when its fully charged. the proximity sensor would flash even when plugged in while the real led was being used for the charging light. I swear im not lying about any of this lol.
Well unless HTC has changed the sensor in newer makes thats not the way mine and others phones works so Guess you had a different phone. Try taking it to sprint repair and see what bthey tellyou . Good Luck

Lmao They looked at me like I was nuts.
I bought the two phones in late October. They both came with 2.3 out of the box. The proximity sensor acted as a second notification light for about a week after I decided to go into settings and check for updates and applied them which caused this to stop. Ive tried everything I could think of to get it to do it again but I cant find anything.
Im hoping someone here could help me look more into this and try to make it possible again.
EDIT
Hopefully since the sensor CAN and at one time did emit a green flash for notifications, can someone out there please figure out how to make it happen again. I don't really know anything about developing so I sadly can't do it myself...

grr, Okay, I know Im a newly registered user here and I havnt posted enough for you or the other members here to get to know me but Im being 100% honest about this guys. If this means anything, I swear on my daughters life and my mothers gave who has passed away that when I started my contract with 2 lines an 2 brand new evo shifts with 2.3 out of box that this really happened. The sensor flashed for notifications until about a week later when I performed the firmware, profile,prl and software update. It didnt even act like the prox. sensor should during calls until after the updates. And this was weeks before i even rooted the phones, they were completely stock.

You must have gotten a very very special shift and seeing as none of us have ever had a special shift like you i doubt we would even know where to begin on helping you fix your problem . You now have a normal shift thats not special anymore which is a shame... Not trying to be mean or sarcastic by any means
