I need some help. Is there a way to make the green LED light blink in an other colour (red/yellow) in case of a new message has arrived or a calender reminder has been started? This has been one of the functions that worked with all other HTC devices. The LED is totally useless with this device by blinking green the whole time, only changing to yellow when loading the battery nad red when battery is empty.
I'm not sure about changing the colour, but this device actually has two led lights, I wouldn't consider it completely useless
One on the right shows the battery status:
Red - Batt Low
Orange - Charging
Green - Fully charged
The one on the left :-
blinks blue - bluetooth enabled
blinks green - Wifi is enabled
There are programs like DontForget that allow the led to flicker on reminders, mails, messages etc. Check here:-

thanks for your reply and you are right about the two LED. I was aware of this and of the relating functions. I am also aware of the "don't forget" app but this app does not change the LED on a WM6 device. I am looking for a way to bring the right LED to blink in a changed colour in the case of an event. other htc devices do so, so there must be a way to stir these LED lights. still looking and maybe soemeone has a registry hack or some ideas on this. thx
Hi research12,
did you end up finding a solution to this problem?.. I have exactly the same issue with the vox and would like to find an application or something that can do this...

I am afraid, no. Nobody could solve the issue yet according to my knowledge.
Is there a way to disable the LED indicator? Maybe a registry editing command to accomplish this?
Nope. Sorry, but it's hardware! There are solutions, but they don't work properly!

Yeah, i too want to disable the green blinking led. It uses a sustantial portion of battery for no use, which irritates a lot. Can someone here give any Registry tweak for that??
actually its consumption is very low

does it works on VOX?
you should try with fake cursor
I've searched around a bit and no luck. Is there any way to get the screen to light up when a new SMS is received? The trackball lighting up is a nice idea, but I rarely notice it when my phone is on silent. I've looked through every option on the N1 and don't see it anywhere. I also searched the nexus forums here and with Google. Thanks.
wow you rarely notice the trackball? I find the trackball notification way to bright. such an option is indeed not available. I am not sure if many others have your problem, so I am guessing they wont make an app for that

Have you tried Handscent SMS: http://www.handcent.com/. Does the job nicely; turns the screen on with a handy quick reply pop-up. Make sure you disable the default message notifications mind.

Wow, this is perfect. Thank you!
If you are like me, and prefer the stock messaging app, then you should look at SMSAwake.
1 vote for Handcent from me.
It works perfectly with ALOT of options and settings to choose from.
I use SMS Popup from the Market and it works great. It also has its own notifications, or you can just use the default N1 ones.

Hi,
Is there an app (working with the Sensation) that can make the LED notification light flash continually until you actually open the new message or am I stuck having to bring the phone out of sleep incessantly to check if anything new has come in?
Surely such an app would just eat battery up for no reason.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I've been having a look at this myself,
(i am a noob when it comes to devolping apps)
but i was one first to get desire and there
was a command that you can run (without root)
to get the led to flash different colours length etc..
Tried this on the sensation and just get a file cannot be found.
(if you want to now the command then pm me or
il post it up not that it be much help)
so basically this means all existing apps with run on this old
command, so a new one will be needed when somebody figures
out the file name for the sensation led - then you can
just push a number to it using the echo command and itl work.
put into a java script and your done
wait so the notification light only lasts for 5 minutes? wtf?

What?? Is this true???
You know, I never noticed that since it's my second line. Interesting. Maybe part the reason the standby time is so good on this phone. (really reaching)
I did leave my phone alone for a few hours and no flashing led for my peep mentions.

any update on this?
I just got the phone and the lack of a notification sound or light is a big negative for me.
I would love to see the app NoLED work for the Sen4G which would be a perfect fix for this issue
The HTC Sensation does have notification by sound, LED and Vibration, look closer at your settings check out the settings in HTC Hub

The problem I'm having with NoLED is that I also use Handcent SMS and when you clear the NoLED notification screen it also closes the sms popup window. It's kind of annoying. A fix around that issue is the problem I'm having.
Just installed SMS Popup & it seems to have an option to repeat your reminder & can set an interval. It even turns on the screen which I missed!!!
Testing now.

Edit: yep, works perfectly. Only downside is you lose the awesome lockscreen feature of showing the envelope & text
Any update or workaround?

That's only for SMS, which I literally never use. (I use Google Voice for 100% of my texting.)

Haha yes! And I've successfully converted a few others as well. I mainly use it because I can text via my work PC or my home PC. Texting with a full keyboard = a thousand times better
Plus saving on text messaging costs, and ease of porting number over yadda yadda
Anyway, I've been testing out NoLED today and it's a nice app but I don't like that it turns the entire screen on. Massive battery loss there.
Is there a better way?
from what I've read NoLED was made with an AMOLED screen in mind where black doesn't drain the battery because those LEDs are actually off
I've been using NoLED with Handcent. There is an option in NoLED that is Handcent specific that seems to keep the sms popup under the NoLED notification. Just unlock NoLED with the volume rocker and the popup window will remain open. Only downside is when the phone is on vibrate you will be constantly taking the phone out of vibrate mode to unlock NoLED to view sms popups. At that point you'd have to use the home or back key to unluck NoLED but it will dismiss the sms popup. So NoLED is ALMOST a nice fix. Gonna use it for now until something better comes along.

After going through all the app's options and menus extensively, I now have it set to disable the screen via the proximity sensor (ie if in my pocket etc).
Now I'm trying to use the Blink feature so if my phone is on a table or somewhere exposed, the screen isn't 100% on. Rather, it turns off/on periodically.
However, it seems the Blink feature doesn't work on the Sensation? When I get a notification, the screen never turns on.
If I disable blink, it works again right away (but then the screen is on 100% of the time when not in my pocket).
Anyone else experienced this?
First, I know there is NO notification LED on the Charge. I'm sure some of you are tired of requests and want to yell at me, and others want to say I told you so, there is a notification LED.
I want t see if there is an app that would allow the bottom hardware buttons to function as the notification LED. Similar to how the HTC Touch Pro 1 notifications worked (pulsing for e-mail, fade in/out for sms, etc...).
Any ideas?

NoLED. There's a workaround to get only the backlit keys working.

there is a way to enable BLN (backlight notifications) but it must be done through some custom kernel work, which afaik right now is not possible since we don't have kernel source code to work with

Yea, I forgot to mention in my original post I've tried noLED. It worked fine except the whole power button thing was annoying. I had to turn the screen "on" with the home button (even though technically the screen is already on. The app said the power button feature is buggy). Again, this just goes to personal preference, and some people may not understand why I have trouble when it works for them, but I have my own preferences as that's just me. I don't like the screen bright at night, so I changed the icon colors, then I couldn't see the icons well during the day, so I had to change them back. I don't like that the icons flash around the screen (even though that's to get my attention - hence the whole purpose of the app), but it didn't completely suit my needs. It is a good app, and I'll continue to use it (I'll have to reinstall it), but my main problem is I couldn't configure it to show Google Voice notifications. I don't use sms, I only use Google Voice, and this didn't work as well. Same with the puzzle lockscreen; it doesn't show Google Voice notifications.
If you monitor google voice (in settings) it does show google voice notifications because I do it. The little google voice pops up.

Not completely true... We have the kernel source for Froyo. We (TeamGummyCharged) worked on BLN's for the charge but failed on first try.. The BLN also requires a binary for the lights one that is not compatible with the Charge.. Maybe after 2.0 is released and we have more time we will pick it up again by reaching out to the original dev for that project but at the moment it is shelved.

nice, good to know you guys can work on it... I personally don't see a use for it as the hardkey lights don't seem bright enough, though it'd be nice as an option (I'm coming from a Fascinate where they were bright and actually useful lol)
I have the Chinese version of the phone.
I am wondering, does this phone have any kind of mail, message or notification light when the screen is off?
If someone sends me a Line, Messenger or Gmail message, is there any kind of blinking light, edge lighting or glowing ring around the punch hole?
I am looking in the options and all I can find is an edge lighting option for phone calls.
But if someone calls me, and I miss the call, when the screen is off there is no blinking light or anything. Help.
There is no notification LED/Light.
I'm using True Edge which works to a point, seems to work great and then just stop - even with all the battery optimisation settings set correctly etc. But I think this is your best choice.
Thanks for the answer about no notification light.
Also thanks for the app recommendation.
Does anyone know of a good app that will put a notification ring around the punch hold camera with the screen on or off?
Please share. Thanks.

I've been following this and already contacted to the developer to get our beloved oppo find x2 pro supported!
In the meantime I'm using battery bar. Not ad perfect ad the punch hole ring, but I'm ok until we get supported.

OMG, that eats battery.
I have found that the developer of True Edge also do the same, but with an AOD which also appears to work. Its called AMOLED, and actually includes the same options as True Edge
