My notification light doesn't blink for new sms, does yours? I've only seen it blink green for a missed call
Pretty sure this is a Windows Phone thing, and not specific to the model, as this is not the first place I have read this.
not working on mine either
Its just the way theyve set it up for now.
Id imagine a future update will change this. I hate checking my phone for messages when my ears are otherwise occupied

Hello all,
I have tried to find any app and informations about ability to notify about missed calls, new sms and emails by blinking or red LED (from green one). Even the change of frequency of green one would be nice. I have tried fews apps but no success. Is it impossible due hardware specs ? Thank you a lot.
Nope. You are right ...Not possible.
Hello everyone. I was wondering if there is a way to enable notifications (specifically those of the led) on the xoom while the screen is on. I know by default they only show up when it is not in use, but i dont know how many times i have missed a gtalk message or an important email because i was watching a movie and forgot to occasionally tap on the clock. There has to be an easier way than constantly checking my notifications to make sure i didnt miss anything. And one last thing, while we are on the topic of notifications; is there a way to do a "clear all" for the notifications?
Thanks,
Ryan

No clear all notifications. Many complaints on that already.
I think the idea was that if the screen is on, you will already see the notifications appear in the lower right bar. But I would also like to see the LED light blink as well. But I kind of feel lucky with what it is because my Samsung Captivate does not even have a notification LED at all and from what I hear, neither does the new Asus Transformer tablet. I am not sure why LED notification lights are so low priority with these devices as I feel it is a must.
Is there an app where if u receive a txt message, missed call, email or w.e. n let say you u weren't close by youre phone and phone goes back to standby or sleep. Will the led lights on the phone blink like a normal led notification on the g2x.

Yep agreed on that one. The only other 2 I have found worth while and tested are...
"Message Notification"
--This glows a large envelope (literally the size of your screen) momentarily then fades out. This occurs along with your default profile notification. You then have the option to adjust the reminder settings and frequency. For instance that screen with the envelope will glow then fade every 4 minutes if you'd like. I work with my phone resting on a cradle or propped up against something so if you're nearby and miss a text you'll see it shortly thereafter. I know you're OP referred to something without a constant reminder, I'm sure to save battery, but this is again totally customizable and pretty cool. It's worth giving it a shot and then delete if you dont like it.
...and...
"SMS Popup"
-I still use this as of today... when a SMS or MMS text comes in it actually pops up a "cartoon style quote bubble" that has the senders contact card in it as well as the first 4 or 5 lines of message text. You have 3 buttons to choose how to engage: Close, Delete, Reply. Clean UI and works nicely. It stays posted in the foreground so when you're droid wakes up or you unlock screen it'll be there... however it doesn't light up the screen aside from the initial receipt. Hope this helps... the one overground posted above is great too. I have that installed along with SMS Pop.
alright thank u yes the g2xone looks fantastic, n about the message notification i couldnt find it in the market but thank u once again.
This is my first motorola phone in a longg time, so apologies if this is some well known thing.
Is there a way to change the settings for the LED?
I like that FB is blue and my texts are Green, but then my emails seem to also be Green... Would rather Gmail be red or something.
Thanks!

Where are the controls to turn on these light notifications (for received text, for example)? I didn't know the default settings used the notification light at all. If I had, I might not have gone looking for an app
To answer your question, there is an app called 'Light Flow' that allows you to customize the notification LED for different events. You can change things like colors and flashing speed for different app notifications (text, gmail, calendar notification, missed calls, low battery, etc) and also add other apps so that their notifications can trigger the LED.
There is a 'Lite' version of the app that is fully functional so you can try it out. I just started using it but I really like it so far.
No idea, mine were on by default haha.
But thanks! I'll go check out the app.
I don't think there is a way to control the LED without a 3rd party app.

Lightflow is awesome!
I now have my led turn orange when charging and green when charged! How did Moto forget something so basic?
Hi:
Thanks to Vector for pointing out Light Flow. Between the mysterious, single, unread text message imported from my old phone and all of the emails sent out by groupon et all in the middle of the night, the green light was flashing all night.Thankfully, Light Flow has a sleep mode that turns the light off at night.
I was ready to return the phone as it was keeping me up. Really appreciated!

I dont know how to exactly explain the issue...
When you receive a text message your led light is supposed to blink green
This works most of the time
For some reason if I am texting someone and I leave the text message open and my screen goes to the black/screen saver screen, My led wont blink if that same person messages me... it will blink if another friend texts me.
Its kind of annoying.
Anyone else have this issue? I have had it since I got the phone.
It's because you're active in that action. You won't get all notifications. Just close it. I've noticed this myself, have not found a workaround per notification.
