Why, we have a notification LED. I loved BLN for my Vibrant, but I don't see how it is needed here.

That's what they mean.
Notification light within the speaker
Is this what you're referring to?
It only shows up if i have the charger plugged in. Orange when charging and green when charge complete.
Shouldn't this be where your alerts are shown too? I have them set up via this menu:Settings > Display < Notification flash , however i never see any light come on when i have new messages.
Won't work, fascinate had an amoled screen which o believe can turn on individual pixels. The tbolt has an lcd screen which uses a backlight which only lights up the whole screen

He's referring to the backlighting on the soft keys, not the actual touch screen.
This would be great if it's possible. The notification LED is horrible on the TB.
Backlight support, if I remember correctly, has to be built into the kernel... I've only used it with Nero rom on the Samsung Vibrant, never on an HTC device. If you don't like the notification lights on the Thunderbolt, you can download NOLED app from the market... It works well on phones I've tried that have no notification lights like the Nexus S...

Hmmm... never heard of that app. Will check it out. Thanks man!
bumping this hoping its possibile now
now that the source is out
I use an app called "Flashlight Alert" from the market or can be found on the XDA forum.it uses the LED to alert you of email, text, google voice and calls. It's free and doesn't require any additional addons.off that does catch your attention then nothing will. I even used it on my Xoom.
try "missed message flasher" it flashes the backlight whenever you get a new message. it can repeat until you check it or you can set time limits. tons of options and works for all notifications.
If you're rooted there is an app called light flow that works very well. Makes the led notifiers actually serve a purpose.
I've used TeslaLED on my other phones with success. On the G2X it acts weird. It'll toggle on and off most of the time, but it's extremely delayed, and the widget and notification widget don't show I turned it off.
Anybody know of one that works good with this phone?

LED Light FTW...Search for LED Light in the market and it comes up as tiny flashlight + led...thats the one
I use one called "Magnify."
It not only is handy as a flashlight, but acts as a magnifying glass (with the camera) to help do things like read small print.
I found Tiny + the other day, it works fine but IMO it a pain to use.
On the Nexus One there was an app call Nexus One Flashlight, it was a simple one slot widget that would toggle the LED on and off with a single touch. I kept it on my center screen and used it all the time.
I'd like to find a flashlight app that toggles the G2x's flash on and off with a single touch.

Tiny+ has a widget. Works pretty well. Not perfect, but 99% there until something gets updated specifically for our phone.

That one works well for me also. No widget, but a shortcut to it does just fine. Just press the back button to turn off.
+1 for Tiny Flashlight + LED
I use the widget and it's one touch on, one touch off. Widget is only 1x1. Perfection.
I simply use Google Goggles. I never need the LED light for long so I don't mind the camera running with it for a little.
I've been using Tiny+ myself. Widget works fine and haven't really had much trouble with fc's. Anyone know of a way to use the hardbuttons (volume up, down) to activate the led? Or better yet, an app that already does that?
I was using this app for my G2X and thought it might be nice if the developer could make it work for the Sensation, since the notification light is so small. I emailed him to see if it was possible. Any interest in this let the developer know.
It's pretty cool, it lights up the bottom four keys and pulses them when you get a message, so when your screen is off you see the white lights blinking. You can set the times and if you want it to fade in and out.

cool app, i used it on my g2x also... think he can make our notification light blink in different colors? probably only green/red/orange... about to try an app I used on my mt4g to see if it works
I am using Gmail Notifier that I loved on my n1. Unfortunately, you can't select colors of the led (even limited choice that we see on the sensation).
I used the other one on my g2x as well but what I really want is to be able to tell which gmail account an email came from by led notification. Fingers crossed for someone to create something like this.

Will give bln a try once we have root and a kernel that supports it. Looks pretty cool.
Is this still possible now that we have temp root? I would really like this app to work on my sensation.

Found the App for this, it's called Led Me Know. Works perfectly for the led notifications. You have to enable keyboard light up and compatability mode.

Do you mean the captive buttons? It doesn't work with compatibility checked. Only thing it does is flash the small led on top.
EDIT: Captive buttons do not light in my case. Do I need to check the box labeled screen on as well?
Ok I forgot to mention you have to have temp root and another app to make this work. Its called Light Flow and the way I made it work was having the paid app. I opened up Light Flow, it asked me for root access, I accepted it, then it asked me to turn on Accessibility. So i did and checked Light Flow. Once I did all that, I went back into the app and went to General Settings, clicked direct mode. Once I did that I scrolled a little further down to "Button back light control" and clicked the option "Control-when the screen is off". After that I went into "Notification" clicked "SMS" and scrolled down to "Button backlight LED" and chose "Solid". Now this is where LED me know comes into play.
I opened LED me know and I made sure "Compatability" was checked. I clicked all the services I want like SMS, Missed Calls, and Gmail. Now I clicked the "Notifications" tab and clicked SMS, I chose LED color to whatever I liked (Green) then chose the LED Frequency to Normal, but you can change that. After all that, checked Keyboard and Keyboard blink. Test it and see if it works.
Wow, I just tried the pre-release of LED me know, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13929058&postcount=495 and it asked for root permission. Ever since that, its been working great without having to do all these steps I posted. Can anyone try this method?

Just tried using this version and seems to be working well for me. No need to bother with the steps in the previous post.

On the new stock 2.3.4 that was just released, there are 2 features I miss greatly.. one is the dimming of the led lights.. and the other is using them as a notification. Has anyone found an app that works? I did find 1 notification app but from what I read, it sucks the battery down cuz it flashes.. can't do a steady light.
Thanks !
Did you try LG Touch LED Notification? It has steady light option.

There's a link in the thread I started about the application for notification toggles in this sub-forum. As to your question about the text things. Your phone lights up while you're texting? That's kind of normal don't you think. The screen coming on when the text comes in is a stock messaging thing. Nothing that can be done except installing a custom messaging application, as far as I know, I like that it lights up.

So I was considering taking my new RAZR HD Maxx back because my notification light seems to not be working. I ran the battery down and there was a red light flashing, so I'm wondering...... is there something I have to do to get the notification light to work for notifications of the normal things like email, text, talk, facebook etc?
Thanks in advance!

download the light flow app and test notification. My first one didn't work at all. I exchanged it and the new one worked flawless, no issues. If the notification test doesn't work with the light flow app, I suggest you take it back and exchange it and download the app in store to test the exchanged unit.
My exchanged unit worked asap with the test I ran with the light flow app.
There is a video on droid-life I believe that shows you how to do it. Just google, droid razr hd notification light and it will show up.

Yeah, I had the same problem. First time I set it up, I restored from my Google account and the LED did not work at all for notifications. I tried Light Flow, but that did not get the LED's working again. I factory reset the device, but this time I did not restore from my Google account and the LED's starting working again. I had to manually restore my apps and settings.
I've done this a few times to test and everytime I restore from my Google account, the LED stops working. Definitely a bug in the restore functionality.
Dang, same problem here. Looks like I'll have to factory restore tomorrow after root and tibu.

You're right. I checked with Andrew. The phone LED only works when it's off.
