It would be nice if the HTC Chacha also would flash it's LED while it is charging.
Unfortunately it just will show the Orange LED while charging although it could blink green/orange. Or I'd even say that missed call LED should come before charging LED.
Since I have the phone connected to the computer often an still leave the room I often don't notice that I missed some call in between. I might get used to this, but still... is it possible to change that?
Try this: https://market.android.com/details?...lt#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImltb2JsaWZlLmJsaW5rIl0.
Don't know if it works though.
Thanks. Maybe that helps, but.... why should an app like this need an internet connection and need to read my contacts??
Someone on the review of that app says his chacha only has green yellow lights- obviously he's never run his battery right down!
I'd like led to flash more too.

I have no idea whatsoever why this application requires access to internet or contacts, I'm not the developer of that application.
I simply used the most powerful feature of android market, the search function
I think it was a rhetorical question.

on the chacha it would also be possible to flash the facebook button instead. is there any app that can use the led of the facebook button?
Well, Light Flow can do this! It can even use the Facebook Button Light. However it seems that it can't use any other color than orange as long as the phone is charging, but at least you can switch the charging light off and use the orange light for missed calles, sms etc. Or you can use the facebook button anyway.

Guys,
I installed the Nueled LED driver (which used to work quite well with mogul) and looks like it has screwed up my LED notification. I even uninstalled it, did a hard reset and sprite restore but my feeling is that the LED is not behaving like it used to. I think there was a constant signal LED but I dont see it any more. The only LED notification which is working is the email one.
Even the WIFi and bluetooth are not giving any notification. any suggestion?
Also:
Can someone please tell me the default LED behaviour (with color) for Sprint 6.5 ROM for the following:
1. Signal available
2. Wifi
3. Bluetooth
4. Messages (Email/SMS/MMS)
5. Reminders
6. Battery Low
7. Charging
8. Battery full charged
Thanks!
if you hard reset there is no way the led is still messed up.
Actually you are right. Some ppc geeks guys confirmed thats how the LEDs have been configured in TP2 Sprint.

My LED only flashes on next text, email, i think missed calls. Other than that, and charging/charged, nother color or light comes up. Only orange and green. Thats how I got it so I guess thats how it supposed to be? LIke when I hook up to bluetooth, it doesnt turn blue or anything. I didnt think it was supposed to?

Yaa, after looking around here and there, I found out thats the case.
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.

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)
Apparently there is no blinking LED indicator for missed calls, i.e., you have to wake up the device to check for missed calls. I guess we can't be too picky at this price point, but does anyone know of a 3rd party app that would provide notification?

Not surprising actually, since the same situation holds for google phones like the Nexus 4 and 5 for example.
Try the excellent Led Blinkerapp which allows to configure the LED for various events including missed calls. The developer has an app thread here on xda.
The app allows you to even configure the LED light blink rate (or can set it to continuous). Please try and post back if this feature works on this phone!

Actually both the nexus 4 and the nexus 5 have colored led's that can be set using lightflow. I never really used it as much as I should.
Thanks guys. I installed the lite version of LED Blinker and it actually worked! It apparently uses it's own blinking light on the center bottom of the screen which is ok. So, this is at least a solution for the Idol 3 until something better comes along. By the way, "Missed Call Reminder" didn't work. "NoLed" did work, but I didn't like it.
Re you saying LED Blinker uses the home button in the nav bar for the blinker? If so that's pretty cool. I may have to try it.
Actually, I think it's right above the home button if I recall. Give it a try.
Although I have the setting enabled, I miss messages for hours because I never see the LED blinking. I know the hardware works because it lights up during charging and Textra can enable the LED through it's app. Do any of you have notification LED working for non-messaging apps like email, xda, banking, etc?
After searching around the forums and the web, it appears that EMUI only shows LED notifications for stock apps. It will only blink for 3rd party apps if those apps have an option within the app's setting. I am missing so many notifications because of this. Without that blinking light, the phone looks like nothing has happened, causing me not to wake it up to view the missed notifications. I hate this so much! This is the same problem I have with iPhones. You never know when a message is waiting for you because it doesn't blink. The phone could be completely powered off and you wouldn't notice until you tried to wake it up.

Thanks for the suggestion. Light manager works great, but it prevents the phone from sleeping and caused horrendous battery drain. I'll just have to get used to waking my screen regularly to check for notifications. Not only does this look like an iPhone, it acts like one too! Lol

LOL like the quote.. "Even acts like one" (iphone)
I must say I use Lm Pro 11.2 and I don't get the battery drain now. I used to but after a few clicks of the Phone manager my device has settled down OS is B360 L09.
Since I have read this I saw that notification led is working. At least for viber and it is like viber an purpel led color.. I did not saw for regular messages at least for now.. couse all was over viber.. but yeah its working..
Will report if the regular message will trigger the led notification
Yeah, I know messaging apps will trigger the LED, but a lot of my other apps don't get the same treatment. My banking app, my home security app, and even Google now traffic alerts don't trigger the LED. It kinda sucks!
For now it worked for normal messages with green led and viber with purple led..
Will try to see what about other apps like notificstions from you tube maybe..
If it is like you said for banking app and thoese other apps it may be incompatibility with this sistem or just with the setting option..
Becouse if it would not work at all then it would be something different.. but since some of default apps works and some not.. it could be the app incompatibility..
I think it'd a flaw in EMUI, because this didn't happen with any other Android phone I've ever owned.
You are right

Honor 8 LED light not working all of a sudden
I have a problem with the LED light stopped working at all. Yesterday, there was a red light going on for hours, which made me turned the phone off. Today, the LED light just stopped working for any apps and doesn't even lights on while charging. I have switched into the option of setting the screen on whenever I get a notification, but it's not the same as the LED light, because this drains the battery. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this problem? I'll appreciate it.
Did you try a wipe cache or an Hard Reset?
