So I took the plunge and rooted, flashed beans ROM. Loving it so far.
My only issue is that my notification light doesn't blink it now stays on constantly.
I've kept my setting the same bit cannot get this corrected.
Has anyone else had this issue?? If so how'd you fix it.

The notification light is supposed to blink? I didn't stay on stock long enough to notice.
Rooted stock rom here and led notification works fine.

Lol, its supposed to blink. I'd like to hear from someone running another rom to see if it is happening to them as well.

I too am just stock rooted using noxious ninjas method and since seeing this thread i've only had a facebook notification and that is just a solid red, not blinking but i'm not sure about other notifications since I haven't had any yet.... But before I rooted, I could've sworn a FB notification showed up as a kind of purple light and now its just red!?
[Edit] I just sent an email to myself to test the notification and it does blink blue, so it is working and per the comment below, FB wouldn't make it blink anyways.
3rd party apps don't blink the light. Stock apps do.
That stinks that 3rd party apps dont blink. Is that something that can be addressed in future builds??
Any other workaround or mod??

I agree, super annoying. Wish my led would blink for sms and mms, instead of just staying on.

I can't seem to get LED notifications working in cyanogens mod..I'm using Handcent and when I go to set up the notifications for it, I click on flash LED but when I go to test it, it doesn't work..anyone know a solution to this?
Thanks

Oh, that's interesting. I think I have a similar issue, but I'm using a nightly from 9/8. I get text LED's, but not e-mail when using K9, unless there's an option in K9 that turns these on/off. FYI, I'm not using handcent.

I get my LED notifications using the AOSP MMS but I can't speak for thrid party apps... double check your system settings (not just the app settings)
Darch rebuilt the LED programming (or so he said) so I don't know. Mine will light up solid, but will not flash. Kinda frustrating, but small potatoes in the large scheme I guess.
My phone also doesnt show the notification LED. I miss having the green LED blinking when I have a missed call or text. Hopefully they can fix this issue.
Ok not to be an ass but do u not read ANY RULES? and yea caps bcuz u guys don't read. This is not Q&A section. There is a huge STICKY THREAD IN ALL CAPS saying this.
Like I said sorry to be like this but the forums are getting overun by posts in the wrong section or just didn't bother searching.

Have you guys gone into handcents settings and changed the LED light to green or orange? I had the same problem but found that the LED was defaulted to a color that our LEDs dont have. Check it and see if it helps.

Ditto. I asked in the Testing for Hero thread if anyone else was having the same problem last week and got no reply. Running 9/6 nightly.
LED won't blink/flash when a message, email, or missed call is received.
What part of " PLEASE POST "Questions" and "Non ROM developement" THEADS IN THE CORRECT FORUMS" did you not understand? I'm so tired of seeing questions clogging up the dev forum, it's getting ridiculous
Agreed...he isn't new either so either he is just stupid or doesn't pay attention at all.

Since Charge does not have a dedicated notification LED for new message,vm,missed calls etc like HTC Phones, is it possible to make the lights of the Hardbuttons blink?
Hmm... That's a great suggestion!

Would probably only be useful during nighttime. I cant even tell if they're on during the day...

or, if possible, make the camera LED flash blink. Would probably sap battery but I'm almost positive it can be done seeing as apps like Flashlight + LED exist and even have widgets to turn the LED on with a simple click, even on the home page.
Does anyone know if the noLED app works for the Charge? I had that on my Fascinate and it worked pretty well.

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.

Sorry, would have given you credit but I forgot who it was. :-( Big thanks though love it.
Does anyone actually use it? I've had nothing but problems with it. The CM notification manager works for maybe 1-2 notifications and it stops working. Lightflow tends to be the same way unless I restart the app. I loved my notification LED on my nexus. Anyone have any solutions?

I'm running synergy and use it all the time, mainly for text messages, that way i can just look my phone and know if i have a text or not
I find it to be helpful, and use it. Running stock still, works flawlessly.
Works fine, other then GO SMS doesn't blink. Lightflow sucks, ate my battery up when it shouldn't be doing it. I would not have gotten this phone if their wasn't a LED, never would know I was called/texted.

Everything works for me, even Go Sms, when using Light Flow. The dev officially got the ins and outs working awhile back and I can modify my colors and see notifications for all my important apps. I've been using that app (full version) for a few weeks and I haven't had any battery issues with Light Flow.

lightflow caused battery issues for me
for about 2 weeks, my phone would not go to sleep as it would always be in partial wakelock.
i used betterbatterystats to get an idea of what was going on, and it pointed out that "alarm manager" was causing the partial wakelock. when i checked out the alarms, lightflow had significantly more alarms running to cause the partial wakelock.
i uninstalled lightflow, and immediately my battery life improved. the difference was huge.
but that was my experience. some people don't have issues with light flow, so give it a try and see how/if it affects you
I had entirely forgotten about lightflow. Used it on my Droid X. But never on my Bionic. Totally forgot I even paid for this app. Thanks for the reminder. Works great. GoSMS by default would mess up the LED color everytime. This makes em proper. Good call. Thanks to you

Light flow was working great for me for a few days last week when I first got it, but since yesterday, it's been keeping my phone awake the entire time and was killing my battery so I uninstalled it. My phone is sleeping normal again. I've just reinstalled it again to see if it'll work normal like before.

Yea, I've heard those issues as well. I was worried about that going into purchasing the app. I'm not sure if it helps but I have Light Flow set for night hours from 12a-7a so might that impact it in keeping my phone asleep? Just a a question I have for those who have tried and noticed battery drain overnight.

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!

So I did some more googling, looks like if you use the "restore" feature it can cause the LED not to work properly when setting up the device.... i mean WTF lmfao.... anyone found any work arounds let me know. I'll hold off until Monday to do a wipe and see if I can get this working.....

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.
I wouldn't use light flow (free version). Tried it for a bit and made my phone reboot, freeze, and go really slow. Of you have bad battery, I would say light flow is the cause.
