Is this possible using an app? Will MS allow such apps in the store? I want to get notification lights with custom colors when I have new SMS, missed calls, etc. and not just when charging.
The 8x doesn't have an RGB LED, so only the amber and green are available, and can't be changed

Meh. Thanks.
Still hoping that MS will implement this feature at some point in time. Its what I loved on my Nexus while at work where I just needed a quick glance at the led to know whats going on. Even a simple blinking green light would suffice for notifications really.
Are you sure about this? I don't think so that they're using a RED and a GREEN LED. It's easier to use an RGB LED.
I hope so, and the vibrate function isnt the best, would like for messages it had short burst vibrations. I'm just used to android since I was using it for 3 years!

[Q] LED Notifcation light
Hi,
When I get an SMS and my DS is on the table, I see the green LED notification light flashing for a short moment and then it turns off ? Is this normal ?
Also it appears that the Notification LED only flashes either Amber or Green. Ive not had a Desire before so im not sure if this is a hardware limitation or a software limitation. Does it not support Blue, Red etc?

All HTC smartphone blinks for only five minutes. On old model you can use Led Me Know or Missed Reminder to customize led notifications, but does not works on Gingerbread
Anyone know if the LED has any other colours than green / amber / red ?
I'm keen to know this too. . on my previous phone (HTC Desire) the LED light could do a variety of colors. green,amber,pink,blue,white,light blue. I was using GO sms to get the colours. but it seems that Desire S does not have the same LED.
As far as I know the led just supports green, amber and a kind of red. It's not a rgb led:-(
If you want the led to notify you longer than just five minutes use light flow from the market. I used it some time and it works. You can set the color an kind if notification for each event (eg sms, missed call, etc). But you need a rooted device. I got the full version and don't know if it works even with the light one. Try it and tell us;-)

CyanogenMod7 has some options to tune notification light. You can set it to keep blinking all the time, untill you will read new message or see a missed call (even while screen is on). Also you can set the color: green or amber.

I'm don't particularly care for the green LED notification for missed calls, etc. On my DesireHD I used an app LED Me Know that let me change the color or the notification LED as well as the frequency of the flash. LED Me Know won't work on a rooted Sensation, are there any other alternatives that let you change the color of the LED? Thanks

As of now, there are no other solutions for you. As a reminder all you have is Green and Amber. Rumours of red are floating, but Green and Amber are your two LED choices. You are stuck until a good mod comes around.
Gone are the days of the RGB LEDs. :-(

Well, if you flash amber and green at the same time, you get orange/yellow color. So we could say we have 3 colors
Swyped from my HTC Sensation
I would be OK with amber notifications, it shows up much better than green to me, and I would like to be able to increase the frequency of the flashes but it looks like I'll have to wait .
My led indicator changes colors on its own, some hours of the day, it will be green for all my notifications, some hours it will be blue, some will be red. Does anyone else have this issue? I do not have a led app, but am seriously thinking of getting just to keep some consistency.
Thanks

What i have noticed is the LED indicator changes color depending on what notification it is. For example I never set any color notifications but for google+ its an orange/yellow. And Facebook is blue.
Thats the funny thing, it doesnt. All the notifications are the same, but they change. Like i said, for one hour, Gmail could be red, then its green, then its something else. Its totally ghostbusterish. Ive read that there are issues with the the LED on the US models.

thanks for the link to light flow.
although i am not using a led app, and the color changes by itself. so i am confused why you sent me this.

There are multiple problems with the LED on the S3.

Can it be that you have multiple notifications? For example you have a gmail notification thats red and you do not check...soon after you get a facebook notification and the LED changes color due to overwriting the gmail notification. I guess what I am trying to say is the most recent notification will change the LED light can be a possibility.
Can someone please try an app such as LedBlinker and report whether the Idol 3 has an RGB notification LED that can be configured to show any color ? Photos of the phone showing the notification light would be great too!
+1. Was gonna ask the same question.
no it does not i tried it

You cannot use it for notifications even with white color? I read in at least 2 places that it has an LED. Did you try both Led Blinker and Light Flow ?

Notification LED works right out the box - without any additional apps. However, it is not colored.

Actually, on Nexus devices it also works out of the box, but additional apps help to tailor it for what you need, like missed calls, and 3rd party email clients. So I was wondering if LedBlinker works with this phone, even if the LED lights only white. BTW LedBlinker has a customization to make the LED blink faster or slower.
so sad... :crying:
Still buying it, but... better than no led at all I guess
Does anyone know if this phone has a LED notification light like the P20?
There's no LED notification light on the P30. It would be nice if part of the screen would pulse on unread notifications, but I haven't found such an option yet.
buy a smartwatch instead, it does the trick.

I'm using the NoLED Settings app for this. Not perfect but does overcome my problem of no notification LED - can't believe it was sacrificed to allow a slightly smaller notch!.
I use Always on Edge here. Not perfect, but better than nothing.
