I'm trying to figure out why red led keeps blinking even I dismiss reminder. If I understand correctly alert led should stop blinking when I take care of whatever made it.
I've noticed that when I delete text message while ring tone is active it does not stop red led but when I wait for end of it- everything is fine.
I don't want to set short period of blinking in alert settings.
i used have problem like that, but after i install ROM newest ROM the problem gone. :wink:
Happens to me from time to time, seems to happen when I just dismiss a reminder the 'wrong' way (just hitting the hang up button instead of hitting Dismiss... although even when I do that it still does it sometimes). Its behaviour seems to be affected if I also have an unread text message in my inbox, or if I'm in a call when the reminder pops up... There's x amount of circumstances where it just doesn't go away (and it pisses me off no end, I don't like red blinking lights as they're invariably bringers of bad news! )

Hi,
The two lights on top of the xda2i.
I know the left one goes blue when bluetooth is active and the right one goes amber when charging and flashes green when active but what do the other colours mean? The one on the right flases red sometimes but I don't have a low battery.
Any ideas?
thanks,
Tom
When it flashes Red it is an indication for something else, such as a Missed Call, New text message, new email, or other such event.
Go into Settings and select "Sounds and Notifications".
Select the "Notifications" tab.
Select any "Event". (such as Phone: Missed Call)
This will include a tick box option that says "Flash light for: ## minutes"
By changing these settings you can customise WHEN the right hand LED flashes and for how long it does, for the relevent events.
This option is not available for every event however, such as a new Activesync connection, as for this, there is not much point in it flashing.
Hope this helps,
Dazzer.
The left LED also flashes green when you have a Wireless Network connection
excellent, i had never seen the flash light bit before. thanks guys

The phone is continuously blinking that I have a new sms!
I restarted, same thing!
I went through each and every sms in my inbox/email folders so that if one was "new" it would be read since I entered it.
Still blinking, so I uninstalled it, restarted and re-installed it. Still blinking!!
I then uninstalled it, restarted, installed it this time on my storage card, restarted and same! Still damn blinking.
I even turned off all light notifications and restarted, then enabled blinking, still blinking! I even changed lights but still blinked green and blue!
Wheres the malfunction?
thanks
Green blinks are normal for me, seem to mean the phone is on. And blue blinks means Bluetooth is on. This can be changed to some extent with a program, but I don't recommend it because the initial version of the program strangely doesn't allow setting the blue blink as an indicator of Bluetooth being on, which is SUCH a weird thing, since it's the default not only for this phone but pretty much for all phones with Bluetooth capability.

You are not familiar with this app called Kaiser Notification by Phil Lee.
It allows you to disable lights and then enable lights for different notifications.
So you can set it to blink green (right lamp) for new sms and blue for new email or vice versa.
You can have it blink amber for bluetooth on, red for missed call and green for phone in service.
Or you can turn off all blinking notifications.
Mine is blinking blue even though I have no new sms.
Hi
This problem has been reported before although I've never seen it. What seems to happen is Windows Mobile gets out of sync with the count of unread messages. The program itself just looks at these counts so if it is told by Windows Mobile there are 'x' unread messages it sets the LED flashing.
A fix is discussed here which requires using a registry editor to reset the counts. I'm working a newer version with some extra features and will look to change the code to either include this fix or to keep count of messages itself rather than use the Windows Mobile reported counts.
Hope the above helps.
Regards
Phil
Hi Phil,
Thanks for taking the time to create such a great app and the time to respond to errors. I checked the thread you referred to and it is literally exactly what im going through,e xcept I havent edited the registry yet.
Thanks again!
Extremely minor issue here, every now and again my trackball blinks white twice, and when i go to check for notifications, there's nothing. Anyone know why?
It might be data connection. I have this happen when I lose and reconnect.
Possibly k9mail. I think there's an option to turn that off. It flashes when its checking the email.
I have noticed that the HD7 LED indicator does not blink for new text messages. It is really bothering me because I have to turn on the phone every couple minutes to check for new messages. It blinks for missed calls and lights up when charging so I know its working. Is this a defect with the phone?

It's not a defect as you say, it simply isn't written to blink for a new SMS. If enough people complain about it, they could update the software to blink on new text messages, or at least give the user the choice to use that option.
Last night my tackball was notifying me perfectly fine.
I charged my phone over night, woke up this morning and responded to a text message (the light was blinking) and went back to sleep.
I woke up two hours later to a text and email and the trackball was not blinking and no longer does for any notifications (text, email, kik).
I've gone into settings and disabled/reenabled "Pulse notification light" and reset the phone to no avail. The LED physically works because it flashes white upon boot up, but for some reason it's not lighting up for notifications.
Running stock 2.3.3 unrooted
Solutions?
after a restore the notification light blinks repeatedly only if the screen is off. if you get the notification while the screen is on it doesn't go off at all.
once you turn the screen on (if you just flash it on and off), even if you don't unlock the phone and pull down the notification screen, the notification blinking stops completely.
pulse notification light is still checked...
