well.. im using Himalaya XDA 2 for over 2 years and been already used with the RED Blinking LED when missed call or SMS Messages arived..
In wizard i found it difficult to determine wether there are sms or missed calls because orange and green are quite somewhat similar and har to determine..
It took me 2-3 sec to determine..
Are there any tweak/hack to make it RED LED?
with RED LED just in 1 sec you could already determine..

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! )
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!
I am looking for a way to configure the LED on my Kaiser, so that p.ex. on a missed call, a new sms/mms or email, the LED flashes differently, in a different color or stays light.
Have tried nueLED which should do that and much more, but without results.
Any thoughts on how to achieve the LED config?
Thanks and rgds

Good luck removing nueLED, it's been stuck on my device since I installed it long ago... Blergh..
KaiserNotification is another one which modifies the LED behavior, but it doesn't change the inherent behavior of the lights, only allows you to modify which lights show..
Such as I don't want the stupid "signal" or "GPS", or "Bluetooth" lights so I disable those. I set missed calls to Red, Missed SMS/MMS to blue, unread emails to Green.
One caveat is that you no longer see charging/charged lights.. I dunno if there's some way around this, but it's not a huge deal for me.
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.

According to the folks at Light Flow Samsung changed the way the LED works. They haven't figured it out yet and different color notifications don't work right yet.

Light flow is working with no issues for me. Have set up about 5 different colors for notifications and they are all working for me

How about whatsapp ? Is anyone able to try out for me ?
lightflow is working ok considering my phone isnt currently rooted. i hate that damn persistent notification when its unrooted.
i do have to admit that this LED is much better than the one on the note 4. this one is much brighter and vibrant.

Hey mate I'm having this exact issue. Wondering if it is a hardware fault or normal behavior!

I have the same issue on my Note 5 (N920C), pink led color on whatsapp notifications, tested with light manager and seems like the LED is not able to reproduce a white colour.
Does anybody know if this is an hardware fault or something that can be fixed with a future SW update?

It's normal. Dont sweat it and use the phone. Every note 5 is like this
I use NoLed. Works great with our screens. Every Led app i have tried has had its own minor bug. Light flow shows a star in the notification bar for gmail notifications. Led blinker for some reason shows duplicate notifications for some of my emails using Bluemail. NoLed seems to work flawlessly and never shows up in my battery stats.
It seems many colours are not well reproduced.
I set YELLOW color for WhatsApp but many times the resulting notification led color is RED.
It's just the first tick. Subsequent ticks are the 'right' color
I have the same problem using Light Manager. Whenever i set the color YELLOW, it turns RED. And the LED light for FB messenger doesnt seem to work. I tried to set it to BLUE but it is always giving me a green color that blinks every 2 secs where i set it to blink in BLUE every 3 secs. It appears some apps has it own LED configuration in Note5. I hope this will be fixed in the next updates.
I'm having an issue with a note 5 from sprint (N920P) and after flashing a clean ROM the LED stopped working, neither with any type of notification nor on the hidden menu *#0*# , I've already check the settings and it's turned on, any help please
