I tried a bunch of searching and just keep finding stuff about trackball wake, trackball colors, etc.
My problems is that my trackball will only light up on an incoming call, nothing else. Not email, text (even with Handcent), or tweets.
I was previously running CM 5.0.6, which they all worked then. Of course I updated to Froyo this weekend (Thanks Paul!!), with a full wipe. I have also reflashed Pauls new Froyo with no radio this morning with no change.
Any ideas?

OK, evidently the trackball will only light up for me when the screen is off. So try this. Download handcent, send a test notification to your phone, but don't click ok, simply shut off the screen and see if the trackball lights up.
Also, I don't know how some people are managing to get it to light up with the screen on, because as soon as my screen powers on the notification dissapears. I remember in Cyanogen there was an option to pulse while the screen was on, but so far I've been unable to find it in the stock FroYo build. Anybody have any suggestions?
got it all worked out now.
I had to turn off quick reply in Handcent. It was turning on the screen and therefore not allowing the trackball to light up. I just sent a text with screen off and it worked ok. I guess the "test notification" in Handcent is not 100% yet. I havent seen an option to pulse while screen was on either...dont think its there, yet.

my always pulse function in the CM RC3 settings is not working, the actual notifications pulse for messages and everything is working but the always pulse when screen is on is not working , how can i fix this?
i'm also experiencing the same thing..
Are you guys thinking that the option is supposed to always flash when the screen is on, without any notifications waiting? Because that's not how I interpreted it.
I thought the option was for your regular notifications to continue flashing while when the screen turns on. Because originally you couldn't have colored notifications while the screen was on, they would stop when you turned it on.
What is that option supposed to do?
I thought its an always pulse while the screen is on option. In fact it was working for a few minutes wen i first flashed the rom but now its stopped. I think there must something conflicting with it. Dont kno wat tho

Normally they stay lit if I have a notification. I turned the back light notification off through clockwork. Im running assonance 4.3
But I think they are helping to fuel my extra battery loss. What can I do to turn these lights off if the phone is asleep.
Check the Assonance build log, it probably has backlight notification (BLN). You'll need to turn that off if you want.
You might have a BLN app, or otherwise you'll have to do it throught Clockwork
I already stated in my original post that I had disabled the bln from clock work. Do you have any other ideas.
Despite whatever notifications I have and whatever ROM or kernel I use (even stock), the trackball won't flash. It simply lights up at random whenever I'm using the phone. I can also send an echo command to the correct directory and make the trackball light turn on or blink so I know it's working. What could possibly be wrong? It also won't come on at all if the display is off. Is that normal? I'd like to use that for notifications instead of the LED but it's no good if it only works with the screen on.
The trackball light isn't used for notifications. I think I have seen some apps for using the trackball for notification, but if not you will have to do some xml editing to use it for notifications. If the other lights come on but not the trackball it could be a problem with the rom. When porting a rom from one phone to another there has to be edits to files to make it work. If none of the lights come on, then it is because your phone deems it bright enough where you are at.
Ah alright. Out of curiosity, do you know which .xml file I'd have to edit? Or rather if it's even possible for it come on with the screen off in a Sense 2.1 rom?
Does anyone know how to keep the light on during calls?
I am so over this phone, the light won't even stay on whilst I'm clicking options on a menu during a call, I have to constantly turn it back on again, and when I've finished a call I turn it back on to end the call and it comes on and off again!
Why can't I turn the light on and off when I want?
I have the screen time-out set to two minutes, but that doesn't work during a call, it's more like 30 seconds.
Are you rooted ?
Which Rom are you on ?
Try....settings-call settings-keep screen awake
Hi Pete ... yes it's rooted, I use Milkys ROM.
I've checked the setting you mentioned but it's not there, apparently it disappeared after 2.2.1.
However, I did Google "keep screen awake", and found an app called "Stay awake", all I need now is someone to call me!
Thanks.
Well im on GingerBread 2.3.4 and the options there for me, but with that being said im on Insanity Rom. But glad you got fixed up.
Does optimus 4x has led notification light?
No, the O4X doesn't have it.
And the app 'LG Notifications' doesn't seem to work for 4X yet. It worked fine on my 2X.
This app flashes the light in the buttons whenever there are new e-mail, SMS, missed calls and so on.
Great app, and hopefully they will get it working on the 4X soon.
didn't found anything about front-button-led notifications in settings..
all i found, is to turn on/off light on buttons, and timeout for them.
I am very sad, because the best device in the world (4X HD) does not have the LED, please we want a solution for that.
Good Software AND Hardware AND IPS WOW.
I think we(somebody) can use(make a rom) to bring the front button for led notification.
the button's have led's, then there must be a way to use them for notifications
Unfortunately no program of the market, active touch LED notification!
Install the app NoLed, it is very useful and works on 4X perfectly. Different kind of customization to suit your lifestyle, e.g. icon, color of led, time to turn on/off led. It saves you trouble to press the Power button to check whether there is email, SMS, missed call,..............in. case you miss the sound notifications.
There are also other features to save battery - notification timeout, dismiss with proximity sensor (dismiss notifications when phone is in pocket or upside down), etc.
Yep, nice app !
I installed this, but I don't get it! Surely you have to wake your screen up to see what you've missed? How is that different from what the lock screen shows you?
(Those apps that light the soft-keys look great, if you could individually light them, one for calls, one for messages, one for emails (Not sure if the phone could even light them one by one)

It works on my 4X perfectly, I even tried to add the Time yesterday and it pops up with the notification. No need to wake your screen up, that's the idea of NoLed! Look up the setting to see what you missed.
BTW, you can let the Time light up constantly but surely it will drain out your battery very fast.
