I recently noticed that the LED light for missed SMS - which formerly blinked for the default five mins - no longer did so.
I've checked the 'Sounds and Notifications' option in 'All Settings' (I'm using Sense 2.5 stock ROM, WM 6.5) and found that the flash LED option for 'new message' was unchecked. I rechecked the box (and changed the duration - didn't know that could be done without a mod), along with 'display message on screen' and 'vibrate'. Now, although the other two options have taken effect the LED still doesn't blink.
I've recently installed a few mods/apps, one to create a registry entry to enable wake-up on new SMS, and Missed Call Reminder for repeating alerts for missed events. I thought they might be interfering with the LED but have removed them both no avail.
Any suggestions?

Hi all,
I know there are some topics on reminders and LEDs that aren't blinking, but I can't find any solution for the problem I have.
I own a HTC TyTN II, with ROM 1.56.405.5 (08/28/07).
When I set in the "Start" - "Settings" - "Sounds and notifications" - "Notifications" for the event "Reminders" the option "Flash light for NO LIMIT".
This does not work like it should be. (Missed calls seem to be OK)
At the time of the reminder, the screen turns on, message is shown AND amber light is blinking. This is all OK.
But when (after 2 minutes) the screen truns off (set in backlight settings), the amber light is turned off too!!! The green LED is blinking again.
When I look at my device (the LED), it seems nothing happened. I can only see that there was a reminder when I turn my screen on.
I searched the internet already, but did not find any solution for it.
- I discovered "Kaiser Notifications", but I don't want anything else to change, no reminders needed, only an amber blinking LED.
- I discovered this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=290719 , that seems to be exactly the same problem as I have. I changed the registry as described, but this does not help on my device.
I hope someone knows how to tweak or solve this??
Thanks in advance!!

Hi all,
I tested this on another device (with same ROM) and it seems to be a bug in Windows...
Does anyone has the same problem?
Sam
Hi all,
new update...
I tested a HTC 3300 (Artemis) with WM6 and this shows me the same problem!
Reminders don't work like it should be!
Strange that no-one else has the same problem...

Problem solved...
Hi,
I found a solution to solve this problem on all devices.
Let's call it the "LedBugFix"
Just copy the CAB to your device, run the CAB en perform a soft-reset.
Now, the amber light should stay active until you "read" the reminder.
Note that in your "sounds & notifications" this checks for reminder should be:
[X] Play sound (can checked or not)
[ ] Repeat (SHOULD BE OFF!) (Can be solved by creating a WAV that plays for x minutes)
[ ] Display message on screen (SHOULD BE OFF!)
[X] Flash light for xxx (your choise)
[X] Vibrate (your choise)
Have fun!

Sam, You have no idea how much I have been looking for a solution to this flashing amber light problem. I have(or should I say, HAD) the Verizon XV6800(WM6). In the Sounds and Notifications for MMS, the option to turn on REPEAT and FLASHING LIGHT is greyed out and will not allow you to turn on these settings. Can you please tell me if your solution will or is designed to fix this particular problem for MMS? Also, is there some reason why "Display message on screen" must be turned OFF. Does this mean that the icon on the Today screen for MMS will NOT SHOW that an MMS has been received???
I'm really sorry that I can't try your solution myself, because I got so sick and tired of dealing with Verizon and UTStarcomm over this issue and the fact that ActiveSync was always turning itself on, that I finally got so worn out I just returned the phone within my "30 Day Worry Free Guarantee". I want this phone very badly, but bugs like this make me wonder what others exist that I had yet to discover. Dealing with these mega-corporations and getting nowhere just made me disgusted and fed up so I returned it.
I may be a glutton for punishment, but I am giving serious consideration to getting this phone again(It will be my THIRD time) so any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Your efforts to resolve this problem are commendable.
Regards,
Mark

Hi Sam
I've been searching for this but couldn't find the right entries. Found it just now. I'll give it a try and hoping it works like you say. Thanks anyway for you efforts.
I did give this a try and while it seems to work, my backlight now is an Max Low when I turn on the phone, Unlocking is then very difficult when driving. Once unlocked the display remains dim and when checking the display brightness sliders, they are in the correct positions that I last left them, just moving one causes the display to go bright again, until the next power on.
I un-installed the cab, reset, and all is normal again....wierd.
Just in the case you can simply fix this weird WM "feature" you can use DontForget application.
DontForget is easy-to-use and highly customizable Windows Mobile application that can repeatedly remind you of unread SMS text messages, unread MMS multimedia messages,
missed calls, unread E-mails and missed calendar events by sound, vibration, notification window or hardware LED.
DontForget also can do much more ...
More you can read in this thread
or directly here.
Hi all,
For some reason, my Diamond does not offer me the option of flashing the LED when a new email comes in (it's greyed out). LED would be really useful as it would save having to check the device - just like a Blackberry - any ideas on how to effect this?
Also, I have configured Email to be my "home page" using TF3D-Config (thanks - great util) - but anyone know how to make the Inbox (ie. list of messages) the default screen, rather than the graphical envelope (which doesn't seem to useful). Again - just like Blackberry.
As you guessed I'm using Direct Push with Exchange more than the phone!
Sorry to be requesting help rather than contributing help - but I've only had it a day since I retired my S620!

The thing you thing is an LED is actually a light sensor.
New message notifications are done using varying types of white light around the center button. If you take a look at the user manual you will find out more.
There was also a detailed post about it once on here, but I can't for the life of me find it!!
Called it an "LED" as I couldn't think of another term! However - despite the user manual, the option for flashing notifications is greyed out, but strangely not for MMS. This is a Vodafone supplied Diamond, so one wonders whether they've turned email notifications off to encourage more spend on MMS etc... Maybe I'm too skeptical about operators...
Try Advance Config by Boinger66... ( its a sticky )
There you can set the time for all notifications including e-mail..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406681
So do you not get any of this??
The buttons below the touch screen and the exterior edge of the
Navigation Control which is an LED ring will light up in the following
situations:
Controls Light Behavior
SEND button Light flashes when there is an incoming call.
END button Light stays solid when there is an incoming call.
Navigation Control The LED ring shows a “breathing” white light when the
battery is being charged.
The LED ring shows a solid white light when the battery is
fully charged.
The LED ring flashes a white light once when the battery
level is low and reaches down to about 10%.
The top and bottom parts of the LED ring flashes a white
light twice when there is a new e-mail, voice mail, or
meeting reminder.
A white light goes around the LED ring counterclockwise
twice starting from the top when there is a missed call or
new SMS or MMS message.
In short - no. The light pulses when charging but that's it - so that light itself works, but certainly not for notifications etc. And I'd already tried to install Boinger66's Advance Config but after what is reported as a successful install - there is nothing - no app - zip - and no app visible in "remove programs". As if it never was installed. And any subsequent reinstallation attempt causes "failed to install". I'm now really puzzled... esp. as Boinger66's thread isn't exactly riddled with a basic "app won't install query".

Dis you first install 'Schaps_AdvancedConfig_v2.0.1.0'? (you have to have this installed before you install Boinger66's Advanced Config)
and then 'Advance Config by Boinger66'...
Thanks - that's certainly fixed the app installation issue, and the light now does flash on notifications. Although it doesn't seem reliable. More investigation required by me, probably lots of resets, and maybe it's fixed. Again - many thanks
My Kaiser has a Shifu3 WM6.5 ROM.
In this ROM, with TouchFlo Today, the reminders pop up with a white window showing the appropriate text.
Either pressing Snooze or Delete, the reminder application closes itself by calling Today screen.
Even if I was working on other application (i.e. Facebook) at the moment of the reminder.
This is a problem, as I want to use a different Today (SP Home Shell). But if SPHomeShell is enabled, the reminder application calls, when closing, anyway TouchFlo today, that is disabled, so the phone stucks with a totally white today.
So i simply ask:
1) does it exist a way (registry?) to set TouchFlo reminder to close itself calling the "default Today" (or, better, by simply closing itself not calling any different application) instead of TouchFlo Today?
2) This reminder tool only shows "Snooze" or "Delete". The problem is that Snooze has a fixed time (I suppose 5'). Standard WM reminder has a snooze menu, that is much more useful. I'd like very much to find the way of using default WM reminder instead of this one....
Thanks

In notification settings I select vibrate for new text message. When new text message comes, my X1 don't vibrate. I check settings and selection for vibrate is absent. This happend pure generig UK rom so any 3th party program can't present this problem. Any ideas?
If the box is absent, it wont vibrate. Needs to be checked in.
I don’t know if this is a bug with my rom (never used vanilla rom) or if its just a missing feature but when my phone is on Vibrate Mode (not silent), then it doesn’t vibrate when I get a SMS/MMS... Only way for me to know I got a msg is through the trackball light or the notification bar. Is my phone messed up or can I add this feature?
I am using kang-o-rama (cyan 506)
Go into Messaging, then settings, and you can enable vibrate on messages there. You can also customize the notification for messages too.
thanks, cant believe i missed that. im so used to haveing all the notification settings in one menu with my older phones
