Happens on all HTC devices running android.

But why? If it happens on all htc devices running android, why so?
And is there any way to change it?

I was wondering this question too. Is there no way to change this? It seems very pointless to not have any options for when to turn it off/keep it on (5mins, 10mins, etc, never). If anyone knows of an app or setting that could fix this I'd be willing to try it, it's my one, huge complaint about this phone (even my 4 or 5 year old blackberry blinked forever without issues and battery drain). Are there no fixes on previous HTC devices?

all HTC devices is false, it may (don't own a sensation) just be the one series, my HTC desire HD kept blinking until the battery ran out.
not sure why nobody has fixed this but since most of the rom/kernal wizard's are playing with the one-X and have not fixed it i'd say it's not as easy to fix as we'd all hope.
it is of course utterly useless, if i'm playing a game or i'm at work the chance that i check my phone within 5 min of anything happening is slim to none a really mind boggling decision from HTC.
perhaps they just opted for cheaper notification LED's in the one series and this is there way of making sure they don't burn out any time soon.

is it not to do with the phone going into deep sleep?

Easiest solution is just install Missed Reminder from the marketplace. It will keep the LED blinking for as long as you want. Works a treat on my HOX.

hmm odd, i've had my desire HD blinking before i went to bed (couldn't be asked to check it) and it was still blinking in the morning, and there were many occasions where i just ignored it and it kept blinking for hours.
then again my desire HD was S-OFF with ARHD and another kernel within a week of when i got it, perhaps ARHD or the kernel changed that

Missed Reminder is not working on my One X with Stock O2 Rom

Tried "Missed Reminder" but it needd to be turned on each time I soft reser my devic, it doesn't auto start, and secondly it only works for sms and miss calls, there are tons of other important notifications like facebook, email, viber, whatsapp ,......
Tried light flow but it sucks on One X, waiting for working release, I believe this is the best approach
Tried other applications, same as Missed Reminder but it does autostart
So no soloution for One X for now apparently, and still waiting for working Light Flow

I just saw this thread, and recognized the problem I have, too.
Desire that I had before had persistent and bright notification LED, while HOX seems to be failing on it.
The only notification I get is when battery is fully charged (green LED).
There is no charging notification, or missed call notification, or received SMS/email notification.
First, I thought it was the ROM bug (RENOVATE 3), but I see now that it's hit others, too.
:crying:
Reading through the thread I realize there's nothing we could do to fix it?
Or I missed something?

Kinds of to blink or not to blink dilemma here.
Either sides would get some people complaining about it..

LED Notification flash - Not working?

I haven't fully tested this issue yet mainly because I've only had the phone for a few days... I wanted to check if anyone else had this problem.
Under Settings -> Sound & Display -> Notification Flash
I have all the options ticked.
In theory, whenever I have a missed call or a SMS or email etc, I should be able to tell that I need to check my phone be a little blinking light in the top right corner off the screen. I just came back to my phone and this LED wasn't blinking but when I turned on the phone, there was a missed call and a SMS.
Other times, it seemed to work fine.
Anyone else noticed this problem?
it only flashes for 5 mins and then stops. There is no way to change this without additional apps.

Oh... How disappointing. Pretty useless imo. Thanks for the info. I wonder if they will fix it. My previous phone, Touch Diamond, had something similar but it never stopped flashing until you looked at your missed calls.
Now that explains things. I tend to look for the led after I've not used the phone for a while. In my pocket or elsewhere. Quite a few times I've seen no flashing but have a notification in the top left. I thought it was another one of those little 'features' we keep finding.
Yeh i discovered this awhile back and it's annoying as hell, i just use a app called Missed Reminder which can be configured to allowed it to keep flashing indefinitely
I was just going to make a post about this. I thought the LED notification wasn't working at all on my Desire, since I've never seen it, but perhaps it had just stopped before I had the chance to catch it, then

What apps are you referring to? It would be nice to be able to have the LED flash longer.
I'm guessing this is to save battery time, I don't know how much power a small LED uses but it surely can't help with the already abysmal battery life
I first thought the LED was located behind the optical trackpad, because the trackball on my Hero could light up. I think the LED-notification is pretty dumb since it's almost invisible when it lights up. The lighting trackball was much much better
This is a known issue. I thought that did not happen in Android, but I guess I was wrong.
If the phone work in Windows Mobile, there are a registry key to let assign values to the options, so they are usable.
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4846399#post4846399
In Android, I have no clue... maybe my info help in any way.
PMoto
It would be nice to be able to change the flash time from the default 5 minutes, or atleast an option for no time limit.
I know it's to help save battery life, but I'm willing to say that the light flashing will use less battery then the back light coming on everytime I'm away from my phone for more then 5 minutes, from me checking to see if I have new messages, email, or missed phone calls.
Same issue with my recently purchased A40.
No blinking at all despite screen flash notification selected.
Hope someone can help

Couple of oddities...

Couple of things i've noticed....
First, does the notification LED have a mind completely of its own?? I get a voicemail...and the light flashes...then 2 minutes later get another voicemail and nothing.
Got an SMS, nothing showed...got another, nothing showed, just got one now and it starts flashing at me.
Secondly, when i've received an SMS, i've gone into messaging app...and the screen dimmed and came back again quickly, so i clicked on settings and it dimmed completely like an LCD with no backlight, exit settings and it comes back again, go back into settings and it goes etc etc. Lock screen, unlock and it works fine...bit weird.
The most annoying one is definitely the useless notication LED because...if i'm sat at my desk listening to music rather loud and i cant hear a notification because of the quiet speaker, or i'm away when a message arrives...i don't know i've got it because it isn't flashing.
Y U not use the search engine?
There are multiple threads about this 'problem' and the only useful advise is always: https://market.android.com/details?...29uc3VsdGluZy5hbmRyb2lkLmxpZ2h0Zmxvd2xpdGUiXQ..
Y U not read?
I'm not bothered about colours or customising the LED, i'm quite happy with the white flash, i'm also well aware of lightflow and there's reasons why i wont use it.
the problem is the sheer randomness of the standard notification LED randomly deciding to flash or not flash based on...absolutely nothing

I have had several phones with notification LED and this one is the only one that doesn't work correctly. Hopefullly the boneheads in the LED department over at Google can fix this. By the time they do, we will probably be able to choose from several ICS phones.
On a $700 phone, why do you need to download a 3rd party app to make one of the phones features work ?

This $700 phone has more problems than the $500 Galaxy S2 it seems. ICS is good, but hardware problems are starting to outweigh the benefits in my opinion. We need to keep downloading apps to manage these little things like the notification light, battery usage, volume problems (which the apps around still cause friction with ICS) etc.
This is my first Nexus and when I went into Vodaphone the other day the man at the store admired my phone. Then proceeded to tell me Nexus have always had little problems surrounding the hardware and software of the phones, the quality control isn't as good as the Galaxy S range. I'm starting to get that feeling too.
Well considering the galaxy s and s2 had their share of problems and the last two nexus are Samsung phones I find that trivial. I'm not having a lot of the problems people are having and my battery life is great, especially considering 4.65" amoled screen. Maybe apples don't fall far from the tree.

[Q] Screen sometimes not responding

Hi,
am I the only one who's screen sometimes doesn't respond when waking the phone up? When I push the power button another two times it works as it should. I'm on the latest LeeDroid (but it also happened with JDroid).
Anyone else with the same problem?
Thanks!
Just happened to me 10min ago. I tried to wake it and nothing, thought it died. Pressed power a few times and it woke
Hope this can be fixed.
This happened to me also I'm on stock though. Happened a few times tbh
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
this happened to me while playing who games but the screen had been on for a while so i don't know if its hardware or the game's issue
Imaginary Range
Mechinarium
Hm, this is really annoying and I'm not sure whether it's a hardware or software problem since it's always disappearing by switching the screen off and on again...
download a drawing software from the market and make sure every part of your screen takes user touch event.

It's definitely software-related. Since I'm on CM9 (TripNRaVeR) this problem never happened again.
Hey Guys,
Try this for partially non responding htc one x touch screen:
--> Apps
Disable:HTC Weather Provider / HTC weather sync provider / maps / Weather / Weather Widget
Reason: my case: device working ok before upgrades. malfunction was logically software related. Few trial-errors. Solution as indicated.
cheers
This happens if charging through an extension lead. Any other time could just be caused incidental on a software stutter.

i'm having same problem, htc one x in vietnam. So what is the solution? I tried shipped rom, 1.26, 1.28, 1.29 stock rom; and now android revolution 7.0.0, leedroid 6.4.0, insert coin 6.4.5 rom having the problem too
Same problem here (still).. Let's hope the Jellybean update will fix it
There are threads like this already.
It does happen to many users. I had this problem too, but it is gone with 2.17 . This is charger related stuff

Hi,
I'v the same problem, my touch screen not responding sometimes, often when unlock my phone with power button.
+, when i touch my screen rapidly, like if i write a msg, my screen also not responding.
I was in CM, ARHD, Carbon ... now i'm in stock, and same problem again. Also, my notification bar doesn't work, no matter the rom
thanks

Extend the LED notification time

Hi, I don't know if it disturbs someone, but when you've got a notification, the green LED doesn't blink a long time. I want to know if it's possible to extend this blink time ?
I've looked all through my HOX and I can't find any way to change this. It really bugs me also, what's the point of a notification flash that only lasts 5 minutes? Seems like a very obvious omission.
I think there is an app from market that can do this
I'd be very happy about a way to extend the time!
Which App???
There you go, this should fix it for you

Missed Reminder doesn't work on a One X
Well Missed Reminder works perfectly on my One X

Notification LED not working properly

My notification LED is not working right. It gives charging indications fine, but when the phone is asleep it doesn't alert me to emails, texts, missed calls, etc. Doesn't seem to work at all.
Notification Flash is enabled across the board in Display & Gestures, and I don't know where else I would enable it. I don't want to use Light Flow after reading here that it doesn't work. Anyone else have any suggestions?
It's a Virgin Mobie One V in the USA.
Indicator light only works for 5 minutes for missed calls/texts so perhaps that's why you're seeing it as 'not working'?
Yeah that would probably explain it. Any way to change it? 5 minutes doesn't do me much good.
Not a dealbreaker but a bummer if that's just the way it is.
Up till now, there isn't a way yet

Yeah it only works for 5 mins, and it's due to the stock kernel. It's probably to save battery, so yeah..
Please keep all question related threads in the Q&A section. Thank You.

okay... the five min timeout irked me too, but if you have go sms pro there is a workaround... well, at least for texts.
advanced settings ->notification settings ->default notification settings
near the bottom you can enable reminders. when I tested, the reminder triggered the LED as well as vibrate, or tone... and you can choose to have the screen light up again or not.
hope that helps!
