The wimax led can display turquoise which would appear blueish depending on the surrounding light.

What gypsy magic do you know because the Evo can't get blue...I've never gotten it for reminders or anything.

its the led light on the right side, when i got gingerbread it started doing it.

Trackpad notifications ?

Is there a simple download or app to get my trackpad to light up when I get a text/email/voicemail like it does on the Nexus One ?
I dont know how to do these hacks and mods that you geniuses do.
Also be very interested in this.
LED me know is the answer you are looking for

I got the app and it definitely works.
Its great, get it !
Thanks guys !
Yeah I use Led Me Know too. You can choose if you want the trackpad to blink, or the LED at the top of the phone.
Add [SOLVED] to your thread title please.

I got my Z a couple of weeks ago and my phone seems to do this straight out of the box??
eg - I get a txt and the trackpad light blinks. If I have a missed call the the LED at the top of the phone flashes.
Although, I was going to ask the question to see if I can get the LED to blink when I receive a txt because sometimes you cant always see the track pad flashing depending how the light is hitting the phone (if its laying flat for example).
I will also try the suggested app
Yea.. my G2's trackpad ring just slowly pulses if there's a new notification.
I believe the app causes the led to blink more frequently.

I tried led me know but it didn't do anything, on my rooted phone , any suggestions?
When I test the app, it makes the green led blink, but when the actual whatsapp message or an sms arrives, no blinky light

I know this is a silly question but do you have it enabled?

Yeah I actually though the stock trackpad notification on my phone (DZ) didn't work. But I found it was actually blinking every 10 secs or slow - which is too slow for me to have a quick glance at the phone to see if I've got messages.
Also, I have my phone in a vertical pouch, with the power button at the opening. So with Led Me Know and the LED notification set, I only have to pull the very top bit of the phone out of the pouch to check the LED.

Indeed, make sure it's on. Also, there's a "test" option within the app to let you see what it's going to do when it gets a notification.
If it's still not working, try removing the app and reinstalling it again.

On the OG epic, if you set the notification colors in most apps to GREEN it would light up PURPLE (RED+BLUE). I haven't tried it yet on my Epic Touch but just thought I'd throw it out there. And none of the flashing modes would work on that phone either...

OK, just confirmed led colors in handcent. They're the same as the OG Epic, only two LEDs RED and BLUE. For notifications:
GREEN = purple (or magenta) for the notification LED
BLUE = blue
RED= red
Has anyone figured out magenta on the app Lightflow? I tried green but nothing.

Yup, I jumped ship from tmobile. I sold my Sensation and got it. This phone rocks... But Sprints 3g is junk.
The blue and red lights work once set but dont blink. I guess this isnt as perfect as I thought.

Yeah...data speed bites. Here's hoping something happens with that soon!
I got it to blink red only, and red solid, and blue solid using go sms. I did "custom" color sliders to white for blinking red. Works even when plugged in.

Did the new update bring different color LED notifications?

I never noticed this until the lastest update, but the LED changes different colors for different notifications. Voice mail gets a green , Facebook gets a blue,etc..I remember my phone use to light up a rainbow color.. anyone noticed these changes?

May be someone that can clarify your answer... all I know is that I use Light Flow to change the color of the notifications.

Which update? Carrier or XDA?

The blue notification comes from the 1.9 update of the Facebook app. I don't use Voicemail, so I can't comment on that. SMS notifications are white (whitish) by default, can't change that without 3rd party hacks.
I configured Whatsapp though, to give green notification light, but you could change that to anything else in the app settings.
If you want more options for other apps, use an app like lightflow, although personally I don't like it, never worked reliable for me.

The led has always been different colors, depending on your apps. Nothing new.

I have Android 4.0.1, yakjuux, Galaxy Nexus from Fido.
So far, my LED light has never lit up when I get a Whatsapp message. There's an option for light color in the Whatsapp settings menu, but it doesn't seem to work. I don't feel I need to download third party apps (light flow) in order to make the built-in LED of the phone to work. Shouldn't the notification LED work out of the box, without any tinkering?
Anyone else have this issue?
Seems normal. Have u rooted? CM9 nighties now has great support for led color notifications
My led was never lighting up for some reason until I started using Light Flow. I can't understand why would they give us a nice multi-color led and not use it nicely. And my god have I missed the charging orange led and charged green from htc.
I'm also using Light Flow and it works great, otherwise not so much with stock but the LED has always been a tri colored led.

Normal for the LED not to work, even thought Whatsapp has an setting for it? That seems ridiculous.
My phone is not rooted, and I don't think I'd have to in order to make this LED to work. Why even put one on the phone if it doesn't work???

So far, I haven't noticed any different colours on my GN. It would be great if it comes through the official update. Else CM9 shouldn't be far away anyways

Light Flow and Go SMS

Anyone get Light Flow and Go SMS working together? I can't get the notification LED to work whether it's using GO SMS's built in "blinking LED" function or using Light Flow.
When attempting to use light flow, I turn off the "blinking LED" option in Go SMS. I've also tried using the alternate monitoring options.
Still not working.
EDIT: Well, I ended up uninstalling Light Flow. Notification light works again. I just can't customize the LED color. Guess I'll have to wait until Light Flow gets updated to work with the S III.
Also, even though Go SMS "blink LED" works, the color settings are messed up. The color you pick doesn't correlate to what shows up. Must be an app issue as well. But hey, at least it works.

Does the LED actually blink for you albeit with effed up colours? Cause it doesn't blink for me, just stays one solid messed up colour.
It stays solid just like you said.

Then it goes the exact opposite of mine. Mine blinks for text notifications, and stays solid for others.

Both my and my dad's sgh-i747 displays the wrong led colour.
Blue comes out as red, green as magenta, etc.
I'm starting to think its a problem with all north American versions of the.phone? My friends with the i9300 don't have this problem!

Yeah the hex codes are all messed up in the NA version, so regardless of what program you are setting the colors with they're almost opposite. Yellow = White from my experience if anyone wants white haha
I'm so glad this got brought up, but it's a shame nobody's found a fix yet. It's such a subtle, yet mindblowingly irritating thing. Mine is sold red, no matter what I change in both the system LED settings, or the GoSMS settings. I haven't bothered with LightFlo, since everyone reported the mis-representation of color changes in the settings.

If your on a twiz rom the colors are gonna be all messed up. For example if you use light flow to change the color of the led you'll notice that the color you set it to be is not the color it is. This is an os problem. If you flash a stock android based rom like cm9 cm10 or aokp they will be fixed.

Now this is some handy info. Does this apply to someone having CM9 or 10 AND GoSMS as well?

LED Notification light in top speaker grill?

Why is my LED Notification light in the top speaker grill?
Is this normal?
It's normal because that's where htc put it.
That's the design.
And it only shows two colors.
Amber while charging and green for all notifications
HTC UltimEight ?
It's the one thing I miss from my Nexus 5, loved having the RGB LED and using LightFlow to customise it. Hoping HTC sort this out in future...

Well technically you can use the amber LED for other notifications in apps that support custom LED colours. Just select the "red" option. Works for me on Whatsapp

Yup, it's rooted. But root access shouldn't affect such a thing, I didn't receive any root access requests when setting LED colour. What app did you try it on?

Has anybody found a way to override the 5 min limitation without using a 3rd party app? I can override it with an app called recurrent notifications manager and it works well, but I'd rather not use an app to do something that should happen anyway. Take note HTC...
I haven't seen a fix yet, they also need to take note to make the notification light flash while charging. Pretty stupid of htc if you ask me.
