This is my first phone with a notification LED, and I love it, but I don't see why it has to turn off after 5 minutes. I read that it was the same way on the original HTC one also. Did anyone ever find a way to disable it on the original, or will it ever be possible on the m8?

Morning,
Is anyone else finding their Notification LED for text messages (Possibly E-Mail's too) is flashing for 2-3 Minutes then stopping? Missed several texts now because of this and its annoying me that I have to keep unlocking my phone to check for texts.
Is there an option I have missed? Do I have a dodgy Phone? or is that just the way it is?
KYI
I think mine does this too, that's why I was asking for a Wake on Notification app. Can we change LED from green or orange via software?

'Missed call' for the Market lets you (IIRC) change LED colour Whether is is fully operational on Desire, I'm not sure. Don't think you need root access either.
It's only flashes for about 2-3 mins then goes off - if you've not noticed by then I assume it thinks it'll save power...
makes sense to me to be honest. for example if u miss a text on the iphone, it will only chime once more. i wouldnt want mine staying on.
I Suppose I just miss it for the G1 days. My Phone is on silent all day at work and the continious LED was a bonus for notifications. Surely an single LED doesn't draw that much power? Might have to give Missed call a try again.
nah the desire seems to use different code to light up the notification LED so none of the LED apps on the market work anymore. like LEDtester, the LED just flashes green and cant be changed. and handcent, it just flashes green and cant be changed.

have it on vibrate instead - or just check the screen every now and then...
I did post about this earlier but got zero replies so I wondered if it was only me.
Mine blinks for I think it's exactly 5mins. That's it. And I don't think it has anything to do with saving battery since that one blinkiing LED (mostly blinking when then screen is off) does not take much power at all.
I've emailed HTC to see what they say.
Although not ideal, handcent does allow you to set notification reminders.
I have mine set to re-vibrate 15 mins after receiving a text if I haven't checked it. You can change all the options, so have it chime, vibrate, wake scree, flash LED, all of above, one of above etc. at different intervals and a number of times - I find once vibrating only to be a sufficient reminder if it's in my pocket, however if on a desk would probably have the screen re-awaken.
Might help.

Just a quick question, is there any way to get the softkeys to light up as a notification alert? sometimes the LED flashing is not enough to catch my eye. Not something to stay lit, but maybe flash a few times.
Do you only look at the bottom of your phone?
I don't think that it's possible, just because of the fact that I don't even think devs have found a way to just get them to turn on when they want.
Sorry if this is a noob question but I have only just noticed this and I have had HTC phones for quite a few years and none of them did this.
Also this is my second HOX as my first one had dead pixels and that one did not do this.
Every time I receive a text message the screen lights up and it goes onto the lock screen, is this normal and can it be turned off.
I am on a stock phone, not rooted and latest update 1.28 and no other settings change.
Thanks
Rob
When I get a text it makes a noise and the LED flashes but the screen does not come on.

No sorry its an absolutely stock Rom.
Guess I'm just lucky
Glad I'm not going senile though.

Actually I want my screen to light on when I receive a text message. Is there a way to turn that on on stock rom 1.28?
Mine seems to turn on the screen, AND the music bugs - it plays through the speaker on the phone for a second... Someone said you can turn this feature off? How?
(I'm using the Revolution HD 4.0 ROM)

I think I found it
Mine lights up as well and i use the Productivity LockScreen.When i receive a message the phone lights up,the LED flashes green and the text is displayed on my lockscreen.
My screen turn on with incoming messages too. Using stock messenger app. I think handcent and go SMS allows for the screen to stay off
As I always keep the phone on silent mode therefore my one x only vibrates and the led blinks

Is there a workaround on the 5 minute LED timeout for notifications? I am moving over from my S5 in all likelihood since I am on my 4th defective S5 now. I had a problem with the LED not triggering on the HTC One in July, but I am thinking about going back. HTC says it's designed to work like that, but using stock and without rooting or s-off, can you work on the colors for the LED and their timing? I am used to a notification LED on my S5 and that's important. I might as well go with an iPhone if I didn't have a LED!
I have a problem that sometimes my Htc One M8 will just "crash" in my pocket. When I take it out it just has a black screen and wont turn on the screen. I can use swipe to wake and get the haptic feedback but screen won't turn on. This mostly happens when it is connected to my cars bluetooth. I notice it when I try to change song and it wont change it. The music playback works tho even if the screen wont go on.
Happens both on Sense and Gpe. Changing kernels wont help. Same with stock and elementalx. Also had this on my two M8 phones and my friend with M8 told me about a similar problem.
Also sometimes when I get a call, I can see the answer and decline buttons, but cant pull them up or see who is calling. It will just ring until it stops and then starts responding.
Has anyone had anything similar? Any fix for it?
Thanks in advance! :good:
