Hi guys!
Sometimes on my Jam the yellow led is always on...
I'm sure to not have message to read or active appointments...
The only workaround is to do a softreset! :-(
FOr example:
yesterday the led was green... an appointment reminder appens with sound notification (dinner from 20 to 23).
The PDA was turned off but the notification ring sound and the led became yellow. The display was still off.
I turn the pda on and I see the bell symbol on the bottom right corner.... I tap on it and I see the reminder for my appointment.
After that the led don't becomes green!
I tryed to show the appointment in the calender ecc... but the led was stilll yellow.
I'm not expert and I thinked that the led will be green after the 23pm when my appointment will be ended...
This morning the led was still f..... yellow!!!
I made soft reset and now it's ok but I don't understand why!
How does the reminder notifications works?
Are you using phonealarm or alarmtoday?
I've noticed sometimes the only way to cancel the yellow led is to load the sms/email app (ie check your messages), regardless of what caused the yellow led, and whether or not you have a new message.
Anyone concur?

I installed PohoneAlarm but i removed it and now I'm usign PPCProfilePro...
I've noticed the led anomalies and the only cure I've come up with is to soft reset.
whenever the yellow gets stuck i go to settings->sounds & notifications
then click on notification tabs then sounds tab then notification tab again..
that should bring back the green led

I remember that! :lol: 8)
The bug must be from windows mobile. If you, when getting a notification popup, tap a button and hold it until the LED did blink once again and then release the button, the bug shouldn't appear. The solution I use is to restrict the blinking to a certein time period, I think you can set it to 90 minutes or something. I use PocketZenPhone to set this. Therefore, whenever this bug appears, it's gone after 90 minutes.

I`ve set the "flash light for" to no limit in the sounds and notifacations menu for "inbox: new SMS message" but the led still only flashes red for set period of time and the goes back to green. I`ve not heard of this bug before, is it just me, is it just my xda, or am I just an idiot, you decied

Hi Dave!
Same problem here, under sound & notifications tick box for flash light for (No Limit) and then you received a sms and red light comes on for a short time and then goes back to green! So I can confirm you are not an idiot! :wink: Hopefully some one will come up with a patch :lol:

Isn't the flashing green light supposed to flash amber if there's a missed call or unread text message? I know this used to be the case when I had the Vario 1 (Wizard), so wondering whether my Vario 2 (hermes) isn't working properly.
or maybe you just dont have it set to do that?
silly me... I had this set on my old phone for so long I forgot that it's not a default setting. Sorted out now. Thanks.
May I ask what software did you use for this?
You don't need software, just go to start, settings, sounds & notification, choose the notifications tab, and then from the drop down list, select the event you want to have a flashing amber light for (e.g. Phone: Missed Call), tick the box 'Flash light for' and choose the length of time.
Mine flashes amber all the time. I do have those settings enabled, but it never has flashed green, although it glows greenwhen fully charged. Ideas?

Never mind. Rebooted, all is well....d'oh!
Please excuse my noob question. I tried to search but didn't find an answer.
My Cingular 8525 with the latest official WM5 ROM has started acting up. It seems to think there is a notification present. It blinks the LED in yellow and sporadically makes the sound currently programmed for new voicemails. If I afterwards I get a valid notification (e.g. missed call), and I clear that notification, then the LED blinks green and the phone behaves normally.
If I soft-reset the phone, a few seconds after the green Windows Mobile screen displays, the phone vibrates and plays the sound. It keeps playing the sound and vibrating every few seconds for a while, blinking the yellow LED (the phone is fully charged). I don't see any other notifications on the screen. After a while it sometimes stops playing the sound, but the LED keeps blinking yellow. The playing of the sound occurs at longer intervals if you just let the phone sit. Only if another valid notification occurs and is then cleared does the blinking LED turn green.
I haven't installed any new software recently. It just started doing it on its own. I can't pinpoint any event that started this. It seems to be activated early during the boot process, before the normal WM5 Today screen comes up.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

Thanks!
I couldn't find how to delete notifications with the trial version of SKtools, probably because it only shows 6 entries of things it finds wrong in demo mode, but I was able to use MemMaid. Seems like a good program so I may buy it.
There were a few duplicates, but the problem persists after removing them. Same symptoms as before.
I hope the official WM6 comes out soon. I don't want to hard reset my phone until then.
What I don't understand is that getting some notification (e.g. a missed call) will result in the phone going back to normal. Also, the sound/vibration that it makes stops after a few minutes, only the blinking yellow LED remains until clearing another notification makes things go back to normal.
on my old phones the light would link when i had a text, voicemail, or missed call. this damn phone blinks like 5 times... is there an easy fix?
Missed Reminder
http://www.appbrain.com/app/missed-reminder/ru.orangesoftware.areminder
My settings
Turn the screen on - Unchecked
Popup - Unchecked
Vibrate - Unchecked
Ringtone - Silent
Blink Led - Unchecked
Notification intervals - 1s
Number of repeats - Forever
This helps keep the LED blinking on DK28. This even works when I have the Blue LED set within Go SMS.

I can't get it to work. Do you need Froyo for the LED blinking config?
I have successfully used it on DI18. Try setting Blink Led enabled, Led blink interval 500 ms.
missed reminder works great. thak you so much i tried it before but it didnt work.
It works for me but I can't get it to blink blue :-(
Blue only works on froyo... the blinking control works on di18 but not led color changes and we only have blue and red on froyo

Hello at all,
How does the LED notofication work on your device?
I use K9-Mail. there I have the option to set LED notification on. But nothing happens.
It should work for SMS (handcent) and K-9 (E-Mail)...
Is there a way to fix this?
hm, seems that it blinks 2, 3 times and thats it... what is the benefit of the light which blinks 0,8 seconds?!
next funny thing:
device is in standby, mail delivers, it rings, vibrates and the LED blinks 2 times. Then I reactivate the phone and the LED blinks one more time...
Is it such a big problem to get such basic function works. We have now Android Version 2.2 on the phone. so they had enogh time to develop this... or is this a problem ob Motorola...?
Mhh I never saw it being a problem. Whenever theres a mail, message, missed call it blinks green to a set timing. On WhatsApp, you have the possibility to set it to any colour you want. That only works if you have your phone rooted.. so that way, my phone now blinks purple for a WhatsApp message.
By the way... sometimes when u have a message and you turn the display off/lock it without reading it, then theres one longer led blink but then goes back to the normal pattern, I guess just to remind you before you put the phone away that there is actually an event that u missed. Theres a program called "Blink" on the AppsMarket where you can customize a colour for every event... if thats something you are looking for ?
