The notification light on the Evo Shift only blinks for about 5 minutes before turning off. Worthless to me. There is an app called "Missed Reminder" that will make these notifications last forever until you check them. Unfortunately it does not work with the HTC Mail app, only Gmail.
Does anyone know of an app that will make the notification light continue to blink until the phone is checked that will work with the HTC default mail app? I use hotmail so "Missed Reminder" will not work.
Thank you.

I see a lot of questions about multi-colored LED, but none helpful to me. However, I apologize in advance if I missed it, and this is a repost.
Anyway, I was wondering if there was a "hack" or app that would allow the notification LED to show multiple notifications. Right now, if I have an unread text, it only blinks purple, regardless of whether or not I have a missed call, or Google Voice message as well.
Is there a way to set it up to alternate colors? So it would alternate purple and green if I had an sms and Google Voice message, or alternate green and blue if I had a Google Voice message and missed call?
Any help is very appreciated.
Thank you,

Try blink.

Hey, I was wondering about this myself. I tried Blink, neat little app however, it looks like the Droid X's LED only comes on when the screen is off. It would be cool to have the LED continuously blinking until you address the notification. (unless there is an option to change it?)
I did not know the DX has a full array of colors for the LED until I installed this app, I will use it regardless
handcent allows you to customize ringtone, notification light, vibration pattern, and theme of texts. i HIGHLY recommend using handcent instead of the stock texting app. just make sure to turn off notifications in your stock texting app or else you get two notifications per text.
On my nexus 4 the notification led only seems to activate for SMS messages and glows white.
It does not flash for Emails (I use the Email app not Gmail) or missed calls.
Is this normal or is there a setting somewhere?
Try using the "Light Flow" app to control your LED lights. It works great. You can pick how often the LED blinks and the color it should use.

I get all different colour notifications depending on what app I get a message from without using any 3rd party app.
I've never used the email app unfortunately but seems as though missed calls doesn't trigger the LED. The notifications I know work are:
GMail - Set to white
Whatsapp - Set to green
Facebook - Set to blue/purple can't remember which
SMS - Set to white
I would've thought the Email app would just use the default white notification but maybe it doesn't have a trigger for it?

Before using lightflow, facebook, whatsapp worked for me, nothing else did. not even the notification whilst charging the battery.
After installing lightflow, all sorted except facebook, whatsapp!
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I don't use either of those but did you try adding them to lightflow? I'm pretty sure you need to specifically add non system apps to lightflow.

Generally, I love my new phone but there is one issue I have not been able to solve which is a deal breaker. According to the Nexus support line, and my extensive experimentation, it is impossible to turn off email notification vibrations (non gmail), yet still have vibration notifications for text messages.
I receive hundreds of emails a day and the last thing I need is the phone vibrating all the time. On the other hand, my texts are less frequent and typically need attention!
According the Nexus support rep it is a function of Android 4.2
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
On an unrelated issue, the servers automatically assigned by the phone for both Bellsouth (Yahoo) and Hotmail email did not work. I had to search the web for other viable pop3 and imap options!
Can you use handcent for your texts and enable it that app?

Unfortunately the issue is not with the sms program. The problem is with the native email program. It seems no matter what setting one uses on any email account there will always be vibration notifications. The only way to turn these off is to set the phone to silence (one down volume click after vibration mode). The problem with putting the phone in silence mode is that one cannot get sms vibration notifications.
In my mind this makes ZERO sense!
apparently this has been a known issue for about a month.......

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried Light Flow...even bought the paid edition. Unfortunately, this does not work. I tried all types of combinations between email and text and same issue. Net net...if the sms notification vibrates then the email notification vibrates and visa versa. Looking to disconnect those two!
Is possible to disable the Gmail green led notification but still get the icon in the status bar for new emails?

Have you tried unchecking the "Missed LG Emails" option under Notification LED.
I'm not sure about that but I use light flow and thats how I disable the led for different gmail accounts and still get the icon in status bar.
I have that unchecked and still get the green led flash for new Gmail messages. I have used light flow in the past and liked it. I tried it on this phone and it didnt seem to work properly. I had the led disabled for Gmail in light flow settings but it still flashed. I suppose because notifications were turned on in the Gmail app itself.
The other strange thing with light flow on this phone... In settings, I have notifications in order of whats being used first. Even though I have them both turned off, google now and gmail were at the top, indicating that they were on.

For gmail setting, same thing happened to me but then I digged deeper and I think inside the gmail notification settings in light flow for that specific account there was an "inbox" option I entered and disabled it there. I also have "Missed LG emails" off.
I don't get led notifications when I get texts. It works when I get Facebook notifications or other things like email. But not text. Anyone know how to fix that? Without 3rd party apps

Using Samsung's messaging app my LED notification is blue and pulses every 6 seconds approximately. In Settings > Display I have the LED indicator option to "On". Then inside the messaging app click 'More" in the top right hand corner, then click Settings and make sure Notifications are "On". That's how mine is set up and LED is working fine.
