[Q] How to turn off LED notification for mail on CM7? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running CM7 #37 and cannot figure out how to turn off blinking LED notification for the email app (not gmail). I have an exchange email setup and it always blinks on new notifications, but I want to turn that off. All other LED notifications are already off. Please advise. Thank you.

well if it hasnt changed from the cm7 RC it goes
settings>CM settings>Interface>LED Notifications
from there u will choose whatever is listed under applications...for example mine is Miscellaneous and then if i select that it lists all my apps that have an led notification that can be applied to it...just select email and turn it off

Some LED questions

Hiya All,
I have two questions regarding the Jam led:
1. In normal operation the LED flashes under green color around each 7 seconds. Is there anyway to shorten the interval to around 4 seconds ?
2. When an appointment is secheduled, the notification window pop ups and display the appointment detials. After I'm dismissing the notification window, the LED still flashes with yellow color and only SR can resume the LED to its green light. Is there any way after dismissing the appointment to resume the LED to green light again ?
Thanks in advanced,

hehe i can't even see the difference between these two colors.
flashing blue would be nice
1. There's no way of changing the flashing interval.
2. Check your settings under Sounds & Notifications - Reminders - Flash light for...
Thanks for the interval info...
However, when I'm going into notification settings and removing the flash list for missed calls or new sms messages, after approving the new settings, it's always coming back to default.
Any ideas how to fix this ?
Thanks in advance,
Bright Star
default to what?
Defualt to flash light and notification on the Start line...
Anyway to remove all notifications such as missed calls, incoming sms and voice mail from the Start line ?

Yeh mine seems to sometimes get 'stuck' on flashing the orange light, even if you've dismissed the alert. It does it for some SMS's when on vibrate mode, and some reminders on normal mode.
You can fix SMS's by going into Sounds & Notifications, clicking the 2nd tab then ok. I've found no way to fix it for reminders other than SR.
Annoying!
Noone found why the led can't be flashing any faster?

Changing notifications

Is it possible to change the notifications so that the trackball keeps flashing when there's a new email / missed call / voicemail etc? At the moment it seems to flash when new email arrives and that's it, so if you miss the flash you can't tell there are any notifications unless you check.
actually just found out that when you have notifications the indicator flashes green, otherwise it doesn't flash at all. Unlike other HTC devices (where they nomally flashed green and then flashed orange to indicate notifications), but I guess it'll do
It does say in the user guide that the LED will flash green when there are notifications, but who ever reads that.
It would be nice to be able to select if the trackball should light up, in which interval and for what notifications. The green led will blink on any notification, not just email and missed call.
I came across an app called SMS Popup. It can change the color of the LED for SMS and MMS notifications in addition to the other great options of popping the message up on the screen and giving you reminders of unread messages.

[Q] [PA 3.99] Apps override notification LED settings

Hi,
I'm using Paranoid Android and I've set the notification LED to blink red. It seems that apps can override this setting and set the color they want for their notifications, since Facebook for example blinks in blue... I had Facebook set to blink in blue in the past but I've deleted that setting and unchecked "use custom settings", so it should use the default color now... Is this a bug? However, SMSes blink in the default color...
Please help.

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.

notification light, no notifications

so a couple times now I've had the notification light start blinking red when i've had no notifications. is this telling me there is an error or something? subsequently I've also had it it flash green after getting a text and clearing the notification, it just wouldn't stop unless I opened the stock messaging app which I don't use anymore and have the notifications turned off for.
my main concern is the flashing red, usually have to restart it to get it to go away.

Umm I think it flashes red when the phone is on the charger. Have you looked in Settings/Display/Notification light. Click on the Notification Light and it will open another screen.
Make sure your notification for text isn't set to repeat, for me that setting causes ghost notification, if your on the default out of the box settings cycling the phone a few times, power on off a few times and try that.
yeah I know it's red when charging but this is off the charger. Also I'm rooted and don't use the stock messaging app, I use textra, the notifications on the stock app are all turned off. I do have led colors set for different people when I get texts though, but like I said I had no notifications when it was flashing. Hasn't happened again yet but I'll keep watching.
I found something useful! I was getting these "phantom lights" and it was only doing it for my gmail app which I had set to pink. I found out that it was doing this when I got an email that was not in the primary inbox (i.e. promotions tab) It will not give a notification but it will still blink because you receive an email.
Hope this helps someone

Thanks for posting this! I thought I was going nuts as the damn light was blinking and I could not figure out why. I figured it out just this morning as I was looking through my list of Gmail "folders" that I had received an email in one of them. Once I cleared that the light stopped.

I believe it flashes red when you are at 20% or below in battery life. Was your battery life in that range at the time?

seems to be random colors now and only happens when I'm in my car and get a text. I'm thinking it something to do with textra and my texts coming in through my ford touch system. when I first connected the bluetooth it asked if I wanted messages sent to the system and I said no, but it did it anyways. I'd actually prefer to turn this off but there is no way on the phone I can see.
