How do i turn of the notification LED?

**wormeyman** · 04-20-2011, 01:34 PM

I don't ever use the notification LED and sometimes it wakes my wife up at night which is not a good thing. Is there an app that i can run or a setting to turn off all led notifications?

I'm on the 2.3.3 leak version 4.5.573

The other option is to get a nexus S but i have 14 months left in my verizon contract

Well........... if that's the only reason you want to turn them off. Wouldn't it be easier to turn your phone over?

I turn my phone over (simple solutions usually are the best) but sometimes i forget and i was wondering if this is possible?

You must have a bright LED to wake someone up with it. First Ive heard of that. And hopefully you find another solution before you give up the phone. Try turning off any status bar notifications.

There are several apps...1 that I use, Light Flow allows you to designate notification for many different apps (SMS, Email, etc), the color of the LED you want to use, the duration it flashes, the speed of the flash, etc.
It seems to work great. There is a free version & paid version in App Market.

You could setup a profile with Tasker to turn off the LED notifications in each of your apps automatically at a certain time & then back on in the morning.

I tried light flow and it looks like i can turn off LED notifications from 6pm to 6am which is probably what i want i'll try the free version for a while and then buy the paid version to support the dev.

I have a little basket, just bigger than the X, with a (clean, dry) folded washcloth in it. At night, I put the X face down, into the basket at night, plug it in to the charger, and cover it with the other side of the washcloth. It has its own little "bed" I'm ashamed to say. But, it's part of the family! Works great.

WhoIsIt is a market app which allows you to set up profiles and takes over the notification system for text/email. my sound and LED notifications go off for the night when i put the phone in my bedside dock (Tasker works with WhoIsIt to change the profile when the dock is detected), UNLESS i get a call from one of a few specific numbers/people. worth a look.

Lightflow, noled still allow blinks with everything off. Tasker is just too complicated. I don't want to root just for this. My old palm pre had the issue till someone wrote a simple patch that killed the led always. I don't need notifications cause my phone is glued to my hand lol. I want all my led notifications off, so I can echo this sentiment. And flipping or covering a $600 USD gadgdet seems rather silly, esp. If you use a dock, lol
