Looking for a "NOTIFICATION" app.

**sandman512** · 10-09-2010, 08:24 AM

I'll try and explain this. Lets say, you leave your phone on the table, step outside for a second, how do you know if you received a text/missed call/voice mail? Other then checking the phone. Is there an APP that for example the LED can blink rapidly or some other notification? THANKS!

does this by default

How so, This morning my phone was in standby, screen off and no lights even though I had a TEXT message sent to me over night. I would like to able to have the LED light blink lets say RED every few seconds to NOTIFY of an alert(text/VM etc....)

mine blinks red every time i get a text and keeps blinking til i see it, same with emails and missed calls.

Umm. I have to investigate this.
EDIT: Where is the setting for the LED notification?

just tested and still blinking red after 5 min

yeah, mine does this too. As far as im aware, it does this by default, and i dont even know if theres a way to turn it on/off.

Note that it does it for ANY notification, not just text/call/whatever.

There is an app on the Android Market called Blink which you can choose what color led you want for certain notifications. It works pretty well but my led does work right as well so I don't need it. It should be perfect for what you're looking for

Mine blinks but it does not seem to stay blinking. Say I get an email overnight by morning it has stopped blinking.

I'm pretty sure it's by design that it slows down/appears to stop blinking after a relatively long period of time. So, at the very least, your phone is acting normal.

Mine blinks for about 2 minutes then it stops blinking. I think by default it does not continually blink for long periods of times but will blink for a few minutes.

Which I personally think is dumb. I'd love if they allowed it to keep blinking till you pick up the phone from sleep mode.

I understand what he's saying. Mine does this too. It will blink some of hte time, but not for each and every email or text I get. I'm having a more serious problem of having to wait 'eons' to get notified of new email without having to push it. I've check the settings to every 5 minutes, but so far no luck.

For anyone who is interested, my friend just emailed me this:

Are those of you who aren't receiving LED notifications using a Task Killer? I'm pretty sure that the LED notifications are generated by individual apps. So say you get an email, and the LED starts blinking. It will stop blinking if you kill the email process.

EDIT: So if you have Task Killer set to kill apps every ten minutes, your LED notifications will last a MAX of ten minutes.

Alternatively you can get an audible reminder every 2 min or 5min for example.. by the app Missed call. That is what I use because my case covers the epic's led. But either way, I really wanted audible alerts.
