Need LED Notification to stay on past 5 min.

[dequardo#AC]

Really hope someone can help. I need the LED to flash full-time until I wake the phone up. I only care about SMS/MMS and missed phone calls.

I need it to A) flash past the native 5 min. cut-off and B) work with No-Lock.

I was able to use Handcent's blink reminder and 'Easy Reminder' for sms and phone call LED's respectively on my Droid X and the LED would flash until I turned the phone on-even if it was an hour later.

I've tried many apps with my new Bolt (No LED, Easy Reminder, Missed Calls, Missed Reminder, LED Blink, etc...) and I can get none to flash the LED more than 5 min. Some won't flash at all with No-Lock active. I'd settle for not using No-Lock if I could get a flashing app that works past the 5 min. mark. I would be very grateful to anyone who can help.

Thanks!!

Mike

NoLed puts the icons on your screen until you turn the phone back on whether it is 5 seconds or 5 hours.

It interfered with Handcent's popup. The popup would never turn off. I know I'm trying to not miss events but I want just the LED to flash, not the entire screen lit up. Make sense?

 

[dequardo#AC]

Update: I can get the NoLED icons to appear but the entire screen remains lit. Can't have that. Does anyone have an app that allows the LED to blink for more than 5 min.?

thx

Have you tried SMS Notifier? Not sure about the duration of the LED but it can be set to remind however many times you want at whatever intervals you specify.

BTW you and I are in the same boat regarding the X haha. I remember reading your posts on the Moto forums.

Ah yes. Loving this in comparison

Ok why would you need that? Is so small. my phone is in my pocket so the LED does nothing for me since i have the Shell/Holster from Verizon which i love by the way. I don't see the need for this LED crap.

 

[dequardo#AC]

Fine but I'm the OP and I do. For those with a bit more open mind I've figured out an acceptable solution. PM if you'd like to know.

Anyone have a good solution for this problem? I had an original droid with bugless beast and this LED problem was something I did not anticipate. Kindof sucks that it won't flash longer than a few minutes.

 

[dequardo#AC]

Str0ntium,I can't find an app called 'SMS Notifier' so help there please.

Chr1sny. I've found a way to light the LED for more than 5 min for both missed calls and texts. Unfortunately I can't stop the vibrate from firing every 5 min for texts (Handcent). If you want to know my settings just LMK.

If anyone can get get JUST the LED to flash for more than 5 min. I'm all ears

I too hate that it doesn't flash for more than a couple minutes. No point in it than if it doesn't stay flashing till you wake up the phone..... urrrr

Here is the developer's thread on xda:

[APP] SMS Notifier - xda-developers

Just did a search on appbrain and cannot find sms notifier. It must've been pulled from the market.

 

[nmangiafesto86]

I'm having the same problem, I want it to stay on longer than the short period of time it is on. Did anyone find anything out?

 

[djcyph]

i would like an option keep is flashing too...

Are they that secret that you can't post them here?!

I am glad others are wanting to have the LED blink longer. I though something was wrong that it would only blink a few times then go off.

Thanks but I'm mostly looking for ways to keep the LED notification blinking for emails (work).

i haven't been able to find anything either. I hate to leave my room and come back to turn my phone on just to see if I have any notifications. Id rather just look for the blinking led. I don't see the point of it turning off after a few minutes.

Exactly, makes no sense to have to check the phone all the time since the notification period only lasts a few minutes. What's the point of the LED notification then?

Please share. How do we do this?
