Mine seems to do a few different colors. I have blue for Textra, green for emails, yellow for Tapatalk. I cant remember if there's more. As far as how I deal with the notification LED, I look at the phone and if it's pulsing the led I turn it on. It's not the brightest led but it seems to work just fine and I've yet to miss anything due to the brightness level of it.
Thanks... what APP are you using to control this ??
