Why does the LED stop blinking?

[sum spicy rice]

When I get a call, email, text message..etc.. my phone will make a noise once.. and then the LED will flash green.

HOWEVER.. if I don't notice it.. it seems after a few minutes the LED stop blinking green. I often leave my phone on my night stand.. step out of the room for awhile.. come back.. look at the phone and the LED is not blinking.. but when I wake up the phone I show a missed call, new email, new text, etc.

Is this how it is supposed to work?? should the green LED keep flashing until I check the phone?

It has a 5 minute time out built into it. This is to help preserve battery power.

Can that time be changed in the settings? I would like mine to go longer than 5 min.

No, it is hard coded into the phone.

I didnt know that 5min rule but its kind of dumb assuming it only give you an extra 5min to notice an alert. There is an app that is called "missed reminder" that might solve you issue.

Are you serious? There's no way to change it? I some times miss txt or calls because of the noise factor around me. It would be nice to have 1, 2, or 3 more reminders after just in case.

I'll google missed reminder and see what that provides.
