Red blinking light won't go away after ROM update

[Jargon]

After updating the XDA II ROM to 1.60.00WWE, I noticed a problem not present in the old ROM. Sometimes, the red blinking notification light (on the upper right corner) won't go away even after I have already dismissed the message or reminder that triggered the notification. This usually happens when the XDA II displays a reminder while it is locked (password-protected). This also usually happens when I quickly dismiss an SMS notification. Does anyone know what is causing this problem? Is there any work-around (other than disabling the notification light)?

I had noticed this - annoying isn't it? I have not found a workaround yet, and I am working on finding out the exact sequence of events...

I think that what happens is that the XDA triggers notifications in this order:

display
vibrate
sound
flash

If you dismiss the notification before the flash is started - possible because you have a long .wav as sound, the 'turn off' notification is submitted before the flash is activated. This, obviously, causes the flash to occur with no easy mean to turn it off.

We need a desktop plug-in that can turn the flash off as needed.

Sending an SMS and dismissing the sent notification bubble turns off the flash for me.

Hi,

One workaround that I have found is to go the Start -> Settings -> Sound & Notifications -> Notifications. Then close the screen and this would dismiss the blinking notification light.

That's also what I do. But I hope we can have a real bug fix soon.
