Notification light does not clear correctly

[clock199]

I have just picked up my XDA exec and am just getting used to it. I have an issue with the green/amber notification light.

When I receive a text message the light changes from green (service indicator) to flashing amber...good so far. I then open the text and the light returns to flashing green (still good so far). I reply to the text message and I receive back the "Text Message Sent" notification. This causes the light to flash amber again, but this time I am unable to return it to green. I dismiss the notification and still it is flashing amber.

I can only clear this by going into "sounds & notifications" and exiting out, this seems to clear the light. What am I doing wrong? Does anyone else have this problem? Many thanks for any help with this.

well, you can controll this by going to>>

from Sounds and Notifications menu, click on Notifications below

then from the Event list, select New text message or whatever

and then check or uncheck Flash light or you can even change the period

of time you want the light to flash!

Thanks, but I know that bit. I want it to flash when I get a new test message, but not when I get a "Text Message Sent" notification, as this isn't a text message. This worked correctly on my XDA 2s, it seems to behave differently on the exec, or I have set something up incorrectly.

Any ideas?

Hmmmm, I had this problem on my Jam. Can't remember exactly if/how it was resolved, have you tried changing the settings for "MMS Sent" (which seems to be the closest type of notification)?

Hi, yes checked that and it is set to not flash the light....in fact I only have "Incoming text message" set to flash the light....very confused now?

yeah mine does this as well, when the notification arrives telling me the sms is sent. Ironically it clears if your in the messaging app when the notification arrives, but anywhere else (today screen usually) the orange light keeps flashing, i'll do some further tests but that seems to be the case for me anyhow.

Hi, I have just tested this and I still get the amber light even when in text message application......

Yeah, as you say its not because I was in the messenging tab, its because in the 3ish seconds the notification is on the screen, I hit the left softkey for dismiss rather than waiting for it to time out, either that or it only does it with random txt's :P

I have been playing around with this and if I set the SMS notification to no flashing light then when I get the "Text Message Sent" notification the amber light only flashes for about 1 minute before returning to green. However, if I have the SMS notification set to flash the amber light for any amount of time then the "Text Message Sent" notification causes the amber light to flash for that amount of time also. It seems to mistake the "Text Message Sent" notification for an incoming text message....Very strange.
