Suggestion for new tweaks (Email app)

[bosseye]

Hi all,
For some reason, my Diamond does not offer me the option of flashing the LED when a new email comes in (it's greyed out). LED would be really useful as it would save having to check the device - just like a Blackberry - any ideas on how to effect this?

Also, I have configured Email to be my "home page" using TF3D-Config (thanks - great util) - but anyone know how to make the Inbox (ie. list of messages) the default screen, rather than the graphical envelope (which doesn't seem to useful). Again - just like Blackberry.

As you guessed I'm using Direct Push with Exchange more than the phone!

Sorry to be requesting help rather than contributing help - but I've only had it a day since I retired my S620!

The thing you thing is an LED is actually a light sensor.

New message notifications are done using varying types of white light around the center button. If you take a look at the user manual you will find out more.

There was also a detailed post about it once on here, but I can't for the life of me find it!!

Called it an "LED" as I couldn't think of another term! However - despite the user manual, the option for flashing notifications is greyed out, but strangely not for MMS. This is a Vodafone supplied Diamond, so one wonders whether they've turned email notifications off to encourage more spend on MMS etc... Maybe I'm too skeptical about operators...

Try Advance Config by Boinger66... ( its a sticky )
There you can set the time for all notifications including e-mail..

So do you not get any of this??

The buttons below the touch screen and the exterior edge of the
Navigation Control which is an LED ring will light up in the following
situations:
Controls Light Behavior
SEND button Light flashes when there is an incoming call.
END button Light stays solid when there is an incoming call.
Navigation Control The LED ring shows a “breathing” white light when the
battery is being charged.
The LED ring shows a solid white light when the battery is
fully charged.
The LED ring flashes a white light once when the battery
level is low and reaches down to about 10%.
The top and bottom parts of the LED ring flashes a white
light twice when there is a new e-mail, voice mail, or
meeting reminder.
A white light goes around the LED ring counterclockwise
twice starting from the top when there is a missed call or
new SMS or MMS message.

In short - no. The light pulses when charging but that's it - so that light itself works, but certainly not for notifications etc. And I'd already tried to install Boinger66's Advance Config but after what is reported as a successful install - there is nothing - no app - zip - and no app visible in "remove programs". As if it never was installed. And any subsequent reinstallation attempt causes "failed to install". I'm now really puzzled... esp. as Boinger66's thread isn't exactly riddled with a basic "app won't install query".

Dis you first install 'Schaps_AdvancedConfig_v2.0.1.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070)'? (you have to have this installed before you install Boinger66's Advanced Config)
and then 'Advance Config by Boinger66 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406681)'...

Thanks - that's certainly fixed the app installation issue, and the light now does flash on notifications. Although it doesn't seem reliable. More investigation required by me, probably lots of resets, and maybe it's fixed. Again - many thanks
