[Q] Notification LED only stays on for 5 minutes?

This thread was posted in the Themes/Apps subforum but since no one has really looked at it I'm posing the question here for confirmation.

Is it true that the notification LED only flashes for 5 minutes? If so, is there anyway to fix that?

This does appear to be true.. I've been wondering about this too.

One would think the fix could be as easy as a "registry hack" of some kind, but I've seen no quick/dirty solution which simply changes the timeout value.

This also strikes me as FAQ material. On my previous G1, the LED blinked forever (which I prefer, subject to seeing the impact on battery life... just wish it was configurable)

EDIT: I tried the "Blink" app.. it force closes part way thru.

Yup, only 5 minutes. Ridiculous.

Is this a bug?

It has to be. There's absolutely no logical reason anyone could have designed the phone to be this way.

Absolutely ridiculous.

This 'm spoiled by the N1 trackball features! I tried Light Flow Lite but it wouldn't work...

I have the same crappy 5 minute LED notification issue on my unbranded asian Sensation. My brother just bought a Bell Canada model and his light flashes continuously so maybe there is hope that this will be fixed in a future update. If they don't fix it, I'll be pissed.
