Just noticed - No notification LED?

---

I just realized that this phone doesn't do anything visual when you have notifications, although when my battery got full the screen turned on briefly and made a noise. When I unlocked the phone I saw the "Your battery is fully charged. Unplug it now." prompt.

Does the screen normally turn on briefly for all notifications, or was this an exception? Is there some other visual notification indicator?

I'm only asking because this just seems alien to me, to have a phone that does not blink. Truth be told, I hated it when my G1 would blink various colors at me.

I will kinda miss this but at the same time it won't nag me like my girlfriend.

I know a few people have mentioned they are working on trying to use the soft key back lights for notification but not sure if anything will happen anytime soon. You can use sms popup that turns the screen on.

It is a little unusual, but change can be a good thing. The softkey light mod could be a good first step in the modding of the Galaxy S. I know it has me wanting to try it and get into coding/modding.

Plus, having to turn your screen on to see if you have notifications lets you enjoy that beautiful, vibrant (pun definitely intended) screen!

I think the easiest and pretty efficient way to go about it is like this...


The Super AMOLED wastes 0 energy when displaying blacks...then have a few blinking red pixels light up when there is a notification...



This should theoretically waste around the same energy as a real blinking notification light...

i need that on my phone asap lol

Wow! Super idea

Just make sure the icons are a little better looking, though

That was just to show off the idea in concept (I used the default photoshop symbols)..Icons can probably be improved but for highest battery saving probably best to stick to 1 color with the minimum pixel use as possible..

Sounds like an awesome idea, would LOVE to see something like this. I just picked one up, but will probably on the fence for the next 14 days haha. This is definitely a step towards me keeping it

Just realized there is also no music widget. Lame. Anyone know if Eliot Stocker's will work?
