Phantom Notification Light

---

Has anyone else has experienced this? Seemingly out of nowhere my green notification LED will start blinking. Thinking I have an email/text/missed call I hit the power button only to find no notifications whatsoever. I check my inboxes to make sure nothing new was in there and find nothing. No alarms, no new texts, no emails, no missed calls, nada. It just continues to blink until I reboot the phone. Its not a huge issue but its happened about 5 times in the past week, just wondering if i'm the only one.

mine doesn't do it to that extent, but sometimes if I have just cleared a notification or something it will blink until I put it to sleep and wake it back up.

Huh. Haven't noticed that problem. For what it's worth I use Google Voice so don't use the MMS app and have removed the Voice Mail.

maybe its a hey play with me light? lol ive experienced it but in about 2hr increments of standby

It happens to me when I check a text through the app (handcent) but I don't go to the notification bar at all, it clears because I open it in handcent but it continues to blink until I pull the notification bar down.

Speaking of the Notification bar, does anyone else have an issue of selecting a notification and it takes you to the correct app, but it doesn't close the notification bar?

yeah, i've had that, where the notification bar will stay down after clicking an app. i just roll it back up and the app i selected is no open in the background, so its all good.



and as far as the notification light goes, i wish there was a way to also tap into that orange/red LED as a notification light. I downloaded an app that can control the blinking light and for various things, and if the phone supports it, multiple colors (dunno what phones have a multicolor LED there...) but seems it can only tap into the green LED. Which sucks, cause i'd love to have missed called and voice mails linked to the red light while everything else linked to the green light. maybe once its rooted and custom roms come out that'll be an option.

I've experienced this with Handcent SMS on the rare occasion. There's a certain combo of viewing messages that seem to cause this.

Since you can view messages 3 ways, reply 2 ways, not sure which combo causes it.

To clear it tho, I've always just opened handcent fully and opened up the last message received. That's worked every time for me.

I made the switch to GO SMS. It's a thing of beauty.

I am a bit of a text addict so I notice this happening frequently. Doesn't really bother me but I dont really understand why it happens some times but not others. It happens with GO SMS and stock messaging app for me.
