Notification LED

I tested the app "Blink", as I had heard this worked with my friends HTC phone. Blink does not appear to work with the TB. It does flash the LED, but does not seem to control the color.
 
Update. I MAY have this solved. I use Easy Reminder for missed calls. That alone works for keeping the LED flashing for those.

For SMS/MMS I DISabled Easy Reminder.

In Handcent I have my Notifications settings as: Vibrate: Always; Vibrate pattern: Normal; Blink LED checked; Enable Remiders Checked; Number of Reminders, 'Keep Repeating; Reminder Interval, 15. This last setting I think is the key. I had it at 5 thinking it needed to be the same as the stock LED flash limit.

Before the changes above I would get a vibrate reminder and inconsistent LED flash after 5 min. It's entirely possible that Handcent also updated their app's handling on the TBolt since last Thursday as they have had at least 2 revisisions. Good luck and please let me know if this works for you all.
 
Update 2:
Well now I'm stumped. For some reason Handcent is staying active the entire time a reminder is firing!

If it flashes for 60 min I'll see 60 minutes of run time in the battery use applet. Are others seeing this? :-(

Mike
