Notification LEDs turn off after 5 minutes...

[LandLockedPH]

Does anyone have an answer to the issue of the notifications LEDs only remaining on for five minutes? Is there anyway to have them stay on until the phone is turned on? The five minute time limit isn't useful if you don't look at your phone within that time.

hi and welcome.
erm.. no.. sorry.. it's the way it works :-( nice one HTC :-\
I've been on to them a few times about sorting it but they don't understand :-D

That has been like that since the original One X. Try lite flow. It may fit your need better.

i think you will need root to get any better led action

Most people check their phones periodically anyway, so a constant flashing LED light is a moot point.

There are also other options for notifications, such as NoLED which provide low power on screen notification.

true yes i use knock 2 which works well... but for me having good control of led notifications is very useful... so can tell say whether led is for calendar... or missed call

To extend the 5 min led limit download Recurrent Notifications Manager from Play. No root needed.

My phone stays in my locker at work, I glance in every now and then to see if there is a blink, no blink, no need to check on my maxx. Same if the phone is laying around the house. I just upgraded to the M8 today, would have liked a constant blink.

agree - for me the led remaining on is very important as cuts down the frequency that i have to actually turn it on to check for notifications - also i use calendar reminders A LOT! so very important to be able to tell the difference between these and texts/calls etc
....for me root and Lightflow is the best

unfortunately it seems that only 1 notification related app can work fully at one time when it comes to leds :/
