After clearing the notifications on the events page, the notification lights stay flashing if I turn off the display without returning to the home screen. the lights turn off after I turn on the display again

UPDATE by typo:

At the very least in these cases the blinking seems to (usually) continue even after the reason for the notification blinking has been cleared e.g. read a received SMS:

  • Miss a phonecall, later get a phonecall from the same person and answer it -> missed call blinking continues when display is turned off after call
  • Receive an SMS/email and tap the notification on top of the screen to read it -> new SMS/email blinking continues when display is turned off
  • Sometimes this also happens even if I go through the normal routine of doubletap to wake up the device, enter lock code, swipe to home screen, tap Messaging app, read SMS, close Messaging app, lock screen -> new SMS blinking continues. This doesn't always happen but on a gut feeling I'd say maybe 10% of the time it does.

I've seen this happen repeatedly since I upgraded to 1.0.4.20. Especially with SMS and tapping on the notification to read it. If I lock the screen after I've read it, still being in the messaging app (read or list view doesn't matter), the blue led keeps blinking. I haven't verified it but it seems repeatable every time.

For me, it's only for SMS, doesn't happen for other notifications

happens for other notifications as well. for me it occurs with e-mail notifications that are read on other devices etc.

This issue seems to be fixed on the latest (1.0.5.19) - maybe related to change in how the notifications are cleared

Still have this problem with emails in the following scenario:

  • phone is locked, emails arrive, phone fetches them, notifies via led
  • emails are read via other device
  • phone is in next "check emails" interval, clears notification area
  • LED keeps on blinking, when unlocking the phone there is no notification

Ok, I've seen this. The LED goes away after checking the notification. I wonder if Apps can send signals to notification area to stop the blinking?

The LED keeps on blinking if you received (and read) an email during a call.

more info about that topic:

currently the apps don't stop their led notifications, that's the problem.
