I have another question (for developers), for now there is thes options for pattern behaviour: 0-only show pattern when the device is off 1-show pattern even when the display is on 2-only show pattern when the device is off, including acting dead 3-show pattern even when the display is on, including acting dead 4-only show pattern if the display is off, or if in acting dead 5-always show pattern, even if LED disabled 6-like 0 but automatically disable after display is on (this option is used for most patterns)

I would love to have also simple option: same like 6 but when I open (for example message) or I pick "clear notifications" the pattern disappears... For now if I choose option 1 it keeps blinking even if the message was already opened or notifications was cleared...

I am not sure if the option 1 should work this way, like I am thinking and it is a bug, or it was meant to be this way

6 is also my preferred behavior, with 0 i forget about the active notifications after the screen was on for a short time (to check time for example)

but for now 6 is pretty useless, because it keeps flashing until next reboot

The patterns are configured to suit the program that uses them. Some values can be tuned without making changes to the controlling application logic (like color) - while some changes just make things not work (like changing pattern type from 6 to something else).

Apart from type 6, all patterns must be both started and stopped. For type 6 patterns stopping is optional i.e. application logic can utilize type 6 patterns in "fire and forget" style, but stopping them is perfectly ok too.

However if the application logic does "fire and forget" only controls, editing the pattern type from 6 to something else without changing the app code too -> once activated the pattern stays active forever.

thank you for you answer, ok, i get that it is not a bug, that is ok. But I would still love go have that option, when the LED notification is ON until I clear the notification, or open it (missed call, SMS..), i realize it wil need some coding, i can wait :) thank you for your answer anyway :)

so e-mail, messaging and phone app should stop their pattern, after die notifications were cleared.

for example:

e-mails are synced via imap or exchange
e-mail arrives -> pattern starts, jolla flashes
read email on another device -> mail is marked as read, no new mail is present
jolla still flashes "new mail" until display is active, because the pattern is not stopped by mail app

@nightmare currently it works pretty much as you described, but I think there are improvements for this coming up i.e. reading emails on another device should stop blinking too
