Spectrum notification light

[mortb]

I have an LG Spectrum and have nothing but good things to say about it. It's super fast, the display is great, and the camcorder is more than terrific. However, one thing bugs me. When I get notifications, such as email, the notification light does not come on and blink like it does on my Droid X. Is there somewhere in Settings I can go to check on it? I looked at several possible sections, such as Display, but found nothing which might help. Am I missing something, or do I just have a faulty phone where the light is inoperative? If that's the case, I'll live with it since I don't plan to exchange it for something as trivial as an inoperative notification light.

Not sure what is available in the settings. If you cannot find anything, here is an application suggestion that I have been using with a Galaxy Nexus for more control of the LED notification light.

Thanks, Anne, I certainly will give it a try.

Nope, that didn't work either. Gave it the old college try. Like I said, I'm not going to worry about it, it's so trivial. The phone has so many great features, so why worry about a small light? Some people might jump up and down in a rage over something like this. Why? Even if I do take it in for a replacement, who's to say that my next phone will not have the same problem, or worse? I go by the motto, "Be happy with what I have."

Just now read that the Spectrum does not have a notification light. Interesting.

Then you might want to look at the "NO LED" applications in the market. These applications will display a moving dot on your screen along with other options.

Found out that I don't have a bad light. I don't have a notification light

at all. In another discussion it was stated that there are androids out

there which have no notification light, the Spectrum being one of them.

Just bought a Spectrum and the fact that it has no LED Indicator is really bugging me, So much that I will probably end up returning it for an iphone. The spectrum has so much potential but with no LED Indicator it's a complete deal breaker

.

The Samsung Fascinate also doesn't have a LED light.  There were several app created at the time of the release of the Fascinate and other phone without the LED light.  Look for "No LED" in the Android Market to find options for using your screen as a notification.

The noLED app works well for email and message notifications.  You can set it to vibrate or ring when a new email or message arrives.
