- Are you 100% sure that you do not have any unread messages?
The messages folder groups messages with the same title into groups (Threads). I have noticed that I get a new message but when I go into the message folder all are read. But if I click U for unread it will go to a message (thread) where there is an unread message.
Sorry if you already knew that - just thought it may help

Anyways, new 9900 is awesome! But the LED is driving me nuts. I just upgraded to 317 to see if it would help and it didn't. Very big letdown. Usually on my older berries (9700, 9780) I would install a new OS and stuck with it and the LED problem was gone. I'm only a few days into my 9900 and the LED is already acting up.
Now I know I'm probably gonna get the same responses I've googled. Maybe I'm hoping someone will tell me its happening to a lot of us. ALL my buddies have the new 9900 and none of them have this issue lol. I've tried everything from shutting every app down to resetting the phone for up to 30 seconds after a battery pull. It works for a while then comes back.
I guess you can call this more of a rant since honestly speaking any recommended solution I've probably tried. Or maybe I'm hoping for someone to be in the same boat as me! Who knows. Oh well, the turbulent life of my Blackberries go on!08-31-11 11:06 PMLike 0 - I know its this dreaded issue again. Maybe its my luck with Blackberries, maybe its just ME lol.

Have you gone through every single type of notification in profiles to check that it's not some obscure thing that is triggering the LED? I have a lot of stuff in there completely turned off - like BBM Alerts (different from BBM New Message), Tasks, Calendar etc. Try going through every single item individually and double check anything you don't need is completely turned off, including the LED option in Visual Alerts. Third party apps can add quite a lot of weird notifications in there.08-31-11 11:45 PMLike 0 -
Btw, the LED works! Just not the way it should work!08-31-11 11:46 PMLike 0 - I believe what you are saying is that your led is lighting up when it shouldn’t be correct?
Mine does the same thing. With my tour once you went into a message say txt the led flash would stop flashing once it was opened. Now I have to go in and then out before it stops. If I leave the application open it just flashes. Is that what is happening to you as well?09-01-11 12:20 AMLike 0 - Well even after my messages are read, the LED will continue to flash for 10 or so minutes. So even if there are new incoming msgs of any sort that activate the flashing, itll stay flashing anyways. Then it'll return to normal and happen again in another hour or so....09-01-11 12:25 AMLike 0

No berrybuzz, no weather app, no social scope, no social feeds. The only 3rd party apps I have are FB, The Hockey News, Wikitude (this was happening prior to install of wikitude), quickpull, and six tools. I have double and triple checked all of them to no avail.
And no Anthony, the LED blinking in service area is Green. The usual msg notification flashes red.09-01-11 04:25 AMLike 0 -

Am I physic and knew what you were going to ask before you posted your question?
B09-01-11 08:48 AMLike 0 - Guys, I tried what JC recommended and to my surprise the flashing went away! Not sure if its pure luck or it really has to do with ALL those different options, but it worked. Wanted to give it a few days before checking in.
But in my opinion, I think its still just a phone issue. Some of you will receive lemons. It just happens (as I have found out with my previous 3 berries. The 9900 is my 5th one in 2 years).
Really hope RIM will start addressing quality very soon. The phone is too awesome to switch just because of small stupid issues09-03-11 11:09 AMLike 0
