LED on SMS stops blinking after 5 min

[quickstang]

I ended up changing the reg from 5 to 0. 0 is no limit. So
If you dont want it to blink, 1 might be off. Not sure.

What do we edit to make that happen...?

I use PHM Regedit, and I went to the following...

HKCU\Control Panel\Notifications

If you scroll down, you should see something that looks like A877D65B.....

You'll see the name "Duration" it should probably say 5 and that means 5min

I hit the edit button, and changed it to 0. 0 means NO LIMIT. This is what I use because if I set my phone down and walk away for 20min or 2hrs, if I look at it and it is blinking, I know I have a message. When I select it, the LED disappears, and I go about my business. Wont blink again till something comes through

under start>settings>sounds and notifications, switch to the notifications tab and switch to the sms settings, there you have the option to change the length of time the light blinks.

That option is voided on mine and can't be changed in the drop-down menu, others are having this problem as well...

anybody know the value to shut off the blinking entirely?

In that same registry string if you change the AvailableOptions key to 15, the check box for the duration will become active.
