Does anyone know if there's a way (hack) to make my LED stay on solid instead of blink? Handcent doesn't seem to have any impact.

I know when my battery is low it's on solid, so it would seem the phone has the ability.

I use lightflow and I have this same issue... I can change the led blink rate to anything and it doesn't seem to matter.... when I had my DroidX lightflow could alter the blink rate, so it would be nice if there is a workaround for our RAZRs.

Light Flow Lite does allow you to alter the the sequence of blinks for the LED. it allows you to change it form super slow to super fast and everything in between, as well as stay solid.

Does it actually work for you? Because it seems it doesn't for the rest of us. I suggest you go into the app and mess with those settings and test it out for yourself if you haven't already.

I can now confirm that light flow does allow the LED to stay on steady. The first time I used it, it didn't do anything. Set everything up, rebooted the phone, and it works! Can change LED colors for everything and keep it steady.

The one problem I see right now... phone has been off charger for 40 minutes. Light Flow shows as using 51% of the battery. I'm going to play with if for a while and see what happens. If this app turns out to be a phone drain, I'd rather deal with a blinking LED than a dead battery. I'll post an update later after I've had a chance to experiment more.

I had a profile set to keep the LED on solid when the battery charged to 100%. I'll turn that off and see if it makes a difference.

The program works just fine, but sucks A LOT of juice from the battery. Can't believe how quickly my battery went down. Had to uninstall. Just not worth it.

Yeah it makes sense that having the LED constantly on after a notification would kill the Razrs battery quick. Cool idea though.

I use this app also. If it's draining the battery it's probably not the LED itself it's probably the app. LEDs are pretty efficient.

It is the app, not the LED. Even when I don't have any notifications the app sucks the battery. Too bad though. Would be nice to have control over the LED.

Noticeably better battery life w/o light flow. The LED settings under ROM control in AOKP settings doesn't seem to change blink rate.

Try rootdim same idea but better

Just curious - how did you get a solid light on your Razr? On my Razr Maxx, I can only get Light Flow to display a blinking LED. Even if the settings are configured to display a solid/constant light, it still blinks.

I'm with Atranox. I'm not sure LightFlow Lite is working at all for me on my Droid Razr Minn.
