Flashing blue light

I have the Motorola Droid X2. Just got it last Friday. All of a sudden, there is a blue light flashing at the top on the left side (as you look at the phone). Somewhere, I read that this means there are notifications. I have the sound set to sound when something comes in and haven't heard it sound. I have also checked the notificationds by dragging down the status bar - it says "no notification". There are no icons (like e-mail, text, etc.) on the status bar. What is this flashing blue light? It's driving me crazy!!

Did you check all your emails, text or missed calls because this is a notification indicator, the only issue is that a number of uses install ither apps that changes the nature of the alert that the color indicates.

If you have Handcent or K9 for email or sms messages check them also because they have option to change the light for notifications alerts..

I am sure its a notification but cant tell you for sure which one..

These are the standard ones for DROID X

Blinking Green: You will have a blinking green notification light whenever your screen is off and you have a notification (Email, Text, Voicemail, Missed call) in your notification bar that has not been cleared.
Blue: Incoming call.
Red: Your battery is low.
Solid Green: when the battery is low/dead, insert USB/Charging cable will turn on the green LED to show sign of life. The LED will turn off when the battery is charged enough to power up the phone

Check Messages and Miss Calls to see if you may have a unread or missed message that you cleared from notification without checking..

Not true not true - maybe for your phone based on settings you have changed, but not mine.....being stock, I've never had a BLUE light come on my phone prior to my installing Handcent and its the color I use to notify me of a new txt msg with HC. Blinking green has always been for email, calendar events and for text messages (prior to Handcent installation). Solid green...never seen it, only red for when battery gets too low.

Matterhornmom, having an annoying flashing light that you can't remove is not fun and I will do my best to help you. I looked at the user manual for your phone and was able to find two different meanings to the flashing blue light on your phone. It can be either a Bluetooth active notification or a network roaming notification. I listed a link below to the PDF file for your manual and you can view page 9 for a list of all your notification symbols. I have also listed steps to disable data roaming.

From a home screen, select App menu (located in the lower right).
Select Settings.
Select Battery & data manager.
Select Data delivery.
Select Data roaming to enable / disable.
Enabled when a check mark is present and you can remove the check mark to disable.
select OK.

:smileysurprised: OK I see why my information was diffrent than this post, I didnt realize that the OP has a Droid X2 instead of a Droid X... My mistake, this grouping devices on one thread can throw you off sometimes.. :smileywink: :smileyvery-happy:
