Handcent and 2.1 Led Notification

Since installing 2.1 this morning, I'm not getting LED notifications from Handcent. I've played with the settings some, but I can't seem to get them working.


Adding this from my later post:

OK, did some further testing. If my screen is dark (asleep), it lights up my main screen and I see the notification in the notification area. After the phone goes back to sleep, I get a blinking reminder LED that blinks a short time, then goes off. At this point, I think this is just a change in 2.1 behavior. Not a bug.

When I hit "Test Notification" in Handcent, I do not get a LED.
 
I force updated from Link 1 and had a problem with the standard messaging app, pre 2.1, so i immediately installed Handcent and disabled notifications of standard messaging app. I get the blue LED on text message, but it doesn't blink, it just stays there...then again I'm sure I can just change that in the settings lol. Somewhat offtopic but, i got my friend to force update and he did Link 1, and he says his wallpapers won't change for his backgrounds, LWP's, but only for his lock screen...dunno what to tell him lol

mine works when the screen is off, when its on it goes off (which is kinda cool)

This is a change due to the update.

2.1 does NOT blink your LED when the screen is on. This is because you can quite obviously see your notifications on the bar.

It will revert to the same behavior as 2.0.1 when you have the screen off.

Though the power savings may be minimal, at least there is some :D

Is he using a home replacement app? I know some of them don't support the live wallpapers (I am using Sweeter Home, and the only way I get the live wallpapers is by using the default home).
