Flashlight alerts for calls and text notification is next big thing needed in WP updates...!!

[Sudesh Baser]

Seriously... I like the features used by iPhone and android users...!! Now its needed in windows too..!!

I can see where some people might like that feature, but it wouldn't be very useful to me, since I wouldn't see any lights while it's in my pocket.

Its better to have flash alerts rather than ringtones when u are involved in meetings !!

thats correct. an option would be good. but, basically, it gets illuminated even if u put it on vibrate mode. just u have to keep the display up (isn't that obvious). flashing rather attracts the whole meeting sometime.

I used to have a sony Xperia
a few years back
if I got a missed message or a call
the charging light would flash
blue so I knew there was a
missed call message reminder
can not see why we can not get this on WP

Use Glance if your phone supports it...

With Lockscreen notifications and enhancements like Glance for Lumias that support it and of course the whole nature of the Live Tile Start screen, I don't see the need for flashing lights. Crucially, my Lumia 930 doesn't have any LEDs to begin with.

Imagine flash alert in my Lumia 1020 in a meeting - Xenon power!

The capacitive buttons do have controllable LED's (like when your phone goes dead for some time and you try to charge it up, the Start button blinks to show that the phone is charging before it has enough charge to power up the phone).

I would rather have an LED light installed/designed into the phone than camera flash. Mainly because of how excessive a camera flash is, not only alerting you but everyone in your general vicinity. That's not mention others who have grown weary over privacy issues today and thinking some random person is taking their photo.
