It would be great if the LED could be used to notify of missed calls or messages on the lock screen

As a former and long-time BlackBerry user, I would love to see the Kompakt use an LED for notifications. Since the lock screen only displays the Mudita logo and padlock icon, to see if I have a missed call or message, I have to take the phone in my hand and unlock it, which contradicts a bit the idea of not having to reach for the smartphone every now and then to “check something.” That’s why it would be great if the LED would indicate a missed call or message, e.g. longer blink - missed call, short blink - message.

I also thought that this would be a nice option.

I actually like the fact that there is some friction and I have to check to see if I have messages , I really don’t want to see lights alerting me to notifications constantly, to me its just a way of getting sucked out of the moment into my phone

I like this suggestion. The light can also display multiple colors, so there are plenty of combinations to signal there are notifications waiting.

I would personally rather glance at the screen than have to unlock it to check for notifications as well. I see the counter point from @minimalist4life - I think this is a very personal choice, and the ideal setup here would be a setting to toggle this feature on/off

Do you mean the flashlight LED or the front tiny LED? I remember there were some phones that allowed you to pick colors of the latter depending on notification type, but I think it was lit solid, not blinking.

I mean the tiny LED on the front (I’ve seen it show green and red so far). It’s red (always on) now that my battery is < 20%, but it’s been green at other times. It’s very subtle and could be a way to show pending notifications.

Personally I wouldn’t use the flashlight because a) it’s very bright, and b) I like to keep the screen facing up for this device so it would be facing into my desk. Could be another option for configuration within settings though!

I though the same! I had a blackberry with this notification led which i kind of loved, even though it was slowly flashing i didnt worry too much to pick up my phone asap.
Seeking some people are against it, option to turn it on/off would be perfect.
