Red LED light keeps flashing after I open a message

I have a blackberry pearl and after I receive a text message and open it the red light continues to flash. I have checked to make sure nothing else has received a message and it hasn't. I turned it off and took the battery out but it isn't fixing it.

The red light is telling you that your phone is on. It will flash regaurdless if you have a text or not. When you charge it the light turns green.
Thats how they're made :)

Hi everyone, I am having issues with my BB red indicator light is keep flashing, Was wondering way this keeps flashing and the BB is off but it keeps flashing the red indicator. Thanks for the help.

The blinking red light usually indicates there is a new message(email, text, blackberry instant messenger, etc). Verify that there are no new messages.

My bb curve wont ring/vibrate and the red light will not flash when I get a call/text message/voicemail.

You will need to firstly check the profile settings for notification of call/ text/ message/ voice mail.

On the home screen it is the speaker icon (profile) usually upper right corner

Choose the profile and scroll until you find the current profile - WIll be marked as active.

Scroll to the bottom of the menu for advanced
in the next menu - click on the bold active profile and opt for edit

Find the phone/ SMS/ MMS/ Messenger and any other actions that are not currently notifying...

Check the LED flashing option is set on all of these.

Is there any way to have the screen light up when receiving a text on the blackberry pearl?

1. go to your proflies (where the picture of the speaker is) and
2. scroll all the way down to the "advanced" option.
3. open the "advanced" option
4. scroll to the setting that has "(active)" in parenthesis just as i quoted (this what sound option you have your phone set to either: loud, normal, quiet, vibrate, phone only)
5. open that selection up that has the "(active)" next to it
6. scroll down to and open "sms text"
7. scroll to "repeat notification" and open up the option
8. select the "led flashing" option
9. do this for "in holster" and "out of holster"

How to switch off the green and red LED ?

My wife and I both have Pearl's. I found that the problem on both of them was caused by Color Pearl, an application that allows you to change the color of the Pearl's trackball. It was not a problem until upgrading the Blackberry software to v 4.5. I tried rebooting, removing the battery, etc. The light always came back on after an alert. Removing the application ColorPearl did the trick. Just go to Options>Advanced Options>Applications and delete ColorPearl. Hope this helps someone.
