The LED on the Droid Pro....

...sucks. I hate to say it, but it does. Unless you are looking directly at the phone you can miss alerts that LED is trying to convey, especially if the device is flat on a table as the LED is somewhat lower than the surface and any slight glare on the screen will hide the LED.

The LED on my BB Tour can be seen from across the room even if the phone is flat on a table. What can we do about the LED. I mean is there any way to make the LED brighter.

I was thinking perhaps I could stick something to the glass so that when the LED blinks, the light gets refracted(reflected, whatever) for better visibility like a tiny clear stick-on button or something. Something small that would hardly be noticeable unless the LED is blinking underneath. Where could I even find something like this? What do ya'll think?
 
Yeah I agree with you...it's pretty small and hidden. Your idea sound good but I have no idea of where or what device you could use.

Try changing the color with an app to something brighter than what you're using now. Mine seems good with blue. One major difference in this one and the Tour (which I've also had before too) is that the Tour LED is HUGE compared to the Pro one.
