I have the Siemens SX-66 and it has on its top right corner a LED light that blinks certain colors to give information as to whether it is charging and if it is working and such. Anyway, when I am away from the phone and I return to it is the light is blinking red that means I missed a call so I turn the screen on and see what is up. It does not do that for a text message, though. After being away from the phone I have to turn the screen on to see if I missed a text message. What I want to know is there a way I can make it to where if I miss a text message while away that the red light wil blink then too and not just when I missed a phone call?
THANKS!!!
yes u can, go
"Start">"Settings">"Sounds & Notifications"
Select "Notifications" tab
On the "Event", select "Messaging: New text message"
then u can c "Flash light for", check it then select the desire amount of time to flash after u "missed" a text message.
:lol:
It is not here
I have the Siemens SX-66. I did what you suggested and went to Start">"Settings">"Sounds & Notifications. There was only a box that was already checked that said events (warnings, system events)
The other stuff are options I do not have. The stuff you told me, could it be for a different phone, or version of OS?
bump
I just had to bump this. This person gave me what was probably the correct answer but for a different phone because these instructions do not fit my phone. Can ANYONE help me? PLEASE!!!
No help?
Can't anyone help me here? The directions I was given was not correct for the model phone I have and I just HAVE to think it is feasable! PLEASE HELP! THANKS!!!!
Have you tried the software PhoneAlarm?

What is that?
I do not have a clue as to what that is. What is that? Is it software you add-on or something? If so what does it do and where do you get it? All I really want to do is change what I think would be a simple setting.
Thanks!!

Although you only need a simple notification setting, the LEDs can be tempremental.
Phonealarm is custom software, which is pretty much indispensible for any Phone user. I highly recommend it. Tell Bruce I sent you
It will give custom notifications depending on the kind of event, eg sms, missed call etc.

Money
This is not a huge deal and so I am not willing to spend money on it. I just want to change a setting or mess with the registry some how to make it where when a text message comes in while I was away from my phone that the notification light blinks red like it does when I miss a call in the same scenerio. It can't be this difficult and I have to think it is possible.
You have to click on the "Notifications" tab at the bottom of the screen to get to the notifications area, you are looking at the "Sounds" tab.
YES!!!
Now THAT is what I wanted. THANK YOU!!!!
The third line of the first reply to this post does specify the "notifications" tab, maybe you just missed it, but the answer was there.
have fun adjusting your notification settings hehe
if you want to use a wav file for a sound notification, place the wav file in your windows directory and it will allow you to select it. I have Hal from space odyssey tell me when "there is a message for you"

issit possible to have this feature? anyway i can tweak the registry to enable this? i find it quite useful, juz like when i have a Missed Call, i will know abt it thru the red flashing LED.
go to Start=>Settings=>Sounds & Notifications=>Notifications(tab)
in Event choose Messaging:New text message, then check Flash light for, and coose the time that you want to continiuing to blink
thanks alot xplode. didnt noe its that easy. thanks!
I didn't really know what to search for, but I'm looking for a program that if you have a text or missed call or email or anything that requires your attention, shows a full screen message saying "missed call" or "1 New Text Message" or something of the like.
The reason is sometimes my phone is on silent, and even if I look at the phone it's hard to notice if I have something new or not. Is there any such freeware program? I'm using Kavanna Rom 6.1.
Thanks.

Enjoy I hope that helps you out works AMAZING FOR ME
Can you pm me a link to this "Best Reminder" software? Do you think it's better than Don'tForget?
Thank you so much.
Anyone...?
The official 6.5 ROM gives me no control over the "flash light" settings in notifications.
I've read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460368
- with no success.
Does anyone know what's the option code to enable flashing ?
ok, I found the solution:
each item needs:
"Options"=dword:4000001F
"AvailableOptions"=dword:0000001f
basically what was described earlier...
another reason to confusion:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\Reminders]
is not reminders, it's really:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{15F11F90-8A5F-454c-89FC-BA9B7AAB0CAD}]
I had the same problem and found these registry settings too.
One thing that is still annoying, though, is that I seem to get a flashing light for new emails, even though I've explicitly disabled all notifications for email (including the flash). I'd really like to stop getting any email notifications at all (even the envelope in the taskbar) as I know that I'll always have new emails (I get 100+ per day)!
same here.. I still hope for a solution ...
I like the flashing feature, but NOT for mail.
I changed value for SMS and missed call.. And now LED blinks forever..
But now, sometimes, my phone does not wake up when i receive an SMS.. Well.. It's a random event.. LED blinks but sometimes it does not vibrate.
I remember that before changing that value SMS notification worked well..
So: Could You, please, tell me what is the original value..?

Nobody wants to help me..
i was wondering if this is normal. i use tf3d and if i stay with in the conversation, if the person sends me a txt back, it does not make its sound notification nor does a notification come up. so is this normal feature that doesnt alert me because i am already in the conversation view or is something wrong with my phone?
yeah, i have the same problem periodically...
Here too. :-(
same here..
I have noticed this occurs when the text message thread is still 'open' on the phone. If you close that particular conversation and go to the 'All Messages' view, the notification will sound.
I believe this is a 'feature' so that the notification does not go off if you are looking at the application waiting for a text.

thats what I thought it might be. It reminds me of how IM programs handle replies where you can have the sound disabled if you have a chat window open
I've been trying to figure this out all night. It's been working all alone until today. I hard rest and the problem is still there. I flashed merdinH rom again, same problem. flashed to Energy ROM same problem. Flashed back to merdinH and have working to resolve this all night. Hope someone else has better luck then I've had tonight.

Yup, me too. I wonder if there is a registry edit to disable that feature. I want my phone to go off every time there is a message. Sometimes I'm lazy and don't close the conversation out, and just leave my phone in my pocket...next thing you know, 3 missed texts and the person thinks you are ignoring them.
I'm glad this has been brought up. Hope someone comes up with a solution.
Morning all, got my desire 2 days ago and still trying to get used to it after leaving my HD2. 1 thing i am annoyed at is the apparent inability to turn the notification bar off for sms, received/sent and STILL get a sound/vibrate.
I have found the settings in messages and handcert as i use that as my default sms now.
If i remove the tick from notification bar (in messages menu) and the sound 1 is ticked but then grays out. Nothing is shown or more importantly HEARD even though its ticked but grayed out. I have done the same for the handcert but it seems the notification settings in the messages program override the handcert ones.
Basically i want to have NO notifications on the notification bar but for it to make a sound and vibrate. Can it be done?

You could try duck tape?
Seriously its only fully visable if you pull it down, can't you just ignore it?
no really helpful that, i can ofc course ignore it. but being a non winMo i thought you could edit it so it just never showed up. i'd just prefer not to have to drag the thing down and click clear every time i send/receive a msg.
not asking much for such a customisable phone or so i thought.

If you read the message the notification disappears...
And you can change your whole ''desktop'' except the notification bar as far as I know.
Maybe a rom cooker can edit the android files but out of the box? No you can't change it. Sorry
And many people see the notification tab as a plus, and I do to I really have
a hard time imaging getting annoyed with it so sorry for my first response but it goes in the list of (for example)
1. I hate androids open source way of doing things, wich really is a virtue of android. 2. I hate htc sense (then don't buy it)
thanks for the reply.
I am just slightly annoyed that changing the settings in the original messages settings conflict and over ride the handcert sms ones. gonna try chomp and see if those settings can take priority over the default messages app.

You can set the settings for each program, if you want to turn off notifications, you can do that.
I have turned off notifications from the deafult messaging app and uses hancent's notifications.
If you dont want any og those apps notifications you have to turn them both off
