Notification light question

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"

LED Notification not working

Hi all, i have the WM6 rom but i get an sms i dont get the LED changing from green to orange anymore
Is there anyway of enabling this?
I also dont get the orange LED for miss called either

duh
this has already been answered in this forum many times, but you have to set the orange led, it is not enabled by default
it is available in
start>settings>sounds and notiications
then go to the type of notification you want to have it on for, like missed calls or sms, then check the box that says flash light for: then set the amounnt of time you want it to stay orange

I'm having the same problem and it has nothing to do with the Sounds and Notifications. I've set them but when a notification is received, such as a text message, the amber LED does not blink. The LED stays green. This also occurs on charging also. The LED stays green.

Well, I think we need a little more information. Which ROM do you have? I realize that the first post indicated "the WM6 rom" but that could be anything from XDA Live V1 to Black Shadow and everything in between. Does the problem occur after a clean install before you add programs? What steps have you already tried to correct the problem?

The current ROM being used is ELF2.1 WM6. The problem is apparent when
1) charging (no amber LED before 100% charge)
2) text/email/voice message notification through 'Sounds/Notifications' (no amber when notification set)
Thanks for the reply.

What 3rd party programs do you have installed?

I had the base rom installed without any additional programs and had the problem. This basically was the case after the install of ELF 2.1.

Official 6.5 ROM with disabled "flash light" notifications..

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..?

Get Rid of Blinking Green Light???

Yes i used the universal cab found everywhere for this that is suppose to give u options in sounds and notifications. I installed, soft reset, went to sounds and notifications, drop down menu, nothing for this flashing green light. Yes under new text message and stuff like that theres a box u can check to flash the light and how often but that does nothing! I have all the boxes unchecked, i get a new sms, and still the green light blinks until i read the sms, wtf? Anyway to get rid of this light completely?

I heard that once you change the registry for it to blink...it will blink regardless if you have it checked or not.

So where is the registry edit to turn it off?

I have a problem similar. I dont want to get the blinking light on new email but cant seem to get rid of it. I did find a post where it told the registry edit to turn it off and it only worked for the first send/rec then after that the blinking light came back

Just my theory as I have been looking for this for months is that we are missing an alert setting. WE are missing the "unread message alert" that has been missing for a while. It is not that it doesnt shut off, it is the unread message overrides it and keeps it blinking. Have yet to find a fix for it

Change LED flash color per operation

I did a search and didn't find anything(although I used the mobile app to search, read:aggravating)on this subject. I want to know if there is a mod to change the led flash to blue for messages and missed calls instead of red. Just a personal aggravation, really. Not something I absolutely can't live without, clearly.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

The only thing I know of is to use GO SMS. You can change the LED to blue for SMS messages through GO SMS but I don't think it will change the color for missed calls.

LightFlow has been working very well for me on default mode on EL29 and FC22. Only blue and red work, but they work reliably. You can get purple to work if you use "direct mode", but I find that the LED turns off when the phone goes to sleep mode, so it's not very useful as a notification light.

re
I as well have been looking for a WAY or MOD or APP that will successfully allow me to change the LED notification accordingly but yet have been able to find anything that FULLY works. Liteflow doesnt FULLY work as the adjustments are off and when screen times out its pointless pretty much.
The ONLY thing Iv been able to find for another "notification method" is having the LED Flash from the Camera flash for an alert. Pretty cool thought if you have your phone faced down and dont here it.... Send me a message as for request if anyone wants the know how to set that up and I'll give you step by step..

try blink from the marketplace. its like lightflow, but its much lighter and more efficient and works great.
keep in mind the led will only display blue red or purple tho.
blink is one of my must have apps
