Hi
I am using the software dont forget to change the led blinking on my s620. http://magazin.softimage.cz/dontforget/app-description/
it works so far. the led blinks when i received an email. thats what i wanted.
but when i now read the mail, that the led does not stop blinking. i have to run the admin panel once more to reset it.
same on reminders. i miss them and the led blinks. i dismiss them and the led does not turn off. it remains blinking.
i am using htc s620 with wm6 original rom.
anyone knows the problem?
It used to work perfectly on my WM6 HTC WWE ROM, but now on Rogers the same problem. Sometimes it stops blinking when I open the last calls list and when I go trough all the messages, but I know that's not it.
Fortunately, Radim is working on a new version and seems it will be available soon.
If you want to help
Please simulate the behaviour we are talking about (e.g. LED keeps blinking even when all emails are read) and then do an export of following registry branches (incl. all sub-branches) from your device:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\
and also
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SoftImage\DontForget
and send it to me to.
Regards
Radim, author of the DontForget app.
Here you go my frined.
If there's anything I can do more for your app that is vital for my likeness of Dash, please contact me via PM and I will give you my e-mail
Yes.
- please describe what was wrong in the time you did the registry export (hoping you did the export when the app was in such state, you should do the export when e.g. the device is blinking and you already read/saw all missed events )
- And tell me the version of the DontForget you are using (in the About dialog).
Ok, I really dedicated myself on recreating the problem, and found that there is no problem. Actually, there is - because on this ROM LED starts and stops blinking as it should, but starting has a 10 seconds delay, and stopping even longer delay. But in the end, the LED seems stopped eventually; except if I'm wrong, but I will then report back (it seemed to me LED continued to blink for the rest of the day, but I cannot seem to recreate the problem any more...).
Ps. version is 2.01 in the About
i can reproduce it easily. I receive an email and read it and it does not stop blinking anymore.
i attached my regs in this state:
turned on phone today morning everything was fine. no blinking. i received an email. blinking. read it. blinking remains.
Same problem for me, as soon as i receive an email, the blinking starts and it doesn't blinking stop.

Please try these:
- choose "Test ..." in the Admin and tell me if the LED stopped blinking once the test is finished or not
- are you sure you did the export when the app was in the state we are talking about? You should do the export when e.g. the device is blinking and you already read/saw all missed events i.e. in the state DF behaves wrong.
first the version 2.01
second the notfication window. that doesnt pop up at all after i received an email.
third the test. it does not stop the led blinking after an email is received. just the apply and exit button fixes it.
yes, i exported the settings after i received an email and led was still blinking
Ok, just tell me.
If the device is still blinking (even there is no missed events), how it blinks? Still the same (fast) frequency as during the notification or a bit slower as usualy the device is blinking (e.g. when the option "Slow down LED blinking frequency" is off) ?
it seems, that it is the usual blinking. and not the faster notification blinking.
Ok, but you have "Slow down LED blinking frequency" option set to 0(off), right? So it looks DF is not running (or crashed probably).
Please try to enable the option "Show state icon" in the Admin and watch whether the green exclamation-like icon is still shown (on the top near to radio-signal icon, but not on homescreen). This icon should be green. Watch, when the e-mail arrives, if the icon is still there and if it is there once you have read it etc.
Give me a feedback then.
will it change color from green to red or something? i am kind of color blind...

The tray-icon (exclamation mark in a square) should normaly be green (red when the notification is disabled).
But most important is whether the icon is still there or not - regardless of the color.
yes, it remains there
i've got a problem with the Dont Forget software also... it keeps getting shutoff somehow?
I start it, the icon shows up... I exit out of the start menu, and lock my phone... not long later, i see my led flashing, i hit start, and the dontforget icon isn't at the top anymore, so i restart it, and it keeps happening... all this happens when i don't receive any calls or messages also.
I'm using the Rogers WM6 rom, not sure which version of dontforget... I'm testing to see how long it takes to shut off now..
I just reenabled it at 9:54a,
it's now 10:27a, and it's flashing... no messages or anything, just sitting idle DONTFORGET shut off
New version is out
DontForget 2.50 (Beta 1) is out
It took a bit longer than originally expected, but finally I finished new version announced early this year.
I'm sorry for delays and possible inconveniences, but now you can take a pleasure with the new DontForget 2.50.
Detailed information and download you can find at HERE !
Please check this version and tell me if the problems still persists.
Enjoy

Hi there,
is there anyway to have the software only notify me of new emails from my Outlook/Exchange mail?
I have POP accounts but they tend to have spam etc which i dont read.
So at the moment dontforget is notifying me of new email all the time, until i mark all my profiles as read.
thanks.

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.
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..?

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
Just rooted my phone and installed Cyanogenmod 7.0.3. Now for some odd reason, when I lock/turn the screen off on the phone the light around the optical trackpad keeps flashing every 10 seconds or so. I thought it was a signal light telling you that you have reception, but no even when I have zero bars it still flashes. Any suggestions on how I might make it stop flashing?

trackpad flash is for notifications, you may have an email, missed call, sms, mms, poke or tweet waiting to be read.

Your comment sort of traced the issue. I turned off "Pulse notification light" under Sound Settings -> Notifications and that stopped the light from blinking. However I want it to blink if I have something in need of attention, but I don't. I've checked Gmail, Email, K-9 Email, Google+, SMS, and Voicemail and there isn't anything.
It's also weird that the touch keys (home, menu, back, search) are always on when using the phone, I think before they didn't turn on unless I touched them but that's another thing.

Sometimes the light will bug out if you've had a lot of notifications and you've cleared them all at once or quickly. A reboot will fix it.
The touch keys lighting up are usually based on the ambient light sensor, which chooses whether or not its bright enough to warrant lighting up the keys to be easier seen.
Okay this is weird. The blinking stops after 10 minutes. I assume that's the threshold for the normal notification blinky otherwise it'll continue blinking if you don't check whatever was unread. For some reason its as if it thinks there is something unread everytime I unlock the phone and then lock it.

Hey there,
I'm having the same issue but never really tracked it down because I didn't care too much. But after reading this thread, I gave it another shot. Pulling down the status bar, it was the AlarmDroid-Entry (categorized as "Notifications", not as "Ongoing") that struck my eye. The way AlarmDroid (by default, see below) tells you about an active alarm is that it kind of posts a non-removable notification. I'd guess it keeps reposting it every few miliseconds via a service or something.
Turning the active alarms off does indeed eliminate the trackpad-flashing in my case, so I think this is more of an AlarmDroid and possibly other apps using similar status notifications issue than actually a cyanogenmod one.
Edit: just in case anyone reads this and wonders: AlarmDroid actually gives you the option to disable the notification behavior either by disabling the status symbol altogether or by putting it in the right side part of the status bar. See "General Preferences" -> "Display Settings" -> "Status bar symbol" for possible configurations.
Best Regards,
alturiak
Thanks for the reply ... I fixed it by installing Cyanogenmod 7.1 RC1. It was weird, I knew it was the ROM when I installed MIUI and then back to Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 and the flashing started happening again.
Also I don't use Alarm Droid ... either way, thanks for the reply.
i notice the light up screen notification isn't working (if yours is working without an APP, please let me know), for example if you get a text message or e-mail, so on. The phone should light up for that notification in the lock screen, etc, but it seems in this one it doesn't, the LED works for the color, but again since we can't change it for now. i find it the best way for now until then.
let me know if you have the same problem i have above.
To solve this problem, look on google play for Screen Notifications and that will fixed that problem. (i would write the source i got it from but i can't write URLs yet)
