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"

dont forget software

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.

System Notifier

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.

Anyone...?

No message alert tones

My TP2 has developed a problem where it doesn't beep when I get SMS or email messages, and the first I know is when I look at the phone and see the notification icons on the TF3D bar.
I have the tones turned on under settings>sounds and notifications>notifications. The event new text message has an alert, and I have tested the sound which does work, but it just doesn't seem to play when I get a new message, nor for emails.

Make sure "Notifications (alarms,reminders)" is checked in sounds & notifications setting panel.

Same problem with Windows Live mail... SMS and other email seems to work...

yes, i have checked that and it definitely is checked. any other suggestions anyone? ​

Do you use an application called Gyrator by any chance? I had this exact same issue with my SMS / email tones. Try quitting/disabling Gyrator and see if it has any effect in your case.

I've had the same problem since day 1 with my TP2. I configured my email accounts and they've never managed to play a notification. SMS works fine, but emails don't. I have 4 email accounts and have to continually check for the flashing green notification light.
I've settled on waiting to see if any 3rd party ROMs solve it, following release of HardSPL (it's an exciting wait!).

Oddly enough I seem to have the same issue with another screen rotator app called changeScreen. I wonder what it is that causes these screen rotator applications to disable the alert tone for both SMS and e-mails? I do get the blinking led though...

SOLUTION (for me)

It's wrong to assume screen rotation software is affecting the notifications. I had the problem before installing such software.
Incidentally, since my problem was confined to email notifications, I've installed a workaround in the form of GudenSoft's 'Email Scheduler'. When using that software, my email notification sounds are working just fine.
Here it is if anyone else wants to try it - http://www.gudensoft.com/emailscheduler/

yes, I do have Gyrator 2 installed, but I don't think that is the problem. I exited the application and sent myself a couple of texts from another phone and it still didn't give me an alert.
Oh well I think it is hard reset time. I'll install things one by one and try to find what causes my problem and let you know my findings!

[Q] My trackpad light keeps flashing

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.
