Same problem here. I'm running 6.5 WWE

Same problem here. ATT Stock ROM. I do get my messages sometimes when my screen off but most of the time I'll turn on my screen and i'll get 2 or 3 sms messages at once.

Nope not for me.

I havent notcied that problem with mine. Also att stock rom on the tilt 2 only have the newest radio installed 4.4.9 (i think it is). and no issues with sms or mms not coming in when the screen is off, never noticed an issues before updating the radio either though.

Try this: Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications > Event:
Reminders > check "Display message on screen."
new text message > check "Display message on screen."
new MMS message > check "Display message on screen."
Ect ..
Also .. try this cab ..

I spoke too soon. I have recently been encountering this ever since I flashed the htc stock rom 1.86.401.0. it doesnt happen often, but it has caught my attention. before it would come thru with the screen off and when it did come thru the screen wouldnt turn on which was great, but now sometimes it will come thru and sometimes it wont until I turn the screen on, and I have events notification unchecked, I like the idea that the screen doesnt come on to avoid accidential touching of the screen when in the clip. So has anyone found anything to make it stop? Using tilt 2 on ATT.

this sometimes happens to me but a soft reset helped a bit i have no clue as to why this happens but id like to get an answer if anyone can post back

same thing had happened to me. i found out it was the new pocket shield that i was running that kept me from getting the they r suppose to come in.. hard reset will kill it and should b up n running... im on sprint running stock rom!

Werll I dont have the pocket shield. And mine started doing it after flashing the stock rom on HTC site for EU. So I know its not any programs I put in or any custom roms. I think what happens is the radio possibly falls asleep at times and doesnt wake up.

this happens to me as well, but not all the time. Im on official WWE 6.5 Asia ROM.
Strangely, this happen whenever i use custom ringtones (not from windows). Whenever i switch to any ring from windows, the message comes all the time. Can anybody confirm this?

I have the same problem. I have an official Eastern Europe ROM 1.86.401.1. (clean install, no third parties soft installed).
The problem appears even with windows ringtones. I hope there will be a hotfix soon! All my friends think I am ignoring them

Same here. but I also found another bug, I know I should make another post, but I think XDA will kill me
But if you happen to notice that along with this, you will notice that at times, the txt will come thru but you get no alert. And I am using the same rom your using. Its been happening since this rom, and also happens with nrgz rom so its specific to the rom not the tinkering. But I was txting someone today and after about the 3 or 4th interchange I noticed the person hadnt txt back in like 10 mins, when I turned the screen on there was a txt msg that didnt notify me, didnt turn on or alert me, so there seems to be two bugs with it.
Unless anyone has looked into this, I am going to look further and see if this is only when using HTC's enhanced msg program, if it happens thru WinMO going thru all messages. I'll let you know unless someone has looked into this already.

so far im using the ringtones that is provided by default from the windows and everything is good. Will report back though if i do find the problem again.
Oh and btw i had the stock 6.1 WWE Asia ROM before i upgrade to the official 6.5, the 6.1 behave the same way too. Perhaps it is the manila messaging that cause the problem
edit: I contacted HTC via email and they said that they "have no special setting" for this isssue. They suggest me to perform a hardreset. I replied back, "i have and the problem still exist". I'll see what they send me tomorrow and i'll share it with you guys.
I do suggest that we all report this bug to HTC via their email customer service thing so that they recognise the problem and release the hotfix.

I think they are going to have a difficulty with this one because its not repetative and is intermittent. I can say I never noticed this with the HTC Fuze and dont think I ever had this problem.
And being that it doesnt happen often enough I dont think people are going to catch it and they are going to think that they just didnt hear it, unlike us nuts

Hi guys i have posted this on another thread but it has similar symptoms, below is what i have posted in the thread.
I am having a problem with the notification system.
Lets say a person Name "A" sent me a sms, the phone will ring and the light blinks if i did not attend to it.
However the problem starts whenever I replied "A" but left the phone in the TF3D threaded msg screen with "A". After sometime the phone goes to standby. But when "A" replies my msg again, they phone only vibrates and does not ring. The Yellow Led does not blink as well.
I am currently using a stock ROM and i am not sure if you guys experience this as well.
This is Rather annoying as most of the time after replying a person's sms, i would just hit the standby button straight away without bother exiting the threaded sms screen. But if i do that, the next sms that comes in from the same person will not ring or trigger the LED.
I am not sure if this problem has been posted and fix, but after many days of searching i cant seem to find a solution for it.
some basically it means the notification did not come through only in the manila threaded msg screen with the specific person, because i guess they somehow got tricked to thinking that we are actually reading the msg when in reality the screen is off and we are not reading it. Please Check if this describe your problem.
I still need a solution for this

pukipuki,
Seems based on what your saying this might be the htc manila msg program, can you confirm if the same happens if you go to all msgs and bring up the person your talking to thru there and see if it happens that way too? My suspicision is that it wont do it, but I want to be sure, cause thats been my guess all along.
Or can anyone else confirm that it is only happening in the htc threaded msg and not the winmo threaded msgs.

My suggestion would be to try turning System Event Sounds on in the Sounds section in the Settings tab in TouchFLO/Sense. (Alternatively you can acheive the same effect by ticking the Events checkbox in the Sounds tab in "Sounds & Notifications" in Settings for WinMo.)
I came across the 'no sound alert' problem for new texts and found that the audio alert tone came back when I made the above change. (Funnily enough when I was having this problem, I had enabled vibrate for new texts and the phone vibrated even though there was no audio.)

Even with that setting on, the problem still exists.

[Q] notification alert app

i got my dad the G2 for XMAS and he loves it! his only complaint is that once the screen goes black there is no way for him to know there is a notification. any apps out there to remedy this?

Try installing an app from the market called"Led Me Know". You can customize it so that the led's on the phone notify him of sms, mms, missed calls even low battery. Only works on rooted phones, although I've seen comments from people saying it works on unrooted phones as well. Anyways its free so why not give it a go.
Sent from my CyanogenMod powered G2.

There's also Trackball Alert (on the market) which was the preferred method on my Nexus One before i got the G2.
My question is tho, is colored trackbal (the led light ring around the G2's trackpad) even possible on the G2, i read somewhere it wasn't, white was the ONLY color available, and that is why Cyanogen doesn't have that portion in his rom (whereas, its built into CyanogenMod on the Nexus One).
So is it even possible to have colors on the Trackpad Light ring?

^^No. Not possible!

[Q] Is the notification LED on your Note II working reliably?

Being an ex-Galaxy S1 and Galaxy S2 owner I was happy to finally have a notification LED on my phone. However I have found that the behaviour of the LED just isn't reliable.
When I got it a week ago it worked, then it stopped working for no reason, then it worked again, then stopped, now it works sometimes but most it just doesn't. I find the behaviour to be quite erratic and difficult to diagnose.
I tried using both the stock LED code and LightFlow (exclusively and at the same time) but both exhibit the same erratic sometimes-works-sometimes-doesn't behaviour. Totally unreliable.
This has happened with my original 4.1.1 ROM (stock, unrooted), then 4.1.1 rooted, then 4.1.2 stock unrooted and now I'm on stock 4.1.2 rooted. No different. Sometimes it works, most times it doesn't.
Is your Note II notification LED reliable? Searching got me some threads on LED trouble (both for SGS3 and Note2), but no conclusive reasons/solutions.
PS: I checked the LED with the factory test code and it works perfectly there - it does not appear to be a hardware issue at all.

It works for me all time. Very reliable I'd say. And I'm a person who hates any sort of non working things. Like Smart Alert, which has literally stopped working for me. And like you, it works each time perfectly on test mode.
PS: I switched to LED Light Manager last week, but that doesn't mean the stock LED didn't work.
Swyped from my GT-N7100

My native LED works fine but it's pretty limited. Better than nothing. I like Lightflow the best but it interferes with/invokes the Note II Accessibility functions so I removed it until they are worked out. Light Manager seems to work but the only thing I don't like about it, that Lightflow has, is the ability to flash network status when you have good signal (i.e. green flashing LED when you have signal; Lightflow does but LM does not have this function).
Ideally I just want an LED manager to mimic Blackberry, flashing green in standby mode, and flashing red when "something comes in". I have no need for 18,000,000 color combos.
Cheers

I haven't had any issues with my LED notification light. It has always worked for me. I don't use any apps though. The most I do is go into an app and select the color I want the LED to flash. But that's already built into the app. But they stay on while my screen is off. If it's flashing, and I turn on my screen, then I believe they disappear. But to be honest, if it flashes and I turn on my phone, I usually check the messages, reply to them, or clear them / swipe them away.

So despite all the problem threads I found, 3 users with no issues at all, interesting.
I can understand that as for the first days the LED behaviour was accurate, but since then it has been quite randomish and I have been unable to find a pattern. Somtimes I have a missing call and have the LED blinking, sometimes I have a missing call and nothing happens. There is no easy difference between the two situations.
I will try LED Light Manager, never used it and one more shot won't hurt. Meanwhile I was starting to think that the LED unreliability was the reason why 99.9% of all Galaxy Note II covers designers don't bother to add a LED cutout. :laugh:

Mine has been reliable so far.

The notification LED on my Note II has been very reliable, unlike on a past HTC phone where the light would either not blink or would not stop blinking.

All of my led are working fine
n7100
omega rom v10 perseus kernel 31
hit thanks its free anyway

It's working properly on my N7100 also.
No problems at all.
Now for the solution:-
1.You can try reflashing a rom (stock or custom)
2. Install ths.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koo.lightmanager&feature=search_result
This should override the stock LED functions and may improve it's performance.

No issues what so ever with the LED, I've never used custom roms/kernels on my phone though.

I'm even more puzzled than before now, as I cannot find a reason for the erratic behaviour on my phone.

Did you read my post and try my method?

Yes, I already had Light Manager. I also have LightFlow, but first started using teh samsung notifications only.
I find the same pattern in them all... sometimes teh notifications trigger/clean properly, some times they don't. Usually they don't.
I tried several combinations, Samsung LED app only, Lightflow off, Light Manager off, etc. And the same remains. The behaviour is erratic. Seen other users complaining about this in other foruns, but since it seems tricky to reproduce, no solution is clear.
I'l on 4.1.2 stock (bot rooted now) and besides de rooting my phone has almost no customization at all. Going for a full wipe/reset seems overkill, as it appeared to have done nother with other users.
Still trying to find out if this is a documented bug or just something specific to certain OS/apps.

I've noticed with Facebook messenger that if I get a message right as the screen goes dark and messenger was the last program on the screen, the LED will not light up. The phone must think I already checked it in that case. Other then that, it works as it should.

Mine works aswell

Mine never fails to notify me of events, but sometimes it lights dimly with no reason.
I'am still wondering why ...

The LED's glow bright if the ambient lighting is powerful, like in Sunlight or in a well lit room, and it'll be on the darker (dimmer) side when the ambient lighting is dark, like in a dark or low lit room.
Swyped from my GT-N7100

After about 3 weeks with the Note 2 I am still puzzled by the LED. I have days when it works perfectly (like you guys are reporting) but others when it just stops triggering and so far I found no pattern. Some code related to it must be really flaky. But when it works, it usually works fine...

All your LED are belong to us

Getting some features you've been missing back

So probably like most users I had the Note7 coming to this phone I have noticed a few things missing that I really need. One of those was notifications the lack of an LED indicator has kinda bothered me. So I went looking for the Samsung always on screen with the clock... I figured without the LED light it would have that so I found in the app store Always on AMOLED. This app help fix my issue of never knowing if I had missed a e mail or text or phone call.
2nd was the lack of the phone vibrating hard enough to feel in my pocket.. I went looking in the settings for the vibrate pattern normally found in 6.0 couldn't find it so i searched around and found an app Light flow I have used this app before to change the color of my LED notification so I can tell if it was an e mail text or phone call I installed the app to help with the first mentioned issue also when I realized it didn;t have an LED notification it surprised me .
I am still trying to figure out other features I am missing has anyone else found things that they are missing with this phone. The calander is another lacking issue for me I like the month view with cut of writing on the days I had something if anyone knows a alternative would greatly be appreciated.
I miss the wireless charging feature I knew it didn;t have it when I ordered it but I still miss it.

The pixel has a LED notification light that can be turned on in the settings by going to notifications, clicking the gear at top right and switching pulse notification light on.

We had multiple notes in the house and got free wireless chargers with them, and they all are in a box. It's slow, it's awkward, and it's just not as good as a regular old plug it in charge....

Samsung fast wireless charging is awesome and every phone should have it. Just like every phone should be water resistant.
I love the way this phone moves. Which is something even the note 7 didn't have consistently. It's the first phone I can say has made my use more fluid and purposeful.

Text messages / notifications not coming through

Hi!
First of all, I'm new to this phone - I owned it for about 2 weeks. and I'm very happy with it. Nonetheless I have noticed an issue that I hope someone can help me out with:
Since the phone doesn't have the notification LED, I have tried out a couple of apps to facilitate this function. I ended up uninstalling them. Now I experience that some notifications are not coming through (so far I've noticed text messages). I'm trying to figure out whether this is an issue with the phone, or if it might have something to do with the notification apps that I tested? I configured the apps and settings/permissions as necessary to get them to work, but I never reset those same settings before I uninstalled.
The issue I am facing is e.g. if a text message is sent to my phone (with display not on), the text and/or notification randomly doesn't get through until I wake the phone. After waking it, the message comes through immediately. Could this have something to do with testing those notification apps? If so, is there any way to find the specific settings and reset them or am I facing a factory reset to get it to work properly again?
Any help or hint is appreciated
