Hi guys.
Am running a stock Evo 4g, and when i receive text messages, the notification light does not flash. Iv made sure to check that is checked on in the settings menu, but for some reason more often than not ive an unread text message (SMS) but the notification led does not flash. the notification light flashes just fine for all other alerts, eg gmail.
also, am using the built in sms app. no third party sms/mms apps installed.
what gives?
regards,
asmd.
Did you check in the messaging app settings or just phone settings...I'm not sure but there might be something in there that has it turned off...I can't confirm cus I'm running miui and my settings menu is different than yours I'm sure

thanks for the reply.
have checked both menus. The setting menu as well as the messaging app menu. cant find anything that could have been turned off to set the notification led not to flash.
regards,
asmd.
googling for this only brings up my own post here at xda!!
wtf?? how can i be the only one with this problem?
am running stock, no root, a couple of games installed, skype, fb... no alternate core system apps. triple checked all settings, and yet it doesnt flash when i receive text messages.
*disgruntled*
asmd.
after a couple of resets, ive got the notification led back again.
really know what i did to get it working or what caused it to stop.
so summary, reset solved the problem. (after 3rd time)
Just so you know, the LED will stop blinking after 6-7 minutes of you receiving a text/MMS/missed phone call....
It's by design. A HTC rep told me it was to 'conserve' on battery power.... LED's don't use THAT much juice...
thanks for the reply.
i knew that.
my problem was that it wouldnt flash at all on receiving a new text message.
but its working now.
wish i knew what went wrong.

I upgraded to 2.2 OTA yesterday. Everything has worked great except that out of all issues, the notification sound for my text message became a very low key pop sound. I attempted to change it various times and tried resetting my phone a couple of times to see if that changed anything and nothing.
The funny part is I can still change the sound notifications for my twitter, so it is specifically the text messaging that is causing a problem. I have never rooted and didn't flash that early froyo, just the legit one yesterday.
Can anyone help me?
Does anyone have any ideas ?
Have you tried a reboot?

By rebooting you mean turning off and turning on? If yes I have many times and tried taking out the battery too.

Im rooted using fresh right now it is built on the latest OTA and I'm trying to replicate your problem. What happens when you attempt to change the sound also where are you changing the sound at in messaging settings or the default in sounds?

When I go to settings/sound/notification sound I click any of the sounds and click ok. (As I highlight any of them it plays the preview sound).
Then I exit and have multiple people text me and it plays a little tiny sounding popping sound instead of whatever sound I picked.
Now I am on launcher pro and attempted changing on regular sense and nothing happened. I'm also using chompsms. (maybe uninstall chompsms?)
I don't know what to do . I turned off the phone several times and also took out the battery. Twitter notifications work fine, so its directly related to texting
go into your messages home screen press menu, press settings, scroll to received messages heading, make sure play notification sound is checked and than select a notification sound from the next option below and select ok

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG THANK YOU !!!!!!!! You have no idea how frustrated I was with this !
I really appreciate it man.
Ive tried several roms and all seem to do the same thing. It may have even done it on the stock rom but I dont remember.
My LED notification when I get txts or emails is not blinking correctly. It will blink very irregularly for the first 15 seconds and then sometimes wont blink at all after that. Ive tried custom apps like go sms and an app that forces the light to come on at fixed intervals but it still wont work right, like something is conflicting with the light coming on.
Has anyone else experienced this or know a fix?

Im on the latest Frankenstein rom, but Ive tried the latest Bonsai one before this and it did it as well.
Theres others experiencing this as well but I havent found any fixes for it yet, even the apps they recommend dont work for me.

Try Missed Reminder
My configuration:
Start/Stop Service (Check)
Autostart (Check)
Everything else disabled.
Preferences settings for Missed SMS/MMS/Missed Calls/Missed Gmails
Turn the screen on (Unchecked)
Popup (Unchecked)
Vibrate (Unchecked)
Ringtone (Silent)
Blink Led (Unchecked)
Notification Intervals (1s)
Number of repeats (Forever)
I found that by using these settings, it forces the device to keep the LED blinking. I also found that you can then use apps with custom LED settings like Go SMS to change the color and LED blink rate with no problems.
Its always done this. Maybe one day we can get a fix. Sometimes mine works just fine and other times it is very sporadic.

Same here. Always done this from day one. I had a brand new Epic, played around with it, and the LED crap never worked. On that particular phone, the PRL would never update so I took the phone back and got another one. PRL worked fine, and the LED on that phone did the same thing.
I also have the LED to set to keep blinking in Chomp SMS, and it does not work. I have ALWAYS gotten the sporadic LED blinks when I get a message, and then it disappears.
This has happened on the STOCK phone out of the box, as well as with DK28 and Bonsai 2.0.1.
So regardless of the ROM you use, you're still going to be out of luck. Until Samsung can get this fixed...hopefully in the new Froyo build coming out next week, then you are stuck, just like many other people are.
I have not tried that program that was posted by Isira, but you may give it a try and see if that fixes your problem. I tried a program similar way in the beginning and it didn't work.
It's worth a shot though. But Samsung knows its a problem, and that's all there is to it. You're stuck with it, just like me.
UPDATE I just tried the program and so far it seems to work. My SMS is still blinking. Not quite a true second like it is set, but it is blinking. I'll keep testing it, but you may give it a try.
I did try the missed reminder app and messed around with the settings but it still blinked sporadically. On a side note I used the samsung tool to update to EB13 and stock 2.2 and the blinking seems back to normal...
Does anyone know of a way to test the notification lite. I have a feeling mine isnt working anymore. I had lightflow install that was running my notification lights. As of yesteray the light doesn't come on anymore with alerts come in.
Is there a way to test in the system or somethuing to see if its still wroking? thanks
BTW im Rooted and ROMed on AOKP27.
send your self an email, or having someone text you?:????
Email yourself, or use GV to SMS yourself, etc. etc.
Check in your settings, if "Puls Notification Light" is still checked
If it is, reboot your phone. If it still doesn't work, ry a different ROM...

Light flow, notifications, missed call (or any of the apps), all the way at bottom is test. Will probably need screen off to get notification light to blink.

Thanks guys, i tired all that and nothing..i thinks its the ROM im flashing back to 26 see if that helps. Thanks again
as the title states, I would like to know if there is away that I am not seeing to disable the screen illuminating when I receive a notification (sms, email.. etc)
I don't like this feature, the phone already tells me via audio notification that I have received a message and I think it is a battery drainer (not matter how minuscule) I'd like to have some control over this...
With my screen off, it lights up when I receive a message and I would like to disable this function. I already have LED notification turned off...
I hope I was able to communicate my desire
Thanks in advance for your help

Oops, you got a free thanks. The way I dealt with it was to install Handcent and then disable the stock messaging application. But I'm on US Cellular and I'm not sure how much different our phones are. Handcent has MANY more features than the stock application as a perk also.

That is an alternative yes. I would like to keep the stock app though because it's been my experience to have lots of problems with third party messaging apps. For example, I am unable to use MightText while using some third party apps. Sometimes the apps update and have FC closes afterwards.
If you didn't mean to give me a thanks, can't you take it back... I mean if you really wanted too, don't get me wrong, I'll take all the thanks I can get!
I'd also be interested in this..I find it super anoying.
Edit: Gave in and installed Go SMS with a GSIII theme.
here's a solution if anyone is still looking for one

Has anyone else noticed that the notification LED works sometimes and then sometimes it doesn't. My Wife's phone no longer indicates her of any text messages anymore. I have tried power cycling the phone and doing a hard reset (holding power down until it reboots) and nothing seems to fix it. I ran the LED test in the system menu and the light works. I also checked all the settings and everything is properly enabled. My phone indicates me of text messages but one of my e-mail accounts doesn't update me anymore. Any ideas?
Can try to follow this video:

Can you tell if this problem started after you installed and removed a custom led notification app? Many have reported such problems with apps like light flow lite.
I would suggest a reset to factory if the problem persists. Before you do so make sure your data is properly backed up.

All of her settings were properly setup under settings. Also, she has no custom apps for LED installed, nor do I. I noticed on the HTC One M7 forum there is a lot of people complaining about this issue after taking the 4.3 update. That seems to be about the time from from when I first noticed the issue.

Mine works normally but I noticed my notification light is a lot uh... dimmer? after I updated to 4.3. Before 4.3 my notification light used to be incredibly bright and annoying when charging and watching YouTube at night especially when fully charged....that green light was ridiculous lol
