I was wondering if anyone had news on what's going on with wp7 notifications.. Getting tired of never seeing if I get a txt unless I unlock the phone etc..

Not sure what the issue you having. Is your phone not ringing or is it not showing a notification on the lock screen? It should be showing a notification on the lock screen. If not three an issue.

I think he's referring to the fact that there is no 'constant' notification, like a blackberry Notification LED ect.
So yes, its still the same. Your text will show and disappear quickly and you need to hit the power button to see your notification icons.

So I picked up a G2 to replace my Iphone 2G, which I've had since the thing came out some four years ago. I've gotten used to my screen lighting up and showing me new text messages on the lock screen, and this feature doesn't exist as far as I can tell on the G2. When I receive a text, it vibrates and plays my notification sound, and the touchpad light blinks periodically. What I would prefer, if the phone is sitting next to me on my desk, would be for it to light up and show me the text and who sent it like the Iphone does so I don't have to unlock the phone and open the messaging app just to see if it's important.
I bought widget locker so I could customize my lock screen a bit, so I suppose if there were a widget for that, I could just toss it on there? Does anyone know of this type of widget? How would I have it turn on the screen for a few seconds when I receive a text? Is this even possible?
Otherwise, I love this phone. Android does so many amazing things. It's like having a computer in my pocket!

Is there an app that can display notifications and turn on the backlight when a SMS or Email comes in - When the phone is locked?
Every time a message comes in, I have to press the power button, put in my passcode, and go to the message just to see what it is.
It would be nice to get a Pop-up on the screen with most of the info
For previous Samsungs, there was an app called NoLED, which would light up the screen for notifications. You can see how that is developing for the Nexus.

NoLed works. I use it and light flow together. I never miss a notification now

You may want to try smspopup. It displays a popup when you receive a text message..
However, I'm not sure if it will display over the lock screen when you have a passcode enabled. However, it has a ton of options for managing the popup when locked, so you may want to check it out.

Does NoLed need root? :>
I did a little digging around and found NotifierPro to work best for me.
I'm loving my Galaxy Nexus. Stock 4.0.2, not even rooted!
I was hoping XDA could help with a few minor ICS problems I'm experiencing:
1. What's with the Phone Application theme not matching the People app?
2. How do I activate the screen when I receive SMS or have an Calendar appointment reminder? I love (!!) the Notification LED and with Light Flow but sometimes it can be annoying not seeing the real pop up on the screen. (I'm using a 4 digit pin code, if that helps).
3. How do I stop the unlock button hanging up on an incoming call? I find this happens A LOT to me and really annoys me off. I don't know if this is expected behaviour but the unlock bottom silences the ring tone and blacks he screen. Pressing it again to bring on the screen, and the call is gone.
PS. Google. Please hurry up with the high resolution GMail Contacts =)

1.) This is just how it was designed. You'll have to install a theme in order for the people app to match the phone app (i.e. black + ics blue color).
2.) Not sure about calendar popups, but you can install SMSPopup and it will integrate with the internal messaging app to show a Popup whenever you receive a text message.
3.) Could you be more specific?
Okay so, you can pretty much fix all of this with rooting.
#1 you can install a custom theme, like said above.
#2 You can choose what happens when you get a notification. Any notification, mind you. Not just SMS.
#3 With my AOKP ROM I have the option to choose what the lock button does during a call.
Hopefully this helped.

1. They do match - halo dark and halo light. Go look up android development if you have no idea what I'm talking about.
The rest has being solved by replies before me.
#3. Not sure if this helps, but I have had this happen when I had tasker set up wrong. If you're running tasker, look at all your profiles relating to calls or phone idle.

1. They are meant to be separate apps, hence they have different Holo themes.
2. I've always looked at this as a feature, but oh well, do what the other say and install an app.
3. This happened on my Nexus S, but I haven't noticed it on the Galaxy Nexus yet, locking and unlocking usually works.

1. Thanks. I didn't realize this was as designed.
2. I used to like it, but because it's my work/daily phone I need to be immediately . I just want it as it is right now, but a popup for SMS and Calendar reminders.
3. Thanks, I've tried the settings suggested in this thread and will everyone know.
For high res contact pics, edit the contact on your gnex and attach a new pic. Works fine and looks beautiful. I find that cropping the pic at the top of the head to just below the shoulder looks the best.

Hi guys, few days ago I was using my Galaxy Nexus when a strange white dot came out on the left side of the notification bar. It appears and disappears with apparently no reason and, if you try to open the notification menù while it shows it, there are absolutely no notifications related to this strange symbol.
When you close the notification menù, it reappears and then goes away without any interaction.
Today I discovered that I can reproduce this kind of "notification" by opening the Clock app and then touching twice the screen to reduce the backlight and to raise it back.
Anyone knows what's that?
Here's a screenshot:
That is a Google Now Card Notification, just pull down your Notification Bar, and swipe it away, it'll get rid of the dot.

I never noticed that. That dot looks VERY faint. My Google now notifications look different IIRC.

Thanks for answering but that's not related to Google now and when I pull down the notification menu there's nothing showing.
Any other ideas?
Run addon detector from the market. I think you downloaded an app with push notifications.

Well that is odd then. Puzzling. Every time that dot appears for me, it is due to the fact that I have a Google Now notification. Try a Task Manager to see what app is open, and when you close it, see if the dot continues to appear.

Thanks for the smart suggestions. I'll try both the solutions and reply! :good:

I just saw this same exact dot today. I was watching a full-screen video with an embedded YouTube link. The 3 soft buttons went into "discreet" mode and turned into 3 pale dots. All the notifications on the notification bars all turn into a single pale dot like this as well.

Did anyone ever figure out what this was?
I had this show up on a Nexus 7, playing a YouTube video in full screen made it go away so I'm guessing as stated above it has something to do with video controls hiding or something.
Is it related to SIP VoIP accounts? IIRC that's about what it looks like when connected, except green. Did you try to set something up there and it's showing that faint white dot to show it's not connected?
Mine is a blue dot and I recently found out what it was hehe
Same here, on my Nexus4. I can make it pop up at any time by tapping on any picture to hide notification bar and buttons and then tapping again to show them back (in my case it works every time i hide and show buttons, no matter which app im using - gallery, video player, youtube, etc). That white dot then pops up. Sometimes it stays for only a fraction of a second, sometimes for half a minute, and then just disappear, whether i open the notification bar or not. My guess it's just some weird FW flaw (besides, this dot looks just like these white dots indicating hidden buttons).
Any news? I have it using different roms, I assume it is something app related...
Eureka !!!
Had this dot with the fading lines. Noticed the dot disappeared right when I updated an installed app on Play Store (first it was replaced by the downloading arrow and then disappeared completely)
If you have this dot, check for apps' updates. You probably have at least one...
*Noticed it's a two years old thread just after posting... sorry
Confirmed for me

some apps you guys are opening have GPS related features, such as the photo apps ability to give you the location in which the picture was taken. When the dot appears for me, I turn off location (GPS) and it disappears every time. Hope my experience helps someone! If anyone still needs it :highfive:

I haven't seen this in a little while but I thought it was related to google now weather (they've since updated that icon to be clouds and whatnot)
I can also see this small white transparent dot on the top left corner of notification area it appears on my phone mostly when I check my whatsapp shared media images from whatsapp, I just attached a screen shot here,no idea which application responsible for this dot :silly:
For me it was the "Ok google" setup that i started, then interrupted. Once i went back into the "Ok google" detection setup under "Voice" and finished setting it up, the notification disappeared.
Having a weird issue with missed call notifications on the G3 - they simply will not go away unless I call the person back. I have tried swiping them away, rebooting the phone, and a few other things - they are like the living dead, just keep coming back and littering the lock screen and notification bar. Any suggestions?
Stop ignoring people and answerrbthr phone?
