Sorry if this is a noob question but I have only just noticed this and I have had HTC phones for quite a few years and none of them did this.
Also this is my second HOX as my first one had dead pixels and that one did not do this.
Every time I receive a text message the screen lights up and it goes onto the lock screen, is this normal and can it be turned off.
I am on a stock phone, not rooted and latest update 1.28 and no other settings change.
Thanks
Rob
When I get a text it makes a noise and the LED flashes but the screen does not come on.

...thats a feature of my Leedroid tweaks. Dont know if you flashed those.
But you can turn in on and off that feature.

No sorry its an absolutely stock Rom.

Glad I'm not going senile though.

Actually I want my screen to light on when I receive a text message. Is there a way to turn that on on stock rom 1.28?
Mine seems to turn on the screen, AND the music bugs - it plays through the speaker on the phone for a second... Someone said you can turn this feature off? How?
(I'm using the Revolution HD 4.0 ROM)

I think I found it
Mine lights up as well and i use the Productivity LockScreen.When i receive a message the phone lights up,the LED flashes green and the text is displayed on my lockscreen.
My screen turn on with incoming messages too. Using stock messenger app. I think handcent and go SMS allows for the screen to stay off
As I always keep the phone on silent mode therefore my one x only vibrates and the led blinks

Is there a simple download or app to get my trackpad to light up when I get a text/email/voicemail like it does on the Nexus One ?
I dont know how to do these hacks and mods that you geniuses do.
Also be very interested in this.

I got the app and it definitely works.
Its great, get it !
Thanks guys !
Yeah I use Led Me Know too. You can choose if you want the trackpad to blink, or the LED at the top of the phone.
Add [SOLVED] to your thread title please.

I got my Z a couple of weeks ago and my phone seems to do this straight out of the box??
eg - I get a txt and the trackpad light blinks. If I have a missed call the the LED at the top of the phone flashes.
Although, I was going to ask the question to see if I can get the LED to blink when I receive a txt because sometimes you cant always see the track pad flashing depending how the light is hitting the phone (if its laying flat for example).
I will also try the suggested app
Yea.. my G2's trackpad ring just slowly pulses if there's a new notification.
I believe the app causes the led to blink more frequently.

I tried led me know but it didn't do anything, on my rooted phone , any suggestions?
When I test the app, it makes the green led blink, but when the actual whatsapp message or an sms arrives, no blinky light

Yeah I actually though the stock trackpad notification on my phone (DZ) didn't work. But I found it was actually blinking every 10 secs or slow - which is too slow for me to have a quick glance at the phone to see if I've got messages.
Also, I have my phone in a vertical pouch, with the power button at the opening. So with Led Me Know and the LED notification set, I only have to pull the very top bit of the phone out of the pouch to check the LED.

Indeed, make sure it's on. Also, there's a "test" option within the app to let you see what it's going to do when it gets a notification.
If it's still not working, try removing the app and reinstalling it again.
This is the second time on 2 different roms that somehow my phone has been stuck with a black screen and when unlocked the screen stays off. Its a bit hard to explain but pressing power lets the screen to come on for just a second but then it goes off...yet on the black screen you can slide it unlocked (screen stays off) A reboot goes back to the same issue. after many button combos the screen will finally stay lit. The only way I have found to cure it is to uninstall lightflow. (Im really not sure thats what is causing it) If you dont change anything when you lock it your right back into the black screen thing..... Anyone seen this using lightflow or not??
I've had this problem to. I had it when I was using the phone on stock without lightflow, as well as using it with HD revolution and light flow. I have no idea why its doing this though?
I had this problem when I used the app "Wave Launcher". I found the most effective way to keep the screen on is to call the phone, stay in the call, and uninstall the app..

Are you running the 350 mhz idle mod or UVing? Seems like your phone isn't getting enough juice.
I emailed the dev's a few days ago. They came back with the response to uncheck "s6e8aa0 control", which I believe is disabling access to the main screen. I haven't seen the sleep of death since. He also said to look for a future update which removes this option.
Hope that this was a helpful first post!

I have the same problem today! When light flow is active the screen goes on for a second and then stays black.
Sadly I can't find "s6e8aa0 control" in the newest version. Can anyone help?
Got it working. I should use the correct settings^^
But the program is not working how I would like it :/
Heya! I thought i'm gonna ask this before calling service or something. The problem is (yey!) notification led.. I've tried enabling/disabling it from screen settings and from light flow (paid and free versions) and i haven't seen any life from it. Led testers and everything else gives same results.
Someone has another test method for me or am i forced to call for Samsung?
Service company told me to call Samsung (ROFL?)
Hey this may be done already but when you test the notification in lightflow did you turn the screen off?
I know lightflow will only work and show test notifications if the screen is off. Sorry if you did this already but I thought the same when I got my Nexus.

Yea i tried and rebooted phone after installing/uninstalled Lightflow versions and vice versa. Seems like its completely dead
Weird. If your rooted I would unroot and go back to your carrier. They should replace it. Good luck
Easiest way to see if the led works is to look at the phone while it is receiving a call. The LED should be lit solid white while the phone is ringing...

It's not blinking when the screen is on because you can see the notification without it. Try lightflow from play store it might work when the screen is on.

If you think it is a bug, report it in ICJ thread. And try out that lightflow app.

Is it possible to set it so when you receive a new text message the screen turns on? Right now it only vibrates.. any idea? Snapchat seems to turn the screen on, wondering why texts don't trigger it.. thanks.
Not sure why your M9 doesn't do that, just got the missus to text me whilst the screen was off and sure enough it vibrated, played the notification sound and turned on the screen displaying the text in the middle of the screen

"Glimpse Notifications" is your friend:

If you are using LeeDroid or some other ROMs there is an option to turn on screen when receiving an SMS or MMS.
