Hey,
Theres a thread about this, but I cant find it, even searched for it, so here it comes again:
When I make a phone call, the screen flashes on and off (lights on the keys aswell go on and off) - This is annoying because the screen doesnt respond when its off, and just flashes on and off until your about half a minute into the call.
This means touchtone services and ending short calls may be a pain sometimes.
Any solution?
Thanks
The screen will go black when up against you and then back to normal when moved away, it has a light sensorbuilt in.
Morning,
Is anyone else finding their Notification LED for text messages (Possibly E-Mail's too) is flashing for 2-3 Minutes then stopping? Missed several texts now because of this and its annoying me that I have to keep unlocking my phone to check for texts.
Is there an option I have missed? Do I have a dodgy Phone? or is that just the way it is?
KYI
I think mine does this too, that's why I was asking for a Wake on Notification app. Can we change LED from green or orange via software?

'Missed call' for the Market lets you (IIRC) change LED colour Whether is is fully operational on Desire, I'm not sure. Don't think you need root access either.
It's only flashes for about 2-3 mins then goes off - if you've not noticed by then I assume it thinks it'll save power...
makes sense to me to be honest. for example if u miss a text on the iphone, it will only chime once more. i wouldnt want mine staying on.
I Suppose I just miss it for the G1 days. My Phone is on silent all day at work and the continious LED was a bonus for notifications. Surely an single LED doesn't draw that much power? Might have to give Missed call a try again.
nah the desire seems to use different code to light up the notification LED so none of the LED apps on the market work anymore. like LEDtester, the LED just flashes green and cant be changed. and handcent, it just flashes green and cant be changed.

have it on vibrate instead - or just check the screen every now and then...
I did post about this earlier but got zero replies so I wondered if it was only me.
Mine blinks for I think it's exactly 5mins. That's it. And I don't think it has anything to do with saving battery since that one blinkiing LED (mostly blinking when then screen is off) does not take much power at all.
I've emailed HTC to see what they say.
Although not ideal, handcent does allow you to set notification reminders.
I have mine set to re-vibrate 15 mins after receiving a text if I haven't checked it. You can change all the options, so have it chime, vibrate, wake scree, flash LED, all of above, one of above etc. at different intervals and a number of times - I find once vibrating only to be a sufficient reminder if it's in my pocket, however if on a desk would probably have the screen re-awaken.
Might help.

Hello,
I just got a touch pro2 lastweek and I am beating my head trying to figure out what the deal is with the status notification LEDs
I see one to the LEFT of the earpiece/speaker that flashes green every few seconds and then just stops - all the flashing stops. I'm thinking the bliking stops when the phone goes to sleep. So i press the power to wake the phone - but the flashing doesn't come back. I was thinking this is the network/signal indicator but doesn't seem that way.
I see another that's to the RIGHT of the earpiece/speaker that doesn't go on at all.
So no way to tell if the phone is on wifi network or if bluetooth is on (without obviously waking the phone up and checking on screen). I'm looking for a way to see status without touching the phone - like my old HTC TyTn (rest in peace!)
It turns red when you charge you're phone.
It turns green when you are fully charged (with the charger still in)
It blinks green when you have a new message/e-mail/missed call.
It blinks red when you're batterie is almost empty.
That are the basics
thanks! that's about what i seemed to have gathered too... what about that fake light like thing to the right of speaker? never lights up?
and no bluetooth/wan notification ten, right?

thats the light sensor for the screen
adjusts brightness depending on how much light is hitting the phone
Below is a description of the LED lights straight from the manual that came with my Tilt2.
* The Notification LED shows a:
Flashing green light when there are new SMS, MMS or email messages, missed calls, or reminders.
Solid green light when the device is connected to the power adapter or a computer and the battery is fully charged.
Solid amber light when the battery is being charged.
Flashing amber light when the remaining battery level reaches below 10%.

That's pretty much exactly it. There is a program floating around that allows you to change the light and customize the reason it flashes, but I think it's just fine the way it is .
it also flashed green then the red light really quick when its overheating :O
thanks for the quick replies folks.
I saw that in the manual too - but i never go by the manuals! i can't count how many times my manuals have been wrong about a particular function.
it's a disappointment since the older Tytn was much more friendly about the notifications. but i'll deal with it.
as far as that being a light sensor - i think it makes sense. I'll try trick it to see what I notice. Then I'm guessing it's the proximity sensor that's around the HTC logo? I think I was in the sun when I saw it but there's some sort of sensor around there. I figured that's the light sensor. perhaps not.
Thanks again!
I have a problem where if I have my phone plugged in to the charger, after I get a text message my lock screen stays lit up. Is there a way to make it go back off?
It's not rooted and still has the stock T-Mobile ROM.
I kind of think they screwed my phone up at the T-Mobile store when they transferred all my pictures and stuff from my old phone.
I noticed on my Verizon G3 the other night that after the battery reaches 100% that the phone then continues to notify you with a vibration and a tone about every 10 seconds.. very annoying. Clearing the notification does not make it go away.. the only thing you can do is unplug. This is very annoying especially if you're like me and leave your phone charging all night long. It also turns the screen on for a few seconds every time the notification goes off.
I checked my wife's Sprint model and noticed she doesn't have this problem. Anyone else notice this and what model do you have? ...and have you found a solution?
For now I've been keeping my phone in a drawer so it doesn't wake me but Im thinking about putting it on an outlet with a timer.. Im assuming because this is not an AMOLED screen that we do not have to worry about screen burn in? or do we?
I've submitted a request to @P_Toti to hopefully get a mod to disable this using the G3 TweaksBox app.
My T-Mobile D851 does the same crap. So annoying.
Weird. My T-Mobile version doesn't do that.
That is strange.
If it helps.. I'm completely stock except for root and Xposed used to change the battery icon, alarm icon removed and I'm using a custom nav bar theme (Android L softkeys)
I'm completely stock.
Does it still do,it if the phone is on silent?
You can download Light Manager and turn it off.
Does it quiet mode, yes.

Light Manager is for the notification light. Whats happening is the phone vibrates, makes a tone, and turns the screen on every 10 seconds or so.
I noticed last night that it does eventually stop notifying after a while.. I think. I plugged in around 11pm.. some time around 4am it woke me up, I continued to monitor the notification trigger every ~10 seconds for about an hour.. I finally put it in the drawer so I can get some sleep.. when I woke up around 9am I noticed it was no longer notifying me every ~10 seconds that the battery was charged. So I'm not sure what's going on. I have my Verizon model and my wife's Sprint model (which doesn't have this problem) both using the same type of usb cable, charger and wall outlet so I know its not a low power issue coming from the charger.

My guess for the multiple notifications - it charges to full, vibrates and beeps to let you know the battery is full, which lowers the battery just a tad...and it recharges 10 seconds later, once again vibrating and beeping, which again lowers the battery...lather, rinse, repeat.
My G3 does it as well - irritating as hell. Even in silent mode it briefly turns on the screen when it reaches fully charged. I woke up last night to find my G3 turning on and off in a 2-second loop. The screen was like a slow-motion strobe light.
I hope someone finds a way to turn off the stupid battery charged notifications...
Mine does this too. Woke me up last night. I'd like to know how to make it stop besides throwing it on silent and turning it upside down.
So I just noticed last night that putting the phone on quite mode or silent works.. not sure why I didnt try that before.. guess it was because someone mentioned earlier that it didnt work for them. So thats my solution for now.. still would like to see some kind of Xposed mod for this.
Putting on silent isn't a good solution. What if there is a family emergency, etc. Some people are on call and cant do this either. I really cant believe LG implemented this without the option to disable it.
Would be great to identify what service is controlling that and maybe removing or blocking it under root mode.

Not silent but quite mode..it allows you to toggle on/off for notifications, calls and notification light. You can also set a white list for allowed contacts in case of emergency.
I rooted and found [ /system/media/audio/FullBattery.ogg ] and renamed this audio file. It'll still vibrate, but no sound now. When you long press the notification, it says its part of "System UI" so it looks like its not easily removable.
Well, that didn't work either.
This appears to be the only solution:
* root
* side load Xposed -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-installer-versions-changelog-t2714053
* grab "G3 TweakBox" Xposed module from Play Store and check "Hide Battery Full Notification"

Already have this installed and selected when it started doing it... did a reboot and it seems to have resolved it for now, but I am wondering what caused it to start doing that...

This partially works. I don't get the notification or the sound, but it still vibrates. I'm going to play around more with this later this week when I have time.
Same issue
Same issue occurs for me, so I just wake up and unplug the phone when I get that message. Very annoying though, to not wake up with a full battery.
This is so annoying, can't believe LG didn't include an option to turn this off. So many of us leave our phones on the charger overnight - so we end up with frequent beeps and vibrations as it charges to 100%, then partially discharges and charges again a few minutes later
Silent mode or quiet mode isn't an option as I need to be able to receive calls for work - I can't whitelist every number that might call me
