Trackpad notifications ?

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.

LED me know is the answer you are looking for

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

I know this is a silly question but do you have it enabled?

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.

Screen on issues using Lightflow?

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 :/

[Q] Does Your Screen Turn On When You Receive a Text?

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.

But you can turn in on and off that feature.

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

[Q] galaxy note 2 on tmobile sgh-t889 screen turn off during call and stay off

I just got my note 2 on ebay, phone looks new , came with all the plastic attached and all.
Works good too. But. When I am on the call the screen turns off, which is ok, but it should turn on if I take the phone from my ear, and if I press power button. It dose not do that. The screen stays off untill the other party hang up. Any know issues like that, any fixes?

Root it and load another rom and see if it still does it.

Rooting is not a solution. I like stock rom , at least for now.
I wish to keep it @Stock if possible. Unless rooting is the only way to fix it

Not sure if you have already done this but you can try rebooting the phone? It may be a one off issue.

NT

an update FYI
Restart did not solve the issue, but I have found the setting to disable screen off during call so this will do for now

Omg I have the SAME EXACT PROBLEM and it annoys me SO MUCH. Sometimes I place a phone call and the other party goes to voicemail and i CANT hang up because my screen DOESN'T turn back on at all while its recording minutes of voicemail until I pull the battery. I have disabled the screen off thing and i usually just press the power button when i'm placing a call so the screen shuts off and i can actually turn it back on. One trick i learned is try to place the phone call without your face next to the phone right away. Wait until it starts dialing and/or someone picks up. Another "fix" to the problem is dialing and pressing speakerphone which I think worked for me.
I think it is a problem with the proximity sensor but I'm not sure. When the problem happens to me I always notice the proximity sensor is lit up red if you look closely, and I have tried pressing all button combinations but nothing has fixed the problem

Same issue here. If I move phone away from my ear during call screen is still off. Most of the time it's fixable by just covering the sensors with your thumb for 2 seconds and then the screen will show back up. Hope I helped

I got my phone couple of weeks ago and everyhing was ok until last night when my phone did same thing you all describe. It is brand new note 2 purchased from Tmobile with untouched stock rom.
What happened? And how do you deactivate screen off when holding phone at your ear?

Are your motion settings enabled?

I am curious, why u guys didn't contact Samsung and ask them about the problem. Plus, I noticed all of you guys have brand new phones so it is still under manufacture warranty. Also, the good thing is all of you have stock ROM and your flash counter is 0. So just contact them and send it to them. Most probably you will get another brand new phone from Samsung it self :victory:

Did disabling the auto screen off solve the problem?

I have the exact same problem here. With all these months, one has to wonder why there's no real fix for this.
But could you please clarify your post a bit for me as something isn't clear. to me.
I read that you turned off the auto screen off (proximity sensor off) option. What's not clear to me, is did that in fact work, to where the screen just stays on without going out at all? Or does it still go out?
I've disabled mine, but I don't use the phone much, so it will take a while to figure out if this worked or not.
Thanks in advance.

Mine doesn't work either. I'm on custom rom. In the call my screen just blacks out. I installed some sensor apps and literally my proximity sensor don't work unless there are a crap ton of light shining on it.

My proximity / light sensor seems to work properly but also sometimes seems to stick. I just do this
1) Open the phone dialer
2) Hit menu and select 'call settings'
3) Uncheck "auto screen off during calls"
I know it doesnt technically fix the sensor issue but now you should be able to use the power button to turn the screen off / on during calls. Works for me anyway. Hope that helps!

Ouch. Ive never used aokp. I could definitely see how it could be a pain. If your sensor is acting up, sadly, you might have to swap to another rom. Jedi series are nice and do have the ability to disable the screen off on call feature.

I fixed mine!! i had same issue with my Galaxy note 2. I blew the top earpiece grill a few times and Voila, it works great now.

Ok I guess an updat is in order.
Since my posting. I have been running ok, with no issues what so ever. With the incall auto off sceen set to off my phone is working well. The screen do go off based on the power saving rules (one minute) but I cba get it back up with power button. So all is working. The prox. Sensor works for all other apps I think.

Hey guys, I had the same issue with my new note 2. I used some canned air on my top ear piece and the issue seemed to be resolved!
Thank you.

I had the problem with Jedi x20
then I went to stock and had the same problem randomly but not always... Dunno why!

Is it possible for the screen to turn on when you get a text?

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

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