I haven't fully tested this issue yet mainly because I've only had the phone for a few days... I wanted to check if anyone else had this problem.
Under Settings -> Sound & Display -> Notification Flash
I have all the options ticked.
In theory, whenever I have a missed call or a SMS or email etc, I should be able to tell that I need to check my phone be a little blinking light in the top right corner off the screen. I just came back to my phone and this LED wasn't blinking but when I turned on the phone, there was a missed call and a SMS.
Other times, it seemed to work fine.
Anyone else noticed this problem?
it only flashes for 5 mins and then stops. There is no way to change this without additional apps.

Oh... How disappointing. Pretty useless imo. Thanks for the info. I wonder if they will fix it. My previous phone, Touch Diamond, had something similar but it never stopped flashing until you looked at your missed calls.
Now that explains things. I tend to look for the led after I've not used the phone for a while. In my pocket or elsewhere. Quite a few times I've seen no flashing but have a notification in the top left. I thought it was another one of those little 'features' we keep finding.
Yeh i discovered this awhile back and it's annoying as hell, i just use a app called Missed Reminder which can be configured to allowed it to keep flashing indefinitely
I was just going to make a post about this. I thought the LED notification wasn't working at all on my Desire, since I've never seen it, but perhaps it had just stopped before I had the chance to catch it, then

What apps are you referring to? It would be nice to be able to have the LED flash longer.
I'm guessing this is to save battery time, I don't know how much power a small LED uses but it surely can't help with the already abysmal battery life
I first thought the LED was located behind the optical trackpad, because the trackball on my Hero could light up. I think the LED-notification is pretty dumb since it's almost invisible when it lights up. The lighting trackball was much much better
This is a known issue. I thought that did not happen in Android, but I guess I was wrong.
If the phone work in Windows Mobile, there are a registry key to let assign values to the options, so they are usable.

In Android, I have no clue... maybe my info help in any way.
PMoto
It would be nice to be able to change the flash time from the default 5 minutes, or atleast an option for no time limit.
I know it's to help save battery life, but I'm willing to say that the light flashing will use less battery then the back light coming on everytime I'm away from my phone for more then 5 minutes, from me checking to see if I have new messages, email, or missed phone calls.
Same issue with my recently purchased A40.
No blinking at all despite screen flash notification selected.
Hope someone can help
I seem to be having a problem with the messaging app (the HTC one)
While typing a message, for some reason, the app will scroll upwards slightly (not to the top of the thread, just a bit up so the text box is JUST out of view). I then have to scroll back down to continue typing. Does anyone know why this might be happening, and if I can do anything to stop this?
Thanks
In landscape or portrait?

Only landscape as far as i know. I'm not sure if it happens in portrait since I only ever reply to texts in landscape.
I'm having a similar issue where the phone will start doing things on its own. I'll go to start sending a message and it will scroll and press random buttons.
Has anybody seen anything like this before?
Yup I have the same, strange and quite irritating.
I get this too, don't think it's happened in portrait for me yet, just landscape.
Also, when I'm deleting text it'll sometimes pop up the screen letting me delete messages instead of the text, so I have to go back and reclick the box to carry on again.
I've also noticed that sometimes I'll get like a new text message notification after I've replied to a new text, even though I've obviously read it?
This is quite frustrating after a while, can anyone look into this?
Im having same issue as well.
On top of that my received messages from people are time stamped a couple hours behind. Not sure whats going on here

Does anyone else have a problem with the phone typing in CAPS right after you slide out the keyboard?
Also, anyone know how to tweak it so when i press "enter" it sends the message?
Download sms time fix

I also have this happen to me, and the caps this has happened to me too. I hope this is fixable.
Hey guys,
just to update my findings, it sure seems to me that it's a light-sensor issue. Most of this happens in low or inconsistent light scenarios. In my case it happens specifically under or near one lamp in the early morning.
Can anybody else verify that it's happening in situations like this?
I'm seeing this scrolling issue too. As has been said, it looks like it's due to the program loading up all the previous messages, i.e. when it's finished doing that it then "jumps".

this is also exactly what is happening to me. perhaps a future update or a custom ROM might fix this..can anyone confirm?
I'm still very new to Android. Is the messaging app an HTC thing (my own guess) or a standard Android utility ?
Check this thread, particularly post 22 onwards, for details on how to replace the HTC version of the SMS app with another one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846231
To answer my question above - yes, it looks like the stock version is an HTC app, not an Android one.
Can confirm it's a HTC app. On my old HTC HD2 I used a total clean 2.2 android rom and the app is very different
Got both scroll and CAP problem, sometimes
I have the scrolling problem and also my sms notification does not clear from the notification window shade unless I click on it there. Going directly into the messaging app and reading/replying to the sms leaves the notification there.
I was using ChompSMS but that gave me jip with repeatedly sending the same sms again and again, so i switched to the standard HTC sms app - which has these problems!
had the same problem... handcent doesn't have this problem, and I installed a rom with the stock sms app (villsion) and have had zero issues since!
Yeah, switched to the vanilla messaging app and all is well.
This is more of an ICS question, than a Galaxy Nexus question, as this same behavior occurred on my Nexus S. When I have multiple notifications in my notification bar, when I pull the bar down, they are in one order. But, before I click on them, the rearrange themselves automatically. This only occurs once, but I end up clicking on whatever is now in the place of the notification I was intending to click on.
Does this behavior occur to anyone else? If so, how do I tell Android to not mess around with the order of the notifications?
Hmm... I've never had that happen. They just stay in the order they were received.
Most of my ICS experience is with CM9 (which is currently on my GN right now), so it may have more to do with that rom, than anything else.
This happens to me sometimes.. then I'll immediately go back and click on the other spot but it'll go to it's original order... fooling me yet again lol

Have this happen often on my bone stock Galaxy Nexus.
Same here
Yeah, it didn't used to do this, but it started doing it recently. Not sure what I might have installed or tweaked to cause it though.
I know it's not from a Google Update since I'm still back on 4.0.2 stock.
Same here. It's been happening since 4.0.2 for me. Kinda annoying.
I haven't had this issue on my Nexus, but notifications are ordered by date. Some notifications gets updated. For example, whatsapp updating the number of unread messages and battery percentage/temperature notification.
It might be because one of those notifications got updated a split second before you pressed the notification.
I'm just guessing, but that might be your problem.
I read a little in a post with something similar, but daily I find my notification sounds (txt, gtalk, etc.) all just stop, said something about leaks, but it was late and I may have been dreaming :-?
So, I have tried numerous ROM's, currently running Venum Ice RC3.1.1, but had the same issue with other ICS rom's. I will look down and see a bunch of missed txt's, etc. Reboot the phone, all tone's come right back.
Is this a known issue (I am sure it is), but better question, is there a workaround for this?
Tnx
its a bug in the ics leaks.
known issue, no fix yet
I seem to remember problem arises after call if hit home or back lose notification. Need to let call screen revert to dialer then can hit home and not lose notifications. If you lose just make a call and do the above and will have notications again.

+1 this is currently the only known work around.
Iphone Notification, WP7 Notification apps from Play store used to fix this also. Not sure if either one still works or not though.

I use go dialer and I do not recall ever having this problem.
When I receive a SMS, the phone wakes up.
Having a hard time finding the setting to turn it off...any insight?
bump for this - I don't see why the screen needs to come on every time a sms message comes in. I haven't seen this happen with email(exchange), gmail, GTalk, etc... so annoying to waste battery for no reason with the LED indicator enabled.
I've looked and looked and don't really see anyone complaining about this, which I find really strange.

bump - seriously no one cares about this wasting battery for no reason?
No one has found an answer? Just got the AT&T version and I do about 20,000 texts a month, so this is very annoying and wastes battery, ESPECIALLY since it has a notification LED.
I got so tired of it, that I just switched over to handcent.

Just called Samsung and he searched and put me on hold for a while and came back saying there is no way to change this. He recommended downloading a 3rd party texting app or seeing if there is an app that will do this :/
here is a fix from the Sprint GS3

Just tried to flash, didn't see any changes in the Messages settings. Not the screen toggle or mms server issue

It was annoying me as well, the only fix I found without switching to another app is to go to Settings in the messaging app and make sure everything is unchecked under Notifications. If you do this, you will no longer see new text messages in the notification bar, but if you want you can use Nova launcher premium that has an add on called Tesla unread plug in (it adds a number to a messaging shortcut when new sms arrives).
Hope this helps.
