Hey, i was just wonder if this is normal or not but about 5 minutes after receiving a SMS the LED will stop flashing even though i have not turned the screen on yet to check it
is this meant to happen and if so is there a way in which i can change it to continue flashing any amount of time until i check my phone?
Thanks.
I think with the Handcent SMS app you can set 'reminders' to every 5 mins. So it should continually flash till you check it then.
I've not actually tried this but the theory is there!
thanks for the quick reply, but i was hoping there was a way with the default messaging program
Annoyingly, I don't think there is. I'd recommend having a look at Handcent though, it's a cool app.
that's rather annoying, but o well i guess, other then this I've been loving the phone
Try Missed Reminder from the market. Works good on my device.
I asked HTC about this, and it is is true, the LED flashes for 5mins then stops.
I didn't like the Handcent reminder simply because when it restarts the notification, it makes the sound like it's got another message. I just wanted to know I've got something to check rather than hear it go off every 5mins or whatever you set it to.
But this is a personal annoyance. I can see that many wouldn't mind this.
Missed Reminder was another option to definitely try to see if it's for you.
Thanks for the replies guys, I'll give Missed Reminder ago, seems odd that they wouldn't allow for a option to let it flash for longer, is this only for SMS or does it also stop after 5 mins for all LED notifications?
all notifications stop after 5mins. What's the point in having the led?

Yeah..5mins for sms/missed call...constantly if your battery is low
Are you guys sure that the LED stops blinking after 5 mins? In hTC's there is an option in settings (I forgot where exactly) which will allow you to set different times, 5,10,15 mins and even there is an option for continuous blinking. So please recheck the settings (in sound & notifications maybe) and then confirm it.
Thanks.

That was the case for Windows mobile phones. there is no option in android to set this.

That is so weird. Isn't there any solution for this?
The Missed Reminder app does the job. You can customise it quite a bit. I just set all notifications to blink the LED forever.

Tried this app, but doesnt work correctly. Sure it will continue to blink the LED, but the notification sounds do not work correctly - i.e they dont sound on reapeat alarms. Shame as it looked a nice app.
Message from developer
I have no plans yet to release a special version for 2.x at least not until I’ve got my phone updated to 2.1.
I got my desire hd 4 days back. And for past three days im receiving a pop up notification. With unreadable text(symbols , alpha and numbers mixed). It is appearing for almost every 5 seconds. the phone is almost unusable. And it gives me 2 buttons, cancel and save, when i click save, it goes to the inbox, and the sender is 4122 , and if i click cancel it goes off. so after an hour if i switch the screen on.. i will see some 30 pop ups, i have to click cancel 30 times.. so please help me to solve this.
I live in india and im using vodafone

Did you face the same problem? or just a guess?
This issue has been previously reported.
IIRC it happened only on Orange branded phones.

Im using HTC wildfire and even im receiving same text messages from 4122. Please let me know if the prob is resolved and how did u manage to get rid of the messages. Thanks in advance
Hi.. I am also facing the same issue.. receiving unreadable message from 4122. Can you please tell me what to do to get rid of it ? Thanks in advance.
i think it´s from your provider&flash a custom rom like CM7 and the problem is solved i guess.
i did an task 29 on my phone, flashed the 4.49.25.17 radio (also tried different radio's, did not make any difference), and then flashed the latest simplicity rom.
as the the title says, my friends are complaining about getting random old messages i already had send them before.
for exaplme: this morning my girlfriend said: how can it rain there its the sky is clear here.. i asked wtf? i never said its raining here, so then she said i sended that to her
then i looked into my sent items, i saw nothing but i can remember sending 4 days ago something like that, so what my phone did was resend an message from 4 days ago.
and this happend with every other rom so far.
I can't re-create the problem because i dont know what i causing it.. and its also just random messages.
I do know that, people only get resended messages i have send to them before, so for example, my girlfriend does not recieve any old messages i have sended to someone else.
But as you can all guess, this is kinda anyoing and i was wondering if any one else is having this problem?
btw. i tried running frx06 with success and i dont have the text message problem on there, so i can assume its an problem in windows mobile?
bump? its really anyoing lolz
I've had this problem b4 when switching between WM and android????????
I wish that I could help more but I don't know of a fix Sorry
Try checking your outbox/sent items and delete the message or resotre to factory defaults to fix the problem.
Had the same problem before.

nope, its not fixed, my friend got yesterday 2 old messages again..
btw. it happend while i was writing an text, and i pressed the "FN" button to get the "<" symbol (i was making an heart lol)
but when i pressed the FN button, the symbol screen did not popped up but instead the message list (in threading) scrolled up a couple messages.. right after that she said that she got some old messages from me..
is this maybe the cause for it? the not correct loading of the symbol screen that causes message resending..
it btw. happend before that the symbol screen would not load (never made an problem of it) but now come to think of it, i think those times they also complained about getting old messages.
This "second" problem of the not loading of the symbol screen happens randomly, when it fails to load i just exit the message screen and open up the message screen again and then the symbol screen just loads fine.
(sorry for my bad language, its not native =] )
hope this clears some things up..
Hmmm, never had this happen to me before, except the old messages part. I would wipe the system to start fresh, that should work. Backup anything you need.
I also have a problem with the FN button, it shows up but when I choose a character, it doesn't appear in the text screen.
That's why I perfer android on this phone lol.

i already did an wipe >.< doesnt fix anything
and for android, yeah i used it but the battery is empty way to fast + the camera is not working for me because i have an AUO panel >.< and it seems like viruscrazy is not having time to fix this
Ah, wait I think there's an option in the messaging app in winmo saying clear sms/account or something like. But try that ?
Battery life is good for me 7 hours full use, try wistilt 2 kernel. My camera works but rarely use it.

Whenever I receive a text, it never notifies me, only when I light up my screen. Anyone else has this problem?
Also the screen doesn't light up.

Yes bro..i had the same problem with my One x...it was alrite in the beginning but then it started to act like this...After a lot of research i found absolutely nothing ...did a factory reset as well...but then i stumbled upon an app in the play store called SMSAwake....get it..what it basically does is it will over come the bug that is causing for the sms to come up only on lighting up the screen...with this app the screen will light up as well and u will get ur msgs on time ....unlike when u'd have to manually wake ur phone up to check for texts.... hope it helps:angel:
Received the M8 a few days ago and the LED works OK as it lights up on charging...BUT that's it no missed call or Email SMS etc.
Looking around various forums it looks like there are some issues probably software related as people have exchanged phones and still had the issue.
My question to you on the International version is anyone having these issues and if so has anyone found a fix.
Thank you

I had the same issue; so I factory reset the phone. But this time around, I didn't restore any backup and started fresh. Seems to be working so far (and it's been 2 days).

Thank you I will try that when time is permitting...most frustrating though on a new phone and cannot see any apps that were restored from Google that may have been in conflict.
I'm going through the same problem...

Can confirm this method works but should'nt have had to factory reset. I'm now resetting up all my phone . .just hope it doesnt happen again.
Must be back from google bug somewhere that messes up the LED's from working ?? But dont really understand how it would . .
I had the same problem. I read on another forum that if you install another launcher the led stops working for notifications. When I first setup my phone restored apps and one of them happened to be a launcher. I did factory reset did not restore any apps and notifications led started working again. I'm not sure if another launcher had anything to do with it but the fix worked for me.
For me the notification LED works from day one, did not had a problem, i did restore my apps from backup but i never used any other launcher so i cannot confirm that is the problem. But i believe it must be app related as its working for some and not for others, usually hard reset without restoring app brings it back. Strange...
When I was migrating my note 2 to m8 must have copied a new launcher . I have factory reset and installed backups manually all is good now

This may or may not be related, but is there any way to keep the LED light flashing when you have a notification and not have it turn off after five minutes?

Everything I found says that there is no setting on the phone to change that. It may require a developer to patch it or give us some instructions on how to extend the time.
I'm also having the same problem with the LED notification. I really don't want to do a factory reset so i'm still hoping that there is a solution to this. The LED lights up during charging but does not light up at all for text message or email or other notifications. I'm using nova launcher so some are saying that it is because of these third party launchers that is the cause but i'm still wondering how can that really effect the LED. I hope somebody can really enlighten us on this.
I had this issue but only for missed calls. Other missed things would still notify. I did a factory reset and still have the same problem without doing any backups!!
I have the same Issue but I really don't want to reset the phone.
Still hoping for another fix....

I had the same problem on the day I picked it up. Read about the factory reset and as it was my first day with it decided to go for it.
That did indeed fix it and the led started working as it should..... Today however, they have stopped again. I haven't installed any other apps and a power cycle doesn't help.
Don't want to reset it again so am hoping they fix this soon.
Any news on this? Really missing led notification

I installed Light Manager and i seem to be getting lights, however im getting random notifications with a vibrate and light when there is in fact no notification.
Mine seem to come and go, they worked after the factory reset for a bit I then noticed that they had stopped .
Now they are working again.... Seems very strange.

I dont get any green light notifications while my phone is charging, i would at least expect the screen to come on.
Notification LED only works if your screen is off. The LED for charging will illuminate no matter if screen is off or on
