Folks, forgive me if this subject has already been addressed. I did run a search and found nothing relevant using "navigation" as my search criteria so here goes...
I used to own a t mobile mda compact and as I recall the nav button (circle) used to flash on a circular motion to give an indication of some sort of alert be it a missed call or a text message for example. Has this feature been overlooked on the Vario IV, touchpro or is there something I need to do in order to enable this useful feature?
If I am honest my patience is beginning to wear thin with this device and its growing list of flaws/missing features which have been left to talented guys on these forums to sort out. Surely T mobile has had plenty enough time iron out these things before this phones release.. (we waited long enough for the thing after all)
My TP does this with the stock rom, no tweak or setting were needed.
Same here.

Apparently you can turn the LED on or off doe missed calls and messages and things like that according to the posts below mine.
There is no way to turn the feature when charging. So if your navigation light does not work when the phone is charging. Then i would say try a hard reset (make sure you backup) and if that does not work then you might have to send your device for warranty or exchange it whatever your options are.
On my Vario IV the settings for flashing the light (around the touch circle thingummy - I really need to read up on what it's called) were disabled by default.
So, under settings/personal/sounds & notifications, check that in the notifications tab that "flash light" is checked for e-mail, text, whatever. Actually, just checked mine after a hard reset and had to re-enable

Actually there is a way to turn on/off the feature for different events (except charging).
Try Start > Settings > Personal > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications
When you choose something like New Text Message, you see an option to "Flash light". Check the box and choose how long you want the nav light to flash.
EDIT: Never mind...forgot to post it and it's a little late.
Thanks guys for your suggestions.. I'll try some of this stuff out and get back to you as to whether any of it worked for me.
Disabled Option
I saw this thread and thought that I'd like this too. I have a stock Sprint TP Rom. I checked out my notification settings and the Flash Light option is there for everything but Incoming Call. However, it's greyed out and won't let me check it. Is there a reason this would be disabled?

It probably becouse on incoming call the whole divice is waked up and the send key is blinking.
There is also settings>sounds and notifications>notifications "phone:missed calls". There you can set an action: popup, blinking and vibration.
hope this helps (names of the options translated from polish TP stock ROM so mey not be acurate )
BHole
Thanks folks..!!
Seems like I totally missed those options for the flashlight alerts. They all work for me now. I have combined them with various ringtones to differentiate the alerts i'm getting. It appears the flashlight indicates alerts even when the device is being charged. Thanks again guys, at least "SOMETHING" now works as expected.
I tried asking this in the big question thread, but since no one reads that one I'll ask it here.
When I recive text messages the vibrator goes of and stays on for like 10 sec. That is fine for phone calls, but om SMS I'd like a short burst instead.
I see no reson to waste battery time having the phone vibrate for so long.
In the setting I only find the option to enable or disable the vibrator.
I have also looked for some 3rd party software, but I have only found software where I can make the phone vibrate when touching the touch screen.
Same
I have the same issue. It was not a problem in Windows 6.1, so I'm guessing it's just something we have to deal with for now? From what I remember, the extended vibrate is only when the screen is locked... and currently it seems that the new Windows lock has been giving a lot of problems.
Is this the case for you?
I have searched to find this, but could not find anything...
I am interested in some way to get a auditory alert every few minutes if there is a unheard text message. (I have a verizon touch pro2). I know there is a light, but that requires looking at the phone. I can not find anything on the phone for a post text alert, is there an app?
thanks
I have been having an issue with recieving any sound notifications indicating that my SMS messages have been sent. All of my other sound notifications work fine though. I brought the handset back to Sprint in order to let a "technician" look at it. His claim was that since there is no option in my sound settings for sent SMS & only MMS, that it must have obviously been an oversight with the HTC creators. (yea right)
My HTC Touch Pro 1 was able to emit a sound notification to indicate that a text message had been sent, so I refuse to believe that this is just a mere mistake by the programmers. Is there a program out there that can correct this issue?
Also, the Touch pro 1 had more character options to choose from than the Touch pro 2 while in the symbol portion of full qwerty mode. Is there a way to increase my symbol options? Thanks in advance!!!

Could it be that I'm the only person with this particular issue?
OMG 7³
Same Issue
Hi I have the same issue after upgrading to win 6.5. I had 6.1 before and I had the message sent notification. I've been searching and all I see are archives on how to disable it...I'm soo used to the Notification and I actually like it..htc says theres no text notification for the 6.5 version..Ugh
I have the same probelm - but I'm sure it worked initially with WM6.5... I've installed AdvancedConfig, but no option there either.
Can no-one help?
I can't believe I'm the only one who hates this, but since I can't find an answer and since no one is responding to my other post, I'm wondering if I am the only person who is experiencing this problem... Please answer this for me.
When you place a call using the stock Samsung dialer, do you see your friend's facebook status pop up, only for a couple seconds? Mine shows the status while the call is connecting, but just for a second or two. Then it disappears from the screen when the call connects.
Its a very handy feature to see the person's status but VERY annoying that it doesn't display long enough to read it! There has to be a way to change this.
