Visual notifier for TP? - Touch Pro, Fuze General

Is there a visual notifier for the touch pro like there was with the Mogul where the light blinks a color when a msg or a email is received?

There is a white led behind the D pad and when you miss a call or receive a text message, the LED flashes in a circular pattern around the circular D-pad.

fantastic. anyway to modify its rate?

Is it just the Touch Diamond that has an LED on the side of the earpiece or am I just making this up?
EDIT: Or is it not even an LED and I assumed it was?

yeah is that an LED?? What is that thing?

*phew* I'm glad I'm not the only one that assumed that.

it's the light sensor for the auto-dimming screen.

message waiting indicator light?

So does the Fuze have a message waiting indicator light that flashes like a blackberry does when you get a new email or text message?
I just sent my self an email from my PC and the phone does not beep, flash or anything. I am using S2U2 if that makes a difference (slide to unlock like an iPhone).

Its in the DPad
The D-Pad is not lighting up on new emails, do I need to turn that on? If I send a text message to this phone while S2U2 has it locked, the screen lights up for a second and then goes blank. D-Pad still does not light up, could it be a problem with the S2U2 application not activating it?
Go to settings - Sounds and Notifications - Notifications and make sure 'flash light for __" is checked
I disabled S2U2 and sent a few more emails to my BB account and no D-Pad lighting up.
Also did an SMS text test, no D-pad lighting up.
On a missed call, it DOES light up.
Is there a setting in the phone to enable this for new emails and new text messages?

Pinch to Zoom Homescreen/LED Ringers

I'm wondering if there will ever be Pinch to zoom on the homescreen like the Desire Roms have and also i'm running Cyanogen 5.0.5 and i use ringo pro which has customized LED colors/notification, but they don't really work with the messages notifications....ANY HELP??
lilhermit is releasing Trackball alert which will have the ability to change any notification colour LED once a CM compatable version is released

Well I do think it's possible to get the pinch-to-zoom effect on the home screens, it's all about someone developing it and that is probably some coding behind.

The N1 trackball drivers only allow the Attention Light (the one that flashes for incoming calls) to flash white or blue. Outside of that, it's very possible that the developer of Ringo Pro is not handling things properly.

This will also have trouble changing the Incoming call flash. The drivers will need to be tweaked for that to happen.
If we were able to have pinch to zoom on the nexus builds that would complete that build in my opinion, i would actually pay for that.

Actually, I wrote the driver that allows for full color trackball notifications. Then Google supplanted mine with their own. There are several 'Logical Lights' These are the lights that the android system tells to light up and it's up to the hardware to determine what to do with these requests. On the N1, the notification, attention, and breathing light are all mapped to the trackball. The notification light (the one that the notification manager uses to display texts/email/missed calls) is passed to the trackball with full color, but the attention light (the one that the phone flashes when it's ringing) is only mapped to show white or blue. White is flashed for most calls and blue is flashed when the phone is paired to bluetooth and the phone is ringing. The breathing light is pulsed when notification manager puts something in the notification bar and the screen is on. It's actuallly mapped to the attention light, so it is also limited to white and blue.
+1 for Chainsdd and all his work!!!

Well the Ringo Pro app has the ability to change the color of the trackball for each individual contact which works fine until the screen is off. It worked well with the previous cyanogen mod (5.0.4.1). when i upgraded its like there is no priority sensor which allows it to completely control the phone vs the new built in led trackball notification alerts. and when i disable sms alerts the color for ringo pro just stop.
It's only a matter of time...

Notification screen during call (MightyROM)

I'm using MightyROM. While in calls, notification screen always pop up by itself. Is there a way to disable that?
Thanks.

I read somewhere that face will 'accidentally' hit the black bar on the very top while in call, that's why that "Notifications" screen will show up. The screen list missed calls, number of new messages and reminders.
Install advance config 3.3 and turn on the light sensor. This automatically turns off the screen in a call. If it isn't this, then i don't know what it would be.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot. My screen do turn off when it's close to my ear though...
I have a similar problem...
You could try switching to a Leo phone dialer/canvas; i used one that disabled the notification bar during call...
Or you could also try using Touch InCall Screen Tweak. Install the cab, and in the settings screen go to the options tab and check "Show phone at screen on"
So, if you end up pressing the notification bar when putting the phone to your face, this option makes the dialer show up again, and you don't have to close the stupid notification bar. Works for me.

What are the chances of a LED notification?

It looks like the touch surface at the bottom of the device has slight translucent look about it. Might it serve as a notification LED as well?
I think the chances are good. I noticed that as well.
Also, in the video over on android central of the g4 rom running on the nexus, he mentions led notifications built into the rom. I'm not sure if he mean built into the hacked rom or the standard rom.
Hopefully there is

Problem is that development will now have to corporate that in to the roms
I can confirm that there is LED notification located just to the left of the ambient light sensor. There is also a Notification flash setting under the display settings. Flash LED light notifications optinos include: Missed call, SMS/MMS, Email, Voicemail, Reminders, and Alarms. Of course it is also used as a charging notification.

Are they color coded in terms of what sort of notification is presented?

There are multiple color options. I do not know which colors are for what but I do know that emails are green.
Great now I have to decide... HD7, or myTouch 4g?
I'm kinda scared to shift to a new OS, just because it is so new that I have no idea if it will adjust well with how I use a device, however... if I get the 4g it will take forever for official updates to come to the device...
So hard... I guess I will have to try both devices at the T-Mobile store.

Definitively android. wp7 will be a flop.
I too can confirm. youtube wirefly's channel. they got a unboxing AND a small review. (the review has the notification light blinking)
Can anyone who has actually used the phone confirm that there's an LED for notifications and that it's functional? Thanks.

Are you all talking about the notification light at the top that turns on as orange for charging and blinks green for emails? If not I have no idea where this is located :/

[Q - SOLVED] Serendipity 5.7 SMS Problem? [Mod Please Close!]

Don't know if it is a problem or what but when receiving a new text, the screen does not light up but rather just vibrates, make noise, and have the buttons lit up.
Is this a problem or is it a setting I can adjust so the screen lights up as well?
The AOSP mms app doesn't turn on the screen when messages are received (on this ROM). But you can probably try using something like SMS pop up to have the screen turn on and quick reply if you want. I haven't tried that myself, though.
Anyway to change that?

SMS popup is definitely the way to go. allows you to use your preferred messaging app but gives you awesome functionality with the popup notifications. and quick reply is the best.

if you use the samsung mms.apk provided on the serendipity website, the screen will light up upon receiving a text message.
