hi all,
Quick question..... when i receive an sms/mms or email my TP will of course notify me with a sound and pop up message. However when i dont open the message and select dismiss, the notification disappears but the dame center notification light still lights up until i open the message itself... is there anyway to stop this?
By me pressing dismiss, i know there is an unread message so why the flashing light still, i think this is stupid? if i dont click dismiss then yes, i agree the light should notify me there are unread messages .... what if i just dont want to open some messages... then the light will light up forever??
anyone agree and have a fix?
thx
you can set how long you want the light to flash under sounds/notifications I think

yes that is true but doesnt stop my problem when i dismess the notification but not look at the sms.... keeps on flashing like the energizer bunny non stop ....
i think its just life and this cannot be solved.. either u have it on of off and as long as u have sms in ur box, it will keep flashing no matter what... sigh
thanks for the reply friend
The light goes off only after there are no unread messages in your inboxes. Previewing messages from the TouchFlo interface doesn't mark them as read.

Well, it is there to remind you that you still have unread sms. If you really want to remove the notification, just select "Mark as read" instead of "Dismiss". Anyway, WM has a bug whereby even when you select "Mark as read", it is not marked as read. This bug is introduced since WM6.

Actually, previewing the messages from the TouchFlo 3D interface did mark the messages as read. It must fulfil the time out though, it must be displayed for about 3 seconds.

I've never seen that bug before - does it consistently happen?

even if you untick the "flash light" box in sounds and notifications?
I haven't tried it, but seems stupid that the light would flash if you've selected it not to

Mine's not grayed out... but my point is that if I press "Dismiss" after I get a sms, the light should NOT flash anymore as I know there is unread messages and I dont want to read it at that time. The light "should" flash if I dont open the sms, or select dismiss or marked as read.... As long as I dont select anything, the light should flash but if I select anything at all, the light should NOT flash..... is my point. WM didn't really think this point through....
ie. Nokia or any other make of phones... when u get a sms, you have a notification... after you dismiss the notification you dont keep getting other notifications (lights or sounds) do you? Of course not because you already know you have unread messages.... only after you receive new messages do the notifications come back.. that maks sense but WM on this front does not.
mine is grayed out- anyone know why?
Mine is greyed out as well, anyone know why?
Mine is too
for some reason my phone doesn't vibrate even though its set to vibrate as i recieve messages.
anyone have a clue ? and is there any notification software i can default to ?
No real answers here i'm afraid.... but you can try this:
1) i assume the vibrate works? when you get a call/txt etc?
2) Turn off the vibrate for e-mails, soft reset, then re-enable vibrate, then send yourself an e-mail and see.
3) If that doesnt work, try editing the registry for the notification (again, set it to not vibrate, reset, then change to vibrate and test)
finally, as i have disabled all notifications for e-mail (i manually check mine when required & dont need to to prompt me as i'd be looking at it!), i dont know if it will vibrate when you get a new e-mail if you already have unread e-mails.
Good luck!
try this, it worked for me
"With a registry editor go to
HKCU/ControlPanel/Notifications
Go through the keys till you find the one for the new email notifications, (look at each key and check the "Default" REG_SZ). You will see an Options DWORD with a number like 5362464 or something. Change the it to anything under 13 (mine is 5). Save and close then go to Sounds & Notifications to set how you want to be notified and it should work.
You can also delete the AvailableOptions dword to enable all options in the Sound & notification screen.
Please use at your own risk, this worked for me but may fail for you."
thanks for the feed back , im about to flash nrg's 52209 build and then try the registry because the first suggestion didn't work :[ thanks anyway !:]
Does anyone know how to stop the annoying confirmation beep that plays every time I send a text message from my HTC diamond Windows Mobile phone??? Is there a hack?
yeah but dont tell microsoft as its highly illegal
go to start/setting/sounds and notifications
then click on the notifications tab
in the event menu look for SMS SENT or something along them lines then just deselt the options below it
or downloading custom rom may help as its normally turned off by default
if all else fails download schaps advanced config app and choose it from the options in that
Hi
I always used Handcent on Desire,

i dont mind the pop up itself but would not like message text to be there.
cant see a setting for it
anyone know if there is ??
cheers
When I see that I have a text message indicated by either the notification light or the sony style cover window I will open the cover on my phone but the text message on the lock screen is removed almost immediately not allowing me any time to actually read the message. Has anybody else experienced this?
I've noticed that notifications from other apps will remain on the lockscreen, it just seems to be the messenging apps notifications that disappear (I'm using Xperia default messenging app).
For me to read the text message I have to unlock my phone and open the app...I would expect that it should remain on the lockscreen so that I could at least read the message - therefore allowing me to decide if I need to unlock the phone if I want to respond.
Is this something that can be changed in the phone settings somewhere...or is it a glitch? Anybody else notice this?
Thanks!
I believe I just found the answer to my own question... See attached setting
Even with the setting ON (refer to image in post above) this problem continues...
Go to settings, sound & notification, app notification. There choose all and search for Messaging. Untick block.
Thanks for the reply...I checked that setting and the block setting was already ticked off...?
i have the same problem with my galaxy s7 but the problem is still there. any help?
