In the new v5.4 when u get a text the lock screen comes on. Is there to have it not do that and just flash led? I don't like that anybody can look at my messages when I get them.
Thanks

Inspire me, I'm happy to answer your question, but please post all rom related questions in the respective rom thread. All roms are different and not everyone is using the same. Your question will get answered quicker too.
That said, go to settings, privacy, and uncheck display message text on lockscreen. It doesn't keep the lockscreen from coming on, but it's one way to do what you need. I hope that helps. See you over at the CoreDroid thread.
I appreciate that. I did that. I just don't like my screen coming on for battery purposes. I can't post on the thread until I have exceeded 10 posts then I definitely will

How are you getting the screen to light up on receiving a text message? My screen has never lit up from a text notification without using something like GoSMS. Right now if my device is locked, it will only vibrate on text. I'd like vibrate+screen for say 10 seconds.
Many times my phone is on vibrate/silent and I miss a text message because I have no visual cue. I'd use the LED light, but that keeps blinking until you clear the notification.
I'd be okay if I could configure the LED to only flash 3 or 4 times then stop, or stop after say a minute.
Back to topic: Is my phone doing it right, or is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?
Yeah I see your post count now. Not sure this can be done with stock lockscreen. You may try handscent sms or widgetlocker.
I didn't have this problem til I updated to v5.4 and I have had all the coredroid Rome from v4.5

So I've been running noLED on my Nexus S for a while now and just decided to add the app SMS Popup. The problem is that when my phone is sleeping and I get a text I no longer get the notification icon from noLED only, I also get the message pop up and the buttons on it (reply and close) stay active.
I wish that when my phone was sleeping and I got a text I only got the "notification light" from noLED and once I unlocked the screen I'd see the SMS pop up. Does anyone know of a way to reach that? Maybe another app would behave accordingly? Thanks
Under the miscellaneous setting in noled check the option to delay SMS notifications. Works great for me.
That said the pop-up won't be there when the phone is unlocked. Just for the I initial screen on.

Thanks for the tip but that doesn't really help me achieve what I want.
Maybe I could try another SMS program? (Handcent, etc) Opinions/experiences would be great.
I don't think the app matters. The way I understand it is noled will "dismiss " any popup occupying the screen in order to work.
Let me know if you find something though as its an option I'd love to have myself.

Tried Handcent, Chomp, tried even using Widget Locker and it was a no go.

Perhaps you can check out the app's thread for more info and help.
Yep been there and talked with the dev. Doesn't seem possible.

I've noticed that my screen will turn on when I receive a new text message. It turns on to the lock screen and then eventually times out and turns off again. I don't know how to make it so the screen stays off.
Have you guys noticed this? Do you know how to turn this setting off?
what sms app are you using?

The stock messaging app brah

Someone posted an mms.apk in the apps forum. That one, along with any mms.apk that gives you the "black background" option, also doesn't wake the screen upon receiving notifications.

I'm using the stock messaging app and I have not flashed Eagle's Blood. I am using LauncherPro for my launcher.
This phone seems to be great with only a few oddities, this being one of them. The other issue I'm having is not being able to end calls sometimes.

Hi,
Is there an app (working with the Sensation) that can make the LED notification light flash continually until you actually open the new message or am I stuck having to bring the phone out of sleep incessantly to check if anything new has come in?
Surely such an app would just eat battery up for no reason.

I've been having a look at this myself,
(i am a noob when it comes to devolping apps)
but i was one first to get desire and there
was a command that you can run (without root)
to get the led to flash different colours length etc..
Tried this on the sensation and just get a file cannot be found.
(if you want to now the command then pm me or
il post it up not that it be much help)
so basically this means all existing apps with run on this old
command, so a new one will be needed when somebody figures
out the file name for the sensation led - then you can
just push a number to it using the echo command and itl work.
put into a java script and your done
wait so the notification light only lasts for 5 minutes? wtf?

What?? Is this true???
You know, I never noticed that since it's my second line. Interesting. Maybe part the reason the standby time is so good on this phone. (really reaching)
I did leave my phone alone for a few hours and no flashing led for my peep mentions.

any update on this?
I just got the phone and the lack of a notification sound or light is a big negative for me.
I would love to see the app NoLED work for the Sen4G which would be a perfect fix for this issue
The HTC Sensation does have notification by sound, LED and Vibration, look closer at your settings check out the settings in HTC Hub

The problem I'm having with NoLED is that I also use Handcent SMS and when you clear the NoLED notification screen it also closes the sms popup window. It's kind of annoying. A fix around that issue is the problem I'm having.
Just installed SMS Popup & it seems to have an option to repeat your reminder & can set an interval. It even turns on the screen which I missed!!!
Testing now.

Edit: yep, works perfectly. Only downside is you lose the awesome lockscreen feature of showing the envelope & text
Any update or workaround?

That's only for SMS, which I literally never use. (I use Google Voice for 100% of my texting.)

Haha yes! And I've successfully converted a few others as well. I mainly use it because I can text via my work PC or my home PC. Texting with a full keyboard = a thousand times better
Plus saving on text messaging costs, and ease of porting number over yadda yadda
Anyway, I've been testing out NoLED today and it's a nice app but I don't like that it turns the entire screen on. Massive battery loss there.
Is there a better way?
from what I've read NoLED was made with an AMOLED screen in mind where black doesn't drain the battery because those LEDs are actually off
I've been using NoLED with Handcent. There is an option in NoLED that is Handcent specific that seems to keep the sms popup under the NoLED notification. Just unlock NoLED with the volume rocker and the popup window will remain open. Only downside is when the phone is on vibrate you will be constantly taking the phone out of vibrate mode to unlock NoLED to view sms popups. At that point you'd have to use the home or back key to unluck NoLED but it will dismiss the sms popup. So NoLED is ALMOST a nice fix. Gonna use it for now until something better comes along.

After going through all the app's options and menus extensively, I now have it set to disable the screen via the proximity sensor (ie if in my pocket etc).
Now I'm trying to use the Blink feature so if my phone is on a table or somewhere exposed, the screen isn't 100% on. Rather, it turns off/on periodically.
However, it seems the Blink feature doesn't work on the Sensation? When I get a notification, the screen never turns on.
If I disable blink, it works again right away (but then the screen is on 100% of the time when not in my pocket).
Anyone else experienced this?
Why do I not see one thread discussing notifications? Given we don't have kernel source, BLN is not possible, but seems it would be useless anyway considering how dim the blacklights are. Also, it appears NoLED does not support the charge yet. What's everyone doing for notifications on this thing?!?!
Noled works just fine on the charge

Hmmmm wtf, I've got widget on and tried reboot, still nothing...Will dig further...Looks like this is all we will ever have though for notifs tho
Just a couple of tips; Download Handcent SMS(not sure if you can do this with stock) and change the settings to turn the screen on when you receive an SMS. If that still doesn't get your attention just set it so you receive an update every 1-15 mins if you don't check the unread messages.
I spent 2 years without a notification LED and didn't see a point to it. Loud notification alert + screen on works fine for me.

I prefer GoSMS over Handcent, way more efficient, cleaner, more features...screen does turn on when I recieve it, but if I'm out and phone is in my pocket and can't hear/feel it, I used to just take a quick glance to see if BLN was on...Rather dissapointed they didn't put an LED in here...Will look into the update thing though, thanks
NoLED works great on my charge. There is a setting for delaying it for popup txts and I have that on. You do have to be using the Glass or Puzzle lock screen for it to work, if you're on a custom rom.

I'm on gummycharge GBE, appears glass/puzzle lock screen in settings doesn't work, those are the only two options and I have AOSP lock screen...Also, just tried delay sms feature, will let you guys know a fix when I figure it out
So each time I restart my phone, whether it's after a titanium backup, a cwm backup or anything, it will automatically send the last two people I texted messages from a few days ago. I have the backups set at 2 am so I end up annoying my friends.
What's going on here?
Edit: On a completely separate note, when I get a text, my phones screen doesn't turn on and I don't get the notification tone, only vibrate. Once I wake my phone up via the unlock button, the tone suddenly pops up and I get my message. I've been missing texts and it's annoying.

Well, you are sending your phone messaging app to a state where it hasn't finished sending the text out,I assume.I would suggest flashing with wiping and when you do your titanium back up, you don't use the messaging backup...should fix it. As far as text goes for lighting up the screen, what Rom are you on, several of them have this issue, or had, not sure if it's ironed out.

Actually I'm having the same issue of texts being resent after a restart....and i'm on 1.85 stock unrooted. I'm using Handcent SMS though so I figured the app was the culprit.
