Is anyone here having issues with the notification light?
On my handset, then green notification light keeps flashing even though there is nothing to be notified. I havent got any new texts or emails however it still flashes green. I dont understand what its trying to notify me about.
Any know how to fix the problem?

I thought about that, but i'd do that as a last resort, because i dont want to delete everything. I was hoping there might be something i can do without rebooting.
Thanks anyway

He said reboot, ie simply try turn ing the phone on and then off or select restart from the power button (by a long press), neither of which loose any data.
Not full reset- which wipes phone back to original state.

Go to "Settings > Display > Notification flash" and see which items are ticked.
On mine, I have ticks against "Missed call", SMS/MMS and Email, but there are also entries there for voice mail, reminders and alarms.
Maybe you need to update/sync your google/gmail settings to clear an email notification?
What notifications are shown in the status bar drop-down?

That was the first thing i did, it does get rid of the light however it starts flashing again after a few hours so i dont want to keep restarting my phone. I was hoping there was a permanant method. Thanks anyway.

No notifications are shown in the drop down bar but yet it flashes and thats what i dont understand. Because the light flashes when there is no visible notification i.e. txt or email.
I shall try your method and untick some of the notifications i dont need and maybe that should sort things out. Thanks.

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.

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
Just a quick question, has anyone else had problems using Handcent on there incredible? Everthing works like it should, the only problem is that the LED notifications dont work so i never know if i have a new text or not without waking up the phone, it dosent matter what color i change the LED notification too, it dosent work on any setting, just seeing if others experienced this as well
Make sure you have led notifications off for the regular messaging app and turned on for handcent. Thus should work, I've been using it on my Incredible since the day I got it.

dosent work... the stock messaging app has no settings for LED just sound and vibrate, and the stock messaging apps notifications in general are turned completely off, whereas handcents are on with LED blink checked and it does not work, ive tried every color and none work
My LED notifications work. The only thing that doesnt happen is the color change, no matter what color I set it to it just blinks green, but my stock messaging would blink as well so im not sure whats wrong with yours

I am seeing the exact same thing. Hoping we'll be able to change LED color after root, but if not...... I can live with that.
Yea while using handcent, mine only blinks green no matter what color i put it on.
Seeing as that the Captivate does not have a notification LED, it sometimes becomes a problem noticing new notifications. I just want to know if there is some kind of application that would flash the screen for a few seconds or so when the phone receives a new notification. I remember my iPhone doing that and it would be cool to see Android phones doing the same.
Look in the development forum for captivate, there is a thread doing this exact thing

No, I know about the red dot on the screen thing. I dont really need that and besides, I believe it kills battery. I just want some app to turn the screen on for a few seconds when I get a notification.
Maybe go to the noled thread and see if he'll add that feature
my screen does flash when I get a message. It pops up in the notification bar and shows two lines of the message then shuts off.

It does this when it is sleeping?
I just tested it. When its locked and the screen is off it revives itself when I get and MMS or SMS. For emails it does not.
handcent sms will do it when you adjust the settings for the popup menu
Oh, maybe it only works for SMS and MMS notifications only. I would like the screen to flash on for every notification (Gmail, Feedr, AIM, etc). Kind of like how the iPhone worked with push notifications.
Just curious if this is a problem for just me or if anyone else has noticed it as well (Sense problem, maybe?)
When I have a text notification in my drop down panel, I select it, and nothing happens. The notification panel disappears (which you'd expect to happen when selecting it) but my SMS app never opens.
Anyone else? or am I alone?

Are you using stock sms app? You are dragging the app down to the ring right?

Stock app, yes - but not talking about from the lock screen. Just in general.
SMS comes in, alert is in my notification panel, I select it, and the app doesn't actually open.

Could you accidentally be "swipe to clear"ing it?

Nope. the notification stays. SMS comes in, notification pops up, I select it, notification panel goes away, but I'm still in the same app (or homescreen etc).that I was in prior to attempting to open the notification.
SMS app loads fine from homescreen shortcut, but rarely opens from the notification panel.
Have not seen that problem, but have had problems with not receiving notifications every time I receive a message. Perhaps the problems are related? Out of curiosity, have you noticed if the problem happens more often when the phone is charging?
Don't know yet if the update solved the problem...

Well, I rooted and installed LeeDroid, so my problem has disappeared.
Good luck!
I'm still on stock and rooted and I know exactly what youre talking about.

I almost never get a notification when I receive a text. No sound, vibration, no little number on the icon. It seems to not want to notify me when I am using the phone.

Probably a daft question, but have you tried changing the settings from within the Messages app (Open the app, then Settings > Notifications)? These are different from the settings in the Phone Sound settings menu.
I've gone to settings->display->LED indicator and unchecked 'Notifications', but I still get the blinking blue light every time I get an email (via gmail).
Anyone have any suggestions on what I'm missing or doing wrong? I don't want the notification light...
thanks...

Try an app that controls the LED notification like "light flow"
Try disabling notifications in gmail as well?
