[Q] Helpppp! BLN not working for handcent notification - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry for not posting this in the development subforum as i do not have the permission
I am using an I9023
Actually it is not working only after i installed the CM nightly 214, no matters which kernel i am using
before that, i was using nightly 195 and everything works fine
i wonder if this is a problem of the latest CM nightlies
I am using the pro version of BLN control and in the BLN status, i can notice that the led service is disabled even after I activated BLN. However BLN still works fine with the missing calls
*LED notification is enabled in Handcent
please help, thank you

may someone please help

It could be just a problem with one of the builds since they are in fact experimental nightlies. You could go back a version (213) and see if that helps at all since I've had an issue with bootlooping upgrading a nightly.

The most recent version of Deck's ROM does this also, I had to drop back to 1.3d from 1.3e because I couldn't stand not having the notifications haha

I FIGURED IT OUT
In the handcent settings, you have to change the LED blinking frequency to something other than default. I set mine to normal, and now it works fine. Let me know if this helps!

It DOES support them

I know that this is an old thread but turning off the Screen Wake on Messaging settings seems to make the BLN work again. At least on my Samsung GS.

[Q] Handcent BLN Notification on CM9

How can I get the soft keys to light up when I get Handcent notifications? They work fine for GMail but I want them for my texts as well.
I'm running CM9 V2.1 with whatever kernel comes with that (Read: I haven't flashed any other ones).
Any pointers? I've tried the solution for CM7 in this thread but it didn't work.
V2.1 also seems to have removed the option to turn BLN off and the BLN app from the Market says it's incompatible and I don't have the BLN mod installed.
Try out NStools.
Cheers
If i helped u somehow, hit thanks button pls
There are no BLN options whatsoever for me in NSTools. Any more suggestions?

Im using v.1.14 and on tweak menu i do have BLN options.
Using Apex-ICS.
Nope
Can anyone tell me how to get BLN working for Handcent on CM9 V2.1?

BLN

What are backlightnotifications? What do they do? And why do we need them? I notice they are in the updated kernal.
Read the app description for the app FB states is needed and I'm sure you will figure it out.
So instead of my phone screen lighting up when i recieve a notification my back light at the bottom of my phone will light up. Am i right? OH OK I GET IT NEAT!!
Yes. If you get a text or whatever - your softkets will illuminate and stay on as a notification.
Hmm, i flashed the new kernel but bln still doesnt work. Any suggestions?

Did you download the app? Did you enable it within the app? Did you flash the kernel through CWM as FB said? Lastly, did you receive a text to test it?
Yes, flashed through cwm. I had an old version of the app, i updated it now but still no luck. And i didnt receive a message, what should i be getting? App is enabled, ofcourse.

You receive a text to see the BLN. It illuminates your softkeys to notify you of a text.
Or there you can push test notification within the app.
Haha, ofcourse, i know. I thought you meant i had to receive a test message upon installation. No, i already received texts and it isnt working. The test in the app foesnt do the trick either. Bummer, i really enjoyed this on froyo and didva happy dance when i saw it should be working with this new kernel.

The test in the BLN app will take a few seconds to kick in. Tap on the test text then turn off your screen right after and you'll get the softkeys lighting up.
I've tested this so far with Trillian (works perfectly, the screen doesn't turn on when I get an IM and the softkeys do). GoSMS doesn't work though. Older versions of GoSMS used to work for me on Froyo with the Bali kernel though.
Note that the app you're trying to test this on has to support BLN!!! I think handcent might. You should go through the market and read the description for different texting apps to be sure though.
GoSMS Pro does support BLN. You have to enable LED notifications in settings --> default notification settings for it to work. I have tested and am using with no problems on GoSMS Pro.
I also disabled 'screen on'.

Aha, this was it. I enabled screen on but this is a much better solution . It doesn't work when you have screen on + led notifications enabled at the same time.
Aweeome! Glad you have it working.
Ok, the test works indeed, didnt realise it takws about 5 seconds to kick in. Im using handcent and it doesnt work there, ill have a look at the handcent settings next.

The Bali kernel used a different implementation of BLN. I may end up porting that implementation at some point to see if it helps compatibility.
Well i dont see anything wrong with my settings in handcent, so i dont know why its not working there...

oh I see the built in text messenger or call doesn't support BLN, only some apps.
Not sure about stock. Have not tried it.
What kernal with bln support would be the best for valhalla black

There is only one kernel for GB with BLN. Go to FB's kernel thread.

I'm no expert, but have you checked the settings within the messages app? I know with some ROMs I've had in the past, basic options, such as this, aren't enabled by default... Might want to check those settings. If they are indeed selected, it's probably a bug in CM10, as it is a nightly build, its considered highly experimental. They could probably benefit from a breakdown of the issue as well as a logcat report if you felt like going as far as to report it.
Go into notification settings and make sure led lights is green, long and normal

[Q] notifcations won't vibrate, any fix?

I recently just flashed the embryo 5.4 rom and its a great but the only problem is I can't make the notifcations vibrate for anything. I've made sure the vibrate function is enabled everywhere ( under the settings, messaging app, etc) the intensity is all the way up and still nothing. I also have the vibrate on screen tap funtion on and that doesn't seem to work either. I've flahsed this over twice already, no reboots fix it. I'm out of ideas. Anyone have any idea how to fix it? I've searched around on here and the web but no answers

Not sure if this ROM has profiles, but I had a similar problem with CM9 a while back. Turns out I had enabled a nighttime profile by accident, and everything was set as normal, except I had vibrate disabled for notifications. Once I disabled and deleted all those profiles, everything was back to normal.
Ive been having the same issue with only SMS notifications. All others will sound/vibe normally.
Flash 5.0 base = working vibe on sms
Update 5.4= no vibe on sms
Any possible solution? Md5 checks OK.
