I have just picked up my XDA exec and am just getting used to it. I have an issue with the green/amber notification light.
When I receive a text message the light changes from green (service indicator) to flashing amber...good so far. I then open the text and the light returns to flashing green (still good so far). I reply to the text message and I receive back the "Text Message Sent" notification. This causes the light to flash amber again, but this time I am unable to return it to green. I dismiss the notification and still it is flashing amber.
I can only clear this by going into "sounds & notifications" and exiting out, this seems to clear the light. What am I doing wrong? Does anyone else have this problem? Many thanks for any help with this.
well, you can controll this by going to>>
from Sounds and Notifications menu, click on Notifications below
then from the Event list, select New text message or whatever
and then check or uncheck Flash light or you can even change the period
of time you want the light to flash!
regards
Thanks, but I know that bit. I want it to flash when I get a new test message, but not when I get a "Text Message Sent" notification, as this isn't a text message. This worked correctly on my XDA 2s, it seems to behave differently on the exec, or I have set something up incorrectly.
Any ideas?
Hmmmm, I had this problem on my Jam. Can't remember exactly if/how it was resolved, have you tried changing the settings for "MMS Sent" (which seems to be the closest type of notification)?
Hi, yes checked that and it is set to not flash the light....in fact I only have "Incoming text message" set to flash the light....very confused now?
yeah mine does this as well, when the notification arrives telling me the sms is sent. Ironically it clears if your in the messaging app when the notification arrives, but anywhere else (today screen usually) the orange light keeps flashing, i'll do some further tests but that seems to be the case for me anyhow.

Hi, I have just tested this and I still get the amber light even when in text message application......
Yeah, as you say its not because I was in the messenging tab, its because in the 3ish seconds the notification is on the screen, I hit the left softkey for dismiss rather than waiting for it to time out, either that or it only does it with random txt's

I have been playing around with this and if I set the SMS notification to no flashing light then when I get the "Text Message Sent" notification the amber light only flashes for about 1 minute before returning to green. However, if I have the SMS notification set to flash the amber light for any amount of time then the "Text Message Sent" notification causes the amber light to flash for that amount of time also. It seems to mistake the "Text Message Sent" notification for an incoming text message....Very strange.
Hello!
I have very annoying problem and didn't found any solution so far.
There are few e-mail accounts configured on my HD: Exchange and 4 POP3 accounts.
I am not reading all the e-mails as soon as they arrive so I all the time have ~10 unread messages. Usually I dismiss all notifications or even open an e-mail message and then mark it as "Unread" just not to forget about it.
So, the problem is that after I dismiss a notification or even mark a message as "Unread" manually I am keep getting notifications that there are some "New emails" arrived. I get these notifications every few minutes, so it is very very annoying.
Does anyone know the solution?
Best regards,

Is it possible to change the notifications so that the trackball keeps flashing when there's a new email / missed call / voicemail etc? At the moment it seems to flash when new email arrives and that's it, so if you miss the flash you can't tell there are any notifications unless you check.
actually just found out that when you have notifications the indicator flashes green, otherwise it doesn't flash at all. Unlike other HTC devices (where they nomally flashed green and then flashed orange to indicate notifications), but I guess it'll do
It does say in the user guide that the LED will flash green when there are notifications, but who ever reads that.
It would be nice to be able to select if the trackball should light up, in which interval and for what notifications. The green led will blink on any notification, not just email and missed call.
I came across an app called SMS Popup. It can change the color of the LED for SMS and MMS notifications in addition to the other great options of popping the message up on the screen and giving you reminders of unread messages.
When I receive email I hear sound and vibrating...but I dont want the device to vibrate, but there is only option for reminders which says: email notification - on/off...
So...I can only have both, sound and vibrating, or none?
have you tried to touch the left side "New e-mail message" ? Not right side "OFF/ON" switch..

Hi All,
I am trying to stop the lock screen notifications. The reason is that I am using NiLS and I want to use only NiLS for now.
The problem is that I cannot stop the missed calls and messages notification that came with the phone and so far I have both NiLS and Android (note 4) notifications on my lock screen.
I tried some options in "Notifications" Section in Messages app but with no luck. I was able to remove the text only but I still receive "New Message" notification on the lock screen.
Any help will be much appreciated.
