hey guys, is there an app or mod of some sort that tells you if you have unread messages by say, pressing the camera button and the phone will vibrate if you have a message. that way i dont have to take the phone out of my pocket to check.

Have you though about Liveview from Sony Ericsson? very useful
I have a notification LED for that purpose, if you remove the charger tap the light will come out and you can see the LED blinking without taking the phone out

If you have it in your pocket, wouldn't you feel the phone vibrate when the message actually comes in?
I don't think anyone developed something like this because you either feel the phone vibrate in your pocket at the moment the message arrives - or you don't feel it vibrate at all because it's in a bag or something, where you would have to take it out anyway.
So not much hope here.
Edit: The closest you will get to this are stock message replacements like Handcent or chomp sms, that have a reminder function to vibrate every x minutes if there are unread messages/calls on your phone. These apps are pretty customizable, take a look at them! Handcent sms has this function for sure, don't know about chomp sms, though.

Hey guys
Anyone know an app to wake the screen upon emails and text? I like the sleep mode features but can't tell when people contact me!

Vibrate and Sound notification are not enough?
If I am not mistaken, you can use app called "Missed call".
It could be set to remind you again and again and again.

Is that just calls though? I want calls, emails and text.
If I am not near my phone I may never know ...
Check the app
You do realise that there's a LED light that blinks right?
Yeah, but it doesn't do it for long and rather have a solid light and be able to change the colour .

I dont know if this is the right place to put this so move the thread willingly.
I was wondering if there is any way to get the Trackball Light notifications and the Trackball wake mod working in froyo. I know the source hasnt been released but maybe it is still possible... maybe
Patience my young grasshopper
Paul from Modaco says that he'll get right on it as soon as the source is released. He himself wants it quite badly (follow him on his Twitter if you want to know ASAP when it's released).

Then how do you enable them? We're you able to enable them? They don't work on my phone. Its back to the old white pulse every 5 seconds for everything.
hmm i have "Light" checked in google voice,ebuddy, and Gmail doesnt have an option in their app but i have "Pulse notification lights" enabled in the default menu.
Im guessing its up the app developer to select the color notification light.
Yep, really missing trackball wake.
As for the color notifications, they just seem to work here out of the box...
I dont think you need to open a new thread for this topic. Everyone waiting for it, cant you learn how to wait? Dont just ask for something, learn how to understand something. At least understand the situation, source is not release yet. So be patient!
DL screenmode from the app market and set it to screen lock off. Trackball wake up should work. Just found out about this yesterday lol

nice! just have to make sure you remember to turn the screen off when you're not using it...
I think trackball is much more useful. I got so used to it by now that its really annoying to use the unlock button at the top. Also its annoying that the Email light and the SMS light are both white....
Sitting by for further development i guess haha
Since HandcentSMS & ChompSMS no longer work - I've reverted back to 'SMS Popup' and the stock messaging app.
SMS Popup has 'LED colour' in the notification settings - so you can set to red, just like CM...

Umm ...
I bought LockBot Pro for Froyo for switching on with trackball, and it works great
(as long as you install or move it to internal memory)
The ChompSMS beta works great on Froyo too, and it makes the LED flash Green for me.

why? phone will sleep in 1 min anyway.. with or without screenlock..
never really understood who needs that locking feature.. doesnt the screen only respond to the fingers?
im using app called No lock. it removes that sliding locking AND enables trackballwake on froyo.. at least worked for me..

Handcent already releeased 3.0 that works with froyo. Been using it with no problems for a day now.
Most lock screen apps will allow trackball wake. Lock Bot works as well
There is an app on the market called no lock that let's you wake up your phone with trackball.
Hancent and ChompSMS both work now, and allow custom colors for your trackball alerts.
Google HAS enabeld the color trackball notif for the nexus one. See link below for use:
developer.android.com/intl/fr/reference/android/app/Notification. html
Now anny app can use those notifications, no need to be root. You can now just start having some fun!!!
I've noticed some of my trackballs notifications are different colors now but has anyone found a way to speed up the blinking?
Is there an app that will turn your screen on after X minutes to remind you of notifications? Since there isnt an LED for notifications, simply turning the screen on after X minutes would get my attention.
there's an app for that look for it... I think it's called noled ... look for it

lol, 2 weeks is a "long time"...
Anyway, I saw that app, thinking about something different though. I just need the lock screen to come on to remind me of notifications. I dont like the idea of NoLED, since it stays on constantly.
Sms Popup works wonderfully for sms and mms notifications. I highly suggest it. You can also set the time of the reminder, which is nice.
after one week is old news. JK
I read the idea to use the backlight of the home menu search and back to set reminders but I no idea how that is going. Try the Sms popup
SMS Popup was the very first app I installed since I used the heck out of it on the G1.

Lost or removed features:
- Automatic brightness
- Green Led notification for unread SMS
Worsened features:
- GPS settings
- GPS popup warning each time GPS is enabled
New bugs:
- Low resolution contact pictures
Replaced functionalities:
- Dedicated SMS backup to SD card, superseded by Backup&Restore application, which is unable to restore old backup format.
I would like to collect and discuss all the features removed or lost in the 2.1 update, as well as the new bugs, annoyances, and the features that have somehow worsened.
Please post you list, I will update accordingly the opening post.
This should also be the place where to discuss these issues or post workarounds.
For me a big problem is GPS. The additional setting is gone, and now every time you activate GPS via the widget, you get the confirmation popup
But even worst, the confirmation popup appears even if an application enables GPS in background!
I read auto bright is still there, seems it is on the widget now
Lost Features :
No more Green Led notification when you receive a sms

Supposedly works just fine if the screen is off.

The signal-to-noise ratio on these forums is far far too low.

Just done a test. With the screen off, I sent me an SMS. I got the new message sound, and then the green led remained off.
You can use BLINK for your LED thing.
I been using it but not sure if you can use it for SMS...

Have you tried another SMS app?

its one less thing to worry about .
I had a total freeze on stock browser last night couldnt close it down properley had to restart. got used to that though from nokia 5800/x6. thought id seen the last of it.
Luckily it has not happened since so ill give it the benefit of the doubt this time.
worsened: The exchange native support is removed from Android 2.1 and they still got Moxier in there
I am going to use my root to remove all default Google apps so I can install the cyanogenmod versions... see if i can't get exchange back in the mail app and remove bloat.

Hi all i just had an idea for all the people that want a led notification when they miss a call or get and email, fb notification , twit anything really.
You could have the two led back and menu buttons flash when the phone is in standby, letting you know there is a notification waiting that you have not seen since the last your phone was on.
Now i don't know how to do this but i put the idea out there for devs could be some thing useful for some people?
What you are looking for is bln (backlight notification) which needs to be baked into the kernal. There was a thread about it in the dev forum. Seems to have died though.

Hi,
with the Omnia 2 we had the same problem. Somebody solved it this way!
Perhaps something like this is possible on S2, too?

Agreed..Only needs to be a soft pulse to notify the end user

+1.. Use NoLed , its an awesome app , but I always check my phone so I dont need any of these apps xD
Since noled keeps phone cpu in awake state, its non comparable to button light kernel hack (which causes almost no battery usage change at all, like on phones with dedicated notification leds)
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Yeh that's why i made the suggestion so that your screen is not on awake.
Having the menu button and back button to be personalized "like missed call for menu and back for sms " . This would be good i think
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Funny because I was thinking of the lack of notification today, but want something different. I would like the led to light up like a heart beat when connected to usb charger. I simply hate that I can't see if my device is charging in the car.. how does this sound?
