Hi,
Becasue of poor battery in our Diamond I want to disable flashing light notification on keyboard when new SMS has been received. This "light notification" is flashing as long as I don't read new message <grrrr>
Anyone has idea how to do it?
Thanks for help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=434620 my hack allows you to disable it too but an LED light does not take enough batter power to merit disabling it. they are the most energy efficent part of the device i dont think you will notice any gains disabling it but you can test for us
Juggalo_X - I will notice that baterry lives longer, because I often recive SMS and I read it after couple hours [even 10]. During that time LEDs are flashing and my baterry is running down.
I read about your hack, but I don't see any information that it allows to disable flashing notification after new SMS arrived. Are you sure it can do it? I installed couple of software that should disable it, but none of it worked properly, so I want to be sure
Ps. I already remove from the registry "AvailableOptions" from all of the notifications, to be able to use option responsible for repeat of the flashing notification. It didn't help :/
As I said your hack doesn't work. After new SMS LED are flashing all over again.
Any other ideas?

Hi I am running Ruu_Signed_Duttys_WM6.1_5.2.19700_Hybrid_V2_1_64.08.21_CubeV2 ROM.
And everytime I get an incomming text message or e-mail the backlight comes on.
This happens even after you put it into standby and none of the other buttons will wake it only the power button.
i think that is by default and if u want the phone to wake by pressing any key than u have to make that change under settings.
It should not do that, the last ROM I used did not have that issue. It may not be the ROM I would like to know if anyone else has this problem.
Hi everyone..is there really no way to disable the screen turning on when a text or e-mail comes in. When using a WM6.1 ROM, I have tried different ROMs and they all the doing the same. It seems this should be something that can be configured.
Any input from the experts...if not I will go back to WM 6.0
I didn't have it happen with L26 v4 ROM - it does with Dutty's and it does with Death v3. I have heard from others in those threads who say that it does not happen to them. Some have said that the BBCONNECT program 4.0.0.92 is the solution - I have not bothered to search for or try yet. For me , right now, the common thread seems to be AT&T based ROMs
Arghhhhh....I hate to step back into the dark ages but that issue really bugs me. Knowing that my phone is in my case and everytime and e-mail comes in the screen turns on for 10sec....that accounts for the my short battery life.....And I only want to run the ROM's from Dutty he does really great work....wish I knew half of what he does. I might be able to fix it myself...That then brings the question why certain ROM's an not others...
I will leave that question to the experts.
I think it does this because it is putting an alert notification on the screen... I disabled those on mine and they still seem to come on the screen!!
It's so annoying to have to deal with your emails and at the same time have to dismiss countless notifications!!!
Same annoying problem here.
WM 6.1, and every setting in 'sounds & notifications' fails to show results.
Whether I disable or enable the tone, the showing of a message, or the vibration.. no dice: it keeps waking up from standby mode.
i remember some else asking this question as welll... and i think someone was talking about changing something in the the registry, but i am also interested in this. it would come in handy when i have to put my phone in standby for a long time.
bump
I too have this same issue. I've had my new ROM for several months and love it, but I would like to know how to stop the backlight from turning on everytime an email is received.
It never used to do this, however I am pretty sure the backlight always came on for new text messages.
I can deal with the text messages. However, I run blackberry connect for my work email. Having the backlight come on for each email obviously kills the battery life.
I know if can be disabled as it was before. The question is how? Is there a registry setting?
I keep setting reminders to pop up an on screen notification then after a reboot and not every time) it loses the settings and I have to go back into SOUNDS - NOTIFICATIONS and set reminders to have the ON SCREEN MESSAGE again.
Does anyone know how to make the permanent as it is driving me mad.
I too am having this problem - why does it do that????
I think I had this problem before updating to Rom 1.37.707.1 too...so probs not rom related
It is weird. It only resets sometimes as well. I cant work out what causes it.
wonder why not many ppl complaining about this issue? Its good having notification on
yes mine did it last night again but had not done it for a few days.
I wonder if it is to do with certain software configurations i.e. if you have something installed. I have not added that much to the standard build or even if it is noise specific i.e. a certain sound file.
Found a new version on Modaco...don't know whether anyone noticed:
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?automodule=downloads&showfile=2400
Kaiser Notifications (for HTC Tytn II*)
Version 2.02
* This should also work on the HTC Touch Cruise, please let me know if you try it and it works okay. Works with Windows Mobile 6.1 and the .NET compact frame 2.0 or 3.5.
Version 2.02 - Fixes an error relating to date time parsing when using certain cooked ROMs. If you do not have this problem no need to upgrade.
Whats new in version 2.0?
Audio and vibrate reminder alerts for new items
Version 2 now allows you to add audio and vibrate reminder alerts for unread items. Most mobile phones do this and I started to miss this on the Kaiser. Mobile phones will intermitently beep/vibrate if you have new items but haven't seen them, whereas Windows Mobile generally sounds once when the item arrives but gives no additional sounds after that and leaves it to a flashing LED to get your attention. With this version your Kaiser will play a wav file of your choice and/or vibrate every so many minutes for new items.
To avoid battery drain and annoying those around you in your absence, the phone will increase the time span between reminders, the default is: Item arrives, phone alerts as normal. If after 5 minutes you haven't read the message, it will play the selected wav file and/or vibrate. If the message still goes unread it will then alert again after waiting for 10 minutes, then it will alert after a wait of 15 minutes, then 20 minutes, all the way up to 60 minutes, where it will then alert every hour. These settings are configurable.
Off schedule
You can now set a period where the Kaiser Notification program should not interupt you, typically this would be used for overnight. LEDs stop flashing, and no alerts are played for unread items. You can also select to turn the mobile phone off during this period which is great for saving battery power and knowing you are not going to be woken by a ringing phone.
What's fixed?
When roaming onto networks the LED will now flash normally.
What's still broken?
I've had no joy finding out how to flash the LED amber. You may still select amber as an option, however it will flash green. Hopefully I will get to the bottom of this soon.
As per a few requests I have not been able to adjust the flash rates for the LED, or have them light static while charging.
Installation Instructions
The program must be installed on 'Device' to work, it currently does not work if installed on storage card.
1) Copy the cab file to the device and run it. Install to device and not a storage card. If you have the first version it will be removed automatically.
2) From Programs click the new icon for 'Kaiser Notfication Setup'.
3) On first running the setup program the LEDs will automatically be set to the pre-defined defaults, change as required. Set up a schedule and reminder alerts as required.
A link is placed in the Windows/Startup folder during install that will ensure the tiny program that controls the LEDs is loaded automatically when the Kaiser is soft reset or turned off and back on.
Uninstalling
Use Remove Programs to uninstall. After uninstall a soft reset is necessary to get the LEDs flashing as per the original HTC settings.
Other Information
Once this program is installed the LED will not light steady during a charge. This functionality will of course be restored after uninstalling.
Wi-Fi isn't indicated with this program as the device needs to be on to have Wi-Fi enabled anyway so you can see the connectoin status on the display.
Scheduling Mobile Phone to Turn On
(Update: On Windows Mobile 6.1 ROMs with Radio version 1.64.08.21 this is no longer an issue) If you set a schedule and select to turn the mobile phone on at the end of the scheduled period, please note the Kaiser will come fully on before timing out and going back to standby. This behaviour I can not change and is triggered by the radio chip. Please be careful if using this as option as when the phone turns on it could be subject to accidental button presses, and of course I can not be responsible for any charges you may incur if the phone accidently dials out.
alert/vibrate reminders
The alert/vibrate reminder is silenced as soon as you read one or more unread items. You do not need to read all unread items to silence the alert/vibrate reminder. The idea of the reminder is to get you back to look at your phone for new items that have arrived but you have missed, once you read a single item the reminders are cancelled as it has done it's job of getting your attention. Should any new items arrive afterwards, the alerts will start again.
Sound files
You may select any wav file for the alert sound. Only wav files that are in the Windows folder are supported. You may of course add a wav to the Windows folder to use your own sound.
Any problems let me know in the support forum. Enjoy.

I've had it forever, and I'm using 2.02.
I was hoping this was a new version, KN doesn't work 100% with WM 6.1.

Hmmm... I couldn't find it on the forum and therefore posted it (knowing it was dated march 2008). I've used the 1.0 version up to now, did you try it with that version because I have no issues with it on any ROM I tried (and I try them all, almost ROM update weekly).

This version is there from 3.5.2008. I am still waiting that he will resolve some issues about the led flashing.

No, I'll try to find the older version. This one basically works, but I think I *only* get one LED notification after that.. It's very odd.. if I have SMS set to Blue and Email set to Green, and I get an email first, I'll get a green blink. After that I'll only get a green blink. After a soft reset, if I get an SMS first, I'll get blue blinks after..
Never any left blinks, such as missed call etc..
But at least it doesn't blink forever like nueLED did, and it'll uninstall without leaving junk all over. Also it doesn't blink incessantly and still works with TomTom, so I continue to use it... but I'll try v1.0
@ Mikulec
Which blinking issue do you mean exactly?
When your Leds wont stop blinking after receiving a new SMS/MMS just try these.
Go into your registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/System/State/Messages
There are Folders named SMS and MMS, in these Folder is another Folder called unread.
There is a key called Count, set it to zero in both folders and the leds will stop endless blinking.
Cheers
Damn,
I read your post 2 or 3 days ago, thought I'll give a try cause I was searching for such an app (switching off sounds for specific time periods, i.e. in the morning to use SpoonAlarm, which uses a "notification" before activating, sort of iritating when still sleepy ).
Then I forgot and needed 30 minutes of intensive forum search to put my hands on it . I try it now, thanks for the tip.
EDIT: damn the led system isn't handling amber at all, not even when the phone is charging, that's lame :-/. And you can't do w/o it seems. I wanted this "scheduled switch off notification" .
i will keep my post short
"KaiserNotifications is must to have in Kaiser"
I have a Tilt and I don't know if my phone is the problem or what? but I cannot select "blue" for Bluetooth or "red" for unread SMS. I know there's an issue with the amber light, but my phone is only blinking green and nothing else, no matter what changes do I make. Is this software 100% compatible with the AT&T Tilt?
Thank you, brother. it is useful
TU...
But after 1 month using I instal nueLED and for me it's the best software..
i can't see amber color any more
I Installed KaiserNotification v2.02 but i can't see the amber color any more, i can see it only when it charges and before entering windows.
Is there any solution in registry?
Thx in advanded
nice prog nikagl! Great Work!

hi, i find a lot of the time my sms messages are not coming through till i activate the screen from sleep. it does not happen all the time but a lot. has anyone else had this problem/ know why its happening?
thanks
r u using the 'Disable screen-wake up on new MSG' from the XperiaTweak?
i had the same problem as you before and after i uncheck this from the tweak its seem to solve the issue.
u might like to try this if u r also using the XperiaTweak.
thanks. that solves one problem and makes another one. i will send a message to the tweak guy and see if he can fix it in the next update.
thanks for the help mate
No problem...
So it solve your new MSG issue?
Anyway i just post a reply to nelshh...waiting for his reply....
Shouldn't "Disable screen-wake up on new MSG" disable the new msg screen wake-up? I think the function of this setting is the same that you are referring to as a bug Or am I wrong?
i think the main issue is that maybe some of us interpret this as that when u check this option, it only disable the screen from waking up but the phone would still alert (vibrate/LED flashing) when there a new text message.
So maybe that y we figure it as bug.....my bad....
I am also having the same issue.
I have XperiaTweak installed and have the "disable screen wakeup on enw msg" checked.
Before I hard reset my phone, i had not problems with this function. If i got a new sms, my phone would play its jingle and start flashing its LED's. Now, the phone does absolutely nothing until I hit the power switch to wake up the phone, and only then plays its jingle and flashes its lights. The sms date stamp will tell me that I got the sms a while ago but it just doesn't alert me at the time. Any suggestions?
If you've got the "disable screen wakeup on new msg" option checked, surely that is what it will do? DISABLE the wake up function? So my suggestion would be to uncheck this option.
Also, if the problem persists, it can be sometimes be rectified by a registry fix.
Go to HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL and change the value of "DisableSMSWakeUpEvent" to 0.
I wonder - is it possible to change the frequency of blinking of the notification LED diode? It blinks too slow and one has to stare at the phone to be sure there are no missed calls or new messages without waking the device.
I went through the settings several times but could not find anything. In the registry I stumbled upon HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\AllLEDMgr (as I understand AllLEDMgr is the LED driver), but there was no value that seemed to be related to frequency of blinking. Maybe I missed something in the registry?
Anyway, I'd like to avoid applications such as nueLED, because that would be another thing running all the time (TD2 is not the snappiest phone even if one does not use HTC Sense - personally I prefer the less is more approach and therefore install only applications that I really need).
Any hints/tips would be most welcome.
