Hey all.
I just got a G1. I love it, its such a big step from a Touch.
But one thing I really need on it is for the screen to light up when I get a notification, more specifically an SMS. The vibration on the G1 isn't too great, so I leave it on my desk. And I hate having an audible sound to play (I'm picky, I know). When I got an SMS on my Touch the screen would illuminate, any way to emulate this on Android??
Hi, you could try downloading 'SMS Popup' from the market. In the notifications settings there should be an option to turn the screen on when a message is recieved. New texts will appear in their own window, but when you dismiss them they will still appear in the notifications tray.
Looks like that will do the job, thankyou!
Or handcent if you want more features/skins etc.

Hi,
I have searched and searched, and all I have come up with are apps to install that will basically lock the screen. Im looking for something that I can do to have my phone vibrate, ring, when an SMS is received, but I dont want the phone to wake up from sleep. Preferably not a separate application. When my phone is in my pocket I will receive a text and it will dial peoples numbers, push buttons because the screen is then lit up and becomes active. I simply want the phone to stay asleep when a text is received.
I have tried the regedit addition that some X1/Diamond users have been using:
[HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:1
but it still does not work for me on my TytnII.
Any ideas?

Search for s2u2. I use it and when you recieve a text your phone lights up but unable to dial numbers or buttons being pressed due to your phone being "locked" by s2u2. It's a great program by A_C and has the ability to show you current weather, custom picture and even works in landscape mode. If you enjoy his program please donate something to him...Hope this helps.
Do you have your notification options set to display a message? I THINK I saw once where you could turn that part off and it would beep, but not wake the display.
Might be wrong though.
Ya, i have already tried turning off the notification message, the phone will still light up and wake up from sleep
Just got the HTC touch pro 6850 from US cellular last week (had a HTC 6800 before). This new phone is great and I like the Touchflo3D screen, but I want to have the alert messages on the bottom of the screen like the 'classic' screen has (they would stay on the softkeys on the bottom until you dealt with them). The ones where I have to dismiss them before it goes away. Is there a 3rd party app that will do this? I've loaded Diamond TF3D Config, Diamond Tweak and Fabliv Action Screen 9 and none of these seem to have an open to get the alerts back.
Also is there an issue with this phone missing calls? I seem to get a lot of voicemails but the phone never rang.
Thanks for you help
i am afraid that in touchflo3d you wont get sms alerts on screen. For a that you can install s2u2 latest edition . it has a wonderful display of sms on screen even of miss calls and reminders. If you havent insatalled S2U2 u r missing something great with Windows Mobile.

Thanks! This is definately a keeper.
Maybe I'm missing this but it only seems to let me see the previews of the tasks and calander reminders when the screen is locked. If i click on the e-mail or SMS reminder icon it doesn't open a preview window. Is there a way to turn on previews for them?
Hi there:
Is there a way to make it so the screen turns on when I get a notification? The only thing that happens currently is a sound is played. I could have sworn when I first got it that the screen turned on as well. Any help would be great. Thanks!
I have a similar requirement and therefore would like to bring this issue up to seek for your help.
Whenever an SMS comes, there are a sound and a small icon of an envelop appearing at the top of the phone for about 1 ~ 2 seconds. If the phone is with me then I know there is an SMS. Other cases i.e. when I am outside and leave my phone in my room, I will not know that I have SMS on my phone until I open the message application (as there is no notification like missed call)!
Can anyone let me know how to set the SMS icon (the small yellow envelop) remaining on the notification bar until I open and read the SMS?
Thanks in advance.
have you tried NOLED ?
Yes, searched and installed NoLED from Market. This application is greate, it satisfies my requirements!
Many thanks to AllGamer and all xda-developers!
Hey guys, sorry if this has already been posted, i know double posts are silly and a waste of time, but the search function isn't working right now and my phone is driving me nuts haha
okay, i just got this captivate, i came from an HTC Desire to this phone, and when i got a message on my desire, it just made the sound and the indicator light came on. now i know the captivate doesn't have an indicator LED, but is there a way to stop this screen from turning on everytime. i use the no lock app and when it turns on in my pocket i start swyping.. hahah
oh, and this battery notifcation thing where it plays my notification sound super loud at 3 in the morning beside my head while i sleep.. can i turn that stupid option off too??
thanks in advance!
For the SMS notifications, I would try installing the app called ""SMS Pop Up".
You can control much more options for SMS notifications that way. But after you download it, make sure you disable the normal SMS notifications under:
SMS app> menu button>settings> notifacation
This is so the phone won't send you two notifications on two different apps. (The SMS Pop Up app isn't really an SMS app itself, but you get what I mean).
As for the battery notification, I would have no idea... Most of the custom roms I've tried have battery full notifications turned off as a default (cos it's pointless and stupid).
Yeah i noticed a lot of roms have it disabled, if your just rooted and dont' do roms does any one know what you do to disable it?
Is it editing a database or something?
For the battery notification, you can put your phone on silent out just turn notification volume all the way down otherwise I don't know, it isn't present in the froyo update
Your welcome
Now you say/press thanks

For SMS notifications I would use NoLED, not sms pop up. For not hearing the full battery notification I would use sound manager to turn off notification sound at the time you desire
Thanks peeps

hello everyone,
Just got my htc one in silver, loving the phone. One thing tho.when a txt message comes through it just makes a sound and the LED notfication light shows which is fine. Iam just wondering does the the screen light up when i receive a message or does it stay black? is there anything in the options? i cant seem to find anything.
does the screen wake up when a text comes through or does the screen stay black?
Screen doesn't wake. You can use a third party app like Go SMS though if i's important.
im sure there is an option to wake the scren up
i use gosms pro though and that does it for me(just disable notifications etc)
Just confirming that there isn't an option. A third party app has to be used.
