Hi all I was wondering if anyone has found a way or an app/tweak so that notifications don't turn the screen on on the device when receiving notifications such as text messages? I find this highly annoying coming from android devices like the Nexus One and Motorola Milestone. I have found nowhere for this option. I use Handcent as my default sms app and i have the Bell i9000 if that helps. Thanks!

Tasker can do it.
A fellow-teammember created an app for that sorta thing:

Ok I downloaded tasker but looks very complex. Any idea or heads up for how I can go about the screen not turning on when handcent message comes in?

Thats weird... me its on sms and its highly annoying because I have unlock. Even with the options in Handcent to not turn on the screen it turns on. Tried the default sms app and same thing. Maybe is ADW Launcher? I'll try with the Samsung launcher to see...
ok so it does same thing with Samsung launcher as well. This is annoying! Does everyone else's screen turn on when they receive SMS? I tried noLED as well but screen turns on before it goes to the noLED screen.
Yes, but that's a good thing for me - otherwise I wouldn't know I had a notification if the phone is on my desk?

Yeah that's definitely true. I guess I will stop using the application called Unlock. This app was cool because it gets rid of the lock screen but its annoying to have your screen turn on while its in your pocket and there is no lock. I guess it's something I will have to live with.
Does anyone know how to make the lower buttons, back, menu, search, and home buttons not light up when I receive a message our missed call while using the NoLED app?

I don't believe there is that option within the NoLED app. The BLN has to be built into the Kernel I believe.... I'm sure there will soon enough be a supporting Kernel for this as there is much support for the Galaxy series phones and this sort of thing. As I am not a dev I have no idea how easy/hard it would be but I cant wait
The op was trying to turn the lights off not on. As far as I know it just needs to be updated for gingerbread/ns so that the bottom lights don't turn on. You can follow the original app thread here. It looks like the dev won't be working on it til after the holidays.

As in the camera flash? Well if your phone is laying on it, that probably doesn't work too well
Plus that LED is bright. Not sure what it's power requirements are compared to using NoLED.

That's what Back Light Notification (BLN) is and it needs a supporting kernel to be ported over.
Didn't want to start a whole new thread just to ask a question, but for whatever reason, NoLED doesn't work for me. I'm on Android 2.3.1 running stock (not LP or AWD). I've read the FAQ and I believe I have everything set up correctly. I call myself and miss it and I've emailed myself (different accounts) to test it, but I don't get anything on my black screen.
SOS?

did you use the widget to turn it on or restart the phone? personally i don't like it, i had my phone fully charged and had about 4 notifications bouncing around, not sure if thats a lot but it drained my battery to 16% in about 3 hours.

Did you go into NoLed settings and under "Toggle Settings" checked off the notifications you want?

Yeah my battery also feels like it's draining quickly put I never thought our was because if this, since they say it's good for these types of screens, but note I'm thinking it may be this app. What other alternatives exist to get some sort if notifications for the nexus s?

I honestly doubt its the app. Blacks on SAMOLED consume nearly 0 power.
Check your apps power consumption under Menu > Settings > About Phone > Battery Use.

My phone says 53% display. It can't ber because I haven't even used my phone the whole day, yet I know I had some notifications with noled.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Display will always be the highest under almost every circumstance, regardless if you had the app or not.
If anything is higher than display, I'd be super concerned.

I use noled on my Nexus S and it works fine for all notifications except twitter for some reason,no noticeable drain on battery with this app!

Yes to both. I have the widget set to "on," restarted my phone, and before, made sure all the settings were correct.
Still, nothing shows up after sending myself emails and giving myself calls (didnt' pick up, of course).
Doesn't seem to work; I'm running 2.3.1 with stock launcher.
Just read the FAQ. It's the "No Lock" app that's preventing NoLED from functioning. That's a shame because sometimes when I'm at home, I dislike having to swipe or enter my pattern key to unlock the phone.
NoLED works fine now. Thanks y'all.
NoLED keeps force-closing on me! So annoying. Anything else similar that works entirely on NS?

It's forced closed on me a few times as well.
I'm finding I don't really need NoLED. I prefer having No Lock capabilities. Oh well.

Hi Everyone!
I'm wondering whether there's an alternative to noLED? Unfortunately I don't have an AMOLED Screen so the battery will drain way too fast and it doesn't look particularly good. Still, I like how noLED supports basically all applications.
I would like to have timed reminder for certain chat apps (Kakao Talk) and maybe the EMail Client K-9. This should be a vibration or sound-altert.
I have been looking around but I can't really find an application that does exactly that. It seems like noLED could do it as well but it will also use the Screen?
Correct me if I'm wrong.
I hope for your input.
Thanks!
Well if you use a kernel that supports bln, youu get the lights for the back home tc buttons to light up or flash, saving battery. Try netarchy kernel for example.

Ahh, thank you!
I've been crazy after going from my HTC Desire with LED notification to the Nexus S with no LED notfication. Have been using NOled, but don't like it.
Is there any ROM that support that "lights for the back home tc buttons to light up or flash" ?
As stone mentioned, you would just have to check if your kernel, or the kernel packaged in whichever rom supports BLN. For nexus s 4G, netarchy's is the only one I know of.
Get Tasker. If you have basic programming experiance, or can at least figure out stuff, you can make all kinds of stuff with it.
I made something that repeats the notification sound every 10 seconds until the screen is woken. You can make it for specific notifications. I have one for google voice, and gmail.

So once I have flashed netarchy's kernel, how do I enable the home button notifications on the stock rom? Or should it just work?

Ever since the Captivate (and other Galaxy S phones? not too sure) got updated to froyo the option for "Vibrate on Notification" has been gone. Is it possible to put that option back into the newer MMS.apks? I used to use the "Vibrate Tools" app from the market to use my own vibrate patterns but since that option has been gone the pattern mixes up with the TouchWiz messaging app pattern.
I believe the aosp mms has it, cause I'm using samsung's right now, and it doesn't vibrate. But samsung can easily delete selected texts

Indeed it does but I liked using the stock TW version. So I was wondering if it was possible to do that on it..

Wait, what? My phone vibrates when I get texts and always has. Is there any reason why you don't want it set globally? As in, settings > sound > Vibrate set to Always?

You might just have to ask the app developer if he can look into it. Otherwise not sure.

Hmm.. yeah most likely. Well thanks for all the help.
Is there a way to have the screen turn on when I get a notification? More specifically an email. I did notice in the Roms section there are tweaks to have SMS screen on.
There are apps in the play store that will allow this but they all require the accessibility settings to be turned on which affects how the lock screen works so looking for a way to do this without using an app.
Thanks

You'll either need a different rom or an app, it might be added by an HTC update at some point but I haven't read anything about it. I think HTC thought the notification light was good enough...
I use sms popup for texts. There is an app called notify me in the play store, that if you purchase the pro version you can set up different apps to have the screen turn on. The free version only allows sms.

Hopefully it has been noticed by HTC and it will get updated. The light whilst good is sometimes hard to see.

Trickdroid is pretty sweet and stable plus they have wake on sms and you'll get the update that hasn't come to a lot of stateside folks yet. That was a weird feature not to get though, I came from IOS and thought all phones integrated it these days

Yes I've put Trickdroid on it and allows a lot of customization which is great. I too came from iOS as that was just getting a bit dull and samey!! However I do miss how good it was at the notifications...
I do like this HTC One phone though...:good:
