My wife just got a Droid 4 yesterday (5 Android device family!) and she is saying that the LED is not lighting when I text her. I am not familiar with Motorola phones. Does it have an LED, and does it need to be turned on in settings for notifications?

Of course it`s have LED - left upper corner, it`s not so big, but working just fine for me (SMS messages, e-mail, calendar notifications, etc...)
I never saw any special settings for notifications in general in the system, but you can go to the stock messaging application and see how you can change the style of notification.
Plus you can try Handcent SMS application from Google Play and see how it goes.

Thanks. I just hope it is not defective. I will let her know where to look.

Is her screen usually on or off? The LED only lights when the screen is off.

I got my N1 third-hand (would you believe it), and am simply blown away by it. I came over from a Nokia 5530, where the touch menu button would light up every few minutes. Is it possible to do this on the N1, at least while the screen is on?
I'm running Cyanogen Mod 6 RC3, and I've ticked the option where the LED works as a breathing light, but it isn't. Please help me, I'm new to all this.
Umm yes go into settings, cyan settings, UI, track ball, and you can set the track ball color for each individual app. So for me texts blink red, missed call blue, Twitter green, etc.
No no I know that and I love it. But is it possible to make the trackball light up every couple of minutes for no reason? It's no biggie, but I think it would make a nice touch.
Send yourself a text message and never clear it. =P

XD. That is one way to go about. I like the humour and friendliness in these forums. It's a great place for beginners like me to get aquainted with our phones.

Yeah I'm pretty sure you can have the track ball flash all the time for no reason. Did you check all the settings?
Edit: I thought I saw a setting for this but now I can't find it. Maybe it doesn't exist...?
There is a setting, but it doesn't seem to work. Then KIagain, I am getting poor battery life compared to my Nokia, so no breathing light is both a blessing and a curse

ive got the same problem, there is an option in in the ui settings that says always pulse, but it doesnt seem to work for some reason. does anyone know if there is a fix for this
There is a free app in the market called LED Disco that will flash your trackball any color you want(as long as the screen is timed out)
You pick the colors via settings. You can have it cycle thru all the colors as well.
It even kills itself when a notification comes in so the notification can take over the trackball color, and then turns itself back on when you clear the notification.

I just downloaded led disco, I am running it to see what happens to my battery life if it doesn't drain it horribly it'll be pretty cool to use on a regular basis
FWIW, whenever I forget to read emails and leave the LEF blinking, when I come back, the battery usage is much higher than the 0.5% I normally get and the battery usage screen claims the "display" has been hogging the power.
Hi all,
I've searched this forum over and over but can't seem to find anything.
Just wondering if its possible for the screen to wake up when a new notification arrives? I sit my phone up at an angle facing me at work whilst charging and keep missing messages.
Surely there's a way? It's a bit nuts it isn't default.
Cheers.
go to messages settings notification display message on screen
Where's the Notification setting? I don't see them in Setting menu

That appears to only be a "sent" or "send failure" comfirmation. It doesn't display a new received message. I don't see that option.
I am using this app notify me. After installing it, go to accessibility and turn it on and off 2 times. Should work

This app also works really well and you can choose which apps you want the screen to light up for

Hello everybody,
I've got a htc one from at&t, previously i had an iphone for years and i have few questions about android:
When i receive a text message the notification appears on my lockscreen and a led light blinks on, but the screen itself stays off. There is any way to get the screen to turn on automatically without touching the phone whenever there is a new notification?
Thanks
Ivan

For text messages I use an application called Textra and it has that feature. You can enable it in the application's settings. I am not sure if the stock Messaging application has that.

The pebble forums are horrible, so I thought i'd post here.
My Glance app is showing 5 notifications for text messages at all times. Any way to reset this?
And while I'm at it...
Notification Center sometimes reboots my pebble when trying to clear a notification and go back to Glance. Is this just a bug?
For Glance, you can do one of two things. Search through your history for unread text messages (I had to use the stock app), or set "Unread SMS Count from Tasker/Int..." to on.
I don't know anything about notification center. The fact that it doesn't display the full message keeps me from using it.

Thanks! I'll try the Tasker trick. I like notifications center bc it allows me to dismiss notifications on my phone. Is the any other way to achieve this?

So does Glance not clear notifications from the phone?
I was wondering if any one knew of an app that would blink the capacitive home screen button when you have a notification. I have looked around on the play store to no avail. I have never developed anything for android. I have got myself setup to begin designing an app that will basically turn the home button into a notification light while the screen is off. If anyone knows of an app that can do this or would like to help please let me know.

I know this is nothing even close to what you are looking for, but I found it useful on another phone that didn't have a notification led.

If you could update with what it was that you found usefull that would be great. Thanks. I am looking for anything close to posibly even take ideas from.
It shows a small icon on the screen for different notifications, which if I remember correctly are all customizable. So it's a persistent icon on the screen letting you know about missed calls, texts, unread emails, or whatever you set it up for. It only uses a tiny amount of screen, and therefore backlight. Back when the Android phones first came out a lot of them didn't have leds for notifications. I don't remember having a big hit on my battery at the time from the program.

Ill have to check it out. I have used a few like that and they didn't act right, made the screen act weird. Thanks for the suggestion.

I just got the Turbo today, and I will try it out too. I know it was a lifesaver when I had my Samsung Captivate.
A nudge or a wave shows moto display, I think it's the natural evolution of a notification led
I know but i wish it didn't. I have the wave turned off but i cant turn the nudge off. I only want it to display if there is a notification. If there is nothing it should just wait patiently. But that's just me.

Now see I'm the opposite I want it to show more like battery %. I don't wear a watch anymore and love active display for checking time.

NiLS in the Play Store will but notifications on the lockscreen... however you will have to disable Active Display and go with the normal lock screen.
