Hi,
I am having issues with my SMS notification. Since a few days when I receive an SMS the notification doesn't dissapear after I read the SMS.. Anyone knows a solution for this problem? (I can't find anything on google.. Maybe I'm using the wrong keywords, I don't know.. )
Cheers,
Trinorae
I used to have a problem where the lights would keep glowing after reading - is that what you are experiencing?
I haven't seen this since flashing to MoDaCo 2.2 however when I used to occur I found back'ing out of the messages app and then back in seemed to clear it...or something like that.
I experience the 'keep-flashing-light' problem now and then, but I suppose that's just some kind of a bug (that always dissapears by itself) I don't think it is linked with my problem. My problem is that the notification itself stays in the notification-window after reading the SMS.
When I had this problem I had to drag down the notifications page from the top of the screen and then drag it back up again (clicking on "clear notifications" if it was there). That seemed to stop the light, but it's not the best work around and may not work in all cases...
As I said the light is not my problem.. It's the notification itself that doesn't disappear.. And I can indeed remove it manually, but that's not how it is supposed to work, so I want to know whether there is someone who knows how to fix this. (And not the light-problem..)
Apologies for misunderstanding your comment "I experience the 'keep-flashing-light' problem now and then" to mean that you had a problem with the light!
The reason I mentioned the light is that I personally believe that it is linked to the problem you are describing. In my experience (and I believe I have read this elsewhere too) the light in the trackball will only flash as a notification for a short period (you don't mention which light you mean, the trackball or the small led above the screen, so I'm making an assumption). I have noticed that the trackball will continue to flash for a pre-set period (10 minutes maybe?) or until a notification is cleared. Reading a message should indeed clear the notification, but sometimes it does not. When reading the message doesn't clear the notification then the light will continue to pulse as if the message had not been read.
You originally requested a solution to your problem - a solution is to click on "clear notifications". This is not ideal, granted, but unfortunately I have been unable to find a better alternative without any further details...
Which ROM are you using for a start? I have not noticed this problem again since upgrading.
I had the standard ROM, rooted it and then installed the upgraded ROM from HTC (and haven't rooted it since..). I think the problem only started after that HTC-upgrade, but I'm not sure. It's possible that it's as you described that the lights keep flashing too when the notification isn't cleared, but I don't know. I always notice the notification not disappearing after I read an SMS. (So I don't check whether the trackball is flashing or not..) Anyway: I suppose there is no known solution then.. That's a pitty.. Najah, just thought I'd better ask it here first before giving up..
Thx anyway
I have this problem too on my htc desire z.
I have to delete the sms group to make that notification disappeared. Bad one!
Does anyone know why froyo has this bug?

It usually pops up in the middle of the night and can be pretty annoying. Any way to disable it?
Currently there is no full fix. This is the closest I have gotten: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748400&highlight=battery+popup
Why remove it? I find it very useful, nvm read wrong
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
yeah this is very annoying... has there been further development of a fix(REMOVE!) for this?!?!
If you have JI6 update already applied you will notice that they changed that annoying pop up to a simple notification which shows up in the status bar when battery is fully charged.
That is definitely an improvement for me.
Definitely NOT an improvement for me. I need to be able to be alerted at night when an SMS message comes in when I am on call, and really don't want to be woken up because my battery is charged. There really should have been a way to disable the it alone, not move it to something if you disable, you no longer will hear SMS, alarms, event,... notifications.
This worked for me. Read through all of the threads so you are confident what to do. Main thing is to flash the correct one and wipe the cache and dalvik-cache first.

I did find a good way to get around this problem, at least for me. Set the global Notification ringtone to Silent, then change the Ringtone on Messaging to something you want for texts and same for email. Then the battery charge won't make a sound, and I will still be notified on text messages and/or emails.
The only 'solution' I've found is to do as others have said, disable generic notification sounds, and in applications-development set it so screen does not stay on while charging. The popup still happens, but there's no sound and the screen times out after my setting of 2 minutes. This is lame because when I use it in the car for music, plugged in, I want the screen to stay on all the time. Epic 4g
I have a stock Vibrant running 2.1. I like to have audible notifications for text messages, etc., but not for new emails. I get a lot of email at all hours and I prefer not to hear my notification tone multiple times a night in the wee hours whenever a new junk message comes in. So, is there a fix for this on a stock phone? I've looked through the Settings: if there's something there to manage the various types of notifications separately, I've missed it. Any suggestions other than turning notification sound off completely?
I thought this was a pretty basic question when I posted it. Out of all the smart folks who hang out here, nobody knows the answer?
go through the settings on your email app and turn off notifications or select your ringtone as "silent" for the app
or u can use "no led " app and use its features to silent wht u want..

Thanks a lot (and my light sleeper of a wife thanks you). The fix seems obvious when you mention it, but I'm not sure it would ever have dawned on me. That took care of my issue.

Thanks to you, as well. NoLED looks like a clever app, and I'll give it a try for certain notifications.
All,
My S4 non-rooted stock Mk2 has recently started playing the notification sound and vibration without there being an actual notification in the bar. No New e-mails or texts are coming in when this happens and nothing new in the apps being updated.
How can I track it down? It appears at random times not on any discernible pattern.
I'm pulling my hair out looking for what is causing this. Has anyone else seen this kind of behavior? Is it app related? If so what app?
I have Facebook notifications turned off, and I've not installed any new apps around the time this behavior began.

I've never experienced that myself, but I'd probably start by assigning different apps to different notification colours. (assuming the issue also causes the notification light to turn on)
I think TouchWiz roms don't have that option, but an app or xposed module may be able to do it like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koo.lightmanager
Depending on how many apps you have, you could start by e.g. assigning half to red and half to green. Then when it happens you'll know which half contains the app causing it. Then you can split that half in half again, etc...

Hi,
I've got the Sony xperia M4 Aqua for a week now - so far so good .. but ..
the LED notification is not soo well adjusted (I think), because:
flashing for a blink of an eye (around 200 Millisecs) and then off for over 5000 Millisecs - its hard to see and u have to wait quite long for the next flash
so I would like to change this to, e.g. 2000 Millisecs on an 2000 Millisecs off .. I guess its not possible without an extra app, so I tried LED Blinker Pro (is it ok to mention apps? Which I used on my old phone)
the settings for the different colors on different notifications works, but the settings for the flash intervall doesnt do anything to the LED
anybody else experience this or has an other app which does the job?
secondly - missed calls:
At the moment I dont get a single sign that I missed a call. I dont get a message on the lockscreen or the notification bar!
Where can I put the notification on?
Thanks
Nobody else annoyed about that short blinking behavior?
Yeah I was searching for an answer for a long time but I gave up, no app could change the flashing frequency and default settings make the led light useless to me. Someone has any ideas?

did u just search for an app or did u try some apps? and if u tried, which have u tried?
there are apps that are supposed to be able to change the flashing frequency, like the mentioned LED Blinker, but on our M4 aqua it doesnt seem to work
I tried led blinker, light flow and light manager, eveything worked beside this freaking flashing. I really lost hope but I cant give up cause this drives me crazy, maybe root will help?

these 3 apps I tried too. no change in flashing behaviour contacted LED Blinker Support, but no tipp worked for the M4 and it seems too less people complain about it, so the developer doesnt do a research by now
hoping new firmware or root will do the trick
...
over two months later, but still nothing changed
maybe if more people complain / react e.g. in this thread, the developer of the apps will see that there is need to do sth
this thread has over 1.300 views, so it seems to border more then just two or three people ...
i'd like to start a voting, but unfortanetly afterwards a thread is open, its not possible to add a voting, or is it?
Well, sometimes I don´t like the short flashes, too. But overally, would you like your LED to flash like a police car? You can catch that blink if you look at your phone for less than 5 sec, what more do you want?
Therefore, I like its behaviour and I do not think it would be changeable without root, or maybe with it. Who knows.

Now that we have root access, someone tried methods involving rooting? This led notification needs change.
to be accurate its off for 6 seconds and flashes so shortly, that it is hard to recognize the color ..
of course I dont want a "stroboscope flashing" :silly: ! But a shorter off-time and a longer on-time, e.g. 2 secs on - 2 secs off, would be very helpfull ..
which timing anybody prefers its up to him (4 secs on - 1 sec off, or 10 secs on - 3 secs off - thats not the point) .. the point is, that it is not changeable .. and with other phones its possible and I think the apps don't even require root on other phones to work, correct me if i'm wrong.
Hi,
I got a rooted M4 Aqua and I tried about 10 different apps to get this changed, but no luck.
I think that the notification led is a very helpful tool. Now 6 seconds (even 5) to check, it's not ideal or practical at all (when you're driving, walking). Plus it blinks for 200ms or so which makes it very . This makes the users forget about the notification led and just switch the screen on. I see there's a lot of views on this but nothing changes.
I'm going to try a custom ROM because this Sony firmware is getting on my nerves. Such a good phone and the software is really making it have bad reputation.

exactly, thanks for the feedback :good: over 2.000 views now .. so its seems to bother people .. hopefully someday someone will find the solution for this ...
I've found the way to add a vote/poll .. 2.400 views too late, but better than never
Anything new? I didn't even find solution from xposed modules.
Hey, this issue is a real problem for me. Any progress been made on this? I'm within my 14 day return period for my M4, and I'm almost considering switching it for something else just because of this.
I agree with this. Had a Xperia SP before and it was like a christmas tree but usefull.
Not really concerned about the frequency of the led light. Mine doesnt even flash at all. It would turn on when charging or when the bettery is low. But thats about it. installing 3rd party apps might consume my battery faster so i leave it as it is.
As of today the light no longer even blinks. It is only functional as a charging indicator. The notification LED option is still enabled in Settings > Sound & Notification. I'm probably going to switch the M4 for a C4. I'm definitely not to the point of losing faith in Sony yet though, despite the additional heat issues which are another story.

Nope, there is no progress in this issue ... even the developer of LED blinker pro can't or don't want do anything
hopefully android 6 will change sth ..
Since updating to Oreo, every so often (maybe once and hour) a notification sound goes off for apparently no reason. I have notification reminders off so it's not that. I've turned off most notifications as well, except for important ones like sms or email. It's annoying and if sounds are off and vibrate turned on it will vibrate instead but still nothing on the status bar. Does anyone know what's going on and/or how I can solve this annoyance?
Yes Im experiencing this as well. It seems like it may be related to gmail but I'm not sure. The new notification settings are confusing and don't seem to work at least for that app.
I may have found the reason. The new power saving "feature" may be the culprit. It seems to sound an alert every time it sleeps an app not whitelisted. Probably one of the stupidest pieces of coding ever. I caught a notification in the bar of like an ekg line when it happened. But get this it immediately disappears. So if you dont catch it you have now idea why you're being alerted. Go in to maintenance and switch all off or whatever you think is appropriate and it should stop. However the random vibration alerts I can't figure out. Ill get them for apps I dont have them set for but sporadically like instagram. And then on next sms which I have it specifically set notvto vibrate. Hope this helps.

I think I may have a clue: I have a Gear Fit. My Note 8 vibrates when it sends an alert to my Gear Fit.
In my case, because I can hardly notice the notification vibration on my Gear Fit, but hear it clearly when my Note 8 is resting on a hard surface, it took me a while to make the connection.
Now to find a way to disable this behavior....
My S8 sends me a text notification EVERY morning at 3:49 AM!!!! There is never a text message. I have turned off everything that I can but it still keeps happening! HELP

theres an app called "notification history" that will track it for you. Might be the charger full indication.
Check my previous threads.
