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..

brilliant app just for vibrant

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.
movieaddict-
Thanks to you, as well. NoLED looks like a clever app, and I'll give it a try for certain notifications.
Hi Guys,
I was wondering if the Notification band around the bottom of the Xperia S can be halted from flashing notifications at me. I am aware there has been a question regards the Notification LED at the top of the handset but this is not what I mean.
There are times I would like to retain some privacy, like, the whole point of being able to put a phone on silent?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
d.
Do you mean the notification band below the keys? The transparent strip?
Does it blink/flash for notifications on your Xperia S?
How did you enable it? I have an european Xperia S and the notification does ONLY work with the notification Led on the top of the phone.
Yep, How did you enable it?
Mine only blinks when there is an incoming call (not for telling me I've missed call) and when I plug it into the charger, it blinks thrice. That's about it

It's the flashing when receiving an incoming call, I would like to be able to ignore calls while not showing the whole room I am doing so
I would like it if it were possible to have the transparent strip flash when either there is a missed call or email notification rather than the little led.
Anyone know if this is possible?

Discussed to death. Why do we have to repeat over and over and over and over again?
Post a link rather than being funny about it!
It's not my thread but just asked the question as it was kind if in line with what op was asking.

Agreed. One thing I dislike about this community is how ready people are to shout down mistakes. Either point to the existing discussion or STFU

Hi,
I created an app that will let an Xperia S/P/U light up the illumination bar when there is an unread SMS or a missed call.
Available at Google Play if you search for "Illumination Bar Notification"
link
For U model there is multi color support, and for S/P there is only the one color supported by the hardware.
The LEDs can either blink at various speeds or have a constant light.
There is an option to stop the light when the screen is unlocked or keep blinking until the SMS has been read or the call has been acknowledged.
I have only an Xperia U to develop on, but it has been tried on S/P as well.
If you have any problems let me know and I'll try to fix it.
Thanks to user sl1nk3 that figured out there was an API we can use.
-------------
*** Running on custom ROMs ***
If you run CyanogenMod or other firmware not from sony you may need to install additional libraries for this app to work.
First option: IlluminationReceiver
This solution works for all devices with illumination bar (S/P/U/SP) and does not require any sony libs at all:

This is just what I've been waiting for. Thanks a lot! Will try it now
Edit. Working great! In a future update, could you add the feature to disable it after a pre-set time? Believe it will drain battery after some time

This is nice. Could you make it blink? and can you make it for email as well?
Thanks very much.
Good man I was waiting on an app like this.
edit:
can you add an option to leave the illumination light always on when the screen is on. I like to have it on when it is dark so that I can see where the buttons are. Thanks
only white colour :-(

It has option to blink already.
There is no standard android way for apps to be notified for incoming e-mails, so adding e-mail support would likely mean having to implement a full e-mail client.
Maybe there is another way, but not that I know of.

That is probably doable, but I think it would be best to have that in its own app, since it is not related to notifications
Dude!!! I'm Not Gay, But I LOVE YOU!!! U Gave The Proper Meaning Of Sony's This STYLE ICON!!!
These are the things I would like to have for future update!!!
1-Stop the blinking after certain time period (for battery backup)
2-Notification for
A-CHARGE COMPLETE (as this wont drain the battery,and keep it cool)
B-Whatsapp notification
3-Please change the icon of this app (add a cool one for this cool phone)
4-Low rate of blinking should be much lower I think (like each blink after 5 sec)
5-If its possible blink in different style (disco,rhythmic...etc)
THANK YOU AGAIN, I REALLY LOVE TO SEE THIS IS INSTALLED WITHOUT MODDING OR ROOTING MY PHONE!!!
THANK YOU!!!
The app is pretty buggy for me.
sometimes it works "lighting up" but sometimes it doesnt even light up and instead it makes my screen lights up -.-
i like it when my screen is pitch black when i receive something.
please fix and will reconsider downloading.
thankyou
I would love to see the source code for this if you would like to release it. I had been working on a version of it myself, but I only just started android programming.
Also if you need a cool icon I can make you one. PM me
id just figured out whats the bug is.
1) a- it doesnt light up when you check "stop light when screen is unlocked"
the screen goes on and the led strip stops flashing.
b- and sometimes it doesnt light up until the second msg comes in or calls
c- overtime when just received a text or two the screen turns on as well as the led strip lights up, then somehow the screen turns on like every 10 secs or so. (not receiving anything)
2) like i said before please make the screen stay off when receiving any notifications. my screen goes on after i installed this app.
3) please include whatsapp and email for it.
thankyou really appreciate your work here. well done
Oh looks so great!, i thank you for this kind of worf as other request i dont want integration with other apps, just that the led stops blinking after a certain time
Looks great, but as the notification bar isn't very bright I would also like to see the notification LED continuing to blink as well.
Also, would be great if emails can be included.
Thx man, continue to develop it for more stuff (not only msg, and calls).
I will consider some donation then ;-)

Not sure why but it does nothing until I unlock the screen.

Thanks for this! Works great!
Great app man!!
In the future, could it be possible to have custom flash rate? I think even the "slow" setting is quite fast.
Suprised this feature was left out at launch. But thankyou for this app!
Works great!

Great app! Really something that should have been there from the start!
What I would like to change are the following:
* no screen turn on when you receive an sms or call
* email support (for some)
* timeout - after the timeout it would switch to the notification led it's using now.
I'm not sure yet, but does the low battery standard notification still work? Or do you have to turn it off completly for this to work?
In a way a really like to think that this should only be used for calls, messages and emails.. maybe even not emails.. It should diferentiate itself from other notifications.. so this could only be used for those that you have to instanlty reply.. like messages and calls.. But I would still use the blue notifications for facebook, green for emails and red/orange for low battery. I think that this is how both things should work together.
Really great, light and cool app!!
But like some guys, my screen turn on when I receive an SMS
Moreover, sometimes the vibrations bugs: normaly, it's like "brrrrr, brrrrr" but sometimes I have "brr..." so in my pocket, it's not really noticiable
Hello,
I'd pretty much love better appearance of LED, isn't there a way to make it blink also for SMS or mails?
And to make it blink longer than 5 mins...
Thanks!
im afraid the answer is no maybe I can look in the registry if I can find something there,
and after searching the registry the answer is still no
Damn, thans anyway, maybe someone would figure it out one day...
Guys, you probably recognized, the included HD Audio recorder app diplays a bright pink notification bar when its recording in the background. Along with its notification.
this is probably a replacement for the blinking led that phones use when backgoung recording, for so called "privacy reasons"
now I need to record important meetings which may involve having to show stuff ON THE PHONE to ppl I talk to, while also recording said conversation.
i dont need this intrusive notification during that!
I managed to get rid by turning off the notification in place for the app itself.
Then only an android notification will appear that the app is working in the background, kinda okay with that.
My question: would this make the app prone to be stopped by android system and by that loosing the recording or cutting it short?
Thx for any info on that, sorry im new to Oreo, i know that in the past hiding notifications by certain apps could make them prone to be stopped.
thx :highfive:
ps: plz dont derail the thread by lamenting is this okay to do or not. this involves talks with authorities which in my country must take complete responsibility by law for what they say. But in practice they usually dont want to. thank you.
