Hi, all! Did any of you know that there is a notification light near the power button? Behind the silver casing. I realized this when i ported whatsapp to the tablet and i got a mesaage from my friend. Does anyone know this? I dont know why it only blinked with whatsapp.
If i helped you, click the thanks button!
Yeah i found this out when i got a new email (flashes green) and a facebook notification (flashes blue)
Seriously, doesn't anyone RTFM anymore?
Sadly i haven't found a way to disable this sucker yet. Darn thing lights up my room at night if i get an email. Anybody have a clue as to how we can kill this? NS Tools is not able to sadly.

Turn the sucker off... :silly:
Or try something light Light Flow (Lite) - LED Control from Play.
Chur
I use Lightflow Light also. That ultra bright LED sucks battery down to zero overnight....

I remember there's an option to turn on the notification light when setting up an email account in the device. You can try deleting the account and add it back to deactivate the light.

The notification LED turns on only when the tablet is in sleep mode (screen is off) and Wi-Fi is connected so the tablet can sync/receive email, Gmail, etc., when it is in sleep mode. To disable the notification LED while the tablet is in sleep mode, change the table's Wi-Fi disconnect policy to "When screen turns off" which causes the tablet to not sync/receive email when the tablet is in sleep mode.
Another option is to completely power off the tablet. If you do not want to be notified that you have a new email message while you are trying to go to sleep, then why have the tablet powered on?

The notification LED will still be on to give alert there is new email when the Wi-Fi disconnect policy is set to "When screen turns off". At least that is my case!

The tablet cannot sync/receive email if its Wi-Fi is disconnect, so all I can say is double check your tablet's settings. If the Wi-Fi is disconnected and your tablet is still receiving email, then I suspect witchcraft is involved.

Yes maybe
Sometimes notification led blinks before I switch on my tablet from idle and I can see Wi-Fi is reconnecting at the lower right hand corner when turning on my device

Received a email and then the notification light came on, I have also looked at the specs before I got the device.

Just disable Wifi at night. Why would you need your emails while sleeping when you can just turn wifi on in the morning and check them in 5 secs..

I'm running latest firmware (2.1.4) on an A101IT and have an issue with Deep Sleep. If I put the A101IT into Deep Sleep two times, after waking it up the second time the device runs extremely slow. It appears to be unresponsive but actually does respond if given time. Can anyone who is having Deep Sleep problems duplicate this? Aside from an Archos firmware fix, does anyone know of a way to fix this issue? Thanks.
UPDATE: I installed a terminal emulator, ran top and when the A101IT returns from Deep Sleep the second time, /usr/sbin/audiomixer is taking 95% of the CPU. Looks like that is the culprit but I'm still not sure how to fix it.
[SOLVED] Deep Sleep issue
I think I found a solution...since /usr/sbin/audiomixer was taking all the CPU time I started poking around in Settings->Sound. There is a setting there called "Screen lock sounds" which I had checked. So I unchecked that setting and have been able to go in and out of Deep Sleep without any problems. Hope this helps someone. Sure hope Archos reads this forum too!
Just an off topic question but related to deep sleep.
Does the power led turn off when you put your device into deep sleep?

Too bad then mine is broken. Even just after doing a full device reset and flashing any firmware and no other apps installed the led stays on all the time.

For me, the LED only turns off after I leave my Archos idle for a while until the screen turns off.
If I press power button to put it into deep sleep, the LED is still on.

Sorry, the LED does turn off after I press the power button, but take some time to.
My USB host functions, but not for all thumbdrives.

When you press the power button, did you turned off WiFi or enabled flymode?

Wifi was off.
I tried the airplane mode but no go.
Remember this was a firmware install with nothing added no extra apps nothing.
I'v done this with 2.0.71 and 2.1.04 and always got the same result no sleep deep or otherwise.

When I turn airplane mode on and put the device in deep sleep the led stays on. In every other case the led turns off.
I cant figure out why my phone keeps blinking its notification light. Any one have an idea why?
Most likely a rogue app acting up.
ok thanks for the response
If I may add to this topic without creating a new one, how come my blinking light for notifications will stop after about a minute or so? I recieved some texts but didn't know it until I manually turned my screen on. So I sent myself an email, and it blinked for a minute or so, then stopped. Is this normal?
i actually think that is suppose to happen. Ever htc phone i have had has a certain duration of the notification light blinking and then it will turn off. the only phone i have ever had it go on until i checked the notification is my old droid. i was apply to on the galaxy nexus, but had to use an app to make it work. Light flow is the app

It's actually 5 minutes I think, at least on my phone it is. It is my biggest complaint with Sense and why I switched to cyanogenmod on my evo shift. It would be the one reason I would switch to the GS3 if I had to think of a reason since there are nice solutions that use an amoled screen for notifications that will not time out like that. (an app called noLed, doesn't work well unless you use amoled))
Anyway, it must be coded real deep because I've never seen a dev fix it or even hardly mention it and people have complained about it for years.
It really makes the notification light kind of worthless.
There are some apps like light flow that in theory can fix it but lightflow doesn't work for me when my sound is turned on with this phone so it's worthless right now. Missed reminder might be able to help as well but I haven't had a chance to try it.
Unrelated, but does anyone know how to disable the bright green light when battery is charged? lol
I'm running stock, and I've found the screen won't automatically turn off while charging. 53 seconds after last touching the screen it will dim (when not charging it turns off at 60 seconds as it should), but will never turn off or lock as long as it is plugged in.
I've only installed these apps: audible, Facebook, pandora, speed test, and swift key. All updates installed.
This problem even happens after a battery pull at the lock screen before I've touched the phone, it just dims the lock screen.
There is an option in settings somewhere for "Keep screen awake while charging".
On ICS its in the development submenu - I can't remember exactly where it was on GB..
If you use a power control widget, you can change the screen timeout options.
I recommend Power Controls by Painless Death.

Best free widget I've found.
Or just press the lock/power button manually once phone is plugged in?

Great thanks! I found it under applications/development. Verizon sent me a new phone today because they didn't know how to stop it, sad.

LOL. Oh well, it will just get sold to someone else in a few months! No big loss.
When i receive a new e-mail message the LED doesn't get lit up. It's a hotmail.com account.
The only time i ever see the LED being lit up is when it's charging.

In Settings > Display is "Notification light" unchecked? If it is, check it, that will enable the notification light to flash from different alerts rather than just be tied to the batter. When I get an email (hotmail as well) it flashes white.

It was..
But now it seems to work, or then i missed it because the LED is so weak and it flashes with such a long interval. I expected it to be on constantly.
I've searched everywhere on how to do this but can't find anything -- When your screen is off and you get a text the screen turns on...Where is the setting to turn this off??? My notification LED is enough for me to know I have a message, don't need my screen always turning on.

I don't have my edge yet, in the mail so I can't tell you on the stock messenger app, but on my current phone i use the app Textra (which is great, I highly recommend trying it out) and in the notification settings there is an option specifically for this. Can set it to turn the screen on when receiving a text or leaving it off. there is also an option to turn the screen on except when the phone is set to silent.

I just posted this same question, I've turned off the setting in the message app to "turn off pop up display" but the screen still turns on with a pop up message...I don't know what's going on lol.
I've been through the settings a dozen times. There doesn't seem to be a way to stop this from happening on stock messenger. I can confirm that using a 3rd party (I use go sms) stops it from happening once you set it as default messenger.

Yeah. I ended up getting Textra before you posted this - liking the customizable options so far. I've always used GoSMS in the past and Hangouts but this one is a bit cleaner.

Double confirming this. With Samsung's Messages app the screen turns on for me, as it did when I had the S3, though it's more bearable now that I can unlock the S6 with my fingerprint. Using Verizon's Message+ screen does not turn on. This is really the only strike against Messages for me. Message+ is a little more sophisticated, but not as clean looking. I think I still prefer Messages because it's cleaner and I like the vibration notification better (two short bursts instead of one long). Again, the screen turning on isn't a deal breaker for me because the phone stays locked without my fingerprint.
solution
This issue is because Samsung put in their own text messenger called messages rather than using the Google made one called messenger while using the same icon. You can download the original messenger off of the Google Play Store just search messenger and look for the one by Google. Once you switch to the one by Google that should not turn your screen on anymore, you may have to change a setting to make it that way. Since I installed it haven't had the issue at all.

go on to notification settings, scroll to messages, turn off allow notifications.
then go on messages app. click more then settings then notifications and turn the setting off.
the screen will no longer light up when you get a message.
the LED will flash though so you know. also if you use nova you can set the badge app notification so it will show when you receive a message but again the screen will stay off.
