Hey guys, it there any way for the notification light to blink when you are charging the phone but have received a text message?
If I don't hear my phone while it's charging, I never know if I have a message or not.
Also, is there a way for the screen to wake up when you get a text message?
Thanks!

For the notification light, I don't think anyone had done it yet, but I know that it existed on my thunderbolt, so it is in fact possible.
And for the screen on when you recieve a text message, there is a tweak in viper rom for it.

Boy I wish there was a way to do both of these.
I have a bone stock 2.04 phone. I can live without the notification light while charging but not having the screen come on when a text is irritating. Another thing I cannot stand is that 3 dot menu. Being able to use the recent apps key for that on the other HTC's I've had is great and I just cannot fathom why Verizon doesn't allow the choice for this on the DNA.
I can't wait for root on the 2.04 OTA. I really miss my ad blocking

I found this app and it works well for screen on when receiving a text: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lukekorth.screennotifications
Now if something can be figured out while charging lol.

Quick question here -
On the OG Evo my favorite mod was the WiMax notification mod that enabled the green WiMax light to stay lit when I received a text message.
I know the Evo 4G LTE doesn't have this light. Is it possible to have the blinking notification changed to a constant on? That way it's harder to miss when I get a new text message.
How hard would it be for a developer to make this happen?
Thanks in advance!
And to go along with this could we get a mod so that the notification light doesn't time out after 5 minutes if it hasn't been checked? Kind of a useless light unless you look at your phone every 5 minutes. It is one of the main reasons I switched to Cyanogenmod on my EVO Shift.
The constant on mod would be nice. I wouldn't have to stare as long wondering if it is in fact blinking.
I use Handcent and while it's a little bloated it does allow you to set the charging light to flash when a text is received and also the frequency and color of the flash. It might be an option for you until someone creates a mod.

Wait, the notification light times out after 5 minutes? Seriously? I thought maybe I was just seeing (or not seeing) things. That's irritating.

I also had that app in my Evo. It was from a developer in xda but when I tried to install it, it said was not supported. Wish the developer would redo for us.

I use hand cent also. Can you please point us to where you would adjust the color of the flash? All I see is a setting for blink led. But no color setting.

I actually really like the stock one that is included in this build. I've had sketchy results with third-party apps in the past and don't really need the extra bloat typically.
Appreciate the suggestion though, that's more along the lines of what I'm interested in. A constant-on notification light would be perfect.

Menu/Settings/Notification Settings/Notification Settings (again)/Check the "LED Plus" box. You should then see a dropdown for LED color (Green or Amber) and another for LED Frequency. Not sure if you have to be rooted to select LED Plus.
I used the wimax notifier on the 4g, but it would be great if a ROM developer could include some tweaks for this!
I use this and it is godly light flow
It takes a while to figure everything out but once you do it's amazing

I'm on 4.2.5 and it's been there through multiple updates. It's possible it wasn't included for the LTE I guess, I'm still using the OG EVO (for now). Maybe someone else can verify. It would be hard to believe they would remove it for certain phones but who knows.

I tried this on my LTE, and it only worked in Direct mode, which gave me very few options. How did you get it to work?

I also tried this and although it works if my phone is silent the light turns off after a couple seconds if my sound is turned on. Also, the light doesn't flash it remains constant which I don't mind at all. However, I need to hear my phone sometimes so until that gets cleared up this isn't an option for me.
Ok for handcent there are a couple things but it does work even on our EVO LTE.
First I don't think the option is called LED Plus any more. To get to those options open up one of your text messages like you are reading it and at the top right side there is a little gear settings button. Click that and select Notification Settings. When you scroll down you will see three settings under the heading "LED Settings"; Blink LED, Color of LED and LED flash frequency. Those settings would have solved our problem. The problem is they are grayed out on our new phones. Bummer. I guess it means handcent isn't fully compatible with Sense 4 yet.
We can get around that though!
Now back out of your messages so that you are at the main screen of handcent where you can see all the contacts who have messaged you. Now press menu> settings>notification settings>notification settings. In here you will see a set of options called reminders. Turn on reminders and make sure the frequency is set for 5 minutes. 5 minutes is when Sense will usually time out a notification. Also, make sure to set the number of reminders to keep repeating so that every 5 minutes you get a new reminder. These reminders seem to restart the notification to your phone. You will get another notification sound/vibration or however you have yours set up and the led light will continue to flash like you just received the message. I don't think there is a way to not have the sound/vibration go off again unless your phone is on silent. Doesn't bother me since if I haven't checked the notification by then that means I still need to be notified.
Another cool thing about handcent is if you like the way the stock messaging app pops up your text on the lock screen handcent can do that too. It's in the options to popup on lockscreen and you also have to check the option for popup on lockscreen fix for some phone on Android 2.2+. You can even check an option somewhere in there so that the popup only shows up on the lockscreen and not when you are using the phone.
With these options I can make handcent function identical to the stock messaging app but have my notification led remain on forever until I clear it. I also turned off notifications for my stock messaging app and under display settings in my phone turned off led notification for sms/mms so handcent is controlling them.
Unfortunately this does nothing for emails, phone calls, etc but really texts are the one thing I need to know about since it is the primary way my wife communicates with me during the day.
I have also tried Light Flow but it doesn't seem to work at all. My notifications still turn off after 5 minutes even in direct mode.
I am looking for an app that will allow me to turn off or disable the LED. I like getting notified I have email (gmail) just do not want that stupid LED blink, blink.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
p.s.
thought there use to be an app just cannot remember the name.

Try lightflow, but i don't know if you can turn off all the notification
I use the App Light flow it is free and works awesome you can edit all your leds. So i hope that helps and works great for you.
Thank you all for the light flow app I think I can make it work for my needs. I knew the Razr community would have the answer.

Why the hell you would like to disable led? I owned/own Droid Charge and it does not have an led. It is so annoying if I missed a call it will not notify me. If I have an email it will not notify me(assuming that I missed buzz or the tone). I do not want to look at my phone every 5min wondering if I got emails.

Ours is not to question.
It's the OPs decision on how the OP wants to live the RAZR experience.
Sort of like the same difference between those that love cluttered home screens, and those that have nothing on them.
TL;DR? To each their own.

Yep. I use Light Flow to kill the notification light at night. I sleep with my razr on the night stand beside my bed and the flashing light wakes my wife up if I get a message or something at night. So I definitely see a benefit to being able to kill them altogether.
Just turn the phone and lay our on its screen. LED is facing down and shouldn't be noticed much, if at all. :thumbup: i do that when i have to have my phone with me at night.

i tried lightflow on my 2.3.6 and it turned of all notification lights except battery charging. i had to uninstall to get my blinks back. what was i doing wrong?
When I receive a text through Google voice my notification light is a solid purple-ish color. Anyone else text through Google voice and have the same notification? I thought it was just weird that it doesn't flash like all the other notifications. It's stock gs3 btw.

To be honest I don't even look at the notification colors.. they are kinda pretty but I always have my phone with me so I check right when I hear the sound.
It seems that non stock apps are having issues with the notification lights.
my wife and i use GV for text.
ours both have the same Pulple/Hotpink color for the notification light.
wish it was blue....
Thanks for the replies! It's not the color that's bothering me. It's just the fact that it stays solid and doesn't flash!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I thought it was only me. I get the same thing on my s3 as well. It just stay solid purple for my GV notification. Im just worried that it might burn out the led on my phone
Your not the only one. Turns out that most 3rd party apps that use the notification led are messed up on the US versions of the s3. Guess the firmware for the led on the US s3 was a little different then usual. If you are worried about it just turn off the text notification for voice and check your phone more often lol. I'm not too worried about mine but that's because I don't use voice for texting very much and when I do I check it constantly.
Whenever I receive new message/whatsapp/email/facebook/etc., my screen doesn't lights up to show me the notifications but it only makes the notification sound. Is there any way to turn on the screen when notification received?

It' s not an iPhone that's the reason why you have a notification light BTW it saves battery too. What a nonsense to turn the screen on each time you get a notification. Are iPhones still do that? I don't think that stock sense can do that.

Cool app and works similar to bitesms on iPhone jailbroken app. Only good thing though is the quick reply but imo the graphics on this make it look way out of date compared to the stock messenger. Only thing I don't like is when in your pocket you can accidentally hit reply and have issues if u know what I mean. Great alternative though for the few people that can't live without the screen turning on with a new text, lol. Personally I like it the way it is, does save some unneeded screen time and no possible way to case accidental responses. But if u just stare at ur device all day waiting for a text to appear, I can see the appeal, lol.
is there any other method to pop the screen?
i have been using the power button to pop the screen, is there any other alternative method?

I recently bought my HTC One and my LED won't stop blinking green. I use Apex launcher, Fusion messenger and Gmail and none of those are sending off a notification.
Any ideas?
If your talking about the led please elaborate, or are your actually Saying your device is not giving any notification sounds
If I'm not mistaken HTC doesnt offer the colored led notification that's normally found In Samsung devices
If you can't get sounds for your gmail and whatnot...try and go in menu settings in the email app and set what you need ...
I'm just confused on what your asking .....versus just Making a statement by what it looks like .

The notification LED that is in the top speaker grille on the left hand side, it lights up on notification and when charging.
Mine is always on and I can't figure out why.
