my trackball light keeps turning on and off, even in standby mode... is there a way to turn it off? or is this normal with the phone?
Hi,
The flashing trackball means you've had a message, email or a missed call. You get a little icon in the top left of your screen with a red squiggle on it. When you've turned your phone on, put your finger at the top of the screen and sweep downwards and your notification screen will appear. This should tell you what event, message or call you've missed, or is waiting for you.
Hope this helps. It is a bit confusing at first.
Sometimes, even after I've completed reading all my unread texts/checked missed calls list, the trackball remains flashing for a period of time (like say 10 minutes) and then stops flashing.
Only way to stop it it so bring down the notifications panel and hit 'clear notifications'.
Its a bug.
my mate with an orange one had this, but it turns out he had set up the MAIL application (NOT Gmail) for his hotmail and turned notifications off, so it flashed, but no top bar notification or sound was played.....

I would actually love the option to have the trackball light to pulse indefinitely until notifications are cleared. I reckon its damned sexy!
Just a shame it can't do multi-coloured light :<
Mine will keep blinking until i take down the notifications panel, even tough its clear and i.e message is read. But it "cures" the blinking instantly.
Mine is doing the same thing, blinking for roughly 10mins but dissapears if open and close notifications even if blank.
Is this a bug only in the Orange rom ?
Hi
When i get a message from ping or whatsapp or even sms message through handcent. the green LED notifier doesnt flash on the top.
Instead i have to first wake the screen up and then turn it off then the LED blinks green.
Is there anyway to fix this? i have a work around with handcent atm using the popup and setting a screen sleep time of 10s. but when i receive a message from ping or whatsapp, i would only hear it for the first time and after that nothing until i turn the screen on.
Thanks
Every time I receive a text message the screen comes on and I cannot for the life of me find how to turn this off. Anyone tell me how to turn this annoying feature off?
Thanks
How do I prevent my screen from turning on when receiving a text?
Just got my S4 and am having trouble with one thing. Every time I receive a text message, the screen turns itself on.
What I've already tried:
- The feature is unchecked in the settings, but even then, screen still turns on.
- Installed Handcent (so I could use pop-up feature), disabled notifications from default app, still screen turning on.
- Disabled default app, screen still turns on when texted.
- Turned off pop-up, thought it may be doing it, screen turns on from texts.
I have no idea what else to do and this is an annoying thing. Maybe I'm missing something obvious, if so, please point it out.
Thanks.
When I receive text message, the phone but nothing shows up the screen.
Then when I turn the screen on, then I am able to see the message.
Is this normal or is there some setting that I screwed up with>

Check the settings in your text messaging app. Some of them give you options for what happens when you get an incoming message. Some don't give a heads up notification if the screen is off.
If you have not made any changes whatsoever and your phone is just fresh out the box I would say that that's a problem and would return the phone 4 Exchange
Do you want the screen to turn on when you get a text message? There is a setting called ambient display that will turn your screen on when you get a message. If that setting isn't activated your phone will vibrate or make your notification sound and blink the led but will not activate the screen.
