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.....

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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 All,
I noticed that after not touching my phone for awhile (say an hour), any LED notifications for things such as email or missed texts don't light up the green notification light on my phone. It works great if my phone was somewhat used within say the last 30 minutes, but once I wake up in the morning and unlock my phone, I see my missed texts and at that time it lights up the green LED. I have all my LED notification settings set to on. Am I missing something? I hope this is not normal, otherwise what's the point with an LED light?
Well first thing...the device actually only will show a notification for 5 min w/ the blinking light. Then it just stops until the next one comes in.
You also could be experiencing the wifi data bug I am seeing...the one where you basically lose your connection to wifi just by being connected. It doesn't tell you that you have no data connection, it just randomly drops off.
Wow. Only 5 minutes? Is that normal for Android phones or is that an Sense thing? I've had other Android phones before in the past, but with no notification light.
My 3G data packet data is switched on always. This shows a remaining balance notification of my data after a period of time automatically. This notification stays on my screen even after my screen goes to sleep until OK is pressed. This takes up a lot of charge at night.
Is there any way to close it automatically or at least a timeout setting so that it closes on its own ???
When I get an email or text message, the notification is seen on the smaller secondary screen.
Is there a way to extend that timer, where the notification stays there for a longer period of time. At the moment, it seems like it only stay there about 2-3 seconds.
Before you tell me to look through the settings: there IS NO SETTING to force the screen to stay on for longer when receiving a notification! Nada! The sleep mode time has NOTHING to do with notifications or the lock screen.
So I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro running MIUI 12. Please let me know how to fix this, because I'm already enjoyed to death. My job involves constantly receiving notifications and I'd prefer NOT to have to constantly turn the screen back on or touch the screen every 5 seconds. When the screen is turned off and you receive a notification, the screen ALWAYS shuts off after 5 seconds without exception! You can't change this. This makes it impossible to read a notification longer than 1 syllable. It forces you to either touch the screen to prevent it from going back to sleep or click the power button to turn the screen back on. So now I'm logging for a mod or an app or something to extend this automatic 5-second interval before the screen goes back to sleep after a notification.
Looking forward to extending it to at least 30 seconds! Thanks in advance!
