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,
Is there anyway to keep the screen on after you make a call. Sometimes I need to enter a code after I connect to a phone number but my screen closes. By the time I get it to turn back on it's too late to type in any information. I look at the settings but could not find anything. Thanks.

It should turn on once you pull it away from your face, once the sensor senses light it should turn on.
Mine makes a clicking sound tooafter like 10 seconds
Thanks for the suggestion. The problem is sometimes it's dark outside and the sensor does turn the screen back on. Hopefully they'll be a fix for this in the future.

I also have this problem, they need a fix!
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
Lately, when messages arrive, my phone turns on and takes a little off, like, when I connect the charger the screen lights up and never goes out.
I have not activated developer options (remain active).
this used to happen ... not until recently that remove the root flashing the stock !!!
¿Should know what ???
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!
