How to turn off the RED LED - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Occasionally, I am unable to turn off the red notificaiton LED after receiving an SMS or a reminder from the calendar.
Usually, viewing the sms, calendar entry or missed calls list will solve the problem,but once in a while I can not find a way to turn it off.
Is there a utility to do this - or could someone write a program - it must be really simple (I assume..). My only solution at the moment is to do a reset.
Regards
Michael

go into settings for notifications and the exit them. that will do the trick.
beside its pretty anoying anyway.

sms notifications not working anymore!

hello,
I'm having a strange problem where my sms notification just won't happen.
when i recieve an sms, all that happens is on my today screen, the "no unread messages" will change to "1 unread message" (or whatever the text is), and thats it.
in my sounds and notifications screen i have it set to
1) play a sound
2) vibrate
3) flash the top right light indefinitely
4) display on screen notification (i assume this is the bit where it pops the bubble down with the message text in it)
it doesnt do any of this!
and it doesn't seem to make a difference if i turn off all the notifications, or turn some of them on, it still doesn't work.
it seems to have happened since it hard reset itself a couple of weeks ago... i dont think it's worked since then..
thanks guys.
Exact Match
Hello,
I've got the same problem, when I check sounds and notifications screen and tap the PLAY icon the notify sound sounds ok, I select another sound for testing.
Sending a sms doesn't trigger the newly selected sound.
Can someone post the registry hive to check if something went wrong in the registry?
Thanx in Advance, annoying that SMS notifications doesn't work anymore..

I Didn't hard reset whatsoever.... so little difference.
In the end i think i fixed this by hard resetting again.. sorry! it was a few months ago now.

Some LED questions

Hiya All,
I have two questions regarding the Jam led:
1. In normal operation the LED flashes under green color around each 7 seconds. Is there anyway to shorten the interval to around 4 seconds ?
2. When an appointment is secheduled, the notification window pop ups and display the appointment detials. After I'm dismissing the notification window, the LED still flashes with yellow color and only SR can resume the LED to its green light. Is there any way after dismissing the appointment to resume the LED to green light again ?
Thanks in advanced,
Bright Star
hehe i can't even see the difference between these two colors.
flashing blue would be nice
1. There's no way of changing the flashing interval.
2. Check your settings under Sounds & Notifications - Reminders - Flash light for...
Thanks for the interval info...
However, when I'm going into notification settings and removing the flash list for missed calls or new sms messages, after approving the new settings, it's always coming back to default.
Any ideas how to fix this ?
Thanks in advance,
Bright Star
default to what?
Defualt to flash light and notification on the Start line...
Anyway to remove all notifications such as missed calls, incoming sms and voice mail from the Start line ?
Tia,

Yeh mine seems to sometimes get 'stuck' on flashing the orange light, even if you've dismissed the alert. It does it for some SMS's when on vibrate mode, and some reminders on normal mode.
You can fix SMS's by going into Sounds & Notifications, clicking the 2nd tab then ok. I've found no way to fix it for reminders other than SR.
Annoying!
Noone found why the led can't be flashing any faster?

Disable notifications?

I have to wade through so many notification messages every time I switch on my phone, its so annoying and there's no apparant way to stop them. Right infront of me, we have email notifications, sms notifications, alarm notifications, calendar notifications, and a battery warning notification! arrggh!! I can't access the calendar hardware button without clearing all these notifications first.
So, into 'sound and notification' settings and disable them right?
Wrong. It doesn't seem to make any difference. I've gone through each event such as 'Messaging: New email message', and 'Messaging: New text message', etc, and taken the tick out of 'display message on screen' but still I can't access the hardware button on the today screen without clearing the notifications first.
The search criteria required for answers to this problem online is too vague, you just hit on other subjects regarding notifications that are nothing to do with this. Can anyone offer some suggestions?
Thanks.

Which ROM are you running?
RE: annoying notifications
I couldnt agree more!
This happens with every ROM i have used including 2003, wm5 and now wm6 black 3.5.
The one I really want to get rid of is the battery low notifications.
Jees, it drives me mad.
Surely just altering a reg key?? I did a search in there but wasnt sure exactly where to look!
Hi, I'm having the same issue. I want to get rid of the missed call notification messages that pop up all the time. The missed call icon is enough, I don't need the message as well! It's very frustrating.
it's the notification queue
..and it's a known issue. hard reset will definitely cure it, or you could use scarybear's "check notifications" or similar to clear it.
I really hate the low battery warning icon nagging me when 40% of battery is still left!! help !

Incoming SMS no notification ...

Hi,
Upgrade to WM6 for the BA, but when there is an incoming sms the device won't notify and LED light no indication at all when the device in standby mode. after wake up the device then i can see there is new sms there. anyone can help ???
same problem here.. not even a sound to know of an incoming sms...
Yep, I get the same thing.
No red light, no sound, nothing. Then I wake it from sleep, and the message appears with sound and led.
Very annoying.
Same prob
Same problem with my BA
Use some app which replaces the SMS notification with its own for example freeware SmileySMS - you can find it in the Development and Hacking section of this forum.
i've already test with my XDA IIs and it work fine, when i receive sms in standy mode, i still receive notification by red light, sound notification, and vibrate.
It seems to be random with mine...sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
hi.. the problem of flash red l ight and sond cant be corrected on "sound and notifications"
for sms work fine (inclusive on sleep mode) you must let the messaging program run on memory on the ba. if you close the program, you could not for mose times recive sms . this issue is on wm5 to..
sorry for the ingles
Gee ! i have the same problem . i noticed that after reading this thread Duhh.. hey wtf ? how to fix that ? i understand now why ive been missing all ma messages . ANY FIX PLEASE ????
I had the same issue, and I managed to solve it by going to Sounds & Notifications->Notifications
Select Event: Messaging: New text message
disabled "Play sound", pressed OK
enabled again "Play sound", pressed OK (I also enabled Vibrate)
Don't know if it was because of this, but it is working now (Made reset and it still works).
Didnt work for me
Sorry to hear that. As I said, I don't know if it was that (try different enabled/disabled combinations for Messaging: New text message maybe?).
I also installed WM6_SoundFix_.cab from the AddOn.rar file.
I think this trick worked for me too... But when the BA is on sleep mode.. the alert will only trigger on the second incoming SMS. I have tried this several times.

I am not sure if the notification tone will cause this problem. I try alarm5 (which is in ROM), it works. With other tones, sometimes it only sound halfway. Also, the text messaging program must be running in background.
If you switch off BA when the screen is in text messaging, it will sound on incoming sms, but LED not red.
u need enabled this in "Sound&Notification-New text message-flash light". Red led work, no problem
please cheque returns your program
is there software contra
example smile sms
a
i just installed SecretSMS and i think it helps me with this SMS notification probelm tho not completely. It manages to play the sms notification but doesn't show up the screen.. well i think it's better than nothing, right?

Message notification problem.

Hi Folks,
This is a small, seemingly insignificant problem but it's bloody annoying so I'm hoping you can help me solve it:
When I receive a new message (SMS, MMS, Email) the little message shortcut on the desktop get's the little green '1' overlaid to show there's a message. Once I read the message and reply it doesn't disappear. I can open the message in Chomp or the system default app and it doesn't seem to register with the shortcut - it still shows the overlaid green number.
I know this is something of a trifling problem but I have my phone on silent a lot so it does cause some confusion.
Thanks in advance.
i've noticed mine staying on for a while but then disappearing... maybe it sits there for another 10/15 minutes?
Could be. I have to admit that afer about 10 minutes I've been losing patience and deleting the message, which makes it go away.
do u read ur messages through the widget page? cause i noticed that if u do, then the little green ball remains but somehow if u click on the message icon with the green ball to access ur acc and read from there, then it goes away.
I think that may be a factor, yeah. When I read them through the 'drag down' menu, either with chomp or system default it stays, I'll open the next one through the icon and see if that changes things.
I find that the trackball keeps flashing too unless you actually tap on the Messages shortcut icon to read the new messages that come through (as oppose to viewing from the notifications menu or through the text messages widget). I hope HTC fix this issue 'cos not everyone wants to go through the messages app via the Messages shortcut icon.
Yeah, I only used the messaging icon yesterday and it was fine. The problem seems limited to when you use the 'drag-down- menu.
