Wake up LCD light on incoming calls/texts/emails on 8525

My 8525 LCD doesn't wake up when there incoming calls/texts/emails and I have to press the power button to wake up the LCD light so is there a way to set it to wake the LCD light itself when there are incoming notifications?
Thanks
Bill
Start/Settings/Sounds & Notifications
Notifications tab
Display message on screen should do that I believe..
I wish I could make mine NOT light up!
I just figured out that it does light up on incoming calls and text and always had been but never lights up on incoming instant message or emails or any notifications which I been wanting it to do and get more often than a call or text.
Look like there no way to get it to light up on other notifications and does anyone know if there a registery setting to force any notifications to power up the device other than just only incoming calls or texts?
Thanks
Bill

led notification

For the owners : Does this device have a led notification?
For example , when you have a sms/missed call... Is there a led blinking to see if there is a missed call?
I dont wanna turn on the device to check that
yes there is a Mod for that, i was asking t he same question couple of days a go and i found the answer by googling it and guess what! i found it in this forum
but honestly i can't remember which forum or what i typed in google.
but it works well, when i have a missed call or message, the capacitive buttons lit but don't blink...
The green led blinks on a missed call, but has no other type of notifications. Not emails, SMS, tweets or Facebook messages. Red for low battery, green for missed calls.

pfff , and there is no setup to let it also blink on a SMS?
So now you NEED to turn on the device to see if you have an sms if you have the phone on silent?
Is there an option to vibrate every 10 min or something when a sms is received?
Yup, abit disappointed you can't turn it on for SMS/Email, but it's better than no visual alerts at all.
I think the best bit abit this phone is that it's few shortcomings are mostly in the software, which can be easily updated... *crosses fingers*
i've noticed that when you receive an sms, the phone vibrates (in my case, i only use viberation mode), and as soon you get the phone out of your pocket the screen turns on.
At first i tought I made the mistake to accidently press the power button while getting it out of my pocket, but afterwards when i took extra care the screen comes on when you take it out, it doesn't unlock tho.

Notification light

on my old phones the light would link when i had a text, voicemail, or missed call. this damn phone blinks like 5 times... is there an easy fix?
Missed Reminder
http://www.appbrain.com/app/missed-reminder/ru.orangesoftware.areminder
My settings
Turn the screen on - Unchecked
Popup - Unchecked
Vibrate - Unchecked
Ringtone - Silent
Blink Led - Unchecked
Notification intervals - 1s
Number of repeats - Forever
This helps keep the LED blinking on DK28. This even works when I have the Blue LED set within Go SMS.

I can't get it to work. Do you need Froyo for the LED blinking config?
I have successfully used it on DI18. Try setting Blink Led enabled, Led blink interval 500 ms.
missed reminder works great. thak you so much i tried it before but it didnt work.
It works for me but I can't get it to blink blue :-(
Blue only works on froyo... the blinking control works on di18 but not led color changes and we only have blue and red on froyo

LED indicator problem

Hi, Im using Light Manager,
LED blinking works fine when i get any notification, however if 2 notifications come in, the alternate LED function does not seem to work.
For example if I am charging then the LED is orange and then if i get an sms or something then the LED stops blinking and nothing shows.
Same if Im not charging and i get an sms, it blinks, but if i then get a missed call or email or something then LED stops blinking.
Alternate mode is already on in Light Manager settings.
What am i doing wrong? Do i have to disable something?
Thanks

Led indicator for email and messages

After updating to nougat, the led indicator was not working for the Samsung email app. After
experimenting a bit, I discovered it does work only if you enable vibration for notifications
(I am using Silent for the sound notification). You can turn the vibration off with the slider found under
sound and vibration intensity, notifications. This behaves differently that it did on marshmallow.
The sms messages app (google) does work with the led indicator without having vibrate on.
I don't have vibration set for any notifications and my LED light works for email and sms.

I expect a reset would fix mine. I have experimented extensively and seems I have to turn on vibration to get
led's to work.
I did find that leds work without vibration on if you use an audible sound on email. If sound is set to silent,
the the led's do not work without vibration on.
