light up when recieve text?

Hi, site looks great, need to explore more, but reason i am here at mo is i'm trying to find out if there is a way to let the phone light up when a text is received? like a conventional phone/ this is my first wondows mobile / pocket pc thing, so its taking some time getting used to it
At moment though i have to press the power button to check if any texts, and this will be using power as pressing it when no texts are in (phone is silent at work)
IS this poss to achieve? either through settings, or a app?

You can use HD Tweak (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452505) to turn on a feature that causes your phone to turn on when you receive a text.
You can also go to the Sounds and Notifications setting in your phone and check the box that will cause your little LED light on the power button to keep flashing until you check your message.

thanks for the help, will look into that

I did that and works great (thanks to HD Tweak) but I found out why they decided to not turn on the screen by default... whenever I receive a SMS and the phone is on my pocket, I start making calls by mistake...

Go to "Settings, Buttons"
Either select "Lock Device" or "Always display Quick list"
Long press on the end call key will then Lock all input so even if the phone does wake, it wont respond unless unlocked.
Locked phone is essential if you have a Bluetooth car or Earpiece as the phone will wake everytime on connect/disconnect also.

thanks.. btw u have any idea why is it like this? is this a bug?

this topic has been discussed before:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=499582

so far, this method werks but not for long..
method: Settings---> Sounds and Notifications-----> new SMS----> Disable Alert, Vibrator, Falshing Light !!! Basically disable everything and press OK to return to the touch FLO home.
After that, Go again and enable the SMS notification with or without Vibration as you like and it will work !!!

I had the same problem when i used the nueDynamicClock...
Now, it seems to work well (with the version 1.3)

For the home button waking phone issue, see this thread in this forum from yesterday:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266545

I'm not as worried about the Home key, but I have the same complaint about receiving SMS.
When I receive a text message, my screen turns on for a few seconds, then turns off again. Is there a way to stop this?
If I touch the screen when it is on, it takes me into whatever I touched, and the screen stays on. That is particularly a problem when it turns on while in my pocket.
My phone is set to have no lock screen (and unless you use a PIN or similar, I don't know why you would want a lock screen - it's just one more step to get to using your phone).
My Messaging app is set to show notifications in the notification bar and play a sound and vibrate, but not to show a message preview.
So, I think it's actually a bug that the screen would turn on at all, just from receiving an SMS or MMS message.
Am I missing something? Is there a way to stop this behavior?

[Q] Driving Mode - S Voice Issues

Ok, so i have an NFC tag to turn my phone onto Driving mode and enable bluetooth and load S Voice. Works perfect.
2 issues.
When bluetooth connects and i have S voice on, it no longer lets me say " Hi galaxy" instead i now have to touch the screen? Am i missing something?
Also after a phone call comes in, the phone doesnt go back to S voice and sit there waiting for a command, instead it locks the phone and then, i have to unlock the phone whilst in the car to get the S voice back on the screen.
Any ideas?

Help with screen issue please.

Hope someone can help.
Since the August update the screen on my Mi A1 keeps turning itself on. Only way I can stop it is if I put the phone in aeroplane mode.
It will be sitting on the desk doing nothing and the screen just comes on, no alerts (I don't have app alerts on besides phone and messages), no calls or text. Doesn't even go to the home screen, just the screen lights up and wont turn off until I physically click the power button. If I put it in aeroplane mode it doesn't do it but obviously I can't do that as I then can't receive calls or text.
Anyone got any ideas?
