just noticed this today, but whenever i receive a text message (sms/mms) the screen doesnt turn itself on. I hear the bell notification and see the trackball light up but the screen still stays on standby mode. Is this normal?
Im used to the iphone turning the screen on its own whenver i get a text message.
Nope, this is normal on all Android phones. Download SMS popup if you want a feature such as this. Quite irritating if you ask me, kinda a battery waster I would assume.
This is why Android phones usually have LEDs, or a trackball. For notifications
Doesn't Handcent SMS have this feature too..
Ok thank you! Its just was never around my phone or actually looking at it when i receive text messages. but for some reason today i was next to it and the screen didnt turn on.
I dont really want the feature, but i just wondering if i did anything to screw up the phone. Thanks again for the help!
handcent and chompsms have the popup i know for sure
I think I may actually like this feature better. The trackball seems more subtler. Although, I did enjoy knowing who was texting.
I prefer the trackball lighting as well (I don't want the screen to light up), but on the Desire ROM from MoDaCo, when you get a message the screen lights up and you see a preview on the lock screen. Messaging application icon also shows how many unread messages on the screen. I think it is cool. I don't want the screen coming on, but I like how it shows a preview on the lock screen.

Why would you want the screen to turn on?
So everyone else can read your texts?
Trackball notifications are awesome.
I just got TrackballAlert on the Desire ROM which allows you to choose your own colors.
During St Patty's day: "Hey your phone is glowing blue. What is that? That looks awesome!"
LOL. i didnt like that the texts would just take over the screen....people can see that mug!!!
not that i wanted that feature, but i thought it was standard for all phones to have the screen turn on from standby when getting a text....i just thought i did something to screw up the phone.
Hi,
One issue I have had with the hero is that if I am viewing an email conversation and I turn the screen off, I will no longer recieve email notifications about that specific conversation. No sound, no LED lightup, nothing. If I turn the screen back on, I will see the new replies but there is no notification at all. I've had this happen in 1.5 as well as 2.1. Why does this happen and how can I fix it?
Thanks in advance

My guess is the Gmail app isn't smart enough to tell that the screen has turned off and it expectes that you are still looking at it. I wouldn't consider it a bug as much as I would a "Future product enhancement"
Can anyone repeat this? Am I actually the only one who has this issue?
Ugh
I had this issue on my LG G2 where, randomly, the green LED status light would start flashing like there is a notification, when there is none. This is related to the Alarm. I posted this over in the G2 forums and I will post it here.
How to fix:
Clear all Notifications
Turn off Screen
(wait for notification light to blink) [confirm]
Turn on Screen
Go to Clock, disable Alarm
Double tap Status bar / Turn off Screen
(wait for notification light to NOT blink) [confirm] [fix]
Turn on screen and enable your Alarm.
The LED light should no longer blink for no reason.
Really kind of disappointed in the G4 software wise. On my G2, this issue and the lagging/FCing keyboard was huge issues that made me want to upgrade to the G4. Sad to say that even the newer software and newer hardware, these bugs are still present.
Thanks for this I'm sure it will help a few people out there.

The only issue I've had regading the blinking lights was if I swiped away a notification from the lock screen and locked it again, it would blink until I pulled down on notification bar. Same thing?
Sent from my G4 using your mom
Nope. It randomly just starts flashing. I do turn off notifications from facebook and XDA via android system....
Happened twice tonight already since 5pm. During the day I am hammered with work emails, gmails, text, and hangouts so I dont notice it much. But a night when its flashing but there are no notifications, i have to disable the alarm amd reenable to fix it.
Same with my old G2.
Maybe the disabled notifications are turning on the LED notification but android is hiding the actual notifications. I will try reenabling them and disabling them via the apps.
Update:
Clearing those apps in the Sounds and Notification settings menu per app page, did turn the light off. So maybe that is the bug.
It started on my G2 when lollipop update came out. It is easier to disable app notifications this way as they come in by holding the noification and disabling it on the andoid side. I'll report back if thats it.
Big problem with led notification
This is the biggest problem in my g4, at least for me.
But i didn't understand what is the connection to alarm? I don't use alarm and still have this stupid bug : (
Well the alarm toggle is just a quick way to turn it off.
I do think the connection as been found with the Android notification hiding. I havent had the problem reoccur since I "allow all notifications" in the android settings... then turn off notifications within the apps directly.
It seems Androids "hide notifications" isn't doing a great job. It keeps the popups hidden, but still turns the lights on.
Turning off notifications within the Apps may also save battery since the App is still basically polling for updates on the network side, just being blocked from displaying them.
I am still testing but I think I nailed it.
Let's be clear.
My problem is not that the LED blinks without any notification.
My problem is that although i read my notification and now have no more any new notification - the led still blinking and i can't stop it.
Thats the same thing
*same issue i had
Scenerio:
Grab my phone and light is flashing. Check notifications. Clear them. Put phone down. See it blinking still. Pick it up. No notifications. No way to turn it off.
Update: Still getting random LED notification lights. Typically happens in the evening. Very weird
Me too
I even think to turn off the led light.
Anyway it's doesn't show the real notification.
Btw, is it problem with LG or with lollipop??
Tnx
I like using timely alarm from the play store. Never had that issue.
It has nothing to do with the alarm, it is just a quick way to fix the issue.
Question: Do you use stock SMS or 3rd party? I use Hello SMS.
Ok, maybe there is connection between the alarm and the led notification, because the bug happen to me usually after i use alarm in the morning (alarm clock extreme free from play store).
When i press i VIBRTATE and back to normal ringing it's usually stop the led blinking
I use stock alarm. But my alarm is only set Mon-Fri yet it happens randomly on sat and sun. It seems to clear itself after a while too...sometimes.
everyone who have this issue -
1. do u use what'sapp?
2. in which color your LED blinking (without notification)? it it your color alert you choose for what'sapp?
I dont use WhatsApp. My notification like is green. Only seems to do this at night but I get slammed with emails (corporate phone) and may not notice it during the day.
The only app I use that is not "common" that has notifications is Hello SMS. Otherwise I use messanger, facebook, xda, gmail, stock email, stock alarm.
Anyone use an alternative sms app with this problem?
It also appears to go away eventually after more texting/emails.
Usually (!) it's happen to me when i use whatsapp:
When i got picture in whatsapp or if i got both 2 messages in whatsapp - the led keeps blinking.
Sometimes it's happening to me when i use alarm clock free from Google play but now delete this.
What weird is that not of the users have this issues.
Tomorrow i gonna go to the store i bought the device and try to talk with them.
Maybe have the opportunity replace the the LED on the brighter?
Any people have this issue??
I know 4-5 people that have this issue.
PLEASE TEST
this isuue happen to me when i got picture in what'sapp (and in more cases).
can someone try to get a picture in what'sapp on his own device?
remember- after i got picture in whatsapp i turn on the device, saw the picture and turn off the device - but the led keeps blinking.
please if anyone can make a test on his own device- it will help me!!
tnx!

Thank mate really appreciate it
My pleasure!
I follow a certain person on Twitter and have my notifications set so when they tweet, I receive a notification. This works all day without a problem, but at night it just doesn't work. I really would like to be awoken by this certain person tweeting so can anyone help?
I have a super loud notification tone so I'm positive I'm not sleeping through it.
Do not disturb is completely off.
Twitter is set as a priority app to still send notifications even if do not disturb was somehow on.
It definitely doesn't have to do with my Twitter settings, because it works fine during the day. It's just something about the phone being inactive for hours at a time that puts it in a somewhat sleep state I guess? I don't know because I'm asleep. I really need these notifications to work 24/7 so please anyone help!
I think there is no solution for it. In my case something similar happens to me, I have activated the notifications of people that I follow by twitter and although the application is in unsupervised mode it definitely goes into sleep mode when you have not used it for a while. mobile. I've tried it all, I guess it's a problem of the samsung customization layer because in an android stock this same thing works perfectly
