please help me with s view cover and notifications - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello there,
please help me im going crazy here.
i have foxhound rom running and love it. But for some reason now with my s view cover the little window will not 'wake' or light up to show me a notification when one is received...
If i turn on the screen manually the notification is there, vibration and sound fine, but the window will not light up to show me notification and doesnt help that the case blocks the led light....
is this supposed to happen? I swear it used to wake on notification?
Matt

just a quick update... messages and calls work.. it's whatsapp... how can i get whatsapp to work with the s view case?

Phantom Notification Light

Has anyone else has experienced this? Seemingly out of nowhere my green notification LED will start blinking. Thinking I have an email/text/missed call I hit the power button only to find no notifications whatsoever. I check my inboxes to make sure nothing new was in there and find nothing. No alarms, no new texts, no emails, no missed calls, nada. It just continues to blink until I reboot the phone. Its not a huge issue but its happened about 5 times in the past week, just wondering if i'm the only one.
mine doesn't do it to that extent, but sometimes if I have just cleared a notification or something it will blink until I put it to sleep and wake it back up.
Huh. Haven't noticed that problem. For what it's worth I use Google Voice so don't use the MMS app and have removed the Voice Mail.
maybe its a hey play with me light? lol ive experienced it but in about 2hr increments of standby

It happens to me when I check a text through the app (handcent) but I don't go to the notification bar at all, it clears because I open it in handcent but it continues to blink until I pull the notification bar down.

Speaking of the Notification bar, does anyone else have an issue of selecting a notification and it takes you to the correct app, but it doesn't close the notification bar?
yeah, i've had that, where the notification bar will stay down after clicking an app. i just roll it back up and the app i selected is no open in the background, so its all good.
and as far as the notification light goes, i wish there was a way to also tap into that orange/red LED as a notification light. I downloaded an app that can control the blinking light and for various things, and if the phone supports it, multiple colors (dunno what phones have a multicolor LED there...) but seems it can only tap into the green LED. Which sucks, cause i'd love to have missed called and voice mails linked to the red light while everything else linked to the green light. maybe once its rooted and custom roms come out that'll be an option.
I've experienced this with Handcent SMS on the rare occasion. There's a certain combo of viewing messages that seem to cause this.
Since you can view messages 3 ways, reply 2 ways, not sure which combo causes it.
To clear it tho, I've always just opened handcent fully and opened up the last message received. That's worked every time for me.
I made the switch to GO SMS. It's a thing of beauty.

I am a bit of a text addict so I notice this happening frequently. Doesn't really bother me but I dont really understand why it happens some times but not others. It happens with GO SMS and stock messaging app for me.

don't get your hopes up. I upgraded from a Hero and it used what seems to be an identical light, it was hardwired to only use green and red, so no matter what software you use it wouldn't matter. Not to say something isn't different with this one, but just be prepared to have your bubble popped as I did the first time I saw those options in cyanogenmod...

Notifications - Please help

Hi guys,
I've just sold my iPhone 4 and got the Desire HD (which I am loving by the way).
I have flashed my ROM to Android Revolution HD and have a query
When I receive a text or email, after I have read the email or text the notification icon remains in the status bar and when I swipe down I see the text/email. The only way to clear it is to click the clear notifications button.
This is quite annoying and I was wondering if anyone knew how to resolve this issue,
Many thanks
edit: I have disabled status bar notifications and the notifications have disappeared. I would however like to keep these one....

[Q] Lockscreen notifications since Lollipop

Hi , in the past (4.4) I had NiLS installed and could see the different apps notifications on the lockscreen while the phone was locked and screen off . Once a notification came in the screen was "waken-up" and I could see the notification. NiLS worked as a widget. Now, I understand there's no more widgets for the lockscreen , OK with that. The Lollipop replacement is the built-in notifications , however, when a notification comes in I can only hear the sound of it but the screen stays turned off. I couldn't find any decent notifications app that can now co-exist with the new mechanism. Any ideas ? how can I make the screen wake up for incoming notifications ? many thanks.
Same issue

There's no led notification on nothing phone, only glyph, someone is working on an App to modify how it's working but it requires Root at the moment :/
I just remembered about the Glimpse Notifications app on the Play Store, it has recurring notifications and a self test section just did it a test quickly then and it seemed to work (glyph lit up, vibration as normal) so that might be a solution in the meantime
