I'm noticing that the LED flashes only some of the time for things like Twitter and SMS. The notification bar has the update on it but the LED seems to not want to play ball.
Has anyone else experienced this or similar? I know the LED works because it shows when charging and when the battery was low it flashed. Specifically I use Touiteur and had the LED set to blue but even on the standard green it's hit and miss.

Mine doesn't flash when I get email, but seems to work for SMS or missed calls.
I was hoping someone would make a thread about this, I never got around to making one!
Mine flashes for everything which is annoying!!! I get a lot of emails so is constantly flashing! I've tried going into Settings -> Display -> Notifications and deselecting everything except Missed Calls and SMS/MMS but made no difference!
i'm so used to Magic 8 colors... shame DHD has only orange and green
also it somehow tends to turn it off after a while being on.
I've sent an email to HTC to ask about it since it's a big issue to me. Notification sounds feel similarly hit and miss so I'm suspecting some trigger is being missed, possibly due to the new Sense UI. I'll post any reply I get.

I've got two led's. One for the battery on the right of the speaker and one on the left behind the speaker. The left one is for notifications only n I must say I'm disappointed as its located being the speakers its not as visible as I would like it to be. Is there anyway to get the battery led to function as a notification led as its not covered so much more visible?
I've got a reply but nothing helpful. So far it seems they're willing to blame app compatibility. I've asked for information regarding any changes that have been made to the LED notification system on the Desire HD and now I wait for another reply.
I told them I had no such issues on two other Android phones and they seem to be implying that the apps are coded for specific phones when we all know apps are coded for an SDK version. To quote the part of the reply...
"All the functions/programs you mean are made for Nexus and G1/Dream most of the times, Desire and some other are similar enough for it to work. Cannot help you with third party software."
Pretty clear the guy doesn't have a clue about this so I'm hoping if I nag long enough he'll pass me on to someone with more knowledge.

I see two LEDs up top but charging uses the same LED as the notification system. The left one behind the grill. I haven't seen the second one light so it's probably the proximity sensor.

i only see one led too (with two colors).
Dyonas tel HTC that even GMail (2.2 app) acts like that... and gmail.apk 2.2 aint made for g1!
Another really pointless reply from them.. in the initial contact I mentioned the camera being misaligned so that's what the first part is referring to. Here's the latest reply and below it is how I have just responded.
Dear <me>,
Since receiving your e-mail i have looked for any more known cases and was unsuccessful if you are concerned that this may cause issues i recommend that you take the device back to the retailer.
Regarding the LED,
We do not give developer support so i cannot help you with this.
To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number <not important>.
Sincerely,

Response to it from me..
Hi,
With regards to the LED notifications, I'm not asking for developer support or any support in fact. I'm simply trying to find out if HTC have changed the method for using them with the Desire HD. You said that programs are coded for specific phones and I'm sorry but that's not true. They are made for SDK versions, most going as far back as Android 1.6 for widest compatibility, so any changes in the programs affecting the LED notifications would show in ALL versions, not just the version shipping with the Desire HD.
This again points to either HTC changing something with the Desire HD or a programming bug with the Sense UI in some way. I realise this isn't an easy issue to look into but it is a very important one and while I appreciate you're trying your best, I will not let this issue drop until I get a more satisfactory answer.

To me this is a very big deal because if you leave the phone for a few minutes and aren't close enough to hear an audio notification the LED is what I rely on. Missing notifications like this I might expect from a custom ROM but I haven't touched the phone in any way like that. I didn't see your reply in time to mention the GMail issue and I only have my experience to go on which is Twitter updates not always firing. You should raise a ticked too, the more we get raising the issue the better the chance they'll look into it.
i stop sending tickets to HTC last year... they never fix anything.
I rather find a perm root and put CM onto it!
Their latest and seemingly final reply seems to have something that may point to an answer. Unfortunately I lack the knowledge to check if it is of any use. The guy suggested any changes would be in the Kernel and linked me to the source code area. Is anyone able to look into the source code and see if there are changes to the notification LED system for the DHD? It's pointless not useful to ask app developers to look into it until we have something concrete to point at as a cause.

I asked Cyanogen about this and he thinks the lights driver he wrote for the G2 may work.
Being a basic user I have no idea how to try that out without instructions so... I've done the fact finding, who's going to help with this part?
My email LED notification has not been working properly, sometimes yes but mostly no.
Got email mid morning today, sound and LED worked. Left it in this state for several hours still okay. Just got another sound notification for the same previous email, how does that work
Think this is yet another bug....
I've now had this happen with the GMAIL app so I'm bugging them some more.
Would there be any point in posting in the development section to ask for help using the G2 lights driver from Cyanogen?

I've also had GMail fail on LED notification and SMS! It seems to be random now. Coming from a WM6.5 defector I quietly smile to myself
I think I figured it out and if im right it's really stupid. I had two notifications earlier, one for Twitter and the other for e-mail (not gmail). The LED wasn't flashing for either. I opened Touiteur to view the updates thete which cleared that notification and straight away the LED began flashing for the e-mail alert.
Why one notification would disable the LED if it's already on I have no idea but the above has happened more than once now. There's an LED test on the phone which HTC had me test. It has other tests too for anyone curious.
Key this into the dialer.

Hello everyone. I've got a question. I've been having issues with my keyboard. It seems to not register certain letters when I type. I have an officially unlocked streak running an official 2.2 rom. I have NO idea how to fix this. I've tried various keyboards and they all have the same issue (except for the default android keyboard, which I don't like too much).
I saw this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848487). I'm not sure about anything. I have no idea what baseband I have or anything like that, nor if I have to be rooted or not. I'm so very confused about EVERYTHING Android. I've had this device for a total of a week. I'm not sure if anyone can give me a hand?
Have you ever had this issue? When I type messages it sometimes misses letters (but they register but not on the screen), for example, the letter jumps up (as if it knows it's being pressed), but then doesn't register on the screen. For example I can type:
"this is an example"
and it would come out "his is an exmple" or something like that.
I've downloaded multiple keyboards and they have the same issue (some more than others) and I'm not sure how to fix this. Any ideas? Suggestions?
Thanks!
Kent.
I figure out im portrait mode is better than landscape. But i don't know why. Must be bug..

I recently noticed that when using the stock emojis that there are now a few blank spaces where it appears emojis used to be. I haven't changed any settings, though I was briefly using Go SMS but stopped(and uninstalled it) due to the MMS and other bugs. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this, or is this normal and I just never noticed this before...?

I've always had this issue even after re-flashing the keyboard and completely flashing my phone back to stock.
I think it's some weird issue that everyone experiences, and I'm not really sure how google overlooked it.
(couldn't find anything in google reports)
Hmm that's disappointing, hopefully there's a patch with the next update. Or at lease GO SMS gets their act together and updates their app to fully work with the nexus 4. Thanks for the response!
I just wanted to go ahead and bump this thread. We have had the update for 4.2.2 and still this problem exists for me.
I had maybe one or two blank squares with stock android on my nexus 4 so it wasn't a huge issue but Ive recently flashed a new rom and upon enabling the android emoji support, even more of the tiles came up blank than before. There are about 10 blank tiles scattered throughout.
I have gone into the add on dictionaries in the android keyboard and deleted and re installed emoji for English but it did not affect anything.
Anyone else having this problem or know of a way to fix the issue without having to use another app?

surely others have to be having this issue

i always had the few blank spots on several different roms.
always thought it was an issue with the emoji keyboard itself.
never found an updated version of it though.
i actually dont even use it anymore.
i only use emoji in texts and the emoji options in CM and PA work well
I dont think it would be an issue with the keyboard itself because when i installed it on stock i only had a couple blank tiles and when i installed it on my paranoid android rom there were about 10 randomly blank squares. I dont know if its messing up during installation or what?
and i would be willing to bet that other people have different tiles left blank than i do.
Its just annoying because i can see most peoples emojis but when they happen to use one of the ones that are blank on my phone, they also show up blank in whatever message i am reading (text/twitter) so i see some of them but not all of them

did you uninstall the previous one first or what were the steps you took to re install?
I can't pin it down to this being an Android 4.3 issue or an update to the app itself so i'm asking for other peoples experience here. When you receive a facebook message and the screen is off, does it wake the screen?
I should also mention it happens too on my Nexus 7 (2013)

Yeah, I also noticed it started yesterday or the day before. Android 4.3 stock firmware. Pretty sure it's apps fault, tried different ROMs and got exact the same result. Someone should report this to developers.
I have a HTC One S, same thing occurring here... it appears to be the Messenger App's fault. Since I have had the same issue across 3 different roms
Yeah, I got the same issue with parandroid and the stock 4.3.
The screen wake up when I get a message on the desktop computer. I've shot down all the notifications on the phone and the problem's gone now.
**** .
So I'm definitely not alone then! I've just reverted back to the previous version and that's fixed it for the time being. Also sent the devs a message from within the app but seeing as this nod Facebook, who knows when it will get fixed
Sent from my Nexus 4
Good to hear, it's really annoying, I hope they fix it soon. Any tip how to revert back to old version? Or maybe you have the right apk to share with me please? I don't even know which version was the working one
Facebook is always a fail app.
The new update fixed it momentarily, but it's doing it again. I'm on 4.2.2 on an S4 and it's doing it too. Kills the battery, I hate it. Turning notifications off completely only disables it as it automatically turns on after a few hours.
Anyone have the APK for the version before this crap started happening?

Version 2.53 (here) doesn't seem to wake the screen for me...
Can't believe they still haven't fixed it... Wish more of my friends used hangouts
Well, thanks for the effort, but it still didn't fix my problem. Also tried different versions, but neither of them did work. Gotta wait for official update.
Okay, so I've found a fix. After trying absolutely everything I tried greenifying the app. Obviously when it's greenified the screen doesn't wake, because you aren't receiving any notifications at all. Strangely enough though, when you de-greenify the app, then run it again. No more screen wakes!
Have no idea why it works, but it does! So I'm happy!
I take back what I've said... It works temporarily, then starts waking the screen again

I'm also having the same problem, with my HTC One and my Nexus 7 2013.
I can reproduce the problem on the followings devices:
* HTC One running Sense 5
* HTC One running Google Edition RUU (4.3)
* Nexus 7 2013 (4.3 JSS15Q)
I dunno if the problem is really app related or not... What i find out is that trying to login with my friend account, the screen doesn't wake up when receiving a message. I tried further and created a dummy facebook account, and same, doesn't wake up the screen.
Just my facebook account is waking up my screen.
I didn't try long enough with my friend account and my dummy account if the problem will appear sooner or later.
Could be account related or app related, or both...

This is really interesting... I will try a friends account too to try confirm your findings. Maybe there's some abstract setting on the Facebook account itself that is causing the issue?

Okay, So I tried a fake account as well. Bam. No screen wake upon receiving notifications. So i'm going to assume it's account related... Only Facebook could pull this off...unbelievable..
unbelievable but true! it is account related. The question now is:
What do we have in common? (Developer?)
and are there any settings in Facebook which could stop this behavior.
I have the same issue and tried everthing to get rid of it without turning all the notifications off on the app. I really dont like to have my screen on every time a get a message. I could notice that this is happening on android and ios devices.

Sorry for bumping this thread, but... did anyone find a solution? I've got the same problem with Facebook. I remember I applied for beta testing some months ago, but then I "resigned" and went back to the normal app. Problem still occurs, though. Isn't there a way to solve this?

Did anyone notice that the YotaFinance App does not synchronize the updated values for currencies and stock exchange values?
The last time it updated was about 6 days ago and since then no update anyomore.
I removed the widget and placed it again but no difference.
What can be the cause for this?
Does anyone else has the same problem?
(I wrote the same thread in the App section but saw it would better fit here, so if it is possible the thread in the App section can be removed).

Yes, I have noticed the same thing. I suspect it has something to do with the release of the official update to Android 6, but have no real facts to prove it.
At first it was working fine for me (YD201 with Android 5 build EU124b), and then suddenly not any more.
I first thought it was something that I did that caused it, but even after reversing all my recent changes, it still did not work...
I then did a factory reset to see it that would help -> did not help
I re-flashed with the official firmware of build EU124b -> did not help
I flashed the RU build and let it update to 134 and Android 6 -> then the finance widget worked
I re-flashed the EU124b build (Android 5) -> and again the finance widget does not update
So therefore I suspect they changed something on their side when they officially released Android 6, but I am only speculating.

Exactly.
I got an answer on google play:
"We have switched to another content provider. The necessary changes on the app's side have been made and they will be available on the Android M firmware version. Please accept our apologies for the temporary inconvenience."
So, it won't be usable anymore with Lollipop anymore. That's worse!
