Hey fellow Heroes (that's what Hero owners are called, right? )
Does your screen flash for notifications?
In the Sound & Display settings, there's a setting called "Notification flash", subtext "Flash screen for notifications" and you can set for the screen to flash for calls, messages etc.
Now I have all the boxes ticked, but when I get a text messages or email, the screen doesn't flash, only the trackball (for text msgs) or trackball and LED (for emails).
Is it just me or do other people experience this too? Would be nice to see the screen flash and get a quick little text message preview or something.
Thanks for any replies!
No screen flash here either - stock Orange Hero.
wheel
Only the wheel flashes IMHO
So what's that option in settings for then? Nothing? Is this a bug or am I misunderstanding what the option is meant to do?
I have my wheel flashing as soon as some new email or notification arrives. Clearing notifications clears the warning.
Is the screen not a different beast entirely from the trackball / wheel / round spinny thing ?
If the option says Screen Flash then surely we should see the screen flash when its on and a notification happens ?
An option for trackball flashing would be called Trackball Flash.
IMHO
Thanks joemax, that's exactly what I'm talking about!
I'll try again and rephrase my question: You know how when you get a call, an alarm, or a calendar reminder, the screen turns on and shows you the call/alarm clock/calendar screen? I thought that was the notification flash of the screen. So why, even when you turn said setting on, does the screen remain off when you get a text message/email and only the trackball (and LED for email) flash? Is that a bug?

Only the wheel will flash. I've looked into a lot of Android forums for this and all the users report the wheel as flashing but not the screen.
Ok, but do we agree that the screen should light up for messages and emails based on the options in the settings menu?
There is a program that turns the screen on when you get a message, and also one that pops up the text message on screen. If thats any help!

SMS Popup from Market! GET IT! Cracking App!!!!!!
Yes, it's called SMS popup in Market. I'm using it and it works fine for text messages. No popup/notification for email though.
The screen does not flash, it is probably just a mis-translation.
If you go into the 'Notification flash - Flash screen for notifications' settings it lists 6 tickboxes for things like Missed Call and Email etcetera.
Basically think "trackball flash" where the menu is reading "screen flash" and it works, this is the page where you decide which events warrant your trackball flashing a notification.
I leave mine to flash only on Incoming Call, Missed call and SMS.
Having it light up for every work email that comes in is a pain.
The screen does not flash as was configurable on some older HTC Windows Mobile units.
Kind Regards.

Sorry been away, peeps have already named it for you..
Just wondering if this is an issue on all phones (rooted or stock)
scenario is as follows:
You're on a call..u receive an sms or want to check ur calendar or email for something relevant to the call etc
u click the home button and go to ur app.
question is; how in the hell do u get back to the existing call?
pressing the call button takes me back to the dialer/contacts/call log screen
there is a green phone icon in the notification bar but when u drag the bar down it is empty
holding the home key gives the call log button but goes to the dialer.
i have a rooted ph running CY 5.0.2
if this has already been posted i apologize. i did try a (quick) search
EDIT:
found this

A Hold icon appears in the Status bar to remind you that you have a call on hold. From any other application, you can open the Notifications panel and touch the entry for the call on hold to return to the current call screen.

however when i open the notification panel after navigating while a call is on hold (orange icon) or still active (green icon) the panel shows nothing

Hello
I'm running Android 4.2.2 and my phone is rooted. I'm currently using full!screen+ (paid version). Whenever I receive a phone call, a window pops-down from the notification bar (see screenshot attachment). Ignore the big red mark that I accidentally made in QuickNote when capturing screenshot.
Regardless of whether I answer or decline the call, the notification window stays there and does not go away. In fact, it sits on top of any window/app I open so I can't see anything behind it.
This notification window comes up only when I'm receiving a call while another app is open (eg Gmail). If I'm on my home screen, the regular phone dialer window comes up instead of the notification window. I'm thinking it might be because of fullscreen app, but I haven't had a chance to test it after uninstalling the app yet.
Anyone else have this issue?
Try disabling incoming call pop-up in phone settings.
