[HTC Sensation] edcmeister:
The HTC Sensation does have notification by sound, LED and Vibration, look closer at your settings check out the settings in HTC Hub :-)
[HTC Sensation] Docmjldds:
It does work for Sensation 4g. I use it.
[HTC Sensation] ariochenigma:
The problem I'm having with NoLED is that I also use Handcent SMS and when you clear the NoLED notification screen it also closes the sms popup window. It's kind of annoying. A fix around that issue is the problem I'm having.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
Just installed SMS Popup & it seems to have an option to repeat your reminder & can set an interval. It even turns on the screen which I missed!!!

Testing now.

https://market.android.com/details?id=net.everythingandroid.smspopup

Edit: yep, works perfectly. Only downside is you lose the awesome lockscreen feature of showing the envelope & text
[HTC Sensation] Paul22000:
Any update or workaround?
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
look at my post right above yours
[HTC Sensation] Paul22000:
That's only for SMS, which I literally never use. (I use Google Voice for 100% of my texting.)
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
you and my buddy Mike would get along great. He refuses to get SMS & only uses Google Talk
[HTC Sensation] Paul22000:
Haha yes! And I've successfully converted a few others as well. I mainly use it because I can text via my work PC or my home PC. Texting with a full keyboard = a thousand times better :cool:

Plus saving on text messaging costs, and ease of porting number over yadda yadda :cool:

Anyway, I've been testing out NoLED today and it's a nice app but I don't like that it turns the entire screen on. Massive battery loss there.

Is there a better way?
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
from what I've read NoLED was made with an AMOLED screen in mind where black doesn't drain the battery because those LEDs are actually off
[HTC Sensation] ariochenigma:
I've been using NoLED with Handcent. There is an option in NoLED that is Handcent specific that seems to keep the sms popup under the NoLED notification. Just unlock NoLED with the volume rocker and the popup window will remain open. Only downside is when the phone is on vibrate you will be constantly taking the phone out of vibrate mode to unlock NoLED to view sms popups. At that point you'd have to use the home or back key to unluck NoLED but it will dismiss the sms popup. So NoLED is ALMOST a nice fix. Gonna use it for now until something better comes along.
[HTC Sensation] Paul22000:
After going through all the app's options and menus extensively, I now have it set to disable the screen via the proximity sensor (ie if in my pocket etc).

Now I'm trying to use the Blink feature so if my phone is on a table or somewhere exposed, the screen isn't 100% on. Rather, it turns off/on periodically.

However, it seems the Blink feature doesn't work on the Sensation? When I get a notification, the screen never turns on.

If I disable blink, it works again right away (but then the screen is on 100% of the time when not in my pocket).

Anyone else experienced this?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] empire6:
Power button broke while removing the back cover now the battery gets drained because I cant turn the screen off and the only way to bring it back from sleep is by pressing the camera button

basically Im looking for a way to remap the camera button to function as the power button (HTC surround)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjward5489:
When I was on RC1 of Misfits Speedy port I had no problem with using the Sense 3.0 apk. When I installed the Odex version, I get FC when I try to open messaging. Anyone know how to fix this or know where I can possibly find a version that will work on the Odex Rom. I would've posted there but for some reason I still can't post in the Development section :-(

[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
Too long and after seeking you say its not on anything else but a black screen made me stop reading

I have minor bleeding and it is getting worse over the last month I've had this phone... (had it sense 4/19)

I watch tons of movies and can see it

I play Nova and other darkish games and can see it

I watch YouTube and can see it

Your whole post that prolly took 10 mind to type and spell check ( not including the time to find/copy/paste links)

Is your opinion some think it is bad.. I can live with what I have now but not as it getting worse....

BTW you can see it on the black notification. Bar... I.e. gingerbread

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
This is so funny I just can't let it go. You've apparently convinced yourself that you're some sort of techno-elite hardware research wonk, and the rest of us are both ignorant noobs and unreasonably difficult to please perfectionists.

Quite a construct I must say!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
I swear I only see mine when I'm in a dark room and its on the boot screen. Either I'm lucky or not too picky

Nonsense!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] j2eubank:
^this.. it's not horrible.. but I can see it on the gingerbread black statusbar top left. I'd say that's a real world example
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
I think its logically laid out, sorry to go over the 140 character horizon. I can try to fit it what those twits use.

"If the G2x screen bleed problem, had any significance beyond disenchanted perfectionists, we would have some pictures of it in REAL usage.

I am pretty sure that the stuff written on the hardware side is correct, even if you think it stupid.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
You want to link those up, or should I just assume they show something.

May I see these pictures you refer to? These pictures are of something other than a black screen, great! TIA for sharing.

INDEED...you posted pictures are just black screens with 100% brightness in a dark room....would like to see real world stuff, not a worst case test
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
Pretty much a solid black screen AGAIN.....I wonder what the electrical issue is with your soft keys, as they seem to be glowing heavily white. Might it be overexposed whites in a completely dark room? Sitting in the complete dark, with a 95% dark cell phone image, and turned up to 100% brightness is lame and....NOT VERY REALISTIC OF NORMAL USAGE
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
Okay so you posted the video...and have had 3 different G2x phones, but are not saying the phone you had for a month is getting worse, as if you did not swap out phones. Plus you say recently on youtube that your phone has minimal problems.

On the hardware side, there are reasons why you see the artifacts you see. You already said you did not read what your are disagreeing with.

Your video does show the bleed has no consequences to the 2.3 top black banner.

T-Mobile accepts returns because in the first 30 days it has to, and as a practice it is good business to replace newly purchased hardware, where the customer insists there is a problem with. It's a fallacy to say that because T-Mobile accepts returns, that it agrees that a defect is present, the sold the phone with a no question asked 30 day return policy.

Nobody has shown a picture of video of the G2x Bleeding problem impacting any real world usage. The menus in your video when you show them, seem pretty OK actually.

Dilated eyes...but lets not make this complicated. Nate420 if you have all these problems under normal usage....lets see them, how about an updated youtube.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
Sypvie, pretty sure you are just eating peanuts out there, but if you have some sort of point about the hardware on the G2x, do share....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
To the OP. I understand where you coming from but you could have came across a little less cocky. I am running a Gingerbread ROM with the dark notification bar and in a normal lit setting I cannot see any bleeding. The only time I can see it is when I am laying in bed with the lights out with my display brightness cranked to 100%. If my brightness is set to Automatic or below 50% there is absolutely no bleeding, even when on a all black screen. Do I think people are over blowing this issue? Yea, I actually do. You can't see the bleeding during a normal lit setting and if your in a pitch black room, all you have to do is turn your brightness down. This display is to damn bright at 100% in a dark room anyway.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EtherealRemnant:
My bleed went away 100% with usage.

And also, I disagree with IPS-LCD versus AMOLED - IPS-LCD kicks the **** out of AMOLED, particularly Super AMOLED with its crappy pentile matrix display. I could literally see the pixels in my Captivate's screen, particularly when reading text. The display that is on the G2x is by far the best screen I have ever had the pleasure of owning, seeing, or using.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
What about the Super AMOLED Plus with is RGB matrix? Now that is a sight to be seen. It looks like the icons are floating on top of the display.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EtherealRemnant:
AMOLED just doesn't look realistic to me. The color reproduction on an LCD looks much more realistic than the colors on AMOLED. Personal preference I guess. I will admit that SA+ looks intriguing and is quite vibrant but its TOO vibrant - I'm glad they ditched the pentile matrix though - it was pretty annoying buying an 800x480 phone and setting it side by side with my Evo which had a much larger screen and seeing NO pixels on the Evo and seeing lots of them on the Captivate.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
That doesnt hurt your eyes?? :eek: I crank it to 0 during bedtime browsing

Agreed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ickster:
It's funny how different people are. I was reading the original post and it could have been written by me. I totally agree. I never have seen the bleed in real world use at all. And my screen is always turned up to 100%.

Altho' he's been attacked plenty, no one has posted anything that he asked. A real world pic from our phone other than a blank screen at 100% brightness that shows the bleed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
A lot of people think the colors look un-realistic because were so used to looking at non Super AMOLED displays. The reason why colors look so vibrant on the SUPER AMOLED is because other displays can only produce 1/3 of the color spectrum the Super AMOLED can. I guess it's a preference thing but if you turn the brightness down, the colors look a lot less vivid.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
Agreed. I did want to frame it as a put up pictures of the real world, instead everything being the worse case test....to drive it to a conclusion.

G2x is not perfect, and I am still in my 30 days easy return and have the entire Costco 90 day too. My concerns right now are on simple hardware wireless reception, being new to T-mobile and my current usage being outside of prime reception areas...I don't have enough to compare to....but I won't just assume it sucks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
So do I. I was just saying thats the only time I can see the back light bleeding through. Under normal use, I cannot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EtherealRemnant:
I was under the impression that IPS-LCD can produce 16.7 million colors. It certainly looks like it does when I compare the wallpaper on my Evo (65k) and the same wallpaper on my G2x.

I used an S-AMOLED from November until I got this phone in April and I vastly prefer LCD color reproduction.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] v8dreaming:
The "black screen" you reference is an app for drawing on the screen. I also posted TWO pictures. One at full brightness and one at 40% or so as REQUESTED by LG. Here's a link. It is a known issue. So, it is VERY real. Have a nice day. Thanks for playing.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
The s-amoled screen definitely produces more accurate colors but i actually enjoy the vividness of the G2x. Being a photographer (trained eye when it comes to true color) I always thought I couldn't stand a phone with colors rendering more saturated but I must say they didnt go overboard with it and its very pleasing to the eye especially when viewing media.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
http://www.androidarena.com/2011/04...alizes-why-the-pentile-matrix-is-bad-for-you/

You can use this tool to look at the microscope of the two screens. The G2x looks like H-IPS. I know it is better than my NEC LCD2180UX. I have to agree on the AMOLED not being as good on text as I wanted. Still because of the resolution, the iPhone4 still gets my best screen award, it can display great text. I am waiting to see if the Sensation is a move up or not over the G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] momentarylapseofreason:
Pretty much what he said...

While I agree with 99% of what the OP said, coming across as an arrogant *expletive* will net you very few followers. There are inherent issues with almost all screens; even ones made for TV sets.

I have a DLP and an LCD. Both have "meh" blacks but the DLP is definitely better than the LCD. However, the DLP has some rainbowing. So even on a screen designed for nothing other than watching video, there are problems with almost every technology out there.

10 years ago, a cellphone owner was lucky to be able to play Snakes on a black and white screen. Now they are acting as though a phone should be their media center/gaming system. While it may be able to handle some of these tasks, it is still a phone.

The people arguing whether or not screen bleed is a major problem should be handed a Moto StarTAC to use for a week. They will love their bleeding issues after that experience :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
For what its worth a lot of those pictures of the bleeding can look worst than they actually is due to the pictures being overexposed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] erikiksaz:
I don't think you're open to this idea. As to why, I don't know what your motive is.

Do you work for returns/exchanges at Tmobile? Perhaps the engineer that designed the mating surface between the LCD and the housing? In these instances I would understand why you're so bent on telling people what they should or shouldn't be be seeing.

Either way, I don't see why you need to throw such a fuss over this. As a soon to be eye doctor, I think I understand pretty well when patients are experiencing visual phenomenon that cannot be explained.

Do I ever think they're making it up? No, they typically have no reason to make up such random things, there's no motive for it. You're not going to get free glasses or a free eye exam if you see random shimmering lights, very sporadic flashes, etc.

Same with this phone. People paid out of pocket for this phone. They usually have two weeks to return the thing. By complaining they are sure as hell not going to get any compensation. Worse case scenario- return the phone, done. It's not like the screen is going to progress from no bleed to bleed overnight and screw us all out of warranties.

And consider what type of camera would be required to photograph the bleeding on our phone. It's such a faint gradient. Am I going to borrow an SLR and learn how to utilize the ISOs or shutter speeds to prove to YOU what I'M seeing with my own eyes. I could care less if you think what I'm seeing is BS, the bleeding image is there whether or not you or I want it to be there.

At ~35% brightness the bleed spans about 5mm on my black gingerbread bar on both sides of the screen. Looking at that thread you posted, it seems acceptable for there to be a soft-lit shadow around the periphery. But softly-lit white shadow would definitely NOT be the word I'd use to describe this very obvious edge bleeding.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
And as I read your post with the dark xda theme with no ads I see no bleed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
I think I posted that thread or a similar one in my OP. The app you used I also talked about in the OP, its called DRAW. The auto exposure on any camera can exaggerate illumination...which is why some of the softkeys are glowing.

There are so far no pictures of any real world anything....that shows the G2x bleed problem. I should not need to get into the closet without the lights....to see a problem.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
LOL! This thread just peaked.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EtherealRemnant:
Considering that LG developed the H-IPS technology to its current state and the fact that our displays have no purple hue to their blacks, it is most definitely an H-IPS screen.

I wouldn't count on the Sensation being a move up by any stretch. Its HTC after all. HTC produces some of the worst build quality devices that I have ever seen. Every HTC device I have in my signature had issues and other than the Inspire and the Evo (which I had to have the screen replaced on because I had the separation problem), neither of which I used very long because of switching carriers, I had at least 3 replacements for each of them and the Mogul took the crown with 10 refurbs before the Touch Pro 2 came out and I got that. The MT4G, built by HTC as well, I sent back the next day and the day I had it, it rebooted constantly, one time it did a complete factory reset on its own, it didn't want to power back on after it did that factory reset, I had dead pixels in the center of the screen, and my headset jack was DOA. Its no wonder T-Mobile was giving them away for free with a new contract.

After having used HTC, Blackberry, Samsung, Palm, and now LG smartphones, I can say with confidence that the order I would place the first four in (its too early to tell with LG) is BlackBerry, Samsung, Palm, HTC in terms of manufacturer preference for my devices.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
My bleeding isnt that bad but when the sun goes down I'll post some pics of my screen with correct exposure so this arguement doesnt have to go any further. Nikon D90 incase anyone is wondering.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
If you read his entire original post you would see that he already acknowledged that the bleeding can be seen on a completely black screen in a pitch black room. He wants to see bleeding during real world use. So unless you stare at a black screen in a pitch black room all day I highly doubt your pictures depict real world use. If your in a pitch black room there is no need to have your back light above 25% which at that point there is absolutely no bleeding. I said 25% because that is what it gets set at in a dark room while on Automatic Brightness.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
again.

Look there are phones out there that are defective. it is impossible to show up in a picture maybe i should link you to why pictures wont pick up side of lcd or ips panels distortion. i have had 3 G2x's now 1st and 3rd have minimal back bleed which is what you apparently have. yes it shows up in blacks but really is tolerable overall nto a problem. the 2nd phone had back(side) light bleeding so bad that the entire picture has a yellow hugh at all times and you totally lose the picture from just a slight angle. do your links talk about how 1 of the large benfits of ips screens are the side angle views that do not lose color saturation as do plain lcd non ips panels. also for anyone that whats to see the difference look with a magnifying glass youll notice the ips panels lcd looks like >>> as oppsed to up and down lines like normal lcd panels. ok just wanted to let you know i kinda do know some stuff. you know what my car gas pedal doesnt stick down but imm not doubting that toyota vehicles seemd to do that at times. everyone here wants to play with there phones. want to develop for the phones want to root their phones and we dont like having to wait until we are sure the damn thing works. there are more problems than the back light bleed that you forgot to mention. like many phones with no reception. and although this phone seems to have good connection. i can hit 11megs down and 3 up with my mobile hotspot 4g from tobile but cant get more than 2-3 and less than one on the phone.

what you fail to realize is people are more willing to overlook 1 problem than 5. froyo has been out for over a year. and gb for 5 months. and they released the phone with froyo ok great its a year old so its nice and stable. not this version. and you think not being able to change the signature is an accident-its advertising yeah itll get fixed but after it got the word out pretty good.

if you are able to get a good build of this phone its awesome but just because you got one dont think everyone that didnt is just stupid.

as a side not to anyone reading HTC just announced that they are not going to lock bootloaders in any future phones.

http://androidandme.com/2011/05/new...longer-lock-the-bootloaders-on-their-devices/

time to research the sensation now only have until tommmorow to return g2x but

i do have a decent one now but the 4g connection speeds worry me. since i already had 1 g2x that had a attenna/signal issues.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
The Sensation and the G2X are on the same level with the G2X in my opinion being slightly better. The SGSII on the other hand is on a different level than the G2X and the Sensation. The only ones who think the Sensation is better than the SGSII are Samsung haters/HTC fanboys. I'll retract my statement when I see every review out there say the Sensation is the best Android device available like they said about the SGSII. The G2X will be traded in for the SGSII/Hercules but the Sensation would be a downgrade in my mind.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
yeah

thats what i am thinking also. and i like the hdmi and the usb not the mhl connection. a little bigger screen would be cool. and the processor is better in the g2x. more memory in the sensation. but i will most liekly stick with the g2x. and well see about the unlocked bootloader thing im still sceptical. what will they lock instead :) . both of these phones are gonna pale in comparison to what comes out at the end of the year.

but maybe the sensation wont have so many returns so they wont be strapped with inventory and raise the price......:) they have to be kidding.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] darbear5610:
I have backlight bleed but it's not that terrible. However the problem is real and it exists. Even if it is a small percentage of people.
