Question [Q] Notification Band - Can it be turned off?

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if the Notification band around the bottom of the Xperia S can be halted from flashing notifications at me. I am aware there has been a question regards the Notification LED at the top of the handset but this is not what I mean.

There are times I would like to retain some privacy, like, the whole point of being able to put a phone on silent?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
d.

Do you mean the notification band below the keys? The transparent strip?

Does it blink/flash for notifications on your Xperia S?

How did you enable it? I have an european Xperia S and the notification does ONLY work with the notification Led on the top of the phone.

Yep, How did you enable it?
Mine only blinks when there is an incoming call (not for telling me I've missed call) and when I plug it into the charger, it blinks thrice. That's about it
Did someone help you? Click on the THANKS button.

It's the flashing when receiving an incoming call, I would like to be able to ignore calls while not showing the whole room I am doing so

I would like it if it were possible to have the transparent strip flash when either there is a missed call or email notification rather than the little led.

Anyone know if this is possible?

Discussed to death. Why do we have to repeat over and over and over and over again?

Post a link rather than being funny about it!

It's not my thread but just asked the question as it was kind if in line with what op was asking.

Agreed. One thing I dislike about this community is how ready people are to shout down mistakes. Either point to the existing discussion or STFU
