Message notification

Why doesn't my Z1 light up when I get a text-message. Is there any way to turn that on? Because the led indicator is useless.

It doesn’t light up as this would activate the touch screen which can lead to unintentional usage of the phone not to mention the negative impact on battery life if you received a large number of messages sorry.

Yes i have the same question because with other phones the lock screen is active when a notification comes in which means that you don't have to press the "on" button each time. With the lock screen on the phone is still inactive so is there any way that this can be implimented?

There is also the negative impact on battery life if you received a large number of messages and as such I do not see this being implemented sorry.

just a point cliff and borok.. this isnt a standard feature on any phone. It is implemented by some but in my honest opinion its not the best feature to be used. It does impact the battery life, but it also is quite disruptive if you are in meetings etc.

Hi. I often leave my phone upstairs and work downstairs or outside and dont here the notification sound so miss the message. Is there a way to have the message notification sound repeat every couple of minutes if the message has not been read.

I have never tried or even heard any phones can play notification sounds repeatedly until it is read and acknowledged. Btw, @borkok, have you by any chance switched on the stamina mode ? It always block off any new notification once the phone screen is turned off.
