N78 - Blue centre light when the phone's locked

Hi,
The N78 has a blue light that kinda glows intermittently when the phone's locked/on standby.
It looks pretty, sure, but it's also completely pointless. Is there anyway to make it only flash if I get a new message or a missed call?
Cheers
Solved!

Completely pointless?  It's to show that your phone is switched on. Most phones that completely blank the display have a light to show the phone is active. If it stops flashing then you know something is wrong, like the battery has run out.
You have two choices:
1. Leave it switched on, it doesn't use that much power.
2. Switch it off - Menu > Tools > Settings > General > Navi Wheel > Breathing - Set to off.
It is not possible to set it so that it only flashes when you have a missed event.

  • TS1398 When the phone is locked Wi-fi signal disappears?! (iPhone 5 iOS 6.0.1)

    When the phone is locked Wi-fi signal disappears?! (iPhone 5 iOS 6.0.1)
    What can I do to solve this problem?
    Thank, you!

    It sounds like to me that Apple has worked out a way that the data service providers can increase your usage of the cellular network to increase your bill which undoubtably has resulted in kickbacks. It is pretty crafty and I'm sure most people won't even notice. What really blows my mind is that they have people saying that it is to save battery life. I can't imagine that the ammount of suppossedly saved battery life is even messurable. Reeks of a scam to me.

  • Since I downloaded iOS6.1 I can not hear my messages/phone calls/emails or any sounds when the phone is lock. Any setting I can change?

    Since I downloaded iOS6.1 I can not hear my messages/phone calls/emails or any sounds when the phone is lock. It doesnt connect to bluetooth either. Any setting I have to change?
    My sounds settings are ON and my side mute button is NOT pushed down to orange.
    When the phone is unlock all the sounds are fine, but as soon as it locks it goes dead silent mode!

  • How to disable power off when the phone is locked with pass code.

    Can anyone teach me how to disable power off function when the phone is locked?  With this , user is able To trace the iPhone when it goes missing. Besides, users will have enough time to remote wiped.

    i also had my phone stolen ... the first thing they did was turn off the phone so i couldnt track them.. you should need to enter your passcode in order to turn off the phone. i dont care if you cant do a hard reset.. i would rather loose the ability to do a hard reset for the added security .. besides without hard reset if it jammed badly i would just wait ontill the battery died.

  • Why is the decline button for phone calls not available when the phone is locked? I need that button and it shows only when the phone is not locked on iOS 7

    Why is the decline button for phone calls not available when the phone is locked? I need that button and it shows only when the phone is not locked on iOS 7

    Yep. You need to touch the sleep/power button once to silence the ring, and twice in order for the call to go directly to Voicemail.
    Personally, I dont understand why Apple eliminated this. If you wish to give Apple feedback, do it here:

  • Please add 'Decline' button when the phone is locked in ios7

    A must required feature is not available in ios7 though the same was available in previous version.
    Pls add the 'Decline' option for rejecting the incoming calls. the new features like message/remind me are not so much helpful for us.
    Thanks!

    You can disconnect an incoming call by pressing the sleep/wake button twice when the screen is locked.
    This seems quiet helpful to me as sometimes(though rarely) the call might get disconnected when its lying in your pocket or when you try to take the iPhone out of your pocket during an incoming call.
    Apple Will never do anything for no reason.
    CHEERS!

  • HT202769 Apps cannot be launched from the control centre when the phone is locked?

    I'm using an iPhone 6, running iOs 8.3.
    There is an issue when I try to launch any apps from the Control Centre while my phone is still locked.
    For example, if I launch the camera from the Control Centre while the iPhone is locked,
    the camera will launch, but within the next second, the screen will black out.
    So for me to use any apps from the Control Centre, I have to first unlock the phone, then launch the app.
    Has anyone faced this same problem and have a solution to it?

    Reset device: press both home and lock buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears (no data loss).
    Reset settings:  Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Restore: Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

  • Missed calls - a missed call is shown on the screen when the phone is locked. I slide the icon an the phone calls the back to the missed number. The phone still show a missed no. It should clear the icon since I obviously noted the missed call. Any fixes?

    Ok, a wish for the next iOS release, just a small anoying thing.
    Scenario:
    I have a missed call, the screen is locked. The name of the caller shows up on the screen, I slide the phone icon and phone back.
    When I've ended the call there is still a notification of a missed call, i.e. the same missed call that I just called back. To clear the missed call red circle icon on the phone icon (in the unlocked state and the notification on the locked screen) I must open the missed call list. Then it clears.
    My wish is that the phone understands that it should clear that missed call after I returned the call since I have obviously noted it.
    -> Is this something apple will update or is there a setting that I could change?

    You have to return the call via the recent list or tap the red missed call entry in recent list otherwise even a hundred calls won't turn the balloon off.

    Yes you can. Take it to an Apple store and they will replace the battery. If it is in warranty there is no charge. If it is out of warranty they will charge $79. But best of all they will test the battery first, and if the battery is OK they will help diagnose the software problem.
    Here I am, corrected again
    Thanks, Larry, for letting me know.

  • VPN turns off when the phone is locked

    when im on my iphone the vpn stays on but as soon as i lock it it turns vpn off

    The only way around this is if your phone is 'unlocked' and you download an app to prevent the VPN from disconnecting, but it will drain your battery quickly and unlocking your phone is not supported or recommended.

  • Is anyone else having issues with suri on the 5s when the phone is locked?

    I have mine disabled, but it still is opening suri when I'm tyring to utilize the finger print scanner.  What can I do to fix this?

    Where do you have yours disabled?
    Do you have Settings>General>Passcode & Fingerprint and under Allow Access When Locked, Siri set to OFF?
    If you have the above set to off, this is going to sound silly, but use a different finger and Siri will not activate when in locked mode. I think this might be a bug.

  • Is there a way to access an "ICE" (in case of emergency) phone number when the phone is locked?

    Or is 911 in the US the only option to make an emergency call?

    the notes app is certainly an easy way to go - the advantage to an app like EmercenAid is you can store other contacts, including your Doctor information, allergies, medical consition and history and any medications you take in the app - so if an emeergency worker opens the app they have access to valuable informaton about you

  • How do I get email and text message notifications when my phone is locked?

    How do I get email and text message banner notifications on my iphone when the phone is locked? When I had iOS 6 I could get notifications with sound and banner. Now that I have iOS7 I can't see notificaitons when the phone is locked.

  • I have turned off Siri's access when my phone is locked, but it isn't working!!

    I have followed the instructions for turning off Siri when the phone is locked, but it isn't working.  I even rebooted...and you can still get Siri to engage!  Any ideas??

    I'm having the same problem after I moved my iPhoto Library over to an external harddrive (and then tried to access it on separate occasions from different machines). I also found that my iPhoto had "locked" these directories somehow, and I checked the "Get Info" details: sure enough, one of the things that should have said "Read and Write", didn't.
    But when I tried to change those permissions (including the "Apply to enclosed items"), it gave me this error:
    "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
    Seems that I can't give more permissions because I don't have enough permissions to do that! Do I have to move the owners to "System" from my own account "b" or what?
    (My poor "photos to be iphoto'd" directory is filling up quickly while waiting for iPhoto to be fixed.) Thanks!
