No, even my 1st Ascend didn't either. Are you SURE yours light up when you get a text?
I am 100 percent positive!
It lights up and the notification icon appears in the notification bar and it plays 'Mr Postman'.

Well, at least I am not alone.
Yeah but you should be able to get it to light up. I just called myself from the land line just to make sure. It lights up and plays a guitar solo, as I programmed it to do.
I had my b/f text me. It lit up and played 'Mr. Postman' .
I don't know what to tell you. I'm going to look at all my settings to see what I did.
It lights up fine when I get a phone call, just won't light up when I get a text or email, trust me, I checked the settings inside and out for it, and found nothing.

Hmmmm.....well I do trust you! LOL
Glad you contacted Huawei. Did you ask them when they are gonna 'push the button' for the Froyo while you were at it?![]()

I did not mention 2.2 because that will probably dramatically increase my chances of them NOT calling me back, so I only mentioned the screen. Once I get them on the phone, thennnnnnnnn I might ask![]()
Downloaded and Installed an app called SMS Popup by Adam K.
Problem solved for now, hopefully 2.2 makes it by default. This only works for SMS.

Downloaded GO SMS.....it lights up the screen
WOOOHOOO
I got rid of SMS popup
edit: wow this app has tons of setting tweaks...i love it!

I have been using GoSMS since the longest. Should have recommend it to you earlier. Glad your problem is solved![]()

I just wish there was a option for the screen to stay lit up for longer than 2 seconds.
NY...mine stays lit up for several seconds. Long time actually. It stays on for almost the entire song of Mr. Postman. LOL
It didn't used to stay on that long until I began using Handsent.
Ahh, I bet if I changed the message tone to something longer than a beep, the screen may stay on longer.

Do you like it better than Handsent SMS? Or have you tried it?
I do like it better than Handcent SMS. Go SMS has better looks and is a lot faster, and it is clean, and best of all, doesn't slow down my phone.

Exactly
