[FIX] Speaker LED – Vision (G2)

This fixes Speaker LED Notifications on CM6.1 for Vision (G2).
Behavior:
If it is plugged in, the light will stay solid (charging). If a notification comes in with the screen off, it will blink green. If you turn on the screen, the charging light will come on. If you don’t acknowledge the notification, when the screen turns off it will blink green again.
When it is not plugged in, notifications will blink green only when the screen is off.

Green light/message received works! Great work!

Works great, thanks much.

Works perfect. Thanks for sharing. Greatly appreciate all of your work.

I did this in Terminal, but before I could even cd, I needed to enter SU. Probably just because I hadn't already allowed access, but yeah. Good stuff as always Pershoot

Anyone else having issues with LED still blinking even when no messages are around?? Even trackpad blinks, is that normal with rc2??

with the breathing light, yea. some event may have just happened. that happens on the nexus too sometimes (with the breathing light), and you're not quite sure what event just ocurred.

Ok, breathing light would be trackpad but still consider with the LED??? Also no events, just restarted.. still happens, normal???

it blinks when there is a notification (same as the trackpad). it does not blink when there is no notification (same as the trackpad). if you are getting blinking, then i can only assume that there is some event ocurring that it is notifying you about.

Ok, maybe there is but I cannot find any other event happening making it blink still.. :/

check your logcat.
push back the .so from the CM rom your on. do you still get the trackpad flashing?

Thanks very much for this; works as advertised.

Thanks pershoot. Working great!

Thankssss :d

Pershoot, will this work if you only have Bacon Bits installed? I have had some issues with my LED while on charge.

I have not tested this against the stock rom.
Feel free to try it.
U can always push the old one back.

[Q] Does the Desire Z/G2 have a Green LED ?

Hey xda
I've had my Desire Z for about two months now and damn its the best phone i've ever had ! However i noticed something the other night which i would like to ask you about.
I have no green led that blinks every 3 seconds or so at the top where the speaker is. Shouldn't there be that when the phone is having reception ? I noticed this when i was charging my phone.. The older HTC's i've had usually glows orange when charging, but changing to green when its done charging.. But mine just turns off the orange led so theres no led litten up at all
Is this normal for the Desire Z or what does your DZ do ?

I have a G2, the charging LED goes from orange to green when it is above 80% (I think), but it isn't used at all outside of charging.

the green LED blinks when you have messages waiting or emails etc. as well as full charge indicator.
It really depends on how you've set your notifications up.

Is there somewhere i can change if the Green LED should be on or not ? Or maybe test it .. Because i never see this Green LED on.. When charging is done the orange led just turns off and no led is litten.. The same goes for when theres reception and i have a message.. The Green LED is not blinking at all

definitely sounds faulty to me. The only app I have ever heard rave reviews about is LEDme. Give that a try to configure the notification blinking. If that doesn't work, dig out your receipt for a return.
EDIT...... As Steviewevie has stated... App is called LED Me Know. My mistake.

The LED doesn't blink for notification unless you use an app (e.g. Led Me Know) or an app that does that for you.
In the stock DZ ROM, the trackpad itself blinks when you get a message, if that setting is switched on, though the blinking is very slow - e.g. every 10 seconds or so.
The LED in the speaker grille should turn green when the battery is fully charged. But when the phone is new there is a "learning" process for the ROM/battery, so that might be why you are not seeing it yet.
If you install the "Led Me Know" app (from the Market), there is a function in there to test out the notifications, so you could set it to use green and then test it from within the app, just to make sure your LED shows green ok.

The free app "Missed Call for Android 2.X" (there is another version that is just for Android 1.6) works well to change the LED notifications as well as vibrate patterns. I just tried it, and it works for flashing the green LED for a SMS notification.

Or if you only want to test it, download "covedesign dev"

Thanks for all the help guys .. I tried various of your mentioned apps and none of them seems to be able to make my green led glow.. Just wondering if i want a spare or not, since it just a rather small fault.. Do you think they will replace it ? is it enough faulty for them to fix it ?

If its supposed to have a green LED, and the green LED is broken, then I think its justification for a replacement.
Whether it bugs you enough to replace it, that's your decision. The only time I've seen it light up (without changing the settings with the Missed Call app) is when charging is done. So it really doesn't have much use, anyway.

Not rooted anymore, as i prepared my device for return.. But i tried it before, when i was rooted, and i was not able to get my green led to lit up with that program.. So i guess its faulty

[Q]Light Flow - question thread

Hi..
I have set up Light flow for several applications,but, for instance, when i recieve sms , i get sound and vibrate both when screen is on and when screen is off, but i get notification light only when screen is off.. What to do folx.. I know it sounds a bit stupid, but i would like that notif light when screen is on also..
Thanks in advance

Nothing. The LED doesn't function when screen is on.

Thanks mate .
One more question tho - i have set up the mod for charging battery : notif light lights up and stays on all the time while battery is charging.. Can this do any harm to led light or phone itself (heating etc)? Or it is intended so it can stay on for long time ?

I had light flow on my galaxy nexus. Although the features are nice, i uninstalled because it seemed very broken. The led would stay on evwn after i checked notifications and so forth. Yeah it was cool, but just didnt see the risk of burning out my led.

For me it works like charm .. But only think i want to know is this :
Can led stay up for longer time ? Like, for example, the HTC Sensations led is staying up for all time while you are charging (by default), and it doesnt burn out. So is GN led designed to stay up for long time, or no ? (Im asking this because i want to know if i can charge the phone whole night and have led turned up)
Thanks again folx

Yes it can! Start LightFlow, choose notifications"then pick the app of your choice. There you can able and enable (amongst many other options) the duration of how long you wish the led to stay on for that particular app.

Yes i know that .. But, will LED burn out if it stays on for all night while charging for example ?

LED's have a life of many thousands, if not, tens of thousands of hours. It's unlikely that the notification LED will ever burn out while you own that phone... Unless you keep the phone for six or seven years and keep the led on almost all the time!

If your led burns out consider it akin to winning the lottery.

Thank you all. ! I really like multi colored led.. I liked it on n900 (back in the old days).. I like it again I simply like when im charging the phone to have my led on all the time
Thanks folx

Ive let mine to constantly show an orange light while i leave the phone on charge overnight and a green when it is charged. Led's wont die on you unless you keep your led on for like 6years straight, so nothing to worry about

Yeh I found the same thing, seemed really broken to me, was so annoying to get rid of notifications and then still have the led going off.

Guys just a quick question. I think this led is three colors right? Red, blue, and green and to get other colors it just mixes them right?
If you guys use colors other than those three I mentioned do you guys kind of obviously see that theres more then one color shining?
Like for purple it looks like purple on top and redish on bottom. Clearly like two colors.

Anyone? Just wanna know if its how others have it or just me??

Sure it does
I have Light Flow set up to show a solid yellow color while charging. When I plug in my phone, the LED blinks on then off. If I turn the screen off, the yellow light cones on like it should. If I then turn the screen on without unlocking the phone, the light remains.
Only after I unlock the phone does the LED not function.

I found that problem was because of the ROM I was on. Some ROMS would need me to launch the lightflow app to clear the notification, but I use CND and it works exactly like it is supposed to. I could flash AOKP and it would work how you describe.

Does it have any kind of effect on battery life? Seems like it would keep the phone awake.

LED notification

So, I sold my Nexus S and bought a Galaxy Nexus today. I cannot seem to figure out exactly how the LED works. It doesn't seem to work reliably for all notifications.
Can someone please explain how the LED system works and also if you can customize the colors per app/person

Light flow from the Market...

I second light flow. It gets hung up sometimes and still glows after I viewed the message or call. But stock notifications never worked right.

I like the setting for it to clear the led when you turn on the screen. I don't think it's ever hung up on me that way.

On stock there doesn't seem to be a way to adjust the notification light, without the aid of an external application. In saying this though, I haven't been able to work out the rate/times it blinks as sometimes it seems to double blink then sleep for a longer period then blink at a normal pace.
I only really have text messages come through with the odd call, so I couldn't verify the other notifications.

I wish stock was able to dosimple mods to led notification like colour and interval. I dont like tonnes of apps to run in the background all the time.

This is such an obvious improvement I would be astonished if it did not show up in one of the next ICS updates.

Yeah its the only way LightFlow can work without false positives it seems.
And the GNex has a ton of RAM. Having a 7mb app in cached background is am issue?! The RAM is on anyway, you might as well use it.

I think both stock notification and light flow are far from being perfect. Both failed on various occasions, the former more than the latter. Therefore, I think there is room for a new app to accurately control LED notifications on the Galaxy Nexus. I would pay even 10 - 15 euros for such an app.

Shame that setting isn't global

Using Light Flow Lite also. My tip is to just use it to manage the LED, don't use it to manage sounds/vibrates unless you feel like being really anal about your notifications. I found when setting it up that I got a lot of double notifies and crap that I didn't want. Just my 2c.

Light flow, anyone get it working?

Hi everyone, hope everyone is enjoying their phone, I'm loving it.
Anyone get the light flow app working for the notification leds? I installed it, but as soon as I do the green led starts flashing for nothing, had no missed calls etc. Only when I uninstalled it, it stopped.
I need it as the inbuilt one only flashes for a short time. I'm stock not rooted. Thanks alot
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Everything that i've read suggests that lightflow wont work because the LED in the One X is not capable of emulating any colour, only those that it was designed for.

Oh that's a bit disappointing, I don't even mind the stock green light, just wish it would flash till I stop it. Not flashing long enough for me. Thanks.

Did anyone find a solution to the green blinking issue?
Light Flow does actually work for me in the way I want it to (even though the LED can only do red and green). In root mode with direct access, I can do things like made sure that the light stays on steady green if I have a text message waiting, instead of blinking. It's also lets me customise the vibrations, so it's very useful.
BUT it has this annoying "bug" of blinking the light green for no reason.
