Still amoled, still no batery usage on black screen so yes it should still work without to much battery drain
Just tried it and works fine.

I thought I had read somewhere that the Galaxy S II had custom controls over the lights under the capacitive buttons. I take it that can't be used to show notifications without a custom kernel though?
It works.. BUT. When noled is on and displaying, it keeps the phone awake which rubbed out 70% of my battery in 6 hours..
It was the first app i installed, have this on my Galaxy s also. I have always had noled set to turn off after 30 minutes if the phone is not used. I figure if you have not looked at your display for 30 minutes, then there is no point in having it continuing on, also, you can have it set the phone to minimum brightness when it is on, so battery consumption is not that bad. Works great though, best app developed for these Samsungs.
Hi there,
Has anyone got this to work for emails? I have several Email accounts set up, but the only one that shows in the email list is the Google one. I have tried putting watches on the Email app(s). With no joy.
Any tips?
Thanks

For any email accounts other than gmail you have to open up 'Toggle notifications' which then should pop up asking you to enable noled in the accessibility settings. After that, just scroll down the list and enable 'Email'. If, like me, you have 2 email check boxes, just enable them both. Works great, with no problems

I read this as well...
The only controls you have for the capacitive lights is how long they stay on for when you are using the device.

Which means that the software can somehow control the lights (telling them how long they should stay on), so with a custom kernel/ROM it should be possible to use them as notification lights.
On the SGS though, there was a mod which used the bottom lights of the device... So maybe somebody can port that mod to the SGS2???

Yes, Neldar's BLN. The downside of that solution is the requirement of kernel support, whilst NoLED works right away on stock. Some users report heavy battery drain on NoLED, something that I personally never've experienced, though.
Yeah, and we are not that far yet with the SGS2 that we have the kernel support I assume.
Just checked this out, think I may have to download it. Thanks guys
Im waitin eagerly for one of the devs to provide support for bln, keep checking my phone every 5 mins for notifications! Killing my productivity

I've been using NoLED on my GSII for about a day now. Doesn't affect battery life that much. However I do check the notifications within 5-10 mins so it doesnt stay lit for long.
One issue I observed is when I receive a text and I swipe the message icon in the lock screen, it takes 3-5 seconds to open the messaging application. With NoLED disabled it is pretty much instantaneous.
noled and missed calls
I am having trouble getting NOLED to notify me for missed calls. The app works flawlessly for texts and emails. I have spent a week studying all my "setting's" in both the apps and phones menues. I is a Galaxy s ll. Thank you

Found out about this from the G2 forum
"LED Me Know" is a great app (available from the market) which you can use to make the LED blink for notification ! You can select if you want it to blink for new SMS, gmail, missed calls, etc. Also there's an option to make the trackpad light blink, though I've not tried that myself. Works great on my DZ with stock ROM

had it for 1 day, and deleted, cuz when i receive sms or email while i sleep, the blink will either wake me up, or it will drain out the battery by the time i wake up (after it blinked for so many hours....)

ok, so why not put the phone face down, or in its case or something if you don't want to see the LED flashing ? Another alternative is to turn off the service when you want to go to sleep (just go into the app and select the option to turn it off).
And did you find it to really drain the battery overnight ?
Maybe it's not for you though.
Unfortunately I also had a problem with this app draining the battery. I installed it on my stock T-Mobile G2 and experienced less than a third of my typical battery life today while using it. Not sure if the app itself is causing this or the flashing LED is drawing that much current. I uninstalled it for now.
I have a stock HTC raider and I'm wondering how to set up led notifications on the front of phone if at all possible.

how in the hell is it draining ur battery??? i get emails and texts when im asleep and my battery percentage barely moves while im asleep for hours on end on noled.

Noled is the best app ever for this phone! no battery drain at all for me, it doesn't even show up in my battery usage stats because it's so low.
Imo it's even better then an LED because you can instantly see what activity you've missed by just glancing at the screen.

The one thing I miss about my G2x is the light in the buttons pulsing s when I had a notification. Loved that.

BLN > NoLED
I don't like how NoLED is option-less for the most part. Like you can't set it up so the notifications just display in one location, aligned, and nice looking, no you're forced to have them display in random positions on the screen, its kinda weak sauce. With BLN its just like having an LED again. The pro version is well worth it, giving the ability to blink your buttons, its even BETTER than having an LED on the phone (except for different colors for different apps, etc).
Sorry for the late response...Personally I feel BLN is the best option as it uses the capacitive keys rather than the screen.. its as if you have a notification bar! I haven't seen any difference in battery or stability and EVERY notification is received in a timely fashion.
it kinda sucks that you need a compatible kernal for BLN. im scared to root my galaxy s2 and flash a kernal due to previous bad luck with my vibrant. so i will stick with noLed. i love the charging percentage on the screen and all the options it offers.
Noled works fine for me
Sent from the bridge of the
U.S.S. Enterprise using L.T.Com Worf
I have owned quite a few Samsung phones and noled would drain the battery a lot across all of the phones I have tried it on. BLN is the way better option as long as you are running a kernel that supports it.
UPDATE
i finally rooted and flashed a kernal plus custom ROM.
i now use BLN with Noled and i see no difference in the battery!
they both work well. you cant go wrong with either choice.
Noled gives you beautiful visual notifications (plus custom icons) i have mine set up so that i can double tap my screen to turn it on. well its already on but you know what i mean lol. also i have set it so when i charge my phone i get a charging percentage.
Bln actually gets annoying. im the type of person that doesnt always clear my notifications so my LED lights are always blinking due to bln lol. bln doesnt give you an idea of what type of notification you have so you actually have to unlock your phone to see. thats a problem for me because sometimes i ignore my phone depending on the notification. with Noled i can actually see that i have a email, which i will ignore because i dont really care to check my email. with. with noled you get a glimpse at what to expect. 3text messages 2missed calls and 5 emails with BLN its just blinking lights.
i like both apps and use them together. i do prefer noled over bln. it just comes down to personal preference of how you like your visual notifications.

I am currently trying out Juice Defender free on the standard preset for my unmodded Galaxy Nexus. Unfortunately I am not thinking that I am going to continue with it.
So far it has crashed my phone to reboot (first time that has happened) and when not using my 4g it turns it off but it takes forever for it to come back on once I want to use the phone and it gets pretty frustrating having a useless phone for about 5-8 minutes everytime I pick it up.
I hope you have better luck than I am having.

Strange. It's never done any of that on mine. I'm on HSPDA+ though.
As for whether if makes a difference I'd definitely have to say a big yes. But it all depends on how you use your phone.
Ultimate working nicely here. Syncs every 15 min like it should. Screen is eating 60-70% so it makes only a small difference.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I bought ultimate, and found it to be a bit of a hog. I then turned off all the extra stuff and went back to the basic setting - the same as the free version, and noticed very little difference.
I think it might help you if you're one of those people who accidentally leaves radios on, or don't have high signal most places you go. For me a UV kernel made the only real difference.
It works well but not saving as much battery as it did on Gingerbread. Default Android idle-time battery management seems to have got much better.

This. I see a nice increase in battery life while I'm not using it, but if I have it on a lot (which I usually do) the battery gets drained pretty quickly.
I keep my phone on CDMA mode most of the time, unless I need to download something or want to watch a movie, then I switch to CDMA/LTE. I'm still not sure how much it helps though, as I've only had the phone for a little over a week.
For me, JD Ultimate works wonders. Especially when I'm at work and not playing with the phone too often and having only 2 signal bars, JD enables radio every 30 mins to allow apps to sync. It also manages my brightness automatically, which results in screen usually taking less than 50% of battery.
In general it helps me a lot, like it did on SGS2. My night schedule uses airplane mode and I only loose 2-3% over night.
I would have to remember about too many things if not using JD, so for me well worth it.

It does, i never used beta and JD controls my brightness. Remember there is a bug related to manual apk install where you cant tap install. I still use JD for brightness, just disable it in quick menu when manually installing apps then reenabling right away.

When JD is managining brightness, if the phone is asleep, when waking it up with the power button the screen comes full brightness and then settles to a lower level, which is quite annoying. Do you see this happening too?

That is totally weird, cause mine seems to wake up high and only then lower the brightness. I wonder if it's ROM related, although I'm on stock kernel 4.0.3.

Beacuse, believe it or not, it provides functions that some people find useful. Same goes for LightFlow, if you like the white-only color led notification of pure android, then you don't need this app either. If you prefer more colors/choices, then you do.

I purchased JD Ultimate yesterday so I can't really comment on how well it is improving my battery life. I will say that I am having issues going back to LTE when the screen is unlocked (Using the network mode setting). The phone keeps going to WCDMA instead of LTE. However, I noticed that since I have been using JD Beta 3.8.8, version 3.8.9 has come out and has addressed a few of my issues. The configure apps now works without crashing JD. I still don't know if the LTE is functioning incorrectly as I haven't had time away from my computer (I have no Wi-Fi at my hotel and must tether).
Is anyone else experiencing issues with the phone going to WCDMA mode after the phone wakes up? Also, what version of JD are you using?

There is this OLD free app I have been using for a long time. SIMPLE and EFFECTIVE.
It's a Screen On Widget. When you want the screen to stay on, simply click either a SHORTCUT or a WIDGET. You can disable from the notification bar as well. It's a manual solution. There are other automatic solutions, but they will cause some battery drain and mild cpu. It's hard to find. I uploaded it here.

This option is removed in TouchWiz, its an AOSP option. However, this is one if the first things I've re-added to TouchWiz. OP, if you can survive until Monday, I'll post up a flash able package to re-enable this option.

As promised, here's a CWM flashable package that will re-enable the "Stay Awake" option in Settings > Development.
This is for the SGH-I747, UCALH1. This package is for a stock, deodexed ROM, so if you're running an odexed ROM you'll want to delete your /system/app/SecSettings.odex file after flashing.
Enjoy!
as a precaution just remember that Samsung removed the option to prevent burn-in to the amoled screens, something that was a big problem on the epic 4g. also to reduce wear on the leds.

Hi all. Been really enjoying the note 2. However in the past day or two I've noticed a sudden drop in battery life. Like a bit more than usual day to day. The only thing I can put it down to at the minute could be I installed the noozoxiode dsp manager. Apart from that I have installed senti wayk alarm clock and an icon pack for nova launcher.
Ive also installed a battery monitor and its not really telling me anything!
Ive a feeling it's the noozoxiode dsp. As you do have to set it as a music effect in the system settings and it kinda takes over or sits on top of anything musical. So it must be running all the time, but it doesn't seem to take up much ram.
Ive checked in the applications manager and theres nothing weird in there. Also task manager seems fine and im an almost constant half and half overall ram use.
Im not rooted and running the stock rom 4.1.1 that came with the phone.
Hope this is all the info. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the tips. Had all those set anyway and ive heard of smart stay but not sure what it is?
I have brightness set to auto but if I remember right I may have knocked the slider in the notification bar and its been on half since. Like all the time, And it doesn't move when I toggle auto brightness! Ive now had the slider down to the absolute minimum and still have auto brightness checked for the past 40 mins or so.
Screen display had been showing a pretty constant 35% in battery settings.
So leave it for now on thw minimum brightness slider or is there a way to "reset" the slider?
