Application for flashing 3 led buttons on SGS when missed call or SMS ???

Hello all,
we all know that SGS has no led to inform us about missed calls/sms. Does exist some application which can inform me when I have missed call or received sms by flashing 3 down buttons on SGS??? I know that some Nokia phones have it!
Thank you for help!

We all know it is possible and it's been done a long time ago. It's called BacklightNotification by Neldar, search for BLN in the Market, you need a ROM/Kernel which supports it, if it's not present the BLN app will tell you where to get it from.
After you get it, search for an app called Blinky in this sub forum, it makes the LED's flash when you receive any notification.

thank you for answer! Is it possible by this app also change the intensity of blinking? I mean like rising up/down

check out no led too it works great notifies u for almost anything enjoy.

As in when it pulses? Nope, it can only flash atm. The dev is working on the pulse one, there are certain CPU issues to deal with and we don't have the firmware which controls the backlights, so makes it more difficult. I'm doing some testing for him so hopefully soon
NoLED is good but he wasn't asking about that, still a good app.

Red border blinking around some applications

Hi, Since I didn't get 4.0.2 update I decided to unlock the bl and manually flash the update from google on my brand new GN.
Once unlocked and booted with factory reset.. got a pop up for 4.0.2 update.
After the ota update I found that when I'm opening some apps like picture galary, market etc a red border flashing around the application and going away. Its replicable when I enable/disable auto brightness.
Anyone else get this?
Regards

Pretty sure he wasn't being a jerk. Seems he was just mentioning how happy he was that search worked for him to find this thread and the answer he was looking for...

i noticed this first when using google maps and I thought they added a red flash on upcoming new turns. I thought that was an amazing addition to turn by turn nav as I hate the voice portion so much I mute it.
alas, I am saddened and now have to decide to rid myself of it.

If you hate the voice just for the way it sounds, I recommend installing INOVA high quality text-to-speech, it sounds so great, and best part is that once you install it, it works for every text-to-speech function on your phone. If you hate the voice for other reasons, then idk...

An app to sound alarm?

Anybody know of an app that can remotely make the nexus 7 make a noise so i can find it. I know plan B can help locate it after it has gone missing, but i know (99% sure) its in my house, just not sure where
Thanks

If you do this often, you could use Tasker to make the Nexus say something like "Help me! I have fallen and can't get up" when you
send a specific message to the Nexus. This takes advance planning.
If your Nexus is currently lost - no idea. Mine makes a noise every time I get a text message or EMail.

Yeah. I always mis-place my phone and tablet, sometimes losing them for days. I tend to leave my phone on load so i can ring it but doesnt work for tablet.
I have ceberus but my trial ran out 2 days ago so i cant use that
Does anybody know if i unlock the full version online, will it register on my nexus automatically?
Thanks

Found it now was under my pillow :what:
Anybody know any good doctors?

There is an App for that - check out any of the Eliza programs.
Unfortunately - none of them look very good.
There is a financial opportunity here, all you wanna be programmers!

The original Lookout app can sound an alarm. Or androidlost. That one is great, has many many features, and I'm pretty sure one of them is an alarm.

Cerberus will sound a loud siren if you choose to send a command via cerberusapp.com. It's not free, but I think it was one of the better apps I've purchased .

It's just another way to have a notification, Personally I hate vibration on table it's noisy when you need total silence(I've a little child)
to others ,yes app is on the google play.
this one :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm5vdGlmaWNhLmZsYXNobGlnaHQiXQ..
there is a free edition too, it works for sms and gmail notification only.

[Q] Would this be a possible mod?

would it be possible to mod the phone so that when on silent the LED Flash does a strobe kind of thing to notify you of an email, missed call, text, etc...?
Has this been done on any other phones that anyone is aware of?

Take a look here and see if this might be what you're looking for. I haven't tried it myself but it looks very customizable.

thanks, I think that one only controls the notification LED. I am actually curious about the flash for the camera.

The original concept for the app was to flash the menu keys for devices without a notification LED. You might be able to request from the dev a mod to make it for the camera flash?
Update:
The original thread for the app is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1958939
If you look at the first post, screenshot #3, the 6th config choice is "Use flashlight instead of hard buttons" -- might be worth trying out... :good:

Try flash blink. To lazy to search for the forums. Its a really great app. Just no LED for email. Only alarms, text and calls.
EDIT: Flash Blink

That is awesome. It lights up the entire side of my desk, it's exactly what I needed!

I knew I had to search for one and when I found it, it was awesome. Now I could have my phone out and in silent and the blink would notify me. Works with my 3rd party message app as well.

ha! What a great app! Everyone keeps asking, "Umm... what's wrong with your phone?"

It really annoys my sister every time I get a text. "Turn that thing off"
