Hey guys, Ive tried to tweak just about every setting in lightflow to get it working how I want it but no success so I figured I'd ask you guys. Ill start off with what I'm trying to accomplish...
I want my missed calls to blink red
My gmails to blink green
My SMS to blink blue
and one specific SMS to blink orange with a different notification sound
Before i got lightflow, handcent was able to tweak the sms perfectly but then there's nothing to change emails or missed calls. With lightflow Ive been able to get everything working except the specific contacts sms...it always just comes in as blue
I can describe my setting in more detail...but I was wondering if anyone has been able to do this and what settings they are using? Thanks a bunch

At first, my notification LED was not working at all. I activated the option in the settings menu but no missed call or missed text would trigger it.
Now I downloaded the app "Light Flow" and now I get the notification light but it remains unreliable - sometimes it works fine, sometimes it still doesn't light up even though I have a text waiting.
Any ideas? I googled around and others seem to have the same issue...
My notification light seems to be working out of the box without any app. Gmail, Google voice, and text messages using handcent all blink different colors just fine.
Hello everyone,
I recently got a nexus and love it. Just one thing that I can't quite figure out is the notification light. Is it supposed to come on, when you have a text, email and notification from an app? I have it activated in settings but it doesn't seem to be coming on when I have a notification. Any ideas or special settings I should be aware of?
BIG THANKS IN ADVANCE!
When I'm charging my device, or if I receive a message my led lights up. I have light flow installed though. Didn't set up anything in my rom control settings.
Also when you receive a message do you check it right away or let it sit? If I check my message right away it doesn't come up if my phone is idle it flashes as a reminder.

Thanks, I can try that program. But isn't it supposed to show the notifications on its own? It did light up ONE time when I got an email. I'm on stock 4.0.2.
* Lightflow seemed to correct the problem. THANKS!
the built in notification is a fail. all the apps have their own settings which is why some pulse and some dont. Just download light flow..more control as to colour and pulse time and speed and such.
I dont use any app and my light works fine. Text blinks blue using handcent, google voice blinks green, gmail blinks white.
I believe the led can be configured by any app if the dev codes it in, but google did not give us control of it, instead letting devs handle it. Cyanogen surely will have built in controls.
I did a search and didn't find anything(although I used the mobile app to search, read:aggravating)on this subject. I want to know if there is a mod to change the led flash to blue for messages and missed calls instead of red. Just a personal aggravation, really. Not something I absolutely can't live without, clearly.

The only thing I know of is to use GO SMS. You can change the LED to blue for SMS messages through GO SMS but I don't think it will change the color for missed calls.
LightFlow has been working very well for me on default mode on EL29 and FC22. Only blue and red work, but they work reliably. You can get purple to work if you use "direct mode", but I find that the LED turns off when the phone goes to sleep mode, so it's not very useful as a notification light.
re
I as well have been looking for a WAY or MOD or APP that will successfully allow me to change the LED notification accordingly but yet have been able to find anything that FULLY works. Liteflow doesnt FULLY work as the adjustments are off and when screen times out its pointless pretty much.
The ONLY thing Iv been able to find for another "notification method" is having the LED Flash from the Camera flash for an alert. Pretty cool thought if you have your phone faced down and dont here it.... Send me a message as for request if anyone wants the know how to set that up and I'll give you step by step..
try blink from the marketplace. its like lightflow, but its much lighter and more efficient and works great.
keep in mind the led will only display blue red or purple tho.
blink is one of my must have apps

Hey man, might i ask how do i set it up for my camera flash to be my alert for notifications? that would be awesome
I've been using lightflow since I got my galaxy nexus. I like the ability to use different colors for different app notifications. Well I installed go SMS because I like the different skins and ways you can customize it. I guess lightflow doesn't support this app, but go sms has in app notification LED settings. However they don't seem to work, they've worked on phones I've owned in the past. I'm guessing lightflow is blocking it. Does anyone know any way around this? Is there a similar texting app that has customization that works with lightflow?
Did you try checking the boxes within light flow, notifications , sms for alternate on/off monitoring?
Do u have enable led in go SMS settings?

This was confusing because light flow says to disable notifications in go sms if you want notifications to work. But when I did that I got no notifications at all. I tried all combinations of alternate on/off and no luck.
After trying all combinations of settings, this is how I eventually got it to work:
In Go SMS I have notifications set to on and have the LED set to green.
In light flow I have the sms notifications set to on, alternate on checked, and alternate off checked, and the LED set to green.
I restarted the phone several times before this worked.
Hopefully this will help anyone else who has this problem in the future :good:
Any config setting or app to make LED stay on when a message or voice mail is received in Hangouts??? really need a fix or I need to maybe switch to hangouts as text message default app but don't want to mix personal and business just because of a lame LED notification..
I use Google Voice a lot so I have Hangout and Hangouts dialer and Google Voice app. I use it for potential business... So since I started using the LG G4
I have not seen much action in hangouts. I checked and had 2 text messages unread. In my previous phone Note 2, if I did not hear the message sound the LED light would stay on. That way I was able to know I got a message even when I missed the sound or vibration.
Now on the LG 4G the LED light up very lightly and flashed about every 15 seconds.... I'm not going to stare at my phone for 15 second to see if I have a message or not. LOL..

I've been using "Light Manager" without any issues. You can pick the color and flash rate for individual apps. Just make sure you leave the LED options in the phone setting menu to on.
I use Lightflow. There were issues with rapid blinking instead of solid colors but setting a long interval manually has taken care of that so far.
Weird.. My hangouts cause my LEDs to flash..
I'm not using any special apps either..

I'm using Light Flow and I don't have any issue. You can even set up per contact LED there are many features you can use in light flow and you can customize any way you want.
