wanted: LED control

I love the DEFY really, but couldn´t find a customizer yet for the built in LED.
I want to config behaviour for e.g. sms or emails . Any ideas?

Hello
You should have a look at Missed Call, available on the market.

I use missed call, sms notifier, email notifier.
The great thing with email notifier is you can select a different color depending of the e-mail account.

I tried Missed calls for Android 2.x on my Defy today but it didn't work. The LED was still blue when receiving a call and didn't flash when missed either.
Anyone having an idea?
I tried to disable led notification in the phone's settings but it still didn't work

App Blink -> Android Market

Same thing for me. Tested all the apps. The led is not working.
Even with Led tester which says that is compatible with defy, doesn't work. What to do?

I had a problem with the LED. When I activated it with the apps, nothing happen. I had to go in the phone settings to activate the LED.

Thanks for the hint molexxx. Do you own a Defy? Because I tried that app and it is not forking either. Not with LED turned on or off in general phone settings.
The only time I see this LED ever working is when receiving a phone call it is blue no matter what app I tell to light it in a different color

Have you tried "LED me know"?

Yes I have a defy. It works perfectly.

TESLA app is working for me.

I've used "Flashlight" (use camera LED) & "Shake-Flashlight" (use screen LED) from my Defy and both works fine

MotoTorch for LED, and QuickSettings has a Display Flashlight included.

I didn't have any luck with any of these programs either. Missed Call only worked for missed calls, lol. No other programs would change the color of the front LED.

[Q] free app to better control instant message notifications?

Hi all!
I'm wondering if any of you know of any free apps that would help the epic better control the text message notifications. As stock, it rings/vibrates once and then one will not know unless they look at the screen. Looking for an app that will either keep vibrating/ringing intermittently if the user has not viewed the message.
Any help would be really appreciated... Thanks!

i dont know if youve tried it... but i disable all notifications for the stock messenger and install handcent. its themeable and EXTREMELY customizable as far as notifications go. you can even choose between pink, red, and blue for your led notifier. but just to let you know... your phone will stay awake while your led is blinking if you set it that way... killing your battery.

Light Flow doesnt work with 'swiped away' notifications

Does anyone else have this problem?
New email comes in and the LED flashes green (like I configured it).
But if I Swipe it away, it constantly stays on and flashes green. It stays like this until another email comes in, which I actually click on.
Posting this here because I read the dev is on here and may see it if it is a real bug.

if you go in light flow app where you set up notification color and etc...there's 3 options to set how to clear notification style. Is enter app to clear selected? Try changing it to manual.

I remember the dev saying that he couldn't access the return code for swiping away notifications from the SDK. One workaround is to set the 'clear notification' to 'open notification center' so everytime you pull down the notification bar it would clear that LED.

[Q] Your experience with Lightflow?

I've read some people saying they have had really bad problems with Lightflow that affect things like booting their device while others have said they have had no problems at all with it. What is your experience with it?
The options for LED control sound awesome, but I'd prefer not to screw up my week-old GN if I can help it.

In my experience, it works flawlessly

I've never had any problems. I definitely suggest giving it a try. I'm sure you'll love it.

The only problem that I have is when I dismiss an notification, the light doesn't go off. It keeps blinking.
Eg. Facebook notifications. I swipe them in my status bar to remove them, but as soon as I lock my screen, the notification LED glows blue. It happens sometimes even if I read the message or notification in the app.

Now that you mention it, when I received an email through the Hotmail application the light would not go away unless I opened the app. That's the only flaw I've found.

The only issue I have is that you have to open the app for the notification to get rid of the blinking light. Everything else works fine for me.

Iirc, it happens that way because lightflow monitors the apps, not the system notification. Like the description says, if the app isnt in the lightflow monitoring list, you wont get an led light for it.

There's a couple o' spots in settings, one in general, and one for the specific app notification that should look after that.
i. e. Clear the light after opening status/notification bar.

I used to have it and had no problems at all. Worst case you can always just delete the app.
I rooted my phone and downloaded a custom rom and now don't need light flow anymore since the rom has custom notif. light set up.

Never had problems, I set it to dismiss notification with screen on so I don't have to open that certain app

I've had extreme display glitches. Upon boot my screen would flash a green/pink burst of static, and post light flow I haven't a single issue.
Try Liquidsmooth, the integrated led has all of the same features.

help, lightflow + go sms...not getting led sms notifications :(

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?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

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:
