[Q] LED notification?

Does the s2 have this option? If so where do I enable it? I hate having to keep turning on the phone to see if I missed any messages or notifications... Thanks

The T-Mobile variant does not have LED notifications. Its a bummer but it is what it is.

Edit: Solution below.

I'm sure once we have root you'll be able to use the main button LED's for notifications.

how did u get the super mario theme? ^-^

Okay, I got it to work... Now when the led shows. Is there another way to go straight to the app that the led came up for? Or do I have to dismiss it first, then power on phone?
Also, is there a way from preventing the screen to turn on/off when the message or miss call comes in... I just want the led to show, no light up

how much of a battery killer is this app? just wondering haha

Notification LEDs
Are there any notification leds on this phone? I have missed a few calls and received texts, but only found out after I powered back up from standby. I have only ever had HTC phones before, and they all had notification leds...any help would be great..TIA

Not at the moment. It would be awesome if we could make the soft keys flash to notify though!

I don't really miss the LED notification that much (although i think it would be nice to have). Having a soft key flash would be REALLY cool though

Better to ask these questions in the Noled forum on xdA, talk to the Dev
Just type in Noled theme in xda forum search.

Thanks didnt know that...

I wish they'd have put the same blue LED they put in the sprint model... I like blue :/

No led notification for missed calls?

Ok it blinks in blue when i have facebook notification but when i have missed call there is no outside indication what so ever.
I was so used on my nexus one the trackball to pulse in red when i have missed call, why there isn't built-in option for that here?
Any 3rd party software to solve that?

Lightflow

Thanks, seems that this will do the job.
But i'm still curious how they didn't give us a way to configure something quite important as that? Or at least had some default settings....
Other thing that bothers me, that there is no indicator for charging....

welcome to Galaxy Nexus! here are other possible issues you might encounter now ..

[REQ] Speed up LED Notifications in Jelly Bean

So, I've been running Jelly Bean for the past few days, and I'm loving it. It's been a little tough coming from AOKP and not having all the features, but I know they're working hard. I've noticed that LightFlow isn't working quite right yet with Jelly Bean. I was wondering how hard it would be for someone to make a zipthemer or a flashable .zip to change the LED notification on/off duration. I was thinking blinking every .5 to 1 second. Anyone else with me? Thanks in advance!

Light flow works great on my phone. All you have to do is open and close the app when the led stays on

Yes open let the app load then close. That will clear all the led that are on for no reason.

I'm finding light flow hardly works at all. On rare occations it would work and that would be if i reset the app and have a persistent icon. I'm really missing this app too. I hope the developer fixes it or someone else gives us an alternative. It's one of those apps id gladly pay $5 dollars for, possibly $10 if it was flawless.

light flow was fixe last week, and it is jelly bean compatible. works fine for me (v. 3.0.4) :good:

You don't have to do this anymore since it was updated for jb. Surprise you didn't realize that unless you don't get updates because you didn't pay for the app

Light flow is not working at all for me,
I run the debuger widget and the light flow notification widget and they indicate that the app simply does not pick up any of my notification.
I have tried everything i can think of to get it to work, like removing other apps that i suspect may be interfering but no luck.:crying:

For those who have issues, you can try trackball alert, available on play store.

LED notification....

Does the Gnex have an LED notification light? I have yet to see one.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Sure does. Its below the display. RGB too.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

The notification light in Gnex is one of my favourite options in the phone. Some ROMs provide full customization of the notification light ( ex. Paranoid android) . I've set it to flash blue for missed calls , yellow for SMS, green for whatsapp and red for tango

It only lights up when the screen is off?

The rom has to support it, and you have to manually set it up...

I installed light flow. That's how I found it. I'm running Affinity rom and have not seen it work before. Maybe the rom doesn't support it.

Lightflow has been really flaky for me (misses many notification events). The built-in settings in CM10 works best. I don't recall it missing anything.

Except for receiving a phone call . It lights when the screen is off or on. That's at least what my phone does with PA rom

I love how I makes it pulse when I charge my phone.

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^

Yup, didn't know there was one also. I got the point of thinking... maybe the VZW version just doesn't have one :crying:
And then it happened...:victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory:

Galaxy Nexus + LightFlow has been a great combination for me. The RGB LED notification is a must for me with any future phones.

is a full on Rom the only way to customize it? Only thing id really like to see, is for it to pulse a bit faster. The length in time it takes to pulse is too long imo. I could turn the phone on an look faster than it would take for me to stare at that point and see if there is a message.

use lightflow.

Must have been something with the Affinity rom. I loaded CNA and it works as its supposed to, plus its customizable.

You can install LightFlow (or another LED manager) to manage your LED Notifications.

First make sure you have the led turned on...its in the settings. Light flow will work but you have to disable talkback (its an Android problem not an LG issue) question.. does your led light up when you turn the phone on? ..when your phone is off turn it on if it lights up all the colors then its working if not then maybe a hardware issue.

Working for me. Did you enable it in accessibility settings and enable notifications for the individual apps you want notifications for (via Lightflow)?
I didn't try it with your AOSP Messaging app, yet. I wasn't even getting status bar notifications, though.

In your Accessibility Settings disable TalkBack and make sure Light Flow is enabled. Hopefully that straightens things out.

You need to actually go in to the main settings, General, apps, select talkback, force stop, and then disable it (you may need to uninstall updates first). I had the same problem a little while ago. Does it only say the letters using the LG keyboard? Mine didn't do it for other keyboards.
Also, if you use tasker at all, it can successfully control the led colors. If you want to play with it, you can assign different colors for specific notifications. I haven't done so yet for the ogp, but I made an app for the lgog (only one color for that led though). Also, if you look up something called "buttonled" by germainz here on xda, he has made a tasker profile and app that might work for you too.

I did a factory reset and went in and disabled talk back. Led works now with lightflow. Only thing that bothers me is when I test the new color, it'll blink new color then a different color then back to assigned color. That normal for this phone? Thanks for the help by the way.
