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.
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.

This.
Have used lightflow in the past, worked flawlessly.

So every now and then my notifications will just randomly stop. I will get texts but the notification will not appear on my status bar, and my notification light won't blink either. Phone won't vibrate, nothing.
Only starts working again when I reboot. Happened on 2 different rom and kernel combos. First time, CM9 + Jame Bond and now AOKP and Franco 181. Anyone know how to fix this problem? It's really annoying.
No my notification is not set to off nor do I have any power saving mode.
Do you have any secondary apps that cause the notification to seem like it's already been viewed/opened, such as SMS Popup?

Nope. Only stock messaging app.
Any way to make my phone screen light up everytime I receive a notification? Currently it only vibrates (i'm on silent) and flashed the notification LED so I can't tell which app's notification it is. Thanks in advance

If you install xposed you can use the smsxposed module to make your phone wake on new text messages. I think there's one for voicemails as well. Might even be one for all notifications.
FIXED -- SEE FIX BELOW
I have an odd problem. My TMo SIII receives text messages fine. However, the notification ringtone does not play until the phone is rebooted. I have notifications turned on, and it vibrates and gives a visual notification just fine. It's just the notification ringtone. All other notification ringtones work fine and notifications volume is turned up to full.
Any ideas how to fix this?
FIX: TURN OFF SMS IN GOOGLE HANGOUTS
Thanks!
Good to know! Thanks for updating with the solution!
