Is my led working?

Hi all, I've just missed called my gn phone to check how the led notifications are working, I see no led notification at all, no led lights anywhere on the phone to let me know I have a missed call? Is there something I need to set up, thanks

Check your notification settings

There is also an option "pulse notification light" in Display settings.

i have the same problem.
i have ticked the option "pulse notification light" in Display settings but th eLED doesnt flash after receiving a miscall. i waited a few mins and still nothing.
i know the LED works because it flashes while the caller is calling, but just switches off after the caller hangs up.
is there another notification setting for this other than the one in Display Settings?

The notification LED has been implemented pretty badly natively. In addition to not appearing very consistently it also only flashes white. Look for the app Light Flow on the market and use that instead.

Thanks Chrono.
I just saw the Light Flow app recommended on the other LED notifications thread and tried it, and it works well!
But yes i agree its seems a pretty sloppy implementation by default, i hope it gets fixed in a software update, although i probably wont be moving away from light flow with all the extra control you get with it

is there a way to have the notification light always on?

I love having my notification light but after unlocking my phone it goes away. I dont always look at the notification the first time I unlock it so I forget about it. also it would be nice if it stayed on while I was using the phone. Suggestions on getting both of these features

Light flow. You can set it so the notification stays until you open the app

Yeah, I am able to use Light Flow. However, the color is different what i set in the light flow.

Customize led notification?

I want to be able to change how fast the led blinks bc every time I look at it I have to stare at it for at least 30+ seconds to see if I have a message. Thx

If you're rooted you can use the app called light flow. It allows you to change the color of each notification light and the frequency it blinks at

Light Flow
You can use the Light Flow app to manage your notifications. You can alter the light speed (slow to always on), and light color, along with vibrations.
It's nice to be able to know whether or not you got an e-mail or a text, with only the vibrations in your pocket.
Check the market, comes in a "Lite" (free) version and a $1.99 full version (more apps supported).
Root is not required. I've been using it on my nexus since the day I got it.

Careful with Light Flow, When I installed it and set it up, whenever my phone went to sleep mode the program wouldn't allow my phone to wake up again. I summarily uninstalled it and got a refund.

An update from the developer takes care of this issue. The app works as advertised, quite well too.

I also recommend Light Flow, it has worked flawlessly for me. I really like how it allows you to choose whether you want the LED to rotate through all your notifications, show the most recent, or show the highest priority.

You don't even need to be rooted to use light flow!

is it possible to add WhatsApp to lightflow?
(I see its supported in "additional apps supported by light flow", but the device only detects Google Talk in social apps)

Yes, default colour green.

Go with Lightflow. Another nice feature for us crackflashers is, Lightflow will let backup your settings/preferences so once you set up a new rom and install the app it takes 2 seconds to restore your settings.

Recently whenever I enable lightflow in accessibility my phone gets all ****ed up and I can only do something if I use 2 fingers

[Q] App for notification LED

There are some apps which send me notifications to the notification bar, but they don't allow any LED configuration, so I have to turn the screen on to see them. Is there any app to set up LED alerts?

Not really sure what you mean, but you could try LightFlow. Within the app you can configure different LED notification colors to different apps (i.e. blue for gmail, green for gtalk, etc).

Using lightflow on a stock unrooted GNex. Gives me the notification led i need. I have set the colors different for each particular app that gives notifications so i know which is which

[Q] Led pulse

Having upgraded to 4.3 I'm forced to have the LED pulse instead of blink. Does anyone know of a way to restore this behavior to the LED?
Thanks,
Rick

Download LightFlow application to alter specific behaviors of the LED.

Please can you tell me how lightflow stops the pulsing behavior of the LED. You must be doing something different to me.
thanks

I found how to change the pulse back to a blink. Quite by accident. I had been using Devil's Kernel to get Boeffla sound.
There just so happens to be an option in there in the tweak section under LED Control which restores the blinking.
