Is there an app in the market compatible with ics, to change the colour led?
Thanks

I've been missing Lightflow since I went from an Atrix to GSII. Can't wait to get it back.

I can't get the test mode to do anything on this. I press test notification but nothing happens. Did I miss another setting?

Thanks for that - phone is upstairs on charge (as usual with its battery life hah, and I'm that lazy to go fetch it) - but I'll check when I go to bed later. Feel stupid for not trying this!

Ive found that turning off the screen still dosnt work for me but the app does actually work when i miss a call or text.

Thanks! new to android phones, works perfectly

It certainly works well.
But I find it to not work at times. Once I enabled the "force run in foreground" then I couldn't turn my phone screen on and had to take the battery out. So I think I'm fine with having it worked almost 80% of the time

It's a great app, quick and easy to setup.
But it does stop working sometimes, I've had it once or twice.

Does anyone else have problems with Lightflow? The notifications work well but then after I've checked the email or whatever, I turn the screen back off and the light carries on flashing, even though I don't have any more notifications

It depends on the notification, but if it's a Gmail notification and I open Gmail it goes away.

The app uses a few methods of clearing notifications.
At the moment 2.7.2 has a bug if you choose "screen" as the clear notification style. It's fixed in the dev build, but not in the market yet.
The others are manual (where you have to manually clear a lightflow notification in your notification bar) and finally "app". (some apps such as gmail have extra methods)
"App" monitors for entering the app (or pressing the "clear all" button in older builds of android) and clears when you've entered the app.
I'm guessing that if you swipe away a notification from the notification bar that the led might still keep going as with Gingerbread there wasn't a method to clear single notifications directly from the notification bar. I'm hoping this has changed in ICS. I know the accessibility service has had things added to it, but nothing jumped out at me that would add in the relevant hooks.
Remember when upgrading the app from one version to another (there's been a few updates over the last few days) that I'd recomment powering off and back on the phone.
Looking forward to running lightflow on a GN myself as I've just picked one up today.
This gives me chance to see if there are any cool features I can add into lightflow for ICS and specifically the GN.
Now, just to get my "real" job out of the way for the day so I can start playing with the GN!

does using lightflow affect the battery alot?
Apparently it drains alot

Lightflow gave me Sleep of Death, so I uninstalled it. All ok now.

Trackball alert pro is pretty cool too, one of my favorite apps on the n1, it's now compatible with ics , but currently only works on the modaco rom.

For those with Enterprise email/Exchange if you ever used Touchdown - might be good to go back.
Their light notifications work fine with Galaxy Nexus - set different notification colors for email, calendars and tasks
PS The Touchdown Tablet HD (Honeycomb) version actually works better though you need to pinch zoom out the email list to get the font smaller

Are you sure it's lightflow. If it is I'd be keen to work out what's causing it.
If anyone who had this issue is using lightflow, could they switch on file logging and then at least if it does happen you can mail to log to me and I'll take a look, but I've heard of others getting the sleep of death that have never installed the app.

I've been using light flow since I got my nexus last week, never had any issues. Great app!

[Q] My status bar stopped working - HTC ONE X

For some unknows reason my status bar stopped working.
All updates or mail notifications shows up - but it's inactivated
so when I touch it nothing happens.
Untouchable - a bit more transparent than normal.
Really annoying ...

Same thing just happened to me. I started a new thread before I saw yours. I can't figure it out. Did you try a factory reset?
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

Haven't tried yet - spent so much time with installing and transferring.
Maybe it's the only ...

I tried a factory reset....still not working. Can't find a lot of other people with this. But I am sure that it is just a software issue. Let me know if you find a solution..I will do the same.

are you guys rooted? if so try reflashing the rom

I'm not rooted. Not sure how..but it might come to it. I am sure that this is a software problem and if I might have to wait till HTC sends there next update. This is the only problem I am having and I purchased it at a local shop where I live so I can always exchange it but th there seems to be a lot of problems out there and if I "roll the dice" I could get worse. It's really annoying but I can survive for a couple of weeks.

Landscape mode
I'm not rooted either.
Found out that my bar works in landscape mode.
feels like the phone is working even if it gets hot from time to time
and loosing signal (need restart then)
Someone has a clue about this bar problem? Reason?

Great find. Does the settings when your in the camera app work? Mine does not. It's like the top 1/2 inch of the phone won't register any touch. I am starting to think that it might be a hardware problem.

I agree
The top section register no touch
I agree - but don't know what to do.
HTC support?

Give this a try.. Apps > Settings > Display > G-Sensor calibration > Follow the on screen instructions. Then attempt to swipe down to access your notification bar.
I contacted supportand this is what they told me but it was too late and I already dropped by my local shop and exchanged it for a new one.
Let me know if this works. I would like to know just in case it happens again.
I hope it will be that easy for you. I spent so much time trying to figure this out last night and I don't think that I tried this.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

Didn't work
The calibration didn't work.
Will speak to my company on Monday and have a new one.
Wish you good luck with your new.

yes. same here.... did anyone try flashing a new rom to get it to work? i have tried some but still failed....
also I noticed that sometimes the screen just froze, i wonder if theres anything to do with it.....

flash other roms and restoring back to stock didnt work... sigh all this happened after 3 weeks of usage.... i am kinda disappointed.. dont want to switch to S3 but I guess I will now....

some found how to fix this problem ??? i have this also right now

Same issue here. It is definitely a problem with the sensor at the top of the screen. I am rooted and installed Landscape Rosie (allows you to rotate sense in the landscape direction) and the notification bar works just fine in landscape but not in portrait. I am on the phone with AT&T as I write this. My phone is about 2 weeks old.

It might not be relevant, but this sub forum is for the Tegra3 version.

this is the same problem of the same tech, but the problem is there are no way to fix this problom

I got hit by this problem this weekend. I am quite surprised. Mine is one of the first few HOX's and there has been absolutely no problem with the phone.
In my status bar, I had the GSam Battery monitor, Bonny Box, swipe pad and the Easy battery saver. The problems started when I installed Bonny box and it constantly moved up and down, inside the status bar....sorta kept flickering everytime I pulled down the bar. I uninstalled bonny box since I didnt really need it. Things didnt really improve...the flickering continued.
Then I installed Notification Toggle late last week and then this problem hit me. Had about 5 shortcuts in the status bar. The status bar just would not respond until I restarted the phone. So I removed the battery monitor and saver from the status bar. Problem persisted. I removed the notifications from the bar and restarted and no problems then. I ran it like that for a day and then put back only the notifications into the status bar and havent had any problems yet.
I am going to put the Battery monitor and saver back tonite and lets see then what happens...
I am not rooted and everything is stock. India version. Hope it helps. Let me know if any more information from my end helps.

[BUG] Sometimes the led doesn´t blink

Hi, I have noticed that sometimes when I have a notification, the led doesn´t blink at all, and sometimes it does. I have official IMM76I, and I have noticed it mainly with Whatsapp, but it can be because is the only program I use with the phone silenced in my work.
Have you noticed that?

Where are we talking of color option?

I have noticed it even with GTalk and many other apps. Yesterday, I was playing when a notification sounded. Without turning on the screen, I kept watching the phone but the LED never blinked. I turned on the screen and I had a GTalk message.
Nothing else have noticed that problem?

I have had this problem as well on my VZW nexus on AOKP m5 and earlier versions as well. It doesn't happen all of the time, but maybe 10-15% of the time with SMS and at least 90% of the time with gmail.
I can see a gmail come in on the notification light on my Xoom, but nothing happens on my phone, I'll check the phone 5 min later and the email is there but no notification.

You mean there is not the notification icon on the upper bar?
My problem is different, I have the notification icon, but the led doesn´t blink

Notices this as well with various apps. Native as well as 3rd party. Doesn't bother me that much just makes the OS less 'perfect'.

Thanks for the idea, I have not tried the light flow app; but I have asked in another forums and people with than app also have noticed the problem.
Anyway, the objetive is to find the bug and report it to google, so they can fix it in the next update for our Gnex

Anyone else with the problem?

Is the option checked in each program? Those who flash rooms and rebuild everything might forget an app or two that does not have the option on by default.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

I've noticed from time to time as well... But the other thing is that even when it does blink, it often shuts off fairly shortly afterwards.
It would be nice if there was options to ensure that it blinks and keeps blinking until you acknowledge it.

Light Flow works perfectly for me. Never had an issue with it not blinking or blinking incorrectly.
I use it as not all the apps I have on my phone have LED light functionality natively, and Light Flow takes care of that.

Yes, because the problem is not always, and the same app can work, and not work sometimes..

[Q] Just purchased, notification light not working and other questions

Hello. I purchased the Epic 4G Touch two days ago from Best Buy, and I've realised that the notification light doesn't work correctly. When it's plugged in and charging it glows red, and when it's done charging it glows blue. But when it's not plugged in and I get an email, text, missed call, voicemail or Gmail notification, the light doesn't light up. I've checked that SETTINGS > DISPLAY > PULSE NOTIFICATION LIGHT is ticked, and it was. I've unticked it, shutdown, R+R battery, rebooted and re-ticked it, and still I have no light notifications.
I haven't rooted the phone, it's basically as it was out of the box, on Android 4.0.4, FH13, using the stock messaging app, stock email app for AOL mails, and the Gmail app. I can't see in any of those apps that I have to turn on LED notification, so I don't know what I'm not doing correctly.
Second question is that the guy at Best Buy told me that I should install the Battery Charged Silencer app from play.google.com/store/apps/ details?id=cz.psencik.simple.silence so that my phone doesn't beep in the night when it's done charging, Well, that's all well and good, but my phone doesn't beep when it's done charging, and actually, I'd like it to -- at least during the day -- so how do I make it so that it does beep when fully charged?
Third, I've noticed that the phone's brightness changes occasionally, but only when I open the browser. It's isn't because of Auto brightness, because it happens when I'm stationary in a room where the lighting level hasn't changed (and I don't use Auto brightness anyways). I usually set my phone to be pretty dim, but the browser is often much brighter than that when I open it. When I'm lying in bed, especially, I don't want to get blinded or disturb "Mrs me" when I access the internet. Does the browser have it's own brightness setting? If so I can't find it, so how do I set the browser brightness to be the same as the rest of the phone's? Or do I just have a dodgy screen light?
Also regarding the stock browser, coming from an Android 2.2 handset I fully expected things to be different, but I can't get the browser to open my bookmarks or give me access to the address bar unless I scroll back up to the top of the page. Am I missing something really obvious here, or is that just how it is now? It used to be that pressing the Menu button would let me do that, but it doesn't seem to work that way any more, and it's really annoying to have to scroll to the top of a very long page when I want to go to open a new page.
Fourthly, I know that the pre-installed apps can be deleted, and might have to do it with TelenavGPS. I clicked the app, which popped up with a notification that said "An update is required". I tapped the "update now" button, which opened the browser which opened Play Store, but the Play Store says the app is up to date. Should I delete it and re-download from the Store, or just delete it and stick with the Google Maps/Google Navigation apps? Why does Sprint install this when Google's comes installed as well? Is it supposed to be better?
And the last thing I'm confused about at this point is when I'm in the app drawer and tap the Menu Button and then Edit. When I tap the minus sign next to an app, it pops up with "This application will be deleted" and a Yes and a No button, but it isn't clear (to me) whether it will get deleted from my phone or just deleted from the app drawer.
Thanks for any help or info anyone can give me about these things. I know they don't seem like major problems, but they niggle at me and I can't help but worry that I picked the wrong phone or have a faulty one (with regards to the bad notification light and random dimming and brightening at least) that I need to exchange while I'm in my return period.

Browser has its own brightness settings. Hit menu and scroll down. Its right there.
Yes the address bar will scroll out of the screen when you scroll down.
No idea about the beep. Notification led should work. May be some one stock can check on that.
Remove telenav. Use google maps.

LED used to work on gingerbread for me but never on ICS TOUCHWIZ, works on AOSP though. Since I'm in a touchwiz ROM I'm just using blink app to make it work.

I use the app light flow for my notifications and make it blink blue. The app blink also works.
Not sure about telenav, never had any issues. You have to be rooted to remove some stock apps like the Sprint and Samsung stuff and I highly recommend it.

Notification LED was broken in FF18 and FH13 OTA releases. It is now fixed in FI27 which will be available OTA soon, also available via Kies.

Touchwiz is the Samsung launcher/ui just like HTCs sense and motos blur. My phone has never beeped when it was charged, and download and install kies on your PC and see if fi27 is available. Or check the fi27 discussion thread in general sub forum

[Q] Quickcircle shows downloading notification.

Hi,
My quickcircle shows the animated downloading logo quite often, I open the door and I don't get the same logo in the normal notifications.
Has anyone else come across this?
Thanks

Hv seen the same behaviour after an app update run manually via playstore. It lasted 2 to 3 seconds though the update was completed already. Just a small thing, such not bothering me at all.

I have also seen later the same as you described. It was with the black clock, changed it to another clock widget and it has gone.

I have noticed that only when i recently downloaded an app. Usually it goes away when i press clear on the status bar
