Charging LED app for the Galaxy Nexus

I found an app in the market that uses the LED for charging! All I can say is awesome. Red while charging and blue when charged. This should be standard on the Gnex. Works great!

Do you experienced sth about the battery?
If not i'll just try it

You could also try a program called lightflow which does all of that and more. There is a free version too.

I use Lightflow Pro and works very good on my Gnex. I can choice led color, blinking speed and duration of every notification for all programs (like Handcent SMS, WhatsApp, Gmail...). Simply the best.

Worth a go simple is the best if it doesn't use a lot of power

Yea light flow solves all led needs

So I gave it a go and it does what it says it does requires no permissions that you would find odd (only asks for vibrate because it has an option to vibrate when charged) so yeah if you don't want all the flash and extra that comes with lightflow I'd say give it a go

Awesome

Lightflow is the way to go

Any data on how much extra battery lightflow consumes to run its service even in standby?

Probably not much since it should only awaken the phone when you receive a notification but should lie dormant until then or run in the background like Google services.

Yeah my only gripe with Lightflow is even after you dismiss an alert it stills keep popping up from time to time.

Maybe because you have it set to dismiss on app open?... set it to screen on - dismiss. I made the same mistake when I first got it... its an awesome app! I Love setting up the colors lol

[Q] CM10: Can anyone suggest a way to get BLN working for GoSMS?

I cannot get it working for either Handcent or GoSMS.
I've tried using the native CM10 settings for third party apps.
I tried a fresh, clean flash with only Handcent installed.
Tried BLN
Tried LightFlow
The only way that I've *sorta* got it working is with the Tasker plugin for BLN Pro. The issue with that was that it only flashes once about every 15 seconds and doesn't turn off sometimes.

On handcent, disable the pop up notification and disable notifications on the stock sms. Should work with bln control. Paid version blinks.

Can you confirm that you've personally tried it with Handcent? Pretty sure that it doesn't work, hence the thread...

LED notifications not working

Is anyone else having a problem with LED notifactions not working. It turns blue when I power the phone on and it will turn red when I have the charger hooked up but email, phone calls, text messages, IMs, or anything else, it just wont work. I have all the boxes checked in the "LED indicator" section.

U need to use a program for that, just search for lightflow in Google play..

We all know that the led indicator options are there in system settings, but many people including me are facing problems with those options enabled & not working properly (xda full of that u can check ) so for more advanced and custom led options with less hassles go for lightflow

Any one tried the panacea - Reboot? Though I don't have the problem but would like to know if the cure works here too.

Just to let you know light flow has its down side. It will suitable your spen air view and also if you using continuous text option on key board. It will disable that too

air view needs to be shut off during install, but you can turn it right back on afterwards.

Swype function is still disable

Yes, air view is solved but can't do without swype function

The other annoying issue with light flow is talk back is enabled. Whenever you open folder or use s pen to view emails it will read the text, there is no fix for this at all.

Mine has this issue as well. Have you tried emailing the dev yet on this case ? I thought it was just me.

LED notification for all usual suspects were working for me for about 2 weeks. Then suddenly it stopped working today. I noticed it when I put the phone to charge and it didn't show me the RED light. However, I just restarted the phone and everything is back to normal now.
So try restart if it has 'stopped' working only recently.
If it never worked and you suspect LEDs are gone, then dial *#0*# , it will start an inbuilt test application in which you press 'LED' button and LED test will be executed.

note 2 i317
I have an att galaxy note 2 i317. I had led message notification and it stopped working. I checked online and got no help. I found out that the stock message program was conflicting with the att messaging program. I had to uncheck the box in the att program that said to disable other messaging programs notifications. Plus set up the stock one as the one to use by default. And that did it.... Hope it helps you out.

Vibration for notifications

I searched and could not find anything regarding changing the vibration pattern for an all stock note 2. Mine will only vibrate in a single long pattern, no matter what I set it to in the settings. I like to use the stock messaging because it's compatibility with the lock screen but I'd really like it to vibrate in a couple short pulses instead of that single long one. If I'm missing something I apologize but I have no idea what to change aside from the options in the settings menu. Any help or other information would be much appreciated, I'm sure it's something silly I'm missing anyway!

Go to settings- sounds-device vibration u can chabge it to a few different patterns

I am not sure! That is how the note 1 default notification vibrate was, the single long pulse. The sms mms one was a quick twin pulse, I'd prefer that! I like how the sms app works with the tw lock screen and launcher etc so I don't want to use another one if I can avoid it. I wish it would allow me to use a different vibration setting because my phone is silent a lot! I asked samsung and they gave me the ringtone answer. The service from the online chat is weak.

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.
