Notification LED - Sprint LG Optimus G

Is there a way to change the notification led when i get a message or missed call? Ive tied light flow and other apps buy nothing works. Btw my OG is reported

SPRINT has a habbit of having their phones built with 2 color LED's red/green. The Nexus has multis but I believe we got left out of the fun with our OG's. Maybe somebody else knows other wise but I have been unsuccesful and am sure this is the case
My HTC Hero had a single (white) color roller ball but other heros built for other companies had the multi color rollers for instance.

I mentioned this same problem earlier. No fix that I can find, though I'd definitely throw some $ towards someone finding a way to make the notification led flash faster, even if it requires root

I got the LED to blink alot.
Rooted with esFileExplorer
Open /system/etc/system.xml
Change notification_light_pulse from 0 to 1.
Save.
Enjoy

I tried that before, didn't seem to work with texts/email notifications. Still around 30 seconds.

Yes it speeds up charging notifications. The rest are still slow

Yea, it would be nice to find a way to speed up the blink frequency without rooting or anything.

[Q] LED Notifications

Since there isn't an LED light specifically for notifications, is there a way to make the LEDs for menu, home, back, and search light up for said notifications? It would be even better if each one lit up for specific apps so I could know why it's lighting up before I even turn on the screen.
Thanks for any help!
My suggestion would be NoLED.

Yeah, that's what I'm doing, but was hoping one could take advantage of the buttons' LEDs.

The closest we can get to LED notifications is BLN. You need to use a BLN compatible kernel and use the app BLN Control.

Perfect, thanks!
I'm trying to tweak some things on system tuner and my phone rebooted (but took a bit to turn on) my blood pressure dropped, I thought I killed my phone!
But after some reading.. it pretty much means the phone does not like those settings, change them.. right? Phone works fine now though, but I was wondering for future reference

Yeah, basically. If you are undervolting, you need to take tiny increments to make sure the phone is stable before going any further.

led problem

its mainly with sms apps like handcent and go sms. although handcent tried to fix it they made it much worse and the frequency of which the led blinks is very slow. my question now is does anyone know of a good led control program or anyway to fix the led to make it blink regularly
Light flow from the play store. Has a lot of options. Hope this helps.

tried it already sorry forgot to mention i tried all the led programs in market and none worked. they showed a diffrent color from which i set and it wouldnt blink with light flow it would stay solid until i deactivated it
Has anyone played with the hex #'s to figure out at least the basic colors? I've been able tlbmske red, white, and some pinkish color on go SMS using the hex sliders but since the colors don't match anything its like a guessing/trial and error game.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
llol then you see what i mean. neither handcent nor go sms does the led correctly. handncent doesnt even let you choose a color anymore just to try and fix it with s3. ive tried all combonations of the sliders and market apps none of them work correctly with s3
I've done my research and it seems the led drivers and such on the two gs3 are screwed up. This is something Samsung has to fix with the next update. For now we are left with the random colors lol. It's annoying I know.
On go SMS I was able to create purple, green, red, yellow, and white. A long with some pinkish color. Other than that this Sucks haha.

Yes, there is a bug with the US GS3s. I wasn't able to get any third party to blink but you can use this list for now to get the color you want.
Light flow developers are working on a solution for their app but will require root access looks like it is in beta now.
good to know light flow is trying to fix and im rooted so no problem there.

Is it possible to change notification led colour?

Is it possible to have diff colour for diff notifications?

you can't change it yourself.
red is assigned to power(charging/low power)
green for actual notifcations
blue for sound recording.

Actually you can (somewhat)...Well I did with the Handsent SMS app. Its possible to change the colors for the notifcation within that app so I'm guessing that the notifications colors only work if the app has it within the settings.

I'm getting something different on my Note 2.
Red is the same, for power.
Blue is for notifications (sms and such)
Haven't seen a green notification light yet.

That means with the right software it can be changed. Maybe some developer will be able to come up with something

Light flow works just fine for me. I've changed all the led colors.
Be aware that the install process will make you turn off air view. Just turn it back on after installing.

Wow, thanks to this thread, I finally came to know that Note 2 does have a notification LED just like galaxy s3 as someone told me it doesn't have. Lightflow is good but drains a lot of battery. Try this as well https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5rb28ubGlnaHRtYW5hZ2VyIl0.
How do you turn air view back on?

Yeah I was severely disappointed that my OG Note doesn't have a NL. Pretty ridiculous. I searched for a video on release day showing it had a NL on the GN2

Is this how the LED notification works when charging?

Just got my i747m s3 and I was wondering if the LED notification is working properly when charging.
LED notification when charging:
flashes red intermittently when charging
flashes green intermittently when fully charged
Is this normal?
I thought it would be solid colours during charging/charged, instead of flashing intermittently.
- stock rooted telus rom
I'm pretty sure it is not supposed to flash

He doesn't need to do that, his SIII works fine. Light Flow is an app that allows you to control the LED light. Even when disabled it sometimes does stuff in the background.
I disabled the charging LED in the options, myself. In my dark room it was enough light to keep me awake, so it had to go.

Never had this issue with my stock s3. Using an app to solve this can be okay but, usually, when I pay good money for a device, I want it top notch!

Is LightFlow safe?

Not sure if this is the right place to post it, so sorry if it's not.
Is LightFlow safe? I've read the permissions and they make me.... uncomfortable. How safe is it? Can it access credit card info etc?
Yes its safe.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Yes and it's an awesome app!
Edit:
I felt I should add more here. All the permissions are so that lightflow knows when to turn on the lights you assign to the apps. That's all. The Dev is stand up and extent helpful. No need to worry.

Awesome app! Cool to have colors light notification though rather than plain white light
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Been running it since getting my GNex almost a year ago and haven't had an issue. The Dev is on here and is super communicative. Its a must have for anyone with a phone that has a multicolor LED.
I love being able to come up to my phone and immediately knowing it's status without even picking up. My screen time of battery use has probably dropped 20% because of this app.
