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!

Does anyone notice this? I just started noticing this a few days ago at first it would only engage during a call now its on all the time and it seems to correspond to a recent faster battery drain

What behavior does your phone exhibit?

It's caused by an app you have installed. I had an issue with this too. The app causing it for me was lux which is an auto screen brightness app.
Good luck finding it.

If your brightness is on auto it will always stay on too, the proximity and light sensor are in the same chip right next to the FFC

I thought that and i have since turned it off and rebooted still on

Do you have any of the flip to mute or proximity to speaker or pocket mode options enabled? I'm not familiar with the rom you're using so I'm not even sure those options are there but they can keep the prox/light sensor awake for them to work
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
none of those
Hi,
Just searched through another website while I'm facing this issue, do you have viber installed? If so, just launch your viber and exit the application and the proximity sensor will goes off. This works for me.
Please try.
Cheers

This is for correct. Viber is the culprit. Thanks for letting us know. My battery drained 60% overnight last night. I was shocked, coz usually iit's only about 15%.
However just killing the Viber app did not work for me. Doing that would switch off the proximity sensor momentarily, and as soon as the app is restarted, the sensor would come on as well. Hope Viber are already aware of this issue and fix it soon. In the meantime, I've switched off Viber thru its Setting menu. Seems to have done the trick.
Viber...
Hello!
Thank you for resolved issue! Same thing here.
Viber become pretty messy! Since two or three updates ago it will not sync to my phone book, neither I can see it as account among the other accounts in my phone. 3-4 months ago everything was fine. Viber is going downhill...
Thanks a lot! This drove me crazy!
viber
thx a lot it was driving me crazy too
This worked for me too. I think its a new version of Viber, in older versions there was no problem.
I checked all settings am I doing something wrong or has google taken this feature out?
First off, how many of these threads to we need? Seen at least 10 in the last few days.
Second of all, it still works for me. Google has not taken this feature out.
I don't even see it in my settings anymore it just disappeared.

Do you use Light flow? I have noticed toggling "Accessibility" off and on when Light flow glitches out for me, or using Swype seems to kill hotword detection. Rebooting always seems to bring it back though
Mine disappeared when I enabled the ICS Google search widget in Nova...
Hi all
I acquired my Gnexus about a month ago, and the nexus has lived up to its name, being the predecessor of my nexus s. However, a few weeks ago a very strange bug has began manifesting itself. Whenever my phone was not in silent mode, a ringtone would keep playing, over and over again, while there were no incoming notifications. In fact the offending ringtone in question isn't even set to anything in my system sounds! This is particularly strange because even when I used TiBU to freeze just about any sound-making app that could have been causing this (alarm apps, music apps etc) the strange sound continues.
Here is a video of what I am talking about. You may need to crank up volume a little bit to hear it, but it's definitely there, and recurring incessantly. I showed my notification bar and running apps, as I have no idea what could be causing it. I'm running stock JRO0C rooted, with unlocked bootloader. This did not happen before my bootloader was unlocked, and even after that I did not recall it happening for a long time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7r-Deeu6ME&feature=youtube_gdata_player
The strange thing is, even after a full wipe/factory reset via cwm and flashing over another rom (bigxie's stock, rooted JRO0C with busybox preinstalled), the problem persisted, on my brand new rom with no apps installed! I really have no idea what's going on, is this going on at system level? I did try formatting /system in cwm but that made it unable to boot past the google logo, strangely, so I had to revert to an old cwm backup.
If anyone could enlighten me on any solutions or reasons causing this, I'd be mightly grateful. The sound, and most of all not knowing the reason behind it and how I could possibly absolve it, has been driving me nuts, it really is such a strange and inexplicable problem, not knowing why is so confounding, even with all your knowledge and experience of android!

Stock kernel? I recall this being an issue with the CM7 build for the Fascinate, and was due to a kernel bug. Outside of that, I couldn't tell you where to begin.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Yep, stock just about everything, only rooted. I used the nexus toolkit to install though, and I'm not sure if that actually flashes an insecure boot.img or not, so might that be the problem?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I don't think the insecure about image would cause a phantom ringtone or others would have reported by now. Sounds like something is misfiring. I'd seek greater knowledge of how to identify the issue (given that you have root access) from one of the much more experienced folks on XDA.

What's that? Only game I have is mass effect infiltrator (thank you 25c sale) lol. I'm pretty sure it's a ringtone sound but I can't for the life of me identify it since I don't use it for any of my volume ringtones!
I might have to relock my bootloader again when I have the time to backup everything on internal memory, because this wasn't present when my bl was locked on purchase.

Haha,I stayed just shy of saying that in order not to tick off the more superstitious types here it's not the seventh month though! (Where I'm from, supposedly 7th month is "hungry ghosts month")
The sound is bloody annoying though.

Isn't that the battery low notification? Perhaps check your battery and any app and setting that could affect the sounds. Setcpu, system settings, pull battery. That is all I can think of.

Oh and try turning NFC off. And try another battery if possible. Battery chip could be borked and telling system low on battery.
...
It's your NFC chip alert (as if it's trying to communicate with another NFC device). Mine does the same thing if I put my phone on my wallet.
Yep sounds like NFC, coupled with the fact that you randomly have your phone sitting on a wallet?.... Either a jolly good trolling, or you have a solution. Post a video of your phone doing that without a wallet touching it and/or NFC turned off in settings.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Yeah, next time I'll listen to the embedded file in the OP. Definitely your NFC trying to read something with an NFC tag in your wallet. Happened to me when my military ID got too close while screen was unlocked.

thanks all, turns out that because I have my transit ID card at the back of my phone case it sets off the nfc like crazy, constantly. Didn't reply for a few days cos I couldn't find the thread, but thanks all for your advice, finally solved this headache

I installed the kernel that supports BLN then I installed lite Rom version 5. Now I downloaded the BLN from the market and it said my Rom supports it. Unfortunately when I get an email the button lights don't go on when the phone is sleep. Same with Facebook notifications but it did work with Google talk. Someone sent me a message and it lit up quite nicely and stayed on till I woke up the phone. Anyone else experiencing this? I looked in Facebook and made sure on the app that I have light notification enabled but that did not help. I could not see any options from the email. I use the built in email from android not the Google one, the white one with the blue @ sign is the one I use. Am I not enabling something? Please help I would love this to work properly.

I second this. BLN works, but not consistently. I can't quite put my finger on why the performance varies. It works during sleep, but not always. It works while it's awake, but the screen is off, but also not always.
The only thing I may have found is that BLN works less often when I have the app triggering the notification open/active. So, when I'm in a chat and I put down my phone after a message, the screen will go off after 15 seconds. The other party may have replied within 20 seconds, but it does not always trigger BLN.
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app
I wish it would just trigger on everything in the notification section. Unfortunately kind of useless if it is only sometimes getting triggered. What good is a notification light that does not work? Sorry, I know how hard some people have worked hard on this and I am not trying to upset anyone, just stating that it is not there yet to be reliable and fully functional.
I had the same issue previously on older versions of the lite kernel. I ended up flashing the kernel twice in a row and it seemed to fix the issue. I haven't seen issues since. Maybe upgrade to the most current lite kernel?

I couldn't get BLN Control to work with Handcent SMS so I downloaded Light Flow Lite, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflowlite.
So far it has worked great and I haven't seen any of these intermittent issues. Maybe it will help one of you guys.
