lightflow doesn't work if you have stamina mode on. Turn it off and it will work.

Notification LED light does not work AT ALL, EVER!

My Verizon Galaxy Nexus does not seem to even include a notification light. Although I see and read about a notification bottom middle of the front of the phone. Mine simply does not work at all and never has. Anyone know of this issue and may offer advice? I have downloaded light flow lite and have had no success, also downloaded LED tester apps and it still doesn't work. Please help.
Have you turned on the notification light in settings? Settings > Display > Pulse Notification Light
Yes.
Play Store > Light Flow > Your welcome
I have already installed light flow. Still not notification LED ever. I have had test SMS sent over and over with no response from the LED. Pulse notification light set, light flow set ON in accessability. All software is set to turn the LED on, the light itself is just not lighting up..
PLEASE HELP
Is it possible Verizon my only option here?
As a test, download an app called "Galaxy Nexus Led" from the market
Enable it and then plug ur charger and turn ur screen off
I think the Nexus's led only works when the screen is off

Take it to VZW and request a new device for the LED not working. You're not the first person I've seen with the issue, and you probably won't be the last to have the problem either.
I've had the same LED-Error... but i solved it.
At first... I'm shure that your LED is not broken. Cause... it is a LED
Before you read the rest of my message, check if you REALY activate your LED in the PhoneSettings and in any app you've allowed to controll the LED. If you're using LightFlow don't forget to activate it in the "Device-Admin-Settings" of your Phone.
Now try a test...
If your LED is not working ... format your cache and dalvicCache partition ... afterwards, it MUST work.

Whatsapp and LED light

Hi
Does anybody know how to get the LED notification light to work through whatsapp? (I mean without using a 3rd party applicaiton). There is an option in whatsapp to have the LED blink, but I cant manage to get it to work. Any ideas?

What color did you select? Mine is set to green and works fine.
I selected green as well. Also tried a few other colours but still no luck.
Do do you have popup notifications enabled in whatsapp by any chance?

No. Disabled.
Is Whatsapp the only app that's having trouble controlling the LED of your gnex?
Activate and setup in app settings>notifications

@OP Are you sure the 'Pulse Notification' setting is checked to work?
(Settings > Display > Pulse Notification)
Can't think of anything else, my whatsapp led blinks green on notification just fine.
Yeah, pulse notification in the phones settings menu is enabled. I'm using light flow now to control my led which works fine. For some reason I just could not get whatsapp to blink the LED itself. So I went the 3rd party route.
Thanks for the help
hello, i'm using lightfow on AOKP black bean and generally it's work good
i noticed 've the same problem, no led notification from whatsapp...
i am using light flow lite for notifications (no whatsapp support), maybe it is causing this problem?

Whatsapp is supported in the full (paid for) version of light flow.

you can try reinstalling whatsapp or emailing them to report an issue
EDIT: Not sure if this matters but I have the Whatsapp version from the market (version 2.8.4771) but on their own website the version number available for android is Version 2.8.4923
http://www.whatsapp.com/android/
Not sure what's that all about but you could try both and see if one works.

Ah sorry, I misunderstood you. Yes thats something that I also thought of - whatsapp not having access to the LED because Lightflow has 'taken control' of the LED. However to test this theory, I uninstalled Light Flow, but still could not manage to get whatsapp to blink the LED by itself.

Why don't you use the LED Notification build in AOPK? Settings -> Rom Control -> LED Control

My Whatsapp doesn't blink the led either. It did a while ago I know for sure. It has just stopped functioning and I can't get it to work again. Not that important to me though.
Notification LED
Is it possible to use Light Flow Lite and have stock LED notifications work too?
ie. so whatsapp notification LED works too because both Light Flow and default LED settings are on

LED Control (Charging, Notifications) with Light Flow and Xposed Modules [Root]

Hi there,
after quite a lot of time of trying and testing I want to share my experience with you.
I use a Z1 Compact with rooted stock firmware 14.2.A.1.114 (Android 4.3) and I wanted to control the notification LED in the way that CyanogenMod allows it:
Disable charging notification
Enable custom colors for different Apps
Switch off the LED completely at night
My solution is the combination of two Xposed Modules with the App Light Flow.
First, install the Xposed Framework. To get it to work on your Xperia smartphone, you can use the Xperia version which works very well.
To switch off charging notifications, download and activate the module Disable Charging Led.
Notification colours can be modified by the module Xposed LED Control.
Xposed LED Control unfortunately does not allow silent hours and is limited to five modified notifications in the free version.
This is where the App Light Flow comes in. It comes with many personalization options like silent hours. I needed to install Xposed LED Control because without it, I was not able to control the LED with Light Flow.
Switch on the root mode in Light Flow (general settings) and configure the notifications and sleep settings as desired.
If you are unsure if all the instructions described above will work on your phone, you can try the free version Light Flow Lite.
Light Flow did not work for me without Xposed LED Control. I think this is not so obvious and so I hope this will help anyone with the same problem, maybe even with other Xperia phones.
Regards

Perhaps you mean "charging" instead of "loading" ...
I did the same thing. Downloaded Xposed LED control and Light Flow, but I have the following issue. When I receive a text message for example, the LED flashes in the stock colour (a sort of pink). Then I turn on the display without unlocking and the LED changes into the colour I customized. When I turn it off it stays that colour. This kind of defies the process of changing the colour, as I need to turn in the screen anyway.
Any ideas of what I might be doing wrong?

Have you switched off the notification light in the text message app? Or maybe you want to configure the color in Xposed LED Control? I was unfortunately not able to reproduce this issue.

Yes, I can confirm that too. I switched on Stamina mode a few days ago for testing purpose and I got problems with Light Flow, too. So, if you really need to use Stamina, you are limited to the functionality of Xposed LED Control.
Same problems on my Z1c.
Stamina is on and then the custom-color flashes once and then the default violett light.
Lightflow, light manager or xposed led control, all the same problem

I think we'll have to wait until Sony fixes LED notifications in Stamina mode. Other models have this problem as well. I switched off Stamina completely as Greenify is sufficient for me to freeze battery draining apps in standby.
For me LightFlow work without the help of the module only need to disable your Stamina completely impossible job because I am quite removed Stamina.
it is work good :fingers-crossed:
is there any app to change blinking time when stamina is on ? i don;t want to chagne color only what i need is faster led blinking ...

I currently use GravityBox [KK] to disable the charging LED.
For those who don't use Stamina because the LED does not work: There is the Xposed Module Xperia Stamina LED that works like a charm.

[Q] LED frequency

Has anyone figured out how to change the LED frequency without downloading apps like LED flow? I am looking for something like a build.prop mod.
Thanks

Also looking for it. Looks like it flashes every 20 seconds. You have to watch your phone to see that it had received a message or something.

Edit: Oops, I can't read lol :-0 I'll leave the info in the event it helps someone.
Literally just got done setting up Light Flow - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflowlite&hl=en
You have to enable it under Settings>Security>Notification Access. Then disable it under Settings>Accessibility>Services. Enable LED in Settings>Display>Notification light, and click on Notification light and uncheck all EXCEPT downloads apps.
Kind of a pain but worth it because you can set custom vibrate patterns, LED flash frequency and color

I've just attempted this and no go.
1. Went to Settings>Security>Notification Access and enabled Lite Flow Lite.
2. Went to Settings>Accessibility>Services and ensured Lite Flow Lite is OFF
3. Went to Settings>Display>Notification LED and turned off all the apps (incoming call, missed calls, etc..) Does the Parent "Notification LED" have to be ON or OFF?
4. In Lite Flow, changed Gmail to Blue
5. Ran the test feature: No LED appeared.
6. Turned off screen and sent an email to my phone. NO LED appeared.
Anything I missed?

Parent Notification LED has to be switched on. Try leaving downloaded apps checked under display>notification light and run the test in Light Flow again.

Hey, thank you for the instructions as I looked everywhere for how to get LightFlow to work on my G3. I really appreciate this.

notification led not working any more

guys, i didnt get the exact moment when it stopped working and can only speculate about what caused it, but my notification led isnt working any more. nothing triggers it. not whatsapp, not gmail...
is there any way to test it or tune it without relying on third party apps?
im on stock taimen with flash kernel, systemless xposed and gravity box.
thanks!
I dont think it ever has??? Isn't that why we have always on display and dont need notification light?
It definitely works. I use the app Light Flow - LED Control to customize my LED. Maybe try that app with charging light and see if it turns on when charging. Make sure you have blink light turned on in apps and notifications --> notifications --> Blink light.
