wanted: LED control

I love the DEFY really, but couldn´t find a customizer yet for the built in LED.
I want to config behaviour for e.g. sms or emails . Any ideas?

Hello
You should have a look at Missed Call, available on the market.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App

I use missed call, sms notifier, email notifier.
The great thing with email notifier is you can select a different color depending of the e-mail account.

I tried Missed calls for Android 2.x on my Defy today but it didn't work. The LED was still blue when receiving a call and didn't flash when missed either.
Anyone having an idea?
I tried to disable led notification in the phone's settings but it still didn't work

App Blink -> Android Market

Same thing for me. Tested all the apps. The led is not working.
Even with Led tester which says that is compatible with defy, doesn't work. What to do?

I had a problem with the LED. When I activated it with the apps, nothing happen. I had to go in the phone settings to activate the LED.

Thanks for the hint molexxx. Do you own a Defy? Because I tried that app and it is not forking either. Not with LED turned on or off in general phone settings.
The only time I see this LED ever working is when receiving a phone call it is blue no matter what app I tell to light it in a different color

Have you tried "LED me know"?

Yes I have a defy. It works perfectly.

TESLA app is working for me.

I've used "Flashlight" (use camera LED) & "Shake-Flashlight" (use screen LED) from my Defy and both works fine

MotoTorch for LED, and QuickSettings has a Display Flashlight included.

I didn't have any luck with any of these programs either. Missed Call only worked for missed calls, lol. No other programs would change the color of the front LED.

LED Notification - change timeout?

Right now it looks like the LED Notification on the One X is set at something like 5 minutes (it stops blinking after that). I presume this is a simple setting (maybe in build.prop - I'm no dev). Is there any app or hack that can make this longer? I don't always look at my phone every 5 mins or less and I like not turning on the screen to know if I have a notification.

there is a app in market - i think it called "blink". With this you can manualy setup all led-colour, blink-time and much more others.

Will that blink app works with extending htc one x notification led duration?

You can also do it with Tasker.

I didn't find the blinker.
Tasker is not working for me...
I don't believe that can't configure the led timeout...

Yes I would also like to try it. If you search "Blink" on google play online it's the first result. However that app only lets you configure the green led and I don't think the frequency change works. Also you can't change the orange led and it cannot find it.
Still searching...

Other ones to try are, "Lite Flow" and "LED me know".

I'm not sure if these work with One X. I used Led me know for my Desire HD.

unfortunatelly the led blink only five minutes in all applications...

I used to have LED me know app on my Desire Z, but it didn't work so good after the Android 2.3.3 update.
I'll follow this thread, I need that blinking light to stop only when I turn on the screen, otherwise it's pretty useless if you don't see the phone in the first 5 mins.

i absolutely agree with you. This is useless feature in this form.
I've found the application (with source code) which name of missed reminder.
https://launchpad.net/missed-reminder/+download
if you disable the factory led notications and you can enable this (except the gmail notification because is not working whith new gmail api...) it will works sms, mms and missed call notification without time limit.
i've tried repair the code that we can use gmail reminder but the new gmail api don't work with HTC sense 4.0 (but with CM9 works)
i'll try more... maybe

Thank You!!!!
Thank you man, i followed your advice on my HTC One X and now thanks to you the 5 minutes

Light flow not working properly?

I was dissapointed that not every app can let you choose the color for the notification led, specially Google apps, they all should have the option, I downloaded light flow, but I fins its behaviour erratic, I disabled the led for when its charging for example but sometimes it still flashes it, actually it doesn't flash the led, it stays turned on forever if I don't open the lift flow app, sometimes it stays in forever on too when I have a new message, I even delete the notification and check the message but the led won't turn off does anyone else has issues with it?
Can you recommend a better app?

Works fine for me. A notification will get "stuck" maybe once every few weeks. Other then that it works fine.

LightFlow works absolutley fine for me.
I had something that i mistook for "Phantom-Notifications". The LED was flashing without any notification in my notification-bar.
But i realised, that i have my gmail-app set to only remind me for mails in my priority inbox while lightflow was also notifying me for the normal inbox.
Maybe it is something similar on your phone.

To get my lightflow to work properly i had to go into the general settings and under main led control select 'control - lightflow controls the led' and this seemed to cure a lot of random/erratic flashes.

Where? Under general settings there's no led setting, all I was able to do was tick or untick pulse notification light under "display "

Yes under general settings, if you scroll to the bottom there is an option called 'main led control' and when i tap that it gives me 2 options, first is 'no control - default device behaviour' and the second (which i use to fix issues) is 'control - light flow controls the led'. I hope that helps you find it I do have the paid version however so if you are using the lite version i dont know if the option is there.

Sometimes I'll get no LED notifications until I manually open Light Flow, then it starts working. Kind of annoying. Is there any way to always keep it in memory?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

I had issues to. But there is a setting to clear the notification when you pull down the notification bar. This works best for me. You have to do this for each app though.
Also while charging I put it so that the newest notification would turn on. That way there is no cycling etc.
U have the paid version if you have any other questions let me know.

Found it but it was in the light flow settings, I thought you were referring to the nexus main menu, I already had "lightflow controls the led " enabled

General Settings of Lightflow itself. I think you are looking at the Settings of the phone

Again in light flow settings there is a tick box to run in foreground, that might help and if you use any kind of task killer make sure you add it to the exclude list
As for OP im not sure what else you can do to make it more reliable, the lightflow control worked great for me. Sorry i cant help any further

I always have that box ticked, but usually have to start the app after rebooting anyway. I didn't know people still used task killers lol.

You're exactly like me, I have the run in background option ticked, what I ended up doing is starting the app every time I turn on the phone (I turn it off every night ) this makes the app behave better, its like it doesn't start correctly by itself

Light flow has caused many problems, it has this glitch upon boot where it makes my screen flash green static for an instant.

I just read that the app doesn't work correctly on 4.0.4 maybe the guys who get no problems here are running 4.0.3

[Q] Notification Light using CM 10.1

Currently when I receive any type of notifications; whats app notifications, sms, facebook notifications... My mobile doesn't flash the screen to notify me about the notification nor have a button blink to notify me of the notification. Is there a way to flash screen the screen upon notification or blink a button like the menu button please?

try Dynamic Notifications this will use your amoled Screen

or NoLED App.

Maybe i'm OT, but usually i use this.

Hey is there an app for, led indicators for the s4 mini?

If you are referring to a hardware LED, the device doesn't have one and therefore no apps can utilise one.

Thanks..

I think it's a big joke that 400€ device doesn't have led light since my last phone blade 3 had it and it costs 97€.

edge lighting

I just need a quick clarification whether a certain behaviour is indeed as expected or not.
For starters whether screen is on or off when I get a message from Viber or the standard messaging app etc I will get the edge lighting glow and preview thing up top...
I've installed the app to be able to activate it for all my apps. However for example with FB messenger or a game that I have, the typical edge lighting behaviour only appears when the screen is off. If the screen is on I just get the standard notification sound and the notification is just found in the drop down notification bar. No edge lighting or anything. Is this normal? Is there a way to make them also exhibit this behaviour when screen is on as well?

It's already set there on always. Like I said with viber and the standard messaging app it is ALWAYS working normally, whether the screen is on or off... but with CERTAIN apps through the 3rd party app it only works when the screen is off.

can you check if you have smart popup

It's disabled

I don't know if will work in your situation but I too have struggled with getting edgelighting to work... The problem was solved when I went to developer settings and set the animations up to 0,5 instead of off, which I had chosen to get a faster phone...
