Light Flow and Go SMS

Anyone get Light Flow and Go SMS working together? I can't get the notification LED to work whether it's using GO SMS's built in "blinking LED" function or using Light Flow.
When attempting to use light flow, I turn off the "blinking LED" option in Go SMS. I've also tried using the alternate monitoring options.
Still not working.
EDIT: Well, I ended up uninstalling Light Flow. Notification light works again. I just can't customize the LED color. Guess I'll have to wait until Light Flow gets updated to work with the S III.
Also, even though Go SMS "blink LED" works, the color settings are messed up. The color you pick doesn't correlate to what shows up. Must be an app issue as well. But hey, at least it works.

Did you go into accessibility and enable light flow there?

Does the LED actually blink for you albeit with effed up colours? Cause it doesn't blink for me, just stays one solid messed up colour.

It stays solid just like you said.

Solid LED: text notification
Blinking LED: General notifications, ie gmail
for social networks, facebook, ect, idk, since I don't use them

Then it goes the exact opposite of mine. Mine blinks for text notifications, and stays solid for others.

Hes working on the app to address issues with lightflow an the gs3

Both my and my dad's sgh-i747 displays the wrong led colour.
Blue comes out as red, green as magenta, etc.
I'm starting to think its a problem with all north American versions of the.phone? My friends with the i9300 don't have this problem!

Yeah the hex codes are all messed up in the NA version, so regardless of what program you are setting the colors with they're almost opposite. Yellow = White from my experience if anyone wants white haha

I'm so glad this got brought up, but it's a shame nobody's found a fix yet. It's such a subtle, yet mindblowingly irritating thing. Mine is sold red, no matter what I change in both the system LED settings, or the GoSMS settings. I haven't bothered with LightFlo, since everyone reported the mis-representation of color changes in the settings.

If your on a twiz rom the colors are gonna be all messed up. For example if you use light flow to change the color of the led you'll notice that the color you set it to be is not the color it is. This is an os problem. If you flash a stock android based rom like cm9 cm10 or aokp they will be fixed.

Now this is some handy info. Does this apply to someone having CM9 or 10 AND GoSMS as well?

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?
Using stock 4.1.1 GSM GNex

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

i did too...also reinstalled whatsapps without any luck

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

Notification LED while charging?

Does anyone know how I can get the notification LED to flash when I have a notification while it is charging? The LED emits a green light continuously while charging which is unfortunate. I tried playing around with LiteFlow to see if I could get it to flash while charging but had no luck.
Anyone have any luck with LiteFlow or other apps?

you might try a flashlight app like this one... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jug6ernaut.utl.flnotifier&hl=en
this might work as well... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.led.notify&hl=en

I used a combination of tasker and noLED so noLED will only activate while charging. This is a decent solution for now.
I am just curious if there is a way to do this without NoLED. If I could somehow disable the charging LED in tasker or somehow get the notification LED to pulse when charging to indicate a notification.
Thanks for your help though!

ViperOne ROM has a tweak to enable Notification LED to flash while charging, plus a tweak to make the Flashlight on the back flash as often and as fast as you want, instead (some who work in noisy environments really love that!).

I found a thread last night that explained how to do this with tasker. It works perfectly. I'll see if I can find it.

How to disable your charging/notification lights using Tasker
Download the two attached files and place them in "/tasker/tasks/"
Open Tasker, click on the Tasks tab and then click the tab again to import. Select the two scripts and import.
Now you can create a profile that happens during a certain time, say 11pm-8am. Use 'Disable Lights' as your task and 'Enable Lights' as your exit task.
If you want to also disable your Button Backlights, create a Run Shell task under Tasker and enter this command
Code:
chmod 0333 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness; echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness
Until Someone figures out the code to reenable the backlights, you can reboot the phone to revert them back to normal.

Cm10 has this. Green led when charging and then green with flashing orange when there's a notification.

LED notification light (Solved)

Hi guys,
So this has been driving me nuts.
The notification blink light is turned on in Settings > Apps & Notifications > Notifications. However, I've never seen the LED actually turn on during normal usage. Not during charging, nor when charged, nor when I have any kind of notification active (emails, texts etc etc).
I suspected the actual LED component might be broken, so I downloaded Light Flow and ran some tests. Yes, the LED works and will display in any colour during Light Flow tests. However when I go back to just using the phone normally, nothing. The LED never turns on. I'm on 8.1. Completely stock. No root.
Any clue why this is happening? I'd appreciate any help or ideas whatsoever.
Thanks!
Ben.

My LED works too at least when I test it. However it does not work when enabled. Seems like google disabled it on purpose because of the on screen notifications.

OK, so after doing this, the notification light will blink when i receive an incoming email, text, or call?
