[Q] Notification light.....

Is there a way to get the notification light to blink all the colors it gives me as far a options b/c it only blinks red & no other colors? I have went through the stock text app, handcent, email to change the settings but they all blink as red.

I tested this yesterday and recommend Light Flow from the market.. there is a lite version that's free and you can test out the LED light. We only have Red, Blue, and a combination of both of them that looks like Magenta. You have to set it to Green in the app for Magenta..

I saw another post on this, but couldn't get it to blink at a regular rate. No matter how I changed the flash led setting, it would stay lit for a long time and eventually blink, only to resume again. Do you have settings that allow it to flash quicker?
Thanks.

I tried the light flow app which it worked to get the light to flash but none of the colors worked but some how it disabled my email notification light.

[Q] Notification LED: Purple light anyone?

Happy Holidays everyone!
I've read through some of the older threads on how to control out LED notification light using Lightflow and Blink and found that there are only 3 different settings:
Red: red LED, slow blink/constant on
Blue: blue LED, slow blink/constant on
White: red LED, fast blink (most useful in my opinion for notification)
Has anyone been able to get their LED to flash purple yet (besides during reboots)? This will require the red and blue LEDs to be on simultaneously but I've played all day in Blink and Lightflow and have not been able to do this. If you have, please let me know what program you're using and what settings you have.
Thanks everyone!

You have to use green for purple. Weird, but that's how it works

Sad - I wasn't able to get the purple LED by selecting green in Lightflow or Blink. Anyone else successful?f

Sounds like something that could be done using tasker, but I wouldn't know the codes.

[Q] Changing Led Notification Colors

Is there anyway to have different colors for specific notifications? Is there a app or is it just not possible to change the notification led colors?

try light flow in android market

I think you can only get red, blue, and purple (which is both red and blue LED's on at the same time). As far as blinking, only slow blink, or really fast red blinking.
Lightflow will give you options for other colors, but only those three light up. It's been a while since I tried lightflow, but I can't remember what color option corresponds to purple on it. If you select white as the color, you get a very fast blinking red instead.

I always liked NOLED. Its more for phones that don't have a led. Individual icons pop on screen for whatever message just came in and you can make it show your battery percentage on screen while charging.

Cool LED Light Charging Tidbit Stock JB

I discovered some interesting behavior by the LED notification light on our phone since the JB update. This isn't a bug since I can confirm it is repeatable and seems to have a purpose.
Okay so while your phone is on the charger you know how the LED light comes on if the screen is off? Hold the phone in your hand and make sure the screen is on. Turn the screen off with your power button and notice the brightly lit LED light (red or green, depending on your charge state). Now, turn the screen back on and set the phone down on a flat surface. Turn the screen off again now and notice the LED is much dimmer.
Another thing to try is to turn off the screen while the phone is in your hand to get the bright LED and then set it down. The LED will set itself to a dimmer state after some time goes by. Cool, huh? Seems to be designed that way to more efficiently sip the juice while charging.
Class dismissed!
EDIT: poit correctly determined the reason behind the intensity of the LED light is directly related to the ambient light in the phone's immediate environment. Kudos to poit!

Cool.

The LED brightness seems keyed to the ambient light sensor. It's it's in a dim environment (or you have the sensor blocked) when you turn off the screen, the LED will be dim. If it's in a bright environment when you turn off the screen the LED will be bright.

Mine didn't change at all stayed dim. Got me thinking though, could it be adjusting for how bright it is?
It sure does if I go to a bright room my indicator is bright. Dim room and a dim indicator. While charging if you set the phone down if and while bright it will go dim.

I believe you are correct. I thought it had something to do with gyroscope sensor(hence why it was dim on a flat surface). But I just tried it somewhere with more light and your assessment is correct. Bright environment equals bright LED. Dim environment equals dim LED. Still cool!
:good:
P.S. - this is best tested in a dim room with a lamp you can shut on or off. Lamp on = bright LED, etc. The LED will go back and forth while you play with the lighting.

Or you could just cover the light sensor like I just did and then remove your hand.

Face recognition ir light

Are you suppose to see an small blinking light when using face recognition(ir light)?
When i first got the phone i think i remembering seeing an blinking light but im not seeing it anymore.
Also its not working in complete darkness, but the light from the screen itself when turned manually brighter than auto is enough.
