I was just wondering if anyone here has had luck with lightflow in getting notifications to work.
Currently I can either enable the notification light, and all it does is blink green (despite no notifications), or turn it off. Testing with lightflow resulted in, what seems like, no changes. I know there might not be a large range of colours, but it would be nice to control the notification LED.
It didn't work with any app available, I can't not understand why...maybe the led is not capable of showing more than two or three colors?
The number of colours isn't really an issue. For example, the Nexus S blinked the Home, Menu and back buttons. As long as it can be controlled it would be nice, but it doesn't seem to be able to do it.
I've been aware that I see the notification light even if there are no notifications

First of all. I would like to know, if the LED light can change to different colors other than the Green, orange(?), and red?
If so, is there anyway that I can tweak the led light on the top of the rhodium to turn a certain color when we have a notification waiting? (New Email, Text message, ect.)
i guess the hardware device can't support ....
afaik the LED under that is a standard 3 pin Green/Red LED. The orange is created by combining the two. So no there aren't really any other colour options. Aside from maybe getting greener or redder shades of orange.
There was a great app written for the Kaiser called Kaiser notification that allowed you to change the color of the led for different notifications. I think this is what you are asking about is it not?
I'd love to know how to change the colors for particular notifications!
I'd love to know if there is anyway to DISABLE the green blinking that goes on and on indicating reception.
There was superb app for my old Titan from no2chem... anything similar for our TP2's?

Interesting, my Tilt 2 does NOT blink for reception, bluetooth, or GPS, unlike the original Tilt which blinked incessantly without KaiserNotification set up.
Maybe ROM differences?
I just bought a HTC Desire Z two days ago, and was wondering about the notification light, as there are TWO in the desire Z
my question is, should the top notification light goes on when I recieve a notification, or only the bottom one will light up?
and if it's only the bottom one, how can I make the top one light up too? and in different colors, like in my friends HTC G1, he has blue, green, and red
thx for your time!
On my stock ROM (see my signature), the trackpad light blinks if you turn on that notification, but it's only every 10 seconds or so, and I actually never noticed it originally and thought it wasn't working at all. It doesn't blink the power LED.
However, I use the "Led Me Know" app from the market, and you can configure that to blink either the top LED or the trackpad LED, depending on how you set it up.
You can't make the trackpad LED blink different colours unfortunately, this was looked into a while back. The top one is limited to amber or green.

ok, thx alot for the fast reply
I used LED Me Know. Works fine for the LED, but it often overrides (e.g.) my Gmail notification sound with the standard notification sound I have for messages. Or it just plays both notification sounds. I hate that, and there's no option to activate or deactivate it messing with the sounds.
Does this happen to you too?

Sorry I don't use Gmail notification and I haven't tried playing with the sounds. I suggest contacting the developer about it, he responded quickly to me when I contacted him before.

You can disable the g-mail notifications and let the app do it's own thing...
One weird thing I have noticed with the app is that it delays the notifications... Like first it disables the notification for any texts... and it pretty much waits out the time that it would have taken for the notification (vibrations) and then follows through with the notification you selected in the app settings. So pretty much I see the LED blinking for like 5 seconds before I get any audible or vibrating notification.
EDIT: I also realize that this is very poorly worded and hard to follow, But I can't think of any other way to say it so bear with me!! XD
Ive just noticed my notification LED isnt working, how do i make it work, i have got someone to text me with the screen off, still no led on silent, no led, on vibrate no led. what could be the issue
i had the same problem.
i knew the LED works because it lights up when i get an incoming call. but thats the only time it ever lights up. as soon as the call is missed it goes out, no pulsing light.
i downloaded an app called Light Flow (the free version) and works, as well as giving you much much control on the colour of the light and the different notifications it can be used on
Still cant get missed call led to flash even with light flow
any tips on setup ?
Pulse Notification Option in Settings, Display?? (Android settings that is ;-) )
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
yer its ticked, before and after installing light flow and still nothing
Is more settings for light flow im after, if people say it works for missed call ?
I haven't seen my LED light work once yet. I've had the phone since Thursday (VZW LTE) and don't even know what the LED looks like. I'm guessing its right next to the ear piece? As I said I'm still stock unrooted, but I do use Dialer One and Handcent. I'm guessing Handcent has a bug with ICS and/or the Galaxy Nexus? I go into notification settings, the LED option is checked, but when I select "Test Notification" Handcent FC/stops responding. Also when I get a new email (gmail), I don't get any kind of LED notification...Any suggestions?
It's at the bottom of the front of the phone. About 1/4" from the bottom of the phone. I've only seen it light up on new text messages though. I hear Light Flow works to customize the LED.
Go to settings > display. Is pulse notification light checked?
I also use light flow, and i was never a fan of notification lights before, but its got enough customization that i can make it act how i want it to....and things like that is why i switched to android from that other phone in the first place
When I first got mine, I thought it was broken too. I seems the default settings don't use the notification nearly as much as some other phones. I recommend getting light flow and setting up the notification light that way.
Yeah I think it was a combination of not realizing exactly where to look and it not being used as often as I would have thought. After installing Lightflow I see it now, thanks. It's actually really sick looking.
Light flow is awesome, I wish I had found this app a long time ago. I assume that you're supposed to disable notification inside the individual apps and just do it all through light flow?
Also, it doesn't seem to allow me to change colors? (I change the color setting but the light is always white-ish).
I've been running LED Blinker Pro for about a year now. It allowed me to set the LED to different colors for texts, missed calls, upcoming appointments, and a host of other things (Signal messages, Facebook messages, low battery etc...) and a user selectable blink rate compared to stock.
Recently, possibly after updating to Pie, things with the LED have changed. Now, when I am charging the phone, the LED goes solid red. When the battery is full, the LED goes solid green. The LED blinks a slow blue when Bluetooth in on. Basically it's doing things I don't want it to do, and it overpowers my own app, rendering it mostly unusable. I uninstalled LED Blinker Pro to see if there was an issue with that app, but the new LED issues remain
I looked throughout the phone's settings, but I cannot find where these "new" LED notification settings are. I'd like to turn them off, and have everything controlled by the app I paid for. I did find a toggle under Settings>Apps & notifications>Notifications>Blink LED, but that turns the LED "off" so that there's no blinking at all, with both the "new" LED features and the paid app. But, I do not want the LED totally off, I just want to be able to control it like I have been able to do over the past year.
Is this new LED blinking function a function of PIE? Has anyone figured out how to change settings for it? Can it be disabled so that I can use my own app to control the LED?
