Light flow - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anybody know if it works? Thanks!

Seems to be working for me.

It works but my ambient display would flash on every 10 seconds or so when Light Flow was activated, notification or not.

Did this happen even if ambient notifications were disabled in system settings? I plan to use only the LED.

Had the same problem with ambient display. Turn it off and the problem disappear.

Is my led working?

Hi all, I've just missed called my gn phone to check how the led notifications are working, I see no led notification at all, no led lights anywhere on the phone to let me know I have a missed call? Is there something I need to set up, thanks

Check your notification settings
There is also an option "pulse notification light" in Display settings.
i have the same problem.
i have ticked the option "pulse notification light" in Display settings but th eLED doesnt flash after receiving a miscall. i waited a few mins and still nothing.
i know the LED works because it flashes while the caller is calling, but just switches off after the caller hangs up.
is there another notification setting for this other than the one in Display Settings?
The notification LED has been implemented pretty badly natively. In addition to not appearing very consistently it also only flashes white. Look for the app Light Flow on the market and use that instead.

Thanks Chrono.
I just saw the Light Flow app recommended on the other LED notifications thread and tried it, and it works well!
But yes i agree its seems a pretty sloppy implementation by default, i hope it gets fixed in a software update, although i probably wont be moving away from light flow with all the extra control you get with it

LED continues to flash on sleep mode, Light Flow installed?

I have light flow, and when my screen shuts off, the LED light keeps blinking (white.) Any idea how to make this stop?

Well... my solution was to uninstall it.
Basically I found that while Light Flow was pretty neat, I was getting quite a few random notifications (i.e. LED flashing but no notifications in the bar) that would only stop after rebooting.
Eventually I got fed up with it and removed the app. Shame.

Hey, I would try clearing the apps data or a reinstall to see if that fixes it. I am using it the past two months and never had an issue. Good luck.
Check your lightflow notification settings and see which notification is set to flash white. If it's SMS or email, make sure that you don't just clear the notifications by just swiping it off the drop down menu but actually go into the apps and mark them as read. Otherwise lightflow will still detect them as unread and notify you.
If none of the notifications are set to flash white then you might have not set lightflow up properly. Go to your accessibility settings and make sure that lightflow is enabled. If that doesn't fix it uninstall and reinstall the app.

Never had any issues with Light Flow, but don't use sleep mode as an LED blinking when on charge isn't going to wake me up (AudioGuru mutes sound on sleep profile, mind)
Ultimately if you're having issues get in touch with the developer as only they can fix the issue
Disable the notifications for anything that is set to use the White color. It should solve the problem. You most likely have the notification set to only clear when you enter the application. I personally prefer to clear it when my screen turns on because if my screen has turned on, then I have already "checked" the notification and don't need that light continuously flashing.
Phantom notifications has long been an android problem. Its not light flow specific

Light flow vs 4.3

After disabling notifications for light flow, the status bar icon is gone, but the LED doesnt work normally now. Normally i set to LED shinning colour when plugged in but now after i disabled the notification, the LED doesnt light up anymore. Anybody else having similar problems?
Im guessing its due to the app not being updated for 4.3 yet.
App runs just fine here.

Make sure Accessibility is on in setting. I missed that myself.
That seemed to fix it.

Notification LED

Does the Notification LED light up when the phone is charging? Mine appears totally dead - no charging indicator, no notifications, no nuthin.
But then late last night I started getting notifications but still no charging indication.
Luckily I just got the shipping e-mail regarding my replacement phone.
My notification LED lights up when I get a notification, but not when the phone is charging.

Works for me
It works for me with Lightflow for all notifications, charging lights, etc.. You can set blinking rates and brightness levels.

LightFlow works for me too but it screws with the Ambient Display feature. I'd like to use both but with LightFlow it causes the Ambient Display to active for what seems like no reason at all.

Light flow works for me too but I notice when quiet hours are on in light flow, the LED still lights up. Seems that quiet hours in the light flow app turn off light flow but just cause Android system to control the LED again....

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.
