Have you tried to flash an official firmware from Odin? Sounds like a CSC bug.

[Q] LED customization app/Mod

I am wanting an app, that can customise teh colour of the LED for different notifications as well as turn them off when im asleep. I have seen an app called lightflow, is this the best app for the job?
I use lightflow and for me its perfect!
Nice

LightFlow is the best app ever!
You can set led color, frequency, speed, vibration and many more for every apps, for all notifications you need.
Buy PRO version because FREE version don't allow you to use LightFlow for every app, but it works only with a little number of apps...
Does anyone get the issue when using lightflow where the phone speaks to you??. Even if you disable all notifications on the accessibility screen, you still get the voice speaking.
Theres a big thread over on the lightflow devs website...seems like its a bug with ICS.
SAdly i bought it but have uninstalled it as it wont work unless you turn your sound off and personally i dont like my phone talking to me lol.

Yes!!! It took me forever to figure out why it would say Folder is open or Folder is closed, anytime I would open a folder on the home screen.

its a well know bug, coder is working to fix it
Unfortunately I was having problems with lightflow; sometimes the LED notification was not stopping regardless of what I did, until a reboot. The talk back thing I got rid of by not having accessibility checked within the phone settings. Sometimes the LED want activating either.
Most promising looking app though.

I also bought the pro. But I get the same issues with the led not stopping blinking. If I swipe a notification to get rid of it and don't actually view it the led just keeps on flashing. I think you press the clear button it works, but as a whole there needs to be some improvements in this app before I use it, all I really wanted was to turn off the led at night! It wakes me up. Too bright ha

On my Galaxy Nexus and on my actual S3, LightFlow works great...
No bug for me...
Great App :cyclops:

Yeah, pressing clear, or entering the app and viewing the message doesn't clear the led for me. The only thing that works is rebooting. But I'm going back to handcent for my messaging and since the pro version supports it I've purchased it too. I just love having the led's for at work, where I sometimes can't hear my phone, but they have to be off at night. I can't believe that a little flashing light can be so annoying at night!

At night you can enable the "sleep setting" under settings, than it wont blink.
Go to Notifications/*AppName*/Clear notification style and select "Screen on", than it will stop blinking after you turned on the screen.
Sorry for my bad english, hope you understand me
Sigh, for some reason this app doesn't work on my SGH-I747. I mean it does work but it doesn't show up the right colors that I've set up. For example: I choose the missed calls' color as red, but it shows up as blue and the rest are messed up too. Does anyone have the same problem?
The talking phone is very annoying, and i also experience the big orange square when you click on browser that mess my surfing xperience. I hope im not the only one

I have the same problem.
I initially tried to use SBEAM to send some files between my Note II, and my friends S4.
Then, I tried to turn it OFF, and same error occurs.
I also turn it off in the settings without a problem, but it automatically turns back on.
Which I really don't know why.
Hopefully this gets a fix.

Known issue. (Not sure if Samsung knows this, the issue keeps recurring even in recent updates)
I'm not sure if there is a fix, but a workaround which works for me,
1) Turn off the NFC manually
2) Replace the NFC icon from notification panel with some other unused icon (say blocking mode)
3) Restart Phone
4) Add NFC notification panel icon back and now it should be okay and working for sometime.
5) I don't know what causes it. But repeat step 1-4 when System UI hangs and throws error.

cheers another method i found was
turn nfc on and off manually about 5 times from the wifi menu in settings
then the icon works

Recurring running notification in notification panel

Has anyone else had a problem with running app notifications in the notification panel.I have them unmarked in the application manger to not show notifications and everytime you reboot the phone they come back in the notification panel and you have to go back in application manger and shut them off again every reboot,very annoying. Does anyone know how to fix it so the option sticks to stay out of thw notification panel.

I don't know man. I used to get the same thing with Ad Blocker Plus on my GNex. Every time I rebooted, the notification would come back, and when I clicked app info, the "show notifications" would be turned off. My advice would be to just not turn your phone off. lol!

[Q] How to diable smart screen notification

Hi,
I use LG smart screen on my phone, I find it very usefull as I tend to browse and read on my phone and it keeps the screen on while I'm reading.
Sometimes, I'm not sure if it is every time it acts or only when it doesn't detect my face correctly, it shows a notification (an eye inside a rectangle) on the notification bar and it is distracting.
Also since the Lollipop update it also shows on the lockscreen and that is annoying.
I would like to diable that notification in particular (but keep on using the feature). I tried disabling the notifications from the app's properties but it is not posible, it's greyed out. I also tried to convert the app to an user app with titanium backup but It didn't work, still greyed out. I couldn't find useful information here or on the Internet.
I'm rooted and have xposed for Lollipop installed.
Do you know a way to diable it?
Thanks,
Miki

I believe the eye means it is looking for your face because its about to shut the screen off. If you see that eye hold the phone so it can see you better and screen won't shut off. This seems to work for me.
Yes, that's what it means, the problem is I use glasses and that seems to confuse the app, and even though it works it shows the notification and that distracts me when I'm focused reading. It also shows on the lockscreen and it doesn't look right.

Edge lighting - notifications

Since our AOD notifications light comes only once and it's barely visible, I've decided to find some replacement for it...
I tried a few AOD apps from Play Store but the phone never goes in deep sleep with them,except for this one :good:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newgen.edgelighting
It illuminates the edges of the screen when a notification appears, it's colorful, goes around the sreen,very visible...you can change its duration,thickness...there's a few more settings there but only in the premium version...
I think you'll like it,check it out
Here's a gif example...
I tried it but couldn't make it work, it doesn't light up the screen, what settings do i have to enable/disable to make it work? I have given all the required permissions.
---------------------------------
Nevermind, I managed to make it work. Thanks

After you give all permissions through the app, go to settings/apps/permissions/other permissions,find True Edge and give the permissions again for Modify system settings and Show on lock screen...

thank you I just seek an application like this :good:
Turn on MIUI optimisation /Settings -> Additional settings -> Developer options - deep down below/ should be turned ON, active.
Otherwise True Edge doesn`t work - no matter of permissions given.
At least on Chinese stable rom - in the signature below.

It isn't enough when app ask for them, you must go to Settings/Apps/Permissions/Other permissions,find True Edge and check Modify Sytem settings and Show on lock screen...
And lock it on the recent apps and allow Autostart.
Also check Force Service in True Edge settings...

Hi,
I installed this, because the little led on front camera is just a joke.
The app works fine for all notifications that do not turn screen on, so it works well for email or message-app.
But if a notification turns the screen on, this app does not work, so I get no lighting from whatsapp or missed calls that both turn on the screen for a moment.
Does someone have any idea how to solve this. I tried to disable screen on in whatsapp but had no success. It still goes on every time a get a message there. I disabled popup-message in app-setting with no effect.
I am on xiaomi.eu rom miui 11.04.

Unfortunately there is no option for this in WA. It has just an option for LED but this has no effect on display.
May there be a possibility to revoke some authorisation for this in Miui? I did not find one.
So do you get edge notification for missed calls or do you have the same problem than me there?

I installed Miui 11.1 from xiaomi.eu today. With this version Always-On-Display got some improvements.
In fact I think I do not need any other notification app now.
In AOD I set a custom layout and used a black photo as background and set the switch to show notifications. So I get only an little line with time and date. Besides I set "light display when new notification arrives".
Now, when a message arrives the display switches on. I can see incoming message on lockscreen without touching the phone. Then the display switches off and AOD shows an icon from messaging app (see attached picture). This stays there until I unlock the phone.
This is perfect for me, I do not need any additional apps for this any more.
Only if phone is in a dark room, AOD switches off. That is not perfect because you do not see waiting messages then. But when you then lighten the room, AOD comes back. I can live with that.
