Galaxy Nexus notification light with light flow

I am really really happy that the galaxy nexus has a notification light. That was the thing preventing me from moving on from my nexus one.
Of course I wish Google would make the notification light more customizable because as it stands its really worthless by default.
I'm using light flow to help but its not perfect. Maybe its just not ready for ics yet or I'm doing something wrong but these r the problems I'm encountering:
In Google talk when I type a message and the screen goes off, the notification light comes on as if the person has responded but its being triggered by my own message. The only way I've been able to help with this is to hit menu>end chat after typing my message.
The other issue is with Google voice. I don't see a notification light up for it. Do any of you know if the paid version of the app will do it for Google voice?
Thirdly it doesn't seem to stop the sounds from the notifications in the night time mode...it turns off the light, but even though in that option I have it set to do the sound as well, it doesn't do it. I had to go into the sound settings and just turn off the notification sound (which actually didn't help, I had to go into each apps settings and turn it off there).

The Light Flow developer is here on XDA. He's replied in a thread on the app forum. Perhaps your answers lie there:

Personally, I have the paid app and it has been hit and miss for me on ICS... sometimes I can't get the light to go away unless I FC the app. I uninstalled it for now until the niggles get smoothed out.

I was having same problems - light won`t stop flashing even after I checked received sms or missed phone call. Had to uninstall app But once its fixed, I will be first to install it - fantastic!

Anyone else know if there's any other app that can configure the lights?
I've bought a few over the years for my other devices but haven't tried any for Galaxy Nexus yet.
I've noticed though in Google Voice, when I get a text, the light is green.

I used light flow for a bit. but killed at after a day or so. Its still a little buggy in ICS as others have said

i had the proble with the light not turning off too. I had to turn off the notification light for no signal and low battery, and its been perfect since then.

I guess knock on wood, but I have never had a problem with the light staying on with Lightflow paid version.. I feel like if you swipe to dismiss a text message, it will stay on, but if you just open the Messaging app, it will stop blinking. Also, if you use the "x" on the notifications window, it will stop blinking without opening Messaging.
Edit:
With regards to the above post, I have never had the "no signal" light on, but I do have "low battery" and it works fine.

Strange, my problem is actually the opposite to you guys. With light flow my notifications clear just fine, every time. However, it seems like about half the time it refuses to notify me at all. Drains a bit of battery too.

I'm working on improvements for ICS. There's a few things I'm working on for a release in the next few days.
Firstly, at the moment gtalk just doesn't work correctly for identifying notifications due to changes in the gtalk app. I've pretty much rewritten the notification detection for gtalk now and it seems to be working fine in the test builds.
There's a bug I've fixed where for some people the app won't work after a reboot.
As for swiping away notificatons, that won't clear them. It's really frustrating that the accessibility service is so limited in this regard and won't report anything useful back on what's happened. Because of this, I'm adding a new option to clear notifications additionally when you pull down the notification bar as this is something I've managed to hook into. Therefore it'll clear when you either open the app, or pull the notification bar down (but will then be off even if you don't actually view the notification)
I've had a few crash reports (thanks to those who send them in) that I've been trying to fix also, but some of these can take a few iterations to completely stop.
As for battery use, after the next market release adding the above, I'm going to try and add a new feature to just display the most recent notification that's come in. Although it wouldn't be my personal choice, it'll use less battery than the notifications where it's changing in succession around all the notification colors.
---------- Post added at 01:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ----------
As for the sounds not stopping, have you set the native app to "silent" for it's notifications. Just want to see if it could actually be the main app that's triggering the sound.

The paid version of the app also supports google voice.

I'm having a really bad issue where once the screen is off, I can't get it to turn back on. The only way to get it on is to reboot the phone via ADB. Then, once I turn it off, it stays off again. If I press the power button SOMETIMES it will flash my lock screen for a 10th of a second, but then turn back on. This started when I installed the app. I was able to test the LED colors, and it did that during the test, too. Hopefully it's an easy fix!

i got this problem too, turn off foreground, uninstall, install, turn off foreground, turn on. You should be good to go then. App is a bit buggy, but better than what google is currently offering us.

No dice
The good news though is that I can get my phone to work again by entering an ADB shell, entering "su", running a "ps" to list the running processes, then running "kill (proc number here)" to end the process, allowing me to turn my screen back on.
EDIT: Ok, so after killing the process using the method listed above, I re-entered the app, turned the "run in foreground" off, then turned it back on, then rebooted. Phone seems to be ok now.

You can also pull the battery if you want. There are several of us that have had this issue with light flow. The developer has stated that he is working on a fix. I would suggest removing the app until there is a confirmed solution.

Yea, battery pull works too, but considering how finicky the battery cover of the GN is, plus the case i have, it's easier to adb reboot or kill the process.
See my above edit, though. I seem to have gotten it to work.

After phone call, call history screen -- ARGHHHH!

Hopefully something's not set right in some obscure configuration somewhere? Otherwise...
...I'm highly annoyed with this new ICS "feature" that opens the call history screen after any phone call completes. What idiot thought that would be a good thing to do?
I want the phone to do what Android used to do -- return to whatever was in the foreground when the call came in. Or when making a call, whatever was in the foreground when I made the call (think of direct dial shortcuts in the launcher, for example).
Please tell me there's some way around this f*ckture that Google so kindly added.

Hmmm... maybe it's related to Go Launcher?
I'll try some experiments comparing the stock launcher to GO, and report back.

Maybe give On Call End a try: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.brosix.callend&hl=en
Hopefully the "Do Nothing" option works for you, but I haven't tried it.

I have the same issue. Anyway to resolve without installing 3rd party apps?

I have the exact same issue.
after a phone call, the histroy shows up by itself.

go to your dialer, than go to the settings of your dialer, uncheck the option "non intrusive" and it should fix the issue. Had this happen on my sprint SIII

The option is disabled by default on the newest nightly.

Cool thank you it fixed it .it doesn't show the calls missed or dialed calls but I can deal with that unless I'm missing something in the PAC man ROM nightly. But good looks appreciate that

I'm on the same rom and experiencing the same problem. I'm on the 03/06 nightly.
I went to my dialer and settings. The non-intrusive option is already unchecked.
Does anyone know an alternative fix?
I appreciate the help!
Thanks!

i am facing the same problem. Did yours get resolved ?

This happened to me a while back, and it was because I had a theme applied, and the theme hadn't been updated to work with the newer version of Roms...

I have the same issue and get the error if I receive a call when playing games in landscape mode. However the issue for me was with the app that I had installed for orientation by the name of "Set Orientation". The issue here is if you are playing a game in landscape mode and you get a call whose default Orientation is portrait...the call app fails..

Hope this helps others out there with this issue.
I started getting this error immediately after installing a Screen Rotation App called Set Orientation rom Eyes-Free Project.
If I activate any of the Rotation Settings I get the error on all my phone calls, but if I deactivate it within the App, it's fine.
It's a shame because I really liked the App. It gave me a really nice Landscape Mode on the Homescreen and the Lock Screen, but I can't live without the phone.

I had the same problem after an update to Lollipop.
Thanks this thread I discover that in dialer, settings when Enable reverse loop is ON, the next field "provider for reverse loop" was a strane %s.
I push the field and a messagebox ask me to choose a Provider. I choosed WhitePages (US) and the problem stopped!!!

That didn't fix it for me. I don't get that many calls, so I'm currently switching the rotation on and off. Sad, I know!

Here is a quick tutorial to resolve the issue

Update for Verizon

I just got prompted for 12a (VS98612A). My update was unsuccessful because I'm rooted.
Apparently there are many updates (over 450 MB).
Here is the only link I could find.
http://phandroid.com/2015/10/09/tou...g-out-a-huge-system-update-that-could-fix-it/

I got the update and seems to have wrecked Google Hangout notifications. Was getting them just fine until after the update.
1) checked notifications were turned on .. they were.
2) messages are coming in only after I check.
3) uninstalled and reinstalled hangouts - no change.
4) wiped cache and reset defaults.

Did it help touch screen issues (if you were having them)?

I'm curious about touch screen issues as well. I did not realize how much it bothered me till I used a samsung phone the other day and not a single miss. It was bliss!

I've got sync issues as well after the update. Not happy about this at all. When the lollipop update came on the g3 the same thing occured. Had to disable ipv6 on the phone or get it working properly on a router.
I have not tried a reset yet.

Do we have confirmed fixes for the touchscreen? Or is it just placebo effect right now. I'd love to hear some honest feedback. I'm currently rooted and running xposed but if reverting to stock and taking 12a fixes touchscreen issues it would be worth it for me [as long as root for 12a will be possible ]

For me it's definitely not placebo. Knock on is working great. No problems scrolling now. I got used to it before but now it seems like a new phone. I was getting jealous of my wife's s5 but not any more.

Looks like just the Google acct isn't syncing, still getting notifications via Facebook. A lot of accounts disappeared in the settings -> accounts menu (Facebook , Microsoft)
Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk

So after a few hours on this update I can tell you that I didn't notice ANY touchscreen misses at all. Also less lag with opening and transferring of big apps. Even tapping the google search bar worked immediately without extra taps or lag. So as much as I like root, it's crazy to figure out what an actual working phone feels like again. Maybe someone will root 12a. Hopefully.
Edit: and no missing account anything on my particular device either.

So if we rooted 11A, do we have to kdz to get the update?

Not yet. That is my next step. Have to wait until Monday because I'm running GOOD Work and will need a new pin after the wipe. I also removed and re-signed in to my Google account. Right now notifications with Hangouts are hit or miss. Sometimes I get them, sometimes I don't, sometimes it takes 5-10 minutes.
As for the touch screen issues. I have noticed a major improvement. Can scroll through FB without clicking a picture or a link unexpectedly. Also, better hits when I'm typing a character using the edge of the screen, letters, numbers, and hitting the send button. Registers every time now. Also, noticed that when connected to bluetooth in the car, the radio displays song information again.
So there are definitely a few improvements I've noticed.

This update seems to have wrecked all my notifications actually..Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
Seems like its only Google applications..

I can definitely say the phone is much smoother than it was before. No more missed letters while typing, and mistaps whole scrolling. Sucks it took so long to get this update, but the phone is working like it should have from day 1.

I noticed after the update I wasn't getting notifications when an email arrived. Disconnecting and reconnecting my Google account fixed that.
Otherwise I feel your pain. Hangouts notifications are still hit or miss.

A Favour From Unrooted G4 Owners

All,
I'm sure there must be some unrooted owners out there. I am looking to have a question answered before I rebuild my G4 and wondered if someone or a number of people could confirm or deny something for me.
In my old version of lollipop in Do Not Disturb mode there was a tick box to allow calender notifications or not. In the Marshmallow iteration there is not.. I use Do Not Disturb through the night and since the factory reset Calender Notifications are audible when they didnt used to be no matter what I do.
I just need someone to confirm to me that while using do not disturb in priority mode with no applications allowed and messages turned off but all calls allowed whether Calender notifications are audible or whether they get suppressed as part of the Do not Disturb.
Is it possible for anyone to confirm or deny this for me please? I dont want to rebuild again only to find that "thats the way it is now"
Pleeeease can someone help
thanks

Can no-one try this for me?

H815 twn lp

Thanks for the picture. I guess the H815 in Europe must be totally different to the US one as thats not what I have at all..

I've never used any DND mode so unsure where it is you want me to look, I'm running unrooted (for now, another replacement) EE UK on LP.

Make sure your phone sounds are turned on before you do this not in vibrate or silent. Then, In sounds and notifications setting > Do not disturb. Turn it on, press sounds and vibrations and set to priority only. Go to select priorities and under app notifications make sure no apps are ticked. Set Calls from everyone and messages from no one.
Then with the star in the top left so you know priority mode is on, make a calendar appointment with an audible reminder for a couple of minutes ahead and then let me know if the reminder makes an audible noise or if the do not disturb suppresses it. You should get no other notifications at all, but any calls will ring.
IF you could do that and let me know the outcome it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Flashed LED and notification was on screen when turned on, but no sound.

Thanks guys, I'm guessing something has gone wrong with mine then and another factory reset is in order. I appreciate your time and help.

Strange that mine doesn't actually seem to have a DND function actually called that though, I assume it is the same as the interruptions on mine

well I factory rest mine and tried again and I still get notifications through from the calendar when DND is turned on.. officially giving up...
