Hi guys
can few of the fellow members post their log from current widget?
My mamy phone drains over 150mA every 10-20 min in stand by mode and even if it's push notifications its still way to much in my opinion. Unless there is an app that would exactly show what is draining the battery. Although my phone can still easily manage all day and have quite a lot of juice left to on it but I'm sure it can do better...
Thanks in advance

I have a stock HTC raider and I'm wondering how to set up led notifications on the front of phone if at all possible.

There aren't any unfortunately.

So does noled app!

good I don't see a difference when using it
how in the hell is it draining ur battery??? i get emails and texts when im asleep and my battery percentage barely moves while im asleep for hours on end on noled. Now maybe if u have every option on in noled maybe then its draining like having time stamp flashing and all other the options.....ive had it on my vibrant and this phone both on roms and it has never drained my battery
I think he's talking about the sensors next to ffc.. yeah I wish they were leds

Noled is the best app ever for this phone! no battery drain at all for me, it doesn't even show up in my battery usage stats because it's so low.
Imo it's even better then an LED because you can instantly see what activity you've missed by just glancing at the screen.

The one thing I miss about my G2x is the light in the buttons pulsing s when I had a notification. Loved that.
What would best for the HTC raider/vivid and the telus galaxy s2x? I have the raider and my friend has the telus gs2x. I know both have front facing led's so what's the best option for each of us, if anyone can help out.

BLN > NoLED
I don't like how NoLED is option-less for the most part. Like you can't set it up so the notifications just display in one location, aligned, and nice looking, no you're forced to have them display in random positions on the screen, its kinda weak sauce. With BLN its just like having an LED again. The pro version is well worth it, giving the ability to blink your buttons, its even BETTER than having an LED on the phone (except for different colors for different apps, etc).
Sorry for the late response...Personally I feel BLN is the best option as it uses the capacitive keys rather than the screen.. its as if you have a notification bar! I haven't seen any difference in battery or stability and EVERY notification is received in a timely fashion.
it kinda sucks that you need a compatible kernal for BLN. im scared to root my galaxy s2 and flash a kernal due to previous bad luck with my vibrant. so i will stick with noLed. i love the charging percentage on the screen and all the options it offers.
Noled works fine for me

I have owned quite a few Samsung phones and noled would drain the battery a lot across all of the phones I have tried it on. BLN is the way better option as long as you are running a kernel that supports it.
UPDATE
i finally rooted and flashed a kernal plus custom ROM.
i now use BLN with Noled and i see no difference in the battery!
they both work well. you cant go wrong with either choice.
Noled gives you beautiful visual notifications (plus custom icons) i have mine set up so that i can double tap my screen to turn it on. well its already on but you know what i mean lol. also i have set it so when i charge my phone i get a charging percentage.
Bln actually gets annoying. im the type of person that doesnt always clear my notifications so my LED lights are always blinking due to bln lol. bln doesnt give you an idea of what type of notification you have so you actually have to unlock your phone to see. thats a problem for me because sometimes i ignore my phone depending on the notification. with Noled i can actually see that i have a email, which i will ignore because i dont really care to check my email. with. with noled you get a glimpse at what to expect. 3text messages 2missed calls and 5 emails with BLN its just blinking lights.
i like both apps and use them together. i do prefer noled over bln. it just comes down to personal preference of how you like your visual notifications.

I think you're posting this on the wrong section...this is for the SGH-T989 not the Raider
EDIT: Sorry I'm retarded, looked into it and saw how this works
I'm using the faux kernel with stock ROM, just set up BLN notification and it seems to work great itself and with tasker. I noticed the in the BLN thread(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823922) it says our SGSII draws more battery than SGS, but there is no specific numbers quoted.
So I'm wondering if anyone using BLN has tested it against normal battery idle drain with either blinking & static light?

+1 I want to know too.
No specific numbers but I've been using BLN since it was first enabeled for our phones and I can definitely say blinking KILLS battery way more than not. I had been scaling down the amount of "blink time" for notifications and scaling up "static on" more and more till it was only set to blink for 3 minutes. Switching the whole thing to "static on" for 5 min total has made my battery vastly better. If you are concerned about missing texts/calls after 5 minutes install something like "missed call reminder" from the market so you can set custom reminder tones for forgotten or ignored notifications.
Please hit thanks if I've helped!

Title says it all .. lightflow has been updated and appears to work. I tried it out. Uninstalled it because it wasn't for me but the colors appeared accurate.

Gonna give it a try.
There seems to be a bug with the "US Non-Root Light Control" it works fine with the root option, but with the US variant, in two hours, Light Flow was my number two app in Battery usage, and brought my power from 100% to 73%. For now I'm going to keep testing and see why it's doing this.
Has anybody else notice Android OS and Light Flow (number 1 and 2 on the list) use large amounts of cycles?
Cheers
I could defiantly tell it was putting strain on the battery. Android OS was my #1 on battery usage and LF was about 4th. Phone was on for about 4 hours standby time screen on for like 20 seconds and it dropped the battery about 15-20 percent cant remember exact number.
Hey everyone
I kind of looked through the battery thread and I see people getting 5 or 6 hours of screen on time on average. I'm only getting like 3 hours of on screen time.
I have my brightness set at the first brightness toggle setting and Wi-Fi enabled basically 60% of the time and I use mostly Facebook messenger and play clash of clans a little. I also disabled a lot of stock apps that I do not need. Is 3 hours normal for my usage then?
Thanks

Well, first off, facebook app itselfs drains a lot of battery as it constantly polls for information. If you game a lot on the phone, it sucks the phone battery as well. Uninstall both of this app and you'll see the increase in battery life
If you want more help and you're rooted, download wakelock detector and gsam battery monitor and post some stats here
