Anyone Fixing The Notification Light

I experience and read of the unreliable and slow blinking LED notification light.
In my case, it will work about 50% of the time. I am hoping somebody in this community is looking it over.
It would be nice if were more reliable and at least blink faster.

What application do you use to manage your notification light colors?

^ Install that. It takes a bit to customize just how you want it, but it runs flawlessly.
There's a free version floating around on the market, but it's well worth the $1-2 or whatever it is now.

Yep, this is what I use and it works very well. Set the blink rate to very fast (very nice rate), ans buy the full version, as you can set lights for social apps too.

I was looking at light flow but holy cow the permissions it wants gives me pause.
Is all that necessary?

Well, if others are saying they've used it for a bit it's likely ok. But I would assume it needs all the extra permissions because it needs to collect data from them to light the LED. Can't light the LED on a new SMS if you don't know there is a new SMS.

Poor poor me cannot find a dark theme where they show screen shots of the messaging apps. They all seem to show every possible screen but those.
I am looking for reversed messaging app skins. white/gray/red (I don't care) text with BLACK backgrounds.
I do surveillance work. I need this.
And none of us want to break the law and text or read a message while driving but why wave a flag!

I have lightflow too it work good on the stock Verizon with free and paid version. But I have tried AOKP no luck. The MODAC rom has special script to work with trackball alert app led notifications. I wish app light flow would have support scripts.

I use LightFlow also, but I have the blink rate set to Always On. According to the developer, this saves battery because code has to run every time it blinks. Not sure if this applies to the Galaxy Nexus.

I had the 'sleep of death' testing out liteflow... I made the I assume mistake of enabling that 'other' LED that it detected as well. I had to redo my phone after that..

Light Flow

Has anyone used light flow for notification led customization? I've tried it and its pretty nice. What's been your experience?

Im going with a bug

At the moment the leds hex codes sent through to the US versions of the S3 are all messed up. This is common across all apps that try to control the led color and is certainly a bug in the samsung builds for the US editions (it works on the euro ones)
I'm looking into rooted users being able to control the colors better by bypassing android and using unix to send commands to the device. We've got red, green and blue working but not any color mixing yet.

thanks so much andrew! Look forward to using this when you are finished!

sweet can't wait till this app works...
how's the the bug where the green stays on when the phone is just sleeping with no new notifications?
hope the fix comes out soon

There's still a bit to do, but getting out the colors,flash speeds etc are working .it's just trying to fight against the standard notifications that I'm working on.

Awesome.. I still have it installed & can't wait to get it back up and running again

So we would need root with an updated version to work?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2

If we're rooted already and using the app, what do we need to do to get it to work without the constant green LED? Or are you saying you have a modified version of the app that works with rooted US SGSIII's? Can you post that for testing purposes? I'm good with three color for not as long as the green light does not stay lit!

Im getting close to a having a beta ready.
Root will be required until samdung sort out their issues with the led.

W00T!! Cant wait to try it out, if I end up using it a lot(which i prolly will) I'll be sure to donate / buy the full version

I am hopping the updated version will also have a fix for the issue when it triggers an speach alert whenever you open a folder on the TWlauncher ("A folder is opened", "a folder is closed", whatever the English version says).
Then I will buy the full app.

Should just be able to turn off "talk back" in the accessability settings
Dev for Light Flow has been in contact with Samsung Dev's to have them trace back the issue

Thanks for the info, that fixes it but it also turns off Google Maps Navigation talkback ... and the talkback service is turned off, I actually had to mute ALL sound in the accessibility setting.
it is better than before though but waiting for a permanent fix

I can't use the troubleshoot because it cuts off the speaker for calls...

Just Got My Red Magic 5 - Software Limitations

This is the Global version that just came out a couple of days ago. Some minor annoyances that was hoping to get some help on:
1. There seems to be no way to display the battery percentage.
Does anyone know of a system app that I need to disable to get this to work? None of the solutions online work with the Red Magic 5G overlay with Android 10, and I don't want to install a third party widget to get this done.
2. As far as I know, I can't customize the lock screen outside of a wallpaper.
Just shows a general date and time but I would like to put widgets or additional information if possible. If anyone has any insight let me know.
I know the phone just came out, but these two issues are EXTREMELY annoying. I honestly might have to flash this when a method becomes available because I'm definitely not liking the lack of customization Nubia has put on with their Android 10 overlay.

May i ask of yours is passing safety net?

Regarding #1, you are screwed. I've seen this mentioned a few times on different YouTube reviews. Regarding #2, you are correct. But even more surprising and ridiculous is #3, which I'll add here. It appears Nubia is forcing you to use the stock launcher! Yes, that's right, it's currently IMPOSSIBLE to use ANY launcher other than the one that comes out of the box. Nubia has said that this is INTENTIONAL! CRAZY!

I have battery percentage on mine.
Settings > power management > electricity percentage.

There is no settings > power management

Yeah same don't have those options.

Also can't figure out how to access APN settings

I've read that the only way to see % battery is to activate AOD, and the % will be displayed.
Best regards.

You have the latest firmware. My god the launcher is so buggy and bad. They really should let you use whichever launcher you want. Also no setting to change screen dpi or size and it doesn't even have the android 10 notifications. You can't expand or delete or reply from notification drawer. This is really really poor

What versions does everyone have.
I am NX659J_ENCommon_V4.05
Pulse version of phone.
I have no power management options.
I can reply in line to notification in the notification tray.
How is your Wifi speed? I have tried mine on 2Ghz and 5Ghz and I only get about 30MB down, whereas my Honor View 20 gets 100MB.
Launcher is fine once you have it all setup, but kept saying shortcut already exists. If you rebooted you see they are there.
Now I have it all as want it, thats not really an issue now, but not a great setup experience.

That's so weird no updates available for mine also

Battery Meter Overlay was the only app that I found to be able to show the battery % (choose the "Overlap the Statusbar" option). You have to buy the paid version if you want to hide it in full screen mode. It is not perfect, but it is better than nothing. You can choose from different kind of themes and change the colours, scale and position so it is pretty customizable
I already new about Nubia blocking the use of custom launchers (saw a review where it was mentioned) before buying the phone and wrote them about it and asked them to revert this bad decision (and I also told them to fix the missing battery %). I hope you all write them about it as well, so they know that they have to fix these issues. And if they don't allow the use of custom launchers they have to give us a better stock launcher with much better customizability.

Do different models have different firmware?
Have they ever pushed an update in previous versions?

Anyone getting poor WiFi speeds?
Mine is just about 30mb down on 5ghz WiFi when my other phone pushes 100mb.
Tried 2ghz even worse.

Question Samsung A52s 5g notification light or lack of it.

Hi so I've just received the A52s 5g which I am loving but didn't realise it doesn't have a notification led?
I assumed it would, more fool me!
However after doing a lot of reading I stumbled across if you use the selfie camera or face recognition a light circles the front camera?
So this says to me it could do it but doesn't? Is anyone aware of a work around to try and get a notification light going?
I also read about the Samsung app edgelighting +, thought would give it ago but says not compatible.

Try the aodNotify app.

How to root new versions Samsung A52s ??

Question Horizon Light

Hello,
would you please tell me if there's any app that can edit the horizon light animation and/or add a loop, so the animation continues till the notification has been read or cleared?
Thanks in advance

Would be a nice feature to have since the notification LED is gone

On Color OS 12 Stable works fine & is awesome.

I really wish we had Renovate ICE for OP9P. I used that to customize the horizon light on my previous phone.

I 1000% feel the same way. I find myself wanting to go back to my 7pro just to have RICE again. It was so easy to install/use and had every customization option I wanted. I just got my 9pro within the past month and at least once a day I debate returning it and using my 7Pro still just for Renovate.
:I can't decide if I should try a custom ROM like evolution or try to hold out for a rom to flash in Magisk similar to how RICE was. Not sure how many of those will exist anymore considering Magisk is slowly going away

If mwilky and the rest of the Dev team managed to get a OP10, would you upgrade to the 10?

If the hardware turns out to be a better upgrade than the 9 series was and it receives a generally positive response from the dev community, I'll probably upgrade. RICE would definitely be a bonus, but overall this phone just hasn't lived up to my expectations.

Yeah, it's natively available in Oxygen OS. See Settings > Display > Ambient Display. I set it to show during my daily active hours.
Other places that affect this include:
notification detail settings and customization (to change the clock style & other visual elements).
Enjoy!

Im not entirely sure how well this works, but I have messed around with this app previous. I used an app on the playstore called AOA by newGen Mobile, its not quite an ambient display but it is an Always on Display app that enables you to customize your horizon lights as you see fit(color, duration, pattern and such). There is a free version of it if you want to at least try it out.
