Is blue staying on for 10 seconds, shutting off for a second, then staying back on for 10 seconds for anyone else? TIA.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
i found an app called blink from the marketplace, that does the same thing, but much more reliably for me. and has a very easy to use UI for anyone interested
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
Yes that is the default settings
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
I'm definitely going to try it out right now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] miketucky350:
I've used lightflow and it was very inconsistent. Just tested blink and it works perfect. Also it will leave the led on where stock or light flow rarely blinks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
yeah im not a light flow fan. Blink is light weight and works alot better
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _tek_:
Thanks for pointing out Blink, it works great! Only problem is purple doesn't work, though it seems like it should as red + blue = purple. Oh well :rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
I saw you promote blink in another thread and tried it. Good call bro!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3taman:
I'm trying out Blink vs Lightflow.

The menu's seem a little easier than lightflow.

White = Red fast flash just like on lightflow. Trying to figure out Green and see if it would give the Magenta (Red + Blue at same time) flash, but can't seem to get it to work on Blink....which is a bummer.

Was hoping that this app would enable a faster blink, but it seems no different than lightflow.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
yeah at this point i dont think any apps can change it. I asked Viper about it, he's going to look into it at the kernel level to see if there is anyway that can be changed
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] andrewpmoore:
It's funny because the reason I wrote lightflow in the first place was because I'd tried blink and it never worked well for me. I think this is the joy of trying to support so many phones as they all have their slight differences.

For those that find lightflow more problematic than blink, we've got quite a bit more control going on as last time I checked blink you can't have colors alternate for multiple outstanding notifications. This may be why with lightflow you find the odd blink of an led as the app re-issues notification colors.

I think both apps have their place. Light-weight vs more control. For some one is more reliable and for others it's the other way around.

As for changing flashing speeds. Both apps try to control this via the android API, but the majority of phones ignore the settings - hence the reason they both blink at the same speed. I think kernel mods would be the only possibility to change that. That or if I could get a less battery draining software control flasher going!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
gotcha, either way we appreciate the hard work from you guys
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
So I have in all used blink for several weeks and light flow for several weeks. This is how my chalk up is. Light flow is awesome and has lots of options but users more cpu than my OS. After a full day its used like 30 out 45 minutes of cpu which is way too much. Blink doesn't have many options but the only thing I really get allot of is text messages so it works perfect for that and for g mail and missed calls and other bonuses. It almost users no cpu at all which is the clear winner in my book as it does everything I need it to. I wish light flow didn't slaughter my cpu cause or it would be my first choice for sure
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] andrewpmoore:
I'm hoping the next release chops down the cpu use a fair bit as I've been working on cutting it down. It won't get down to blink levels though due to cycling multiple notification types as this has to partially wake the device to perform the change. As I add more features over time cpu usage increases, so every so often I spend time on releases to try and optimize usage as much as possible.

I've thought of adding a "just show the most recent notification" option as that could pretty much chop out lots of cpu usage. Also because we support more apps (some which don't really have much access data to support notifications we have to monitor more information through the accessibility service)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
Your the one who makes light flow? Sweet, in your comments right now it led me to think maybe you could release a light version for just the basics. Also what would the option "just show the most recent notifications" entail?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
+1 agreed 10char
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazyflipj:
Thanks for bringing up Blink. Downloaded and works well. I'm using white as my led (choosing white has proper red blink pattern)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] andrewpmoore:
The battery/cpu use comes from cycling around notifications. It sleeps when there's 0 or 1 notification, but increases when there's more than one.

With "just show the most recent notifications" I mean that whichever notification that came in last would be displayed, but the others would be effectively cancelled out. Doing this would remove the need for repeating alarms which trigger the successive color changes at the moment.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JimSmith94:
Sorry to thread jack the thread jack, but what version of Blink are you using? Mine is 2.1 and no updates are available. It doesn't have white as an option, just yellow, purple, blue, red, green, and turquoise.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazyflipj:
When you click on more colors white is set as default
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JimSmith94:
Perfect, and it does flash! Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
That makes alot of sense. If you do that then you can keep how fancy it us and how many diverse options it has and rock on battery life. I think most wouls agree you should put that as a option to enable or disable in thd app!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gabster21:
Hi, don't know if this has been mentioned before but notifications from gmail labels is not activating the LED in ICS.. gmail notifications work fine but sometimes sporadic (I wake up in the morning and no LED despite having received a notification, Lightflow debugger also registered that notification but did not activate LED).

Overall great app, compliments my Galaxy Nexus perfectly!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] badname:
I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT

and it is purple

after installing ROM manager and updating to the supported recovery from there, when I did a backup it flashes purple before restarts into recovery.

Same if you just go to recovery from ROM manager
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3taman:
But can you utilize it for an app like flashing that color when getting a new SMS?

I believe if you get the paid version of Lightflow, the green selection gives you the magenta/purple color. It's just flashing red and blue at the same time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] andrewpmoore:
There's no difference between versions of the app for color support (just which apps are supported and their successive color change speed)

So if you can't get magenta with the lite version (using green) then it won't work on the full version either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3taman:
Hmmm. Ok, someone earlier posted that they were able to get it working with the paid version but that it didn't work with the free version.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] icecold23:
Recently installed Light Flow on the Nexus, so I'd thought I give it try on my Epic. While others have said they have had better success with Blink, I do have admit I'm happy that Light Flow allows you to turn off the LED when it the phone is charging.

I haven't played around with it a whole lot yet, but I've had mixed results with it on my EPIC so far...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fallenraven75:
this app is waste of time for the epic. coming from the evo i was sure there would be an assortment of colormods to choose from. i was wrong in this case. its ok the phone is still badass
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mr Ian B:
I am with you on this one coming from an EVO too. Someone here in the EVO xda thread created a bad ass light changing app but when I tried with his phone, it said not supported. Someone has to be able to make one for this phone please.

Ian B
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmarden:
This app works amazingly... our phone only has 2 colors in it. Red and Blue.

Every phone is a little different so within this app, white = quick blinking red. Red and Blue will typically blink and the standard Epic 4G Touch rate (kinda slowish).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skndeep102:
The app LED me know from the market will allow you to set the blinking for your notification on blue or red. It won't let you set green as a color so you can't get purple at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bsg411:
Ok I have figured out how to get "pink" aka purple aka magenta using the lightflow led app. I am using the paid version. I believe the free version has all the same functionality just has less apps added to the notification list.

To get the pink color you must first enable the direct mode under the general settings. By enabling that, it adds extra settings called LED Mixer once you go under an event/app notification. Led Mixer has the ability to mix to blue and red together. Unfortunately enabling Direct mode conversely disables the flash rate/custom flash rate under the event notifications section.

So go to an event/app, scoll down to Led mixer and enable it. Then cllick on the red led underneath and select solid. Then click on the blue led and click solid. And there u have it!! Scroll down to the bottom and test the notification...and it will be pink. Unfortunately only in the solid state. What I was hoping was that under the Blue led and Red led in the led mixer section the option to "Flash - Hardware Controlled" would work....that way we could produce a flashing pink, or red or blue. But when you select it, only blue activates...but still solid. In fact once you select Direct mode in the general section....the blue, red, and pink can only light solid....not flash.

I have tried all types of combinations trying to get pink to flash but no luck, but one thing seems to be definite and that is....you can only get pink in the direct mode!

Hopefully someone will play around with the settings more and find something else out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JordanMitch:
dude thanks this worked
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] montecristo1:
To get to purple, this is what I did, if it hasn't been posted yet:

Light Settings>Set to notification color: purple...test it and it will show blue

Now go to LED mixer>enable>Red LED>solid and Blue LED>solid....

now go test it...Purple.

Disable Charging LED

I was wondering if anyone has used LightFlow to successfully disable the notification LED on the Epic 4g Touch? The bright red/blue charging LEDs are particularly annoying at night. I read through this thread and although there was some great info, I couldn't find an answer to my specific question.

I have tried using both the sleep schedule and charger settings to disable the LED at night, but they seem to have no affect, even after rebooting the phone.

My phone is a rooted Epic 4g Touch running a fresh install of the stock ICS ROM. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I apologize in advance if I'm posting in the wrong thread for this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
If it's too bright at night, why don't you just turn the phone over?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] T-Way:
Well that is what I usually do, but I recently read an article recommending LightFlow for rooted users so I decided to try it out as a more permanent solution. Plus, I like being able to customize the LED notification/color. On my first android phone, the Motorola Droid, you could use applications such as this to customize/turn off the LEDs, and I was hoping to do the same with my Epic 4g Touch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] unique2me:
Hoping someone out there could help me out.

I am considering buying the Epic 4G touch and was wondering if someone could take a quick outdoor video and upload the the raw file online. All the video's that I've seen on youtube are very jerky when the camera is panned side to side so I want to see if this is a youtube problem, or if this is a camera/phone deficiency.

Many thanks!
