[General Questions and Answers] ricardocorreia:
Hi there!

I just bought China Phone Hero H7000 about two months ago, and I tried everything to make GPS work. But I got no success so far.

I googled all arround the internet, and I can't get much information about GPS on this phone, or people who actually bought this phone and tried to use GPS.

I bought my phone on dealextreme. You can google for it and search for h7000 if you want to see the specs.

As I said, I tried everything to make GPS work, but it seems that only A-GPS works, and for that I need to be using a data connection such as Wifi.

I used a lot of application from Android market, for testing GPS function, and to fix GPS satellites position, to fix gps.conf, and file permissions. My phone is rooted.

Also tried some other ROMS for this phone, and I always got the same issue. GPS doesn't work without A-GPS turned on, and using a data connection.

With some applications from android market I can update satellites position, and I can see about 13 satellites, but I just can't connect to any of them.

Tried to connect with full view of the sky, and I live on the country side, so buildings and clouds and other stuff shouldn't be a problem. I tried it for hours, outside and I can't connect to any satellite. I'm from Portugal, and I already used the gps.conf settings for Europe, and also for Portugal. But no luck...

If I'm using A-GPS I can see my location on the map, but I can't get any coordinates. WIthout A-GPS nothing works at all.

I tried google maps, nDrive, Navigon and some other free and paid GPS softwares for Android. All of them (appart from google maps) just show "waiting for location" or "searching for GPS", even using A-GPS and a data connection.

I don't know anymore what I can try to make it work... Any ideas?

Does anyone bought this phone? Anyone with the same problem?

Does this phone has GPS? Or does it have A-GPS only?

Sorry for the huge post. Can someone help?

Thanks in advance.

This link is what I know to be the player ported to our epics, and I'm sure the miui ROM by xboxfanj might have the same or perhaps newer version of it, I wanted to know if anyone had an up-to-date version on their epic, for those that have never tried it, here's the buried thread.

Is anyone else seeing a huge wakelock issue on Android OS on their ICS alphas? I have tried all builds and a few kernels and it is always the same thing. Android OS maintains wakelock around 15-25% of the time that the phone has been off charger.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arikaru0:
I was wondering if there was a ROM that looked like Windows Mobile or Windows Phone 7, and worked like it too?

Like how MIUI looks like iOS, that kind of way.

Anything like the links below

(And I've tried all the WP7 homes, and they all suck)

You mean you tried the wp7 launcher or just a homescreen of some sort?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arikaru0:
I've tried Launcher 7, all those launchers, and none of them work like WP7.

I'm just trying to find something that mimics it closely.

Is there an app in the market compatible with ics, to change the colour led?

Light flow works well

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AmesCell:
I've been missing Lightflow since I went from an Atrix to GSII. Can't wait to get it back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rikbrown:
I can't get the test mode to do anything on this. I press test notification but nothing happens. Did I miss another setting?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dave83uk:
Need to turn the screen off whilst in test mode
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rikbrown:
Thanks for that - phone is upstairs on charge (as usual with its battery life hah, and I'm that lazy to go fetch it) - but I'll check when I go to bed later. Feel stupid for not trying this!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] r3k0:
Ive found that turning off the screen still dosnt work for me but the app does actually work when i miss a call or text.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jss42:
Thanks! new to android phones, works perfectly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infernalman7:
It certainly works well.

But I find it to not work at times. Once I enabled the "force run in foreground" then I couldn't turn my phone screen on and had to take the battery out. So I think I'm fine with having it worked almost 80% of the time :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ref1ux:
It's a great app, quick and easy to setup.

But it does stop working sometimes, I've had it once or twice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Does anyone else have problems with Lightflow? The notifications work well but then after I've checked the email or whatever, I turn the screen back off and the light carries on flashing, even though I don't have any more notifications :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AmesCell:
It depends on the notification, but if it's a Gmail notification and I open Gmail it goes away.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrewpmoore:
The app uses a few methods of clearing notifications.

At the moment 2.7.2 has a bug if you choose "screen" as the clear notification style. It's fixed in the dev build, but not in the market yet.

The others are manual (where you have to manually clear a lightflow notification in your notification bar) and finally "app". (some apps such as gmail have extra methods)

"App" monitors for entering the app (or pressing the "clear all" button in older builds of android) and clears when you've entered the app.

I'm guessing that if you swipe away a notification from the notification bar that the led might still keep going as with Gingerbread there wasn't a method to clear single notifications directly from the notification bar. I'm hoping this has changed in ICS. I know the accessibility service has had things added to it, but nothing jumped out at me that would add in the relevant hooks.

Remember when upgrading the app from one version to another (there's been a few updates over the last few days) that I'd recomment powering off and back on the phone.

Looking forward to running lightflow on a GN myself as I've just picked one up today.

This gives me chance to see if there are any cool features I can add into lightflow for ICS and specifically the GN.

Now, just to get my "real" job out of the way for the day so I can start playing with the GN!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rosswaa:
does using lightflow affect the battery alot?

Apparently it drains alot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AMoosa:
Lightflow gave me Sleep of Death, so I uninstalled it. All ok now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stea1thmode:
Trackball alert pro is pretty cool too, one of my favorite apps on the n1, it's now compatible with ics , but currently only works on the modaco rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NPS_CA:
For those with Enterprise email/Exchange if you ever used Touchdown - might be good to go back.

Their light notifications work fine with Galaxy Nexus - set different notification colors for email, calendars and tasks

PS The Touchdown Tablet HD (Honeycomb) version actually works better though you need to pinch zoom out the email list to get the font smaller
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrewpmoore:
Are you sure it's lightflow. If it is I'd be keen to work out what's causing it.

If anyone who had this issue is using lightflow, could they switch on file logging and then at least if it does happen you can mail to log to me and I'll take a look, but I've heard of others getting the sleep of death that have never installed the app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jss42:
I've been using light flow since I got my nexus last week, never had any issues. Great app!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skanj:
Has anyone got light flow working with whattsapp?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 4569294:
Light Flow was working for me until the update to 2.7.3 and then I tried reinstalling and fudging the settings but still no dice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrewpmoore:
It was for me a few days ago. Could you try add the debug widget and when you get a whatsapp notification, press the little e-mail icon on the widget. That may point me in the direction of the issue.

Whatapp do like to keep changing things though, so it may have changed and I might have to alter things a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Peikko:
This might be a stupid question.

I got my Nexus yesterday and when getting a message the led doesn't flash until I read it right? is there an option to set this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian6685:
What's the difference between the paid and free version of light flow in the market?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrewpmoore:
See our website here http://www.folioflow.com/ff/page/website/lightflow/pageId/1687

There's a few more apps too in the full version. I've just not added them to the website yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian6685:
Okay thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] muck:
mine seems to be working okay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rey-619:
i also got sleep of death ><

maybe some of the settings causing this.

i added alternative LED, but dont know which led this app is recognizing here.

Light flow reduces the battery in half: / (Android OS go to top)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amaya84:
Really?

Consume a lot of battery? :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aly19:
yeah it does drain the battery, when I use the app android os is always on top for things that are using battery. When I uninstall light flow it goes back to screen being top consumer of battery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VoicesX:
really :(

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vapotrini:
Can you be a little more specific please? Does it drain because you have a lot of notifications throughout the day or are you saying that just having it installed drains it regardless if you had a lot of notifications or not?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aly19:
I do get alot of notifications during the day but even when I don't get many it still drains the battery significantly for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vapotrini:
I'm gonna test it tomorrow to see.

Have you tried disabling the "run in foreground" option?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jabok:
Perhaps it's behaving badly with something else as I don't get the symptoms you do and have used Lightflow since day 1. The developer has posted that if you have multiple notifications going the phone does a partial rewake each time it has to change colour... so theoretically if you have multiple colour changes, at the fastest setting, it would drain a little quicker. However, I tried testing this and had no significant drain even then, and there was no mark in the "awake" line on the battery usage graph except when the notification first came in.

Weird how so many apps are behaving so differently for people!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pkeuter:
My battery also started draining like crazy when I installed Light Flow. After removing it my Android-OS battery usage got significantly better.

I installed the new Facebook update today (1.4), and when I enabled the LED-notification, it started draining as well. So i'm kind of wondering if it's really the app which is causing the problem. Maybe it's something kernel-related?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LarsAussems:
Does the nexus without light flow show the led when you charge it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jabok:
No, it doesn't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrewpmoore:
Just a quick heads up on a new version of lightflow in the market.

New features

-------------

* Added gReader, TiKL, ScoreMobile, Package Tracker Pro, Package Buddy

* Added very fast flash speed works on Galaxy Nexus

* Added LED flash speed per notification - I'm using this to have a solid light (orange) for charging, solid green for charged and then very fast flashing for notifications (in that situation you'll get a bit of solid light each time around the cycle of outstanding notifications)

* Add 1% battery threshold for low battery

* Various Bug fixes

As for battery drain, I pretty much get a day out of my phone with lightflow running (mostly on it's default settings) with a variety of 0,1,2 or more notifications and moderate use throughout the day. Leaving multiple notifications on when I go to bed if it's fully charged I'll find my battery has probably dropped by about 15% by morning.

For the next version I plan on adding the option of just showing the most recent notification, which will use less battery for that option. Not that I'll use it myself :-)

I've still not found a way to hook into swiping away individual notifications, but I might add a new "clear notification style" of swiping down the notification bar itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GrandPuba2000:
Did not check the whole thread... but in the whatsapp settings you can define the color of the led yourself! and it works! got my gn two days ago, one of the first apps I installed and supprised that it worked, my desire did not like it ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pkeuter:
It appears like every app that's using the LED-notifications is draining the battery. It doesn't happen to everyone, so I'm wondering what's different in the settings of the people who do have the problem...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] solipsism:
Anyway to raise the frequency how often it lights up? Seems similar the timer on the default notification which is 5-7 seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AmesCell:
I just did 36 hours on a battery with my Gmail set to fast blink and with the led blinking more than it was off. I get several hundred emails per day.

With the backup feature we could easily share config files.

---------- Post added at 03:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ----------

There was a global setting for the app; most recent version has it on a per notification setting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KoktGrus:
Don't know if it's possible. But one great feature would be if it was possible to dim the led in sleep hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GrandPuba2000:
This is already in the app http://www.folioflow.com/ff/page/website/lightflow/pageId/1687

Support Andrew and buy full version to help and optimize it for GN
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KoktGrus:
I already bought it. I know there is a sleep-setting, but it turns the notifications totally off. I want the light-notification, but with a less intense light. Now the phone lights up my whole bedroom when i get an email.

What i mean is that i want to set the intensity of the led to about 50% at night!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djcr33p:
I love this app, bought premium version but was pretty heavy on batt drain. Used low blink intervals. One custom contact colour. Around 40 emails received throughout the day and 5-10 texts. Also, it was repeatedly notifying me that it had been granted superuser permissions so I thought that might be causing the battery drain too? Uninstalled in the end. Was I doing something wrong? EZ

---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------

PS: just downloaded to try again and when I go to enable it in accessibility it says "light flow can collect all of the text that you type except passwords. This includes personal personal data such as credit card numbers...." wtf is that about?

---------- Post added at 12:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 PM ----------

Sorry, just read the damn FAQ like I should've done before freaking out! Generic Google message when enabling and not specific to this app. Apologies.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrewpmoore:
I must admit, I think this would be pretty cool. It should be possible. I'll probably look at adding custom rgb colors first for the led and then when I get around to adding profile support that would allow you to have a different profile for the settings on a night time to in the day.

---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 AM ----------

Thanks for taking the time to help answer some questions. It's quite easy for me to spend large amounts of time on support, and not enough on adding cool new features :-)

And yes, there shouldn't be any problems sharing settings for comparison using the backup and resotre option, the files just need to be placed in to the /lightflow directory on the sdcard
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Muuhmann:
first of all: thank you for this app! really missed such a feature!

but i recognized one thing though:

when testing notifications, i shut down the screen and then the very very first blinking of the LED is really bright and the color i chose (for example orange) but the next blinkings are somewhat mixed with other colors.. there's a little greent and red in it too and also it's not as bright and intense as the very first one..

is it just me or why is that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tossero:
Same thing happens to me ! I hope that its gonna be fixed soon! Great app anyway ! :)

Cheers~
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plisk3n:
I'm using Trackball Alert pro.. works great! And worth the price. The author replies immediately! Great support. Just my 2 cents.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] URPREY:
Plans for support for Google Voice?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grant H:
I have gotten Light Flow to work, pretty decent too, on my GNexus. I believe that it was my user error as to why it was not working properly.

1. Ensure pulse notification is enabled in the stock settings.

2. Turn off notifications in each of the programs you expect Light Flow to work. This was the big problem for me. Once I disabled SMS/MMS and GMail notfications, Light Flow works as advertised.

I really havent tested it with anything other than SMS/GMail so I cant comment on other programs and notifications but for the time being everything appears to be working as stated. Root is NOT required in the least for this app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
That happens because the LED uses Primary colors to make all the different colors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AMDman18:
I Can't seem to get any of the battery related notifications to work on vzw gnex. Low Batt, and charging batt aren't working. Phone's plugged in at the moment so can't test full charge at the moment. Got Gmail and SMS notifications working though. Any suggestions? Also, is there a way to set the led to keep going even if the screen is lit? I haven't seen any sort of option for that so I guess it would just have to be implemented into a newer version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] berkmanmd:
I got the sleep of death as well...

I *think* it was caused by enabling the s6e8aa0 led control.

Anyone else have a similar experience?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aron7awol:
I'm not sure if it's true on all Galaxy Nexus devices, but on all of the ones I've seen the LEDs don't mix perfectly. Even white looks more like a red, green, and blue Venn diagram with white in the middle.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MyComputerDoctor:
I also got the sleep of death by enabling it. Actually what happened was the screen went blank but the touch screen still worked and I was somehow able to reset the phone just by remembering where the buttons were. After a reboot I uninstalled and was fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mixmaven:
Purchased light flow and I keep getting the sleep of death as well, maybe someone who has it working could post general settings? s6e8aa0 led control is not checked. ARHD 2.1.1

Thanks,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JamieD81:
i use lightflow with no issues on the rom in my sig. no sleep of death no reboots, it just works.

only settings i changed were speed *to fastest* and the colors of some of the notifications.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrfuzzie23:
I understand s6e8aa0 is not checked but was it at some point? for me I had it checked and I was getting sleep of death, unchecking it didn't fix it but then I uninstalld it and reinstalled it with clean settings and it worked without the sleep of death
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgwaste:
sure wish this worked on revolution HD cause lightflow doesn't work very well on the nexus. battery drain, does not show light for charging no matter what i do, very convoluted program, not at all reliable.

sorry lightflow guys. maybe make a nice simple version just for nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enhanced:
It is mentioned here that when the LED blinks at a more rapid pace, there is higher battery drain because a wakelock is required every time it wakes.

I am just wondering if leaving the LED solid instead of blinking would result in lower battery drain? I'd much rather have a solid light than blinking anyways so if this could save battery, even better. Leaving the LED on wouldn't kill the battery instead would it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhy8386:
Has been working perfectly with HD for me. I am on 2.1.1.

Perhaps I can help you with settings, although i didnt change much beyond the normal notification settings. Happy to provide them for you if you want them.

---------- Post added at 01:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 PM ----------

Does this hold true for stock LED notifications or for Light Flow only?

No idea about LED perm on vs wakelock but even though LEDs use low power, i would have to think always on vs flashing every x minutes would be worse..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgwaste:
When I tried it it said it needed to patch my framework. I thought that might be dangerous so didn't do it. What exactly does it do to framework?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhy8386:
Didn't notice that if it did it. hasn't affected anything as far as i can tell
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgwaste:
Thats very odd. Maybe you and I are using 2 different things or you know a version that Im not aware of. Im using Revolution HD 2.1.1 LTE and the latest version of TrackBall Alert from the market. Ive also tried the Pro version.

Screenshots of errors included...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhy8386:
Ohhh I thought you said Light Flow. No I am not using Trackball so i wouldn't know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klisp:
I also tried having s6e8aa0 checked off and not checked off and had the sleep of death...so I suddenly got it to stop by going into General Settings and enabling Direct Mode which would change some settings and restart the app....then I went back into general settings and disabled Direct Mode which would change some settings and restart the app...since I did that I never had the sleep of death again!

I did have to go into Notification Settings afterwards and set all that up again because doing what I did seemed to erase all the preconfigured notification settings...but it seemed to do the trick! :-)

I hope this helps!

Could someone double check this?

Also this is with version 2.90

does light flow work with whatsapp?

beamed in through my brain ...

edit ... ok, in paid version :thumbup:

is there also a way to change the blink speed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] santacruzdz:
I saw there is an option to make the light more intense or bright in the options notification something like 1, 122, ... does anyone know how to set it brighter ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drtrmiller:
Excessive Battery Drain

The app seems to prevent the phone from going into deep sleep mode, resulting in a much faster drain in battery compared to when the Light Flow is disabled.

Has anyone played with the settings to investigate any resolution to this?

It doesn't seem to be the actual LED that's causing drain, but the app running in the background.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aly19:
yeah I stopped using that because it caused too much battery drain
