Hi! I got a copy of a Galaxy S4, let's call it a "generic device" :p !

None of the apps I've tried were able to control the notification LED, I think that it's controlled by a Script (it gets on while charging, finished charging or starting up).

The notification LED is composed of 3 separate LEDs (Blue, Red and Green). I've managed to control them with this app to switch them on/off (Rooted mode).

Is there any hope that your app support it? It's really annoying to have a notification LED useless :/ !

Thank you in advance sir!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Some Galaxy S4 users reported that Light Manager is working properly on the device.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] tarkan-t29:
No sir, my device is a copy of the Galaxy S4, an MTK based device.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
I guess your MTK based device requires root to control the notification LED. Sorry to inform that I'm not going to support non-standard way of controlling notification LED.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] tarkan-t29:
Yes and it's already rooted.

Thanks for your time anyway and keep up the good work :) .

Fluctuation in colours

Hi, I'd firstly like to say thanks for producing and maintaining this app :)

After updating from 4.4 to 5.0, I had problems with the colours on my phone.

I had worked perfectly normal with 4.4 but after 5.0:

Yellow, White, Cyan, Pink no longer work.

Sometimes the colour will revert to green as a default for all: even if the selected colour isn't green.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

Works great, QA approved. ;)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Try uninstall and reinstall Light Manager and see if it solves the problem? Perhaps it is due to caching during updating.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] theronkinator:
Hi, great app thanks, just a few things,

1) I use the no signal notification, but using airplane mode triggers it, seems to be a bug. Basically the pattern is, airplane mode, lock screen, no signal LED blinks, unlock screen, light off, lock screen, bit of a faf to do each time.

2) App seems to eat battery. Under additional settings I have "Auto cancel per notification" set to 5 minutes, does this apply to all of them in general or only in alternating mode, if so does the LED flash until dismissed normally, if it does apply can we have lower times like 2 mins etc.

I previously had a Xperia U which I don't know if you know that phone, but it has an LED bar with three RGB LEDs (much brighter than S3 LED, and I used an app called "Illumination Bar Notification" from xda (also on google play). I had that set to very similar settings to this app (except 2 min timeout) and it didn't even use 1% battery, where as this app is using 5%, any ideas?

Anyway great app, can't believe things like this aren't included as standard.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
1) Airplane mode means no signal, right? I am actually not detecting airplane mode, I'm detecting no signal.

2) Alternating mode does eat more battery due to wakelock requires when LED color alternates. However recently I found a bug which drains a little more battery, I will fix this bug on the next release. Please let me know if the next version of Light Manager managed to reduce the battery consumption. FYI, the next version will be release somewhere during this weekend.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] theronkinator:
Thanks for the reply,

1) I realise it means no signal, however it's a user chosen no signal, rather than a loss of service (Which is what I assume the notification is for).

2) Thanks I'll try the next update, if I was to disable alternating would it just do one and that's it, or would it do one and when that's finished start the next colour? How do we change the duration of the notification (not blink rate etc.)? Is it possible to have one or 2 minutes before it goes off?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Last time I tried b4 to simulate a loss of service with metal shield box instead of user chosen no signal and it worked. I'm not sure why yours is not working. I will try test again and see. By the way, is there another way to simulate loss of service?

For normal mode, it will just do one. For normal mode, you can't set the duration. But for alternating mode, you can set it in Light Manager > Advanced Settings > Auto Cancel Per Notification.

3rd party apps

I have a rooted Samsung S III, Android 4.1.2, and LM 5.0.

When I look at the list of apps at the end is 'Add an application Click to add an application into...' So I click and nothing happens. I've also tried a press and hold but no joy. How do I add a 3rd party app?

Thanks,

IU
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Adding an application only applicable in alternating mode. You have to change operating mode from normal mode to alternating mode.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Updated to v5.1

- Allow Sprint visual voicemail app to be added as 3rd party app

- Added smoothness adjustment for alternating LED

- Fix some backup problem

- Fix some force close

- Fix static LED issue on certain devices

- Allow system app Google Keep to be listed in app list

- Added notification LED for Wifi hotspot on

- Fixed bug that will drain battery life

- Fixed some bugs causing false notification LED

- Fixed showing error message while getting missed call from private number

- Redirect user to LED setting page after adding contact or gmail account

- Added some missing translation for Greek, Slovak, Swedish, Croatian

For those who feel that alternating LED is not alternating smoothly, now you can adjust the smoothness. By default, it is set to 15%. Please note that the higher the percentage, the more the battery consumption. You want something better, you need to sacrifice something. Let me know if the smoothness setting work for you?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] wyeyip:
app got updated automatically.

Would be great if its possible to set static LED during charging. Used to work in previous version.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MattyDip:

What is this smoothness adjustment? Thanks
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Eleve11:
Updated some Swedish translation in the Docs file, to next version! :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Brendo:
New version seems to work well. If I have unlock to remove notification setting enabled, it turn off always on (flash rate: none) leds for a second or two, then turns them back on. Can you add a setting for each notification that allows it to not be affected by the turn off on unlock setting?

Eg. My s4 shows led if screen is on. If it's charging (led flash: none) the light is on until I unlock phone. It then turns itself off for a second or two, but as it is still on charge, it then turns itself back on. Would by nice if it just stayed on

After update, notifications that i set to have no flash rate are flashing (Battery Charging). Anyone else?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] lexman098:
Can confirm that flashrate=none no longer works.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Brendo:
What device? Working fine for me
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
What device are you using? Stock ROM stock kernel?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Some users are complaining about the alternating LED sometimes like fighting each other, or sometimes it is not blinking stability, or sometimes some notification LED does not light up. Please check if by adjusting the smoothness can solve the problem? You can set it to 100% but it will drain more battery.

Sorry to inform that I won't go into so customizable. 1 second or 2 delay is not a big deal.

same here, Galaxy Nexus as seen in my sig.

I love setting blink rate = none to have the LED constantly on.

Now when none is selected it seems like a 1second blink rate or even lower, also when using the option "test LED"

Pacman for Xperia T. It was *just* working though. Can you maybe post the last apk so some of us can get it working again until your next update?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
I think I know what's wrong with it. I guess this problem happened on Galaxy Nexus device only. Please let me know your device model name so that I can revert back the code specifically for Galaxy Nexus device only.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] wyeyip:

Samsung Galaxy Nexus i9250 - yakju

Additional info:

When testing the blink rate in the "test" area at the bottom of the app, it behaves normaly/fine, but when selecting test in lets say "missed call" the blink rate is wrong.

Added 3rd party apps had before the update also issues with the blink rate - I added GMX mail as a 3rd party app and selected none as blinking methode but still it was blinking - as I said, this was also at least 2 versions before happening but not with non-3rd party apps.

Im happy to provide any help or hint to get this fixed.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
For those who is having the static LED problem, please try this apk and see if it solves the problem?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/vxfy3n45bijd5no/LightManager.apk
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] lexman098:
When I test flashrate=none from the main settings screen it seems to work. I forget what happened the last time though, I just know the actual notifications were still blinking. When I try to test a specific app notification setting with the APK you posted it gives me a toast that says CustomPreferenceScreen2.fnExecuteLEDTestingEach() - null (and the test doesn't work at all).

---------- Post added at 07:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------

So after getting an email (and hearing the notification sound) the LED didn't come on at all. I don't think this version works.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
I guess I will have to make static LED setting configurable instead of hardcoding. Please try the beta version of apk below:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/9eggjm3r48d2pgy/LightManager.apk

Go into Light Manager > Advanced Settings > LED Function > Static LED and select "Option 3".

Let me know if it is working.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] HansiHusten:
Thanks for the new beta version.

Well its working for me with option #3.

At least when I test the settings, have to see during the day how real messages are handled but for now it looks very good from my side. :good: :good:

--edit--

Looks good, got some FB messages and the LED was not blinking. Nice!

BUT the LED fades every 10 seconds or so, means LED is on (not blinking) and after 10 seconds it slowly fades/switches off and then one second later on again (loops).. [that was also before the update, maybe you can check it sometime]

Unfortunately this fix does still not apply for added 3rd party apps.

Wrote me a test mail and the LED is still blinking in a 1 second interval (added GMX mail as 3rd party tool - notification access granted - using normal mode so that nothing else interfers)

Testing the LED works for this added 3rd party app but when an email comes in its blinking.

Using as suggested Static LED option 3

[was also happening before the update]

Anything else I can provide to get this fixed?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
You can try static LED "Option 2" and see if the LED fades problem is still there?

About the 3rd party apps still blinking issue, could you try change the color in Light Manager to another color? I suspect the blinking LED could be coming from its own GMX mail.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] NoorQ98:
good app..!:laugh:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] HansiHusten:
Thanks for your quick feedback.

Option 2 also makes the LED fade after about 10 seconds. I will give option 1 a try and report back.

And regarding the 3rd party app: You were right, GMX has its own LED notification, unfortunately GMX app does not offer the option to disable it so I have to live with it until Light Manage will take over the complete LED function (if that will ever happen).

--edit--

Ah yeah option 1 brings back the blinking :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Patroy:
Why i dont get led notifications for facebook messenger? (rooted i9505)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] wyeyip:
Thanks!

Tested out with Static LED option 1 blinking still occurs,

Option 2 and 3 works perfectly. The LED is now static when charging.

Not sure if its possible, but could you make the LED to light up during charging even when screen is on, I know theres a option to turn off LED when screen is turned on. I'd like the LED to turn off when I turn on screen when reading notification. As for charging I'd like it static as long as its plugged in no matter screen is on or off.

If its a hassel dont bother, the apps is great as it is.

Thanks again :)

good morning. i have galaxy mega 6.3 but even it's rooted, it says that led of facebook and other required root. how can i do understand the software that my phone is rooted? thanks
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] wyeyip:
update,

Static LED 2 and 3 has got very slow fade in fade out instead of being static on my device.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
I guess the LED fading after 10 seconds could be the hardware limitation of your device. Have you ever seen your LED static for more than 10 seconds? Regarding the 3rd party app, you can try alternating mode which will take over the LED control completely.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
After you have granted the root permission, remember to click restart Light Manager button for changes to take effect. If you are using custom kernel, make sure that android logger is enabled.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
See if your device has su binary in /system/xbin ?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Someone reported the slow fade out issue as well. But have you ever seen your LED light up statically before?

Yes, it has! Please, perhaps it is because is necessary some modified kernel?

Hello, u've ussed to se static led... How can I do it?..

No, stock kernel should work fine.

Are you able to use other app that requires root such as root explorer, titanium backup etc?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] wyeyip:
Yes I have, it was before the latest version came and auto-updated through market. But I couldnt uninstall the update.

Any chance you still have the previous version? I'd like to test it out.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] HansiHusten:
Yes I had a static LED for more than 10 secs with Light Flow (never faded) and I think, as someone already stated that, that I did not had this issue before the last one or two updates.. but I am not 100% sure... i switched between light flow and your app so often that I cant remember, sorry :(

But with light flow I really had a static LED, so it shouldnt be a hardware limitation.

But hey, dont invest too much time in this, at least I can say for my self that I can live with that :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] spam.anonym:
hi ^^

awsome app! :)

but i noticed i small "bug". i had to turn on statusbar-notification in LightManager to get root-access finaly.

could you pls add an Option like "blink fast 3 times, then wait 3 sec, then repeat". with several Options, like "how often blink fast", "how fast blink", "light/blink-duration per app", ...

longer intervals of Change would also be great.

also great would be to set times in milliseconds.

very helpfull would also be the possibility to add more apps.

a nice Option would be "Show notification in statusbar only when there are notifications to cancel" so we can clear all with one click ^^

a "glow"-function would also be nice ^^ (dimming the led from dark to bright and back to dark)

SonyXperiaZ dont supports all Colors. is there a list with all supportet Colors for the SXZ?

its bit annoying to try all HEX-Codes.

it seems smoothness dont works on SXZ.

k.r. ^^

hi,

I have use light manager for a few months and it's work fine but after I've change ROM to trinity 3.4 on Xperia S it did not work well, I have root and busy box installed, the light manager work only the phone receive SMS message, missed call, battery charging but didn't work when receive LINE message, outlook e-mail, foursquare message, it's very strange, I've try uninstall and install the app again but still the same.

Anyone have suggestion to solve this? thanks in advance.

Hi, thank you for the amazing work with this app, it's by far the best led manager app from Android!

Just one feedback though: is it possible to have the option to clear all the notifications leds when the notification is dismissed? I'm experiencing the led keeping active if the notification is dismissed but not "read". For example, even after I unlocked the device and cleaned the whatsapp notification, it just goes away when I open the app and read the message. Same thing with Gmail.

Oh, of course the led notification is just when the screen is off.

Thanks!
