Is there any way to get Light Manager to work with the stock Jellybean email app and others (Facebook, etc.)? Light Flow seems to get around this somehow despite my phone not being rooted but it's too convoluted and buggy.

mckoo,

Possible mild BUG report.

Scenario:

I reboot my S3 and I have a missed call notification which I have not dismissed. Upon system startup and screen off, the LED notification is flashing at a color and rate of the SYSTEM setting....and NOT Light Manager's setting. Restarting L.M. does not fix the issue. In other words...L.M. is not in control even if I get a new notification.

What fixed it is simply dismissing the missed call notification. Then L.M. took over from there with any new notifications.

So, is the L.M. "DISMISS notification LED at screen unlock" (or Widget Locker unlock) not able to handle this....YET? Not a big deal Mckoo but would be nice if it could be fixed. Thanks
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jhuff83:
Seems the led notification is hit or miss w/the light turning off after I get the popup of a text. Anyone else having this issue?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
With the method that I am using to detect notification for 3rd party apps, sorry to inform that your device has to be rooted.

When I restart Light Manager lately I am getting a popup on the bottom of my screen that says "AlternatingTimerReceiver onReceiver () - null" Any idea what that is all about?

I am using the MOAR rom which is based on MD4 for the Galaxy S 3.

Edit - I rebooted and cleared cache and dalvik cache and the issue seems to have gone away.(can't say if it was clearing the caches or the reboot that fixed it) The only reason I thought to look into it was because I just charged my phone and within a quite short time I was down to around 93% and Light Manager was at the top with a 23 min wake time which seemed odd since I don't recall Light Manager ever even appearing on my battery stats..
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jhuff83:
Still having issues w/handcent after looking at the message popup and either hitting the "X" or responding and the light still blinks.

Hello guys, I have a problem. I inserted a hexadecimal color for whatsapp but I did not like and wanted to reset everything. I tried to delete data, uninstall and reinstall the application, do wipe cache and Dalvik but nothing. Whenever I install the application I find the color that I had set up. Is there a way to start the application from scratch? That is, without finding that color that I had set up? What and where do I cancel? Last thing, I explained the difference from normal mode and AC? Sorry for my English but I'm using google translate. Thanks to all

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
After you restart the device, I guess the system notification LED has been given the priority. 3rd party apps like Light Manager is not fast enough to take over control of the notification LED. Notification LED works with first come first serve basis. As long as the system notification LED is not cleared, Light Manager will not work.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Are you still having battery drain issue now? Perhaps you can try uninstall and reinstall Light Manager. It seems like something has gone wrong after you have updated Light Manager from previous version to the latest one.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
You can just insert another hexadecimal color for whatsapp and it will overwrite the previous hex color. If you want to start application from scratch, you may just follow the sequence as shown below:

1) Delete data

2) Uninstall Light Manager

3) Restart device

4) Reinstall Light Manager

Everything is working perfectly now. I am not sure what the issue was. It only happened that one time.

Thanks :)

Do you have the option to clear notifications when the phone is unlocked check in light manager under advanced settings>cancel led after unlock?

Also in handcent do you have the otion to mark messages as read when pusheing the back button or when cvlosing the popup checked? One is under menu>settings>notification settings>popup settings>Back key...make sure that is checked. Also under menu>settings>notification settings>popup settings>mark as read...make sure that is checked.

With the one setting in light manager checked and those other two settings in handcent checked my light never turns on any more now that I am running Light Manager version 3.9.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jhuff83:
Did not have the back key checked. Will see if that fixes the issue.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Updated to v4.0

- Added generate notification LED when GPS is on

- Fixed Facebook messenger notification LED for received sms/mms

- Added function to disable toast notification when error occurs

- Fixed force close when restore settings for some devices

- Added some missing translation text for Portuguese

For those who is getting error toast message after hang up call, you may try to disable "Show Toast Notification" in advanced settings. I think this only happens to some device or some ROM. It might not necessary to be an error. So if you found it to be annoying, you may disable "Show Toast Notification".

It's there any way you can add something that will disable the charging/battery status light when a notification comes in and reable it when cleared...when I have the phone plugged in the notifications get messed up with charging status...Thanx
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
When you are using normal mode, notification will be higher priority than battery status light. For example, when you are charging the phone and currently the LED is red, then a SMS comes in and it will show the notification LED for SMS. After you have read your SMS, then only the battery status notification LED will be shown back.

When you are using alternating mode, both battery status light and notification light will be blinking alternately.

Yours is not working as what is mentioned above?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] djtheraven:
Yeah it is but is there a way to make a setting for alternate mode because I like adding my own apps but battery status and notification alternating on my device gets erratic...the flashing isn't even

thanks for the advice. I tried the sequence you told me but nothing changes. I tried to do a full wipe, reinstall my rom and still nothing. just left with the clean rom, just installed, I opened light manager and there was still that color hex set. the problem is that since I set that, the LED for whatsapp no ​​longer works. I noticed that even if I delete the cache settings / manage applications, the first time you light manager, this will always return the same.

you have other tips? thanks

Inviato dal mio GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
After much consideration, I guess I am not going to make light manager app very customizable. The flashing is not even because I had limited the wake lock duration in order to save battery life, it also could be due to the processor is busy doing something at that time and not enough resource allocate to light manager.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Are you using normal mode? If yes, remember to disable the notification LED in Whatsapp setting. After you have enable WhatsApp notification LED in light manager, remember to click "Restart light manager" as well. Then set the WhatsApp notification LED to the color that you like. See if it works?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] gianmorello:
thanks for the reply. I used it is usually in normal mode, I also tried the AC. the problem comes from when I entered the hex color from that time no longer worked. the fact that I do not understand is why even if I delete data, uninstall, reinstall, that color instead of zero always comes back as I had set myself. should not start from scratch? There are other files that might be deleted remain in memory and maybe bother applying? thanks

A few posts back, you said that you even RE-INSTALLED your ROM. Did you do a CLEAN INSTALL? Did you wipe both your internal and external SDcards (if you have both) because, if you did, then there should be NO CHANCE that the HEX you entered in that first time...would show up again....unless that HEX color is the default color.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] gianmorello:
hello thanks for your interest. I will also reset the sd internal and external no. I think I've tried them all, and frankly I can not understand from where you take the data ... I enclose two screens, the first is how do I find the part of whatsapp just downloaded the application, and the second is if I try to change the hexadecimal color, as you see it does not seem inserted ... Well I do not understand anything ...

Lets make sure you are doing this correctly because my tests worked perfect.

Lets do a TEST...follow EXACTLY like me...

0) ENABLE your WIFI

1) Open Light Manager

2) Operating Mode...."Normal Mode"

3) Advanced Settings...scroll down to "Led Color Mapping", go to "BLUE" or in your case, "BLU". Default color for Blue should be 0000FF...if it's not, then change it to 0000FF. Click OK and you should now see "BLUE, 0000FF.

4) Back to main menu.

5) Scroll down to "WIFI on". Click it. Then ENABLE it with flash rate of "1 second". For the "color", click it, and choose Blue. OK.

6) MAKE SURE your WIFI is on and turn off the screen. You should see a fast flashing blue led on your S3.

7) If you don't get the flashing blue led, then click on "Restart Light Manager". And turn off your screen again with WIFI enabled. If you still don't see it, scroll down to TEST. click ENABLE, change the color to RED, accept it and also choose flash rate of "1 second, accept it and turn off your screen without clicking anywhere else. If you don't see the RED flashing led, you have other problems. NO USE going to step 8! But if it did work, go to step 8.

8) Go back to the main page and click on "WIFI ON", then click the color, and scroll down to "CUSTOM COLOR", and click it. Now go to "Hex Code for Custom Color", click it and type in FFFFFF, click OK.

9) Turn off your screen and notice a flashing white-ish LED...a bit blue-ish here.

10) Turn screen back on and click COLOR and revert back to BLUE in the list and turn the screen off to see flashing BLUE.

11) NOTICE....the FFFFFF remains but it is Grayed out. So it means nothing.

Does this all work for you!!!

If yes...then APPLY the same tactic to your WhatsUpp app.

REPORT back.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] gianmorello:

Is it possible to add also Viber to normal mode like Whatsapp?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] gianmorello:
unfortunately it does not work .... The beauty is that the LEDs for gmail, sms and missed call go. only one for whatsapp, where I had put the hex color that is re always wrong ... I can also be ruled out as a problem of whatsapp because I tried it with light flow, and no problem with that.

Inviato dal mio GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] themadproducer:
I cant understand what your saying sorry.

Please be very specific with your posting so that I/we can help.

You say it didn't work. Which one of these 3 things...

1) sending yourself a whatsapp message doesn't work.

2) receiving a whatsapp message and no led comes on?

3) receiving a whatsapp message and the wrong color led comes on?

If this #3 is what is happening, then I would suggest you disable ALL other LED settings in Light Manager and test whatsapp again. Because, maybe when you get a whatsapp message, one of your other Light Manager settings is also getting triggered. (eg sms/email)

In normal mode, only the FIRST led to trigger, will flash it's color. So if you get a whatsapp message which is supposed to be BLUE, but it is also triggering your sms led of RED first (for whatever reason) then, the red will be flashing, not the blue. JUST A GUESS....a possibility.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] gianmorello:
I'm sorry if I was not clear and sorry for my english (google translator), therefore, the LED when I receive a message on whatsapp does not turn on. I also tried with other colors in addition to blue and does not go with anyone. the application works because it lights up the LED on the right color with gmail, sms and missed calls. thanks

Inviato dal mio GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] themadproducer:
I was able to reproduce your issue.

Also, I was able to resolve it. Try these steps.

1) Go to Whatsapp settings>notifications, and DISABLE the LEDS in 3 different places.

2) Open Light Manager and set Whatsapp to a stock color (not a custom hex)

3) Test Whatsapp by receiving a message. (I tested using 2 phones)

4) If unsuccessful, don't change a thing, go into RECOVERY, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik Cache.

5) Reboot, and test.

Good Luck

UPDATE: I actually went into light manager and just started trying random HEX values and each time it worked no problem. So for me, the key was simply to DISABLE Whatsapp's 3 notification LED settings and only enable the one inside Light Manager.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] gianmorello:
I looked in settings / notification of whatsapp and the LEDs are disabled. Now I did wipe cache and wipe Dalvik cache. I expect us send a message on whatsapp as I have two phones to do the test. with six friendly. I do not know if it will be useful, but I remember that before you enter the hexadecimal color of whatsapp, light manager worked perfectly. the time I added the color after a while I noticed that the application was eating me a check of the battery. else, I added the color even though I had removed the superuser app. what can be the problem?

Edit: does not work the same

This is what works for me with Handcent. Go to Handcent settings>application settings>default messaging application, and choose disable. The disable any Led notifications within Handcent settings.

Now, go to Light Manager, and disable led settings for Handcent, and instead, enable the generic SMS and MMS led. Perform the Light Manager test first which is at the bottom of the list. If this works, then test Handcent.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] themadproducer:
Mckoo,

Special request.

I think I found a bug...probably an ICS thing.

Even though I have LED Alerts disabled in ICS, it still allows MISSED CALLS blue led.

Scenario,

Using L.M., I see my custom fast flashing GREEN after a missed call as intended. When I unlock my Widget Locker screen, the flashing GREEN goes away thanks to your fine programming.

BUT....then the stock slow flashing BLUE led starts working again until I dismiss the missed call notification.

Is it possible to also KILL this stubborn stock blue LED upon Widget Locker unlock? Can you implement that? I can't believe I am still chasing this crap after months of tweaking. (no disrespect to you) I mean the reason your app exists is because Android can't get it's S*** together. I know it's ICS but man...a bit of testing would go a long way towards CORE FEATURES when millions of people are paying and using Android. Sorry for the rant.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] themadproducer:
BTW Mckoo,

the above post is similar to another one I reported recently where I talked about rebooting my S3 and then having the stock Missed Call LED flashing. I am thinking that these 2 issues are tied in. (and we know why pretty much)

In any case, I am more concerned with the above issue without the reboot. I mean...I want to 100% rely on your superior app for LED control and never allow Android notifications to interfere. So maybe I am asking if you can find or implement a workaround to the Android bug.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
You mean it only works once? now it is not working anymore?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Remember to click "Restart light manager".
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
The stubborn stock blue LED is not easily to be killed. Some more an app cannot interfere with another app while using the notification LED. Unless I directly use the low level LED driver to control LED which I am not going to do that.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] themadproducer:
Hey Mckoo, I figured that much. If you think of anything, a work around, let me know please. Thanks for replying.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] themadproducer:
It works perfect for me, so I assume you need to adjust some settings. Make sure to disable notifications for your stock SMS app. Then make sure notifications are enabled inside Handcent... except for the LED portion.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] themadproducer:
- Stock ICS 4.0.4 rooted, I747m (N.A. Variant)

...settings>led indicator>missed event DISABLED

- Built in Messaging app (which I believe is Android not Samsung) Notifications button unchecked (disabled) as well as all reporting and push features.

- Handcent

...settings>Notification settings>Notifications ENABLED

...settings>Notification settings>Notification Settings LED's DISABLED, Show notifications text ENABLED etc etc

...application settings>default messaging app>DISABLE

When I read Hancent messages from within the Handcent UI, Notifications disappear from the home screen notification bar. Always Has.

- Light Manager

...Normal Mode (this is pretty crucial for me battery wise and consistency wise because the other mode is wonky on my S3)

...choose your leds etc., for SMS and MMS but leave Handcent option disabled.

- Widget Locker

When I unlock my screen using Widget Locker, L.M. led notifications are cancelled....except for the stubborn slow BLUE led for missed calls that ICS does...which I now am convinced is a BUG...a bit of sloppy code.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] themadproducer:
For me, there were 2 ways to clear LED notifications.

1) Widget Locker (I don't expect you to install it, but it is a feature that mckoo added)

2) touching or pulling down the notification bar/curtain. (and/or clicking the Handcent message notification) Does this one work for you?

I'm using using Light Manager currently over Light Flow on my S4 as EVERYTHING works great except Handcent, and here's what I've done differently than you but want to find out how to get it will working this way

Lil' help here, anyone? Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] themadproducer:
Since I do not have an S4 (and slightly envious about that) I can just take some guesses here.

1) I am pretty sure, that the Handcent option inside L.M. never worked for me even when I exhausted all avenues. So it's disabled

2) Indeed...in L.M., I enabled the regular SMS and MMS led's.

3) If I remember correctly, I could not get rid of certain LED notifications unless I opened Handcent by way of the notification inside the notification bar. But Mckoo implimented a great workaround if you use Widget Locker lock screen....which has been amazing for me for many years. (takes time to find the best settings....but so unbelievably versatile and reliable)

When I unlock Widget Locker, it turns off all L.M. initiated LED's. You should at least try it if not adopt it.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] KryptosXLayer2:
I think it's interesting that he did it that way, to use Widget Locker to clear notifications from but I'm just not going to use it and shouldn't have to use it.... I like Touchwiz, as shocking as that sounds, and like the stock lockscreen! I have WL installed from having older phones with crappy stock lockscreens or wanted to incorporate shortcuts into them before it was official, but now I'm just not going to do that

If I set notifications to SMS / MMS and disable Handcent, I know I get the notification, but there has to be a way to stop the notification by having Handcent selected as the default SMS app, I can't see how that doesn't work right....
