The first red blink problem is still there on S7 edge which I think it cannot be fixed without root.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
It is not necessary to enable "5.1.1 workaround" option.

But you will have to enable "Wake Screen" in Light Manager >Advanced Settings.

If you don't like the wake screen, you will have to enable "5.1.1 Workaround".
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:

What are those functions? Am I obligated to activate one of those options? I don't want that the screen turn on everytime I get a notification.

P. S. What are the differences between the normal version and the pro version?

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Then you have to enable "5.1.1 Workaround", else Light Manager will not work properly.

Both normal version and pro version are the same except that normal version has advertisement.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Rabangus:
I too don't want the screen waking for all notifications. The problem with enabling "5.1.1 Workaround" is notifications no longer clear automatically - for example if you receive an email (Gmail) and access it through the app rather than the notification in the notifications area, then the notification remains until you clear it manually...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] turtuv:
I don't want the permanent notification. I guess I will wait for another update.

Ok thanks. Will use red colour for emails calls and messages.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jproy12:
Unfortunately it's been like this for bit of time...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] turtuv:
After I installed the app, even if I didn't use it, the led still remain red after the battery is charged at 100%. Why?

Inviato dal mio SM-G935F utilizzando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
This is an expected issue after you have enabled "5.1.1 Workaround".

The only solution now is to enable the "Wake Screen" which works for Android 6.0 only I guess.

Anyway I will keep looking for a better solution.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
You didn't use it meaning you have disabled Light Manager? Then the default charging and charged LED light from the system will take control.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jproy12:
Indeed, it's the price to pay to have control of your LED's!

Thanks for the great app, been using the paid version for some time now.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] themcfly:
Hello,

I'm having some issues with the color orange on my Nexus 5X. It just shows as a fainter yellow.

I tried custom color starting from yellow FFFF00 gradually turning green down until i reached FF1100, but it still shows as a really faint yellow. When i remove that last bit of green with FF0000, it instantly switches showing a bright red. No transition whatsoever.

Upon further testing, I discovered the same behaviour with blue: 0000FF shows as blue, but adding the slightest value of red or green istantly turns the led violet or cyan.

So, is the RGB led inside the 5X a real RGB or it has some some fixed colors and toggles their intensity to interpret RGB values?

Does this app work in edge 7 without disabling the active alert where the sides of the screen light if phone face down and notifications come in?

Do I have to enable wake screen for app to work?

I'm sorry but this thread is so long it is hard to figure out if issues are solved?

Thanks for your help.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
You don't need to disable active alert for Light Manager to work.

It is better to enable wake screen for the app to work. If you don't like it, you may disable it while enabling "5.1.1 Workaround" which will have some issues such as notification duplication, notification not expandable etc.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] recDNA:

I am aware of this and already reported to Google few months ago but there is no action taken so far.

Hello,could you please tell me what static led means(it has 3 options, the first one is selected).

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Different devices required different setting to generate non-blinking LED (Static LED). For example, most Samsung devices should use Option 1, whereas most LG devices should use Option 2.

I noticed the stock Messenger texting app for Nexus 6P on 6.0 doesn't connect to the SMS LED light setting. Is that normal? Or maybe the app needs an update for that? Thanks
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] robertogl:
Hi!

I'm using you app from years, i've a little request. Would be possible to have an option to disable LED per app?

There are some apps (Tapatalk, i'm looking at you..) that use led but they don't have and option to disable that...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Other LED settings are working except SMS Message?

Please check if you have enabled notification access for Light Manager.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
You can try using custom color to generate black LED (000000) as a workaround to disable the LED.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Updated to v9.7

- Auto backup settings to cloud and restore during installation

Ah okay. It never asked for that permission so I had no idea [emoji1] I didn't see it in FAQs too. It's working now! Thanks
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] robertogl:
Yes, but that will disable some led already on, like WhatsApp or sms (the black color will overwrite other colors).

Well, I imagine I could write an app myself, I was just asking ;) thanks for your answer!

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jproy12:
If it's Tapatalk you are wondering, it has a built in orange LED in the app itself that can't be changed or even disabled for some reason, I had asked/requested it a while back and was told it can't be changed.

So either you live with the orange LED, or no notifications...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] robertogl:
I think I'll disable that is some way, if it is possible with a simple app but if this isn't I will use xposed. That led is very annoying...

Inviato dal mio GT-I9505 utilizzando Tapatalk

If you find a way to disable the LED within the Tapatalk app, let me know, I've tried to disable it while keeping Tapatalk notifications working, but couldn't find a way...

I don't know if there is anything [MENTION=4047489]mckoo[/MENTION] can do on his end. If yes, yay! If not, guess we have to wait for Google to fix the bug. :(

Besides that, when I use power savings, the led is blink and became blue, probably because of the power save notification. Is there a way to avoid that?

With Marshmallow, there's no way to make it work without either this workaround or the wake screen. Unfortunately you have to live with either one.

Is there an option to change the theme within Light Manger as the white theme is to much on the eyes.. Grey or Black be most welcome thank you all the same..

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] marmistrz:
Hi,

I installed Light Manager on a Samsung Galaxy J7, enabled the screen mode (+clock/date).

What I noticed: if I press the power button when the phone is idle (i.e. the date/clock is being displayed), the date/time view disappears and the screen blanks completely. Instead, I'd expect the lockscreen to appear.

Is it a known bug? Can it be worked around somehow?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
This is how the power button works which will toggle between screen on and screen off. To show the lock screen, you need to press the power button twice.

When screen mode's date/clock is being displayed (screen on) --> press power button 1st time --> screen is blanked (screen off) --> press power button 2nd time --> lock screen appear (screen on)

Else you can press the home button once or double tap on the screen mode that shows date/clock to show the lock screen.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] marmistrz:
Is it possible to change this behavior?

Besides, I've just realized that despite having an AMOLED screen, the standby clock used up the half of the battery juice. Can we somehow take advantage of the AMOLED? (IIRC Nokia N9 used much less power for its standby screen)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Not possible without root.

The screen mode is already using black background which AMOLED screen will treat it as no light to save battery life. However if you make the standby clock always on (24 hours a day), it will sure eat up a lot of battery juice.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] marmistrz:
And with root, how can I make the power button raise the lockscreen? I still want the lps to disappear on proximity (phone case closed)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Sorry that since Android 4.3, Light Manager avoid using any root method to create any special functions or workaround.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] FiOS Dan:
Light Manager is working flawlessly on my Galaxy S4 (Lollipop 5.0.1) after the phone's native LED functionality suddenly and inexplicably stopped. Currently have different color alerts set for incoming email and text messages, calendar events, and missed calls. Kudos and many thanks to senior member

for this app!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] hauhauhau7:
Try reinstalling the app , i had a similar problem a few days ago (clearing data or cache didn't help me).

I backed up my settings, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, restored settings.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] FiOS Dan:
Regret if I confused anyone but there is no need to uninstall and reinstall Light Manager because it has worked flawlessly since the get-go.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] hauhauhau7:
My problems also started out of the blue, no new installed apps or any modifications. It takes 1 minute to uninstall and reinstall the app, maybe it will work for you too.

gmail notification doesn't go away if read on computer

Hi!

I've been using this app for years and love it -- big thank you to MC Koo.

I just upgraded to a Note 5 (from a Note II) and am having issues with the Gmail notification. The LED lights up fine, but: if I read the email in my desktop browser, the notification (neither the LED nor in the notifications shade) doesn't go away. If I disable the Gmail notification in LM, everything returns to normal.

Just to note, I also use mySMS, which lets me send/receive texts from a desktop browser. Everything works fine between that app and LM. When I read a text in my browser, the LED on my phone shuts off, and the notification disappears from the shade -- yay. So it just seems to be a Gmail issue, and only in more recent OS versions (I have MM).

So for now, I'm leaving Gmail notifications disabled in LM, and using the wimpy stock LED notification for Gmail... so sad! ;)

Has anyone else noticed this? I have the 5.1 workaround box checked (things didn't work well without that).

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
To fix it, you will have to disable "5.1.1 workaround" and then enable "Wake Screen" in Light Manager | Advanced Settings.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] dizzwave:
Darn.. Two things: 1. I tried that, and it didn't work. 2. I disabled LM again to see what would happen, and it is still doing it! Something buggy on Google's side I guess?

Anyway, sorry to bother you. I looked around the net for answers to this, and found one person saying they fixed the problem by disabling Light Manager.. Which worked for me once! I'll post back here if I find a permanent solution. Thanks again!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] bnacl:
Is this a workaround or the permanent solution? This would cause the screen to come on every time a notification is received which I am guessing isn't desirable for most people. I am a LM Pro user and hate to abandon it unless this is the only planned solution.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] dizzwave:
bnacl, are you saying you have the weird gmail issue I'm having too? I'd be happy to hear if there are others (besides the couple others I've found by googling).

Hah.. that said, I have mine set to 5.1.1. off, screen-on, as recommended by mckoo, and it just worked (with the email that I got telling me about your reply to this thread. I checked it in the browser, and my LED turned off). But it didn't yesterday. Dang, intermittent bugs are the worst... :/
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
If you don't like wake screen, then you can disabled it but you have to enable 5.1.1 workaround.

Note that the workaround will create some expected issue such as notification duplication.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
If you are referring to the Gmail syncing problem, then it happens on my Samsung device as well sometimes.

When read Gmail in PC sometimes, it will not sync to cancel the notification on my Samsung device.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:

At the mean time, I will still be checking the post here. However it will be fading off to the Facebook page.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] bnacl:
Not exactly sure if it is the same as yours, but my issue is that Gmail doesn't work per the settings (I have it set to RED LED) and instead displays the default blue LED. If I enable the turn on screen option it works, but I don't want the screen to turn on for every notification. The 5.1.1 workaround seems to have no effect and doesn't solve the problem.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Perhaps could you please go into Light Manager > Advanced Settings > Enable Logging and enable it.

Then try simulate the Gmail problem. A log.txt file will be created in your internal storage under a folder named "LightManager".

Please send this log file to me and I will check what's wrong with it.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ljhsquall:
Light manager seems to be working partially either with Xiaomi MAX, MIUI 8 6.7.7 China developer rom or both, not sure.

The flash rate and the Led turn on time does not make any changes except for flash rate none, which cause the led always on.

Choose other timing exept for none will have the Led flash at a constant same rate regardless what I set for the flash rate and the led turn on time.

Not a major issue, but I'd prefer the led to be blinking slower that the stock flash rate.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] bnacl:
Well... now I am confused as it doesn't seem to be consistent. I enabled the logging and the GMAIL RED LED did not work. However, once I enabled the 5.1.1 workaround it DID, which previously did not work. I am going to do some additional testing. If I do reproduce it, where do I send the log?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
I am guessing that maybe this is the hardware or firmware limitation.
