I've been using this app for a while and I really enjoy how light it is compared to the competition.

However, I've been experiencing an incredibly annoying issue with Whatsapp. I have LED notifications in Whatsapp turned off and enabled in Light Manager. When I read or dismiss a Whatsapp notification, the light often continues to blink. It will keep blinking no matter what I do, including restarting Light Manager. The only way to stop it is to restart the phone itself. I have Light Manager running in normal mode on my Nexus 5 on Android 5.1. Is there any fix for this?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Try changing to alternating mode see if the problem is still there?

It happens only on whatsapp? What other 3rd party app are you using in Light Manager beside whatsapp and are they having the same problem?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] CoolinHL:
Thanks for the quickly reply. :)

I was hoping to avoid alternating mode because of the warnings that said it would use more battery life. I'll go ahead change it the next time I see the problem appear. This problem doesn't happen all the time, but it does come up frequently enough to be annoying.

This problem only happens with Whatsapp. The only other 3rd party apps I'm using in Light Manager are Hangouts and Gmail (do these count as third party?) and they do not experience the same problem.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
No, Hangouts and Gmail are not a 3rd party app.

Another thing you can try is to enable Show Notification Icon in Light Manager > Advanced Settings see if it can fix the problem without the need to change to alternating mode.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] CoolinHL:
Things seem to be working fine on alternating mode so far. I'll give it a few more days to make sure. It's pretty weird that the bug showed up on normal mode though.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] v00d007:
Yes, that are my experiences too over all versions I tested so far.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
By looking at the code, if the problem happens on normal mode, it should happen on alternating mode as well. I couldn't even simulate the problem myself since this problem seems to happen on LG devices only including the Nexus devices.

Anyway please let me know your finding after testing it for a few more days.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] CoolinHL:
It took a while, but I got it to happen again on alternating mode. I guess your look at the code was correct. ;)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Is enabling Show Notification Icon in Light Manager > Advanced Settings helps?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] CoolinHL:
It seems to still happen with "Show Notification Icon" enabled and in alternating mode.

The cool thing with alternating mode is that if this problem happens, it can get "fixed" if another notification comes in. The other app's notification would blink instead, and if you dismissed that app's notification, it would forget that the whatsapp notification was continually blinking before.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
I really wanted to get this bug fixed but I cannot simulate the problem on my device. Moreover it seems to happen on LG devices only and this problem not happen consistently on LG devices as well. Since your device can simulate the problem sometimes, could you help to beta test my fix?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] CoolinHL:
Yeah sure I could help. Let me know what you'd like me to do.

I'm a programmer by trade, but the stuff I do is far removed from the mobile world. Hopefully I'm still helpful. :)

Hi,

I've tested Light Manager on my rooted Xperia Z3 compact but I'm not satisfied. I've cleaned cache and have uninstalled the app, but I'm not sure, if the app is completely removed now? As I remember, there was a button to request root access after first start of app, so I imagine, that the app has made some further modifications on my phone, hasn't it? I want to be sure, that there is really no trace of the app on my phone, so that the original behaviour is restored.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Thanks for helping in testing . I have sent you a private message about this.;)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
If I'm not mistaken, Z3 compact is having Android 4.4.4 by default. From Android 4.3 onwards, root is not required anymore for Light Manager. So you should not be getting a button to request root access, Light Manager does not make further modifications on your phone as well.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Daptonic:
Hello, I have an LG G4 (H815 Euro) and Light Manager seems to work for the most part, but the LED blinks every second in both standard and alternating mode even though I have the flash rate set to None.

My G4 is rooted, so if there is anything you need me to do or pull from the device please let me know and I'll get it to you.

I've attached a copy of my backup.xml file if that helps as well.

Thanks for making an awesome app :) :good:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Try go into Light Manager > Advanced Settings > Static LED and change it to Option 2 see if it works? If not, try with Option 3.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Daptonic:
Option 2 worked :) Thanks a ton!

Hi,

I've been using Lightmanager for a long time and it has always worked great. I recently got an S6 Edge on T-mobile in the US and after upgrading to android 5.1.1 (OTA) i keep getting a blue led whenever I get a new email. Does anyone know how to disable the blue LED for new email? in the old version of android I'm sure there was a setting under the email notification screen, unfortunately that doesn't seem to exist anymore?

In light manager I have no LED notifications set for email.

Anyone else having the same issue or know how to debug this?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
I have started a thread in S6 section to discuss about this issue.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/themes-apps/light-manager-compatiblity-t3139958

Other users reported that besides Email, even the missed call and gmail LED are not working (only flash the default blue color).

All these app seems to be the system app.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] DrKillerZA:
So last week I decided to break my virginity and root/flash my S3 with a custom rom :o

So I went ahead and installed CM11 on there (and love it!). I always used Light Flow to manage my LED notifications and thought I'd give Light Manager a try as there is another application that needs this.

I have a slight problem with the battery LED. It doesn't work. In my system settings on my phone, if I disable the battery LED, then light manager just doesn't pick the battery LED up and it doesn't blink at all. If I enable the battery LED in my settings and assigns different colours to light manager then it just defaults back to the normal phone settings LED.

I want to customize this because when my phone goes into "night mode", I don't want any LEDs on when I am asleep. At the moment it always show the battery LED :crying:

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Which custom rom are you using? What Android OS version is that?

The battery LED that you mentioned is charging, charged or low battery?

What settings do you put in Light Manager > Advanced Settings > Enable Sleeping Time?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] DrKillerZA:
I am using CM11 on my Samsung I9300. This one to be precise: cm-11-20150614-NIGHTLY-i9300

It is using Android KitKat v4.4.4.

I think it might be all of those LEDs, but I only really tested the "charging" piece. I have an application called "Sound Profile" that switches my phone into night mode. I'm assuming that is enable sleeping mode when the time is right. I think if I can get to the point where I can customize the charging LED in light manager, then the "sleeping" piece will just work right away :D
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
By right, if you have disabled battery LED in the system settings, Light Manager should be able to work.

What operating mode are you using? Try using alternating mode see if it works?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] DrKillerZA:
I tested my battery issue again after this update and it works perfectly now. I have a feeling that this update fixed a possible issue because I am so sure it didn't work previously.

Thanks for a great app! :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] hd_rider:
I am on Android 5.1.1 and I am one of the ones reporting that Light Manager no longer works.

Today, though, I did something that may provide a clue to the problem. Perhaps McKoo is reading...

I just installed the latest version of Light Manager Pro on my S6 Edge. I then configured it to my preferences and rebooted the phone. As soon as the phone came up, I used my PC to send myself a text message. Now here is the important part. As soon as the text message was received, and before the alert notification took place, my LED started blinking according to the color and speed I configured in Light Manager for SMS messages (orange, every two seconds). However, as soon as the notification process alerted me to the text message (which I am assuming is a Samsung / Android process), my LED flashing reverted back to the standard blue flash every 5 seconds.

I sure hope the information above is helpful because I really like the Light Manager application. It provided the functionality that Android and Samsung forgot!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] radiofreee:
Compatible devices.

It works perfectly in my "old" Moto G 1gen and 2gen. In the list of compatible devices are not listed.

However in my Moto X 2014 does not work. It would be great to add to the list.

Thank You
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Moto G is not listed as compatible device because it has only white color LED. For Moto X, it is even worse. Normal mode and alternating mode will not work on it. You may try screen mode which uses screen to show notification alerts.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] radiofreee:
You're right. I was not thinking about the multicolor LED. For me it was enough to have notifications even with white LED.

From what I've seen, the apps running (not quite) with Moto X, take control of "charging LED" (Light Flow and Moto led for moto x) to use for notifications. But both did not make the light blinking.

It seems that for now the only way to do it properly is to "Tasker".

I read something about how to make modifications in /sys/class/leds/charging/trigger but better if I do not touch there, I do not have enough knowledge.

Thank you for your advice. Moto X has ActiveDisplay and enable Screen notifications is not the solution for me.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jproy12:
Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge user here... When using the app, and having the lock screen notifications set to hidden, emails received with the stock Samsung application shows as if the email was from Light Manager Pro, saying Light Manager Pro, then underneath, Content Hidden.

Is there a way to fix this? It seems like it's only doing it with the "stock" email app, sms and Gmail notifications work fine.

Any input would be appreciated, I'm very particular when it comes to this stuff
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Yes, for Email app in normal mode, Light Manager will re-create the notification, that's why the notification belongs to Light Manager. To fix this, you will have to use alternating mode.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] andreacos92:
Hi, I have a Samsung S4 I9505 and I use your app for 2 years in alternating mode without issues.

But with the latest builds of CM12.1 alternating mode doesn't work.. normal mode works well.

I think it's a ROM related issue, because I did a clean flash of an old CM12.1 build (early June) and alternating mode works, then I did another clean flash of the last CM12.1 build and alternating mode doesn't work.. I tried various versions of Light Manager (7.8-7.7-7.6-7.5-7.4-7.3), but no luck.

Unfortunately I don't know exactly from which build alternating mode doesn't work (I should flash one by one..), and on cmxlog.com there are only the changelogs of the latest seven builds..

Any idea? Anyone with CM12.1 can check if alternating mode works?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
I tried with latest CM12.1 and found out that testing function in alternating mode does not work. However it is working in real condition such as when missed call is received, sms is received etc. Are you having the same behavior or it is totally not working?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] andreacos92:
Hi, you're right. I didn't notice this because after every clean flash I checked the led functionality putting the phone on charge, and charging led seems to be the only one that doesn't work neither in real condition.

I set a steady red led when charging, but it doesn't work in alternting mode. Normal mode is ok.

If I disable the led in the system settings, led will not work at all.

Also, when I receive two different notifications, e.g. WhatsApp (green led) and Messenger (blue led), the led doesn't blink in the sequence green-blue-green-blue-ecc with the same time interval between every blink as it used to work until a month ago.. sometimes it blinks green or blue twice in a row and without the time interval I set (4 seconds).

But this is a minor issue and it doesn't bother me.

Any idea for the charging led issue?

Thanks for your help!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
I managed to simulate the problem. It will be fixed on the next release. Thanks for reporting the bug.

For the twice blinking in a row issue, it is a known issue on Android 5.1 and I think I can't fix it. I might be able to fix it on Android M when new Android API is introduced. Let see...;)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] andreacos92:
Great news! Thank you really much!

Can we in this thread suggest/request new features too? :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] amelie_m:
Phone signal network connection area

Please make an update of your light manager”s app and make the led notification blinking even if the phone has network connection signal, not only for no signal. I love my phone (Huawei p8 lite) and I would like to see sometimes the led blinking when the phone is on network connection area. Thank you! I am waiting for your response.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Please go into Light Manager > No Signal > Invert and enable it. It will generate LED notification when signal exists.

Are you going to solve the problem with the defualt app of the Galaxy S6 that aren't working now with Light Manager? Thanks great app!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
A user reported that the problem is solved after you have disabled notification access for Light Manager. Perhaps you can try with that. I am still looking into a better solution.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:

I updated Light Manager to the last version and tried the workaround you suggested but it isn't working for me.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ljhsquall:
I updated my phone to 5.1.1 and the SMS/Messaging notification is missing in Light manager and whenever I received an SMS, I get a weird toast error message.

Hangout is still there and works fine for SMS but I like to use the phone native system messaging app for SMS. I try adding additional app but can't found the messaging app. Xperia Z3 on 5.1.1 KR
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Could you please go into Light Manager > Advanced Settings > Enable Logging and enable it.

Then send yourself a SMS, a log.txt file will be generated in your internal storage under a folder named "LightManager".

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

Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ljhsquall:
Strange, now the SMS notification option suddenly appear in Light manager, maybe after few reboots. LED also works, but I am still getting an weird toast message when I received an SMS.

Not sure if this is now coming from Light Manager, I'll just attached the log.txt anyway.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] spawn4ever:
Hey,

i have problems with your app since i have my galaxy s6...

for my note 2 it works perfect!

okay.. this is my problem:

stock LED modifications dont work anymore with galaxy s6 - android 5.1.1..

stock LED for missed calls is BLUE with a 3 second interval... (for exampe)..

in light manager i change it to green with 1 second interval.. if i start it with "test" button it works fine..

but if i get a missed call the stock color and interval is set by phone...

for custom apps it works perfect.. only problem is that it is not possible to change stock color / interval..

do you have a idea? or do you can fix this?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
I can't get any data related to SMS LED notification from the log.txt file.

Anyway the SMS LED notification is working now? Just that you get a weird toast message too?

What was the error message?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Currently Light Manager is not working properly on Touchwiz 5.1.1 for missed call LED notification. I will look into the problem.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ljhsquall:
The LED notification seems fine now. I manage to capture a screenshot and attached. Please check if is related. maybe it's not I am not sure.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Thanks for the screenshot. Yes, it is generated by Light Manager app.

I guess I managed to identify the problem. It will be fixed on the next release.

Thanks for reporting the bug.

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

I really like the feature of turning off any active led when the phone gets unlocked. Is it possible to extend this (maybe with a sub option) to turning off the led when the screen is turned on by the user (even if the phone isn't locked).

Cheers for a great app.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
It is possible but it is not practical because there are apps that might turn on screen when notification is received.

It will cancel off the LED as if no notification is received. I afraid it will create more problem to certain user.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Digdis:
I understand. However, isn't there a way to distinguish between the case where an app turns the screen on and and the case the user does so?

Anyway, this is no biggie. I thought it might be be useful in the case you configure the screen to turn off after a short time (to save battery), but set the lock screen timeout to a longer period (so you won't need to apply the screen unlock procedure each time).

Cheers for a great app nevertheless.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] namklis:
Hi, I'm having a problem (lg G3)

Sometimes the LED doesnot come on at all for any notification.

Is testing function in Light Manager working?

What Android OS version are you using? If you are using Android 5.0, make sure you are not in None or Priority or Silent mode as notification LED is shut off totally during these modes.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ljhsquall:
Hi, I am report another issue seemingly for the new Xperia C4 phone.

Android 5.0 Sony Stock no root. Notification access given and is on Sound mode. There is sound notification but no led light when using Light manager. Tried with the testing function for different colors also not working.

Can confirm if it is not working in Xperia C4?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Have you disabled stamina mode?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ljhsquall:
Stamina mode is enabled, but Extended Stamina mode is not. And Ultra Stamina mode is also disabled.

'Normal' Stamina mode should not disable LED as Sony already address this before LP, plus I have Xperia Z3 with stamina mode enabled since day 1 and LED is working with light manager too.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
When you pull down the notification bar, did you see notification by Light Manager saying "Running in Background"? Make sure you did not disable it in App Notification Info.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ljhsquall:
It does not have notification saying "Running in Background" App Notification Info do you mean android app notifications? It is allowed for notification. For the Light Manager settings, there is also an app notification and Icon and I have selected do not show app notification and icon. Does this affect it in anyway? From my understanding, in android settings I have allow the notifications, just that Light manager settings I have it "hide" the notification and icon as I have one too many persistent notification if I have it shows all the time.

On Xperia Z3 is fine but can't figure out why not working for Xperia C4. I do not mind changing the setting to show notification and info, will test it for few days see it helps.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Thanks for the explanation. All your settings looks OK.

However so far no Xperia C4 users reported to me the compatibility with Light Manager yet.

From your description, seems like it is not compatible.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ljhsquall:
Thanks for the clarification. Hopefully it will work in the future. Or if I manage to get it working one day, I will inform too.
