[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] _Behemoth:
Thanks but these didn't help. I have the paid version of the app. Uninstalled.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
If they don't work at all it's usually the "pulse notification light" option which is off or reporting it's on but it's not. A toggle off and on usually helps. (that setting is in phone settings, sounds and notifications)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] _Behemoth:
I am on SimpleAOSP 5.0.2 and have no such option. Only a 'Notification Light' on/off option. And its on.

I am using Light Manager free for now and it works. Always. I really liked Lightflow until Lollipop. I see others also with the same problem on the playstore reviews for your app. Kindly fix this.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
I 'd be interested in getting to the bottom of this, if you email me I'd be happy to try and diagnose the issue.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] _Behemoth:
I'd be happy to help. Tell me what info you need.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] eighteesix:
my lightflow app works great in activating the Messenger app notification but no matter what i do it will not clear it automatically. ive tried everything suggested here.

edit-- i noticed that when hangouts receives an sms, light flow shows one notification with one message. however when Messenger receives an sms, light flow shows the same notifaction with a doubled (repeated) message in the active notifications. bizarre
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
I've a fix coming for this in the next release. If you use the "sms" option instead that should clear ok though.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] abhyudayasrinet:
It's a wonderful app! :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] paul c:
Would that be, because you are the developer?

I have an Mi 4C and it can display the rgb colours but when I try orange, it flashes yellow. Do you know why this is?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
I'm guessing so. I'm just glad that the workaround that I've tried works. It should be coming in approx one week once translations are done and beta testing complete.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Copperwatt:
Glad to hear that. Any idea what's up with the Google Voicemail thing?

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] junkbots:
Tangential question, but do people feel like this app is more or less required for the Nexus 4? I can't make the stock LED light up for anything.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] DJMartini:
I wouldn't say its 'required' ... Depends on what you prefer. Personally I think it's crap that Google would release their Nexus 4 without LED functionality in stock ROM, but that's what rooting, flashing other ROMs and apps (like this) are for.

LED Lite is a great app to start just to see if you want to use it, but honestly it's worth the $ for this app. Especially now that the Dev owns a N4 and is very active/responsive on here as well through contacting him. Hopefully we'll have an update soon which he's working on.

I am running AOKP and didn't bother setting up the LED Notifications within the ROM because I've been running this app since my old G2. The nice thing is you can backup all your settings and when you re-flash you can just restore them again.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] galaxys:
LightFlow Lite is great for our N4 and glad the developer also has a N4!!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] PhilipL:
Hi

By default there is basic use of the LED in the stock ROM, mine pulsed for new SMS and Emails. The trouble is the default pulse is ridiculously slow, so many seconds lapsed between each blink you have to stare at the phone for quite a while to be sure the LED is or isn't lighting, so quicker to just pick up the phone and press the power button.

Lite Flow makes it possible to get a faster pulse, and to select specific colours and flash rates depending on the notification type.

I agree that by default Google haven't made much effort in making the LED useful, but it is used by the stock rom.

Regards

Phil
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] DJMartini:
Oops ya you're right. Forgot about 'pulse notification' option. I remember turning it on and it taking forever for the LED to work so I go upset.

Thanks for the refresher =)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] miicho85:
I wonder if this app affects batter? I heard someone in this thread say something about crazy wakelocks great app tho:laugh::good:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] benrees21:
Can I request a feature? I want the LED to flash multiple colours for any notification. So any time you get a notification it cycles through every colour it can do. You could also set the speed it cycles through the colours. Please, if you could do that I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks. :)

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Julant80:
While I definitely agree with you that Google should have better native notifications by now, I'd just like to point out that this was exactly how the N1 was released. There were several apps created out of necessity/demand, including Trackball Alert by lilHermit and, of course, Light Flow.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] galaxys:
Yep, I remember those days with the track ball disco lights show. :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] luke_c94:
Any chance of the Falcon Pro twitter app support? You have the widget supported but not the app :(
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Apfelschale:
Overall really great app, only thing that bugs me is that if I get an email or notification of any kind and mark is a read or delete in the android notification bar (hence without directly going into the specific app) and turn off the screen the led keeps blinking until I open the specific app.

Anyone getting notifications to work for Gmail 4.2.1?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
Technically this is possible, but I've tried it in development builds and it's a bit of a battery killer as the phone can't be in a deep sleep state when changing color as code needs to be run to change it. I've always refrained from putting in the option in as I think it hits the battery too hard.

++1 myself on this one. Of any feature it's what I'd like to add the most. Vote here for the data to be available in android to do this: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23106

Their docs used to say it was possible, so I raised an issue after looking at the android source to say it wasn't. Instead of adding the feature they changed to docs to remove it saying it was possible - doh!, not the outcome I wanted.

At the moment the only possibility regarding this is if I added the permission to read the log files generated by android, parse that and identify clearing from there. It's only possible for root users though. I'm considering it at the moment.

I use them myself, the only issue I'm aware of is priority inbox doesn't work at the moment in gmail 4.2.1
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] VivaErBetis:
I've tested the lite version in my Nexus 4 for a little time, and mainly it works, but not as well as I want :( ...some missing notifications, weird LED colors,... but I guess it will be fixed with the time. So, as it's a very useful app I've just bought the PRO version in order to help further development.

Thanks for the app andrewpmoore!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
If you find a particular type of notification that is missing let me know so I can track it down. I'm guessing the odd colors comes down to the upcoming fix.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] VivaErBetis:
Thank you. I'll try to find a pattern because it seems to happen ramdomly.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Chochiwpg:
Just downloaded the Lite version yesterday to give it a try and I LOVE this app. I will test it out for a week or so just to get all the different notifications that I have setup and then purchase the full version. Thank you for this app.

Same problem here, the stock LED does NOT work anymore, even after a factory reset.

Just making sure we have ruled out everything, is your pulse notification light checked in the display settings?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] vipeezy:
Hi Andrew - Quick question for you. Is lightflow able to clear the notification led when the screen is off, if a notification like gmail or google plus is cleared from the web/desktop? This would be handy. :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Pheno.menon:
How do I get it to display a multicolored glow like the stock one?

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Androidttraction:
Hi, I am not the developer of the app but a user :), but I can confirm the notification light turns of when you read a message from say a tablet/computer. Happens with me whenever I read my gmail messages from the tablet, the notification turns of earlier then the time I have it configured to turn off, which is to turn off after 10 minutes.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Chad_Petree:
Do you have to have root for this to work properly? i have it on my galaxy nexus and its so annoying the notifications , the prorgrma keeps the led blinking even after i checked the notifications :crying:, i have to manually open the light flow app for the notifications to stop, maybe its because i dont have root?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] dbareis:
I'm hoping that when you say remap the colors this would include not just the RGB value for the color but the "name" of the colour itself. Hopefully the ability to add colors as well (removing the "Custom Colour" option altogether).
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] PhillyBlunt474:
Everytime I install this app it locks up and does not respond. I can click wait a million times and it never comes back to life. Sometimes the screen goes black and the phone becomes unresponsive for a long period of time. Installed and Uninstalled many times. Unlocked and rooted phone.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
It's possible for gmail (and already does this). I'm not sure if google plus publishes the appropriate data to do it though.

---------- Post added at 10:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 AM ----------

I'm guessing you have root access? I've been working on a fix for this issue for the next release. You may find re-rooting and reinstalling superSu could help.

---------- Post added at 10:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 AM ----------

No, root isn't required on any of the nexus line (as they generally work correctly)

Try switching off and back on lightflow in the accessibility settings. Also make sure you are not swiping notifications to clear them (or if you are, enable the pull down notification bar to clear option)

Any time frame for the release of the next version please? I've rooted the phone and really don't want to root it again for LF (simply because restoring appdata from backup doesn't work anymore - at least not for all apps)!

Yes i swipe notifications a lot of times (35% of the times maybe) , what do you mean by pulling down the ntification bar to clear option? you mean dismising all the notifications with this button on the notification bar?:confused:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] isangelous:
In the notification options you can select "pull down notification bar" to clear the notification. This means that lightflow will stop the notification led, sound, etc when you look at the notifications - though it will still be in the list until you swipe it away.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
Approx 1 week all being well.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] phositadc:
As far as I can tell it has no impact whatsoever on battery life.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Leong428:
Looking forward to it!

Another issue I have noticed recently is that LightFlow seems to be having trouble autostarting itself dring boot up.

It doesn't work untill I manually launch the app once after I restart the device!

Is there a fix for this?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] resrevni:
Is no one else using the charging notification? It doesn't work for me. All I want is a pulsing red LED + single notification sound when I plug it in. It works in test mode when I turn the screen off with the dialog open but it doesn't work otherwise.

Edit:

I turned on the charged notification and it seems that the app is having trouble differentiating between the charging and charged states. I am rooted, but not running a custom ROM. The debug widget confirms that CHARGED is on instead of CHARGING.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] dbareis:
Phone Signal notifications don't work either :(
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Both work just fine for me. For charged/charging, make sure you've set the charged threshold to higher than your current charge. I have a single vibrate with pulsing turquoise when charging and two vibrations with always on green when charged.

I just want to say to the dev of this app Andrew thanks for a great app. At first all of the options seem a little confusing, but after a few days of using it, it all makes sense now and works almost perfectly. This is now on my list of must-haves.

The extra sound control and screen-on functions are very, very welcome. This is a lot of base customization available at our fingertips and doesn't even require root. Amazing.

Thanks again for this great app and keep up the good work.

Found another problem ... When charging LED stays on like it's supposed to using Priority than another notification comes in changes LED (like it's supposed too) than clear that notification it doesn't go back to the 'charging' LED. LED just stays off.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] galaxys:
Mine works fine on the Lite version. I cleared an gmail notify, turned off the phone and the charge LED was blinking.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] VivaErBetis:
Curiously I have different issues related to battery notifications:

- I've set a blinking red led when battery is low and, if during this notification I receive another notification, for instance, an email (blinking orange), the notifications alternate as expected, but the color of the email notification is incorrect (in this case becomes green instead of orange).

- Another case; I've set a blinking green led when battery is fully charged and, if during this notification I receive another notification, for instance, an email (blinking orange), the notifications alternate as expected, but the color of the email notification is incorrect too (in this case becomes red instead of orange).

I haven't set priorities for any notification.

Another issue related to email notifications; I'm using hotmail with the built-in message app of android but I use it too with my laptop using live.com web access, at the same time.

When a message is received I receive the led notification in android (blinking orange) but if I delete the message from my laptop the android notification about new mail dissapears automatically as well ss the email (push sync)... but the led remains blinking until I enter in the messages app...

I guess it's something more or less like swiping notifications so I don't know if it can be handled by light flow if nothing is triggered when an android email notification is auto-dismssed in this way...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Chad_Petree:
Where is this setting? the most similar i can see is "Enable clear alla: switch off notifications when the user presses the clear button in the notification bar" :confused:

---------- Post added at 11:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------

The same thing happens to me! so if i don't open it misbehaves, the leds is stucked or the notifications never go away until i open the app :crying:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Lucke:
wondering if/when Handcent was going to gain light flow integration. it already works with the stock LED notifications, but doesn't seem to work at all with light flow.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Did you try -> Lite Flow -> Notifications -> SMS | Under the Notification tab check "Alternate on monitoring" and "Alternate off monitoring?"
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Raikyure:
For me it turns on the LED at random times. I set only turned on notifications for email, texts and missed calls. Sometimes the it lights blue (email color) when I don't have any new emails.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
This depends on the charged threshold set in the charged notification as you can set it to what you want. The default is 90% which was taken from what the nexus one used to have as it's color change of it's notification.

---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

It would only be possible with rooted phones. I've been doing a little playing with control on a rooted phone for controlling the next. I've managed most things, but not sorted out flash rates yet.

Android switches off the notification led when the screen is on, that's why daydream stops it. I may add a daydream screen for the app though in the future.

---------- Post added at 11:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------

Is that when using the "app entered" method of clearing the other apps notification?

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

Check the debug widget and see if it shows the correct notification. If it does you probably have the same issue with yours as mine where the colors can get mixed up when trying to cycle. The next release provides a workaround for that.

For the 2nd issue I wish there was something I could do. Android provides a way to know when a notification arrives, but not when it's cleared. See the page here: http://www.folioflow.com/ff/page/website/lightflow/pageId/2146

Note in the footer of the page there's a link to vote for the new feature in android to allow this.

---------- Post added at 12:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 PM ----------

I find it works, I get it a lot where I work (in my real job!) in one area of the building. Have you got any of the flight mode or other settings checked in the no signal notification?

---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------

Are you rooted? There could be hanging issues with the current release if rooted that cause it not to start. (hopefully improved in the next release)

As for the option, it's in each notification so you can choose which will auto clear when you pull down the notification bar.

---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 PM ----------

Try add the lightflow debug widget to a homescreen to confirm it's email. If it is (and you've not read it on another device to clear it) then let me know.

---------- Post added at 12:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ----------

With handcent you've two options.

Firstly if you don't set handcent to be the default SMS app it should work fully as long as you set "alternate off monitoring" on.

If you want to set handcent as the default sms app then unfortunately you won't be able to have contact specific notifications as handcent breaks the standard android notifications we pick up on. If using this setting make sure "alternate on monitoring" and "alternate off monitoring" are both checked.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] VivaErBetis:
@andrewpmoore, first of all, thanks for your answers:

You're true. It happens when there are more than one notifications at same time with different LED colors. I've done a quick test:

- set blink orange for Gmail.

- set blink red for low batt.

- batt low reached. LED becomes blink red as expected.

- receive a Gmail message. LED alternate between red, orange (few times) and

green

(most times)...

- the debug widget shows the correct notifications (screenshot below), but not in the order them happened (I don't know if it's important or not).

- when one of the notifications is dismissed the LED recovers normality.

BTW: I usually receive notifications from different email sources but I didn't noticed it earlier because I use the same colour for all message related notifications and, in this case, it works.

I've just voted for the two androids bugs you stated in that page. Hope they fix it.

Thanks and best regards.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Lucke:
i didn't see this in any options (but maybe i didn't look hard enough), is there any way to set "profiles" so that i don't use the LED notifications for my work email between 8am-5pm? i don't really need my phone telling me i've got email while i'm sitting in front of my computer looking at my inbox :p

if this is not currently a feature, would something like this be difficult to incorporate into a future update?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] gotzaDroid:
There is, at least in the full version. I think it's called sleep mode, but it shuts off the led during what ever time you want.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Lucke:
i see that, but it's not granular. i want my notifications for everything except my work email (while i'm at work). sleep settings would be great if they were able to be incorporated per app, instead of a blanket :-\
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
It's not possible at the moment and it's not easy to add, but it's certainly planned. The idea will be to set up all your settings multiple times for different profiles (I need to come up with templates and/or copy options for this). Then have an easy way to switch them as in other profile apps.

I've already worked with the developer of llama to hook into their profiles (but not written all the other code for management yet) and would plan to add similar for tasker and also some form of profile switch settings in the app (such as manual/time based/phone state based) etc.
