Incoming of All Calls

Hi, just to check whether how do I setup up the led to light up for incoming for All Calls?

Thank you!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] DJMartini:
+1!!!

I'm on AOKP ROM and my phone screen goes on and the LED is solid WHITE ... Don't like it! want it off if the screen goes on.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
It's something I might add, but you'd be surprised how many people wouldn't event read a big warning about the battery drain and then complain about the battery drain. On the s3 the app has a large note come up on the home screen about issues with the phone talking (due to a samsung talkback accessibility service bug). I still get 20 plus e-mail per day asking why it does it even though pressing on the huge button tells them exactly the same thing as I reply to in the mail!

It should work hopefully with the next release as their dev gave me some pointers.

---------- Post added at 10:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------

I've seen this a couple of times myself. Usually just uninstall and install again and reboot and it should show.

---------- Post added at 10:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------

It's coming and it'll even allow swiping away notifications to clear them as I've worked with their dev for better integration of the app than with most apps. Within a couple of hours we had both apps updated and working together nicely.

---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 PM ----------

It's not possible at the moment. That's because with stock android it switches off the notification led when the screens switches on (which happens with phone calls). The galaxy nexus and nexus 1 had the led go white while a call came in , but it wasn't something that could be overridden.

With root in a future build I'm hoping to make it possible.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fguy85:
Hi,

I have nexus 4.

With the stock rom the app worked perfect!

When I changed the rom to cm10.1 last vision the app stop to work.

Can anybody know how to fx that?

Thanks

Guy
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Chad_Petree:
Hey Andrew is it possible that you implement an option to "dismiss notifications when the notification bar is pulled to view" but a general option that affects all notifications, right now we have to set it up manually for each app :(
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Ch4rt:
At default it seems the notification light is disabled. Go to (android) Settings -> System -> Pulse notification light and enable it. I had the same problem, but now as I found the setting, im gonna try the built in system also.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Peter1856:
Is there any reason to use the root mode on the Nexus 4?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fguy85:
Thanks! now it's working
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ben_pyett:
don't use that here and all works wonderfully
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] tlr1000:
When I switched to CM10.1, my led went very dim. Works great on stock rom as well as ParanoidAndroid. Any ideas?

Sorry guys... But what are additional led?

Someone can explain it?

Thanks..

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] steviewevie:
The app looks for other lights that are on the phone that it might be able to control and use for notifications. But there isn't anything else useful on the N4, so just leave them disabled (e.g. you probable don't want it flashing the backlight or camera flash for notifications).

R: light flow lite-led control works great on nexus 4

OK... Thanks.. Maybe the flash camera is the only one..

I'm planning on adding templates into version 4 of the app where it'll be easy to apply settings across lots of different notifications.

---------- Post added at 11:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 PM ----------

Not really no. Unless you use a custom rom which some allow you to control the led when the screen is on.

---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

The camera flash doesn't work at the moment on the nexus 4. I've got a test bit of code for the galaxy nexus working (not yet built into the app) which I'm hoping may also work on the nexus 4. As steviewevie says (thanks by the way) you don't really want any of those options checked.

Not been on here for the last few days trying to get everything ready for the next release. It's nearly there.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] benrees21:
Awesome!!! Saves a bit of time. You're a great dev, very responsive. I read what you said about the warning on the S3 and about people still emailing you, sorry to hear that but I think it's one of those things you will never get away from no matter how big the warning!

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
Lol, that's true. Maybe it needs to flash in red or something on the screen or maybe I should have the notification led flash as a warning :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ben_pyett:
I know that etas aren't permitted in development sections but as this is a paid application I'm not sure of that rule is still applicable....so without seeming to be rude or pushy could you give us an estimate for the next release? Thanks

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
It's within the next week. Hopefully end of this week, early next
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] steviewevie:
Would it be possible to make the app handle multiple notifications more cleanly?

Let's say my phone already has the green led on because the phone is plugged in and fully charged. then I receive a message and the blue flashing led is triggered. What happens at the moment is a stuttering combination of the solid green led and the flashing blue one. I'd prefer it if it just showed flashing blue, since that's the most recent notification, and then when I cleared that it went back to the previous one, i.e. solid green.

Hopefully this isn't a feature that is already there or I am going to feel pretty stupid...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] steviewevie:
Answering my own question here, it looks like you *can* do what I asked via the "notification mode on charge" setting. There's also a corresponding one for when on battery power.

Doh!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] monkeying. around:
Does this app costume battery power?

Reviews aren't too good on the play store as on xda.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ben_pyett:
no it runs off solar power.....of course it does; as all application do.. ;) ....but had it been an issue I'm sure that you would have read about it within the comments above, personally haven't noticed it causing any battery issues with my setup.......but you'll need to be sensible with your configuration

sent from my HTC OneSV while I wait for an RMA on my Nexus
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] grubbster:
Yes, it will consume power, but looking at my wake locks it does not have a lot of off screen activity. This is very important to battery life.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] monkeying. around:
Lol will install and try. For some reason my nexus just recently started flashing different notification lights. Use to be predictable now its just random
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
Most of the battery drain issues relate to the s3 (usa model) as it's drivers were really bad and the app has to do a lot more work to control any work around bugs.

Glad you found the setting. I was going to post yesterday when I saw it, but didn't have a data connection why I tried to reply!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] SubyWill:
Carbon For Android, the Twitter app was just released today! Can you add it to the notifications? :D
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
I'll add it in. Hoping to release in the next couple of days.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] VivaErBetis:
Hi Andrew, I love the possibility of setting a led when bluetooth is active. Is there any possibility of have the same option for wifi?

Thanks and best regards.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
I'm planning to add it into the release after the one in a couple of days.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
Will you have a global option i.e. the values I set for notification in terms of duration and rate, I want it to be for all apps instead of doing all of them one by one
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
That's certainly on the todo list. I don't want to commit too much to one release so I'm not sure which one it will be in yet as the next release has already got a fair list of things I'm going to try and add.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Darrkman:
I've been using Light Manager and it works well.

Transparent widget needs more votes. I'm going for a clean look on my lock screen :cool:

Thank you andrewpmoore for a great application!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Diaoul:
Why does the app requires so many permissions? Personal informations and so on...

I'm not a privacy freak but when I see the list I'm a bit scared.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] edoson:
the app works good, but it seems i cant get light for 3rd party app such as facebook and whatsapp, only for the "basic" apps.am i doing something wrong?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] grubbster:
How long before this becomes available for download?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
It usually takes a few hours but depends on the Google replication across servers.

---------- Post added at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 AM ----------

Most of the approx 500 apps supported are only in the full version and not the lite version.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ryan stewart:
Ive been using the full version of this app since day 1 on the GNex and i have since installed it on the Nexus 10 and Nexus 4. Its been brilliant. Andrew has also been quite responsive (it helps if you send your issue in from the App because it sends specifications along with it).

Like I said in the review, Google should have headhunters chasing you down. I know they have plenty of offices in the UK. You should be working there, integrating this functionality into the core of android.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
I'd love to - if anyone is listening :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] VivaErBetis:
Hi Andrew,

just a thought. A friend of mine has bought a SIII Black Edition 64GB (Spain) and I recommended him to buy Light Flow.

We've tested the option advised for USA & Canada models and it seems to work better with this mobile than the standard one (colors seems to be more vivid). I think this option should be advised for non USA mobiles too, or, at least, to advice to try it once for SIII owners in order to compare and choose.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] syamilsatanick:
Great app! Can you add Slices Pro app to the list of next update? Appreciate it if you do. Thanks :thumbup:

I'm getting an issue on the nexus 4, talkback is talking when I use chrome but it's not enabled in accessibility settings. Saw the bug was noted for Samsung devices but just wondered if anyone had reported this for the N4 yet?

Having an issue with sounds. I've set a contact's SMS to use a custom tone but what I hear when a text from them comes in is the default text tone set in the system.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Hille2001:
Hello

i have an issue with full Version of Lightflow

my missed Call Light (i have selected blue and always on) is only working for few seconds ,then it goes off

all other Appz SMS Whatsapp (selected green) are working good and does not go off

in Test mode it worked well but with real Call it worked only for 2 seconds

disable and enable Light does not help

any idea?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] stephan.pieri:
I seem to be having an existing issue which I thought was fixed in 3.5.0. I get a lot of notifications of emails which I swipe to clear. I don't open them straight away as I don't have the time to read/forget about them, so I swipe and look at them later.

The issue that I'm having is that the pulse notification light still flashes even though I have no notifications. I have the Debug widget there to stop them, but I thought I'd let you know that I'm still experiencing this issue on 3.5.0.

Is there a setting I need to enable? The Enable "Clear all" option is checked if that helps, and I have the default settings (other than not pulsing when charging).

Thanks in advance for a great app.

Steph
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ryan stewart:
You have to silent the notification on the stock app and have notifications through light flow only.

---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 AM ----------

Did you check the notification shade dismissal option under each notification?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] stephan.pieri:
I can't even see that option. Under my Gmail notification section, as an example, there are the following options:

Enable Notification: Checked

Priority Inbox Only: Unchecked

Clear Notification Style: Viewed/Default

Pull Down Notification Bar: Unchecked

Enable Popup: Unchecked

Switch Screen On: Unchecked

Is that option new in 3.5.1?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ryan stewart:
Check the pull down notification bar option and it will clear the lightlfow notification when you review the notification in the notification shade.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Number R09:
You can have the notification light turn off after a period of time as well. Not that this fixes the trouble you are having, but it an option.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] stephan.pieri:
I think that's the next best thing. It sounds strange, but sometimes I like to leave a notification there and it still continue to alert me of it.

Thanks for the help everyone
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] DJMartini:
I'm having this exact same issue with TouchDown.

I have TouchDown app itself set with no sound notification, but after the 2nd or 3rd notification come in for my e-mail I get the default ROM configured sound instead of LightFlow's. I think this is a bug.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ryan stewart:
Then I think your only option is to have it dismiss timed or on opening the app. I dont think Google makes the status of the notification in the shade itself available. The dev could speak more to it but I have yet to see an app make use of it.

Even Gmail, it doesnt dismiss an email despite dismissing the notification. It will only dismiss if you view the email.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] theduderoni:
I did, and unchecked notifications from the stock messaging app. I still hear the default text tone after I've set up a custom text tone in lightflow for a contact.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Xanderwufu:
I've found a little problem with this app.

I use this app with LINE (chat application), the problem is this app has a pop up window like whatsapp too. I've set clear notification on ''when app is entered'' cause this is what I want. But somehow Lightflow reads the pop up window as app is entered and therefore clears the notification. So whenever I get a message the popup windows shows up and immediatly disregards the notification light.

So whenever I've missed the notification, there is no way to know but to turn the screen on.

I hope you'll look into this:good:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 1031Vulcan:
The app had a little disclaimer that most LG phones won't work, they're only wired for a couple colors. But every single color I've tried (just about everything in the rainbow) has worked flawlessly.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
I'll add it in.

---------- Post added at 12:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

Go into your phone settings, accessibility and make sure "enhance web accessibility" is set to "not allowed"

---------- Post added at 12:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

I'll try to add them all.

---------- Post added at 12:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 AM ----------

Make sure in the stock sms app that you've set the sound to be silent. Also make sure "alternate on monitoring" is switched off in the sms notification

---------- Post added at 12:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 AM ----------

I'm not sure. If you add the debug widget does it show it going off? or does the app still think it's on?

---------- Post added at 12:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 AM ----------

It was only added for sliding messaging as I teamed up with their developer to add support for that.

---------- Post added at 12:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 AM ----------

Yes that's a limitation on the accessibility service at the moment. The docs used to say it was possible, but I couldn't work out how to do it, looked at the source code for android and there wasn't any code in the method they stated to monitor for it. I raised a bug and instead of adding the feature in they just removed the line from the documentation - not what I'd hoped for.

I have got a way for a future build for root users to be able to have it clear on swiping away or being remotely read (for standard email etc), but I've still to get around to putting it into the app.

---------- Post added at 12:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 AM ----------

I can't think of any reason why that'd be, in the touchdown sound tab (in lightflow) if you chance the "volume method" to android based (the last option in the list) does that make any difference?

---------- Post added at 12:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 AM ----------

I'll try and make a little change for that.

---------- Post added at 12:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 AM ----------

the play store states "the LED functionality does not work on most LG phones (except the nexus 4)" :)

On a totally different note, does anyone have a pebble watch? If so, could they PM me as I'm working on adding in notification broadcasting to it and also being able to have the led on the phone show when connected to the pebble. I'm mostly there with the basics of the code, but need to test before going any further ideally. Ta
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Fr3lncr:
I've been fooling around with the purchased version of Light Flow the last few days on my Nexus 4 (rooted but running stock OS).

I've read through all the posts. Am I right in that the option to key the LED on when the screen is on wasn't rolled out in the last update (version 3.5) but that it might be coming in version 4?? Just wondering as this is a feature I really want to have. As I am also a BlackBerry user, I really rely on the notification light and have been trying to get Light Flow to work in the same way. Having it stay on all the time until I clear what is causing it helps me out a lot.

So far, I seem to have Light Flow working as I want it (except for the LED staying on when the screen is on) except for Twitter (either the Android stock app or Carbon). They show up in Light Flow so are obviously supported but nothing notifies me of new tweets (no LED, no sound, no viration, nothing). I guess this is an issue with the app and not Light Flow? I guess I'll research that a bit more.

Anyhow, really like the app. Still tweaking it a lot though. Lot of things to play around with.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Tomdarkness:
Seems to mostly work great. However, I've got one really annoying problem. Sometimes I'll still have the LED notification light pulsing for a notification that is no longer there (e.g for a new gmail when I've already dismissed the notification, text message I've already read, etc.) For example, currently I have the LED pulsing orange which is suppose to be for a calendar notification but I've already dismissed that notification.

Anyone know how to fix this?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] teh_lorax:
Add the LightFlow widget and cancel it there.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ryan stewart:
I've noticed that if you have it set to dismiss on app opening that it won't clear if you have the app open already when the notification hits.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] DarkShot666:
Currently reading through the thread to see if I can find out, but got a small issue:

I'm getting the white ghosting light. Lightflow's widget showed that it was the messaging app that last had a notification. Clearing notifications doesn't fix the thing. Rebooting doesn't fix it.

Tried to clear LF's data. Nada. Disabled the app, and re-enabled it. The light stops flashing when lightflow's disabled, but past that, nothing.

Tried to clear, disable/re-enable, uninstall and reinstall the messaging app.

Light still flashes.

Could anyone be kind enough to link to any posts in this thread or lemme know what the issue could be?

Currently running ReVolt with the bundled kernel.

Edit: Found this post with my answer. Apparently AOKP forces the LED to run and it don't play nice with LF.

Fantastic! Loved the app either way!

I seem to be getting notification sounds with Kik messenger when the screen is on even when "Sound allowed when screen on" is unchecked. I tried disabling the sound notification in Light Flow and it stopped occurring so the sound is definitely coming from Light Flow. There are no notifications enabled in Kik messenger.

Additionally, It does not seem to be picking up the notifications for Snapchat. I have the debug widget enabled and it does not appear there.
