I guess in your phone settings, security, notification access that you've got lightflow checked?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
I'm on 4.2.2... so is the swipe away ability only for 4.3?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
Yes it's only 4.3
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] luismg:
I have exact this problem

http://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQues..._flow_led_in_hangouts_if_message_is/?sort=new

if I read a hangout on the desktop the notification led starts blinking but if I read the hangout on the computer the notificacion icon goes away (sync works) but the led keeps flashing forever.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
Things to check for this to work:

Must be on light flow 3.9.0 or above

Must be on android 4.3 upwards

Must have notification access enabled for lightflow (phone settings, security, notification access, check the light flow box)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] luismg:
All is fine except the android version, I am on 4.2.2 CM 10.1.2
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
Maybe time to upgrade to CM 10.2 :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
[MENTION=220547]andrewpmoore[/MENTION] been playing around with a 4.3 build now, and I'm glad the swiping stuff works!

Do you recommend checking the "Reduce Wake" option or not? If I check it, there's a persistent notification in the notification drawer. How would I get rid of that?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
You should be ok to check reduced wake locks on the nexus 4.if you hit problems of leds not changing for a while when you think they should then switch it back on.

As for the persistent icon, switch off "run in foreground".

There's a slightly higher chance of the app missing a notification if android kills the app while cleaning memory and a new notification comes back in before it restarts.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] VivaErBetis:
That something that I noticed. I've always turned "run in foreground" option off, but since Lightflow uses notification service instead of accessibility, when android kills Lightflow it's not automatically restarted so I lost several notifications (until I manually restarted it).

So now "run in foreground" option needs to be on...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
Thanks, I didn't know that. From the next release of android it looks like that notification will have to exist regardless unless they change the api for accessing the led.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] VivaErBetis:
I'm glad you know what happens, but I think I've explained myself badly (English isn't my native language).

When Lightflow is killed it's restarted, regardless of running in background or foreground, but it just don't work. I said that now the option run in foreground is a must have because you can know if Lightflow is running looking at the icon.

I've done a little test manually killing Lightflow using OS Monitor app. Firstly we have Lightflow running in foreground (notice the icon in the left upper side):

Just killed it and wait to see it automatically restarted. And it's restarted but notice that there is no icon now:

And in this situation Lightflow is running but not working, until I entered in the app or use the widget (and it show the icon again).

Thanks and best regards.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Stuartglossop:
So run in the foreground?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] VivaErBetis:
Seems to run in foreground but restarted in a "strange way" and it doesn't work until I enter in Lightflow app and it's really restarted in foreground again.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Stuartglossop:
Surely the developer would know?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Chochiwpg:
I setup Hangouts app to use a blue notification LED with Lightflow. I am getting my Hangouts notifications and my phone will vibrate but the blue LED won't blink for some reason. Not sure why.

Lightflow is working because Gmail notifications are coming in and SMS messages as well and the light is blinking. But for some reason Hangouts isn't. Ideas?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] RohanM:
Make sure you have the latest version. Android 4.3 with old light flow = hangouts not giving any led. :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Chochiwpg:
I have the latest version 3.9.3. Downloaded straight from the Play Store yesterday. Running android 4.3 Factory Image, no root. Notification light won't work for hangouts no matter what colour I select. Sms, email works without issue though.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] VivaErBetis:
[MENTION=220547]andrewpmoore[/MENTION], I hate to quote myself but I've found this article about a bug in android 4.3 that may be related to the problem I reported:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...cause-some-games-and-apps-to-be-eerily-quiet/

Please take a look to it. So, if you are using play() method of the SoundPool class to play this sound in a loop you should use another method.

Thanks and best regards.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] modulecable51:
I had the exact same issue.

Go to phone settings, security, notification access and make sure you have lightflow checked.

Ah, it wasn't checked for me, I didn't even know about that option. Thanks. It's working now.

So Gmail doesn't work with swiping away still right?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
Yes

, swiping away gmail notifications should work. It's done in a totally different way to on other notification types, but it should work.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] kwerdenker:
If possible, could you please include support for Google Keep reminders in the next release of Light Flow?

Does Lightflow always prioritise Gmail's Primary inbox over other notifications?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] keyra74:
oh my god, i searched for hours

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] TehFonz:
For some reason the Pulse Notification Light is not working for me.

There are 3 different settings I am unsure about for my JB 4.3 Device:

Settings > Security > Notification access > Lightflow is TICKED

Settings > Accessibility > Lightflow is OFF

Settings > Disaply > Pulse Notification light is DISABLED ENABLED <<-- Restarted - now working. Still not sure on What'sApp though.

I would also like to point out that sound and vibration works for all apps except WhatsApp. The Pulse Notification Light does not work for any notification for any app.

Are these the right settings? For some reason Lightflow cannot control the LED

I have root access & have restarted the phone a number of times. Cannot find the solution to this anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] kwerdenker:
The "Pulse Notification light" option needs to be enabled, otherwise it won't work.

How can i separate volume level between those two?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] TehFonz:
Thanks for the reply. Got it working. So derpy.

From what I understand Google combined Ringer Volume and Notification Volume in ICS and is still part of JB 4.3. So, I think they are inexorably linked.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] lazer155:
Does anyone know if light flow may cause problems with anti-theft apps like PhoneLocator Pro? I ask because that particular app allows you to control the device it is installed on through SMS messages from another device in the event that you lose it so you can find it again. It watches for the control commands by searching SMS messages that come into the device. Could light flow accidently disrupt that some how?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
It shouldn't affect that. Lightflow doesn't have a very high sms priority so their app should get things first and we don't suppress the messages being broadcast to other apps (unlike things like handcent)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] lazer155:
Great thanks! I'll buy it and give it a try. :) The app developer did specifically mention how handcent does that and to avoid using it. I wadnt sure if light flow did the same thing.

Do I have to turn off the phone app's vibrate on ring setting to prevent LF from causing double notifications for phone calls?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
If using lightflow vibration you'll need to switch off the default one (but you can just use the standard stock vibration if you are happy with that )
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Evo_Shift:
With Handcent should both alternate monitor methods be checked? I do not have handcent set to be the default messaging app. I just turn notifications in the stock app off.

I ask because in testing the light didn't turn on once when just "alternate on monitoring" was checked, which is what I have seen you mention more than once should be checked for Handcent. That only happened once though. About 10 tests later it has worked properly. Is there any reason to not have both checked?

Anyone using Hullomail with Lightflow? I don't ever get a notification when I have a message left for me! Should I turn off Hullomails push notifications?

Problems With Paid Version

I have a Nexus 4, never rooted, running stock OTA 4.3. I have 3 Apps that I need LED Notifications from; Gmail (Priority Inbox); Skype (IM); and Sliding Messaging (SMS). Please note that all 3 have Native support for LED Notification, and all three were working properly on my phone. However, I purchased the full version of Lightflow so I could have more control for these 3 Apps, as well as some/more control of the LED for other Apps.

After Installing Lightflow (and carefully following all the steps for Nexus 4 on the website FAQS, the following occurred:

- All three Notifications were enabled (SMS, Gmail Priority, and Skype SMS). All three activated the LED using the Lightflow Test for the respective notification

- Skype IM worked under the control of Lightflow, allowing me to change colors. IMs to Skype properly lit the LED.

- Both Gmail Priority Inbox & Sliding Messaging (SMS) STOPPED receiving LED Notification completely (again, the Test DOES work). Their notification settings in Lightflow are identical to the settings for Skype(IM), which DOES work properly.

- The only way to get back LED Notifications (Native) for Gmail and Sliding Messaging, is to clear cache/data, force stop, and uninstall Lightflow.

- I have repeated the above steps several times, each time the result is the same.

I only purchased Lightflow yesterday, and dearly want it to work. I am willing to try ANY troubleshooting. Please Advise.

TIA!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
[MENTION=220547]andrewpmoore[/MENTION] I haven't done extensive testing, but I noticed sometimes the Gmail notification does not go away after swiping. I have 2 gmail accounts where only 1 is setup with Light Flow (for Priority Inbox). Even after swiping both Gmail notifications away, sometimes the light continues to blink. Sometimes it stops. I'm not sure what's going on here. Lemme know how I can help you debug this.

I've noticed that BetterBatteryStats shows Light flow always at the top of the Alarms list, sometimes with counts in the thousands. Not sure if this is a false alarm (he he) or nothing to worry about. Also not sure if this is even hitting my battery. Running the Pro version on Purity.

running LUX and light flow no issues, although on AOKP, do maybe an issue specifically with CM, check that CM's own LED settings aren't enabled

I found the dark theme setting in the latest version, but still can't read the debug widget as its still light grey on white.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Can you offer a dark version of the widget like before? I guess my issue is the white one is not very clear. The other option is to make the white one a bit more contrast-y? Black text perhaps? I prefer light themes anyway because they're cleaner, so if you can clean up that widget, it'd be great. The clear notifications and e-mail log buttons are also not very clear.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Tillsats:
Having crazy wakelocks on Z1, 4.2.2. That's why I have requested Tasker plugin for enabling / disabling lightflow completely. I e having it enabled when in dock is fine since wakelocks is irrelevant when charging. Disabling when not charging, eliminating wakelocks.

I hope it will be implemented.

Is there a way to get light flow to display notification lights for the stock clock/alarm app? I'd like to be able to choose led colors for when alarms I have set go off.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] washburne:
I don't think I'm having wakelocks (I don't have BetterBatteryStats installed right now) but LightFlow's consistently showing at the top of my battery usage stats (>50%) for a couple of days now, after an update I think, even though I have disabled the app (unchecked Enable LightFlow under LightFlow settings). I've never even seen it on the list before, and battery life has taken a big hit. I'm on stock 4.3.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ben_pyett:
very strange, no such problems here - not that that helps you. I'd be tempted to un-install and then re-install the application and then monitor. Try running it on default base setup before you personalize it.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Chochiwpg:
I am using Light Flow Lite and have recently started also using the BBM app for Android. In the settings of the BBM app it has the option to receive a notification LED and you can choose the colour. I have done so but when I receive notifications through BBM the LED does not work. Light Flow is in control of the LED notifications on my phone, but since I am using the Lite version I don't have an option for BBM in the Light Flow notification settings.

Is the only fix for this to purchase the full version of the app? Or is there another way to get the LED to work for BBM? Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] washburne:
Yes, I re-installed it and I've had it running for a couple of hours now. Seems to be OK, but I guess I should wait a bit longer. It's a little strange, as I only had the SMS, Missed Call and Charged Battery indicators enabled earlier...

Ok, so I want to use the intent together with Tasker to turn off all notifications when no longer charging and turn all on when charging. I am using the turn all off intent when no longer charging but which intent do I use for turning all notifications on? I have tried to use the same intent as for off but exchanging off with on but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

BR
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Xoib:
Use the one used by the Light Flow widget ;) You can easily find it by observing the log when you click on it.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Tillsats:
But that is for sleep mode right? I want the turn all notifications on intent. I can only find turn all off intent for Tasker.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Xoib:
Yes but when you click again on this widget it switch back on the notifications. It's a On/Off widget, not only a Off widget.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Tillsats:
OK, I don't quite follow you. I am using com.rageconsulting.android.lightflow.SWITCH_OFF_ALL_NOTIFICATIONS for Tasker now. What is the equivalent for turning on all notifications. I don't want to toggle sleep mode. That's a different intent for Tasker.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Xoib:
I feel the same.

Let me summarize and tell me if it's that you are looking for :

Sleep off = on all notifications

Sleep on = off all notifications

So my theory is that you can spy which intent the On/Off sleep widget is using so you can use the one for sleep off to turn on all notifications in your tasker action.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
You'd want to enable sleep mode really via tasker as switching all off is like pressing the "clear" button for notificfations which means they won't come back. Sleep will suspend them and then switching sleep off would resume them
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Xoib:
That's what I was trying to explain :good:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Tillsats:
Ok, so tried this but still getting crazy wakelocks according to wake lock detector. The only way for me is to manually enable and disable Lightflow. Could you implement an intent for that for Tasker? So I can enable Lightflow when charging and possibly when on home wifi and disable in all other contexts. Please consider it. Thanks for a great app.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Zeebz:
So Lightflow has been awesome for me ever since I got my N4 a few months ago. I recently encountered an issue after the most recent update, first time I've had any problems with LF. After I updated recently, the notification light will work at random. It'll blink when I get most of my texts, but sometimes I'll get a text and the light won't blink for some reason and I'll wake my phone to see there is a text. It doesn't happen too often, probably 4-8 times a day, which isn't much because in a day I probably get anywhere from 100-200 texts.

Any ideas? I'm running completely stock 4.3

Edit: I've rebooted, uninstalled and re-installed the app and it still does it. I have LF checked in the Enable section.
