I will look into it...

Hmmm... here is working fine. I will take a look tomorrow. Can you check your preferences? Have you set any sleep period?

Thanks for the feedback...

That was a main aspect for me while creating this app. There is nothing running in background (service etc). I use only broadcast receivers handling events. The only thing that consumes battery is the flashlight but it depends on the device.

Overall, you shouldn't notice any effect on your battery...

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
Version 0.31 is coming tomorrow. I hope to solve any issues before adding new features and optimize the ui.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
Version 0.31-Alpha is up...

Changelog

v0.31-Alpha:

- optimized flash toggle to run faster.

- added link to this thread at "About"

- ...still problem getting it work for Galaxy Nexus and some other devices... please report.
[Android Apps and Games] flying_dutchman:
Hi, just short feedback, didn't try 0.31yet, but between 0.3 and 0.2 I reinstalled 0.2 and all's working again....
[Android Apps and Games] wwonka69:
New version is working Perfect on my Verizon S3 running rootbox with BMS kernel.

Awesome job.

Still would like to set it to blink 1 or 2 times instead of continuously. Maybe It would be easier to increase the upper limit of the off duration.

Just my suggestions. and is the flash setting work only for the msg function or both? This doesn't seem to make a difference whether it is at 1 or 9.

Keep up the great work.
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
It is only for messages now. I will implement it for calls too, but I need to make some adjustments to the ui too.

I think I figured out how to fix the problem with galaxy nexus and some other devices so stay tuned...

I will start adding new features such as support for every kind of notifications (viber, Facebook etc...)

Cheers :)

Thanks man . It works great. Keep it up :beer:
[Android Apps and Games] raul6:
Great app! Working well so far on Nexus 4. Testing sleep mode later
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
Thank you. I am still waiting for new ideas and features.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] popouser:
Hey! Nice app. It is working great on my nexus 4. Can you add some fixed notification styles? Like heart beat or sos morsh style etc. Thanks and keep it up! Subscribed!
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
Thanks. Nice idea. I will add it to the wish list. In the next release you will be able to choose the apps which will use the flash, including viber, Facebook, what's up etc. Stay tuned...
[Android Apps and Games] popouser:
Hi! what is the difference between the normal and the alternative driver? I use normal. Is it OK? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
Alternative driver is for some devices (like galaxy nexus) which need a different code in order to open the flash. If "normal" works for you keep it. Otherwise change to the alternative. You can use the test buttons to check if the driver works for you.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] shailpancholi:
Didn't work for me I'm using galaxy ace plz help me I am looking for this app for a long time
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
Have you tried the "alternative" driver from preferences? What android version do you have?

Thanks for the feedback
[Android Apps and Games] shailpancholi:
Ya tried not working
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
Attached is a test release. I added a third driver ("Alternative 2"). Can you please test if your flash is turning on with this driver?

Thanks for the feedback!
[Android Apps and Games] shailpancholi:
Dude sorry but I changed my fone den too will try and let u knw asap
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
That is called bad luck :P.

Looking forward to your feedback...
[Android Apps and Games] Samsung Fanboy:
I just tried this app out and love it! Subscribed to the thread! Appreciate your hard work, just have one suggestion that I would like, is there a way to have the flash go off even after the message came. For example if I get a text and I'm in the shower and miss it, is there a way to have it flash as a reminder?

Sent from my V6 Supercharged Samsung Galaxy S2
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
Hey that is a great idea. I will add it to the wishlist.

Right now I am pretty busy with my exams, but i managed to make the flash work for any sms app, like Facebook, viber, what's up etc. Stay tuned for the next beta. :)

Cheers

UI is very clean and really nice. Great job!

BTW, how about translations? I can do a German translation...

Also, can you add more apps to the supported list?

Thank you

I only want to add android clock on that list. Thanks! Great Work man.

One question. When are you planning to release it to Play Store? I found it pretty stable right now...
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
Well I want to add some more features, localize it a bit and get it rock stable before posting it on Play Store.

Thanks for the support guys. You really help me.

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Sounds great. If you need some tester...
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:

[Android Apps and Games] eraser0:
if you can add an option for controling the brightness of the flash, due to the high brightness in samsung devices sometimes i feel that it is wrong
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Tested latest beta, new apps are available in settings but new events ex for Birthday notifier won't be shown with flash.

Anything I can do for hell?
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
Thanks for the feedback.

In order for the flash to work, the app needs to throw a notification. Are those apps doing so?

Sent from my spaceship...
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Yes, I got a notification, but no flash. It works fine for SMS and calls :D
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
I just tested birthday notifier and it worked as it should... :confused:

Make sure you enable the Notification Service from Accessibility Settings, Choose the Flash module driver that works for you (Standard or Alternative) and enable the the notification flash button from the main panel.

I am looking forward for your feedback.

Thanks a lot.
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Checked, changed the settings, rebooted - but finally do not work for that app.
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
Sorry my friend. I tried K-9 Mail also and it worked too. Here are my settings if you want to take a look.

I will release a new version this week with some fixes and additions. Stay tuned!!

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:

Nice tutoral. Well done! Only miss now a translation in my language :p
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Bad news, SMS won't be shown anymore. Ex. Calls, Gmail, K-@-Mail works fine, but not for SMS.

Tried some of the settings like Standard or Alternative - Alternative 2 never works at all - but no change. Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
Hmmm, here works fine. That's weird because I haven't made any changes to the sms operation. Can you please try the following and report?

Enable both. Call and notification flash.

Disable sleep period and select all the operation modes from preferences.

Choose the module driver that works for you.

Try with notification service(from the accessibility settings) on and off to receive an sms...

Thanks for the report. Can you please remind me your phone model and your android version? Have you received any force closes?

Cheers

Will try.

BTW, I've enabled sleep period for testing (Out from 22:00 - 07:00 ). Now Disabled again.

UPDATE: Looks like this was the problem. Call and SMS are shown. Crazy...
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
I fixed a small bug with sleeping periods. Some times the new values where not loaded. Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Great. Already started. Is it possible to be a proofreader for this project?
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
What is the difference :confused:?
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
If there are more translations for a string available you can select which one will finally be used. Helpfull if there are some wrong strings at first position and cannot changed.

I have this role on my other translation projects there too :)
[Android Apps and Games] nickefor:
Thanks for the app.

Is there any chance you can add support for apps like facebook messenger, foursquare, snapchat etc.

Or make the app able to read ALL the installed apps and let the user choose their preffered apps to flash?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
I just added them!! I prefer adding the applications by myself, in order to avoid bugs and crashes. In addition this way i can keep the list smaller and easier to use. You are more than welcome to suggest new supported apps here! In v2.0.1 those apps will be supported!

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] nickefor:
That's great. Thanks for the immediate response and support. I also use instagram, so if you also add it, i would be more than grateful.

Have a nice evening. Euxaristw file na sai kala.

[Android Apps and Games] nickefor:
Thanks for adding the requested apps.

Is it possible to add "flash off, when screen on" feature? Sometimes when i am holding my device and a notification arrives, the person opposite of me gets blinded because of the flash :P

It would be great to have an option to automatically disable the flash when the screen is on.

Good afternoon
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
Added to wishlist. Thanks.

This might be a problem if the app turns the screen on by itself... but we'll see...

Looks so far good. Also German translation is up to date ;)
[Android Apps and Games] cikenkari:
What is the difference between "Notification flash modes (Time based or Repetitive)"?:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
With time based you choose how many seconds you want the flash to blink. With repetitive mode you choose how many times the flash will blink.

Cheers

2.0.2 beta seems to work ok. No problems here and the features you added are very useful. Especially the blink stop on volume button press.

[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Use it on Samsung Galaxy Note 1 - till today I've used "Normal" drivers. It works, but not all the time. For calls all is well, but not for SMS and other notifications. Sometimes it works, sometime not. I've rebooted my device and then it works or not - something crazy.

Today with latest version I've tried "Alternative" driver and see how this battle ;)
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
This behavior with the normal driver is present at the latest version or on previous releases too? Because I use the same code to enable the flash on call, on sms and on other notifications. Can you check your settings for the sleeping periods and operation modes?

Thanks for the feedback...
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
I switched with latest version to "alternative" driver today to see if there are changes in that behaviour.

No Sleeping mode active and Operation mode all active exept for "Screen OFF" - so it flashs all the time ;)
[Android Apps and Games] nickefor:
Hello again. I have an idea and i thought i should ask...

Is there any possibility that you can change the "don't flash when screen on" to "don't flash when device unlocked" ?

That way, apps that turn the screen on will still be able to trigger the flash when the device is locked but not when the device in unlocked (i.e. when we're using the device).

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
Ok. Was this problem present at previous versions too?

Well that is a great idea... Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
I use always the same settings. Problems were always the same within all previous versions. Now I check 2.2 and it looks so far so good. But that was also with the old version. So I will see the next days what happens and report back, because the troubles starts after some days...
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
New 2.3-Beta version is up, only available here... After your feedback I will upload it to play store too.

Changelog:

+ removed flash when screen off option

+ added flash when phone locked option (Preferences->operation mode)

+ Added support for kik messanger

Also it would be great if we would be able to set a reminder time, so it would notify us about missed notification e.g. every 1 minute.

Sent from note, a phone like never before :D
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Please NOT. The main idea of the app is flashing for incomming notifications, beeing small and battery friendly. Or not?

If I miss the call for one hour, all the ttime I got a flash. Till I clear the notifiacation. After that my battery is empty. Bad idea ;)

For breathing notification there a many apps available.
