Maybe this happened to someone else. Sometimes when I get a notification, my Led lights up in many colors till it flash in the right one. It doesn't happen so often but it's pretty weird when it does.

For example, I have set GMail notifications to white color. Sometimes when an email comes in, the led flashes in random colors, red, blue, green, white in a pretty fast motion and after that it goes white like its set. Nothing big, just annoying.

I'm on a Nexus 5, stock 4.4.2.

Thanks!

Sometimes when I get a text through hangouts and the screen is off, my led will flash white very briefly just once. My hangout color of choice is blue.

Try disabling the Nexus 5 LED reset option.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] EddyOS:
I've never had a single issue with LF, on my old N4 and my N5 since I bought it last year. Let me qualify this by saying I only use it for the LED (not for sound config) and I do not use any other settings bar the LED colour
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] kolyan:
Will do thanks.

App has SO many options and workarounds in settings and yet its still buggy with N5. What's up with N5 led?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Wdustin1:
Well all I want it to do is flash green for text message and blue for email but it doesn't work, I have to same question as above what is everybody that has this working good using for settings? I am using 8sms as my messaging app, purity ROM with trinity kernel.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Wdustin1:
OK! After messing with it for 2 days, I got it! My problem was you have to keep run in foreground on. Which was something I never did even on my gnex. Left all others stock and even was able to setup different colors for different people. So happy to so another color than just white!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] jeffreii:
That shouldn't be necessary. I've never used Run in Foreground and I'm having no issues.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
I'm guessing it depends on what other apps you have running. I know some people need it to be on. I don't myself, but without it being in the foreground, Android will kill it off and restart it more frequently (as it dkes with all background services). Putting it in the foreground, greatly reduces the changes of it doing that.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] k.bergmann2:
i know that it is possible to have a specific colour flashing once a whatsapp message from a specific persone comes in. can i set up lightflow to do so for the app threema as well?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Ubelsteiner:
I've been having issues with my LED not working properly using recent AOKP builds (apparently this is a common problem that is soon fixed) so I had to start using LightFlow. It works perfectly without Run in foreground option being checked so far.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] k.bergmann2:
no one?

It's already supported.

Click on the add contact symbol at the top of light flow notifications tab.

I have the option turned on where the screen comes on for 5 seconds for a notification. But I also like to have the notification light dismissed when the screen turns on.

These seem to cancel each other out and doesn't help me when I'm not looking at the phone.

Is there a way to make it so that you can dismiss the notification when user presses power button for example, then light flow would know its actually me turning the screen on and not the auto screen on for 5 seconds.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
Select "phone unlocked" in this case it should work better. It's actually more of a "user present" option so should work even if you don't use a lock screen.

Hi xda,

How to get camera LED flashing notification working perfectly like on iPhone, been tried this feature but it's gave my camera/torch not working. Appreciate any reply

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] EmperorX:
I've been using this app for quite awhile and am very happy with the most recent update.

That said, my quiet hours / night mode never work properly. The notification light dims accordingly, but sound and vibrate ALWAYS occur when I get any notification. The only way around this is by manually silencing my phone every night. This is not optimal as I need to be able to receive / hear calls an employee after a certain time has passed in the am. Any ideas?

WhatsApp for example.

The tests themselves don't work. The light turns on for a split second and then stays off.

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] blitzfire:
Mine does the same thing. I tried to get it to stay always-on when charging, but it would just flicker for a second, then turn off. Mine's charging through the USB port on my computer, for what it's worth.

Edit: I got it to stay always on by setting a custom flash rate, then selected always on
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Molitro:
Does the test work correctly doing that?

Doesn't seem to in my phone, but then again it wouldn't be the first time the test fails but the actual app use works right (though it's been a long time since that happened to me)

i wish google would push an update to fix the native notification light. i don't really want to use lightflow.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Enhanced:
I agree.

If Google can just give us the ability to change the LED natively and maybe give us the battery percentage, I feel as if I'd never need to use a custom ROM anymore.

Small things like this are annoyingly missing.

Only with a custom rom, or somebody who knows roms better than me telling me how you might control the led driver directly like I do on some phones.

Lightflow does a workaround for this in the later versions.

I admit the test is crappy at the moment and needs work. It's really complicated with the way the app is at the moment, but I plan to change that.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] floepie:
No, I don't! I would have thought Hangouts notifications settings to be sufficient for all notifications within Hangouts - for both SMS and Hangouts. Is this not the case?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
I guess that's because the screen is always on is it?

---------- Post added at 01:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 AM ----------

In 4.4 they are seperated. The whole thing with sms and hangouts is a real pain, but having both on should help. It's so different between android 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 in the way it's all handled.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] britoso:
Shouldn't this thread be in the QnA section?

I was hoping there was an actual alternative but found a question.

Edit: nvm this forum is full of questions.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] floepie:
OK thanks, but what do you mean by separated? If anything, aren't they *combined*? I thought that was one of the biggest changes to 4.4, that SMS and Hangouts are combined. In any case, I'll enable the SMS Apps notification. Thanks...
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] wera750:
Is there a way to have a notification for non sms hangout messages?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Molitro:
Actually in my GNexus I think in cyanogenmod's 4.2 and 4.3 at least the test worked fine. And know is working right too, "always on" doesn't work in neither the test nor the app use, but pulsing works fine on both cases, so.... I don't really have a problem with the test right now, seems to work as it should.

On the always on issue, you mean you'll have a work around in upcoming versions right?

Edit: well, I seem to have to take that back. The test worked when I was setting up the app on Thursday, but I can't get it to work know.

Edit+: oook, and now I take back my previous edit. The test does work, it just takes quite a lot of time front he turning off of the screen to the lighting of the led.

I also noticed the workaround (I'm guessing you mean the very slow pulsing), which works too.

Is it possible for LightFlow to work on the Nexus 5 without having the persistent notification? It really bothers me! But it isn't working when I hate light flow notifications. I was able to get Light Flow to work on my Note 2 without having it show a persistent notification.

BTW love the app, bought it with some google play credit I had.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] YouWanaCooky:
So I just got Light Flow for my MotoX and I really love it, however I am having an issue. Whenever someone who I have given both a personal sms tone and incoming call tone calls me, I hear both tones go off instead of the individual incoming call tone. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] RoccoN4:
Probably because you have the notification sound set to both lightflow and the actual app. Take off all notification sound and vibration from the actual app and you should be fine.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] YouWanaCooky:
I thought that could be the issue before I posted so I checked and that wasnt an issue either. Both my standard texting application, and my normal phone settings both have their sounds on silent or none. The text tone that plays whenever the person calls is only used on Light Flow. Nowhere else is that sound used on my phone in other apps.

[MENTION=220547]andrewpmoore[/MENTION] any plans on adding global settings capabilities? It'd be nice to set ALL my notifications blink speed from "Fast" to "Medium" for example instead of setting it individually for 16 different notifications.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
The next release will make setting them much quicker with the new user interface. The plan been after that's released is to add templates that you'll be able to have several and quickly apply them to multiple notifications at a time.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Thanks.

Also have you seen any issues with the Nexus 5 recently? For example my missed call is set to a red LED. It blinks very fast like a strobe for the first 2 seconds before settling down on its normal blink rate (medium for me).

Also any thoughts on being able to add any app like CMs light manager? That way you don't have to manually add apps to support?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
On the nexus 5 that couple of seconds of flashing always has happened. It's a hack to work around a bug in the nexus 5 that can cause the led to get stuck on. I've put in that blast of colours once the screen is off as this stops it getting stuck.

The "nexus 5 force led reset" option in lightflow, settings will actually switch that off (but you'll probably get a stuck on led). From what I've read in the 4.4.3 changelog I think there's a fix coming for this.

I am planning on adding support for any app it's also planned. I just heading towards being able to add that in too.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] LollieLaurie:
Since last week I don't get any led notification when I have a new email or hangout message.

The others still work.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
Maybe try going into your phone settings, security, notification access and switch off and back on light flow and then reboot your phone and see if that helps.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] cpasoft:
This worked for me. I had this issue last weekend. Why is this happening? Maybe a Google update? I guess this is the third time that I must to do this trick...

Enviado desde el movil
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
The most likely cause is if you use any apps that kill other apps such as task killers, battery savers or sometimes backup software. These I've seen leave the notification listener service in an incorrect state afterwards.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] cpasoft:
Thank you for your support. It must be the backup software, because I don't use task killer or similar software...

LED issues with SMS and MMS

Andrew,

After upgrading to 4.4.3 on my Nexus 5.. I have noticed my SMS and MMS led notifications are not working. If my screen is off, and a SMS comes through, I may.. get one flash of the green led, but that is it. after the screen goes off by itself.. the led does not keep flashing as it did before.

I am using GO SMS Pro for my texting app. I think it may have something related to this app because every other type of notification works! Email, low batt, missed call, etc. I also have the LED settings in GO SMS disabled, this was the issue when i first started using Lightflow.. but even with this setting disabled, the SMS/MMS do not light up the LED.

I have even tried wiping and reflashing 4.4.3 to see if this may have been the issue, it did not solve the problem.

Can you help?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] gbarayah:
I am also having issues since upgrading to 4.4.3.

I only get notifications for hangouts/SMS messages and those are not the color or the flash rate that I have selected. All other apps do not show anything.

Running stock with root and xposed.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Battleship:
I'm having issues, too. After the upgrade to 4.4.3, I only get notified for one of my Gmail labels (not the inbox). I've done the usual troubleshooting, no go. I'm on a Nexus 5, stock.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] tuncan:
I'm using "Light Flow" and I'm looking for feature and can't find it (maybe app don't have it).

I want that after some time, the notification light gets a sound. So if you don't see notification light for example half an hour, it will start with beep or something similar.

Is this possible?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] siren215:
I dunno why if this problem is only with me or the app itself. I had install lightflow and configured it for whatsapp, hangsouts, missed call, fb and gmail notifications. I used to get correct color led for some but not for all. It either displayed wrong color or didnt display any led at all. Also even if the notification was seen and cleared, the light kept on blinking and i had to restart the phone to get rid of it? Can anyone explain me this abnormal behaviour?

My mobile is N5 with everything on stock and not rooted.

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] jordi_e:
Work well in here, running stock rom 4.4.3

Have you try to reinstall the app and configuring again

No MMS notifications when using Handcent, SMS are fine. This has been broken for a while for me and I've searched for a solution online, to no avail. New version today it's still broken for me.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] :
After I unchecked 'run in foreground' the persistent notification disappeared, which I also liked it to do so. But after locking my Nexus 5 the LED just randomly started to blink without receiving a single notification. Not only was it blinking, the colour of the LED also changed a lot.

How can I fix this since I would still like the persistent notification to stay away?

Edit: Also LF seems to take up a huge amount of my battery life. It does not drain it, but after being fully charged the usage is about 20%. The total battery percentage was still 80%, but this still seems an awful lot for an app which only wakes up every now and then.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
WIth handcent does choosing the sms option and notification monitoring help at all?

---------- Post added at 01:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 PM ----------

That sounds a high usage. It should typically be around 2-5%. instant alert can cause quite a bit of drain though as it's monitoring sensors all the time

---------- Post added at 02:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ----------

I JUST unchecked "Show Notifications" in the Light Flow app info and it stopped working.

Note that the led is part of the notification as far as android is concerned, so removing that will remove the led (and potentially sounds and vibrations depending on how they are set in lightflow)

---------- Post added at 02:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 PM ----------

The notification listener isn't great in android 4.4 (it was fine in 4.3) - as was speaking to another developer today about that exact issue and it hits his app also in the same way.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] jabok:
I'm not specifically sure what you mean there? I know it used to work, then an update to Lightflow and/or Android stopped it (for MMS only). At that point I tried changing various settings in Handcent, and in Lightflow but nothing worked. I gave up because each test was costing me 40p! ;)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
There's the repeating sound option, you could enable this with a repeat frequency of 30 mins and a duration of the same.

---------- Post added at 02:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------

I think at the moment with handcent (which I find to be the most troublesome of all sms apps) that choosing the sms option in lightflow should pick up both sms and mms under the same setup (ie they won't be differentiated). In lightflow->notification settings->sms->choose "monitor notification bar" options for switching the notification on and off.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] :
I noticed too that unchecking notifications stops the app's functionality, because I tried that as well. But when I checked that again and unchecked the 'Run in foreground' in LF itself the LED just started blinking in multiple colors without me getting a 'real' notification of an app.

About the battery: I do not use instant alert. So I do not really know what is going on. I uninstalled the app and then installed the app again, so I'll see for now what is going to happen. I'll keep you updated if the usage stays that much.

Edit: After reinstalling the app it seems that the blinking LED without a 'real' notification has disappeared. Battery usage I still have to find out whether that will have changed.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] :
I read about an update to Light flow? Still haven't received it on the play store.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] :
The update is happening in a staged rollout through the Play Store, so it will be available in the coming week or so. I don't have it either, but I'm really looking forward to it.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] mike760534211:
got the update today and noticed that it is hit or miss if it detects a new sms and if there is already a flashing notification from something else it wont always detect a new sms. dont receive alot of mms so not sure on those.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] :
Ok. So it seems I was a bit fast with talking about my battery usage [MENTION=220547]andrewpmoore[/MENTION] After reinstalling the app the usage also went down a lot, and now I don't even see the app in the Battery section. So no worries, everything is working fine now!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] JerryPi:
Hy there i see that there is a new version of the app. I have a purchased version of lightflow but i haven't received the update yet. What i find funny is that in store it says that it was updated on 23.6 but under my version number it still has that the latest is 3.15 that is still the old one. Another user of your app in my family has already got the new version a few days back. On the other hand i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it still downloads the old version. What could be the issue? Is this normal and I'm just to inpatient? ?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] bmdixon:
