Please make sure that the Always On Display is set to ON and "Always display'. I also recommend you raise the brightness all the way up.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akersch:
Yes, the next update will have the correct location for the S10e, as well as the ability to customize the location, size, color, and even shape of the LED notification!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] kezzuki:
wow, cant wait:laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] AnonimusDinonicus:
This is interesting, but it seems already surpassed by another app called "Always on Edge." One disadvantage with LED Me Know is that Always On Display needs to be enabled. That is not the case with Always on Edge.

If you can accomplish the following, you'd give us the app we truly need:

1.) Kill Always On Display dependency.

2.) Support notifications from all apps - especially the popular messaging, phone and email apps.

3.) Customize different colors, display time and blink patterns for different types of notifications, along with the ability to endlessly alternate between multiple notifications forever.

Light Manager (Pro) used to give us:

a.) the ability to keep the light on steady instead of blinking

b.) customize notification colors for specific contacts for phone and messaging apps

c.) if you receive multiple types of notifications, alternate throughout their respective colors/blink patterns/etc.

IE: If I received a text message from a random person, a text from my girlfriend, a call from a random person, and my battery was dying - the LED would switch between colors respectively and display each for 1 second at a time: blue, pink, green, red (in this case). It was awesome - I knew exactly what my phone was telling me without having to look at the screen at all.

4.) That being said it would also be nice to be able to set it to notify you when your battery is under a certain percentage, when it is charging, and when it is fully charged.

You should use Light Manager as a guideline.

Also, I tested your app on an S10e and the ring isn't lining up correctly with the front camera. It's too far to the left, so it looks like a crescent moon when you receive notifications.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akersch:
These are all great suggestions. I will address them in the same order:

1) The only way that I personally know how to accomplish this without root would be to keep the screen fully alive. I cannot say for sure how the "Always on Edge" app is doing it, but I would venture to say they are preventing the screen from turning off. This, by nature, drains the battery very quickly, I would be interested to see the battery consumption comparison between that app and LED Me Know. I do have a feature in my app that will hide the AOD, however, I am still working through why the clock will elevate itself to the top after a minute or two. I expect to have that figured out sometime in the near future.

2) All notifications are currently supported. Regardless of the app, the last known notification will trigger the color notification. This also includes static notifications (for now), such as Do Not Disturb, which will create a gray LED.

3) Customization features are currently in development, including customizing specific application and contact colors.

a. this is highly ill-advised, as keeping the light on without flashing could cause burn-in. However, I will add the feature with a warning dialog for those who do wish to have a solid light

b. (see main 3 point)

c. this is a great suggestion and I will add it to my backlog of requests

4) I am planning to have special animations for when the device is charging, as well as fully charged. If you have requests for what these animations look like, please feel free to reply and I will do my best to accommodate.

Unfortunately I only have a Galaxy S10 and Samsung's official skins don't actually show the hole punches. That being said, in the update that I will be (hopefully) publishing in the next few hours, you will be able to fully customize the size, location, and shape (circle/rectangle with corner radius) of the LED. Even more customization is in the works. When I publish the update, please use the settings to adjust the exact location of the LED and let me know what settings you find to be optimal so I can update the presets accordingly.

Thank you for your feedback and support!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] AnonimusDinonicus:
Thanks for taking this so seriously! I can't wait to see what you come up with for this app.

Have you messed around with Always On Edge at all? I'm sure you have, but in case you haven't, it might be worth downloading it and toying with some of its settings for some more ideas - or maybe some insight into how it works with/without AOD. The settings are not very easy to understand if you ask me.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akersch:
Yes, I played with it but I found it extremely confusing and cumbersome. I also found that it doesn't work the way I want it to, so I just decided to make my own.

The latest update, v1.2, is currently rolling out. Please update the app when it is available for some awesome new features that I'm sure you'll all love!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] john104:
thx....but yet nothing new for me.

my S10 have exynos soc :(
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] saxena1:
I update to v1.2 position of circle is ok on S10 but radius is circle is big . hope you have to solve this in next update.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akersch:
Please use the customization options to edit the width and height of the led light to your liking
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] cam30era:
A little feedback for your development processing: I've been using Always on Edge for a week now and battery consumption is very low (less than 1% per hour) on my snapdragon S10+. I'm not a dev, so I have no idea how he does this. And I agree about your comments regarding AOE UI....
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akersch:
Thank you for that info. As I mentioned, the LED Me Know app on average only consumes roughly 0.5%/hour, well below 1%/hour. I am still working on major features right now but except to roll out an update in the near future that gives the option for even more reduced battery consumption.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] b3y0ndd34th:
I would like to see if this app meets my needs, but it is not available for the S10+.

I am willing to beta test if that will help speed up the process any.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akersch:
Thank you for that catch! I uploaded the new update but forgot to allow the Galaxy S10+. The entire Galaxy S10 line is now supported so please check the link again, it should be available for download on the S10+. Thank you for your support.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] b3y0ndd34th:
Thanks! You are awesome, it still says it isn't compatible, but I know it takes some time for the play store to update. I will keep checking back!

It's on the play store now :)
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akersch:
Excellent! If you wouldn't mind, please let me know if the S10+ preset needs to be adjusted at all. Thanks, enjoy!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jeshter2000:
Still not available for the S10+ in the Netherlands .. Can someone share the APK..

Edit it just became available... Trying it out now!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akersch:
[EDIT] Excellent, I'm glad you are able to access it, enjoy!

I have just confirmed in the Play Console that the S10+ should be available in the Netherlands. Please be patient, as sometimes it can take up to 24 hours for the changes to take affect. If the app still is not available by tomorrow, please let me know, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] vojopd:
And what's the battery consumption with this app?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akersch:
Please see previous posts regarding power consumption. The average consumption seems to be right around 0.4-0.5%/hour but it depends on usage, device settings, and what other services your specific device might be running.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Dockyy:
Very nice, hide AOD feature is a very good idea !

I donate btw...

I set the "led" as a circle juste beside the notch, it's perfect!

I hope It will be possible the exclude some app, the LastPass persistent notification is annoying ...
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akersch:
Thank you so much for your support and generous donation!! I'm so glad you like my app.

The customization of which apps display is in development, right behind finishing the baseline led style and charging style/animation. I expect to get to the customization of which apps display (and in what way) by next weekend.

I'm truly working on this in every free moment I have so please bear with me as I complete tasks as quickly as I can, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] filou76:
There' an app called "ALWAYS ON/OFF". It activates and deactivates AOD depending on if there are notifications active. wouldn't this solve the AOD dependency somehow?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akersch:
I am aware of this application and the ability to programmatically turn AOD on and off. However, there is no way to programmatically change the settings of AOD, Samsung has locked that down. That being said, turning off AOD will provide benefit for when no notifications are active and I plan to implement this when I finish the major feature additions and move back to fixing the AOD hide feature. Thank you for your suggestion!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] kezzuki:
Wow, this "always on/off" app works great on my snapdragon S10E !!

It solves the no-LED-indicator problem with the simplest implementation (as it 99.99% uses Samsung's android functionality but not its own).... except that there is not blinking effect on the screen, but thats not an issue for me at all.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] andee39:
Thank you for your app. Looks very cool. Does it include battery charging/full LED notification?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akersch:
Please see previous posts regarding features and customization options coming soon. Yes, this feature is currently in development.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] andee39:
My apologies. I thought I had searched thoroughly before posting. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akersch:
No problem at all, thank you for your support! When I get back to my computer tonight I'll update the original post with the list of things currently in development.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akersch:
Many of the baseline issues and bugs have been resolved at this point. Please update the app now and give it a try! More features and bug fixes are being worked.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akersch:
Persistent notifications are ignored! Please update the app and enjoy!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akersch:
It does now! :D Please update the app and see that when charging the LED will be red, followed by green for fully charged. Charging style (color, shape, animation, etc) are currently in development, stay tuned!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] andee39:
Thanks. I will take a look.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akersch:
The new version 1.4 rolling out now allows you to customize which apps show the notification LED, as well as customize each app's color. Enjoy!

Hi [MENTION=9846730]akersch[/MENTION] , Any hope to add other languages? Spanish example.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] funiewski:
Now is almost only possibility to set different blink time for each app left to make the app near perfekt and different charging colors depending on current battery status ?

Great app, best one that I have used so far. One thing that I would like to see though is the swirl feature instead of blinking on and off that the other apps use.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] SalamiQueen:
I completely agree, also I've noticed it seems to blink when I have music paused on my AOD - does anyone else have this? Apart from that it's pretty much near perfect!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steelersmb:
For some reason, none of my notifications are working now. Everything was working fine but then stopped. I also uninstalled and reinstalled and it still isn't working however, the charging dots are working so I know AOD is set to on.

---------- Post added at 01:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------

Well, I was able to get it working again. I disabled hide AOD and renabled it and now it seems to be working again.

---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

Question, if you receive multiple notifications, do they alternate? Doesn't seem to be the case but wanted to ask.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tiho5:
How is it batterywise?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steelersmb:
I'm not really sure to be honest. I stopped using it mainly because when multiple notifications come in, it doesn't rotate them, it only shows the last one. Kind of a deal breaker for me but hopefully it will be an enhancement in future versions.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pierre118:
Great app! I now have a little round LED in the middle top of the screen for my notifications, just like the hardware ones on other phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steelersmb:
Is this app still being worked on?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Dexter_prog:
nice approach, but unfortunately it drains about 2.5%/hour for me, and I find that unacceptable. I'm sure it's got to do with AOD, and since all these apps use AOD, I guess I'll have to pass on all of these apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akersch:
Yes, I've been on work travel in May but will continue development when I return in June. New features and enhancements are on the way!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akersch:
Please make sure that you are using the recommended settings. All testing has shown a battery usage of 0.5%/hour. I apologize that you are not having a suitable experience with the app.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akersch:
At this time, there are no plans to support other languages. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this causes.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akersch:
The A50 is (and has been for about a month) supported. Please let me know if you have any issues with it, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akersch:
Unfortunately this is not possible with the current implementation. This also is to conserve battery, but the app utilizes the AOD, which does not allow for dynamic animations. I may implement this in the future using a static gif approach, but for now, static animations are the only option.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] chalofito:
No problem friend, Thanks for your hard work.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steelersmb:
I guess this app is not going to be updated any further either.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akersch:
Actually, I just posted an update to version 1.6. Thank you for your continued support!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] funiewski:
Thanks for the update.

It would be great if you could add a choice between one or multiple dots during charging?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steelersmb:
Thanks for the update. The only thing that I see that would be nice is to have the ability to create the swirl instead of a solid line.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akersch:
Unfortunately that's just not possible on the AOD. I have tried it in many different ways but because the AOD is meant to conserve battery, it does not show animations of that nature. I have seen gifs and other things on the AOD before, but it's a special thing that is specifically locked down for Samsung. In the newest version of Android, changing this setting is not possible. Google has decided that certain settings should no longer be accessible in order to help with privacy, instead of fixing the actual problem they just put a band aid on it and cut developers off at the knees.

I will keep trying and if I find a way to do it, I will of course add it to the app.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steelersmb:
Holey Light does this.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akersch:
Holey Light violates Google's terms of services and they are in direct violation of the Google and Samsung licensing agreements. There has already been a complaint submitted to Google in regard to this. You will also note that Holey Light has not been updated since April 25, probably because the developer was asked to stop. Holey Light has an open source git that shows how they are circumventing Google's restrictions, so while it is technically possible, it is not legally or ethically possible. So, for the time being, my app will not have animations on the AOD until such a time that I can find a way to do it legally, ethically, and in a battery-conscience way.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] lockexxv:
Spoke with you in the reviews section and you linked me here. The character limit there is rough going! :P

So, my bug report I was attempting to deliver over there was that when I download the app and install it and go through the setup, it goes smoothly and I get it setup to how I want and it works. However, if I go into any menu that "LED Me Know" uses for its functionality AFTER it's setup and working, it bungles up and permissions get wonky.

For example, the app was working fine but I had to go into the lock screen settings for a separate reason (to remove shortcut icons), and once I made my changes, the "LED Me Know" notifications weren't working anymore. When I went into the app, I noticed it changed my rectangle light from having round corners to sharp edge corners. I had to adjust the curve slider, and the settings didn't save (when I went back into the app after making the changes, it was like I never made the changes at all).

Another change was that I have all APPS toggled to "OFF" in the menu, and only have Messages and Phone to "On." So long as I don't make any changes in lock screen settings, or AOD settings, those will stay. However, it seems once you access any menus of the phone's default OS that is being used by "LED Me Know," then "LED Me Know" will uncheck everything (including Messages and Phone) in the list.

When these problems start happening, nothing seems to fix it. I can go in there and make changes, but they don't take. Restarting the phone or full power cycling the phone does nothing for any of these errors. I am using Galaxy S10+ and it's brand new (just got it a week ago today). I don't have any other apps installed that could interfere, but I -did- try using "Always On Edge," "Holey Light," and "Good Lock" with "EdgeLighting+" through Galaxy Store first. Those are completely uninstalled but I don't know if they left behind any "breadcrumbs" that would effect this somehow.

Also minor suggestion for the app: It doesn't show navigation buttons on the bottom when in the app (like home), which makes getting in and out of the app a bit cumbersome. Also if you added a "save settings" button to the app it might make a difference or something?

Hope it's clear, it's a bit difficult to explain. No matter the case, I still rate the app 5/5 stars because it does exactly what I need. It's a little hard on the battery, even with AOD set to hidden, but it's worth it. I absolutely have to have notifications because I just don't carry my phone around 24/7, and like to see it flashing if someone tried contacting me when I was away from it.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akersch:
Wow, that is quite bizarre behavior, I will absolutely see if that happens on my own device (S10) later today. It could be something you have installed, or like you said, breadcrumb remnants of another app, but I will do my due diligence and see if it's a bug. I would recommend for now uninstalling and reinstalling the app to see if that fixes the issues, as you said nothing else seems to fix it right now.

The reason the app doesn't show the bottom navigation is because the app is built as a fullscreen app (like how a game or fullscreen video doesn't show the buttons, you have to swipe over to see them). This is because I want the preview setting to be able to display anywhere on the screen, just as it would be able to when the device is locked, and that can't happen if the app is not fullscreen.

A save settings button is not necessary as any time a setting is changed, it automatically saves, no need to click a button. However, I do have on my todo list to add a feature that allows you to export (and of course import) your settings so you can save them off, share them, send them to another device, or if you want to reinstall the app, so look for that feature soon!

I agree that the battery usage is not ideal and I'm always trying to optimize the app. Just like you said, I can't live without the LED so when I bought the S10 and discovered there was no hardware LED, I was quite upset. I'm glad you find as much usage from my app as I do, and please do continue sending me feedback, I'm very happy to consider any and all requests. Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] lockexxv:
Uninstalling and reinstalling is the only thing that fixes it, and it seems I have to do it multiple times a day if I am tinkering with settings. Today is a new bug, though. I shut my phone down (after LED Me Know had been working perfect since I posted here yesterday) to install a screen protector. When I booted it back up, the Always On Display was showing (I had it set to hidden through your app) and it wasn't the Edge Clock that I had selected (also as your app recommended), but the full clock... and you guessed it, LED Me Know is not showing notifications since I went back into it and set it back to Edge Clock. Time to reinstall again!

I wonder if there's an Android app that can search for remnants of uninstalled apps. I'd hate to have to factory reset and try again, but I'm getting to that point.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akersch:
Wow, yea i hate to say it but a factory reset might be necessary. I've never heard of any of these issues before and I restart my phone all the time. Definitely see what you can find and maybe there's another app screwing with it. As i mentioned in a previous post, Holey Light violates Google's terms of use so it's possible that even after uninstalling, it could still be changing settings behind the scenes. I'll also see what I can find out about cleaning up uninstalled apps but as far as I know, there's not much to be done unfortunately.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] lockexxv:
Since I've only had the phone a week, a reset isn't bad right now. I remember how to change the things I want changed so I'll do that and report back later. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akersch:
I hope you don't have a bigger issue with the phone like a lemon, but please do let me know if that works for you.
