I think we have some lost in translation issues here. Everyone is just getting a bit excited!
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
Hey, just a little update to let you guys know that i'm still here working on this but i've been a little busy with uni recently.

Not made much progress yet but i'm getting there... slowly :)

Thanks to everyone who bought the donate version, it means a lot to a skint student! :D

Cheers guys!
[Streak 5 Android Development] bitziz:
I just updated to Steve's 1.1 and I think that update broke this...

It was working before the update, I had uninstalled and reinstalled but didn't seem to help.

any advice, anyone?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
You'll need to re-root your phone with universal androot before it will work :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] bitziz:
Thanks mate! That worked :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] ren7o:
Not working :(

Hello,

it is not working on Stephen Hydes froyo 1.2. I tried re-root but still not working...

Any body help?

Thank You...
[Streak 5 Android Development] tina333:
Works great thanks, i bought it and it works with every uk rom ive tried... definitely recommend to others :)

Sent from my Dell Streak
[Streak 5 Android Development] kasperke:
is it normal that it just flashes ones and then the screen goes back to black and the touchbuttons also:confused:...would love that they keep on flashing even when the screen goes black.
[Streak 5 Android Development] clickspace:
Any new updates soon?
[Streak 5 Android Development] maek_it_happen:
are you using a 3rd party lockscreen , i was too then i went back to stock lockscreen

and it works fine now
[Streak 5 Android Development] subvecto:
My screen does not turn on at all, only leds flash and home button led stay on and very happy with that. Such a notification is much better and less intrusive than sound or vibration alternatives. Would it be possible to even turn off that home button led, a short alert light pattern and everything is off at the end?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Baldyl0cks:
Hi mate, thanks for the great app, I love the lit home button feature, great to see you have a txt at a glance without turning the phone on.

Any way we can hid the the notification on the bar, looks odd on my white status bar.

Thanks
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
Gladyou like it :)

The notification can be turned off by just pressing Clear from the notification window, it will come back on when you re-open the app however. I'll be removing it in the nextupdate though because it's kind of pointless :p

btw, if anyone has any idea of how to listen for an incoming Gmail or how to scan for missed calls, i'm all ears :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] Doctor_Watson:
I just purchased this app in the hope that it will be an incentive for you to figure those two things out. They are desperately needed features that would certainly set your app above all the rest. Keep up the good work.
[Streak 5 Android Development] fig_jam_uk:
This app is the dogs b*lx :)

Ive had my streak for 5 or 6 days and was thinking the only thing it was lacking was a notification LED of some kind.

Thank you :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] crashDebug:
sorry for the OT ppl but dude your signature rocks so much i just can't stop watching it

btw the listen for missed calls/new mail would be freaking awesome
[Streak 5 Android Development] fig_jam_uk:
I know just what you mean :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] ak47m:
I'm on stock Froyo 2.2 (the 318 build) that was released awhile ago with Fard's tweaks. When I receive a text it will do the correct flashing sequence, but instead of just keeping the home LED lit, it keeps all 3 LED's lit! Any fixes? Also, it's very bright when they stay lit/light up in the sequence, will there be any option to lower the brightness of the LEDs?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
In future updates it will use whatever brightness your phone is set at instead of always being full, that was a bit of an oversight by me, sorry!

About the 3 leds lit, is that when your phone is awake and being used or when it is locked?
[Streak 5 Android Development] maek_it_happen:
Can you make this for calls and notifications by making it receive the notications from missed call app ?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
I'm trying, but i have no idea how to do it yet :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] treylemkn:
+1

Would love to see a missed call notification. I'm not versed in writing apps. Is there anyone that could help Meltus out?
[Streak 5 Android Development] mellojoe:
I appreciate the hard work on this. It is amazing how simple something like this may seem, but how great it works.

I leave my phone on my work desk (using a business card holder as a prop-up stand) and it is nice to just glance over and see that there is a message waiting (or not) without having to pick up the phone and unlock it. Especially considering I am on an exchange server that requires a PIN-unlock (bleh!).

I would love to see a missed call notification (maybe a different LED button?). This is simply stemming from the fact that the missed SMS works so incredibly well, that I want to use more of it. :)

Great work and I look forward to future versions.
[Streak 5 Android Development] ak47m:
When the screen is off/locked. When my screen is on, my 3 leds are lit anyways. It still does the flashing pattern tho, but is it supposed to only light up the home led even when the screen is on?
[Streak 5 Android Development] domin8:
I'm having the same issue. I'm running dj1.5.3 and when I get a notification I get the pulse and screen on, then it goes off and all 3 stay lit. I'm using handcent but have followed the first posts instructions
[Streak 5 Android Development] maek_it_happen:
i had this problem , it was solved when i did a factory reset and reflashed from 02's 2.1 back to steves
[Streak 5 Android Development] domin8:
dang, i just got my streak yesterday so i went from 1.6 to whatever QDL restores to in the walkthrough, then went from that to 1.5.3 so i dont know why i'm having issues on pretty much the cleanest upgrade u can do
[Streak 5 Android Development] maek_it_happen:
Might just be a slight bug ....never raly bothered me too much
[Streak 5 Android Development] mellojoe:
I'm on Steve's 1.5.1 and it works flawlessly for me.

It vibrates, does the led dance sequence, then leaves just the home led on while the other two are off. And it just sits there, patiently waiting for me to notice.

PS: It also seems to work fine on Steve's 1.6 StreakDROID Rom
[Streak 5 Android Development] botenk99:
i was looking for this app all around and find it here from google hehehehe i just download and instal it, please upgrade it for notification for missed call too ^^ thanxxxx a lot
[Streak 5 Android Development] rptw:
i like the idea of this app and i got me thinking, how hard is it to write an app like this or how hard is it to edit this app to not do the flash sequence and just turn on the home led. also, would it be possible to just turn on an led for ANY notification? the bad thing about streak is that it doesnt have that red led that blackberrys do, but then again i dont think many android phones, if any, do have one
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
The app itself is fairly simple (i just don't know how to make it react upon missed call/gmail/etc. SMS is easy :p), it was just the flashing sequence which took a while. But no, it would not be hard to remove the flashing sequence, i will add that option into the next update :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] carhigh:
It makes my buttons not respond when it blinking and some times crashes with a force close
[Streak 5 Android Development] sacredsoul:
Awesome app. Works with the latest StreakDroid 1.6.1 even. Love the pulse and wave. It works even when it isnt minimized which apparently is a bug but its more of a feature for me cos I dont like having things appear on the status bar :P
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
Yeah, the minimize and exit buttons are really just to turn the status bar icon on and off :p

The only way to stop the app is to uninstall it atm, which is a pretty serious bug lol :D

But on the plus side i had an idea which *may* get Missed Call notifications working!
[Streak 5 Android Development] sacredsoul:
That would really be icing on the cake :o I'll wait patiently.
[Streak 5 Android Development] :
Hi Meltus. I paid for you App in appreciation :) Its an App that I think everyone who owns a Streak needs. There's no way that I would have been able to keep up with my messages without it.

However, for the past few updates to DJ_Steve's StreakDroid - most of the time ALL 3 of the lights come on and stay on. Occasionally it works like it's supposed to. I have a hunch as to why this happens but I'm not entirely sure. Here's my guess:

When only the Home screen button is lit by StreakLED - it's when I haven't touched the phone in a while. Maybe over 3 or 4 minutes. However, if I've locked the phone and the screen is turned off, but has only been locked relatively recently (less than 3 minutes or so) all three lights turn on.

I may be right in guessing that StreakLED does it's job depending on whether the phone is in sleep mode, not necessarily when the screen is off. That's why when I lock my phone, the screen turns off but it takes a minute or two for the device to actually go to sleep after that. At this point, if the device display is off but the device isn't sleeping and I get a message - StreakLED lights all three buttons up.

I may be completely wrong about this, but I desperately would like a solution. If anything else it would be nice to at least have the option to light up only the homescreen button as a sequence. I think it's been a while since this App was updated and it would be nice to get this feature as a paid user.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
A few people have complained about this problem but honestly i have no idea what causes it! During testing i always sent a text to myself and then locked my phone, the text always came through within 10 - 15 seconds, so it must be entering 'sleep mode' almost instantly (unless this has changed with the recent updates to StreakDroid).

About the updates, I really have nothing to add as of yet. There are a few bugfixes to do, such as condensing and cleaning up the code (it's horrible, very confusing and some of it rather unecessary at the moment, with quite a lot of test classes still left in ><), changing how it shows the notification (so it doesn't freeze the phone while the leds are doing their thing.) and some other stuff.

I really want to get missed call and gmail notifications working before i do an update but i'll try and get one out before the end of the week regardless. :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] :
It might have changed. One solution or at least feature I would like to see in the next update is one that you have already mentioned : Adding a 5th pattern - Only the homescreen button flashes.
[Streak 5 Android Development] fogozito:
this works for new emails? ping chats? missed calls? etc?
[Streak 5 Android Development] rptw:
just sms at the moment
[Streak 5 Android Development] wyx:
Unfortunately, only for SMS. Is the code free?
[Streak 5 Android Development] :
Is it just me or has the author just stopped updating this app? I actually donated thinking there would be development and support for it.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Doctor_Watson:
Yes, I paid as well and have seen nothing in development. Very unfortunate...

Many more comments like this without explanation and nobody will be donating at all.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
EDIT:

Scratch all that. I'm sorry for the horrible lack of updates but...

...i finally got gmail notifications semi-working ;)

I'll have a release out tonight!!! (hopefully)
[Streak 5 Android Development] maek_it_happen:
Tried it ...doesnt work ....nothing happens ....
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
You sure? It should show a black screen or something when a Gmail comes in. It won't wake the screen up yet though.
[Streak 5 Android Development] maek_it_happen:
No leds light up or nothin
[Streak 5 Android Development] xdjneo:
Superb App

Superb App, awesome! Thanks a bunch

Tried the test build, LEDs pop no problems, just force closes on opening gMail

Would you consider adding other notifications as well, you mentioned missed calls, was wondering if you can add gTalk to your list and/or default system notifications (anything that "pops up on the status bar && uses the system notification sound") that way, all other apps can also use the LED, i.e. whatsapp, twitter, facebook etc.

Any thoughts?

btw: using streakdroid 1.6.0
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
Glad to know it works!

I'll certainly look into adding notifications for everything else but I can't promise anything! ;)
[Streak 5 Android Development] maek_it_happen:
why does it not work for me....im running steves 1.7.0
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
Doesn't work for me on 1.7.0 either, not sure why. According to xdjneo, it works on 1.6 so i'm going to look into that.

Does the old apk work on 1.7?
[Streak 5 Android Development] maek_it_happen:
Yep
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
And on that note, it now works on 1.7.0 and i've fixed the FC issue!

Fully working Gmail notifications! (Menu button lights up) :D

(The only problem is that SMS and Gmail will overwrite each other, but i should be able to fix that)

I'll upload it now.
[Streak 5 Android Development] maek_it_happen:
Thanks on that quick resolve
[Streak 5 Android Development] maek_it_happen:
Still not working ....and there still only 4 selection not the fifthe from the other version
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
Yeah i added gmail compatibility to the old version, its the only way i could get it to work.

You'll have to remove all previous versions of the app otherwise it wont work. I should have added that to the first post :p
[Streak 5 Android Development] Techvir:
Edit : Said that too soon

It works well with steve 1.7

Thanks
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
edit: nevermind
[Streak 5 Android Development] Techvir:
Feature request :

Option to not turn on the screen would be great.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Techvir:
Sorry i edited my post ..
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
So does it work for you now?

Also, the screen needs to come on temporarily so i can turn on the appropriate LEDs (can't control the leds when the screen is off).

Unless i can find a way of doing it it's a no-go i'm afraid.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Techvir:
yes it works for me. Like this app.

I understand the limitation about the screen.

Idea : One way to do it would be to include the code to turn the screen off after the led are lit , instead of waiting for the screen to turn off by itself (my default is 1 min . I get emails very frequently and this would drain my battery a lot. )
[Streak 5 Android Development] Techvir:
How do i turn off the taskbar notification
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
Press the Exit button within the app (or press 'clear' in the notification area).

The screen should turn itself off but it does take a while, sorry about that. I'll see if i can speed it up :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] Doctor_Watson:
Can you please push this update through the market?
[Streak 5 Android Development] maek_it_happen:
still not working ...
[Streak 5 Android Development] ashr:
Just installed and will test out and give you a verdict :) cool concept though
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
Yes, i will do soon. I want to add a few more features and fix a few bugs first though.

Really? It seems to work for everyone else.

Have you removed all previous versions? Try clearing the SU access list and then try again.
[Streak 5 Android Development] xdjneo:
Thanks buddy works great for me, not FCing on changing orientation, just minimizes. Though I am still on 1.6 will upgrade to 1.7 this weekend. Will play around more and let you know if I come across anything.

My screen timeout is also 1 minute but StreakLED just turns the screen on for maybe 3-5 seconds tops and then quickly turns it off.

Would be nice though to speed that up, (Less batt. burn)

Functionality & feature set should take precedence over optimization. Sorry for being greedy :P

Though it would be smart to develop and clean and optimized version, and increase the feature set on that vs. the later.

Keep up the great work, it's much appreciated.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
[UPDATE]

Nothing major, Just a few additions. See OP for more details! :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] maek_it_happen:
omg still doesnt work ...li don't know how i could be ****in this up lol
[Streak 5 Android Development] homer4evr:
Is there a way to not have the screen come on. Its in my pocket than I'm going to be clicking on apps all day if I don't check it right away. All I would like is the lights to come on. And I have a beta streak aws the gmail won't pickup.(no lights) is it just my phone?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
I've stated many times before that this is currently impossible.

Although, it only wakes up to the lockscreen then turns back off after a few seconds so i'm not sure how you would open any apps.

Not sure what the matter could be with gmail. Try reinstalling the app and see if that helps, it's still very buggy and i need to clean everything up a bit!
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
edit: see next post
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
Just a little update for 1.3 - .apk uploaded (see OP)

New LED patterns

- Carousel

- Runner

- NO PATTERN (Super quick. screen comes on, turns LED on and turns the screen back off before the notification sound plays!)

Locked to landscape (if you rotate the phone during an LED pattern, the LEDs will flip out and do some funky patterns! This is hopefully a temporary fix)

UI changed slightly (Minimize and Exit buttons now locked to the bottom left and right instead of hovering in nowhere. Text redone)

Minimize and Exit buttons renamed (Minimize (With Notification) and Minimize (No Notification)

Separate "Settings" screen for pattern choices

Once an animation is added, a "working" screen pops up

App should remember your choice. Under the drop down selection menu will be some text with your current choice.

Patterns should be a little smoother

Less drain on cpu
[Streak 5 Android Development] nickexperience:
Support for Google Voice would be fantastic for those of us that don't use the native SMS apps. Great otherwise!
[Streak 5 Android Development] madmax85812:
hey meltus...great work. m stil using ur v1.1 as m nt using gmail n thus 1.1 does wat i need perfectly wrt texts. though m jst waiting for wen u'l b adding missed call notification, thn i'l update. bt any which way, gud job n thanks for coming up with this. all the best.

p.s. is possible to add notification for email from other clients? jst askng. :) tks.
[Streak 5 Android Development] grizlore:
hi,

After the update this great tool is no longer working for me :(

The LEDs do not display when I get a new SMS. Although the setup/selection process displays them.

I have uninstalled the older version, and reinstalled the paid app from the Market, but still no joy

Any ideas?

if no, is it possible to roll back to the previous version, as I found it invaluable n my Streak

UPDATE -----

[FOUND PREVIOUS ON INITIAL POST - THX]

"I am using Handcent, but fix, didnt work"

Regards
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
Try deleting the STREAKLED folder from your sdcard. It might be having trouble with some of the choices left over from the old version.
[Streak 5 Android Development] grizlore:
done that... still the same... no LED displaying upon new SMS :confused:
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
hmmm, that's odd.

Does the logcat say anything when a text comes in? If not, the service might not get started correctly.

Try uninstalling, deleting any sdcard folders then install it again, see if that fixes anything.

It is still buggy for me sometimes too, not entirely sure why though. I'll have a look through it and see what the problem could be.

What ROM are you running btw?
[Streak 5 Android Development] yasir_jan87:
Now my SMS comes win in landscape all the time which is annoying so I unistalled.
[Streak 5 Android Development] maek_it_happen:
Gmail is still not lighting up
[Streak 5 Android Development] chuydavilajr:
Do nothing option when screen is on

May I suggest a "Do Nothing" option if the screen is already on.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
Select NO PATTERN. The appropriate LED will come on but then all 3 will light up again. It's a bit of a crap workaround at the moment so i'll work on that.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
[UPDATE]

v2.0 many updates! :D

edit: oh, if someone could take some screenshots for me it would be much appreciated! I can't take them some for bizarre reason (don't ask!).
[Streak 5 Android Development] maek_it_happen:
Still doesnt work ....
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
Can you receive a txt or gmail and watch the logcat too see if my app is actually catching them. It should at least do something!!

I tested it on a clean flash of 1.8.0 and it worked fine. I have absolutely no idea why it's not working for you :(
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
[UPDATE]

2.0.1 - A few bugfixes, etc. Nothing major

Tested working on a fresh install of all available StreakDroids (1.6.0, 1.6.1, 1.7.0, 1.8.0). No problems here!
[Streak 5 Android Development] dazzling:
neat !

if it's not too much to ask, can we have specific single LED ?

Home for SMS, Menu for Gmail, and back for another notification?

i had to ask :p

great work!
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
That's what it does... lol :p
[Streak 5 Android Development] carhigh:
I dont think you understood what was asked. It does not do that. Unless im blind.

If you get a sms the home button will light or flash.

If you get a email, the menu button, or the back button will light or flash.

for me 2.0.1 is not doing that. It wil only work with the home buttons light on both email and sms
[Streak 5 Android Development] Techvir:
Repost from modaco

thanks for the new version . Some Q

1. In the instructions it says " apply and close " however there is no such button .

2. Does clicking exit close the app ? EDIT : No it does not

3. Does it auto-restart on reboot ?

4. Once the blinking lights stops, i have the menu and return buttons lit up... Is there a way to make only one button lit up continuously.. Probably i can save some battery

5. How abt the battery drain ? Any feed backs

Edit : found some answers and added more Q
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
Oh, well that's what it's supposed to do :p

There's some permissions error i thought i'd fixed. It seems that when my app takes control of the lights it wont give it up back to the system. So if a txt comes in when the screen's on the lights wont time out with the screen.

I'm not sure how to get it to give control back, but i'll keep trying.

1) Yeah sorry, i forgot to update the text when i redesigned it. Sorry :p

3) Yes, it should do.

4) Only 1 button is supposed to light up but i've been having problems with the permissions. I'm looking into it.

5) Battery drain should be minimal. I've not actually checked how much of a strain it puts on the battery but it doesn't seem to have much impact.

:)
[Streak 5 Android Development] Techvir:
Thanks for the reply

i did some testing ... Works great ....

Regarding 4) It seems to work properly now.

There does not seem to be any battery drain.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikivy:
I'm new to Win7 (new workstation just a few days ago) and when I plug up my phone to charge or move files around, I'm prompted with this:

Clearly, I don't want Windows mucking about with my phone, but I am curious why it thinks there is something wrong with it. The phone has been flawless since day one and I'm fairly certain there is nothing wrong with it.

Anyone have any thoughts?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
It's just the filesystem for the SD card. Odds are you've unplugged the phone too many times from the USB cord while USB Mass Storage was turned on. Go ahead and let Windows 7 scan and fix the SD card, it'll just prevent any errors in the future.
