[Q] app that vibrates every 5 minutes if notifications active

Hey guys,
i'm searching for an application or built in option that lets my phone vibrate every x minutes if there are any pending notifications that i did not react to.
is there anything out there that could fit my needs?
didn't find any "repeat"-funciton in tasker either.

i want something like that, for my missed events/calls/sms

yeah, me too.
my 10 year old phone could do this... and had a flashing led :-/

there is an app out in the dev sections here for galaxy s that uses the screen as LED notification sort of
ill have a look this week at coding something as its should only use a few Broadcast Receivers and not be too complex

I think this would be a better idea then the noled app to be honest!

Is there any news on this app?

maybe we could entince the developer of NoLED to include Vibration

Something like 'notify' on the mAemo platform would be cool. Had an n900 which had multi coloured configurable led but it was always nice to have audio notify every 5 mins for missed calls and texts.

Unfortunately it does not work for calendar reminders.

try the app called Missed Call
it works perfectly for me

[Q] Using capacitive lights for missed calls?

I wonder if some dev is already working on it but it would be great to be able to use the capacitive lights (under the screen) for missed calls and missed messages...

Checkout NoLed from the market..
Edit...
Aah sorry I see you mean the soft key lights...

NoLED can't do that. AFAIK there is no such app at the moment. NoLED is close though.

you should check out the nexus s forums. there was an app that can do that on the nexus s but a custom kernel had to flashed that had that functionality built-in. i think it was called bln (back light notifications).
as for noled, it is a pretty cool and very functional app. i used to use the very first beta releases when i had a galaxy s, and i was recently using the market version on my nexus s and it allows for the screen to show notifications of missed events, plus you can also have it give audio reminders every so often if you do not acknowledge a missed event

Notifications

OK I'm really frustrated trying to find a solution. Is there a way to get the screen to light up for a few seconds to a minute or two or keep the soft keys on the Note to light up and blink interval when I get any form of notification, mostly need for messages, miss calls and kick messages and emails. I have tried every kind of app, Noled, MMF, Tasker and a few others. The closest I got to was Llama, which lights the screen up but only for a few seconds like less than 3 seconds.
Really need a solution fast, I keep missing my notifications until for more than an hour, I am on PA rom 0.4a and not sure if BLN works, installed the app but doesn't seem to work, someone please solve this issue for me and the rest suffering in silence.
So surprised how such a basic function of screen lighting up when there is a new notification was available in as old phones as my previous N97mini but can't even have it decently working by downloading apps from the play store. I am so tried of Googling, have been doing so for several hours and I am sick of it. Someone with the solution or with their personal solution please post on this thread and share.
Sorry for the rant but really need this fixed soon, once again I'm on PA rom 0.4a

Thanks guys for the suggestions but NOLed is not what I'm looking for, it just drains battery and isn't bright enough to capture my attention but its fine. I found a solution... iPhone Notification.

I hope you don't get burn-in, does it move the notification around?

LightFlow discussion

I remember recently that there was an alternative to LightFlow being featured somewhere (forget if it was XDA or Reddit or somewhere else).
Does anyone remember it? I believe it was a bit more lightweight than LF.
EDIT: Decided to make this the general Nexus 5 LightFlow thread since that's what it pretty much became.

I could find and try this one only.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koo.lightmanager
But eventually I moved back to light flow because it works better for me in KitKat.

I prefer light flow. I like being able to set it to dismiss the light as soon as I turn my screen on. Quickest way to get the light to stop blinking.

Under each notification, choose screen on as the clear notification trigger.

I've also just pushed out an update to lightflow specifically to address lots of issues and workarounds for the nexus 5.

I know that 4.3 brought in persistent notifications like with apps like LF. Still no work around with hiding it?

Thanks for the update! Still not seeing notification light for Hangouts - specifically for SMS. Anyone else experience this?

Mine works fine.
I'm also using Hangouts but I didnt set any Hangout notifications, instead just used the SMS Apps one and the LED light works fine.

Uncheck the foreground option in settings. I always uncheck that and I've never seen any difference, except the persistent notification goes away.

How about getting the led to be always on?
I've always liked it better than pulsing, and set it up like that in the Galaxy Nexus, but can't get it to work on the N5 yet.

is it worth having root mode on as well ?

I see the very first app i ever purchased on the android market for my old N1 is still getting updates (sept 2013).... TrackBall Alert Pro... also Trackball Alert..
updates say it will work with any trackball (hah i miss that thing) and RGB LED.. from what i remember it was a pretty minimal app that let you choose colours/flash rate/etc...

There's an option in each notification under the "light" tab for "LED flash rate" for "always on / very slow pulse". I have it that way for when my phone is charging.

Yes, but in the N5 "always on" doesn't seem to work.

It works on mine for charging indication. What kind of app are you trying to get it to work on?
Edit: I tested in on gmail, and you are correct sir. It doesn't work.

[Q] Read LED Notifications

Hi all. I have been doing some searching around for a way to get the rear LED to light up in any way shape or form for apps, specifically SMS.
Has anyone found a way to get it on AT ALL using apps like Light Flow or Light Manager? Stock or a custom ROM? If you have gotten it on in anyway at all, please let me know! (And how you did it please)
I spent some time emailing with the LightFlow dev last night too, and he is interested in getting control over it too. So anything to get it on is great.
Thanks everyone!

In another thread it was stated that Flashnotification works (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manzy.flashnotification). I did not try it yet.

Just tried, same results.
I have it half on with this app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1958939
Working on full access. Ill keep everyone updated.
To use that app install it and enable it in accessibility. Then open the app and go to auto locate. Choose your LED here. "button-backlight1" is for the left, "button-backlight2" is for the right. It will probably just show you up to the word "button: though. But it appears twice, once on the left of the screen, once on the right. Choose either side. And that's it. It will flash when you get a notification.

Light flow works for me rooted on stock Rom. ...you have to enable it in settings then enable it in the setting for the specific notification You want. .. but now blink or pulse. ....tell the light flow dev to add this option to his app

I sent him an email about this a few minutes ago. But light flow also only lights up half of the ring, the right side to be specific. If you use the app I linked above you can get either half (left or right) working and it blinks!
Ill let you know any updates I get, but at least it is half blinking now!

Worked some more with the light flow dev. We have gotten the FULL led ring to light up! It is currently solid. Ill post more as it develops.
In the meantime here is a picture of my device, using lightflow, when I receive an SMS. Enjoy for now!
