I haven't found a torch app, which is working with the Atrix so far. Anybody knows a working torch?
Have you tried Droidlight?
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.motorola.dlight&feature=search_result
It is a Motorola app. I've had some issues with it, but it works most of the time.
DroidLight is not available for me to download
Tiny Flashlight
http://market.android.com/details?id=com.devuni.flashlight
Most of the profiles work for me except for the white screen light.
Tesla led worked for me.
when I use tesla, one led blinks rapidly before turing off. the other stays on.
I use DroidLight, works good.

I just use the app simply titled "flashlight". Can even put a widget on one of your home screens to turn it on and off with a tap.
I have FlashLightDroid and it works fine.
Torch?
Must be a Brit.
What's wrong with Motorola's Droid Light? Which they say works on the Atrix now. And does very nicely here.

Just wondering if the Nexus S has a notification LED like every other phone, except the Galaxy S of course. Can't find any info of that on the latest previews/reviews.
Early reviews says it does not have an LED.
Use the NoLED app on the market instead http://www.appbrain.com/app/noled/com.led.notify
Hmmm thanks for that! Last time I read about NoLed it was an alfa and ofcourse very limited, but I see it has progressed a lot. I've been using BLN on my Captivate for a while and kind of like it but will try NoLed right now.
yup, no notification LED, luckily noLED has turned into an amazing app. i'm actually using it on my Nexus one. people always find it pretty awesome when they see the trackball and the screen have the notification.

noLED creates a notification icon (dot or actual icon) on your phones screen when you get a notification.
on OLED screens, anytime a pixel is black, it's not using any power, so with phones that don't have LED's, using the screen works since your only lighting up the part of the screen with the notification.
To save even more power you can make it a simple pixel in one corner, or use an icon that moves around the screen (what i use)
And it looks damn awesome too.

Hmmm.....giving it a try, as we speak. Very hard to imagine life without a dedicated notification light. Seems totally insane!!!
You're telling me!
Coming from a Blackberry, I would DIE without a notification LED.
Anyone have issues with the battery life when running the noLED app?
Backlit dedicated buttons...
Just tested NoLed by sending a chrome to phone link. My only real concern is that I noticed the dedicated buttons at the bottom of the N1 seem to remain lit, in addition to the tiny colored pixel notification. Do they stay lit indefinitely??? I did not notice an option to disable this, but I didn't watch it for more than a minute or so to see if they would turn off. It pretty much looked like they were gonna stay on. Pretty sure that would be detrimental to battery life. Did I miss something?
Well, on my Captivate I disabled BLN(custom notification system for Galaxy S that uses buttons backlight) and only have noLed for notifications. It also has the option to use the proximity sensor to turn the screen on/off so it isn't displaying anything while the phone is upside down or in your pocket. Very nice app.

Oh wow you are right, it does look awesome
this is awesome.
It doesn't seem to work with Launcher Pro on my Vibrant. =T
On my Nexus One, I use LEDs Hack: http://www.appbrain.com/app/leds-hack-(root-only)/net.geekherd.softbuttonshack
To turn off the soft button lighting.
Maybe with a combination of this and noLED, we'd have a good combo.
i dont get it, i seriously cannot live without a led notification light on my phone, if google had time to include a NFC tag reader why did they not include a led notification light? even the nexus one has one!
anybody working on or considering making notification light using the capacitive buttons on the bottom? is it possible to use those leds as a notification?
That would be an awesome solution...
To use as notifications OnLY the capasitive buttons and not all Screen as "NoLED" app...
+1 from me...
+1 I also agree
and maybe a stretch and maybe you guys dont agree but you could also have each button be a different notification, ie:
text message the back button would light up, email the menu button so on and so fourth
+2 for this idea
It's already been done for the galaxy s's, BLN requires a custom kernel though.
I prefer NoLed, in the market, works great for notifications. NoLed
Im thinking about getting a Nexus S.
The only thing stopping me is the lack of notification LED.
It would be pretty good if this could work.
And being able to tell if its sms or email etc from which button lights would be very cool. But i would think the backlight is just one big light.
I've had a look at NoLed, but it doesnt seem ideal. If i get a notification while im asleep, the screens going to stay on for up to 8 hours non stop? That doesnt sound good.
Also it seems to mess with the lock screen and wake up of the phone.
So i just noticed today when pressing the capacitive button, it turns off. that likely means each one is lit independently from a separate LED correct? so if thats the case, theoretically each led should be able to flash independently?

From what I read... the NOLED app works well with the AMOLED screens because blacks dont use power. It basically turns on for that single notification or something like that.
You should read more about it from the vibrant sub forum.... with both having AMOLED screens.

Correct, in amoled screens the only pixels drawing power are the ones that are being lit for the notification. You can also set the notifications to timeout after a certain amount of minutes, and can also set a "sleep time" so there no notification while you're sleeping at night. Another awesome feature is the use of the proximity sensor, so that if the phone is in your pocket it doesn't turn on the notification but once you take your phone out of your pocket the notification shows up on the screen.
Check the devs thread for more info:

Yes, I was also thinking this too but could there be some sort of app written making it believe all other buttons were "pressed" so their lights were off once a notification came in? I strongly believe ANYTHING can be changed with a few smart edits I mean people here on XDA bring multi-touch and FM radio's to devices that shouldn't have those features!
Even if you could have each notification have a different light dimmed as if it were being "pressed"
As in: Text message= all lights lit BUT the home
Voicemail=all lights lit BUT the back button ETC...
If they could be seperate that would be great but honestly even if it's all of them it's good enough for me, I just wanna see SOMETHING if my phone is just sitting there

NoLED is ok except for 2 things for me.
1 - I don't like the dots/icons hopping around the screen. I would rather they were just lined up across the top or the side.
2 - It plays around a bit much with turning the screen on and off.
Looking at NoLED there is NO reason why he couldn't make it act exactly like the Notification LED for the Ball on the Nexus One. Just have different colors for different notifications and rotate them on the same cluster of 4 LEDS on the top right of the phone.
Boom you have rotating colored notifications simple and effective
I wish I was better at coding stuff...haha
I'm glad there is a thread going about this!

You couldn't be anymore on point man. The jumping about is slightly unprofessional.
hopefully well see some work towards this once some custom roms start coming out
The reason the notifications move around the screen is so that it doesn't burn out those pixels.

Yes I agree, it would be amazing if they just slid around your screen or drifted all over. OR a pulsing light pops up on the screen just like a virtual trackball like the nexus one!

Hi has anyone found a app that is.compatible with the galaxy tab led.flash light?
I have tried the following but no success so far.
Mobile light
Switch widget pro light widget toggle
Simple light (which claims to be compatible.with galaxy tab)

Use tiny flashlight + led, in the app itself(not working in widget), once the light is on, press on the onscreen button again while the light is still on to keep it on, press that button again to off it.
Meaning, press once to turn it on, press it again while the light is on to keep it on, press 3rd time to turn it off. It's obviously a bug, but great workaround for our overprotective tab
WARNING: Extensive use might damage the hardware as it does create heat.
Thanks,
it doesn't seem to work but i have a suspicion that it may be to do with the Kernel that i am currently on ([OC1.2&1.4GHz][KernelPatch])
might jump back over to modaco's and see what results i get
Yeah I once used LED Light by picolyl , its in market . It worked nice on my JMEv2

Cheers, ive got both the Flash Light apps now and i have just installed the modaco Kernel to see if it resolves my light light issue.
Seems to be working "better" (i.e. the flash light does come on now) but my light goes on and off while using these programs
I wonder if its an issue compatibility issue then. as i am also running overcome rom 1.1.3 + modaco kernel similar to your setup.

Do as I said previously, and u will have light keeps on instead of couple sec off, remember, when the light is on, press the button again!! Not working in widget mode, please follow instructions to the word before saying it's not working.
Have a look at 'Flashlight' in the market too. Does the LED light, but also has some fun options for the screen. Red/blue flashing lights, Amber warning lights, etc. Works fine on my Tab.

Does any else have a issue with their LED Notification Light not working?
No light when charging, or SMS, or Email, Missed Call, Low Battery... never lights up. Almost thought they forgot to install the LED until I used LightFlow to test it. And even then it only works when the screen is off, once the power button is pressed to turn the screen on then LED goes off, even though I set LightFlow to clear notification Manually. (LightFlow was just used to test if the LED was installed/functional.)
Uninstalled LightFlow, send myself a couple test emails and text(from another phone) and There was no LED notification light, just the notification sound.
Really hoping this is a software issues so I don't have to request a replacement device from Google...
Edit/Update: I'm pretty sure this is a software related issue and not hardware, as the LED is there and functions (with the help of 3rd party app, which we should not have to use) - So I'm trying to get a poll here of how many people have issues with the LED Notification light not working. Something to report to Google/Bug Report.

Mine doesn't work either. I tried LightFlow and while it did light up the LED for some things, but not all that I selected, it was too faint to see, have to be in total darkness to see it.
The led isn't supposed to flash when the screen is on. Its been this way with every nexus.

Pulse notification light is checked
Im having the same problem. My led doesnt seem to come on no matter what. I know it worked out of the box because I have seen it light up with light flow but now im wondering if it quit completely and if I should do an RMA.
Mine has been working fine. It's white for TXT's, green for a lot of other things like FB and whatsapp
Yes the "Pulse notification light" option is checked.
I woke today with 6 New emails, 4 text messages, and 1 missed call... No LED Notification light was on, blinking or doing anything.
There not being a notification light is bugging the heck out me, 'cause I depend on them when my phone is on silent at work so I'm able to know there is a message waiting without having to stop what Im doing to turn the screen on every 5 min.

Try 'Blink'
Try the app 'Blink' very simple and its works for my N4
are you waiting 10 seconds before turning the phone on? Thats how long it takes before it blinks again. Whoever programmed the LED truly hates LED notifications because he made it blink so slowly and dimly that nobody could possibly notice it.

Yup, sat there watching the phone for a good 2-3 min after hearing the Notification sound for new email / text. (screen off)
Not sure if its suppose to or not, but I don't even get a LED Notification light when the phone is charging or charged (have to turn phone on to check if the phone is done charging.) Past devices I've had used the LED to notify of charging/charged.
It's normal that it doesn't glow when charging. I really can recommend Light Flow, then you can customise the notification as you wish (the free version is good, I bought the full version because I need steam support, but for normal use there is no need to buy it)

Ok, so my notification light wouldnt work no matter what. I uninstalled sms popup and now light flow works like it should. I guess the sms popup was somehow blocking light flow from allowing it to activate.
No notification light shows while charging, hence why when you charge the phone when it's off, it shows an animation on the screen. It should for calls, texts, emails, etc. though. Mine works. It even shows blue for facebook and white for texts/emails. Not sure why it wouldn't work. Have you gotten the 4.2.1 update?
Additionally, light flow states in its description that it doesn't work on most lg phones.
OK so I have a VZW G2 and my friend has an ATT G2. When he gets a text message his screen will turn on and mine won't. And his notification light blinks about every 2 to 3 seconds where as mine is something like everything 30 seconds. These both suck and I want it to be like the ATT version but I can't figure out how.
Any help would be great.
One more thing, I've also got home screen redraws and he said he has never had one. WTF?
Interesting. I hate how the screen doesn't turn on when I get a text on my VZ g2. Would love to hear the answer or if the is a fix.

Just tried it. It does wake the screen but then it gets rid of my notification light and missed message icon in the status bar all together. So if I missed to screen turning on I wouldn't know I had a new message at all.
